TELEPHONES: There must be a cabinet form of state government, mjronich every act and detail can be traced to its some. ' Th4 Jtmck passing system that is now in vogue is de. trop; aosgespielt; 4)ut of date. It cannot be made to work with ef ficiency; and economy. With the best of intentions on the . part , jf all office holders, it is inefficient; too expensive. The pfople want to know, all the time who is responsible for every act ot their servants; who is who and-what is what. They can set this kind of fixed and definite responsibility by lining up behind the candidacy of George A. White for Governor, for he is committed to this program. And he is the kind of a man who will stick to the program and work it out. ' That will be his job; and he is used to finishing what he starts.

Auxa vjcuerai fcxiK, . Liie Viirisbuui Kuieraj, la a must , remarkable man, and a great deal of notice has been taken of his life and work by the religious pressf of the United States Born in obscurity, possessed when a young man of a. violent temper and a murderous disposition trained as a common soldier, and thus an outcast and pariah in -that country, Feng was some years ago converted to the Christian religion And-since that time he has become a great relieious teach er and leader of his people; a truly changed man and worthy to be classed with the great religious zealots of history. He has himself converted most of the officers of his army of 10,000 to 15,000 men, and with their help and the aid of the Christian missionaries, most of his common soldiers. Feng's army is the first Chinese army in history that has not been made up mostly of the lowest outcasts and cutthroats and riffraff; the first army that ever operated in that country that has not been 'followed by a horde -of loose women; the first army ever operating on Chinese soil that Was not the terror of the districts where operating, on account of all sorts of lawless acts. On the contrary the army of General Feng has been welcomed , wherever, it - has been stationed, as it has given order and stability and decency to the civilian populations;' r.vr .... .; The annals of military history contain no more unique figure than General Feng. He is over sit "feet, tall and is a specimen of fine physical manhood. In the years'since his life has been changed to the ideals of Christianity and high er civilization,' he has become a great student; a tremendous worker, and a great power for good wherever his influence is felt and it is very wide.

THAT! aft General Feng, leading such an army as the one he has built up, cannot fail to have a tremendous effect upon the people of that country. ' ' " i f ' If China could be ruled for a period of years by such men as General Feng, that country would be transformed to a modern tind progressive republic; the greatest republic in . point. of population in the world. ; '' The people of Oregon are fed up on political promises and j platitudes. They want performance; presently; p. d. q.; now; while" they are alive and kicking. Not inrthe sweet subse nuentfy, Not after we are all old and gray, or dead and gone. There must be a reform of the system; all down the line. If yon 'cannot make this prim ary campaign a clean one, please make it as clean as possible. There is an election ahead, in November. . General Wn, whose forces were victorious in the Chinese rebel lion, belongs to one of the great est and most ancient of the great and ancient families of that coun try.

In the course of the tariff de bate In congress a great deal is being said by the Democrats, free traders, internationalists . and others about what America "owes to the world." and how incumb ent it is upon the United States to help rebuild Europe, with the conclusion always drawn that in order to rebuild Europe it Is es sential we do not1 enact any pro tectire tariff worthy of the name, thus enabling Europe' to flood this country with her cheap prod ucts and obtain control of the. American markets for her own enrichment. It is evident at this early stage of. the tariff debates that those adrancing this argument are not going to stop short of gross mis representatidn of the attitude of the . Republican administration and even of the president. Al ready Isolated sentences from' of ficial messages of the president and from addresses made by him are Jbeing .' quoted by the free traders ta,an.'ieff6rti poison the public mind against the enact ment of protective schedules. It is therefore well that what Pres ident Harding really has said of ficially upon the subject of pro tective tariff and. upon the rela tive importance of building up Europe or building up America should be set down His two of ficial utterances upon the prin ciple and policy of protective tariff are to be found in his mes sages to congress. In the message he delivered at the opening of its special session April 12. .1921, the president said: "I beliere in the protection ot American industry and IT IS OUR PURPOSE TO PROSPER AMER ICA FIRST. THE PRIVILEGES OF THE AMERICAN MARKET TO THE FOREIGN PRODUCER ARE OFFERED TOO CHEAPLY TODAY, and the effect on much of our own productivity Is the destruction ot our self-reliance, which is the foundation of the independence and good fortune of our people. Moreover, imports should pay their fair share of our cost of government. "ONE WHO VALUES AMERI CAN PROSPERITY and MAIN TAINED AMERICAN STAND ARDS OF WAGE AND LIVING CAN HAVE NO SYMPATHY WITH THE PROPOSAL THAT EASY ENTRY AND THE FLOOD OF IMPORTS. WILL CHEAPEN OUR COSTS OF LIVING. IT IS MORE LIKELY TO DESTROY OUR CAPACITY TO BUY. "The maturer revision ot'onr tariff laws shoull be based on the policy of protection, resist ing that selfishness which turns to greed, but ever concerned with that productivity at home which is the source of all abiding good fortune. It is agreed that we cannot sell unless we buy. BUT ABILITY TO SELL IS BASED UPON HOME DEVELOPMENT AND THE FOSTERING OF HOME MARKETS. There Is lit tle sentiment in the trade cf the world. TradQ ; can and ought to be honorable, ; but it knows no sympathy. While the deitfc&tes of the nation at war were de bating peace term at Pans, and while we later debated oar part In completing peace, th9 com mercial agents ot other nations were opening their lines and es tablishing their outposU with a forward look to the morrow's trade. It was wholly proper and has been advantageous to them. "Tardy as we are. IT WILL BE SAFER TO HOLD OUR MAR KETS . SECURE AND BUILD THEREON FOR OUR WITH THE WORLD." ITCH FOR PICTVRES' It Is declared that Russia is es pecially anxious to obtain Ameri can fUms and encourage capital in the creation of movie theaters.

