WHAT ABOUT CONSUMERS?
-:1
A CURRENT disDatch. savs
American manufacttirera of I wash
fabric wearing; apparel hava developed
mw medium of cutting production coat
nd Incraaalnar srofita by atllizliur tha
1 Wheap natlva labor of Porto Rico. .
, The groods are cut and fashioned
' herv shipped to Porto Rico and re-
jturnld here aa the finished product
: -and sold to American consumers. .
' " - Does anyone'' note In that proceed
.' ing t anything-- that indicates that
' American consumers rare to profit
by the operation? roa anyone hear
jof any price cutting- as a result of
ithe i decreased coot of labor? Does
. anyone see anythlnf in that method
jthat Is to help the American worker
Or the -American consumer? ,
"f-When the manufacturer pats his
finished product on the market he
asks the same price for it as if it
Jiad been wholly manufactured in
' khe United States. There is a saving
n the cost'of labor. But that saving
the man uiactunjr retains as profit.
ffhere is no cut to the consumer. i
And what about the people who
would have the work if the entire
Operation of mannfactare were. com
Spleted in the United States? The
Worker Is expected to buy the goods.
He is expected to have some baying
tower. But he is refused the work
pecause the native of Porto Rico
Jwm do it cheaper. ,
J One of the reasons why there is
Strife, unhappiness and economic
distress in this country is that the
rnanuf aeturer all too frequently em
ploys foreign workers. He sets them
for almost nothing, keeps the added
profits by failing to reduce, the cost
o the - consumer, and thereby not
inly limits the buying power of con
sumers a a whole but remove the
buying power from ..the American
workers wno wouia ouy me product.
If the manufacturers - pay small
ages and obtain tremendous prices
for their products they wonld In
ilme. if such a thing were possible,
get 1 all the money In ..circulation.
Thet would pay out nothing and get
all the' money of ; the consumers
through' the high prices.. Then what
would happen' to the manufacturers?
They would hare no f purchasers.
There would be no buying .power.
4 - In a degree, the system works out
in the Porto Rican enterprise. By nls
refusal of work to American workers
and his high prices to consumers the
manufacturer Is decreasing the buy
ing power that is necessary if he is
to dispose of v his goods, r He will
make fewer sales at larger profit.
.But many will have to go without
his product, and when enough Amer
icans 'are -compelled to go without
the needed goods there will be trou
ble in the country, v
Russia's former .economic system

S1MASHING. THE ; MACHINES
HTHE smashing of the machines in direct primaries, as was done In Penn
- sylvania and Indiana, shows why there Is a movement to bring back,
the old convention system. ' ' , ' .:!

, Pinchot ia the choice of a majority of the Republican voters of Penn-i
sylvania. . He wouldn't have had a ghost of s show if, the: convention had
been the method of nominating in Pennsylvania. ' H is not. the JJndOf

wanted. Hs is a progressive whom, big business ort bigr finance or big
industry,' or all of them, combined, cannot control. : j ' 1 - " ; - '
:"! He eould have' knocked at the door of a convention, asking a nomina
tion for governor, until he was gray headed and never had a look-in. ; : .
" Whenever a citizen shows a disposition to do his own thinking, without
consulting the generalissimos of party he is niarked.il ; They want, docile
men. j They; want officials who can be bandied. .The great selfish interests
want officials who will stand hitched. They want public servants who will
stand in wiUi'the-gajna.'-vJ-V';- -J:;;.;' --Sxfi!
And there are others who want unrebellious officials, i- Administrations
don't want the people to break away from' the policies of the ruling regime.
Mr. Harding and his advisers did' not want New to go down to defeat In
Indiana. For him to be defeated would mean an expression of disaffection
with the work of congress and the executive.. So alj the power of the
leaders t .Washington, all the power of the state government, all the
power of, the party organization at Washington and all the power of tlie
state organization la Indiana was put behind New and against Beveridge. ;

