A JUST AND AN HONEST VOTE Ye shall do no unrighteousness in iudement. in mete- 'yrd, in1 weight, or in measure. Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a jusut hin, shall ye have." v So reads the ancient statute of Moses, written in Leviti cus for the observance of the children of men. j So honesty is enjoined down the long ages. i The people of Oregon made a solemn covenant with the 34,500 men who joined the colors and went forth to offer their lives that a government of the people, by the people, for the people might live; that free governments might not per ish from the earth; that the world might be safe to the end of time for democracy. K The covenant on the part of the people of Oregon with these men made by word of mouth on ten thousand platforms,-and reiterated in written and printed form in a million ways, was that they should not lack for evidences of appreci ation and gratitude if they should return to Oregon, where the home fires were to be kept burning. These men performed their part of the covenant : 1000 of them sleep under the poppies of France; 1000 more suffered iwounds that handicap them; the rest suffered loss of time and opportunity. .. The performance of this covenant on the part of the peo ple 61 Oregon will be by an affirmative vote on June 7 in favor of the amendment that will entail a cost of a half mill tax for one year on the assessable property of Oregon for a cash bonus for some of them; and; the putting of the credit of the state behind the rest of them, in order that they may be able to borrow as much as $3000 each for the building of homes and the improvement of farms to be fully repaid un der an amortization plan. . The people of Oregon are asked merely to be honest; to be just; to perform in a small way a part of their covenant. And fet' no cost to themselves; yea, in the long run at a profit to themselves ; for the new taxable property thus created will yield a revenue to the state for all time r.; Sq that we will by voting favorably be merely respondV ing to the maxim that honesty is the best policy , v , -Though the occasion demands a higher level for the the movements of the springs of action; It is so high an obliga tion as to warrant its full performance if it involved a free gift of the total sum involved, instead of a mere loan of credit hi order to enable these men in a measure to redeem the time they lost in the service of their state, their country, and humanity, .. ment of fate on his sense of im perial greainets cine the other day when returned to a vir tual imprisonment from the bier j of the faithful com pan Ion of hin j irlory and his humiliation, for- bidtlen even to accompany the body to its tomb in the land lie j once ruled and in which he can not now even set foot.

With a different kind of unionism, one that would per ceive tbat capital and labor are co-operatois and are both inter ested in increasing production, he would, of course, as a sensible end practical man. be not only willing but glad to have close relations. New York Tribune. a clearing house for poetry It would be easier; but even that might furnish arguuM-nt. There ia such a difference of opiniou as to what really constitutes po etry. There is a large school willing to admit as poetry any thing which has neither rhyme i.or reason. Others who follow t.uch purists as liryant and Long tellow insist that real poetry must have both. Possibly it would be best to compromise on a home (or bards and let them tilt before a nonpartisan committee for ad mission. Even a hall of fame for poets might start a fight. One of the most convincing evidences of a general retutn to sanity is the big slump n the sale of ouija boards. Tno o.iMa craze is ebbing even to ore" mark edly than the craze for jazz nu sie.

Who has a sugges tion? Suggestions are strictly In order. The French runners who re cently competed In the athletic meet at Philadelphia were re ported as complaining over their inability to get the light French wines to which they were accus tomed as part of their training diet. Does Carpentler feel handi capped In the same way, or is he? ' There seem to be two accept able methods of obtaining a di vorce In this country. One Is by way pf the chancery court, the other by way of a coroner's jury or criminal court. The alterna tlve la. of course, not for hu. bands, but for wives. If the hus band Is sufficiently disagreeable or the wife sufficiently attractlre, divorce for the latter through aid of a gun and a sympathetic jury, seems the more certain and ex peditious. Chicago Tribune. The president has many callers and manages to see them all. Some have business with him. Some desire simply to pay their respects. Others have in purpose speaking words of approval of what he has done since assuming the duties of his office and wish ng him good luck for the fu ture. Politics is absent. In this com pany are Republicans. Democrats, socialists and men and women without party classification. All alike make pleasant reports as to their reception. It Is to be noted with gratifi cation that among the callers are many senators and representa- tves. both parties contributing. Sometimes Republicans and Dem ocrats call together and are re vived with equal cordiality. Connection thus between the White Ho ue and Capitol Hill wems to have been re-established. With the president visiting Capi- ol Hill when he has business here and legislators visiting the White House when they have busi ness there should make for such xgrreable relations between 'the two localities as will Inure to the benefit of tha country. Washington Star. IiOVK OR MOXKY. They are still arguing whether It la best to marry for love or money. The opinion largely pre vails that whichever is undertak en, at least one of the parties will wish it had been the other Idea. The man who marries for love will some day grieve that je did not wed money. The girl who gives her hand to money will arefer to give her heart to love. It is a fine thing to have a little of both. AMONG THK POETS The project for an American academy of poetry and song will not materialize without some friction. Neither wonld the in stitution' be maintained without more controversy. If it were Just Dr. Frank Crane has published a list of books suitable for girls of 15, doubtless with a view to protecting their morals and train ins them in the way they should go. And this engaging list in cludes Omar Khayyam's Iiubaiyat, with its "bottle of wine and thou" ethics and Macaulay's "Lays of Ancient Rome" along side of "Alice in Wonderland" and Andersen s "Fairy Tales." In the meantime library statis tics In America show that the girls are taking out the modern novels, while the boys are ad dicted to serious and technical reading, while in England it is the girls who are reading the serious, improving books and the boy s who have taken to the friv olous stuff. So perhaps Dr. Crane's list for girls accidentally got published for the boys in England. Omar Khayyam at 15 could be saddled with the responsibility for any thing, with its "gather-ye-roses- while ye may" theories. the Improvement of that strip of the highway. - S S Look out for the Pon?-Win-neoke comet next month.

By the time some of Salem's leading citizens get their glory there won't be any room left in the main hall and they'll have to hang out on the sleeping porch. WE SPEAK WELZj OF THE DEAD.

"GEI5-IT" BITS FOR BREAKFAST It was fair and cooler. The Statesman Is speaking thee days to practically all the fruit men of the Salem district Here Is a piece of advice from the Bits for Breakfast man: Pick all your berries; harvest all your crops; co-operate with the canners and shippers; take a chance; help bear the financial burden, if neces sary. There will be a demand for every pound of your fruit; though advance orders may not be had for It at this time. The fruit crops in the rest of the country are short. There will be need for all your fruit, arid it will all be bought, and you will finally get our money very cent of it. "An Oregon man spent $10,000 on a lady barber.
