There are lessons for the victors, as well as for the vanquished in an election. The La Follette people have learned that the sort of appeal the Wisconsin senator has made to the people of the United States does not get new votes. It does not win. But the Coolidge people, the close group of political advisers of the President, can well look closely over the results of the Coi rressional contests. They should otice that Nebraska has voted for the President. It has .Iso voted for Senator Norris. They should notice that Idaho has voted for Coolidge. But also for Borah. They should notice that Congress is in a position to be independent of any sweep toward anyone. The sweep toward Harding was an expression of determination of the people of the United States to have Harding rather than Jimmy Cox President. It did not mean that they had swallowed the personal opinions of the Harding group. It will be well for Prseident Coolidge, who has been bo astute in fathoming the concealed forces of American public opinion, to revise his feelings about the Mellon tax proposals. There is a clack going about the country, to strength­ en the notion that lower taxes will make people more honest. It is not convincing. If taxes are 'unfairly high, they should be reduced. But to say that a man who cheats the government in his tax return, if he is charged 50 per cent, will cheat the government if he is charged only 30 per cent, is a strain on even credulous human nature. Let’s fix the taxes right, and then take proper steps to see that those who should pay the taxes, pay them. The Mellon tax plan proposed a reduction of taxes to tax evaders. No possible movement in the CentTâl West could move this foundation of Democratic strength. No possible movement in the Central West could pre­ vent the Democratic party managers moving, during the next two years, to make their party the basis for opposi­ tion to the Republican administration, whatever sins of omission or commission it may make, • The La Follette movement may continue to be a party of “ education,” as the Prohibitionist, the Socialist and others have been. It can never be a party to win and hold office. Unless it can run the Democratic party out of the South. The Progressive party movemnet in 1912 was an at­ tempt to substitute itself for the Republican position. It failed. The “ Progressive” party movement (permit­ ting La Follette to seize the name he repudiated in 1912) in 1924, was an attempt, with the connivance of Samuel Gompers, and the Bryan Democrats of the Central West, to substitute itself for the Democratic party. It has equal chances of failure. A BAD LOSER In a Post-election statement La Follette says: “ We have not been defeated but overwhelmed^ for the time be­ ing by the use of slush funds, intimidation, technical ob­ struction and the abuse of power in securing a place for independent electors on the ballot,” and so on. How reckless, false and characteristic a statement! Does La Follette imagine he. can make anybody believe that the American people did not vote their free choice! Of course they voted that choice. La Follette was defeated—and his candidacy very largely contributed to the overwhelming defeat of Davi^ —because the American people know La Follette for what he is. They were willing to take no chances in their voting. Now, finding himself completely repudiated and isolated, La Follette rages and complains. La Follette is a bad loser. Another admirable thing about the air force is that it doesn’t wear spurs. That bloom of youth in the school girl complexion never ran back of the ears and above the eyebrows. In France, pedestrians hit by autos are sent to jail. On this side of the Atlantic, they are sent to the morgue. The only way to save our fur bearing animals is to leach them to shave. Pioneering in Southern Oregon by G. B. Watson (Continued from November 8) Then follows the following order, to-wit: “ That each precinct within this county shall be entitled to one justice of the peace and one constable; PROVIDED, how, ever, that the precincts of Jacksonville and Althouse be and are entitled to two justices of the peace and two con­ stables each.” Then follows the appointment of Tho’s Me F. Patton to be Prosecuting Attorney until his successor is elected and qualified. Richard Dugan was appointed County Treasurer. The Clerk was authorized to procure such seals, with such devices as he might think best, to be used in county business and records. It was then order­ ed that all peddlers be required to pay $12.50 per year license fee. NO CHANCE FOR THIRD PARTY Then came an application to establish a ferry on During the last few weeks, when it became apparent Rogue river, which was granted and the tolls were fixed that it would be impossible for La Follette to carry the to be charged for ferry age.

He knows. Like as not he’ll say: “ Sure, I remember her—but I guess she’s dead. Pretty, she was—clever, too.” When dad was a boy Miss Hopper was a great musical comedy favorite. Today she looks as young as she did twenty-five years ago. And she’s as youthful as she looks. She says the basis of all beauty is a clean skin. Without a clean skin no woman can hold her beauty. Without the daily hath neither men nor women can preserve their youthfulness. A good bathroom, used daily, will do much for your health, youth and good looks. Jerry O’Neal Plumbing . . .
