It is easy enough to lie whole

Liquor may be still in politics
but it is not in the politicians as
much as it used to be.

Just one or two days more to get

One feminine diver earns more

The slack made by Tennessee try'

If they ever took to paying col

From the way the school boards
are drafting Normal students as

is any s nior class at the 0. N. S.
this coming year at all.
Australia is planning mills to

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
