The Close of the Campaign AS THE campaign closes three names are recognized as being in the lead of the various candidates for the repub lican nomination for governor. They are: Norblad, Corbett and Joseph. The Statesman reiterates its endorsement of Harry Corbett for the post of governor. Corbett is honest, both personally and politically. ; That means much if you know politics. It means that he will give the state an honest, capable, independent adminis tration supported by a mind that thinks clearly, is not easily stampeded, is not busily engaged in fence-building and: re pair. It means that as his record shows he is not out to curry favor with every group of three or four voters. His campaign shows that. He has made no promises and so will not be em barrassed by the importunate demands of those who cry for the moon. Oregon is not prepared to launch the dream of George Joseph for state-owned power plants. There is no financial backing for the enterprise save the property of the people. There is no outlet for the product save displacement of that now supplied by private companies or the natural increase which time brings. Farmers should see through this propo sition because it places a mortgage on their lands; and has the effect of taking off the taxrolls utility property and the farmers are the ones who must take up the slack in taxa tion. When the question arises as a straight out power ques tion let it then be fought out on its merits. A vote for Joseph is merely a protest vote so far as this immeT:ate, issue is concerned. We are not excited about this election. We think; the dome will remain on the capitol no matter who is nominated or who is elected in November. But we have confidence in the ability, the character and the record of Corbett so that we do not hesitate to recommend that the republican voters of Marion county cast their ballots for him. His nomination will give no cause for regret and points the way to a smash ing republican victory in November. It Is a matter of treat rejoic ing that real progress ha been made in tbe control of tubercu losis. A forward movement of still greater importance has now bee a started in co operative r -search in tu berculosis. This baa been und ertaken to the en that knowl edge o f the means of its prevention and a more direct method of treatment may be obtained. This highly specialized and technical re search Is being carried on und er the direc tion of the National Tuberculosis Association. Outstanding special ists. both men and women. In In dividual fields, are attacking the study under a carefully laid co operative plan The work is being carried on in twenty-one different laborator ies such as The Rockefeller In stitute of Medical Research, Yale, Johns Hopkins, Vanderbilt Uni versity, University of Nebraska, University of Chicago, Cornell University and other medical cen ters. Two phases of work are being undertaken. One is for social re search and the other for medical research The germ responsible for tu- bercnlosis is called the "tuberclfe bacillus." There can be no tuber culosis in the absence of this germ and unless there Is a favor able soil for the nourishment of the germ, it cannot take root, or at least cannot thrive, The presence of some of the most simple, ordinary illnesses, and a tendency to colds, may indi cate a run-down condition of the system. A slight cough which hangs on after a series of cold should be looked after by your doctor. Undernourishment from lack ef food, or from eating tbe wrong foods- are other causes. ' A distinguished physician who is recognized authority on tu berculosis has said: "There are six danger signal which should be watched for es pecially in children: "First, persistent underweight Children and thiu people should be weighed frequently and sent for examination if they do not gain as fast as they should. "Second, unusual fatigue. "Third, any cough which lasts a month o rmore. Fourth, any spitting of blood A SEASONABLE HANGING I BITS for BREAKFAST -By R. J.

However, he went to the table with a pleasant countenance, and did his best to help carry on. iou see," Aunt Judy was cav ing, "when Emily comes in. we want to be all ready to say, 'La fayette, we are here,' and o of course, we must all be here. What are you doing today, children?" she asked of her brvsod, for It was being borne in upon her that for Emily s sake, she must be a de lightful and efficient hostess.

