opposition knows it Is licked and
is looking for a place to fall where
the mud will be soft. It is a bad
idea, however, to have a cam

The republican campaign this
year is the highest standard, the
Cleanest and most effective ever
had. 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. Re
ligion has not been hurt So far by
any made, and we do not believe
it can be hurt by any made inj the
future. ' i'i ; i

THOUGHTS FOR EVERY DAY
By Editor J. B. 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.

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.
Let's try to understand, to see
the best side of everything, and
to treat others as we would have
them to treat us, , and we will
make ourselves happier and bet-
ter and be helpful to others.
of the creation in the Bible must
be taken: literally.
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. I '

U . 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.

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

: 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

.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 '
