Dawes' Campaign When Vice-Vresident Dawes,, in his crusade against the senate, speaks of the power of a senate minority to block legislation as "inconsistent with the principals of representa tive government" and pleads for the rule of the majority, he overlooks the fundamental fact that the senate is not now and never was representative of the voters of the United States and was never intended to be. The senate is not proportioned to the population, or New York with'll, 000,000 people would have more to say in it than Nevada with 77,000 people. The senate represents states, regardless of population, and the only way in which a majority of the senate can represent a majority of the people is by rewriting the Constitution. The framers of that document did not believe in majority rule for the senate,- for they provided in vital matters like treaties, over-riding presidential vetoes or amending the Constitution there must be much more than a majority vote. Majority rule is a failure in any government. There must .be more than a majority behind important, legislation or it is ineffective. Filibusters, though confined to a few senators, usually represent a powerful minority and the rights of this minority ought not to be overridden easily, for they are usually states or groups of states forming sections of the country. Mr. Dawes is doomed to failure in his campaign but it serves its purpose in keeping him before the public and reminds people that we have a vice-president. An Ad Story In the Portland Oregonian this morning one firm hud seven pages of advertising, another had five pages, a third had three pages, and a fourth two pages a total of seventeen pages from four firms, besides liberal advertising from other business houses. And this is only a quarter of the story, for the three other Portland newspapers carried a proportionate volume of display from these sume stores. And yet some people say that advertising doesn't pay! Advertising like this is by no means exceptional for the Portland stores, for multi-page ads are far more frequent in Portland papers than page ads are in Salem moreover some of the Portland stores average over a page a day the year around. It is by such advertisig that both the stores and newspapers have become great institutions. The better advertising patronage a newspaper receives, the belter newspaper can be printed. The belter the news paper, the more circulation it attracts. The more circulation the better results for the advertiser. By centering on the newspapers for their advertising expenditures, the smaller city merchants build up the only effective instrument for combating the encroachment of the big city stores and mail order houses and keep the money at homo. The more people the local newspaper reaches, the belter for the merchant. Confirming Mitchell At the instance of Senator King of Utah, W. B. Shearer, experimental expert for the American navy during the world war, has investigated naval conditions on the Pacific and mnde public a report on aviation affairs, which bears out charges of neglect of this important branch of national defense made by Colonel Wm. Mitchell. The United States air servieo standing in size and effec tiveness is found to bo IB percent as compared to 10U percent each for France and Japan and C8 percent for Great Britain. In other words the United States has one-sixth the effective ness in the air of France or Japan and about one-fourth of Great Britain. The history of aviation in the United States is one long record of neglect and waste since its inception. The bone heads of the army and navy cliques in control have always starved and opposed it, since the Wrights wore forced to lake their invention to Europe for development. Compelled to act by the world war, the air service produced the biggest scandal of them all, with a billion dollars expended and not a single airplane built. Since the war, the army and liavy between them have done their utmost to depreciate the new weapon hoping thereby to perpetuate the obsolete battleship and the anachronism of the fortress.

Will ahe be here for dinner?" "Yes, she and the Haynes and Ned Hubert; Neu'u wife Is In Can ada with her people." They arrived a moment later; only a few moments after that, Pa tricia had set Isobel Drake down In her mind as a flirt who would practice on anything Jn trousers, ir respective of utro or condition of matrimonial servitude, in order to koop her hand In. The charming Isobe quite evl tlently wan accustomed to being the center of attraction. She was vap idly sweet to Patricia, gushingly sweet to Carol, and clung to Keith with both hands clasped around ono of his arms. "Keith, dear, who do you ihlnk?" Blio demanded coyly, "I've mado enemies of nil the married women at the club again! Just be cause I won t lie first prize In the -silly little tournament this after noon. They wore simply catty about it said that my handicap's til wrong, and all but Inferred that I cheated. Isn't that simply cruel? If tho prize hadn't been eo ducky! I'd have returned It to them. I was' no hurt!" They were standing rather apart from the others; Patricia was the only one within earshot. She glanc ed around at them, noted tho cx picswion on Keith's face, and turned away again, her mind rush 3 nf nlong a new track like an un controlled locomotive. Why should Keith bo so tremendously interest ed in this silly woman? That he Interested, there could be no possible doubt. Ho had laid one hand over both of hers, nnd the few words that Patricia had heard him murmur bad been rather more than friendly.

Patricia's innings came unexpectedly, just as dessert -was being served. "I certainly wish I knew how it'fi going," Keith remarked; for nn in stant business had claimed Its own, and he and Ned Hubert were deep in the discussion of a railroad that was to be built near some mines In which they were interested. "It means nearly a million to us, that's sure that ia if It goes through." "There's only one man In this part of tho country who can say whether it's to be built or not," Hubert answered, "That's Greg Hewitt, nnd he'll never tell any one. ' "Oh, do you mean the C. and V.