"I suppose there a nothing we can do around here; we'd only be In the way " "iou have second sight. haven't you, Betty?" smiled Aunt Judy. "Now here's orders. I think we'll have everything in readiness In case Emily appears, except our clothes. You see, she'll have to dress, and that will give us all time to dress. So when you girls come back from golfing, put on a nice little frock, but not your bridesmaids' toggery, see?" Yes," said Betty, quickly un derstanding. To her mind there was not one Chance In a million of Emily's re turn in time for a noon wedding. but, then, there was no counting on .miiy. 'Why the Penningston funeral is today," said Nell, suddenly. 1 Know," Aunt Judy replied. but I didn't think you young people would care to attend. Do you ever go to funerals?" "Well, no," and Nell flushed a little, "but, to tell the truth. wanted to see how that funny bpinks would look running a fun oral!" "You wouldn't be greatly edl- ned, my dear." Aunt Judy spoke a little severely. "Mr. Sptnks is a most efficient man and hli cap abilities as a funeral director are quite as good as when he offici ates at anr light function." "Don't go, Nell," Bettw begged. Let the men go. If they think lfa necessary, but let os tay at home. "I'm not going," Aunt Judy said. "I must be here for many reasons. Ana Jim Pennington won't mind. I don't belter he'll know who's tkere and wto isn't" "What's become of hla?" ask ed Betty. "I invited him over to meals, he has such a forlorn household. "I asked him." Aunt Jady told her, "but he's busy packing to go away, and, too. he doesat care to be social just now. Said he'd look in and say good-bye." So the matter was settled and Rodney Sayre and Lamb, with Pete Glbby went to the funeral in the Hill dale ehurea. like all HiUdale institutions. the church wa beautifuL Modern and substantial, itwaa in accordance wltb the best can oos of architecture and good taste. and it restrained wae of the finest of stained glass was a joy to con- of black beads.

This waa not pessi- j1BttCh more than double that, in nuni. bui ewmcuon mat so I the following 10 years was either dead, or for some other reason , lost to them forever. With all due respect: Ta some of the best friends of I the Bit man. who say. regarding the proposed purchase of the wa ter system: "The question ie al ways open, and we can go into the water business at any time, bat it la our belief that sufficient study and investigation have not been made to undertake so im portant a step at this time" S W The voters of Salem who have been here for 20 years, and new comers who have kept up with events, do not need this advice. It is manifestly given as a friend ly and sympathetic gesture to the private owners of the water com pany, whose present managers have done very well with the property and are making and promising improvements. m S These things are all admitted. But the people of Salem consider ed this matter seriously in 1910, and they voted for city ownership, and their city council passed the necessary ordinance for selling the bonds, and the ordinance was vetoed by the then mayor, and, for various reasons that need not now be recalled (in recrimination and bitterness), the veto wag not overridden. s s s The price then was around S400.000: the estimated physical ' value, with no charge for fran chise value. Had the purchase been made then, the profits would have long since wiped out the first cost of 1400.000. The peo ple who voted for buying were thus robbed, along with their children and otheraiwho came af ter them. S ii S Around 1927, the question was up again, definitely, and commit tees were appointed. (It had been up several times in the interven ing period: for instance when Dr. Steeves was mayor,) The price In 1927 was around 5700,000 to $800,000. And even then, physi cal value only was considered. The people would have voted to buy the systems then, had they been given a chance without a doubt. But, for various reasons not necessary to relate (also in bitterness), the proposition was sidetracked and kicked about, till the present private company got ! a chance to buy. at pernaps a higher price than the city would have had to pay. had its voters been given the chance to take a ballot. S Now, after 20 years of time to consider, the matter is up again, compahf is doing a good Job now, and this franchise wm guarantee it continuance, with no raise ol fares. Thi tor fire years. At the end of that time, if the peo ple on deck then want to end7 tbe franchise, they can do so. This is only fair and decent. If yon were in their place, would you want to risk such a venture, in volving a great deal of money, without some assurance that yoa would have a "run for your money" tor at least five years? S S You would want it for a longer time, unless you had a very-large bank account and were reckless in the use of it. noiseurs The congregation was arriving, an1 ihtmrum marked their m an- ner, which was quite different t si.zoe.vow. repregenung ooiu from the dignity shown by them Physical and franchise values.
