The acceptance speech of John W, Davis, democratic nominee ior president, published in the Guard today, discloses no paramount issue for tho campaign. Mr. Davis excoriates the venality recently exposed in repub- uuiuuuuuiu. iie Be is out me impotence xo wnicn the government Jias been brought by the inability of the legislative and the executive branches to pull together. He offers a constructive programme to which ho says the democratic party will dedicate its efforts, including: l 4. : Co i i ' l i ' j --ir . a new iuvv miui mw, legislation xo aia iarmers, income tax revision downward, participation in the world court and prohibition enforcement, but ono does not find the keynote to anything that rises above everything else in what he proposes, discusses or condemns.- The party platforms failed to define the issues of this year's campaign very sharply. Now we have one nom inee's acceptance speech and it also lacks the note of notes. It is more than likely that Mr. Coolidgo's accep tance speech, when it eomes, will show a similar lack and that the definition of- issues on which the result will ac tually, bo decided will be developed by the candidates themselves as the campaign progresses arid they particu larize their aims, ' '. i Chief interest in the west in what Mr, Davis has to say will probably be on his utterances regarding the if.rmers. "instead ot lip service to the principle of co operative marketing the forces of tho government shall be put actively to work to lend assistance to-these en deavors," he says. And therein Mr. Davis offers definite assistance along tho line which in greater degree than any other promises to solve the farmer's problem. Of the farmer ne says twiner: "in times when general and widespread distress overtakes him, every power which the government enjoys under the constitution shall be ex erted in his aid," Mr. Davis declares the farmer at present buys in a high market and sells in a low one, and this condition he proposes to remedy through tariff re vision. He pledges his party to help the farmer enlarge his foreign markets and to obtain for him reasonable freight trateB. Altogether Mr. Davis' discussion of the fi.rmer'8 problems and prospects shows a thoroughness of grasp which hi critics have not Jbeer crediting him with possessing. "",5''''-,,?,':,;,;-"y '', ,. ' ' '"' i . '' . ' Dr. Butler and Prohibition. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butlor, president of Columbia university, says wo are a nation of lawbreakers and t.hat disobedience to law is breaking down ur morals. This, he tolls the world in an interview which he gives out , from San Francisco, is something that has happened throughout tho world for 500 years past whenever a government has tried to enforce sumptuary legislation, and from that cause it has come upon us now. It is a gloomy situation indeed as Dr. Butler sees it, but' he ap pears willing to do what ho can to save us from our selves. Within the noxt year ho purposes to conduct a campaign whereby he hopes to convinco the American people that prohibition is a failure. Ho tells with evi dent appreciation of conditions in somo of the provinces of Canada which he recently visitod, whore tho govern ment is in tho liquor business, and holds up tho Canadian method as one which wo might well follow on this side of the line. ' The whole basis of Dr, Butler's arguments contin ues to be that prohibition ought to be abandoned becnuso prohibition laws are violated. An ndvocato of tho aboli . tion of any other law on such a basis would be laughed out of court if, indood, ho were not thrown out bodily ' for presuming to triflo. "We rend every dny of robberies but nobody wants to see tho laws against robbery re pealed on that account. As learned a man as Dr. Butler ought to bo more logical. Meanwhilo prohibition is being enforced in large part. And consumption of bonded liquors, ostensibly for non-beverage purposes, is lessening. On this point Roy Haynes, national prohibition commissioner, says in a recent statement that in 1920 releases of liquor on per mits amounted to 12,500,000 gallons; in 1921 to 3,500,000 gallons, in 1922 to 1,800,000 gallons and in 1923 to 1, 670,000 gallons. This supply, Mr. Haynes points out, would of- necessity form tho chief basis of whatever good quality liquor would bo avnilablo for bcrerngo purposes on such proportion of tho amount as was illegally di verted, and it shpws a heavy shrinkage. ..Says Mr. Havnos: "Certain irronns mav be drinkinor ninrn. but Trior are certainly small in comparative numbers. As a eon- eral nationnl proposition the claim that there is more; drinking than ever is absurd on its face as tested by tho senses. Conditions at practically every great gatheringi of people wherever held in the country the past two or three years, eloquently proclaim the decreased use of beverage liquor." Decision of the Eugene fruit growers association to unite wit lithe North Pacific co-operative prunegrowors exchange Trill add much to the exchange. Progress of the exchange since its organization Juts been steady al though not rapid. By next yenr it should be in position to bring to its members vast benefits. . , The Lano county fair bonrd might easily go farther and fare worse than Dy engaging the Odd Fellows band for the coming fair.

