After Frederick Steiwer, republican nominee at
the primary election for United States senator, has
been called for months The Oregonian’s hand-picked
candidate, it has been recalled that the Oregon Jour­
nal was the' very first newspaper in the whole state
to suggest Steiwer’as a man of senatorffil calibra who
would make a formidable contender.
.
The first newspaper encouragement for Steiw er
to enter the race came from the Journal. I t gave a
most laudatory article to Steiwer July 12, 1925, 'this
being the first newspaper mention of S teiw er’a name
in connection with the senatorship.
A t once a number of up-state papers referred by
name to the Journal as having spoken well of Steiw er
as a possible candidate and these papers encouraged
his boom. Other articles, signed as was the first, by
the Journal’s political editor, appeared in that paper,
each one helping along the boost it had started for
Steiw er Numerous other papers o f various parts of
Oregon joined in editorial indorsement of his candi­
dacy.
~ . .

.
Steiwer announced his intent to seek the nomina­
tion October 17 of last year and four days later the
Journal started an editorial with the sentence: “ Mr.
Steiwer, of Pendleton, who announced his candidacy
for the senate, is a genial and able m an.”
More newspapers throughout the state then in­
dorsed Steiwer as good senatorial timber and a num­
ber became enthusiastic, for him, givin g him warm
editorial support. B y the end of February,’ 1926, a
large group of Oregon papers were' committed to
Steiwer.
It was not until March 13 that The Orqgonian
came out for him, five months after the Journal had
said editorially he was a genial and able man and
eight months after the Journal had set the feet of
Steiwer on the path to the senate___ ___ _ _ l _____ . . . . . .
For campaign purposes the Journal npw says
Steiwer was hand-picked by Thé Oregonian. The
Journal deserves the credit and not The Oregonian.
orooms AND MAKR1AGK
Here now is a proposition for legislation, spon­
sored by a woman’s organisation, com pelling a man
about to marry to prove liis economic standing and
his mental capacity first, and requiring a would-be
bride to show that she could support her self and her
Children if her husband died. Both are,excellent ideas.
The man who marries ought to be able to support a
family, and a widow with young children on her hands
who can take care of herself and them w ithout
assistance,has a position of independence which is
worth while. R ut why laws ftn the subject? Do we
really need any more laws of any sort?
Such matters w ay fairly be left to the individual.
No doubt a man ought not to marry recklessly. But
he might make a very good husband and father tho
he took financial chances when he married and could
not measure up to some legislative standard of in­
come. As for women, the number o f them who are un­
able to earn their own livin g if called upon to do so
is comparatively small in these days.
ALL WORLD’S A DIAMOND ,
All the world’s a diamond and all the men and
women merely fans now that the titanic struggle for
the world’s baseball championship has started. It
¡8 ever thus when autum n’s tints are on the leaves
and work becomes burdensome during the latter half
o f the afternoon. To basetall followers in every part
of the United States the playing o f the world series
typifies all the superlatives of perfection in the great
national pastime, and their interest in the series never
wanes until the final decision is rendered.
It matters not whether the fans live in the cities
whose teams are clashing for baaebaUdom’s stellar
honors or whether they have their habitat in even the
most isolated of villages, the same keen, enthusiastic
intrest is all-prevailing. Baseball truly can be term­
ed the great Amrican sport, and the number of par­
ticipants who eugage in the playing of it at some tim e
ot ether during the season is far in excess o f the
npwber indulging in auy other form, of pthletic di­
version. It is a clean, wholesome sport, and no better
Ils could be given to the season’s windup than the
tying of the world series contests.

dock who is frequently referred
to ee “ the beet dressed man in
England,” landed here . recently
and in the course of the usual In­
terviews indicated -that he ‘ con­
sidered the Prince of Wales a
somewhat sloppy dresser. He
gave
a number of , Instances
which proved that Wales is tar
more concerned w ith comfort
than w ith style and that he fre­
quently outrages convention by
wearing “Impossible” combina­
tions.
However, Captain M ur­
dock hastened to say, the Prince’s
good looks aad his genial per­
sonality put him in the position
of being able to Do no sartorial
evil and his idlest whimsies were*
as a result, eagerly copied by
