This is the company that Js building at Bellingham, Wash., and that wants sample tracts of beets in the Salem district.- "; ;;-'t -; 'I I ' In Great Britain there is a tremendous boom in beet sugar factories; many new factories planned, by both home and foreign capital; so much so that there is to be an organ ization under semi-official sanction, attempting to see that the factories do not overlap. The boom is caused by the government bounties. (We do it differently in the United States; we give sugar a protective tariff.) j V" ; - There is a new sugar for diabetics, to be used with insulirt; saving insulin. Has been tried out and is found a success. t . x There is a strong buying movement in sugar, pushing up prices of both refined and raw supplies. j ; . A GOOD MOVEMENT Secretary Hoover's plea for a better ; distribution of "seasonal" business throughout the year has borne fruit in the interior decorating business,-according to C. W Cousens, advertising director of the Wallpaper Manufacturers'- asso ciation. "P;" r:.::''."''' ' -::- - " "1 have heard from many. cities he said, "that women are breaking away from the old idea that the three months of the spring and fall are the only time of the year to redec orate. The habit of decorating only at these times was due to the old custom of spring and fall housecleaning which is gradually growing obsolete. j "There are eighteen thousand members of the Wallpaper Guild of America, the paperhangers, and formerly they were busy only six months of the year. This better distribution of business which is coming about works not only to their advantage, but to that of their customers, as a great many dealers are willing to give substantial discounts on the slack seasons, and contractors will undertake the work at a lesser cost." 1 ' The above article is furnished by the Interior Decoration Service Bureau; in other words, it is propaganda for the wallpaper people of the United States j But it is a good idea. It is a good movement, and it should be pushed along, and extended to many other lines of business. The more general employment can be made steady for those needing it, the better it will be for all the people. RUSSIA REAWAKENS TO RELIGION Observers, of whom it must be said that their hopes and wishes are back of their opinions, regard with happiness the signs of the times in Russia where a sturdy popular reaction appears to be neutralizing if not nullifying the atheistic anti clericalism of the Bolsheviki. 1 i ' , V Persons -who have read history, needfully and analyti cally, will not be surprised at the news conveyed in the asser tions of the Most Reverend William Henry Francis, Metropoli tan Archbishop of North America of the Western Orthodox Church,-that a real religious revival is at full flood, that churches are crowded to the doors, ands that devotional processions are to be encountered everywhere. Neither will the further intelligence that the so-called "Living Church," a device of the Soviet government, ministered by Communist pastors and supported by contributions of 4 silly American sympathizers and by Bolshevist donations j from confiscated properties, is having a desperate struggle to make any head way at all. j The Orthodox Church, under the Tsars was a political as well as a religious institution. The fact was an embarrass ment, once the Russian imperial government ceased to be, but this fact must be understood by Americans who would scrutinize Russia's problem of today. "So Vhen the com munist revolution swept away the old state, its leaders very naturally decided that they must sweep away the old church as well !;..' " V u ; -j;? -1 And it was to them more than an anti-religious senti ment, though there was quite enough of this in the minds and hearts of the destroyers at Moscow It. was a matter of practical necessity, if the revolution was to prevail, because it was only through its completeness that it seemed to them to stand a chance. Where the Bolsheviki blundered was in failing to distinguish between mere ecclesiastical fabric and the real warp and woof of religion. ; The Church they could crush, the moral force upon which all churches are builded It is true that we cannot be too drastic in saying who can belong to the republican party and who can not. but It is also true, as laid down by the president in his in augural address that we must have party responsibility if : the expressions of the people are put Into effect. ; The people gave a mandate to the republican party which must be respected. It is not expecte4 that the democrats will help carry out this program. They didn't vpte for it and the members of congress elected at the last elec tion by them were not given such mandates. It is the business of the minority party by precedent, long established, to find fault .and try to hinder. It Is the business of the ; majority party ' to make a program and carry it through. This program must be adequate and constructive in order to com mand the confidence of the entire country. But once entered upon, if the rejublican party would re tain its supremacy, the men elect ed as republicans must act as re publicans. The republican party came very nearly going to pieces in the old alliance days because convention after convention nominated can didates for congress and absolved them from acting with the party organization on economic ques tions. The result was that S the people resented this and such men were defeated.: A man run ning as a republican candidate must expect his election to be a mandate to follow republican prin ciples. This being true, he has no right to set up his own stan dards or to bolt the party. J Jr order to maintain the party there must be latitude of course We cannot hold men to hard and fast rules, but on certain fundamentals the party organization must stand together. That: Is necessary if there is going to be any program carried out. So while believing in latitude and individual prefer ence, the republican party gener ally will accept the president's utterances and the action of con gress in demanding the organiza tion to be so harmonious that it will put a program through suc cessfully. , , ... lens have violated the prohibitory law and are doing it with satis faction and a real desire for publicity. The automobile laws are violated with impunity, f and you cannot make people under. stand that in doing so they are becoming criminals. ; - . : Once upon a time a special train of moonshiners was taken from the mountains into Little Rock. Ark. In the number were four preachers. These preachers were good men but they could not see that they did not have a perfect right to take their own corn, make, whiskey out of it and sell it. We laugh' tt them and say how foolish they were, and yet they are no more- foolish than those who insist that automobile laws are for the other fellow. , : .. ' 1 This is anent an incident which happened in Aberdeen, Wash. The judge decided he was going to take the fingerprints - of all pris oners. lie had a rebellion on. his hands which reached the point of a revolution and he was routed. The objection was that, many of the best people would have their finger prints hung up alongside those of criminals, and yet the only difference between them .was the degree of the violation of the law. One violated a law that sent him to the penitentiary. The other violated a law that brought forth a small fine, but both vio lated the laws of the .land. Some of these days we are go ing to have a revival of law en forcement. It is going to be gen nine and men will try to obey the laws themselves rather than simply insist upon the other fel low doing it. 8 ! i--e 15 THE SIMPLE LIFE THE CRIMINAL CLASSES The great trouble in America Is law enforcement.' It is so hard because people cannot understand that while , there may be . but a small degree of crime that to break any criminal law means the defender is in the role of a crim inal. We all want the law en forced against the other fellow. even the driving law, but we ob ject to having it enforced against ourselves. J - r In the days of old. Big Tim Sullivan of Xew York was asknig something of President Cleveland and the president replied he could not do it because it was uncon stitutional. - Sullivan,' unabashed, said: "What's the constitution between friends?" That is the way a good many of us feel about law enforcement what's law enforce ment between friends. , 'j ' Many of our so-called best citl- A good many people are shock ed, especially high society people, because President Coolidge re fuses to pose, but insists on being a common every-day man, doing the duties of his exalted office In a simple, quiet way. He does not like ostentatiousness or pageantry As a matter of fact he is not the first great man who chose the simple life. While these are ingrained traits of Calvin Coolidge, they are com mendable traits in a lot of big men. The biggest men are the simplest, and only' the" dmall .ffiten who have to rattle around find tt necessary to splurge. Official dis play is not pleasant to the. presi dent and it would be a mistake for him to yield to the' Importun ities of Washington society folk to the point of deviating from the course that is cut out for him by inheritance, as . well as by taste and temperament. - And it is better for the nation. We shall have sufficient' extrava gance, ostentation and manifesta tion of the power of wealth and office without ' encouragement from the White House. Ostenta tious display of wealth and power are demoralizing to a republic. They beget envy, class conscious ness and hatred and feed the fires of unrest. In official life they Im pair the public service, breed po litical marplottings'and in other ways are deterimental to a demo cracy existing under a republican form of government. .