Just sketch the bodies of them first, for the legs are to be attached afterwards o that they can stand and do all aorta ot tricks. The feet mast al- o be made separately, so that whatever position the legs are in the feet can be level. Tails cannot be made very well of cardboard, so glue some, heavy ring on tor tails. For the Lionkey you can use. a "piece of wire. This may be curved so that the animal can hang by it. . In making the, different an t- maiVderlde Just where the JoInU pre to be located.?

Bennie," said mother gaily as she put the big jug Into his hand, pat ted his head and closed the kit chen door. From within came Dad's voice. "Don't put notions into his head, dear. There is nothing to be afraid of." Bennie wasn't so sure. It was dark. The path was narrow. It ran through the woods and It was a good halt mUe down to grand father's farm. Of course he knew every foot of the woods by day light, and he wasn't really seared, but still - As he struck the down hill he broke Into a run. Suddenly ne was aware of a sound iba seem ed to run alone: br his side. It was a moaning sound ' that ,went wbo-o-o-o. Bennle's half stood on end. He ran faster. .The sound became louder.

President Harding In his an nual message to congress deliv ered at the opening of its regu lar session December S, 1922. In speaking of tariff ' legislation, said: "There is before yon the com pletion of the enactment of what has been termed a permanent tariff law. I cannot too strongly nrge an early completion of this necessary legislation. It is needed to stabilize our indus try at home; It is essential to mike more definite our trade re lations abroad. More. IT IS VITAL TO THE PRESERVATION OF MANY OF OUR OWN INDUS TRIES. WHICH CONTRIBUTE Sp NOTABLY TO THE VERY LIFE BLOOD OF OUR NATION. "There is now, and there al ways will be, a storm of conflict ing epinion about any tariff re vision. We cannot go far wrong When we base our tariffs on the policy of preserving the produc-. tive activities, which enhance em ployment and add to our national prosperity.' "Again comes the reminder that we must not be unmindful of world, conditions, that peoples ae struggling for industrial re habilitation and that we cannot dwell in Industrial and commer cialr exclusion and at the same time do the just thing- in aiding World reconstruction and read justment.. We do not seek a sel fish aloofness, and we could not profit "by It, were it possible. We recognize the necessity of buying wherever we sell and the perma nency of trade lies In its accept able exchanges. In our pursuit Of markets we must give as well as receive. We cannot sell to others who do not produce, NOR CAN WE BUY UNLESS WE PRO DUCE AT HOME. SENSIBLE OF EVERY OBLIGATION OF HUMANITY, COMMERCE AND FINANCE. LINKED AS THEY ARE IN THE PRESENT WORLD CONDITIONS, IT IS NOT. TO BE ARGUED THAT WE NEED DE STROY OURSELVES TO BE HELPFUL TO OTHERS. With all my heart, I wish restoration to the peoples blighted by the awful World war, BUT THE PROCESS OF I RESTORATION DOES NOT LIE IN OUR AC CEPTANCE OF!' LIKE CONDI TIONS. IT WERE BETTER TO REMAIN ON FIRM GROUND, STRIVE FOR AMPLE EMPLOY MENT AT HOME, and point the way to balanced budgets, rigid economy and resolute, efficient work as the necessary remedies to cure disaster. . e e IT IS NOT AN UN WORTHY SELFISHNESS TO SEEK TO SAVE OURSELVES hen the processes of that sal- Tation are not only denied to others, but commended to them. WE SEEK TO UNDERMINE FOR OTHERS NO INDUSTRY BY WHICH THEY' SUBSIST; WE ARE OBLIGATED TO PERMIT THE UNDERMINING OF NONE OF OUR OWN WHICH MAKE FOR EMPLOYMENT AND MAIN TAINED ACTIVITIES."

In a little more than five years from the time of its opening, up to March 31. 1922. the receipts were $1,463,432.22. while the disbursements were (215,391.24. or a net income of $1248,940.98, considerably more than the cost of the main struc ture which was approximately $1,100,000. Thus the bridge is paying for itself, and more, every five yeas. It has certainly been a good investment.
