Cnnrem'ina Republicanism The Oregonian takes exception to the Capital Journal's editorial assertion that there wag too much harmony and too much abstract shouting about republicanism at Monday's or ganization meeting of the republican state central commit tee here to provide the basis for an effective campaign for the party s Individual nominees in rjovemrjer. Characterizing the "first complaint" as childish, the Old Lady of the Alder street tower of mm there would be talk of nlntlm meeUna-. The various county committeemen who were dele gates at Salem were elected as republicans to form a state republican or ganisation. Was It to be expected iney the new deal and the new aeai paruaans wno are uie uuuu sees for Important offices in this state? No, the Capital Journal would not expect or approve of a ornnn of reDublican delegates who shouted the praises of the new deal. But neither can it enthusiasm to the support of didates who have nothing more thev are renublicans. Republicanism, says the Oregonian, is the belief in "sound, stable and just government for all equally, wi.th laws to be administered for everybody, . . .," whatever that may mean. If Rufus Holman, Charlie Sprague, Jimmy Mott, Earl Snell, Homer Angell and the lesser republican candidates can sell themselves to a majority of the voters on a program like that in opposition to the alluring promises of new deal larg ess they will indeed be miracle cal deception. As a sincere tip to some of Capital Journal ventures the advice that the less they have to say about such abstract and obtuse things as "republican ism ' the better will be their chances or success in wovemDer. It might also suggest to some democrats that it will take more than idle mouthings about the new deal to convince the oeoole of Oregon of their qualifications for office. When "republicanism" comes to signify in the public mind something more than a ated order of things political andidates to tie themselves to e , , A Deserved Tribute Decision of the state capitol reconstruction commission to hold dedication ceremonies 1, Governor Martin s seventy - deserved recognition of the important part played by the gov ernor is securing for Oregon new state house. In his appreciation of the aesthetic, his recognition of the symbolic value of governmental buildings and his insistence upon a structure befitting a great and growing common wealth In design, materials and setting, Governor Martin is chiefly responsible for Oregon ernment. When moss grown reactionaries were advocating replacement of the old state house with a log cabin and others were urging the rehabilitation of the fire-gutted walls of the ruined building, he was publicly campaigning for a magnifi cent structure on the hilltops It was his refusal to tolerate miserly and short-sighted proposals which blocked legislative efforts to reduce the cap itol appropriation to a grossly inadequate figure. It was his energy and initiative which secured a favor able WPA grant for the project kept the architectural competition open to the greatest art ists in that line. Largely it has been his unstinted cooperation that has smoothed the path of the commission and left it free to func tion with a minimum of political interference. The beautiful new capitol is a material contribution of the governor's administration to the advancement of the state he loves and has served unselfishly and well. It was kindly thought of the commission to seek to honor him at its dedication.

(Angora Journal) When you men of large affairs are looking for an office boy, they come to you with stacks of recommenda tions that a Jack rabbit could not Jump over. You select the most like ly applicant, probably place him un der bond and then put him to work sweeping out your offices and run ning your errands. Out on the range, however, the system em ployed Is somewhat different. When we need a aheep herder, we gener ally take the first one who comes along; lack of time to fill the posi tion makes us easier to suit. We ask of him no references he has none. We require of him no bond he could not get anyone to act as sur ety. We take him simply on faith In his kind. We put In his charge ten to twenty thousand dollars In livestock; we furnish him with a few potatoes and beans, a little ba con, flour, coffee, sugar maybe a little garlic and we start him out In the open spaces, into the moun tain and the forest, where the foot of man has seldom trod. His only companions are the ever-patient burro, and the ever-faithful collie; the only sound that greets his ears Is the bleating of the sheep by day and the mournful wail of the coyote. In his humble, unobtrusive way, he helps to feed the hungry, not with some patent breakfast food of screenings and sawdust, but with nature's most nourishing and ten der morsel, the spring lamb. He helps to clothe the risked, not with shoddy, but with virgin wool. Aye, and I imagine he would also give drink to the needy, If one were to meet up with him on Uie range, when he Is carrying anything on the hip. And when the cruel bullet of the cowardly bandit lays him low, the tribute that Is paid to him, the ben ediction that Is pronounced upon him, Uie dirge that Is sung for htm, Uie epitaph that is written for him Is "It's a good thing It was only a sheep herder."

