White, Republican candidate for Governor. While it doesn't say so directly, the Capital Journal tries to give, the impression that Colonel White was a sort of ornamental soldier and rode a swivel chair instead of a charger during the war. No matter if he did r s His military record isnt fan issue in this campaign. Tax reduction, elimination of waste, inefficiency, etravagance and a few things like that are the issue. Ben Olcott has made a mess of things since he fell heir to the Governorship upon the death of Governor Withycombe. . ' The Capital Journal knows that-- - - And everyone; else that knows anything about Oregon and its present sad state of affairs in state government knows it.- Naturally the Olcott supporters want to keep away from the real issues and resort to pettifogging. " (i But since the question of service has been forced in, let us examine the facts: . . , . . i We find from an examination of cold records that George A. White was never a military man ; that as a citizen he has volunteered three .times. s I The first time was in 1898 when he left high school as a boy to' serve as a private, of field artillery. The next time was in 1916 when he volunteered in the Mexican border crisis, leaving a soft-chair executive position as a state . official to command a troop of cavalry for nine hard months of border patrol.- -1 ; The third time was in 1917 when in the World War he once more forsook the soft-chair atmosphere of officialdom, got an assignment in the Forty-first Infantry Division and went to France. with the, first expedition over. There he served in two major battles, the Second Marne and the Argonne. J , Does any of this smack of the swivel chair? rSo much for, that! Now just what is the service record of the Capital Journal's candidate? Did he offer his abilities as a skilled aviator i to his country in the darkest hour America has ever known? Or did he fight the war by running for election against Oregon's old war Governor and getting overwhelmingly beaten for his pains ? "This world of ours is a sad place," weeps a Chicago pessi mist. Well, as Bairnsfatter's "Old Kill" said: "If yon know ol a better ole. go to It" The latest fad from Paris is "the incrustation of jewels in the forehead." The best ornaments for American foreheads will al ways be honest pearls of perspiration. The state superintendent of Pennsylrania says the boys and girls of today are better than those of yesterday. He is right; thongh he could start an argu ment on the point in any com munity in the whole country. President Harding has decided definitely to stay out of the com ing bitter senatorial campaigns. He will not even speak in Ohio, where Senator Pomerene, Demo crat, wM make a contest for an other term. ile will mate no campaign speeches. ' t IADY ASTOR'S STREET Thomas IL Tongue, -Jr.,' Republican State Chairman, is right, in speaking of the candidacy of Ralph E. Williams for National Committeeman; referring to the position of Mr. Williams as vice chairman of that committee, when he says: "It is one of influence secured only by painstaking labor and years of service. Itmeans much to the state, and it would be; a serious mistake ,at this time for the Republican voters of Oregon to defeat Mr. Williams and elect a new man who would be at the foot of the committee instead of its vice chairman." This is an honor never before conferred on a Western man. There is another reason why the Republicans I town, at that. And it is a lady up this way. are going to vote for Ralph Williams. . He is a j of the aristocracy who is honored rolk county boy. He is one of our kind of folks. I That gives it another touch. The Will the next presidential cam paign be fought by wireless? Voters, millions of them, most likely will hear the message sent out by the candidates by wireless. foA receiving sets will be found in homes and meeting places throughout the United States. The field of the radio promises to be limitless. California stands second among the states of the Union In the cumber of home-lighting custom ers, according to electric- light authorities. Illinois Is first with 858.000, and California is next with 752,000. New York has 686,- 000 and Pennsylrania 543,000. Oregon should some day stand first when all her water powers are fully developed. There are 100,000 colonies of bees in Oregon managed by about 10,000 bee keepers, and produc ing for the market about sixty carloads of honey annually. This Is ' according to recent United States census department reports. Pee keeping isa growing industry in this stale. There is marked growth in the Salem district. But it is not half, fast enough. There should be a great many more than 100,000 stands of bees in the Sa lem districa alone, for the good of the fruit industry.