clauses of the present tariff law. v ' . - , . ii -,
What will the Democrats in national con vention ! do about
this? .
, I Their leaders do not know. ' ' v
t There seems no other ehance to make a main issue between
the two great parties " '
f -But the Democratic leaders are making gestures indicating
that they fear to take the plunge. " f '
T A number of the lesser lights of the Democratic party m
Congress have been making some pop-gun assaults on the pres
ent tariff law, with bills thrown into the hopper for home con
sumption '.; v ' y:--.i v- 1f,il
J Bat they have heard from their constituents, even those or
the South, where remarkable, industrial developments have
been taking place, under the; present law; and this gives them
pause. ' :: ' ' " ZV "Vvi,

(supposedly wishing to please his "farmer" constituency) pro
posed in a bill that all farm implements and
tials" be placed on the free list - ; V - - S i u
i And he got the horse laugh when he was informed that all
agricultural implements, binder twine and most other " essen
' tials" of use on the farm are already on the free list. " . '
I ; ' Another Democratic member, from an Indiana district
having no beet sugar factories, proposed to reduce the duty on

i t: ;The Republican platform; in commending the elastic clauses
' of the present tariff law, does well in supporting the principle.
But it does not goar enough. It is not sufficiently workable.
-It is mainly a mere form, in its present shape. ; Take cherries,
"for instance. They carry a duty of 2 cents a pound. It should
be 6 cents a pound. The cherry growers may present a case
j to the tariff commission. : If it has any funds with which'to make
, an investigation (they had not a few days ago), that body
1 may investigate. If it finds a good ease, that body may recom
r, raend to the President that the rate be raised. ' He may, in his
.-judgment, raise the duty to 3 cents. That is, he may raise it
;C0 per cent. He cannot ' go further. There are , many t other
eases pf the kind ; some worse ones, especially in cotton goods.
Tbevlaw should be amended, providing short cuts and brass
Stacks rules; using horse sense.' The President should be given
j - more latitude. In the same field, the British give their trade
' commissioners more latitude ; a great deal more in fact, ;un
j limited latitude, to protect labor and capital-against ruinous
f rforeigw competition. .So do the French. . . . -r- - - ---

: I THE REPVDLICAN PLATFORM.
Out of the turmoil and strife,
out of the conflict of selfish am
tltion,' out of the efforts of little
me"n' to.assumer bit' p1cs there
has come an unexpectedly strong
platform.'- " These men who baVe
been rattling around sobered when
faced - with direct responsibility,
anir.back of everything- at the
Cleveland conTentlon there was
1 hequlel,: ef fectiye personality of
i , Calvin Cpolidge demanding clear
, cnt expressions and unmistakable
j positions on public affairs.
. The republican platform does
not " compromise, docs not shilly
shally in any place. It is a docu
ment given out by a strong party
with a record of accomplishment.
The republican parly's record will
be a guarantee to the people that
this platform will be carried oat.'
Only a few features do we care to
ci!3CU33 at this time, :
- The demand for" economy Is' the
Iceynote'of the; entire' platform,
and the men elected this year will
uo:t certainly. .meet that demand.

