' - PRATER: O Thou, Who art we may behoM wondrous things HOPDia IT ".'There is not the least probability that the sugar? duties will be reduced, but the law that created the tariff commission provided for the representation of the minority upon it, and the flexible provision in the present tariff law contemplated, ppo--fessedly the lowering as well as the raising of duties. - It, is the part of a vigilant minority to expose the bad f aitbJ of the major ity party whenever it is possible." j ; v The above is from the Philadelphia Press, Democratic. In other words, in the opinion of the above writer, the thing to do is to keep the tariff in polities I ' -c j ' ; ; . .And to constantly play politics. j "' t ' The Philadelphia writer goesn to make a' great liproar because President Coolidge held up the?matter of the report of the tariff commission, asking for further facts 5 - Merely seeking to make political capital out of the matter. Under the flexible provision of the tariff law, it; is the duty-of the President to decide. The tariff commission is charged with the duty only ( of investigating and recommend ing : ! .V ' ' ' J' ';; - i ' ''--U.l j And, for the good of the whole country, it w hoped the statement is true that there is not the least probability that the sugar duties will be reduced : ; . j ' , 1 1 i And this means consumers as well as producers. . i ; I i - " One pf the-most encouraging signs of the 'times in this country is the disposition generally" to treat as back numbers itbe mere players of politics, like the writer quoted above.; : And one of the next most encouraging signs is the disposi tion to quit treating the tariff as a political matter." It never should have been so. r - j . ; . If it had been treated as a business matter from the first the people of the United States, using a fifth of all the sugar of the world, using five million tons of it this year, would now "be growing and making all their supply, instead of importing nearly all of.it from other countries. .' : 1 AMERICA'S BIGGEST PROBLEM .-- (Los Angeles Times.) - "" 1 f . ' Herbert Hoonrer, Secretary of Commerce, won universal commen fiatlan on the result ol his traffic conference in projecting a nation wide? drive against reckless and incompetent drivers of automobiles. The conference was considered of such vital importance that it was attended by representatires of police departments, automobile asso ciations. Insurance companies and many other organizations through out .the country. The result was a determination to 'inaugurate a general drire for the licensing of all drivers after examination; for the revocation of licenses of drunken drivers; for the elimination! of .billboards at highway crossings; for the elimination of grade cross ings on railroads, and to bring about safety instructions in the public 8ChOOls. ; '..,-,,.' . -:. j, v Mr. Hoover, In his address at the conference, called for I "much stronger panishment for the violation of the rights Of others;" and said that the time has come when every accident must be looked Into and "punishment meted out that will Imnresa the mind f th io. ior tne naiance of their natural lives." President Coolidge, who :as In attendance, said that no conference "ever dealt with questions of atraver concern to our national life." j : 5 - . One result of the conference will nrnbahi ha a mnwm-n rL mk. about uniformity in traffic laws ueaa oi one state may not o tne innocent violators of the regulations in another. There can be no doubt that the great majoriy of accidents are caused by careless, reckless. Ignorant and drunken drivers, and to the elimination of these the laws must point in no uncertain way.' MORE JCCKEYIXa IL doesn't look fair for the Am erican nation to want to Imperil the treaty obligations by raising thel guns. President Coolidge has very emphaUcilly discounte nanced thls The world Is tired of the manipulations of the navy clique, who are always trying -"to put Something over on the country and Jn doing so are imperiling the spirit of j Americanism, 'which means humanity, a square deal, fair - play, and also means to be entirely devoid of offense In any way that will make war. Indications of a jockeying spirit have been noted In Great Britain and the United States.. A techni cal question has arisen as to our Vfght under that treaty to raise the guns on the capital ships of our navy and thereby Increase their range of i fire. ; Experts of the United States navy have been pro testing that , unless that Is done Great Britain and Japan will have won . a jockeyed advantage . over the United States. V ""7 President Coolidge disapproves that suspicions view. He. tears that gun elevation, would .renew the old International competition . In armaments. He insists that the spirit, even more than the letter, of the treaty must be observed; and his earnest Views have been Impressed on the senate and house naval committees. VN - Now we shall see whether Great Britain and -Japan will respond in kind to that generous and friendly gesture, n ' . ..''.1.Ur. ;'.;,-? t IICLT1XG THE CnlLDREX H is a fct that Uhe state fair ias outgrown its licxitatlons.