- The convention is the foundation
place where control of the people by a
which the people are roped and tied.
And a chief reason why there is
of the convention Is that the politicians are afraid of tne women voters.
The women and the farmers of Indiana beat New. ; The women and the
country districts, of Pennsylvania smashed the Pennsylvania machine and
nominated . Pinchot.. And Pinchot, to the consternation of the old guard,
today looms as a presidential possibility in 1924. It Is !a most serious dis
arrangement of the plans and program of the old guard leadership. '
The wolves of politics hate the moral' ideas that women bring into
public life.- They nave no -use for the Independent thinking and higher
ideals of women. They see in this growing independence among voters
the possible end of the control which Invisible government has so long
and so effectively exercised upon the
America. , - , ".'-'w'fiij . ifr.- ' " jv'i Ej 5f-lH ' Siv-:liK

of his sentence were running an Ill-
matched race. ;? '
Looking back upon his life, its ex
citements,' its occasional victories of
wit and foiling officers, he turned to
a fellow prisoner and said: "
Jack, if I could have another lease
on life, all the money In the world could
not Induce me to give up one year of
that freedom you s$ out there. Did
you ever atop to figure what a lot
of fools we are, Jack what a price we
pay for the few dollars, and the cheap
excitement we set out of the game? I've
seen some of the bright lights and I've
had my hooks on considerable coin In
my day; but the money Is gone and life
is behind. I have paid for it au with
ten years, and more to do of - this, which
leaves no brighter prospect for the fu
ture than a few doddering years, then a
pine box and a hole either in the potter's
field or the state boneyard. .
There are girls who have learned
to laugh at admonitions and to say,
scornfully, "I can take care 'of my
self. There are boys who have
learned to sneer at the simple ten-i
eta of honesty and morality taught
at mother's knee. There are young
people who have closed their memo
ries ; to the' verse they, learned - at
Sunday school: the one .that warns.
"Be sure your sin will find you out.
These have gone on a course of
frivolity. They have sought to col
lect fortune in advance. But sooner
or later they moralize as did Old Joe.
Behind the bars, with life spent, he
could- say that frivolity without re
straint ia foolish. That fortune taken
by force or stealth, carries a. mort
gage upon the future sure to be fore
closed. Sooner or later, they could
say, as he would say, that pleasure
with a sting contains more pain than
sacrifice and service. . . '

The'! distancing by Hall of the
minor Republican candidates shows
that the contest developed, so far as
the Republican primaries . were j con
cerned intoj a struggle oyer the re-iiglo-racial
issue with Governor Ol
cott reflecting one view and Mr. Hall
the other. That Hall had the indorse

widely known, and it is apparent that
practically all of that strength went
to him as soon as Governor Olcott's
atuck on thje orgaJiisatifia was made.
Otherwise handicapped Hall .shows
by the heavy vote he bad polled that
the "Issues presented, by the organ
ization that , backed him have a very
strong following in the state."
j t The fact that Hall developed so
much strength :witli all leading Re

We have been impressed In a recent
re-reading of some of the: letters ? Paul
wrote, when he was busy preaching the
gospel and organizing and strengthening
groups of believers, with the strong com-
men-sense of the advice and exhortations
which he gave to men and women who
had come but lately to a knowledge
Of. God. ;.1-SV.- -'4 H - J !
' Paul Is usually regarded as the great
theologian and mystic of the early Chris
tian church. And he was both, i Bnt he
was also an - intensely v practical ' llttla
man.: Ee preached . profundities . which
men less profound have muddled and ob
scured, but he never failed to tie the
great truths closely to the business of
living. - All her had to say of God meant
less than nothing to : him if it i did " not
mean higher standards of behavior.? Re
ligion was a thing for the home, for busi
ness, for citizenship, and he insisted over
and over again that the most powerful
argument which could be made: ins sup

accepted them; -S) s t; - j I: ,f.-r f . i-
It is worth iwhile noting some of. the
Pauline admonitions, our Quotations wiu
be made from tMoffatt'a translation of
the New Testament, incidentally, some
may be interested to know . that this
masterly scholar is now in America. He
is well worth going a long way to near.
- As an example of Paul's common sense,
take this bit of advice to the Christians
in Thessalonica : i; A - i i
We beseech -you. brothers, endeavor
to live auietly,s attend to yoar .own busi
ness, and as ' we -! charged; you work
with your bands, so that your life may
be: correct in ' the' eyes of i the : outside
world, and self -suDDorting. , :. r
This urging to quiet, self-sustaining
industry was ; a frequent note . in nis
kindly exhortaUona .Writing' again, to
this group, he returns to the: same prac
tical advice, i We are - informed.1 ,be
says. ". "that some of your numberj are
loafing ; busybodies instead of busy. Now
in the Ixrd Jesus Christ we: charge and
exhort such persons to keep: quiet, to
do their work and earn their own living.'
Sis letters to Timothy are full of sage
counsel. Nothing could be more to the
Iolnt for a young man, hearing responsibility-
as a religious leader, than this :
"Let no. one slight you because you are a
youth, but set neuevers an example ox

teaching; stick to your vote; IT yon do
that, you will save your hearers 'as well

