Frankiin K.l-ane. i A NEW DAY ? U SMITH BBTOOKHART was nominated- for, the senafe in-Iowa after -a strenuous effort of the Old Guard to' defeat him. This is the platform,: as stated by him In the JTew York World, on which he was . nominated under almost impossible circumstances: ? First Repeal the Transportation act; pro-aide by legislative enactment that railroad values shall not exceed t-fae market values of the securities. thus numntnk out $7,000,000,000 of water: stop the capitalizing of un earned increment, which amounts -to bout $300,000,000 a year ; stop graft in furnishing of railroad supplies by euo- Ba diary companies; define the reason able er adequate return so it -will not exceed the interest rate on the bonded portion of the capital and the agricul tural rate on the balance. . v Mr. Brookhart then proposes that - railroads get only what they earn proposes that high. finance be re t moved.; as an element in railroad capitalization; proposes -that the roads get an adequate return, but opposes a return based on thin air and which is paid, - by every con - eumer In the country. That Is what the people of the country want and what the people of Iowa voted for y. - Mr. Brookhart continues: . " Second The arbitrary restriction of agricultural credit in 1920 by the Fed eral Reserve bank was a credit; Or money, strike that did the farmers more . damage than all the industrial strikes In the history of the country.' Farm ' products were deflated nearly $8,000. 000.000, and more than $500,000,000 in Iowa alone. The whole credit system, including the Federal Reserve bank, .is built upon the foundation of deposits. The depositors are entitled te control it. Tbe farmers furnish 40 per cent of ' alt primary deposits, the laboring peo ple 2a per cent.' They are entitled to-a like proportion of the Federal : Reserve : board... . -"; - ; : !: In other words,. Mr." Brookhart ' believes that the producers of the "country's goods and the depositors In the banks are' entitled to certain ' rights as a result of their deposits - and certain 'credit as' producers; that ' it should not be within the ifower of sj few men to use the money power Of the country as . against those men who produce the . wealth- and who put the money into the banks. - That is another plank that the people of the country will heartily approve, and another rea son " why , Mr. Brookhart ' received the senate nomination, Mr: Brook hart said : ' '--- r??f CV 'Third The " cooperative program ".Jot both the farmers and the laboring peo ple. - including cooperative t control,; of production credit and marketing. . it. Mr. Brookhart,-then, believes the' farmers and the other people. who orkare entitled, to, a reasonable lirofit on whathey : produce;: that the only way they can get it is by eooperatlve actibn. and that they should protect themselves by band og together in order to present a Tin If led front to those who now deal with them as units, but who have. in Ihe past, obtained the lion's share of. the profits on the goods the - porkers : and farmers - have made available: .That is another change rhe,teople of Iowa voted for and another change the people of .. the country will approve. FouU -An- adequate, soldiers 'bonus t be paid by a tax on war profits and xcsa profits. Oppose .the sales tax. .. Again Mr,-Brookhart throws his 1 strength to the'masses, or that part o the -public that has been so fre Cxiently forgotten" ia-. legislation; fliat part of tbe public that has not yet fully utilised the strength that s latent in their votes. "Mr. Brook, hart stands -for payniient of the country just debt to the soldier f' and : he ' believes the people who made excels v profits in -war and peace time are the people to pay if. rather ' than the ' masses, through the sales tax That is another thing that Iowa voted for and. -another stand that the country at large will approve,-. ." ' '- As a fifth formula Mr. Brookhart declared that women and children should have their economic rights, and said: i : ' t demanded the protection of mother hood and children by giving them their economic rights. " ' - - - Sixths The Xewberrr jcase should be reopened, as was the lxrimer .case, and the senate purged of this corruption- . Mr. Brookhart is opposed to pur chase of high office,' lie believes that- principle and Justice, rather than a bulging pocketbook, should be the qualifications for election to office. - t ,'.- The - lowa -ihominee : had other platform planks. They correspond ed with' the above formulas, for the reason that they were arrived at from the same viewpoint. Mr. Brookhart is a man who sin cerely believes In the, principles of government laid down by Abraham liincoln, v a 'government of,- by and FOR the people. There has been a lot of government f since Mr.. Lin coln's day thafc haa not. conformed ti his doctrine, ' But if the people of the .country will vote as Iowa voted, if they will pick candidates of the viewpoint of; Mr Brookhart, elect them and compel" them to re spect their promises after electtion, there will be more of the Lincoln brand of government, and less of the toll of Big Business on. the homes of the United States. ; , . Quinault Indians?; will net about $150,000 from blueback almon fishing in streams of their reserva tion this year.. They sent Henry Ford a box of fish as a present, possibly because with their new prosperity most of them drive more expensive cars. ALL'S WELL npHE vote in Saturday's school -a- election in Portland was: For bond issue 12,838, against 4160. For tax levy 12.692, against 4302. For Pickering 11,926. for Newill 7902. The total number of votes cast was 19,828. ' This result was needed. ;The school situation in Portland was not creditable. .Portland seven years behind in building program was a stigma. " r ' The people have done their duty It is now for - the board to do its duty. It can accept the verdict as a vote of confidence. There are members of the board who will so accept it and, by efficient and con scientious service, ; endeavor - to prove themselves worthy of the faith expressed and the responsi bility imposed in the election ;re turns, ' ' " ' ( " The work of Americanization can now go forward. It;ls the free ed ucational system that is the chief agent in that activity. By associa tion with American school pupils the younger generation of the foreign-born absorb American ideals, and by that, and through school in struction, they learn the American language. In the Portland free night schools alien adults have the same opportunity to Americanize. That Is one, advantage of the re turns in Saturday's election. Im portant as it is; there are other ad vantages of equal significance. The outcome should give all the people reason to feel that all's well in Portland. .

