It is easy enough to lie whole souled when yt u are well heeled. The hand that rocks the cradle will now have a chance at rocking the beat. Liquor may be still in politics but it is not in the politicians as much as it used to be. Speaking of the highway matter it seems to be a case of just one law suit after another. Just one or two days more to get the weeds cleaned up around your place before the Normal school starts. One feminine diver earns more coin disporting in a six foot tank than Christopher Columbus earned by placing a new world on the map. The slack made by Tennessee try' ing to back out of ratification of suffrage is taken up by Connecticut trying to break in. If they ever took to paying col lege presidents 'salaries as large as they pay football reaches, what a sere ml le there would be to drink at the font of learning. From the way the school boards are drafting Normal students as teachers it will tea marvel if there is any s nior class at the 0. N. S. this coming year at all. Australia is planning mills to manufacture its own wool and Brazil is planning mills to manufacture its own paper, two little programs that call for machinery and skilled operators which are more readily talked of than acquired, Notwithstanding the gaso'ine ra tions of the present year, the ree ords of the Standard Oil show the company has sold considerably more gas in Oregon this year than it did last year. Production has not kept up with demand, that's all. Peaches are scarce in thh neck of the woods this vear. Some of the I ig orchards along the river have not matured a single peach. But that there are some on Mon mouth Heights is evident from a small box of peaches which rural carrier James Hinkle brought to the Herald office this week from Herman Wunder. It goes without saying that a farm which under the conditions of the past year, will raise peaches as good as these were, must be a great little farm. On their recent trip south to Cal- fornia by autmomobile, in the vi cinity of Creswnt City, Howard Morlan lost his pocket book. They had gone some mlies beyond and thought the chances for the return of the purse were slim. Mrs. Morlan expressed the belief that the garage man at Crescent City had an honest look. She wrote toj him asking him to'. make ,. a search for the purse. Tnis week, nearly a month after the loss, Mrs. Morlan received a registered pack age from Crescent City with the missingpocket book, By some the great national game is supposed to be that in which a horsehide covered ball is used and where the observed of observers is the home run hitter. The great national game, however, Is politics and the tournament in which there area number of entries is now drawing to a place where it com ntamla close interest. It was a matter of curiosity and interest to the meditator to olserve Governor Cox, one of the principal players in the great series now being staged, as he appeared in The Salem aimory lastMonday morning. Bearing in mind that politics is a game, just the same as war is a game for the generals or a great engineering feat a game for the man who directs it, will help to understand a few things that wuld otherwite be perplexing. To understand this helps in the ac quiring of an insight into one of the great sports of our time. For. instance, as the .nnliclut of the Democrats one might logically suppose Mr. Cox would refer with pardonable pride to the lights of democracy in the past, Jefferson, Jackson, Cleveland, but he referred to them not at all. It might be supposed that at. some time in his fifty minute address he might refer to Wcodrow Wilson who for the past eight years has directed the affairs of the nation. But the word "Woodrow" or "Wilson" never fell fron his lips. He re ferred once to "the president" in a semi-apologetic manner, by way of a defense of him but that was the closest he rame to a positive reference. To Theodore Koosevelt, however, he referred frequently, quoting his denunciation of certain fellow re publicans and inferring that he, himself was taking , up the task where Roosevelt dropped it." He quoted Roosevelt at the time he re ceived the No'. el peace prize and deduced thereby that Roosevelt was for the same league of peace which Cox favoreJ. The cleverness of Cox was con stantly in evidence in his talk. No word about Bryan, nothing about "wet or dry", nothing that could give offense to any in his audience. The enemy he battled was the "senate oligarchy", big business, Wall Street, all located somewhere else. lie took advantage of local con ditions, the low price of wool, the tax on loganberry juice, the prune and hop crops, on all of which in dustries, he left the impression that his purpose was to aid, assist and foster their welfare. He had warm sympathy for the farmer. He had been a farm boy himself and had roused the old cow nuny a morning that he could warm his bare feet on the fpot which said cow had warmed during the night. Some stores have the motto: "If you don't see what you want, ask for it", tnd this was evidently the Cox theory. It would have been interesting to have him confronted with the Polk County highway tan gle. Doubtless he could have side stepped without offense to either side. Oregon republicans have raised and sent east a campaign fund of approxi mately 20,000 according to a state merit made by Thomas H. Tongue, Jr., chairman of the republican state cen tral committee. Approximately 40 Industrial cripples receiving aid under the state industrial accident department have been assign ed to various trade schools, business colleges and other institutions of learn ing In the state. . Conditions affecting aviation along the Oregon coast will be investigated and charted and photographs will be taken of landing points within the next ten days under supervision of the nav department. More than 1600 members of the Uni ted Artisans from almost every section of Oregon, Washington and Idaho ar rived in Salem Saturday night and Sunday to participate In the" annual convention of the order. The city water supply of Baker has been endangered by perforations of the standplpe causing a leakage of 250 gallons a minute. The holos are the-result of rifle bullets, believed to have been fired deliberately. Thirty-six aliens now receiving treat ment at the state hospital at Salem will be deported to foreign ports about September 15, according to announce ment made by Dr. R. Lee Stelner, superintendent of the institution. The Marian-Polk lntercounty bridge is badly in need of repairs and unless strengthened at an early date will be In danger of collapse, was the report submitted to the Marlon county court by the state highway department.