News Behin mmima BvPaulMallon Bdltert: PoUowlnc Is s pereonel ntmolr o the dliUltuioemenl ol an eaeer youns liberal who came to Washington sod learned Paul Halloa, Waahinstoo. News Behind the Senate Neva By Rush Holt United States Senator from W. Vlr. - (World copyright 1938 by King Features Syndicate, all rights re served. Reproduction In full or In part strictly prohibited.) Washington, July 311 am listed aa a critic of the administration. I am the only democrat who has had all of his patronage taken away from him. I am not consulted by the Inner circle or the purging squad. I am happier than many of the select who have Jobs and more Jobs because I can vote Indepen dently for the things I believe to be for the general welfare. I came to the United States sen ate in 1935 believing that those in Washington who proclaimed their devoUon to the people were actually trying to do something for the downtrodden, the so-called under third. It was a sad disillusionment to find that 'the political angle was of more Importance than Improving the lot of those unfortunate. I have always been proud to call myself a liberal. To many I have been considered a radical. I look ed to the new deal as a liberal pro gram. To find the politician In control was not a happy conclusion. Someway He's Happier One who is not free from the pa tronage pressure can realize how much happier he is without the problem. I hear a chorus of "sour grapes." If It be "sour grapes, indeed some of the unhappy should try It. I can say that no man who Involves himself In patronage tangles can be as happy as Uie one without these difficulties. Many who have accepted posi tions from a department are not going to do anything that would make the personnel director or the head of that department persona non grata. I do not mean that they will do anything wrong to protect Uie Jobs given but they are going to avoid an act that might be consid ered hostile. It is Just as easy, much easier to "go along." Furthermore, there Is a local an gle to the patronage problem. Some feel that they must have Jobs to give their deserving political work ers back In the state. If they do not, the story will go the rounds that they do not have power or Influence In Washington and that they should be replaced by others who could get the Jobs. This creates a feeling that it is better to go along. We all would like to see our friends employed. That Is why patronage Is such an Important Is sue with members of congress or anyone else interested In Uie con duct of government. Politics Swayed Him I was talking to an appointee of a member of the senate who said: "My . senator would like to have voted with your group today but you know he Is a candidate and Just felt that he shouldn't. You know he couldn't be of any service If he was n't re-elected." Such Is Uie story! The outstanding members of the senate are the men who represent Ideas and Ideals. That has been the case tn the past. By differences of opinion, this country has profited. We got different viewpoints be cause the senators could express themselves without thinking that the speech would mean the loss of a project, a federal grant or some other favor to the state. They could talk without having the people of their state punished for an expression. Congress will not do Its best work under fear of purges and punishment Another Incident may interest you. One senator said to another: "I would like to amend this bill by changing a certain section." The other replied: "That change would help the bill but If I accepted that amendment, I would be annihilated by Lewis (speaking of John L.) at Uie next election." The amendment was not In the bill. I wonder whe ther the senator Is as secure In his own self respect as he thinks he Is with Uie chance of re-election. Deprived of Patronage I hear members and others say "Rush, you have to play politics. If you don t, you won stay here long." I have said to them: "Was I wrong? Did I misrepresent anything?" In variably Uie answer has been, "of course not but you Just can't do those things." Why? . I believe in the American people I know that the people will rise up to sweep out those who have I HATE TO "BUT MY3TU1L MONTHS AGING MAKES ME A IAGER BEER It's worth bragging about I Because (uuunree 01 irue lager Deer is world-renowned.

France, (At the Span ish Frontier) July 21 (P) Insur gents unleashed a general offensive In eastern, central and southern Spain today against government lines weakened by Generalissimo Francisco Franco's steady drive to ward Valencia. The scream of shells over , long besieged Madrid signalled the re newal of large-scale warfare In all sections of Spain. Government reports said insur gent batteries poured 500 shells on the capital's battered buildings in a few hours. r Government General Jose Miaja's veteran troops, drawn from central and southern fronts, were concen trated In eastern Spain for the de fense of Valencia, where they were being beaten back slowly along the Teruel-Medlterranean highway by mechanized Italian units In des perate battles which took heavy tolls. Insurgent dispatches reported gains up to six miles in the first day's fighting along the Tagus river south of Madrid and in Estre-Ma-dura province In southwestern Spain. Military observers were astonished by Uie extraordinary array of planes, tanks and heavy artillery Franco was able to dispatch to those two fronts while aparently devoting his full powers to the Valencia cam paign. War bulletins reported troops were attacking on all fronts behind massed tanks whose way waa clear ed for them by airplane squadrons cooperating with long-range ar UUery. Union Parade, Picnic, Week-end Feature A full week-end of activity will start Saturday for union locals In Salem, with a parade starting at 9 p. m. at Marlon park for a march through the main streets.

