Shoe on the Other Foot The situation in the political eampaijrn at present shows that candidates recommended by the assembly are quietly waiting for endorsement or rejection at the primaries, while their opponents are skipping about the country oratorically lambasting them or each other. The so-called "Corrupt Ma chine" is working openly and above board in advocating and furthering its policies and in en dorsing candidates, while the anti-assembly and statement howlers are holding secret ses sions, forming combinations and spending big sums to secure the election of their men. 1 he as sembly is conducting a campaign devoid of mudslinging while their bellicose objectors have got out the muck rake and steam ham mer. They insist on having a scrap and failing to get it with the assemblyites they have com menced to dig into each other. In the meantime literature is diffuse. U'Ren has seen to that. The Selz fund supplies the dough. High sounding and empty argu ments are put before the people and the propaganda is complete. Last, but not least, the Bourne sack is open to the faithful and candidates who will embrace the statement machine are at liberty to help themselves, while a co terie of office holders is directing its movements in the dark and openly shouting to the people to support the pure and undefiled candidates of its choosing. In short, woe! woe! things have been reversed. The as sembly supporters have dispensed with the machine, the anti-as-semblyites have built one and the shoe is on the other foot. A Public Park The members of the Woman's Club are agitating the matter of a public park for Hood River and believe the time to get a site for this purpose is while ground that is available for it can still be had in a central location. The judg ment of the members of the club is undoubtedly correct. The time to get a public breathing spot for a city is when it is in its infancy and that time at Hood River is right now. In a few years a spot of green in the cen ter of town will add much to its appearance as well as affording a public outdoor resting place that will be appreciated. The park movement should rececive encouragement. We have not yet arrived at that stage where it is a question of a large sum of money to secure it and the city offers opportunities in this line that few places possess and, to repeat, now is the time to get it. Editorial Comment No man ever helped to build up his town by running it down, nor by invidious comparisons with other towns to the detri ment of his own. Many people expect to find happiness by living selfiishly to themselves. They are on the wrong track; not that way does happiness lie, but in helpful ser vice to others. Many people have the idea that it is only evil things that are contagious. That is a mis take. There is lots of splendid contagion about a sunny smile, a cherry word and a beautiful j character. Therefore if e.ilj companionship is bad, as it is. let us not forget the value and influence of good companionship. It is well meant, but nonethe less it is cruelty, to make life too easy for young people. If they are encouraged to believe that nothing but that which is pleas ant is to come their way, they will to a large extent be unfitted to wrestle with the hard thing3 of life. Failure to realize this truth has led some parents to work untold harm to their chil dren. And now it is stated that the government lottery in Cuba, which was expected to enrich the treasury and produce general prosperity, has resulted in the impoverishment of the people of that island. The result could not well be otherwise, for bet ting and gambling invariably does that and also works mischief in other ways, including the weakening of the moral fiber and a disinclination for honest work. "Scant and diaphanous" were the words used to describe the costume of a Russian countess at the barefoot dance given by her before Newport society. In other words, it was a dress which no modest woman would have worn, neither would a self respecting company of people have tolerated it. Yet there are people who envy Newport society and would do anything to get into it, which shows that there is no accounting for tastes. The fading flower and falling leaf of autumn are not a proof of failure but of accomplishment, and a promise of that which is to come. So men in the autumn of their life are not to think life henceforth is but of little use be cause they have given of their best and must make way for younger men. Their years have been spent in fruitful labor, thereby making possible the achievements of men who are to follow them. One of the best ways to keep young people from vicious or questionable pleasures and enter tainments is to give them some thing equally interesting, but free from objectionable features. Merely to say as to amusements and recreation, "Thou shalt not, " will work evil instead of good. Healthy young people with good, red blood coursing through their veins, and with lots of animal spirit, cannot be shut down upon without disastrous results. From the clash of discordant elements within political parties and between the parties them selves, will surely come progress along several lines. Anything is better than inaction or apathy, because when such a condition prevails unscrupulous bosses and selfish interests reap their har vest of ill-gotten power or wealth. Noise and tumult are not pleasant, but, like a thunder storm, they clear the atmos phere, and the political, social and economic atmosphere has been sadly in need of it for some time.