It was not an accident that Jesus sat by the well that day. .It was not an accident that the woman came to draw water at that moment. God's plans "work together." (Rom. 8: 28 ) They work for "good." A convinced believing woman carried the message, "good news", back to her Tillage and the whole community turned, to Jesus. The power of a testimony that is backed by a conviction and an experience is great. Jesus abode there two days and nights and the whole city was blessed because of one woman's witness.

Rabindranath Tagore, In diag nosing the trouble in Europe, says it is lack of love. This is as in telligent a diagnosis as has ever been made. Europe hates. Not only do the nations hate each other but they hate themselves. They are angry at their neighbors even in their back yards. For centuries the entire effort has been to cultivate hatred. They tried to et along without religion that is without the satisfying, in spirational religion that has made America so great. The result has been that there has been a loose ness of morale, a looseness of gen eral conduct that has affected every class of people. However, America is not with out offending even in that. We do hot love each other as we should. We are grasping after the dollar. True, the service clubs are coming in with construc tive programs and revolutionizing business, but we haven't gone far enough. We are in the right di rection but we must go further. There is a need for better under standing even among the people. They must appreciate the co-relat-ing interests that bind all Ameri ca together. We do not hate in this country as they do in Europe, but we do, not love as we should love. We-are selfish, and unless we watch ourselves it will grow on us. There is a real need for a revival of love in America,, and Tagore, mystic as he is, can tell us something in that respect. AXEXT THE PRIMARY The Corvallis Gazette Times can not get over its chagrin because its clique failed to put across two measures in the last legislature, both designed to kill the primary election law. For a time the bills had clear sailing but immediately their defects were pointed out, the best politicians in. the state saw they would never do. The editor of the Gazette Times does not regard political expedi ency as being an asset to a party. The editor has his job and the civil service law is liable to be extended so he can hold it in definitely, so that he feels he can let the republican party go, and he was willing to let it commit suicide in the legislature.

Mr. Stewart is a man of large public experience. He has devoted himself to good roads, of course, but that is a bi? job, and makes a big man bigger always. Mr. Stewart is not only public spirited but he is public-minded, and he will work for the public interests as faithfully as for pri vate interests. The. school fund needs just the sort of attention it will get. Mr. Stewart will not be drastic, and will be careful not to work an injury to anyone, but he will protect the fund and at the same time give the borrowers every possible chance to work out. It takes a certain type of man to do this work, and Mr. Stewart is the right type.

Edward Mills released it for publi cation recently, that it was published on the back cover fo the song dedicated to the blind of Oregon. The verses are as follows: "Brighten up with happiness, every little while. Other folks will smile at you. Just to see you smile. ' Frowns are only smiles, you know, twisted out of place; -'". You can put them right again, with your beaming face. "There are many heavy hearts, many lives are sad; Wishing you would come along, just to smile them glad. This will be a happy, world, in the afterwhiles. When at every other one, everybody smiles. " a . "Put some music in your voice, every time you speak; ' Set the elfin melodies, playing hide and seek.
