Lack of interest continues to characterize the presi
dential campain. With the eventful day a little more
than three weeks away, campaign managers are declar
ing that a lack of spellbinders is one of the causes. The
brass bands, the partisan speeches, the torchlight par
ades and street arguments are not in evidence. Indif
ference, or a very mild interest, is quite generally appar
ent.
The main reason that national baseball has for years
been a favorite sport is that there has been a general be
lief that it has been played on the square, as well as on
the diamond. The disclosures over last year's world
series came as a jolt to the fans. For a time,, at least,
there will be skepticism over the honesty of players.
Truly, a few crooks are able to cause a lot of trouble.
November 11 has been proclaimed a legal holiday in
the state of Washington. This was done in recognition
of three noteworthy events: Washington was admitted
as a state to he union November 11, 1889; acual hostili
ties ceased in the great warNovember 11, 1918, and one
year later, on November 11, occurred the Centralia massacre.
Gilliam is one county in Oregon where there is some
real live interest in politics. : It is not, however, over the
question of whether Senator Harding or Governor Cox
is going to occupy the white house. It's the selection of
a county school superintendent. Three women are seek
ing the office and all are out to win. This will give
the election a personal touch which will at least kick old
General Apathy to one side.
Oregon Normal School officials have clearly demon
strated that where there is a will there is a way. It was
their belief that it was possible to successfully have a
symphony concert by a company of musicians of natio.n
'al renown. They sensed that it would be an undertak
ing of no small proportions, yet confident that such an
attraction would appeal strongly to all music lovers
and this, of course, includes everybody they shouldered
the responsibility. The result was gratifying, to say the
least. The concert was a thrilling, delightful affair, and
from a financial standpoint more than expectations were
realized. It is very rare, indeed, for a concert company
of the size and standing of the Minneapolis company to
give a program in cities of the size of Monmouth. The
way is paved not the highway and it is probable that
similar high-class entertainments will be provided occas
ionally in the future.
Deli vera 50 Printed Words
a Minute. .
The fastest machine ever Invented
for transmitting news events Is culled
the teletype.
While news by ordinary telegraph
In the Morse code ciuue In at the rate
of thirty-live words a minute, the tele
type printed the messages at the rute
of fifty words a minute.
The teletype Is a simple, compact
Instrument which prints the messages
on a strip of paper one-half Inch wide,
similar to the ordinary ticker "tupe."
Its Inventors assert It will operate
for long periods without adjustment
or attention beyond supplying It with
paper aud Ink. It Is said to be so sim
ple It can bt operated by any one
with an elementary knowledge of elec
tricity and mechanics.
Any reasonable number of receiving
stations may reeelre news by Its use
from one central transmitting station.
These may either be connected all on
one wire or a number of wires radiat
ing from a central station may be
used.
The same principle Is used In the
teletype as In the simple Morse tele
graph, only by omitting a' series of
clicks the movement of the keys
causes the machine at the other end
of the wire to print proper letters.
Instead of sending out dots and dash
es, which require skill and training
In transmission, the operator merely
presses a typewriter key and the re
ceiving machine prints the required
letter.
A small motor, such as Is used to
supply power for many modern office
appliances, operates the teletype. The
rolls of "tape" on which the news
Is printed are large enough to re
ceive from 15,000 to 16,000 words be

It is apparent that there has been no needless delay in
the trials of the five men charged with the slaying of Til
D. Taylor, sheriff of Umatilla county. Of the five who
planned the murder, one has been sentenced to be hang
ed; two have been given life imprisonment terms and the
other two have been found guilty of murder in the first
degree, with no recommendation by the jury of court
clemency, hence it is probable that they will be sentenced
today to be hanged. No sympathy is being wasted over
these men. They deliberately murdered a man who
had won state-wide admiration for his fearlessness and
yet without brutality in handling "bad men." When
they planned the affair they were aware of the penalty
for such deeds, without a Question of doubt. Cowardly
at heart, as all bad men must be, their declaration that
they would shoot their way out of jail if necessary and
the eventual enactment of the deed has taken from them
the sympathy which is ordinarily extended to the unfor
tunate. While there is a grave question in the minds of
many as to whether capital punishment is justifiable, it
is deeds of this kind which has made a majority of the
people of the state in favor of it.
OH
FOR REAL TIRE ECONOMY USE
Michelin Tires & Tubes
You get more value for your money than from any
other tire or tube on the market today. This may
seem like an extravagant statement, but let us con
vince you of the truth of it.
Michelin Tubes are Ring-shaped all others are,
straight. When' a tube other than Michelin is de
flated, its inner and outer circumferences are of
practically equal length. The inside of the casing j
however, is much shorter around the beads than j
around the tread. Consequently when the straight
tube is put into the casing, either the inner circum- i
ference of the tube is too long or its outer circum- !
ference is too short. Such tubes are easily pinched j
in fitting; wear thin in spots, or break where creas- !
ed or folded, and under the pressureof inflation
and use. , !
Considering that they are fully guaranteed, Mich- I
elin Tires and Tubes are very reasonable in price.

Flattery.
It Is Impossible to tell the whole
truth to an average human being and
still to remain on terms of friendship
with him. There Is little friendship
without make-believe. If two men are
close friends, you may take it that
they have been pretending to a con
siderably higher estimate of each oth
er than they would set down In a per
fectly honest diary.
It Is not necessary that they should
deliberately lie to one another, but
they must discreetly conceal a certain
amount of the criticism that Is going
on all the time behind the bones of
their skulls.
What is said in a spirit of truth Is
set down to malice. Can a man be
your rriena If he steals the crown
from your head? Can he be your
friend even if he steals a single Jewel
from your crown especially the paste
Jewel? We have all the greatest and
the meanest of us paste Jewels In our
crown.i. Will a true friend point them
out to a world that is already over
much Inclined to scoff? Or' will he
not rather organize a claque that wU
pretend to be dazzled by diamonds?
Man is not only a realist. He is also
a lover of romance. He dreams of
what he would be quite as often as he
deplores what he is. lie cannot help
being attracted by people who make
his- dream appear true. There are
some men who are such Intense ego
ists that they enn believe in the truth
of their dreams without any assistance
from other people. Southey agreed
that his "Madoc" was "the best Eng

OTBWE?
To move weight across a field or up a hill COSTS
MONEY. LIGHT WEIGHT and GREAT PULL is
the goal of every tractor maker. It is the amount of
PULL PER POUND of weight that counts.
Roughly speaking, to carry every 300 pounds of trac
tor weight requires one horse power. A one-horse pow
er tractor weighing 300 pounds would have' no draw,
bar pull.
The Fordson weighs but 2450 pounds. It is from
eight to fifteen hundred pounds lighter than any other,
tractor having a motor of equal size. ' "
To build a tractor light in weight, strong and durable,
calls for high class construction and the best of metals
properly heat treated. In short, it COSTS to build
LIGHT AND STRONG.
LIGHT WEIGHT and STRENGTH is a Ford char
acteristic. This fall there will be plenty of good fanning weath
er for the farmer with a Fordson. Let us demonstrate