Steam Badly Burns Portland Workmen ronTLAXD, Ore., Ail. 12. Two men were trapped here Monday 'n a Nnrthwestorn Klectrlo company afesm holler - nnd burns suffered when seventy-five gallons of boil ing water poured In upon them may prove fatal to one. The pair, Albert Havoland, 44, mechanlo and I S, Marsh, his 29-year-old helper, had entered the holler thrcuxh a amall opening to clean the aurface. Some one had left a tap opened MENDING THE HURT Chapter 88 Ones tie tears bad started, Leafc jcould not stop them and aha did not try. Her slender frame waa con vulsed with heart-rending sobs. Peter bent over her. and tried ner vously to comfort her ia some way. She acemed so ciuia-uae ana paweiic to him. He felt a strange mingling of fear and helplessness. "There, therel Dearest!" he coaxed. Leah burst forth with k-enewed weeping. She held the roses io ier slender hands and let hot tears stream down upon them, lehe hardly knew what aha waa crying for. The cause waa an accumulation ot sup pressed feara, disillusionmenta. aud cold realities which htd been gather ing ever since the day of her elope ment with Peter. She wanted so much to he .happy and somehow, things ware not aa aha had expected. 1'eriapa Leah thought her tearB were cauaed by Feter'a attitude about the new dress, bnt that was only the climax. She had let big Peter take her In his atrong arms snJ run awuy with her away from all the unhappi ness nnd disappointment of her life. Sha bad believed that Peter's gener ous love would ease the cruel pain. With Peter'a slender gold band upon a certain finger ot her 'left hand she had hoped that aha could look ba'k ar.tl laugh nt the rest of the world Hut the realities of life ware like triying to crawl through a barb-wire fence; angry pointa (that could not be overlooked were catching at you, and tearing yonr heart, no matter how hard yo, tH- ff,svrld thara. Ami Leah wanted so desperately to be happy. She had' a gay little heart that longed for gladness, and now It was miserable. Peter drew his arms around his wife's trembling ahotilders. He pressed his face against Iter tear stained cheeks and held her tightly. "PleitseT" Leoh, darling! You will he sick," he entreated, Peter's voice was low and foil of feeling. Ills arms were firm and protecting. Slowly Leah'a overwrought nerves relaxed a little. Teter drew one arm from her shoulder and stroked his wife's throbbing foro head, holding her firmly against him with the other atrong arm. After a while the teara stopped and Leah gave a gentle little sigh ot relief. Pater did not aak questions. Partly because he did not know what to aBk. Hi wife's strange mood and hot tears mystified him and left him powerless to think. And though Piter did sot know it being silent waa the very beat thihg he could do for Leah. Without his realizing it,, hie love and silent strength comforted' her. "I'm sorry, Peter dear," she 'mur mured softly between little hearings of her chest. Peter stroked her hand, and then covered It protectingly with his. .... "I .I'll send the new dress back if yon think I'd better. It was so beautiful, and I didn't think about the price." Peter's eyes opened in wonderment. He had forgotten about the dress. The price ot it had been accounted for and balanced op two days ago. He could not believe that Leah had been grieving about It all this time. He thought Leah -and he understood each other perfectly about the new dress. That had been aettled long ago. "I I haven't any new clothes you know, refer dear," she explained, with a catch In her voice. "Therel Therel Tea. of course. I did remember, and I fixed things up ro we could manage. I meant to give it to you before, I'm a selfish beast, dearest, for forgetting." At last Peter had discovered a woy1 to stop Leah's tears and he jumped at it eagerly. "Let's see now I have it all figured ont." Peter pulled a check book from an inner pocket and took out his fotin tnin pen. He held the end of the pen between his teeth for a second. Then Be wrote out a check for J200. Leah watched him aa he signed it with a little happy smile creeping bnck around her lips and bright sparkles hi her eyes. Leah let. her arms slip around Peter'a neck, and in an Instant Peter turned end caught her up in hie arms. Ar.d for the moment Leah was happy. Perhaps it was because she hod found relief in tears; perhaps it was Peter's love which aeemed sooth ing just then; or perhaps It was tho check for $200 which she held tightly in the fingers of her small right hand. which, to Inaura safety, la ordin arily closed when men are working within tha drum.

