The chief result of the late, elec .-- tion contest in the courts was to establish definitely and finally the . :: title of Mr. Olcott a the republican nominee for governor; the second ary result was to vindicate the In -'' tegrity of the Oregon election ma . chinery so far as the counting of ballots goes. A great number of charges of irregularity, error and wrongful conversion were made hundreds and hundreds of specifi " cations of miscounting and of Im proper returns; but it developed, after painstaking and impartial ju dicial investigation, that there were, . " in several hundred precincts, only an inconsiderable number of cler ical errors or mistakes of judgment ..." by the officials (with a single ex- '.. ception). Altogether they nearly balanced and the contestant, Mr. Hall, emerged from- the hearing : with somewhat fewer votes than he - - went in. It might have been other- - wise, if his contention that no elector had a right to change his registration on election day had not failed through the court's decision, which was substantially that a citi zen cannot be deprived of the privilege of determining for him self to what party he belongs and his action cannot be questioned un 'T less there is a convincing showing of bad faith. This could not be done. It should not be otherwise. The facts of the constant and uninterrupted invasion of the re publican primary by democrats in - " Oregon are not new. It has been a common performance for many J. years, and it has without question influenced many contests. The Oregonian has from the first de nounced it as a dishonest and de--- moralizing practice, hurtful to all parties alike, tending to lower party standards and to debauch the . " American political method. It has ; demanded that the primary be sur 2 rounded by safeguards so that the constant interference of one party with another b.- minimized, or pre Z'Tl vented, so far as possible; but nothing effective has been done. ' " The elector's conscience has been his sole..guide. Now the court says there is no remedy, unless there is -j positive proof of wrongful intent. Recognizing these things, as it 1- has recognized them for years, The Oregonian is yet ob.' ged to declare - that the official and legat result of - a primary is certainly th? recorded - will of the party. The primary is the authorized and accepted meth od of party nominations-. We are far from saying that tne:t- is any--. thing more than a general and very loose obligation upon the voters in a primary to support its nominees in a succeeding election; but any repudiation of the result cannot 7. fairly be placed upon a denial that " the result of the primary is what it is. But we should further say that there is reposed upon the can- - didates in a primary a special obli 2 gation of sound sportsmanship and of good faith to abide by the pri raary decision all of which is sup- ported by a specific pledge and it cannot be escaped except upon a - satisfactory showing of fraud or clear perversion of the true intent of the voters. Doubtless Mr. Hall thinks he was deprived of the"Vre publican gubernatorial nomination by democratic votes in a republican primary; but Mr. Hall also thought there was a vast amount of preju dicial activity among the election officers, to his detriment, depriving him of many votes; and there was not. It is the belief of The Ore gonian that, if all facts were dis closed, it would be found that there was no monopoly of re-registration or swearing in of unregistered votes, on election day, for any one candidate, but that I was done by the partisans of both leading gov ernorship candidates, and undoubt- ; edly in individual instances to ad- vance the fortunes of. lesser candi- - dates. To be specific, we aoubt if more democrats voted for Olcott than for Mr. Hall; and the balances there are even. In any event, Mr. Olcott is the republican nominee, having won in the manner provided by law, and . in substantially the same conditions as have surrounded every other pri mary contest In the history of the etate. Now here is the present situation: The next governor of Oregon will be Mr. Olcott or Mr. Pierce. The voters must decide between them. The Oregonian greatly prefers Mr. Olcott to Mr. Pierce, just as it would have preferred Mr. Hall to Mr. Pierce. It is not so much in fluenced by the fact that Mr. Olcott is the republican nominee it would be not at all influenced by that fact if'it thought Mr. Pierce would render better service to the state as it is by considerations of the Olcott record and the Pierce record. But in the choice offered between Mr. Olcott and Mr. Pierce, it has no hesitation in recommending Mr. Olcott, There can be no doubt, as Mr. Dodson of the chamber of com merce suggests, that western Ore gon has certain merits to commend it for motion picture production. Both east and west of the Cascade range is a diversity of scenery ap plicable to scenarios with typically western settings or of general American character, It is logical. to assume that these unquestioned resources will some day be discov ered by producers and that the public will be treated to new set I tings In Its screen dramas.

