The road conditions at most

Snow storms to the contrary, spring is just around the

Tho Oregoniun comments on the Literary Digest straw
ballot on prohibition under the heading, "Futile, and Prolv
ubly Misleading." Right at the start, probably wrong at
the last. There is no doubt of the ballot being futile but you
question any statement that it will be misleading, especially
if you recill the Digest poll during the recent presidential
campaign. , Instead of being misleading it has been very
leading and those who thought to the contrary and backed
their belief with cash are now sadder and wiser men.
The new president of Mexico will make a name for himself,
successful or otherwise. He has ordered all governors to
close all gambling houses which would, if enforced, spell
the doom of Agua Caliente, palatial hotel and casino across
the border from San Diego. But strict enforcement is not
likely for some time. Agua Caliente attracts too many spend
ing Americans into Mexico, pays too much revenue to the
Mexican government. Provincial governors are going to be
slow about slaying the goose of golden egg fame, evil though
she be.
i A PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATE
! Governor A. W. tyqrblnd, Breaking before ,thc public meet
ing of the Lions Club last night, made his first official how
to the people of the La Grande territory. And he did it
gracefully, effectively. Thrust into the governors chair by
the sudden death of Isaac Patterson, much curiosity con
cerning this young attorney from Astoria had been felt by
Eastern Oregon people who had known him only by reputa
tion as a senator from a coast county champion of the
commercial fishing interests.
i Last night the curiosity at least of those attending the
dinner was satisfied. Norblad made a good impression, a
fine appearance, numerous friends. In spite of his making
a ono-hundred-per-cent political speech after announcing that
he would not talk politics, His expressions of interest in a
non-sectional Oregon, his arguments for a more rapid develop
ment of the state's resources were both sincere and impres
sive. .

his credit since taking office less than three months ago, it
is obvious that Governor Norblad is speaking for a purpose
the building of a sufficient following to return him to the
office he now holds. He is, however, not alone in this activ
ity. . Other candidates are doing likewise to the best of their
abilities fortunately not handicapped by being forced to
play the dual role of governor and candidate at the sum?
time.
However that may be, Mr. Norblad's youthful enthusiasm
for Oregon's advantages, his high confidence in Oregon's
future are of distinct interest to the peo;
because he is now governor and bee
lor governor. Alter all, llie mosi stgmlicant things in poll
tics, from the voter's standpoint, are the workings of political
policies in relation to material progress. Increased earning
power that will bring about more leisure, more advantages
for one's family, greater capacity to enjoy life, greater secur
ity for existing comforts. These concern the voter greatly
and ho is apt to view a candidate's plea for .support in direct
proportion to that concern. Votei-s have a common goal;
it is the method of reaching it that makes them decide on
different standard hearers. Greater welfare brought alxwt
by advertising what Oregon offeis. by building inure high
ways, adding new advantages. California, as Norblad points
out, has done just that and has thirty inhabitant to the
square mile where Oregxm has eight.
The governor is sold on Oregon and is a progressive by
nature. His will bo a progressive administration and a pn
gressive campaign. No snlnll number of votes will come to
his column because of the desire for aggressive, pingressive
leadership on the part of many people in various sections of
the state. Whether the fear of increased taxes, of over
expansion, of n too rapid pace will drive others into the camps
of his opponents remains to be seen. This much is sure:
Norblad is going to stand or fall on his progressive platform.
And whether he wins or loses in the May primaries he will
have rendered a high service if he can arouse its people to a
greater and more active appreciation of Oregon's unique
advantages.

Facts Number 17 and IS Till coffee was packed in
vacuum, you never knew how much of its glorious flavor you had been
missing. The same is true of tea. The two arc identical in one respect.
A little air a little moisture and pff! the finer flavors arc gone.
With coffee it happens quickly. With tea more slowly but surely.
And it is many months before tea reaches you from the tea gardens
frequently a year. Its original flavor you could never enjoy until
Schilling, by a secret process, packed tea in vacuum.
Fact Number 16 Both a tea leaf and a coffee bean must be
toasted to drive off the moisture, which helps to rob it of flavor. Good
coffee is packed in vacuum immediately after roasting. Tea is toasted
at the tea gardens, then scaled in large chests lined with lead. When
it arrives in America it is repacked in ordinary tins or even cardboard
boxes. And that's where the damage is done! But this is how Schilling
does it. As the tea is poured from the lead-lined chests, it is toasted
(igaiii. ami uliile still hot (just like your coffee) it is scaled in vacuum.
Schilling Tea comes to you as fresh and fragrant as it left the Orient

THE FIREl
INSURANCE;
; ' AGENT 4x
A Useful Factor
In Every Community
In no other business does agent mean so
much as in the fire insurance business as '
transacted by the $tock Compjanies. More
than a century ago these companies estab
lished relations with property owners through
responsible local representatives.
The 6ystem has grown with the insur-
anc needs of the country. Today hundreds .
of the best citizens of every state are in.
contact with the public as representatives
of the Stock Companies.
Great Authority
In no other field is the relation between
agent and principal more intimate. In no
other activity is the agent entrusted with
greater authority.
The Stock Fire Insurance agent has at
his command all the facilities of the com
panies in engineering and research to make
life and property safer. He ha3 access to
systematic hazard measurements; authentic
information about proper building con
struction; the work of Underwriters' Labo
ratories in testing materials and devices,
and other forms of service for the benefit
of the insuring public.
Leaders in Civic Affairs
In ever)-community the insurance agents
arc leaders in civic affairs. They have been
faithful factors in the steady reductions
that have been made in the average rate
charged for fire insurance during the last
twenty years.
The local agent is in position to know
his client and his client's property. He is
prepared to Btudy the needs of each one
brings to each the special service recruired
and may save you money if you will per
mit him to use the many available facilities
and will cooperate with him in imjving
your risk.