f this country, including: the 1
the South will vote the ticket
platform says about? the tariff.
y - : ;.. , '
It is for comprehensive division of
the bureaus of Washington to the
end that we have more economical
government. ' ' '
Perhaps the next most outstand
ing declaration Is' In favor of the
world court. The time has come
when America; must enter- world
affairs and lend its moral influ
ence to rehabilitating the prostrate
nations. ' Five and one-half year3
have demonstrated that they can
not get up by themselves, and we
should loan our strength to the
effort to put them., on their feet.
It la a grand purpose and one that
will meet hearty response from the
American people. ; ?
We of the westr will naturally
look with Interest! upon the recla
mation and irrigation planks.
That, means something. That
means relief and the president, is
planning to get that relief even
before congress convenes.
Another of the outstanding
things is the demand for honesty
in ; public office: There i waa no
effort to whitewash anyone, neith
er was there an effort to: besmirch-
anybody. It swii' clear-cut In
cisive demand that the guilty be
punished, no matter to what party
they belonged. l?
Incidentally compare this plank
with the one that will be adopted
by the - democrats end you will
see the dignified statesman-like
pronunclo as against the diatribes
of malicious parties. "
The republican party la going
before the country with unequivo
cal declarations upon all the Im
portant questions of today. It
has dodged nothing. It has com
promised nothing. It contains the
usual nationalism spirit and will
appeal to the voters everywhere
as striking fire oh the important
questions of the day. 'i
CALVIN COOLIDGE
If there ever was a time In the
history of America that there was
a demand for leadership that time
is today. The parties practically
went to pieces upon the death of
President Harding. Every j man
struck out boldly . for hiinself.
Every man tried to discredit every
other. man. It. was a gloomy out
fit
A little Yankee from Massa
chusetts, where - people are sup
posed to be hidebound and narrow.
was thrust into ' the presidency
with little hope ; from the party
generaUy that he would develop
leadership. He has done so. The
country looks to the president for
leadership and experiences disap
pointment at a disarrangement of
plans. However, Coolidge has met
the challenge and is growing every
day with the people.. : , T
Of necessity there can not he
acceptable leadership in 'congress.
Such leadership as has arisen there
since .adoption of the constitution,
1S5 years ago, has been fitful and
doubtful. With 96 senators and
435 members of the house, all hav
ing equal authority under the law
and all charged with the duties of
legislation, conditions are not con
ducive to leadership. And leader
ship there -was never at a lower
ebb . than now. 1 -'. -.;' , L- V -.
Leadership must come from the
White House. It was there in the
nearly eight years that Roosevelt
was president. It was not there
under Taft. It was there for the
greater part of the Wilson admin
istration, but vanished with the
breakdown of Mr. Wilson.
It came back only measurably
under Harding, who made the mis
take, in the judgment of many
friends and admirlrs, of trying con
ciliation and Inviting teamwork
between the 'legislative ' and exe
cutive departments of the govern'
It looks as if real leadership has
come back - under : Coolidge. . He
has shown that he is not afraid of
congress. f He will not kowtow to
It. He is courageous, honest, able
and straightforward. The country
sees that b has set the ship of J
state on the course sailed under a
long line of great American lead
ers, from Washington to Jefferson,
from Jefferson to Jackson, from
Jackson to Lincoln, from Lincoln
to Cleveland, from Cleveland to
Roosevelt, and from Roosevelt to
Wilson. . !
Congress, as the country sees,
has broken up into blocs, has gone
over to radicalism, to false lead
ership end the petty r politics of
demagogues. V '' 1 ' ; ' v
Speaking in general, Coolidge
does not believe in the things that
congress has been believing in.
He will - not play politics as con
gress playa politics. : That has cre
ated an issue, and that- issue, It
now seems certain, will be out
standing in the approaching cam
paign. Hence the call to "rally to
Coolidge." -
PATTERSON FOR CHAIR3IAN
.The Corvallia Gazette-Times,
whose editor is secretary of the
republican 'state central commit
tee. Is very much in favor of Sena
tor Patterson for chairman of the
republican state committee. Here's
what he says about it: f I -
"The Statesman could I have
rgked Oregon with a fine tooth
comb and not have found a better
man"for the place. Moreover, he
is entitled to it, as having been
the man -chosen to conduct the
Coolidge primary campaign in Or
egon." We do not know .whether
or not Mr. : Patterson thinks he
could spare the time from his
farm to undertake this sort of
thing, but if he can be persuaded.
it should ha done. If the republi
cans had followed the advice of
thla'colm two years ago and nom
inated him or governor, we would
have had a 'governor that you
could find in the state house once
In a while." . - ;
WAS HE RIGHT?
. Peter MacFarlane killed: himself-
because he did not have the
courage to face slow death by an
Incurable disease. This opens an
interesting question. Has a 'man
the right when he finds his work
done and himself a burden, to take
his life and thus relieve the world
of his presence and of its burden?
LThere are those who insist that it
18'rlght and there are others-who
insist that it Is not right. Those
who argue the latter Insist a man'
owes It to his family, those who
must bare the stigma of suicide
to live to tne end, no matter now
bitter that end may be. There are
three thiags we must not transmit
to our posterity If we can help it.
The first is the crime of murder,;
the second is insanity, and the
third 1$ suicide. No matter what
happens, a man. has no right to
put. any one of these stigmas on
his family if he can help it. y..:.
DAWES, V. P.
While the nomination of Charles
G. Dawes for vice, president .on
the republican ticket came as a
surprise, immediately the nomin
ation waa made there was a uni
versal volume of approval. Gene
ral l Dawes does things. He has
been a worker always, impatient
of red 1 tape but devoted to get
ting results. In the war he had
tremendous responsibility and ef
terwards . he did a work almost
as great as director of the budget
bureau.- Some think Dawes
greatest f work was in providing
a plan by which Europe could
work out his salvation. ! .?
Dawes has always been a man
of action. He has been f in the
thick of every fight, that came
along, but he always, fought fair.
People believe in him: His nom
ination will bring strength to the
ticket. As against the deliberate
and calculating Coolidge, the im
petuous end active Dawes will ap
peal to the countsy.
Coolidge and Dawes will be
winners.; V
KIMBALL AND ITS. FUTURE
There is no theological school
in the country doing a better work
than Kimball.: It has met the
challenge of this hour for teaching
pure religion fundamentally and
practically. Under the splendid
leadership of Dr. Hickman and a
faculty of unrivaled merit. the
school has carried on its work of
teaching pure. Christianity.
, We have not heard the result of
the deliberations as to Its future,
but this thing we do know. Kim
ball college with Its great record
and present efficiency must be
maintained. . : Furthermore,' any
thing so useful must have its ' op
portunities enlarged and its field
increased.
Gaston Means won the contempt
of the country by his reckless and
extravagant testimony. He waa
set down as the biggest liar in
America and did his best to merit
the designation. Now he has the
audacity, to ask to same the pros-'
ecutor .who is going to prosecute
him , for his many crimes. ' -This
is unheard of in the annals of Am
erica's jurisprudence.