CAUTION' FIRST. What a singularly happy conclu sion It would be if,, at the end of the deer hunting season now open ing, we could record that sports men had not once targeted their rifles- on any save legitimate and antlered game. Continued sad ex perience has taught us that each recurring autumn we must expect painful mishaps and actual trag edies. An enforced study of cir cumstances has compelled the opinion that all. or nearly all, of these are the results of gross care lessness. If carelessness were elim inated the tally of hunting fatal! ties would instantly decline to the minimum. Chief Deputy Brown, in his time, ly warning to hunters, reiterates the simple rules that prevent the mar ring of a vacation and the taking of human life. The first of these for the deer hunter Is never to shoot until he has seen the horns. A stir in the thicket, though stealthy, is not always a deer. Fre quently it is a fellow sportsman, and by some tragic fiat of fate the shot fired at hazard often finds his heart. There are, of course, the ordinary precautions of being al ways careful with firearms, in camp and on the trail. Habit is the best aid in this respect. Seek to cultivate the habit of caution, of most meticulous caution, and you will be spared funeral expenses or the pain of testifying before the cdroner. And, as Warden Brown observes, it is well to remember that strong drink and gunpowder are a deadly combination. Field and forest are far too worthwhile to be marred by those deplorable accidents we have come to associate inevitably with the hunting season. The man who em braces such a vacation should enter it light-heartedly, of course, but yet with a thorough understanding of his responsibilities. If he lacks such an understanding he is unfit to have a license or to bear fire arms. For all his merriment he is a dreadful and ominous figure. tNWttUXG TO RUST. As many could mournfully tes tify there is such a physiological process as rusting. Both mind and I L. uu j , wiuiuui nui luai CACii-ioc, luce the fine burnish and efficiency of he standard and begin to retro gress. Aware of this, and applying its truth to the instance of Mrs. A. P. Crawford, who at the age of 71 has entered Columbia univer sity, it is seen that this elderly student is not merely pursuing a foible, but actually is following a wise and entirely logical project. There is nothing of the unconven tional about her decision, but mere ly the rightful exercise of a privi lege that has by long custom corre to be associated with youth, though it is the common property of all. It appears that Mrs. Crawford, ever a student by avocation, has to some extent lost her main employ ment with the maturing of her children and that she seeks a new purpose in life.. Twilight for her is not to be a place of pious resig nation and gloomy forebodings, but a zestful, well-lighted workshop, wherein she will employ her brain and, incidentally, prolong her use ful activities. Briefly, this estim able woman has declined to rust. Work is man's natural estate. By activity, within the bounds of pru dence, he thrives and becomes the stronger. The employment of either mind or muscle, unlesA protracted to the point of fatigue, strengthens the physical and mental attributes. Statesmen are not striplings, nor are they middle-aged commonly they are well advanced In years. At an age when many men of busi ness or agriculture retire they are still in the lists, and tilting with the vigor of youth and the sagacity of seasoned experience. And at an age when we begin to note the signs of mental decay in men who have retired, these more active mentali ties are more brilliant than ever. This argues that an occupational Influence is of prime importance in the preservation of life itself. There are exceptions, of course. A dolt may live to be a centenarian. But, generally speaking, the active mind survives longest in its tenement of clay. An interest in life is the main thing. Once that Is lost, or aban doned, or supplanted by a mere acquiescence in life, the flavor of existence has departed. The world needs more women .and men, of such an age as Mrs. Crawford's; who are unwilling to rust. A POOR EXCUSE. It is greatly to be hoped, for the serenity of our educational insti tutions and for the good name of the nation, that the iwo young men arrested for drug smuggling in the east, and who explained their of fense by saying that they sought funds for a college education, are no more than freak instances of bad ethics. 