Alvin Wowsley, na tional commander of the American Legion, issued the following Armis tice Day message, : 'Armistice Day is observed as the anniversary of the ending of the world war. But mole and greater than that it is the day-of the begin- ning of peace, and therefore it is to be celebrated in no uncertain fashion ; as a day ot hope and high ambition, We have Memorial Day for the hero dead, for a backward thought of the greatness of the days pone by. Let Armistice Day be a day for the living-, for looking forward upon high adventures and achievements yet to come. "In this America of our especially, the Day of the Beginning of (Peace ts a day of exaltation of the spirit; for we are a nation of builders, and the works of peace are the glory of a free people. With the coming of peace there is an end of destruction and of tearing- down.

Let us then be glad and proud in this resolve, that every observance of the Armistice shall serve as a milestone along the up ward road of peaceful progress. "Vet on this fateful eleventh day of the elevnth month it would be well, that on the stroke of the elev enth hour one solemn moment be set aside for prayer ami a silent giv ing of thanks, that freedom still en dures upon this earlli through sac rifice. I have the honor of speak ing for a great organization of Am erican citizens whose faith in Amer ica has been proven through hard j endurances: men who have come through struggle in war to a clear oonoention of the spiritual glory to the service- to America. In the spir it of these men let us say: to our Immortal dead that a-hitP romnanv oi sninine souih whu cave their vouth that the, world might grow old in peace. - Amen.'"

What followed Armis- ! tice, lflifi, has probably been more ! disappointing, more distressing, than the days of actual warfare precedir.2 it. Soldiers returned to a new world, filled with jealousies, contentions and greed. Those who sought to profit from the war did not t ease in this sel- fish purpose after the actual fighting had censed. One of the hardest things the returned soldier faced was the disillusionment whi h came w ith the aftermath.

R1TNER MAY 8E T OF M SENATE Local Man Seems in Strategic Position; Cusick's Defeat Causes Shake in Line Up. KUBLI WILL. BE SPEAKER OF NEXT LOWER HOUSE Tax Revision , Will be Keen Issue at Coming Session Mandate of People Plain. Representative K. K. Kubli ot Mul tomah county, will be the next speak er of the house in Salem and. Senator Boy W. Itltner may again wield the gavel in tho senate. Though no cam paign has been underway in behalf ot Itltner he Is In a strategic position that may easily cause htm to be tho logical man to head tho senate once more. The certainty of Kuhll as speaker does much to eliminate Sen- Moer as an Rsplrant for preul- deney of tho senate, both men being from tho same town. Until election day Senator Cuslck of Linn county was regarded as having tho backing of Kastern Oregon senators for the presidency. But Cuslck was decisive ly beaten and the Kastern Oregon men huve us yet gono to no one else. Seni a tor Kddy of western Oregon, Is groomed us a candidate but he is in a situation that may prove difficult lor him. He was a vitriolic opponent of Walter Pierce for governor and pre sumable Is unfavorable to the: Pierce program of tax reform. Bltnor on tho other hand, while a supporter of Ol cott Iu the election, is personally friendly to the governor-elect.1 and roady to work for tax,, relief. Ha therefore stands out as seemingly the best bet for senate president when the subject is viewed from the stand point of the producing sections of the state. The tax subject looms clearly as tho great issue before tho comlnj session for tho legislators have a plain mandate from the people to get busy upon this subject.
