One of the most useful pamphlets ever issued by the state, from the standpoint of educating: children and adults alike on the subject of Oregon, has just come to our attention. Is sued by C, A. Howard, superintendunUrf public instruction, it contains a suggested program for the school observance of Oregon Day, May 2, with much interesting material as an aid to the program. Among other things, it contains the more noted poems and songs dedicated to the state and its fea tures. In schools the pamphlet should be especially valuable, should aid greatly in acquainting Oregon pupils with things they should know of their homeland. r? t... 1 i . .1 ii l The Observer has received an anonymous letter from a reader who has numerous things to say 'about the local cham ber of commerce, buying and investing at home, etc, togeth er with the observation that 'of course I know that you do not dare publish this letter." The Observer does not publish anonymous contributions to the "Open Court," holding to the view that anyone lacking the courage of his convictions, indicated by a refusal to sign his letter, ia not worthy of such l-ecognition. When the writer exhibits enough faith iii him self and faith in his own opinion to make his identity known at least to the editor, his communications will--be promptly published so long as they do not deal slanderously in person alities. Under such circumstances we will gladly print the iwirticular letter referred to and we will have the additional "pleasure of discussing .some of its observations and obvious prejudices. TURNING TO WHOM? The coin )elt farmers, which is an organization covering many middle western states, goes on record as opposed to the nomination of Herbert Hoover. It says such a choice would Je an affront to agriculture and would result in all corn belt states turning solidly against the commerce secretary. Hoover, it is true, has not been a strong farm relief man, fiom the legislative angle. Perhaps he feels, as do many faimers, that there is no hope in relief by legislation. The coin belt states may turn but to whom? Is Al Smith such an agricultural expert that the look to him for farm im provement? Corn belt states may disapprove Hoover for op jwsition to the McNary-Haugen bill and be justified. But voting for president is not, unfortunately, a mere matter of picking one from among many favorites. Bather does it lecome tho selection of the lesser of two evils, in most campaigns. Eight years ago Harding was hardly to le classed as a farm partisan. Cox had a much more attractive agricul tural record, yet Harding carried the corn belt states with a popular vote that was astounding. Four years ago the com belt voters knew from experience that Coolidge was not their man, that his knowledge of farm problems and his sympathy for the farm situation were not such as to encourage the. workers of the soil. Davis was pledged to a more promising program but Cal went back into office with great majorities in practically every agricultural state in the middle west. Lowden would be letter from the farm viewpoint; Dawes would be equally good and a better business executive, no doubt. But opposition to Hoover will hardly bring the nom ination of either. A deadlock might bring a "safe, sane, and sorry" compromise in the person of some such republican conservative and incompetent as Nick Long-worth. The corn belt states might turn from Hoover and do much worse. It is certainly doubtful if they have strength enough to do much better.