'If it is so difficult to attain learning that impecunious students . must resort to illegal means to obtain funds, then it were far better to dispense with higher education in such cases. Certainly it would appear that a more ex tensive knowledge would but burn ish the wits of some exceptionally gifted crooks. Fortunately no such situation exists. Members of the faculty of any university or college could, we have no "doubt, furnish the information that numerous rtudents are some how contriving to get an education without violating the law or aban doning the ethics such institutions seek to inculcate. It cannot be so especially difficult for the penniless young man or woman to equip themselves for college, as it'is evi dent that hundreds, doubtless thou sands, of them actually do each year. The first requisite is a sin cere and purposeful desire for self betterment and the second -an un ashamed willingness o tackle any honorable task, finding dignity even in. the menial employments, ' 'I That is not only sound democracy, but sound common sense. There are but two purposes to education. The one to fit the stu dent for the conquest of life, the other to give him the clearest of ethical viewpoints, that he may never by word or deed bring shame to his alma mater and that, by the same token, he shall himself be the better equipped for happi ness. It is very evident that any university which taught the prac tical and neglected the ethical would fall far short of its duty. There are not, however, any such educational delinquents. To the contrary all phases of college activ ity, including athletics, are, intended to strengthen the moral percep tions of the student and to make of him a better sportsman. There should be no sympathy, on the educational score, for the youthful culprits, detected in a most despieable commerce, who of fer that excuse to the authorities. Even though their necessity was real it does not In any measure condone the illegal act; firstly, be cause it should not and cannot, and, secondly, because there were honorable ways open to them. The suspicion arises that the plea they make is fundamentally insincere. and that they are types which yield to the lure of easy money and the escape of work. One cannot but conjecture what such worthies as these would do with a college edu cation, once they possessed it. It seems logical to predict that they would not employ it to the advan tage of society. PRESIDENT HARDING ON STRIKES. President Harding's address to congress on the" coal and railroad strikes displays full appreciation of the gravity of the situation that they have produced. He takes the only sound position in his propo sals for remedies that the rights of the public should be the first consideration, and can be main tained without impairing the rights of those persons who are engaged In the transportation and coal in dustries. Every good citizen shares his condemnation of the lawlessness and outright cruelty that "have marked the strikes, of the terrorism with which union leaders and their extreme followers have he.ld in line thousands of men who would have returned to work if they had dared, especially of the rank savagery dis played at Herrin. All who have a true comprehension of American liberty will endorse, his re-affirmation of every man's right to work unmolested by assault, insult or social ' ostracism. The president's recital of the progress of industrial strife and of his unavailing efforts at peaceful adjustment, and his recommenda tions for legislation are the more impressive because they come from an" abnormally moderate and emi nently just man whose patience has been exhausted. His chief fault has been that, in endeavoring to end the railroad strike, he has carried conciliation so far as to weaken his own position a fault also of the labor board. By undertaking to mediate between the railroad executives and the shopmen's unions and by encouraging them to negotiate directly, he obscured the fact that the labor board is a court of equity "whose decisions are not open to question and that, in re fusing te abide by the board's de cision, the strikers disobeyed the government. By seeking confer ence with the strike leaders after they had defied its authority, the labor board stepped from the firm ground that it occupied when it declared that, after ordering the strike, these leaders no longer represented employes and therefore had no standing before it. Both the president and the board thus gave color to the pretense of the strikers that they were striking against terms offered by the execu tives, not by the board. But these departures from a firm, logical policy have had their compensations. By the course which the strike has taken the gross misrepresentation of the ques tion at issue, the brutal assaults on men who exercise the right to work, the gradual extension to the train service, the abandonment of pas sengers in the desert and of perish able freight to destruction the truth has been brought home to the people that a railroad strike is so Injurious to the life and property and to the public order of the whole nation that it cannot be per mitted. Before this strike began we could only picture in our minds the consequences which such a dis turbance of transportation would bring, and such is our instinctive reluctance to limit the rights of large bodies of citizens that we shrank from prohibiting railroad strikes by law. We have now had actual experience of those conse quences, .constituting proof of the conflict between the people's right to live and the railroad men's claimed, right to strike. Congress should now be ready to take com pletely out of the hands of both the railroad executives and the employes the settlement of labor conditions, to give the labor