FULL LEASED WIRE SERVICE OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AND THE UNITED PRESS The Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to the use for publication of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited In this paper and also local news published herein, 'Without or with offense to friends or foes 1 sketch your world exactly as it goes." Byron Two Weddings Tuesday the daughter of John F. Curry, leader of Tam many Hall, was married with the splendor and pomp of a daughter of the old nobility. Among the guests were former Governor Alfred E. Smith, both United States senators from New York, Mayor Walker and federal, state and municipal officials of high rank. Pope Pius cabled his blessings from Rome. This is not surprising for the boss of Tammany, al though his official job is only that of a Commissioner of Records of the Surrogate Court, weilds a far greater power in his controUof the political destinies of the metropolis of the new world, with its budget second only to the national government, than any other individual of the country. The wedding is reminiscent of another wedding nearly 40 years ago, when the daughter of Boss Tweed, then at the height of his power, was married in Trinity Chapel. Most of the celebrities of the Empire state were present. Tweed gave the bride f25,000. His friends sent her forty silver sets and diamonds galore. The New York Herald said : The wedding presents, displayed In a grand showroom were glorious to behold. They represented In cash $700,000 a display of wedding pres ents unsurpassed by tha collection of the celebrated Ovledo diamond wedding, or of any occasion of the kind ,we dare say, since the marriage, two or three years ago of the daughter of the Khedive of Egypt, and completely eclipsing the Jewelry presents to the British Princess Louise, on the occasion of her union with the heir of the great Scottish Duke of Argyll, seven hundred thousand dollars! , However the blessing of the Pope was not received, for Tweed was a Protestant and a Mason and of Scotch descent. Nevertheless, he was a remarkable man, which only the ruthless age in which he flourished could have produced. Though he stole a sum estimated at $30,000,000 from the New York City treasury,, and his total peculations are esti mated to have reached $200,000,000, his pilferings were simply a reflex of what was going on in the national govern ment and in the country at large. It was the golden age of graft. To Tweed, Tammany owes its tiger emblem'. To him it owes its bi-partisan control of politics for he dominated the Republican party as well as the Democratic. The money masters of America were his staunch supporters. Gover nors, judges, legislators, mayors and financiers jumped when he cracked his whip and his control of the press for years was absolute. He finally over-reached himself and it was a journalist, George Jones of the New York Times and a member of his own party, Samuel J. Tilden, that brought about his downfall, imprisonment and death in prison. . The political machine that Tweed built' still lives and flourishes, still dominates the metropolis, but its methods have been refined and civilized and its grafting scientifically systematized and equalized. Instead of the elegant A. Oak ley Hall with his snobbery and affectations, we have a simi lar mayor in Jimmy Walker, who with his wise-cracks and foppishness much resembles his predecessor. We also have subdued replicas of other celebrities of the Tweed era adorn ing the councils of the new wigwam for human nature does not change and Tammany has mastered the lessons of its control, and made a satisfied populace pay hundreds of mil lions for the privilege. ASKS DAMAGES FOR INJURIES IN CANNERY FIGHT That Oregon's workmen's compen sation act 1 the most liberal to laborers of any state in tha union Is contended in a brief filed in cir cuit court by James W. Mott In the case or George W, Glut Her against the accident commission growing out of an accident to Olnther at the Woodburn cannery. The claim for compensation was peculiar Inasmuch as Ginther's injuries are alleged to have grown out of a fight with a fellow employe at the cannery and Ginther alleges that this accident occurred during the course of his employment. The accident com mission brief alleged that It did not and cites numerous decisions from other cases to prove its contention. On the other hand the brief for Ginther declares "no other work men's compensation act contains specific statutory direction to the effect that the act shall be liberally construed for the benefit of the injured workman and no other act so strongly Implies that the ques tion for consideration of responsi bility for the injury is. not a ques tion for consideration. This statu tory implication has been supple mented by the" .court by positive declaration. We believe the only question under our broad and un restructlve statute are: Was the In jured man employed at the time and in light of all the facts discovered after the Injury? Can the cause of the injury be traced even remotely i or indirectly to the employment?"! Fo rum Contributions to this col umn must be confined to 300 words and signed by writer. BUT ALL 1 WANTED WAS WANTED THE ROOF FIXED Forward and Back Defending Mr. Hoover for seeking to inaugurate a pol icy of economy in public expenditures after having launched a campaign of spending to restore prosperity, and for re fusing to accept leadership on the tariff the Orcgbnian says: Such crises as have arisen do not perturb Hoover; he thrives on them. He fnnsht fnmln 3ci.iu.n, he organized America to save food, hr. :igrit both famine and plague In central Europe after the war. Com- pared with those, the political encounters now before him are simple. Yes, but in these citied instances, Mr. Hoover was clothed with autocratic powers and provided unlimited money belonging to others. His word was law and it was final. There is a great deal of difference between adminis tering a fund unhampered, and administering a democratic government whose policies he must take the lead in formu lating. In the one no politics enter, in the latter politics control. - Mr. Hoover was on the right track when he advocated government expenditures for construction and development in periods of financial depression to provide work for the unemployed. This he has repeatedly done, but when Con gress and the people take him at.his word and seek appro priations to carry out the presidential program, he suddenly reverses himself in a fit of Coolidge economy, and calls a halt. ; Mr; Hoover not only urged Congress but all the 48 states to get busy and spend money. As he knew well the program of expansion outlined cannot be undertaken with out money and that means additional taxation. Yet when faced by this additional taxation, he reverses himself over night. If the President balks at his own program how can he expect the states to stand the gaff? What becomes of his program for taking up the slack, paying high wages, and keeping everybody employed? - It Is a well known fact that prosperity does not depend upon economy. On the contrary it depends upon spending. It is the wasters who create prosperity, not the tightwads. When everybody upends, times are good. When everybody saves and refuses to spend, times are hard, and every indus try feels the effect of diminished buying power, from the manufacturer down through the retailer to the people, and unemployment increases. . ' It is such conditions the country now faces. It would seem that the government should take the load in public expenditures and help the people in tho crisis. Now if ever, it is justifiable, for whatever deficit incurred will soon be made up by returning prosperity. If this is the best the miracle man can do in waging his magic wand to nbolish poverty, as promised in his campaign to advance and then retreat, to advocate and then repudiate, give us a politician instead of a great engineer, for we will at least know where we are going. Mr. Hoover may not be perturbed and may thrive on such crises as the nation faces but the people are not nly perturbed but not thriving. tTd the Editor: Henry t'ord has accumulated about one thousand million dollars within twenty years and now proposes to give one tenth of it ($100,000,000 for educational purposes ostensibly to succor young men, but In reality to erect a monu ment to the memory of Ford. The majority of people will hon or Ford as a philanthropist, for getful of the fact that no one could accumulate even the amount he Is bequeathing to the public within an Individual's business career, and at the same time remain absolutely true to himself. It may be true that Ford dldnt take as much profit from the public on his car as other manufatcurers were taking. It may be true that Ford sold a better car for the money than others were selling. But the fact remains that he was taking an unreasonable profit from the people. No one ever got out of a car the amount of money he put into it and the same can truthfully be said of all farm and other machinery. At least SO per cent of It must be charged off against pride and pleas ure. The class of people who has purchased Ford's cars has become poorer every year and thousands of them are unable to replace the old Ford which has proved the greatest bill of expense of the family. Ford is now tithing his exVn-tedly swol len fortune, maybe in an attempt to ease his conscience, and while the world applauds him as a great benefactor the rightful owners of nine hundred millions of Ford's wealth are the Individuals who have purchased the Ford products.