in this way belonged to me. The
whiskers belonged to the cat.
. "This cat. whose name was Car
rie Chapman, used to spend, hours
on the Jtank of the Housatonic riv
er peering at the stream.. . The
tragedy of "a cat's life is that her

which she actually baited with

fell asleep one day, forgetting to
unbait herself. ; A big pickerel
yanked her into the water and she
was drowned. The fish doubtless
ate her, for they are as fond of
cat as cats are of fish j though they

the sign of the Bull. People born
under that sign can be identified
by their genial manners, dark red

great deal of exercise by jumping
to conclusions and dodging credit
ors. Yet, despite their strong con
stitutions, whenever you try to
borrow money, they suffer notice

THE POSSUM HUNTERS WHO WENT
Ever since Tom and Helen could
remember. Tabby had been a mem
ber of theif family. She was a big
black cat 'Who. in her younger
days, had been Very lively and
seemed to have almost the Intel
ligence of 'a person. She used to
wake up evry morning with the
chickens and promptly at seven
o'clock she j would call the chil
dren by knocking on their bed
room doors.1 How sho knew the
time, no one ever knew. When
the doorbell rang, she would trail
to the door and if she thought it
wa3 not answered promptly, she
would paw and me-ow as If apol
ogizing to the one on the outside
for the delay. i
Tabby lived to see her little tib
bies have gfand-tibbies, and while
all the old 'friends of her cat ac
quaintances lived their - alleged
nine lives and died. Tabby lived
on. She got so old that her teeth
fell out and she became half
paralyzed and could hardly see. '
"I'm going to give Tabby poi
son," declared Tom one day. ."The
poor old thing can scarcely ! get
around. Today I saw .her try to
run for a bird and it nearly broke
her heart ! because she was 1 too
lame to catch it. It's too bad to
let her go on living when she's so
Old." - -.. . I - . . ,
But Helen couldn't bear to see
Tabby killed, though she thought
down in her heart it would be bet
ter if the old cat were dead. "May
be she'll die pretty soon," she
told Tom. land finally made I him

TflE PLAN THAT'KATHERINE'S
WORK MADE POSSIBLE. .
The tenseness, the near-agltatlon
which was in Lillian's .manner as
she took Katherine's hastily scrib
bled notes in her hstnds told us
of the importance she attached to
these fragments of apparent non
sense which our little friend had
jotted down from the conversation
of Anton and Joe. !'
She walked swiftly to the win
dow with them, . drew a chair to
the light and began to examine
them closely, patiently forgetting
time,' ourj presence, everything, in
the curious fascination the notes
had for-her. '- Katherine and I sat
silently watching her, feeling a
rising - tide of excitement in our
own veins, so plainly did we see
1he vital j importance "which Lillian
attached j to the scribbled words
and figures.- ...
Through the open window the
occasional whir of a motor car, the
clatter of a farm. team, the voices
of school children punctured the
jSeace of. the sleepy village. As
far as outward seeming went, we
were leagues away from ugliness,
sordidness, crime, and yet I knew,
without understanding what it was
all about, that Lillian .held i in her
i hands the symbols of a monstrous
t evil reptilian something which was
slimly . drawing underneath the
surface of our national life, wait
ing its chance to attempt the clos
ing of its .coils. : . "
I shivered involuntarily, glanced
at Katherine, and saw that her
face was pallid, as I guessed was
my own. And then Lillian rose,
stuffed the scirbbled papers into
her bag moved swiftly lightly on
the smaller woman's- shoulder.