Timothy had: some, wealthy men in his
congregation, and Paul gives him ' this
message for Chens : "Charge : the rich of
this World not to be supercilious, and, not
to: fix their hopes on so uncertain a thing
as riches, but on the living iGod. ;
Tell them to be bountiful, open-handed
and generous In: order to secure, the: life

Paul Was a great believer in cheerful
living; Religion was a thing of Joys for
him. I "In all that you do avoid" grum
bling and disputing, he writes to the
group at Phllippl. "so as to be blameless

entitled. TJnks ;Of; the Oregon! Chain,'
May 7, based upon the organisation!:, of
the : provisional: government j at i Cham
poeg : in . 1S43, you 'make the! following
reference to one of the Canadian set
tlers who voted with the Americans :
"Is It any wonder that when Ktienne
Lucier, native of France.! doubted
whether he should support the recom
mendation of the (organization) - com
mittee he was rather rudely bustled to
his position in ; favor of . provisional
government?. - -: ' . , '. s
In the interest' of historical accuracy
it should be said that Lucier was not
hustled, ; rudely I or otherwise, i Into any
position at the: Champoeg meeting :on
May 2, 181 Lucier had come to Oregon
with the overland Astorlansi and . had
been here about : SO years prior to the
organisation of the provisional govern
ment. : Matthlen, the -last survivor Sof
those' who- voted1, In' favor of the pro
vistonal government, arrived in 182.
and met Lucier; soon after. Of Lucier
he said In hie reminiscences, ' published
in the Oregon Historical Quarterly of
March,, 1900: . . hiZ.:-'t'i- ij Uf '-,
"Among the subjects of conversation
with Lucier were the. laws and customs
of the United Statea The old Hudson
Bay: trapper was quite suspicious, and
had been -mid that our government Im
posed very heavy duties such as plac
ing e tax: upon i windows.. ) Matthieu.
however, was able to ten him that this
was entirely a : mistake. The laws of
the United States were Just and liberal,
and under them all men were equal;
there was no tyranny, Lucier, who was
a very saving and: industrious man, and
at the end of bis service with: the com
pany had to bis eredlt the respectable
sum of i00, was finally wen satisfied
with these, representationa' , 1 "
Of the actual division, after the vote
had been called for by Joe Meek, Mr.
Matthieu said: ihZ'x: rii'zM-'AZ, M.y j
"Now that a time for action: had come
he (Matthieu) was not wanting. I&m
said, therefore, to the Canadians that
he was going with the Americana Ho
knew what he was doing, and was fully
decided which was the right aide. Old
Lucier." the trapper of 1811,:; followed
him and now the vote stood 2 for and
SO against organization. ' Tba went tip

Lucier is clearty entitled to the Judg
ment f history that no compuifiion was
used and none necessary to whip him
into line at Champoeg. Matthieu told
me at the Champoeg celebration on May j
2, 1901, that his mind was made up

I was 15 years old then, and I have no

of the scenes and incidents of our trip.
One thing I-remember with a good -deal
of amusement was of our party being
held up by Pawnee Indians. Thsy wanted
pay j for our traveling through ; their
country and killing their buffalo.
Rather than have trouble. McMinn Dod
son,! my father and some others con
cluded they would give them some small
present, z The Indian chief, a wrinkled
old man, put down a beautifully tanned
buffalo robe and . told each family to
put something on the robein My father
had more cornmeal than anything else.
so he put a pint of j cornmeal on the
rope; Another man had more: salt, : so
he gave a couple of cups of salt, putting
it, of course, in a separate pile. Another
man. could spare a little sugar, another
a handful of pepper, and so on down the
line.! : When all the contributions had
been: placed on the buffalo robe the old
chief spoke to one of the Indians, who
took; the robe ' by the four; corners, so
that an the different: materials ran td
the center, -and they - went contentedly
away.j When they went to cook that
mess I have often wondered what they
could call it. ', There were, sugar, salt,
pepper,, flour; cornmeal, rice and coffee.
It suns would be a funny mess.

Coal operators r today are In much the

angry, " The majority of operators think
It is a small cloud ?wlth clear skies

the : industry : is vitally ' different, and
that man : can live without beer but
not without coal. But an ti-social selling
practices are no less resented, and the
position of the operators as an academy
of American-immortals is no! more se
cure than were the : habits and person
