O. K. Aiken, Managing Editor SUBSCRIPTION One Year, J2.00 T1IK DECISION OV THE VOTEItS Many and dlvorso will bo tho In terpretations of tho results of the election Tuesday. It Is perfectly plain, however, that It was a mes sage of protest on the part of the voters In repudiation of the men In offlco, for It was almost Invariably truo that the Ins went out and the outs wont In. Nationally tho most significant result was tho defeat of Frellng huson in New Jorsey and Thompson in Ohio, both frlonds of tho Presi dent, which together with the vast lncrcaso in the number of demo cratic members elected to tho sen ate and to tho lower houso of Con gress makes tho control of tho lat ter body a matter of doubt as this is written (Thursday morning.) That the spirit of revolt against both tho parties was moro or less manifest is pointed to by the strong vote which third party candidates received wherever they were offered to the voters, as evidenced In Idaho and Minnesota where thoy returned Samuels as second is tho three cor nered raco, and In Minnesota whero tho third party succeeded In defeat ing Senator Frank B. Kollog by the oloction of Dr. Shipstead. Hardly loss significant was the narrow es capo of Senator Cabot Lodge in Massachusets, the completo reversal in Now York, and tho defeat of Bov orldge in Indiana which together shook tho republican control In na tional affairs to tho very foundation. Strango to Bay that with this strong trond away from republican leadership In national affairs was tho dofeat of Sonator Atleo Pome- reno In Ohio, who was talked of as tho possible standard bearer of democracy In 1924, by Simoon Fess, and tho defeat of Sonator Gilbert Hitchcock In Nebraska by Howoll. Those cases howover showod tho consistent purpose of roplaclng men In office. Tho result In Oregon Is almost past understanding, judged by ordi nary political considerations. It Is npparent that Mr. Plorco by getting Into the campaign first with his ap peal on taxation captured the Imag ination of tho voters before tho 01 cott campaign was under wny. Ho otfored thom what tho pooplo want, lowor taxes, and notwithstanding tho fact that Oregon's prosont tax bill Is a fixed charge, to a largo do greo duo to bond Issucb, still thoy gavo that llttlo consideration In tholr destro and liopo that a change might bo benoflclal. Addod to this of courso was tho lnfluonco of tho forces behind tho school bill which Mr. Plerco en dorsed whoso strength was largoly under-estimated by thoso In chargo of tho Olcott campaign, and by nonrly ovoryono on tho rim of tho state. It is ovldont that In Oregon tho result was not duo to party politics, as that term Is gouorully used. It whs a porsonal campaign and a con test botwoon groups of dlvorgont opinion within both parties who disregarded party linos entirely. Strange Indeed woro tho forces which united to bring tho results about. Now that tho election Is over and tho blttornoss ongondorod Is ovldont in o calm contemplation of ro sults, It Is to bo hoped that a spirit of tolerance will bo manlfostod nnd rocrlmlnotlons coaso. Thoso who did not provall Bhould look their houses over and endeavor to find It aught bo noedod to put thom in or dor and that this is dono to tho end that Huch a campaign will not again bo tho lot of Oregon. Tho political history, not of Amor leu ulono, but many othor demo cratic nations as well, Indicates that tho spirit of tho contest Just con cluded Is not tho permnnont attitude of tho pooplo. It Is a reflox from tho war and its passions will pass. Tho coming fow woeks and months arc. tho crucial ones. It good Judg ment rules tho majority now It will hasten tho day when this oloction will bo forgotton and bo but nn ln cldont in tho history of Oregon.

