' 1 f HARTMAN BROS. C O. A Jeweler, and 0pf,ci,, J, SALEM' ' .OREGON We shoul i be entitled to t little jubilee at' the completion of the gravity Water system, t matter now of two weeks time. Today marks the finish of the preliminary political dash in Ore gon. The winners will now g into training for the final handicap in November. Monmouth needs a weed superin tendent, some one to keep the abun dant vegetation down and the need is especially strong at this season of the year. The state chamber of commerce is doing its best to educate the peo ple of the state to the fact that the best and safest way to get your horn tooted is to toot'it yourself. If matters take the course that now threatens we surmise it will be some time yet before people motor ing through Oregon will be able to view the agricultural splendors of the west side of Willamette valley over a hard surface highway. Walnuts and peaches will do well this year to acquire a garb of leaves to fay nothing of raising a crop, t xperts say another winter will have to be passed through be fore the trees will show positively whether they have withstood the effects of the cold weather last De cember. Hoover's action in- withdrawing from the Oregon contest when he felt the public interest could be served by "self saricfice of this kind will'commend him to thoughtful people. His declaration for the open shop also marks him as differ ent than the ordinary politician whose aim it is to please both sides and not take a positive stand on anything. i Signs are not wanting that the crest of high prices has been reached and the decline started, A good way to cause renewed inflation, if such a thing is desirable, is to put out a fresh issue of government bonds. Like a mar. who was suc cessful in getting a large loan, the nation has lived high while the money lasted. Now the pinch looms, money grows tighter, inter est rates rise. As money grows more valuable its purchasing power will incrase. The outlook is that it will still be a long time, a dec- ade'perhaps, before the bottom is reached. ' The service the Oregon Voter is capable of, was illustrated in its last week's issue when it gave a series of thumbnail biographies of the various candidates who are be fore the voters in the election to day. So many are the candidates to be voted on, especially for dele gates, that a person who votes con scientiously would have to make a considerable study of the men and t.)eir claims for favor. This very feV have the time or opportunity to dc1- The naming of such del egates might well be left to the old convention method. as good grounds for complaint. Hut, It may be askcl, where will be the ultimate good? While they may secure negative action and prevent the commission from curry ing out its will, it will be hard to get positive results and force, the commisison to work where it does not think it wise to work. This will mean delay, setting back the work in the county from one to five years. Levi P. Morton' was considered too old for a renomination at the time he was vice president when Bon Harrison ws named for a sec ond term. Morton was 68 then. That was in 1S92. Morton died the other day. aged 9(, having out lived nearly all of the men 'of his day. Our publication day, Friday, is the day of the primary, and the fate of the millage bill is being set tled now one way or the other. Ir respective of its final verdict, we believe the press of the state de serves abundant credit for the man ner in which it has supported this measure. This support has not been in any way perfunctory and instance after instance can be cited where state editors have put time and originality into their publicity, working with wholesale devotion to boost the measure. It has been a spontaneous exhibit of public spirit that does them credit and argues well for the future of Oregon. A Good Building Material and an everlasting building mater ial at the same time.

Two Good Companies Following the earthquake and fire that fourteen years ago destroyed San Francisco with a 350 million dollar property damage, the "Lon don" paid $7,600,000 losses-an amount greater than that puid by any other Company operating under a single name, in this or any other Conflagration.