It is the spirit of excelling without envy, and as such it ought to have the sanction of the legislature. " v ; The present legislature owes it to the children of Oregon to make an appropriation sufficiently large enough .to providers building for the children and It would take a big one to accommodate them - f ; f -: FARMERS RELII :Z Senator Borah Is right In saying the question of first importance oetore the senate Is fanners' re lief. The situation,. has been tern porartly relieved by a shortage of crops In other countries, but in no sense can that be construed into a solution. , It means that g the farmers will have a breathing spell and If they do not lose their heads they will not get quite as far back as they were before. But the dan ger is always there, and that dan ger must be met by capable and comprehensive legislation. - We are a great people to? let things solve themselves, and some times ' we continue an i injustice. At the present time we ought to take, advantage of the lull to pro vide against a recurrence' otthe sad condition of : the T last ffew years. The federal : reserve act eared the situation for. the banks and it saved many a situation In the country. A similar act can be rassed that will sava the altua tioa for tbe tarn crs " . srrnxa pretty . - . The reports from Washington hare It that President Coolidge is stronger than Roosevelt erer was. The president ame into power at a time when the most - turbulent congress in history was at Its wildest peak. He went to work gradually but kindly and patient ly, with the result that the country sustained him. It took a lot of courage to make' the quiet resist ance he made. However, now It- Is stated that the president U firmly entrenched and that .his leadership is liable to last for a long time. He is the sort of man who bores deep and keeps on boring. He Is going to haTe a policy', and that policy, will be as clear and emphatic as that of any previous president. TDIE! TO ACT It is hard to understand the desperateness of those who are op posing a business-like disposition of f Muscle Shoals. Certainly the plan: proposed - is business-like. Certainly it, Is in the spirit of Am erica and also certainly it Is be ing opposed by the fertilizer trust which has penalized the south for half a century.; ' 1 " ' Fertilizer Is needed, and It can be best secured under private initiative. At the same, time our Investment in Muscle Shoals is so huge that we must retain our hold for any military purposes that may unfortunately arise. But the time has come when Muscle Shoals should be disposed of, and the petty fussers who are so afraid something will be put across are themselves liable to be the most suspicious. They are playing into the hands of the fertilizer trust as certainly as if they were conscious of it.

' 3fad Her Mad - Lillian's request was like, a sharp gust of wind, ; lifting the miasma of suspicion from my mental horizon. After all. I knew nothing of what really had hap pened. The newspaper story was plainly exaggerated it was one of the freakish stunts which with al leged .humor admittedly sacrificed absolute accuracy to cleverness and L Dicky's , telegram was .simply another wording ; of Lillian's ap peal to reserve , my Judgment, un til I had seen him. I was not the less angry at Dicky because Lillian deftly had removed the festering sliver from the wound he had given me. No natter - what alleviating circum stances there were, it still was a most humiliating experience o which he was subjecting me. . I wondered how he would act were It possible for me to have I given him ; a - similcr ; jolt, and then I realized that Lillian was looking at me and that I had not answered her request. ' . ;.

She looked up at me with eyes suddenly moist, and tbe sight of the tears which she dashed aside impatiently , made me realize how reeply abe was feeling my trouble It takes strong emotion to bring the tribute of even dashing away tears to Lillian's eyes. j "You dear!" She exclaimed tenderly, "Remember I know ex actly what you're going through It isn't any summer squall, it's a real storm,', but you're " going to weather it through, like, the brave little mariner you are : The doorbell pealed, and I gave a nervous start. i , Lillian patted my shoulder reassuringly. "And here are the pirate craft. the reporters," she smiled, or miss my guess. Do you want to see them first, or shall It" - . "Will you?" I queried nervous ly then added quickly: r'But I'll do whatever you say." "I think I'd better take the first whack at them." she said; "I've bad more experience than, you have,- although you, had enough last summer: when Junior but this Is different, . remember, ; she hastened to eay.

I read the names aloud.

How about it,; Katie. What's the name of the one you don't like, and what did he do?

EUGENE T. PRESCOTT. , . Jlr. Pnrdy Again Editor Statesman: JVit' . It would be wise on jour part to study out just, what we: are to this world,' and what this' World :1s to us. We are told in the'third chap ter of I Corinthians and the 19th verse that the wisdom of this world Is foolishness j with ; God. This wisdom of -the world that God is speaking about through Paul doesn't, I am sure, mean the wisdom used In the enterprise' and pursuit of life, but it 1 does mean the wisdom of the world that con f licts with the divine laws of God. In this world there is nothing. t dare say, more alluring than to serve tne people in anioincial ca pacity.1 It Is real astonishing how far people of this world will go, or how much they will do without money and without price to gain honor of the world- f Is it any wonder that some of our great men of the world collapse j when - they realize. -that this honor; heretofore bestowed upon them by the people of the world is being withdrawn. Every human being 1 a part of this world as long as wie remain in the world, and just as nuch as we sre a part of the world, this world Is a part of us, for we read that God created man fromjthe dust of the ground. So as far as tbe world goes whether we are wiling to ad mit it or not, we are part of one another, and we have a. perfect right to require that (each of us walk? together circumspectually, before God,' which ;is man's duty while in this worJdj ;:!;' V: We should understahd that the better lives we live in every sense, the more it improves the world, and the better we' leave It for iour loved ones when we piss out, the happier they can bo.'