Men are. looking askance at one another; are mistrusting one another; are doubting each otnera ood will and honesty of. purpose. Th solidarity of the great war haa given way to a chaoa of bloca and section and classes ana internal, each striving- for Its own advantage, careless of the welfare of the whole. Government Itself, to which the humblest citizen haa the right to turn with confident rellanee in Ita evenhanded Juetlca, haa fallen un der the prevalent distrust. There Is abroad In the land a feeling too general to be ignored, too deep seated for any trifling, that men In office can no longer ha truated to keep faith with those who eent them there, and that the powera of government are being exerclaed in the pursuit of personal gain In stead of the common service. Out of this and because of it there haa developed an alarming tendency to take the administration of the law out ot the hands of oonatltuted or flolal and to execute Ita prooeaaea through Individuals or through or ganized eocletlee, by methods little different from those of private re venge, - A altuatlon ao threatening to the very foundation of the eo clal order demands boldneaa In fao Ing the cauaea which bave brought It about, ana tireless exerun in tn effort to remove them. To bring the Government baak to the people Is and alwaya haa been the doc trine of Democracy. Today, In ad dition. It la the aupreme need of the hours to bring back to the peo ple confidence In tbalr government. The search for the cauaea of this state of affairs lead us at once to the history of the last tour yeara. In 1920 we passed througb a politi cal campaign In which materialism was preached as a creed and ael flshness as a national duty. All the forces of discontent were mar shalled and the embers of every smoldering- hate were fanned Into burning flame. We have eaten of the fruit of the tree that was plant ed and It baa been bitter In the mouths of even the most indiffer ent. I speak, with restraint when I aay It haa brought forth corrup tion In high plaoea; favoritism In legislation; division and discord in party councils; Impotence In Gov ernment and a. hot straggle for profit and advantage which ha be wildered us at home and humiliated us abroad. For all these things the party now In power cannot escape the responsibility that la Ita due. No repentance at the eleventh boar and no promise of reform can can cel half a line ol toe maisputanie facta. Tub te Speak Plainly" The time demands plain apeaklng. It Is not a welcome task to recount the mnltlplted scandals of these melancholy years; a Senator of the United State convicted af corrupt praotice In th purchase of tola senatorial aeat; a Secretary ot the Interior In return tor bribes grant- DID YOU EVER O STOP TO THINK i By E. R. WAITE, SECRETARY, Shawnee, Okla., Bd. of Commerce THAT pessimists and others whose propaganda indicates a desire to hold back progress for the home city should be shown that they are out ot step. THAT the time for action has ar rived. The progressive spirit must be preserved. Citizens should be proud of their home city and be pre pared to tight for Ita betterment. . THAT pessimists are prone to cre ate dull business conditions 'through their idle talk and lack of optimism. THAT every city has set-backs once in a while nothing serious but things that can be easily overcome. Whenever these things happen the pessimists see only the dark side and try their best to make conditions worse. THAT the foundation of the suc cess of a city Is done by the coopera tive genius of tts optimistic citizens. " i THAT Sfery citizen should point to .the advantages of the home city and tell everybody of her enterprises and resources. They should not hesi tate or postpone it, but DO IT NOW THAT every city should recognize opportunity and never have to look back regretfully at things that should have been done. TnAT tha ability to see end grnsp opportunities often marks the differ ence in the success or failure of a city. Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON PLAIN LAN6UA6E He came to my accustomed haunt, my seat beneath the cedar, and said, "I wish to wed your aunt I love and sorely need her. And she admits her love for me, her splnsterlike devo tion, but to our troth you mwt agree this is her silly notion. She says that lacking your consent she will remain a maiden, and so I come, a pleading gent, with hopes and yearnings laden." "My aunt is good and leal and true, although she is no chicken." I said, "and if she's chosen you, I'll do no idle kickin'. Put woman is a mystery beyond ray pene tration; for suitors twelve have bent their knee, and voiced their admira tion; and some were men of high degree, and some had stores of plun der, and she rejected every plea, and hade them it to thunder. And some were men of growing fame, with all the world applauding, but from their mellow lovesick g;ime she simply knocked the wadding. The rich, the beautiful, the treat, have asked mv sunt to wed them, and down Ibe ' path and through the gute she re-1 morsely sped them. And now yon tell me she agrees to lead yon to the : altar; she'll take tip a human cheese, i end doesn't gasp or falter. I've known yon since you were a kid; if yon i wer eoM at auction, ten cents would ' be my highest bid but let us caustic! talk shun. If my dear aunt electa 1 to wed. and you're the chosen martyr, i I heap mv Mes.!nr on her head so to the preacher cart her," : : i ; log away the Naval Oil Reserves so necessary to the aecurlty of the country; a Secretary of the Navy Ignorant of the spoliation in pro gress if not Indifferent to It; an Attorney-General admitting bribe takers to the Department of Jus tice, making them