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.

rtUNDERS OF THE CENTURY
Marvels That Are Accepted as Com
monplace by the Citizen of the
Present Day.
William Allen White, editor of the
Emporia (Kan.) Gazette, In an ed
itorial In Judge, sajs:
"The vast mystery of natural things
Is so baffling that It Is no wonder the
mysteries of the supernatural are
neglected In these dajs of marvels.
The big, Imponderable old world Is
shrinking and revealing Itself us a
speck of cosmos around yhlch Its
inhabitants may ride In a few weeks,
write In a few minutes and talk In a
few seconds.
"Within the memory of living men
the railroad has divided distances by
ten and steam nnd electricity have
speeded up time In the ordinary proc
esses of life's business a hundred
fold. Middle-aged people can recall
the days when there wero no tele
phones, no electric lights, and young
people in their middle twenties re
member when automobiles wero toys
and the moving picture was un ex
periment Just coming to commercial
use. And much of the difference be
tween the American of today and of
Monroe's day Is due to the physical
discoveries that a hundred jears have
developed.
"These physical discoveries have
changed men's creeds, revised men's
attitude to God and man, rebuilt their
Institutions, made them braver be
cnuse thev could afford courage, mnde
them kinder because they could afford j
kindness, and wlsr because knowl
edge of life was foiced upon them by
the clvlllzntlon In which they live."

FOB. SALE lo acre tract 1 mombers did not tako .place Tues- commercial training. It costs a llt

GOT TRADE SECRET CHEAP
Dying Drunkard Sold for Fifty Dollars
the Only Method of Making
Dolls' Eyes.
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.

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.
