It has not stooped to any thing. It has passed over insult and injury; because It didn't want to dirty its hands with disreput able tactics.; However the repub lican I campaign is effective be cause mote people -are reading than 'ever; more people are con versant with what is going on in the country. They are making their own values and the result Is that foolish propaganda and ir responsible ; charges are falling flat. J The j people who believe these things would not vote the republican ticket anyway. ; They are the contrary minded who naturally go for the destructive fall of its own weight. If it is true it will harmonise with re ligion. If It is not true It doesn't make any difference whether it uoos or not. .. f t We are making a mistake In not permitting an Investigation.

Parker, of The ; Conway (Arkansas) News "When you are next feeling like criticising someone, or finding fault' with what somebody has done; Jtst recall these lines from Kipling? "Could we judge all deeds by mo tives, f That- Burround each other's lives. See the! naked heart and spirit. Know1 vhat spur the action gives. Often we would find it better. Purer than we judge we should. We would love, each other better, If only we 'understood.', i If we but knew alt things we would be more charitable in our thoughts toward' others, f : j j Too often we are ; hasty -and reach conclusions alike unjust to ourselves and to others.

We have no quarrel with those who are seeking to discredit evolu tlon, but we have a quarrel , with those who insist that religion must fight every new proposition that comes up. It must not do any thing of the kind. Religion is fully able to stand on its own bottom and make its own way.: If evolution is true it will survive. The writer of this corner of The Statesman ventured a flyer last Sunday into the entrancing and changing realm of I party rather than the constructive chemistry, ia the spirit that impels "fools to rush in where one.

