He has expressed his displeasure at' a campaign through the mails to force his nomination, but this is only in line with his previous declaration. He still fails to state that he will refuse the honor if offered. He has merely discouraged work in his behalf. • White there is no denying Mr. Coolidge’s right to say as little as he pleases on this subject, it is not necessary for him to maintain this attitude of hajrs- tery in the matter. A little frankness would be more creditable even if it,ip to rip more than to admit that he is undecided as to his action in case of an attem pt draft him. ; iWho make great mysteries out of com mon place thipgs are numerous in every community. Instead of keeping silent they drop hints of some impending happening oft winch they cannot speak. CMii(ge might, almost be placed in the same class. In placetof remaining silent or making a frank state- utent_ tye respr|8| to ambiguous statements which may be construed to mean almost anything. » For onto this president* who.has a reputation for silence, has said too much—or else he has said t bo. little. . • . * J , >U P rotect H ighw ays Salem rtiportd Governor Patterson is about to appoint a commission fo draft a state building code, aa impqiiejtf a#d :Beoessary^tmdertaktDg.

Guilty Escape Five stf-ikere were killed by the fire of guards men in Colorado disorders growing out of the ac tivities of I W. W. agitators. It a safe bet that nope pf the I Won’t Work leader» were included— those birds are mighty careful of their ojm hides. That is 000, of the worse features o*f labor difc-j turbaneeS. The men who bring about the trouble and keep it going never suffer any hardships there from. They not only don’t get shot by soldiers but they don’t lose any jobs and their wives and chil dren don’t feel the pinch of want. If there was some way to provide that the pay of agitators stopped with the beginning of a strike and only began again after the matter was settled, there would be a decided falling off in labor troubles. 'As it is now it seems to require about so many strikes to provide jobs for all the strike leaders.