Dolls' eyes have i romantic history, says a writer in Pearson's. A Birmingham toy manufacturer j ears ago vvus approached by one of the largest dealers In dolls, who asked him to undertake the manufacture of eyes. The toy manufacturer, thinking there was nothing In the business, turned down the proposition. But the business wus a big one, nni when nn order to the value of 500 was mentioned the manufacturer un dertook the work. The real difficulties of the task then became appurcnt. The first eyes were hopeless failures, and a great deal of money was spent on experiments. The cleverest glass toy-workeru In the kingdom were engaged, but all to no purpose. Finally the attempt was given up. About eighteen months later the toy manufactuier, by a strange chance, met a man utterly impoverished by drink nnd in the last stages of con sumption, who held the secret of tho procebs for making dolls' eyes. He was willing to sell this secret for 10. Eagerly the manufacturer paid the price, but &o Incoherent were the djlng nitin's directions that It wus impossi ble to follow them. In desperation the Birmingham manufacturer went to the Inventor's gurret und saw the protess In actual operutlon. Before half n dozen of the ojes had been made the secret was grasped and the manufacturer of dolls' eyes wus llrmly e&tubllMied. HAS ICE AT ALL SEASONS Penny-urlous, Go to Speak. A man who had Just opened a storo In a strange town was Interrogating one of his early customers on the pur chasing power of the citizens. "Now, there's Deacon Brown," he said. "He has the reputation of being wealthy. Would he bo likely to spend much money In here I" "Waal," drawled the native, relee tlvely, "I wouldn't exactly say that he'd co to hell for a nickel, but he'd flsh around fer ont till ho fell In." Salt LsVe Telegram. Montana Indian, Digging Well, Seem ingly Came Upon Most Remark able Freak of Nature. Mora than eight yenrs ago John Spotted Wolf, an Indian of the Chej eune reservation In eastern Montana, decided that he should like to have a well nenr his log cabin. So he nnd his wife Mary chose a spot near n large pine tree, perhaps I!0 rods from the door, and then John began to dig. By noon of the second day he had dug down ten feet. Although the weather was mild, he had complained of being cold while at work. After eating be put on an extra coat and went to work again. He kept Mary and her brother Rolling Bull busy hauling up nnd carrying away the dirt that he loosened. But In spite of John's extra clothing he still was cold. On the third morning he added more clothing; but when night came and the well had reached the depth of 18 feet he was almost frozen. The next morning he again descend ed the well and worked as rapidly us his many layers of clothing would per mit. After u while water began to appear. Suddenly he sheuted: "Pull me up I Pull mo upl" John had barely reached the surfuco before the well tilled to within a foot of the top nnd then began to freeze around tho edges. In a short time only a small opening perhaps a foot In diameter remained. The well remains Uie same way year after year, tho Youth's Companion states. During tho day In summer the sun melts tho Ice around the top, but at night It freezes again. The well, which furnishes a permanent lea sup ply for the people In the neighborhood, Is a strange freak of nature of which there are so many In the western part of the state. TourUts who visit the reservation regard it as a great curiosity. Norwegian Co-operative Bank.

Oregon. i Brickbats Never Made a Bouquet How many times, Mr. and Mrs. Reader, have you said a kind word to the editor? How often have you stopped him on the street to commend him for an editorial or dropped him a note giving him your support in some fight he was making for the public good? j , An editor doesn't seek any words of thanks. Probably if you did stop him ' and showered some kind words in his ear he would be as embarrassed as a ld-year-old schoolboy speaking his first piece. But at any rate it will sound good to him when he has time to think it over. Instead of words of praise, here is what you generally hear: "Why, that paper isn't worth half the price. It never has any news in It and what it does have is mostly all wrong." Yet when that person wants to advertise a cake sale or a dance he or she sends the items to this same newspaper. Then you hear that tho editor is n crank, that he is biased and doesn't present news fairly, that he doesn't know how to run a paper, and so on and .so on. You have all heard these remarks or similar ones, but are they fair? An editor, in tho first place, is only a human being. Ho is dealing with human beings and it's sound logic that you can't please all the people all the time. At some time or another he has to print some news that is going to offend someone and make an enemy. The editor can't help that. Peoplo who get into trouble" never think about the newspaper until they want their names kept out. Then they get mad at the editor because he prints the news. It is true that an editor makes mistakes, nnd no one regrets more than ho slips of the type, but, ngain, ho Is human, and so is every man and woman who works for him. Did you ever stop to think how many characters there are in a column of type? Well, there are thousands, and that means there nro thousands of opportunities to make errors. And newspapers are generally printed nmid great rush and confusion. A big story breaks. The facts must be learned and put into type. Tho mail must be caught. Every thing is rush, rush, rush. And yet if n fow types get tangled up tho paper is criticized. Tako it right homo to yourself. Can you sit down and write a letter even a short one without sometimes getting a word wrongly placed or misspelled? Bo honest, be charitable and overlook a few mistakes when you see them in your home town paper. No man tries harder to avoid mistakes than the editor. It's common sense that ho would much prefer to have a perfect paper and avoid mistakes. The. editor is a pretty good human being. He is always ready to back any movementfor the uplift of his community. If you want to start anything right in your home town and get it across to tho peoplo you go right up to the editor's door and ask him to help you out. And ho never refuses If it is for a good cause. The editor doos moro and gives away more real dollars in free space than any merchant in town. You can always count on your editor. In fact, you do count upon him. And what would this town be without him and his news paper? Have you ever thought of that? What would tho world be without news papers? It would be like going back to tho dark ages. Business couldn't "function, and everything would be tied up in knots if it weren't for the newspapers. They spread tho ray of light that shows the way to progress. Just think if you had to travel all around town to get the news of your neighbor, your village board, about crops and the markofc. Well, you couldn't do it Yet the editor does this for you he is the connecting link be tween you and tho great news centers of tha world and the news of your home town. This news ho gathers faithfully and as accurately as is humanly possible, puts it on white paper and it is delivered to your homo every morn ing or evening, or every week, as the casa may be, for a penny or two a copy. That penny or two often doesn't pay tho cost of white paper. A newspaper is tho biggest bar gain that is offered to tho public today, and it has been so for years. The next time you meet tho editor well, -just remember he is a human being just like you aro and that tho Golden Rule works both ways. V) o ?v
