That polities makes strange bed- fellows is a rather musty saying but it was never truer than it is during the preseut presidcntal cam- paign. Democratic Nominee Davis had more to do in getting favorable action while in congress on labor legislation than probably any other member of that body at the time. While a wealthy man, he has been a true friend of the man who la­ bors and the affairs of labor would be taken care of with him as president. 1Follette has always been for of his backbone in dealing with issues us they arise and no oue, friend or enemy, has any doubt that he will always do as his con­ science dictates. In his personal habits of course, he is rigidly dry. His life has been such that labor has no reason to fear anything so long as their demands are reasonable. So long as any issue is not before him, he does not make utter­ ances that may embarrass him when it does come before him. Taken ull in all, Coolidge seems to be the ideal of what a candidate should be, although he may not be a Roosevelt in corraling the votes. C’opld we but feel that every holder of a public trust would fol­ low the dictates of his conscience, we would have nothing to worry about. Because Coolidge has im­ pressed himself upon the people aa that kind of a man is the princi­ ple reason why he is assured at the polls in November a larger popular vote than any other can­ didate. Whether that popular vote will give him the necessary majority io the electoral college is not us certain as we wish it were, Davis and LaFollette together may sc- cure enough votes to throw the election into congress. That is the danger, and should the election be thrown into congress there is noth­ ing certain as to what may happen. Many political reputations are liko- ly to be blasted in the event of a contingency of that kind. To elect LaFollette is unthinkable to both republicans and democrats. The logical thing is for republicans and democrats to combine upon,the man who is assured the largest popular vote. That man is Cool­ idge. Unless there is an overturn of votes which there is no reason to anticipate, Davis has little chance of election. If they do net want LaFollette, and they don’t, the logical thing for democrats to do is to make Coolidge’s election cer- tain by casting their ballots for IFollette and always will be. He sways with every breeze that gives promise of the most votes. In bin own state he has been successful in spreading his sails to the correct wind. Ho was pro-Gernian during the war. He did everything he reasonably could to play the game of the slackers of his own state, llis state made a shameful record in the war but Bob LaFollette has since made a wonderful record at the polls, showing that he knew how his state stood. His state is wet, so he is wet— and the wet vote goes to the polls for Robert Marion 141 Follette. He has played somewhat to labor, be cause his state has a large labor vote which he wants, but he haH never done the constructive work for labor which Davis did, and yet he has received the endorse ment of the national federation of labor. He will get a large proportion of the wet vote throughout the country, but he can’t bid for this in the nation at large, us he has in his own state, for in the country at large the dry vote is to be reck oned with. Republican Candidate Coolidge has not been labeled either wet or dry, for labor or against labor, for the klan or against the klan, or for or against any of the things that seem to be kick- ing up something „ of a furore, but he has given several demonstrations Uvans Hughes, secretary of slate, has Deen elected president of the American Bar association. We don’t sec how, with his whiskers, he can qualify for the job. Not Such a Bargain. A gentleman at a country fair was solicited by a lady attending one of the booths to buy something. He gallantly replied that what lu* would care to buy he feared would not be for sale—a lock of her hair. To his amazement and delight, sh ‘ quickly cut off the coveted curl and smilingly received the price offered—$10. The proud purchaser was exhibiting his joy but she rather got the best of the bargain, for she only paid $4 for the whole A'jg. CALL FOB REDEMPTION OF BONDS.

Means Good "Wear New Low Prices on TOO MANY DIVORCES. Wo arc going to risk the clmnce of being called old-fashioned by Haying that the record for 1923 in Oregon of 2394 divorces to 7132 nmrringea is far too great a pro­ portion. In Lane county the rev- ord was 35 divorces to 417 mar tinges—nb>ut 1 to 5—a far better record than that of the state ns a whole, bui in this favored section of the famous, fertile, fruitful \t illatnette wo ought to be able to do better than that. The men must be getting to he a terrible set to live with. The majority of di vorcos were given to women upon the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment. Even the prevalence of (lie bob and the tremendous sales of face condiments are not suffi­ cient excuse for this barbarism upon the part of the male partners to the marring« contract.
