"The man stepped out on the
street in u new l'nlm. liench uit and

A so-called Democratic state committee litis I icon pocking nt
rtovernor Pierce the last week because he has not upixmilcd an nil-
Tlomnernlie In villi t form cellllf to EUlTUt of. the Stilte huURU.
Wliat is a Dehioccatic state central committee, waller: rwieie wh is supreme these
do they breed such chaps and where do they stay during the Ionj- '"' ""'
rfnvs weeks mid months Ijetween elections? Who are these jfentle-1
men with highly charged, self-centered ambition? liy what right
do thy rule, or do they rule?
These so-called Democrats must have a line conscience to at
tempt to dictate to Pierce whom he shall appoint to minor offices,
wtlin 7t was the will of this little bunch of satelites that Walter
, Pierce should not run for governor and thus muss up the Demo
cratic party, in Oregon. They argued that he had done a lot of
running and such leaders as Dr. C, J. Smith and Dr. Morrow aim
numerous other "bull" Democrats were tired of having "their"
party continually cluttered up with Walter's "Crime of the Age"
and .other Jtits of .oratory in which the man from the Grande
norma valley specialized lor several years, waiter neeueu not nis
"central" committee, and the results are well known.
True to their party teaching now the "leaders" come in for
their share of the political pie. They do not want the old farmer
governor to1 renifmber how they attempted to "rounce" him out
of the political gamq, and they would like to be a committee to
determine where the offices shall go.
It Is quite a satisfaction to the people of Oregon regardless or
party to know that when "Doc" Morrow and "Doc" Smith, and
the lest of the smaller "Docs" who comprise the "central" com
mittee, called on Walter and made their demands, the executive
went up in the air mucltlike a cow pony pinched by the saddle. He
bucked a few times and then squared himself facing the "com
mittee" and proceeded to deliver an address on state patronage,
party politics and a lot of things, closing with the assurance that
he would 'do Just as he pleased and In the future ho would not
have time to even treat the "central committee" with courtesy to
which no doubt each memler thinks ho is entitled.

TryOut Christianity
At Inst the word hus lecn sent to all governmont heads urging
ft trial of Christianity for thti world's ills. This came from the
International Conference of Christian Citizenship held last week
at Winona Lake, Indiana, and is one of the sanest, most sensible
messages ever delivered to a bewildered and disheartened people g
who have not only sincerely tried to free the world from wars nndig
WHAT WIM, TH IS MEN DO?
Schenectady Gazette: We learn
from a New Ywlt feminist stati
tician thut women are absorbing
.business at a rapid rate in the
United States, that they now occupy
21 per cent of all lucrative posi
tions. The beginning1 of the twenty-first
century should then find the
women virtually in a reversed posi
tion of control where the men are
now'. After that whut will be the
interests of the men? Of course.

"Try Christianity." It is not hard to say. There are but two
words to the message, but it is a message full of great meaning
a message that unquestionably is the last word of saying grace for
n world that has teetered first one way and then the other, with
no permanent results for peace and safety yet established.
Try Christianity for war prevention. Yes, try it for all ills
of the world; try it for the elimination of jealousy, fear and hat
red; try it for sweetening the disposition which is inclined to
wickedly assail n neighbor; try it for your business troubles, for
the young people, for everything.
Man nmde isms and plans go so far regardless of how intelli

THE NEED FOR HOMES
Philadelphia Bulletin :JIAn - adapta
tion of the 'boyhood home of John
Howard Baync, author of "Home,
Sweet Home," was formally opened
in Washington on trie Mall," near the
White House. It follows the general
lines of Payne's hou'e, -but is built
and equipped In accordance with the
most modern stundurds. It is
meant to serve as a type of the j
ideal American home and to help to i
raise the standard of home life, anil '
after being exhibited for a week it !
will be removed to a permanent site j
to be used as a standard demonstra
tion center. ,
There can be no question of the
need of raising the standard of 1
home construction, though at the mo
ment in Philadelphia and in many
other cities the need is not as much
for a perfect ideal- as of devising !
practical meuns of providing rea- i
sonably good homes for the great 1
mass of people at low prices. j

We hoic the 'people of Prinevillo will not be caught on the

in different newspaiK'r seem to indicate. I.a ("Irande was fed up
on sugar factory development only to have it snatched from the