How ever, It is a much happier position than of those who play pdlitics at Uie expense of their own consclen Uous belief. I have had patronage, a little, very little. I have been with the ma jority. I am now deprived of all patronage. I am many times with the minority. I am happier because I regard my seat In Uie senate as an opportunity to vote for Uie best Interests of my- constituent wtth out fear of being punched. "BRAG. TRUE the mellow wishimtm 5m aaaeiavaeaBa1a.J NOW AVAILABLE ALSO IN CANS I Location of Meteor Known For 56 Years Myrtle Point, July 20 (Pi Noted geologists who aought the long missing Port Orford meteor for year probably felt a little upset to day when Robert Harrison, pioneer miner, announced he had known its location since 1882, Harrison first saw the great rock he believes to be Uie meteor when, as a boy of 14, he accompanied his father Into the Salmon mountain range. They met Dr. C. D. Elgin who located a nickel claim In a gulch drained by Poverty creek. After Dr. Elgin's deeth, Harrison found the claim again in 1900 largely because he recalled the pres ence of a hard, heavy stone, rich In nickel ore. He sent a specimen to Dr. J. F. Dillar, federal geologist, who urged him to send the whole rock, undoubtedly a meteor, to Uie Smithsonian museum. The miner, who estimated the rock was burled deeply in the ground and weighed 15 or 20 tons, said he was offered no financial as sistance and promptly forgot Uie proposal. His interest in the rock was revived by publicity about the meteor last winter. Harrison said the rock was about one and a quarter miles from the U S. Chromium. Inc., camp. It Is about 30 or 40 miles southeast of Port Orford and about 12 miles from Powers and five miles from the forest service road at China flats. The rock apparently sliced through Bald Knob and descended Into the gulch where Uie years have covered it with undergrowth.

July 31 U.R Douglas Gores Corrigan, hero of a "wrong direction" flight from New York to Ireland, booked a passage home to day aboard Uie United States liner Manhattan, sailing from Queens- town on July 30. The Manhattan will arrive on August 5 In New York where Cor rigan will be welcomed in the man ner reserved for heroes. It was assumed Corrigan would take along his antiquated $900 plane. In which he has so much pride that he said "She's good enough to fly around the world." Corrigan was reluctant to end his 'party" because he was having a good Ume and there were a lot of things he would like to see and do. One of Uie things he ssld he would like to do would be to visit London and have a chat with King George and Queen Elisabeth. The "unemployed" California air plane mechanic appeared deter mined that his beloved nine-year-old "crate" would go with him on Uie Manhattan. Irish authorities gave It back to him after he prom ised not to attempt a flight back across the Atlantic. There were report around Bal donnel airport, where Corrigan landed Monday with Uie nonchal ant announcement, "I Just came from New York," that Uie nine-year-old "crate" would be exhibited at the Smithsonian institution In Wash ington where Col. Charles A. Lind bergh's "Spirit of St Louis" has been viewed by thousands. Corrigan waa having a good tun in Dublin. "I'm trying to arrange it so that my plane will be taken back to the United State on the same ship on which I'm sailing." he said. "First of all, I'd like to visit Lon don for a day or two before sailing so that I can visit all Uie English airplane factories, and If possible see Uie king and queen." Meanwhile, aviation's newest ce lebrity turn down hundreds of of fers from all over Uie world to write newspaper articles about his flight, and to appear in vaudeville and movies. Among Uie film offers was one from Darryl Zanuck of 20th Century-Fox films. The offers poured Into the United States legation where Corrigan 1 making his home, but so far be has turned all of them down. 'I'll wait until I get home and then see what I'll do about them," he said.
