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.

"Oh, I remember a pretty

must be a stunning widow. Will
ahe be here for dinner?"
"Yes, she and the Haynes and
Ned Hubert; Neu'u wife Is In Can

They arrived a moment later;
only a few moments after that, Pa

In her mind as a flirt who would
practice on anything Jn trousers, ir

matrimonial servitude, in order to

sweet to Carol, and clung to Keith
with both hands clasped around

"Keith, dear, who do you

They were standing rather apart
from the others; Patricia was the
only one within earshot. She glanc

picswion on Keith's face, and
turned away again, her mind rush

controlled locomotive. Why should
Keith bo so tremendously interest

unexpectedly, just as dessert -was

"I certainly wish I knew how it'fi

and he and Ned Hubert were deep

was to be built near some mines
In which they were interested. "It

"There's only one man In this

Hubert answered, "That's Greg

"Oh, do you mean the C. and V.

"Gregory Hewitt told me yesterday
that work is to be begun at once
