In Oregon, the toll in tuberculosis deaths in 1923
was 623, and the best estimates indicate that about 5000
people in the state are afflicted. Tuberculosis is now
characterized by leading specialists as a preventable, cur­
able disease, and one that need not menace the lives of our
citizens if known measures of prevention and proper liv­
ing arc put into practice.
The chief object of the Christmas Seal Sale is to fi­
nance the educational campaign which will help equip
the general public with such information about the main-
tainance of their health, that tuberculosis shall he ulti­
mately eliminated as a destrover of mankind.
BIG CHRISTMAS TRADE ANTICIPATED
Merchants and retailers are preparing this year for
the largest Christinas in their history. The famous “ silk
shirt” Christinas of J919, when the country went into an
unparalleled era of buying at extravagant prices, will be
bettered, according to forecasts, but the character of the
1924 Christmas will be vastly different. In 1919 the rush
of silk shirts carried the silk business into a billion-dollar
year, making the first time that any country had taken
leadership in silk purchases from the Chinese. This year,
even at lower price levels, business men look for a total
volume of sales that will exceed the 1919 record, largely
from flannels, woolen goods, broadcloths, pongees, etc.,
instead of silk.

CALLES IS PRESIDENT
Humanitarians the world over have nothing hut good
will for the agrarian movement in Mexico. And so, the
good will of most of the world goes to General Calles, who
now assumes the presidency of Mexico.
It would not he wrong to add, however, that distrust
accompanies this good will like a baleful shadow.
For the agrarian movement, demanding that those
who cultivate the soil shall own it, assumes on the part
of the Mexican cultivator an ability to manage himself
and his property that self governing communities in all
parts of the world have possessed, while the Mexican
rarely or never has.
The man who manages his own affairs, either indus­
trially or politically, cannot be of the “ mamma” kind.
So, it President Calles, in his vigorous pursuit of a
jiolicy to distribute the ownership of land among the cul­
tivators, finds that Ins people can not only dig and spend,
but calculate, and look ahead, and prepare for a rainy as
well as a happy and workless “ tomorrow,” he will have
introduced a new meaning to the word “ manana” in
Mexican.
Mhile supported hv the Mexican army, Calles has
an additional advantage in being respected bv a larger
share ot the Mexican people than any predecessor for
many years. He is “ popular” in this sense, even though
his election was a farce, in the sense that elections are
popular in the United States.
It is a peculiar function that President Obregon has
assigned to himself, in retiring from office. He is to go
into private life, he is quoted as saying, in this manner:
“ From my estates, I shall watch like an alert sen­
tinel, ready at any moment to otter my slight services
should any criminal hand imperil the liberties of the Mex­
ican people ”
Perhaps the most interested man in Mexico in that
statement will he the new president. A parallel, in the
policies ot the I nited States, is presented by the succes­
sion of Taft to Roosevelt, and the jealous eye with which
Taft regarded the movements as well as the suggestions
of his predecessor. Obregon, in office, could help to pick
his successor. Obregon. out of office, will not find it so
easy to accord full support to the particular political
movements of the new man, and the new man will have a
mind to show what he can do, without interference from
.his maker .
The situation is fraught with irritation, and possible
danger.

Aside from tlie im portant fac­