-- There should be enough to fully assure pollenization of all the fruit blos soms. uno would naraiy expect an Illinois city to name one of its boulevards after a member of the liritish nobility, but it has been done. Another odd thing is that it is Uncle Joe Cannon's home fact remains that on the day tbat Lady Nancy Astor arrived. . ion these shores the Danville i'unl clpal council gave her name' to one of the city's prominent thor oughfares. Come to think of it, though, the name of Astor was brought to New York frdm Ger many as far back as 1780 and the present Lady Astor is herself from the old Langhorne family of Virginia. It is the English house of commons and not the Danville ccuncil tbat has been revolution ary. For Nancy Astor was a wo man, an American and the wife of an English lord when she en tered the commons. Anyone of these conditions would have been a barrier in any other day. That is, if the six children she has would not have been a complete knock-out to start with. But Lady Astor is thoroughly democratic, and from slums to the throne the people like her. She has accustomed herself to Eng lish election campaigns and is not to be easily embarrassed. She has a wit that may at times punc ture the British cuticle or, the American assurance, but it car ries no venom. Her sportsman ship Is 100 per cent fine. She ac cepts her own status with frank philosophy. She speaks naively of her downfall from the home to the house. She admits that in entering the commons she ceased to be a person and became a per sonage or rather a symbol. She came tacit to America to attend the Pan-American confer ence of women, which assembled in Baltimore, and-where the vot ing women of the world waved their handkerchiefs at one an other. She was one of the most interesting and popnlar of the delegates. She doesn't want the women to flock and vote by them selves? She says that teamwork Is what counts. She says that she can conciere of nothing worse than, a man-governed world save a woman-soverned one, bnt a combination of the two could make a civilization worthy of the came a civilization based upon humanity and not on force. She adds: "I feel that men have1 a greater sense of justice and the women of mercy. T&ey must bor row our mercy and we must use their justice?" Lady Nancy Astor Is decidedly a frank, sensible and interesting person and at this time is per haps one of the three or four most conspicuous of her sex in the woild. She wears her limelight gracefully. PLEASANT VALLEY FUTURE DATES Pleasant Valley is the name of a rural community in Kingfisher county, Oklahoma. More than that, it is a description of the community. It is said, and the paying is attested by many resi dents of the valley, that during the 33 years that have elapsed since the settlement of Pleasant Valley, there has been no neigh borhood quarrel, no trial, no scandal and no unpleasant re lations among the folk who make up the population of the com munity. Here indeed is an Acadi an people. "Neither locks have they to their doors nor bars to their windows, but their houses are open as day and the hearts of their owners." . Do the people of Pleasant Val ley realize what a wholesome, happy life is theirs? We wonder. Wichita Eagle. elusion of the Genoa conference. Naturally it will depend some what upon the final result of this council of the powers. If It will ease off some of the problems of England he may find It opportune to resign. The Lord knows he needs and is entitled to a rest. He has stood the strain of the most eventful years in the history of nations and it is not difficult to assert that he has been the most valuable man in the world. If h,e does retire, circumstances will doubtless call him back again. It the British empire is ever in straits the man she will most rely upon will be Lloyd George. He is greater than king, prince or potentate. He was born to something beyond the purple. M 1. Monday W. W. Elliwortb. notl editor and literary Kan, to addreaa Willamette, atndenta. Mar, 3.

At midnight Dad and Mother came in, and, as parents will, made straight for the kitchen. As they opened the door, out of the darkness came a Quavering voice. "Don't come in, the floor is painted." Father struck a light, and there, to his astonishment, they saw Peg, huddled up in the one unpainted corner. ,, "For heaven's sake, why don't you come out?" "I can't without making tracks, and Jack bet I would make 'em and'I bet I wouldn't." Father said nothing. He put several large, determined foot prints on that floor, and reaching his daughter, took her up In his arms and carried her to bed. Hut afterwards vibeV went back and painted out "the-spots."