board' power to enforce its decisions, as the president suggests, and to de clare railroad strikes unlawful. We may expect bitter opposition from the labor chiefs whose power would be diminished, and further conflict may follow the first effort to put such a law in effect, but the time seems to have come for establish ment of the principle, and we would better get through the strug gle than have to look forward to a series of strikes. The same rule of obedience to the board's deci sions should be applied to the ex ecutives as to the employes, for the former also have offended. The president's resolution to in voke the law against conspiracy in the case of all alike will receive the more general approval through its having been formed after so patient an endeavor to induce recognition of public rights. His whole course of action and his character are a guaranty against partiality in enforcing the law. We may be confident that it will be invoked equally against a body of employes combined to halt opera tion and against a combination of railroad managers to disrupt a union. That being the case, no excuse for stopping or impairing operation will remain. Only the gravest emergency could Justify government control of prices and movement of coal in interstate commerce, as proposed by Mr. Harding. The coal strike not yet being fully ended and the move ment of coal being obstructed by tie rajjrfiad. gtr&sa hjmgvNQfcot fitf ment threatening to reach its max imum at the precise season when crops are moving in the- largest volume, such control may be neces sary as a temporary expedient, but its temporary character should be emphasized by prompt return to normal methods as soon as the emergency passes. The recent ex perience of the war has taught us the ease with which government intervention in business extends and tends to become permanent, its cost and waste, and' its vain attempt to obstruct the working of economic law. The question may reasonably be asked: If the government should deal in coal, why not In oil, gaso line, even wood? Scarcity of coal raises its-price and stimulates de mand for other fuels, creating dan ger of profiteering in them also. Yet recent events in this and other countries have proved that the best corrective for stoppage of the sup ply anjd inflation of the price of coal is a ready and abundant sup ply of alternative fuels. Both oper ators and miners will come to their senses when they realize that their quarrels kill the market for their product by driving consumers to resort to oil and in the long run to waterpower. Next to wood, coal is the most uneconomical of fuels and, if the supply is to be frequently interrupted, the tendency to use it as raw material for a number of products rather than as a source of heat and power will grow stronger. . More merit is to be found in the president's proposal for an ex haustive inquiry into all the facts of the coal industry.. There is cer talnly something wrong . with an industry of which it can be said that its productive capacity is double the consumptive demand that it employs its workmen only half time and that, with a wage scale 30 per cent above the gen eral range of those in other indus tries, a large proportion of -these men earn a bare subsistence. . ' The operators and miners agreed at Cleveland to appoint a commission to inquire into these facts, but the matter too nearly concerns the pub lic welfare to be left to the parties directly interested. The inquiry should be undertaken by the gov ernment from the standpoint of the general interest, to the end that the people may be assured of a constant supply at a fair price, yielding a just profit but no more, and that enough miners to produce a full supply may be assured con stant employment at fair wages. The strike has proved the coal supply to be of almost equal neces sity with uninterrupted transporta tion, and congress would be justi fied in extending to this industry the principle that strikes are so great a public Injury that they can not be permitted. The discovery of customs officials that certain cigars contained opium is unusual but not extraordinary. We once dissected a cigar which contained the following, to-wit: Cabbage, pine slivers, portions of cotton, generous dosage of flour paste, and indications of rope fiber. At that it wasn't a bad smoke. An ex-county treasurer in Min nesota confessed to stealing $258, 000, was indicted, pleaded guilty and was on the .way to Stillwater at 7o'clock the same day to begin serving from one to ten years. It is fair to presume he did not have a dollar left for technicalities. The three men in a boat were quarreling about the course. One said north. One said south. One said west. While they wrangled a wind arose. It blew them eastward and they landed at the port of destination. California is in ecstacies over the discovery that the state has a real glacier. Now tourists can be promised home brew with a guar antee that it will be ice cold. A statistical expert 'figures that only 200,000 rattlesnakes are left in the United States, but he evi dently is going on the theory that prohibition prohibits. The "wets" have