hla boon .com panions and utilizing the agencies of the law for purposes of private and political vengeance; a Chief of the Veterana Bureau ateallng and helping othere to steal the mllllona in money and supplies provided for the reliof of those defenders of the nation most entitled to th nation's gratitude and cara. Such crimes are too grosa to be forgotten or forgiven. I do not believe that the millions ot sincere and patriotic men and women who have, composed tho rank and file ot the Republican Party are more ready to condone these and almllar offensea of to pardon the offenders than those of other political faiths. Indeed, their in dignation has perhaps a sharper edge, for It la coupled with the chagrin that must follow from the knowedg that under authority Issued In their name corrupt men bave crept to places of power and then betrayed the trust that plao ed them there. Toueb.ee ea OU Prb There are olrcumatances, how ever, whloh spread responsibility for ths effect of these things upon the publlo oonfldenoe beyond the list of the crlmlnala themselves. There la, firat, the fact that the revelation of these orlmes was not the result of any action taken by the executive. No burning Indigna tion there put In train the forces, of investigation and ot punlahment. The dlscloaurea came only aa the result of the palnstaklnsr effort of faithful publlo eervante In the legislative branch of the Govern ment who could not doae their eyes even when others chose to slumber. Again, when discovery was threatened. Instead ot aid and assistance from the executive branch there were hurried efforts to suppress testimony. to discour age witnesses, to spy upon Investi gators and finally, by trumped-up indlotment, to frighten and deter them from the pureult. The spy ing on Senatore and Congressmen; the hastv interchange of telegrams In department .code; the refusal ot those accused to come forward, un der oath, to purge themselves all these things serve to blacken a. page that waa already dark enough. Different perhapa In moral qual ity, but hardly les painful to the country, haa been the attitude of some of thoae n high places whose effort It has been to weaken the effect ot theee exposure by crylng out not against th u"t,.b"t against those who exposed them. What shall we say when a atate ment come from on who ol au men should have been roost deeply stirred that the wonder Is not that, so many have fallen but that ao few have been shown untrue? With what patience ahall we, greet the libelous suggestion that, after all, these are but Incidents provoked by the demoralization attendant up on the great wart I memory then so short that we no longer recall ?he heroic day. of 191 1 and Mis. when America rose to heights of moral grandeur UMUrPa"td' J5," every meeting place waa a temple and every-houae a abrlneT Shall w forgef that no taint of v dishon esty or corruption has ever attach ed to any man who led public of fice during that great to any man who continued to hold ofttee under the rederal govern ment until March 4. 192W Shell shock was late Indeed In arriving It It Is to be put forward now as the exouse for these gross mis deeds. - Charges RepobltcJll Cemptlo-a I charge the Republican ' Party with this corruption In office. I charge it also with favoritism in legislation. I do more, I charge it with that grossest form ,of favor itism which give to htm who hath, and takes away from him who hath not. To pervert high office to per sonal gain la an offense detested by r.U honest men; but to use the power of legislation purposely to enrich one man or set of men at the expense of others Is robbery on a larger scale though done under the forms of low. In the passage of the Fordney-ilcCumber Tariff Act, Imposing the highest rates and duties in the tariff history of the nation, there was an unblushqlng return to the evil days of rewarding party aupport and political contri butions with legislative favors. Flnye Tariff set In the language of one of the advocates of that measure: "It we take care ot the producers the con sumers can take care of them- -elves." For every dollar that tnts statute has drawn Into the treas ury of the United States it has di verted five-from tho pocket of the consumer Into the pockets of the favored few. Although the Repub lican platform adopted at Cleveland holds out to the taxpayer the elus ive promise ot relief to those who are "daily paying their taxes through thetr living expenses." 'as Indeed they are, it nowhere offers any promise of a reduction in tariff duties, bnt lands the existing bill as the summit of human wisdom. Is there not something of humor as well aa honesty lacking In those who in one and the same breath can promise a reduction of the cost ot living and praise a statute which raises the price of the elemental necessarlea of life: who can de mand, as they should, the payment of our foreign debts but refuse to accept from the debtor the goods In which alone payment can be made; who clamor for an American merchant marine but deny It the cargoes necessary tor Ita existence? View oe Income rax When a reduction in the burden ot Income taxes could no longer be denied, the country was presented with the Mellon bill, offered by the Administration to the people as the last word on that aubject. When It met the test ot impartial analy sis here, too, there appeared the motive- to favor the few possessors of swollen Incomes beyond the many of moderate means. Under Demo cratic initiative and Democratic guidance a bill waa passed in Its Btead, so changing the wc4;ht and emphasis of the proposed reduc tion as to give the greater relief to those whose tax payments press ed upon their scale of living.
