FULFILLMENT OR REPUDIATION
IRAM JOHNSON is backing Harding for president-be
cause he is against the League fcf Nations. In a state
ment issued at San Francisco July 7, the California sen
ator referred to the league fight as the "all engrossing and
vfcramount, issue." Senator Johnsonoes not claim that the li
il'iior issue a at stake for he knows that neither party "lias made
;ny attack upon theory amendment. ",
lrln the same statement Senator Johnson "refers to tne firm
mtand against the league covenant taken by the Chicago conven
.'tkm and to the affirmative stand taken by the San Francisco
convention in behalf of the league. He, Johnson, supports the
iChicago viewpoint and dislikes the endorsement of the league
jbyhe democratic convention. , , .
f,n Senator Johnson correctly assays the situation. The league
ijssue is the one big thing in the campaign and the only big issue.
iH is right in interpreting the Chicago conventions position as
being an anti league stand. He is right in his view of Harding's
personal position because as a Lodge henchman on the senate
foreign relations committee Senator Harding, was one of the men
lwho kept the senate from ratifying the treaty.
j?pr The coming campaign is going to. be a fight over the League
fof Nations but it involves more than that. It involves the ques
tkwi as to whether this nation shall sustain or repudiate its war
promises. Without objection from republicans or any one else
the nation committed itself to support of the league before we
entered war and after we were engaged in war. We must either
(make good on that promise or else repudiate the obligation. The
;pople will give their verdict in November.

a small ground surrounded by streets,
fencing which Is hltth enough to give
some service ns backstops adds to the
pleasure in games and if traffic is
heavy is essential to safety. ' Especial
ly Is this true with automobile traffic.
When a playground is equipped with
swings and aee-saws, fencing, is neces
sary to prevent it,s use at nignt Dy
undesirables. A fence aiwut a play

The improvements discussed ' above

their importance with possible ques

With the elementary school grounds
improved : as suggested,-' Pendleton
would have some of the finest school
RTounds In the United States and

Present facilities at Round-Up park

activits of young adolcsewnH during

improved for that purpose. A com
plete -year-round recreational system,
however, demands the establishment
nt some centrally located point in tha
city of a municipal recreation build

cause Round-Up park is sitimted nt n

FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT
HE country is tit be felicitated tm the fact that both big
parties have nominated strong men for the vice-presidency.
Governor Coolidge earned fame in rnnectfon
ith the Boston police strike and is plainly an. element of
gxength to the republican ticket. i
Franklin Roosevelt is no less renowned and his reputation
i by no means due to the fact he is a distant relative of the late
polonel.- As a leader in the New York state senate 10 years ago
Franklin Roosevelt came into the limelight when he led a move
that blocked the election of Sheehan, Tammany's choice for the
United States senate..' He served two terms in the. state senate
, nd made such a name for himself that he was appointed assist
ant secretary of the navy in J913. That.position he has held
continuously since that time. He was the navy's second in cpmi
mand during the, war and is given much, of the credit for tjie
excellent record made by ourseafighters. " .
rt At the San Francisco convention Roosevelt was a popular
and conspicuous figure. On the first day -of theponventien jt
vas he who grabbed the New York standard and earned it dur
ing the great McAdoo demonstration. He was the leader of the
5J0 McAdoo men in the New York delegation and these pen were
4 very influential element in the convention. They w'jere made
up largely of up state men and of men who had travelled ex
tensively over the country, thus getting a broader viewpoint
than is held by the average Gothamite. . ."
, Personally, Roosevelt is tall and f good appearance, He
ia verv democratic and makes friends readuv. His wife is a niece
of Colonel Roosevelt and the vice, presidential nominee iiimself
is related to the Astors through his mother.
i At the convention Roosevelt became the logical vice presl
dential choice because he had been a McAdoo. worker and such
a man was wanted on the ticket. Tammany acquiesced in his
selection because of fear he would run for United States senator
from New York.
., - . . ;r .
While at the San Francisco convention the writer talked to
men from Maine, Alabama, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
York, Arizona, California, Wybming, Alaska, Washington, the
Carohnas, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Delaware and other states,
Some of these men were newenaoer workers, others rovernors
senators, common delegates and visitors. The net impression j
gathered is that people of Pendleton and Umatilla county are
about, as well informed on political issues as are others, be they
tygh or low in political station,

No other tubes in the world are road tested on- so
big a scale as Firestones. The Yellow (tab Com-
pany of Chicago uses Firestone Tubes exclusi vely
on its 800 taxicabs. The service of these tubes is
checked constantly improvements and develop
ments are arrived at.
By close watching of a large number ofjtubes in
service-not confined - to isolated instances the
conclusions are accurate, and definite. r ,
Firestone puts the best in materials inta tubes by
establishing purchasing experts at Singapore,
