It is hard to beat a Democrat when there is an office in sight.
J- lie is on tho job a full twenty-four hour shift and somehow he
I has a way of laying claim to things both in sight and out of sight,
f George E. Chamberlain has resigned from the Shipping Board.
,: According to the way the board is fomied, a Democrat must be
' ; named to succeed Chamberlain. No one denies this and no one
; expects anything else to happen.
President JIarding, however, has the selection of that par
i ticiilar Democrat who is to succeed Chamberlain. It is not written
; in the ritualistic work of either political party that the president
. should be guided by the wishes of any organisation within the ranks
of the Democrats, not at all, for the president has a free hand and
,, may name any Democrat he sees fit.
Our enthusiastic Doctor Morrow, who rises to call attention to
', . the fact that he is the national representative of Oregon Democ
racy, and Dr. C. J. Smith who asserts he is the head of the slate
: organization of Jefferson, take vastly different views of the pro
' posed appointment and lay claim to the pfiwer of recommending to
President Harding whom he shall appoint from the Democratic
ranks. And these two statesmen of Oregon are taking th matter
so seriously they are getting nervous and irritable.
It would be' very difficult to tell just what an Oregon Democrat j
is by way of party support for we have found them in various cam-
paigns supporting candidates at random, and it is an open secret
: that when Chamberlain was in office he was the entire Democratic
' party of the state. With his retirement immediately a bunch of
Democrats arose to claim leadership. When Walter M. Pierce was
trying to run for the governorship it was freely reported that the
Democratic organization was so strongly opposed to him that it
did not intend to let, him run. But he ran afoot and alone and w hen
lie was elected it is also related that immediately the "organiza
tion" camped on the state house steps claiming a great Demo
cratic victory.
President Harding may get to hear of some of the inside work

difference between a man nnl a wo

Editorials From

HUAUTV AM) "THE IIEAST"
Cincinnati Times Star: The com
' ment of Sir William Orpen, tho great
Iminter, upon the etfect et nutomo-:
riles on the female figure is dis-l
quieting to men, but wo doubt if it !
, will have much etlfct upon women.
, Women are in love with their own
beauty, fcut they are more in love
with their own comfort. And the
automobile is here to stav. even If
female beauty Is not. j
Hut will the automobile lend the I
' legs that arc thin, and feet and
. arms that are "wanly artificial," as
Sir William predicts? The fact that:
. ten or iiltecn yeurs ugo ninny wo
men had "iainlablu legs and arms"
and today many women have not
probably ia but u transitory manifes
tation. Th human -being is capable
of great adaptation. More than any
other unimal it can adjust and re
adjust itself to new environments
, and new conditions. It has evolved
the automobile. Its lir has changed.
But it, too, can change. And if the
automobile has a tendency to make
i arrhi and legs scrawny, there are
plenty ofvways by which this effect
. of modern locomotion can be coun
teracted. Nny, the ways have :tp
peared with the automobile, firlf,
tenuis, daily-dozens, diet and other
expedients for the retention of the
human figure already have heroine
part of the physical life of men md
women. Ths Venus de Milo mny not
huvo had the automobile, but luiiher
were there golf courses, tennit, co uts
and Walter Camps upon thP Island
ci itieios.
Most women will be contomntuiu
of Sir William Orpen's animadver
sions upon contemporary femule fig
ures. Ho would not paint their armt
and legal They will continue to puml
their own fares and go merrily on
their way, confident of their physical
destiny.