Soj the sailing across the seas from Germany of the ZR-3 and the flying over pur heads of the Shenandoah may mark a more important epic in the march of science and world, develop ment than we now even dream possible. j - These t flights mark man's final triumph over the last "element" to be conquered the air. Toward what other achievement this is a step; to what extent these feats of .the inventor's genius will influence the future no one can say. : It is enough at this time to recognize that the problem of air transportation has largely been solved; that new avenues of communication ana travel nave Deen opened to. me worm. Air flight by the heavier than air plane must ever have definite limitations.: The achievements of the ZR-3 and the Shenandoah would indicate that the possibilities of the rigid lighter j than air ships of travel I are almost without limits. IT he flights of these dirigibles were such as to sweep away limitations. These flights would seem to promise that the air will bej, one day, our most important medium of transportation, i Heretofore, the rigid dirigible has not been regarded as a safe of very practical vehicle. But these ships of the air stood the most terrific tests of storm and hurricane; weathered them all in la way to-disarm, skepticism. ; j , The adaptation pt helium gas as an inflating and sustaining agent for ships of the air and the perfection of the mooring towers have largely -effaced the handicaps that stood in the way of this type of aircraft. j ! '. They have given us evidence to show that airships can be built and sailed that will be capable of making long swift flights, in safety and with reliability ; and that, so sailing, there can be dirigibles that will . be capable of transporting large numbers of passengers and huge burdens of freight. The tool has ben made and perfected; it remains for the ingenuity of the florid to adapt it to the occasions of the world. 4' i I ; r I These are not the perfected products. It is obvious that great changes will be made in this type of aircraft. For one thing some cheaper way of producing helium gas will be found. Probably we will look back to the Shenandoah and ZR-3 as immeasurably crude and imperfect; but science has broken down the barriers and we are in a new pasture. A SAD THING I The recalled courtly com mission- era in Multnomah county have been acquitted of criminal charges. They find themselves today vindi cated by a jury of their fellow men after exhaustive hearings but disgraced by Having: been re called from office;' It is soaking into a good many; men ; that the recall is not a good weapon in a republic.' Ideally ii holds the club over an official and makes him good. Practically it puts the club in the hands of the official's ene mies to take his very life. Unfortunately we have a habit of abusing our officials, high and low. Some people think that the traffic cop Is the most generally abused, but he gets very little more abuse than the county: commis sioners or the governor of the state. No sooner do we elect a man to office than we begin to discredit him by distorting his actions and misrepresenting . his methods. 1 It is not a good thing and especially is it bad in those states that have recall provisions in their laws. ! j Time passes so ' fast that it doesn't take a term of office very long to get over, and if there are injustices they can be remedied quite easily. It is a safe propo sition that the recall has worked more injustice in Oregon -than it has ever been able to do good. - - ...... . i . - - '. - . i t III GOODBYE ROCO , Edwin Socolofsky and his fam Hy left yesterday: for Derry, New Hampshire, where Mr. Socolofsky will engage in county YMCA work. "Soco," as he is lcalled, has been county "Y" secretary here for the past three years: and lias done a wonaeriul work.' He : is a man of great spirituality, an unusual mixes, friendly because he likes people, and efficient because he masters every difficulty, every problem he attacks. Marion, county; has sustained great loss in his departure but he has gone to a larger field where his splendid talents can get better results in the particular part of the vineyard 1 in which ,' he , has chosen to labor. -f The young peo ple of the county will especially miss him, and the older people also, who knew him well, will re gret his departure, all saying Vote For The Common-Sense Candidates Their Records Recommend Them "I AM FOR ECONOMY. AFTER THAT I AM FOR MORE ECONOMY' Cooaare : He proved his faith by his works. This administra tion has saved the people $6,000,000 daily in taxes as compared with 1921. It has lopped of f 95,456 employes from the federal payrolls. : ; Dawes, the budgeteer, put the country on a business basis by cutting out the deadwood in governmental affairs. Deficits in former years have been turned into surpluses. The national debt has been reduced ?2,750, 000,000 in three years. j FOREIGN: POLICY SPELLS PEACE ABROAD AND ; PROSPERITY AT HOME The Dawes plan has made possible rehabilitation of Europe, which means better markets and better prices for America's farmcrops. Limitation of armaments is an administration policy and ihakes for peace as well as reduced costs of government. ! , : -i . The Republican tariff . linked with restrictive immi gration, has brought prosperity to the man who toils.. Wages were never so high, they would never buy so much, as today. COOLIDGE POLICIES HAVE RE-ESTABLISHED PROSPERITY CONTINUE THEM When this administration took office, it faced all the problems of reconstruction. Deplorable conditions ex--isted. The people were suffering from a tremendous deflation. Interest was high and capital scarce. There was general acute f inancial distress. Our citizens were compelled to sell, their government bonds around 85 that they had bought in wartime at par. A complete change has been accomplished. Never before in peace time has there been such constructive accomplishments as since March, 1921. Prosperity for all the people has replaced general distress. Industrial ly, the country was never on firmer ground. Agricul ture, in dire' plight when the Republican party came into, power, faces a brightening future. Our depreciated government bonds -have all risen above par and one is selling at better than 106. THESE ARE SOUND, CONSTRUCTIVE, SENSIBLE - ACCOMPLISHMENTS Vl A Vote for Coolidge and Dawes is a Common-Sense Vote REPUBLICAN STATE CEm I. L. PATTERSON, Chairman Portland, Oregon JOHN W. COCHRAN, Secretary p . i i. (Paid Adv.) ! V .THAT MISSING CYLINDER ' ;The Mount Angel News has a mighty fine article about the ben efit of all the cylinders running in community life. By this is meant harmonious and united action. The parable of the automobile la used because everybody is famil iar with that, but the lesson is . plain that what1 we need is more Community team work:. It Is true . that we are beginning to under stand each other better and there fore getting along better. ' There less acrimony thin there used to be. We haven't iulte reached the point where we are fair to everybody, but we are going in that direction. Unquestionably jthe world is getting better. We need to be better, ii We need to be more neighborly ia our spirit. We also need more men to interest themselves In municipal life. This is supposed to be the year of the big vote, which means this la the year more people ere performing the News article, which is as fol lows: 1 : ' s ! "The progressive town is like a j fine six or eight-cylinder car, pur ring along evenly as it carries its passengers, the residents of the community over the hills that stand In the way of prosperity. But sometimes a good looking town, like many a beautiful car, will roll along evenly while the roads are level, but upon reaching a hill of business adversity, will slow up, knock and jerk, and fin ally come to a dead stop before It reaches the crest. A missing cylinder, you say? Yes, and that 'missing cylinder is the man or woman who shows no j interest in home town business or in the welfare of the commun ity."- Y, : i ' FOOLISH TALK The most foolish talk that has been Indulged in is that the re publicans are preparing to buy the election.
