Funny old wi?id isn't niiny season'f aniens upon the metropolis. c o a DR. STAN FIELD AN ALARMIST Betniifle President Hording ivfiweri to continue the Wil enfl policy regarding the Wilson League of Nations,' Dr. St;tn leltl, one of Portland's most prominent ministers of the go, pel, has worked himself into while heat and is heating back and forth acroM the pulpit refusing, to be comforted. It Is apparent that Dr. Slandfield lielonjfs lo that lnrjre number of the clergy who swallowed Mr. Wilson's League feath ers and all, without asking questions, and quite probably without thinking of results to America. The lcarnod should bear in mind that soft words ol n peace treaty or a league menu .but little where nations refuse to be bound. For Instance, look at Germany and her peace treaties. He should also remember that theory is beautiful, but with the world as it Is today America needs and must have an army and a navy. The very ones who speak loudest about disarmament are t),e ones whose tears of joy will flow when in times of trouble A "Black Jack" Pershing and his trained Roldiers parade the streets. Jt is with 'considerable regret that wa noUne lh.it the Co Hvhl.l miti.icr has been put through the homi fe of the United Slat's.

U looks like a political mistake. - It is taking front pnge stories in the Portland newspa pers to get the "for hire" cars out of the business district, in order that regular business traffic mny proceed without in terference. Just why it shoul dre.iuire such an effort is hard to understand unless the charge that many "for hire" cars furnish "refreshments" for Portland people is correct. From the long line of crippled locomotives in the yards one Js forced to believe that if railroad business picks up, men by the hundreds will be needed to put the motive power in shape. Evidently the railroads nve going on the theoi-y that they must live within their cash receipts and therefore when one engine flunks it is sidetracked and another engine put to work.. it?

Somehow Secretary of State Hughes tells other nations just where Uncle Sam stands on everything. Some relief.

How is your garden growing? Soon, the graduate. ' Tol. Bryan has paid a friendly visit to President Harding and so far as is known nothing of ft political nature was dis cussed. Strange, for these two men could engage in quite a political discussion If each should express Ills thoughts. The Japanese have 'insisted on keeping the island of Yap and thus forthwith drafted her soldiers who arc in foreign lands. It will take more, than that to make Charles Evans Hughes recede.

' According to an interview recently given out by Simon Benson on the expensive up-keep oY California hard stirlaeed roads, every taxpayer has a perfect right to shudder when he gji'.es ' into the future. Anyway, salesmanship has come back into its own. The man who sells anything now has to practice his art with con MiWiuhle visor and diplomacy after several years ol merely kaiwliiig it out to the public.

Do they hsio Bonnie B. and I-ester D. back home and quit the game? They do not. They shoot Bonnie and Ix-ster over to the next race town, entering them with just as much enhusinvm and hope as they 1 would hod they always pulled first ' money.
