The ML Scott Herald has not had
the space to spare or the inclina
tion to shy its hat in the political
ring to any extent in th« pres
ent campaign, no doubt observed by
its readers.
Our ambition is simply to pub
lish a good, clean community news
paper that will subserve the inter
ests of the ML Scott district, faith
fully furnishing the huppenings of
this locality each week, and assist
ing our utmost to better the condi
tion of its residents.
The publisher being a compara
tive stranger in the city, county
and state, has not the temerity to
attempt to advise older residents
what local candidates to vote for,
who are no doubt familiar with Üie
vices and virtues, sins of omission
and commission of those desiring
official preferment at this election.
The writer invariably chooses those
whom he believes the most compe
tent and capable, regardless of po
litical affiliations.
creed, clique,
clan or length and color of hirsute
adorn menL
Our preference' for the highest
office in the gift of the people of
this United States would be Sen
ator Harding for “reasons too nu
merous to mention.” Regardless of
who is selected next Tuesday, any
change from the present adminis
tration will be for the better, we
believe, although if Governor Cox
should be elected he would be a very
little better than a rubber stamp in
the hands of the present incumbent
—whose administration, most auto
cratic, has failed miserably to han
dle war or peace with efficiency.
poi . iik
A railroad claim agent’s house in
Seattle was badly damaged last
Monday by a bomb thrown, by an
unknown person, probably the work
of some one who failed to receive
even a pleasant look for damages
sustained by the criminal careless
ness of the company in transporta
tion of freight. While the Herald
does not approve of such overt acts,
a recent experience of the writer
with a railway company in moving
goods to this city would" make some
people anarchisticallv inclined. The
law admits of such delays perpetu
ated by claim agents and little 2x4
deputies that if goods are damaged
by breakage you might just about
as well let ’em go and forget it.
It is no wonder some people lose
all control of their better selves
under such circumstances.
In some sections of California the
Japanese -now have control by lease
and otherwise of 75 per cent of the
land under cultivation. In Oregon
they are becoming more a menance
every day.
In Seattle Japanese
are practically
the owners
of
many blocks
of
business and
resident buildings. It’s about time
for residents of the Pacific Coast to
reaize the situation. In Japan, a
foreinger cannot get a look-in for
lease or purchase of a foot of
ground.
Why should we tolerate
lease and ownership of lands by the
Japs in this country?
As it occurs regularly four times
a year, the Herald has five publica
tions
days
this month—a long
month for the publisher and prin
ter.
Every man in the world who
has ever amounted to anything has
at sometime in been the subject of
persecution and derision.

MINOR
NOTES.
A counterfeit $100 federal note is
in circulation. We haven’t been
stung as yet, and have no fear of
the future.
In the good old days gone bye,
a dry cellar was one of the main
inducements featured by one desir
ing to sell his house. A “wet” cel
lar would sell twice as fast these
days.
Husbands come high in Seettle.
A woman in that city recently was
compelled by the court to pay $6000
for aleaniating the affection of an
other woman’s huby. We'll wager
there are husbands in
Portland
that could be bought for a whole lot
less money than that.

WARNING
Holderg of U. S. Liberty 4 per
cent bonds of the second issue
should convert before November 15
and holders of the first issue 4 per
cent bonds should convert before
December 15, into 4*4 per cent
bonds of the respective issues, in
order to obtain the higher interest
rate during the next ensuing per
iod; and failure to exchange also
will result in loss of market value
in case of subsequent sale.