promised beer to the thirsty within two years. Public benefactors? Tes, in a way but the truth is that they expect to sell the beer. . , The price of one hundred marks has declined to 8.75 cents in New York. At that rate somebody will be urging congress to include them in the tariff. So far -Mr. Hearst's political feel ers have failed to disclose any great hankering by the American people to have Happy Hooligan in the cabinet. Anyhow, the marital infelicities of the movie folks are a wonderful aid to the struggling barrister, whatever the rest of us may think of 'em. ' Presume Henry Ford's candidacy for president is based on the suppo sition that the machinery of gov ernment requires a crank to start it. Some loganberry growers are be coming discouraged. So did some prune growers a quarter century ago. Now look at prunes! The most efficient speed-cop Is not employed by the state. His name is James W. Death, and he is always on the job. It is recorded that July food prices took an upward leap. The individual we are looking for is the fellow with the pin. A frequently broken resolution is like a broken arm. If you break, it often enough it will presently never be of service again. Field Marshal Halg has gone into the whisky business, which is rather giving his fellow country men a rum go. . May we confidently expect a reaction in milk prices when the fall rains inspire the pastures to green activity? Discovery of a seven-by-nine "glacier" in the San Bernardino mountains is going a bit strong even for California. No big cigar concern has as yet offered German marks as coupons. R.OAU WORK NOT BEING PESHED Completed Portion Stands - Traffic Well, Bat Construction Drags. NEWPORT, Or., Aug. 16. (To the Editor.) So much complaint has been made about the Newport-Cor-vallis highway that the highway committee appointed by the New port Community club, has made a tour of inspection andreported that the partly completed road between NewpSrt and Toledo has stood the heavy traffic well. Some" parts of this road have been, completed, but other parts have not . been com pleted. ' . ' The committee and the taxpayers of Lincoln county are not satisfied with the way the road "work is being carried on. There have been a few men working on the Newport Toledo end of the highway for some time, but at the present rate of con struction it is thought the work cannot be completed before 925. The same contractors that are doing the work have the contract to grade the highway between Toledo and Eddyville, a considerable part of which has not been touched. With the rainy season approaching, it is predicted by the committee that the work will not be finished earlier than July or August, 1923, although the people. of this county have been assured by the highway engineers that the work would be done in Au gust of this year. With four months of ideal weather Just past, the A. D. Kern company, contractors, have had a small bunch of men Jumping from cut to cut, where the yardage is the heaviest, and only a very small proportion of the grading has been completed, and some of the heaviest parts of the grading have not been touched. At the same time the' people have been led to believe that all the grade work would be completed and partly rocked, insuring traffic that it could get in and out of Lincoln county this winter. Those who are acquainted with conditions here blame the contractors for the delay, as they are familiar with the weather conditions and know that during winter is not the time to build roads here. The masses of the people blame the highway commission for allow ing the contractors to lie down on the job during good weather. Labor is plentiful and no excuse can be offered that. will satisfy the people of this county, that they are getting a .good deal on the way our roads have been and are being built. - After waiting 35 years to get the necessary appropriation they can not see the need of waiting four or five years to build 37- miles of. road when the money is ready to pay for it. LESTER MARTIN. PARK TRAIL' HARD TO CLIMB Writer Suggests Addition of a Few Steps and Some Gravel, PORTLAND. Aug. 14. (To the Editor.) Recently I went out to Macleay park, thinking ' the trail made by Adam Elm would make it easier to be reached. On going there :e could not find the trail, but on returning found It, and two of us in our party went out by the trail, which ends below the big bridge on Thurman street, where our machine was to meet us. We found in order to get to the ..op of the bridge that we had to ;-limb an almost perpendicular hill, and being weary by that time found it hard to climb. x The park is very beautiful, but the" few steps put in at the top of ;he bridge should be continued to the bottom of the hill or steps cut in the side of the hill "and graveled so that visitors could get in and out of the park easily, as it is a park many would enjoy going to much c-ftener on account of its natural beauty and seclusion, if it could be eached .easily . by - picnic parties, especially those going on the street cars. The new trail is wonderfully at tractive and a great deal of time. energy and money have been spent on it and it would be much easier to reach the park that way than by the old flume if the steps are put in as suggested. Mr. Elm.- who did this work for all to enjoy, deserves at least . the city's sincerest thanks for putting In that lovely trail. - OREGONIAN READER. MOUNT HOOD, THE CASCADE MONARCH.