Lucky Mother no damage was done in the border city the principal Intensity ap parently centering about ' this area. The heaviest damage In West moreland occured to a pharmacy which was warped and cracked by the shocks. The proprietor estima ting his loss at $800. After five hours of quet, another shock was felt about 9:45 a. m. It was short in duration. C. M. Hancock, Westmoreland businessman, said it was difficult to estimate the damage but be lieved that other than the partial destruction of the pharmacy, the principal loss would be cracked walls and plaster, broken dishes and shattered windows. Hancock said it was the long est earthquake since 1915 when a similar repetition of shocks was felt throughout the valley. The usual character of the quakes is one to three shocks. The earthquake apparently was confined wholly to Imperial valley. A canvass of telephone, telegraph and railroad on tees disclosed ports of shocks -only in Imperial valley. No damage was caused to any communication lines. TIIR MEDICINE MAN By MARY GRAHAM BONNER "I've turned the time back this evening," said the Little Black Clock, and no sooner had he said so than It seemed as though In a mere twinkling the whole scene had changed. "Indians!" shouted John. "Hur rah! We're going to see the Indians again." There were quite a few Indians around and as Peggy looked she saw one little girl who was acting as though she felt very poorly. Her manner reminded Peggy of the way she acted when she did not feel well all quiet and without much spirit. She's having the Medicine Man," "My success with Betty Jean isnt Just luck," says Mrs. D. H. Keating, 1318 Hays St., San Antonio. "It is due to a plan. "She na.1 escaped the ui-eirecis of colds and upseta because, at the tint sign of a cold; of bad breath. coated tongue or feverish ness, I open her bowels with Call torn is Fig Syrup. She loves its taste and X like its gentle, thorough action." Mothers by thousands praise Cal ifornia Fig Syrup. For fifty years physicians have endorsed this pure vegetable product. It tones and strengthens stomach and bowels; stimulates appetite; encourages di gestion and assimilation. Its use helps make sallow, listless children rosy and energetic.

It made her very miserable even to tntnk oi any one having to take that horrible stuff, and she felt quite certain that was what they were going to give tier. Of course It was a little bit bet ter than having to take It herself, and yet not very much better. In fact It made her feel quite unhap py to tnink' of the little Indian girl naving to swauow castor on. I suppose," said Peggy, "they'll mix It up with something and tell ner it isn't castor on." "Or that she won't Dosslbl be able to taste It," added John, "Nothing like that." said the Lit tle Block Clock, "although she is going to have the doctor, as we would say.

It was true they could hear him sing but was that the way he start ed to treat a patient? Peggy thought It was a grand Idea.

We USUALLY think of newly laun dered things as pure white. Bui the truth is (bat most of the time they are not white at ill. Some times they are gray, sometimes they are yellow, snd sometimes they are even blue. It all depends on the soap. White things will emerge from washing absolutely white if they are washed with a soap that is absolutely pure. And White K.iog. Granulated Soap is the purest soap made.

AEROPLANE f pilots tell us that their cour age, their whole attitude toward flying, varies from day to day, with the way they feel. If they feel full of pep, healthy, they can try anything; nothing fright ens them. Their nerve is unshak en; their skill keen; their flying is machine-Hke in its perfection. It ii an entirely different story, however, if they wake up in the morning feeling sick, down in the mouth. Then fly ing becomes a real danger. What is the matter with these brave people when they are not up to par? The natural poisons in their bodies have not been swept away. They are allowing theirbrainsto be clouded and dulled by poisons which should not be permitted to remain in the body.