ON TODAY rrHE annual Rose Festival is on today in Portland. . It' is a mellowing influehce in the life of the city. The effect of such fetes is to soften the hard grind of the -daily ; routine and to turn thoughts to the lighter and livelier things of life: ' . If we live too much in the. fret and fumeof ; getting- on in the world, viewpoint becomes caw- hardened and hopes are centered on false idols. Money-grubbing ex clusively is not a wholesome ideal to which to dedicate all the striv ings A of " ' existence. It is; good neither for a man jior f orjt nation. There must be gentler moods and forget fulness of usual 'responsibili ties on occasions when the whole community may ; come : together In the spirit of gladness and festivity. or the hardening process of grind and struggle will gain complete control, to the sorrow and detri ment; of all. . " ; It was ' the athletic - fetes of ancient Greece 'that '' helped fuse the Greek peoples into solidar ity, and , enabled ' them to throw back the Persians and save .West ern civilization from overthrow, Nations , cannot exist j under all strain and no relaxation. -- : Human contact is a great civil- ixer. The exchange' of visits, of community with .'community, city with .city and country ; with coun try : is t means of progress and amity. They clear up misunder standings and facilitate understand ings. Association is the basis of good will and - forwards the spirit of get-together. 'It- Is a good in fluence to 'have even temporary sway, when so many communities are divided and distracted by the spirit of hate and fury., The Rose Festival is a sound en , terprise in all its bearings. The week is the occasion for- neighborly feeling, hospitality and good cheer. Let Joy be sconf ined. """ A THRILLER SENATOR LODGE recently de - livered - an address ' on - "The President. And here is one 'pas sage: - v , . ' He has another very Sret otiallty, it seems to me.. - He always : Uunks of hie country Tirst.- To that, everything else is subordinate. That a man in Mgh office should think of his country Erst, not vf his party, , never of him self, in the crowding labors of the chief executive," may seem t yeu -a i matter of course, ; I wish it were,but, believe roe, it is not universal, and for a presi dent .; or- any : other public : officer of grave responsiMHty to think always first of the public good, without, any admixture of the selfish purpose - is a raatly great quality. :.', - . - . -; ", Indeed it is a great quality. It is men with that quality that the peo ple of this country want In public office.. But the astonishing thing, about that passage is its source. . At first blush, one is inclined to wonder what right the Massachu setts senator has to speak.-on that subject at ail. On second thought, however,,: above all people, '..he should be fully informed, because if ever, there was a man in .the United States senate -who liad less; of that quality than Senator Lodge he was there so long ago vthat his course has been f forgotten in I the movement of years.", '' In this gen eration, ' no wan ' baa ' jumped the fence on public questions so many times, depending - on the - way ; the political wind was blowing, as the gentleman who,o glibly praises the chief executive for his constancy, to the welfare of his country. . ? But, it is true that, men fre quently admire characteristics in other men that in themselves are so completely lacking. -' The mountain hasn't yet, come to Mahomet, but during jthe Rose Festival the flagship will come to the admiral. During the war Ad miral Mayo, now retired and rest dent of Portland, commanded the Atlantic fleet. The Connecticut was his flagship, and the Connect! cut is one of the vessels sent by the navy department . to grace the festival:' Incidentally, . she is the largest war Vessel sent to this port The time will come when no hesi tancy will be felt in sending the greatest vessels, , either of war or commerce, to the Port of Portland. YESTERDAY'S TRAGEDY THERE was no excuse for the Yamhill street fire tragedy .yes terday. Carelessness was the cause. The life of a fire fighter : snuffed out is the effect. t. ' There are governments on earth which hold people responsible for the results of : their carelessness with fire. They are made to pay the costs of the' damage done by carelessness. Or, if financially un able to do scy theyv are .sent to the penitentiary. They are even made to pay, the expense of bringing out the fire department. The fire loss in such countries Is only a small fraction of ; the. proportionate loss in America. ' . t . , - -i - -,, : . Two or three years ago, Portland made wonderful records In; the low totals of her fire losses'. There was then a very active, and very, alert work m inspecting; premises and removing fire hazards -; Present prevention work ' Is not getting the results that former pre-i venuon enaeavors , yieiuea.

