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, ..

Judge Gary says the unions are

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

a nonpartisan committee for ad

poets might start a fight.

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

way pf the chancery court, the
other by way of a coroner's jury

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.

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

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.

Irrigation Land Loans
Will Not Be Renewed
Because of an opinion of At

ing that under the law funds of
the irreducible school fund should
not be loaned on irrigation dis
trict lands that have been bonded,
loans on such lands will not be
renewed as soon as the period of
loan has expired. Some of the
iunds are loaned on lands of this
character. The state land board,
however, will not foreclose as a
method of withdrawing the, loans.

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.