Tale of Polka at the Hotels. Officials of the Philadelphia Sesquicentennial exposition are in tensely interested . In the develop ment of plans for th Portland fair in 1925, according to C. Henley Courtwright, prominent Philadel phia attorney, who is a visitor here. "Those who have met your Mayor Baker have expressed the greatest confidence in his ability," Mr. Courtwright declared, "and they feel sure that he will do much toward making your fair here a suc cess." Plans for the Philadelphia exposition ara going along more smoothly, now that a director-general has 'been selected. There has -been much discussion about a change of .name, many citizens hold ing that the word, "sesquicenten nial," meaning "150th anniversary," is too long. The site officially se lected for the exposition is within 15 minutes' walk of city hall in the center of town, and is admirably, suited for its purpose. Portland is coming to be recog nized in the Hawaiian islands as one of the .mportanx porva ui im mainland, G. McNicoll of Honolulu said yesterday. Trade between Portland and the' islands is growing steadily, and the outlook for the future is very bright. Honolulu, Incidentally, is due for a tremen dous boom as a vacation resort. Thousands of pleasure-seeking Americans are visiting the islanos annually now and these thousands will be swelled by other tnousanas in the future. The climate of the Islands and the unusual scenic beauty are the imaln attractions. The Hawaiian- National park, re cently established, scattered over a number of islands and1 including active volcanoes and beautifuj, lux uriant forests and 4 timber-clad mountains, is -becoming recognized as one of the wonder spots of the world. These are fine days for M. A. Rickard of Corvallis. Mr. Rickard Is the owner of a prosperous ga rage in the "heart of the valley" town. Tourist travel this year is smashing all previous records, Mr. Rickard said yesterday at the Ore gon hotel, where he registered fol lowing his arrival in Portland. Hundreds of automobiles are pass ing through Corvallis daily. The feature of the travel this year, he said, is the exceptionally large number of California tourists wh6 are escaping Xhe heat by passing their vacations in Oregon and other northern states. There are hun dreds of cars from the east, too, every state in the union being rep resented. Road conditions in the south are generally good, he said. Mr. and Mrs. William Hodes are among the best-known residents of Eugene. Mr. Hodes k owner of the largest steam laundry there and Mrs. Hodes is part owner of the Os burn hotel and is manager of its dining room. Mr. and Mrs. Hodes are Portland visitors, accompanied by Miss Grace Knopp, daughter of Mrs. Hodes. Miss Knopp is a grad uate of the University of Oregon and has Just returned from the Uni versity of California summer school. She will teach romance language at the Eugene high school this winter. The party will leave today for a short vacation at Seaside. "Senator Poindexter is a certain winner in the republican primaries in Washington." Millard Hartson, collector of customs of Washington, declared yesterday. Mr. Hartson, who is a Portland visitor, is well informed on the political affairs of the sister state to the north. He said that the district of eastern Washington will go strong for the present senator and that much of western Washington will support him. "Colonel Lamping and Mrs. Axtell will run about 50-50 on the rest of the vote," he predicted. "So far as I can see, it will be a sweep ing victory for Senator Poindexter." H.. C. Adler, publisher of" the Chattanooga Times, brother-in-law of Adolph Ochs, publisher of the New York Times, is a Portland visitor. He is registered at the Multnomah hotel with Mrs. Adler and Miss Nannie Ochs, sister of Mr. Ochs. While here he is visiting Jonah B. Wise, whose sister is the wife of Adolph Ochs. Mr. Adler will leave this morning for San Fran cisco, where his son, who is assist ant publisher of the" New York Times, will be married shortly. Portland hotels are being flooded with reservations for the triennial Episcopal general convention, which opens here September 6. Hundreds of prominent clergymen and lay men have written or telegraphed for reservations for the period from September 6 to September 23, and the local hotels are straining every effort to make arrangements to care for the visitors. Mail is al ready pouring in for the patrons. There are not a great many people who know that Louisiana Is situated in Missouri. J. J. O'Brien, desk clerk at the Portland hotel. who is generally credited with knowing just about everything. didn't know it himself until yester day, when C. G. Buffeen registered there. Buffeen explained that the Louisiana in question,' instead of being the Btate, is a city of some 5000 inhabitants. Harry L. Day and Jerome J.