LEARNING ABOUT OREGON BUT five of the inertibers of, the - Circumnavhratora 1club. wbicb Frank ' : Branch, . Rllejf--addressed while he waa in- New York, had ever '.been; north of - San Francisco. Most of .them knew. 'more about th e ; . Mediterranean. T than Riley knew jabdut - Puget Sound. Many were payteigr large sums for passage to Europe. Some of them did not expect to return until September or October. Few had 'Oregon and i-the Northwest in mind as a region of features - attractive ; to recrea tional travel. i s - "Yet this club Is composed only of persons who have been around the world. Its membership is made up exclusively of those ; Who love travel and have seen the far parts of earth. ; If people who are predisposed tourists know so little bfthe; Oregon country is it to be wondered that others manifest ig norance? ,; But fortunately, through the work of Mr. Riley thousands are beginning to know about Ore gon and will come' to know more. DOES THE PUBLIC WANT IT? TT IS often said that, movie audi ences want cleaner pictures. ' They .ought - to, but do ' they? One of the purest j and sweetest films ever exhibited in" PortlandL'is now being shown at the Rivoli to almost empty seats. It is all. that good people could aski f or. But the management is seriously wondering if the picture will 'not have to be taken off before Its, time limit is reached, for lack of 'patronage. The public taste cannot be deter mined by a single production. A final judgment on whatthat taste is cannot be based eyen on several plays." . - ." But after all, if the good pictures drew t ice biggest audiences, does anybody doubt that the manager would see to it that ; the best plays would be exhibited ? , naromg to wug, on 10 jjaugii, ertv.

I discovered another thing that the surest way to have a good boy is to see that his, dad is clean and square; for while a boy will love his mother, he follows hla dad. Many father Is so busy making money that he hasn't time to be mf chum to his boy. when by doing . so -.he could gain his boy's affection and save a soul auve After spending three years in - the reformation- of boys and in working to save bad boys,- I decided It is more profitable to keep a boy right than to make him right again after he has gone wrong. A. boy is full , or ideals ; he has not lost hla illusions. , You spend millions ' of . dollars In the -movies, in which they, suggest to , the developing intellect of the boy the attraction of crime and revenge. - Films could -be made, and should be made,? a great educational factor, but .they cannot.be made so as long as those who control the movies are men of low ideals, whose only thought is to depict the low and sordid. ' " . "The program that we Christian peo ple put up for the boy-does not even make him stop and take notice We shall never do much with the boy until we put on a 'Do' . program rather than a Don t program. "Do you suppose I organized the Whitney- boys' chorus simply- for the pleasure of developing' good singers? One time a boy said to me." 'Gee, Mr. Whitney. Tm glad I joined the Whitney beya" chorus, because it gives me some thing to think about when I'm not think ing.' That boy expressed a profound truth without knowing it. - It is when a boy haa nothing to think about that the evil -forces have their , Innings. Hikes,--athletic acts, all are. good, but I've tried them all out and they ah fall shortiof keeping the boy interested. I finally discovered that through, music I could reach more boys that by any other method v 80 there you have the reason why I organized the Whitney boys chorus. . 7 ; ; -" . Last summer I took 50 boys with me on a trip through California. -With one exception, fnot a boy in the whole bunch. . had- every prayed in public. By the time ' we reached Los Angeles. I could call on' any one of more than ax score ; of my boya - to offer, public prayer : and their prayers were so direct and so sincere that it made tbe Ordinary prayer we hear in the church sound artificial and insincere. We have chapel exercises every ' morning on these trips. I let the boys sing their heads off, and then we have a few minutes of prayer. I tell the Jboys something like this : Boys, you must remember that you have advantages that -other boys do not possess.
