President Coolidge CALVIN COOLIDGE entered today upon his elective term ns president of the United States. Tho aus pices are favorable. Ho goes into office this timo backed by the mandate pf more than seventeen millions of voters chosen by tho very great plurulity of 7,400,000 votes. On this showing the confidence that tho people of tho United States impose in him is very marked indeed. To his 'elective incumbency Mr. Coolidgo brings an experience of more than a year and a half as president. That experience ins been valuable to him. Within its period ho has made, in tho judgment of tho majority of tho people, no serious mistakes. He has not been an intensely partisan president. Ho has been an efficient one. His thrifty ideas of government and of popular life are wholesome, and their effect upon congress and tho people has been wholesome in kind. In acting upon questions brought to him for determination he has shown himself fearless. Ho has the courage of his convictions always. No grave crisis faces tho United States aa Mr. Coolidgo enters upon his elective term. The country is moderately prosperous. Foreign relations are in the main satisfactory. No vital issue divides tho people. Tho expiring congress has failed to enact the legislation for tho relief of tho farmers, on which the president had sot his heart, but unquestionably he will bring this again before tho new congress and endeavor to see it through. This will be the test of his leadership. Thus far his efforts to load congress have been disappointing. And therein lies his only serious demonstrated weak noss. Tho country, regardless of partisan affiliation, will wish tho president, well in his term of sorvice that opens today. Governor Pierce's Vetoes APPARENTLY Governor. Pierce counts that day lost whoso low, descending sun falls upon anything less than a goodly sheaf of legislative appropriations votood at his hnnds. And yef., casting up the list of itoms which have fallen before .his post-session snicker-snee to date, one can scarcely place a finger on any item and say, "Hero ,is ouo' that will cause tho state serious loss." Tho governor has vetoed some items that it would have boon nico t6 have had from one standpoint or another, but none of them wns indispensnble. Tho governor has been criticised in the recent past for making many recommendations whoso purpose was to raiso added revenue, while doing nothing to cut state expenditures as a means toward lowering taxes. He has inveighed loudly against a majority of the voters and the legislature because they have not boon and are not now in sympathy with his ideas for producing revenue. Becauso of this ho is open to tho suspicion nnd tho accusation of being actuated in his veto activities by motives of reprisal. One can scarcely but believe that this is, at least to an extent, the ease. But present conditions of state finance and taxation do unquestionably call for retrenchment, and what the governor is doing now is in tho lino of retrenchment. It was a liberal legislature that wo lmvo just had. In the view of many taxpayers it was too liberal. It gavo special appropriations rather lavishly. It raised a good ninny salaries. Salaries aro not being generally raised in private business at present. There has been nothing in recent economic developments to demand or warrant such a tendency. Rather it is an era of con Hcrvatism in business expenditures. Tho legislature did not altogether attune itself to conditions in tho things it did. And we shall get along very well, or at least muddle through, without making tho expenditures that tho governor has thus far cut off. The governor says he will veto items to the aggre gate of $500,000 by tho time he gets through. We do not find ourselves consumed with rage at tho prospect, nor even unduly excited. Antl tho constitutional veto period is about at an end. Already nutomobilo tourists aro on tho road. Their vanguard hns appeared at tho Eugeno municipal auto mobile camp. They are a harbinger of tho greatest activity and tho largest visitation tor (lie coming season thnt we shall lmvo had in any year. The automobile camp is an institution of great possibilities for the bringing of ju'riuanent residents to Eugene. What is needed is missionary work among its visitors of the moro desirable type. If wo show thorn what wo have hero some of them will slay. It will bo u. worth while effort. It is good news that tho appropriation for deepen ing tho inner channel of Siuslaw hnrbor is availablo and that nctual work of dredging may be expected to start this spring. With a mean low tido depth of twelve feet, enabling vessels drawing ns much ns 16 feet to navigate the channel at higher water, thero will undoubt edlv follow a considerable enhancement of shipping ac tivity in Lnno county's own port. Sign of spring: The highly colored rhubarb from California thnt looks like it was hand-painted graces tho breakfast board again. It took a back-east temblor to get tho word Earth quake in tho headlines of tho California newspapers, Optimistic thought for today: They aro mending the holes in tho illainotto street pavement. success upon following the lines laid down by 'hose who have by research, chemical analysis, study and experi mentation sought the secrets of Uie vsrious branches of agriculture. He turns for help to the agricul tural college, to tbe farm expects anJ to the county agents. He is quick to try cut their suggestions and to ap ply the methods Uiey recommend. And uuite often he succeeds much betur ilian '.he man born to the farm aod sho has tilled Uie soil all his life. The cave of John Jahti is a con spicuous example. He was a logger who got tired of logging. Tbe story was told in Wednedsy'a ltuilget 'A how by industry, faith ill the elficacy of modem methods, a keen desire l. learn and a stronj belief in the sound, nesa pf the co-operative principle he has in five years revolutionized the poultry bit.iness in the Knappa bvensne district by the success he has made there in spite of the old tradi tion which had it that this district wss not adapted to poultry railing. Holping the Farmer to Help Himself. (New York World) . The Haugen bill now pending in congress is a far cry from the Mc- Nary-Haugen bill which so much troubled the last session. While tue latter would put the government, at great cost, into the business of boost ing fnrm pricees and keeping them there, the present Haugen bill would merely establish a government agency to help co-operative marketing among farmers and ataudardizntion of their products. There is much indifference to the measure among farm-bloc congress men. But there Is no particular op position. President Coolidge wants it enacted, and, ahort as the time is be fore the expiration of this congress, there is time enough to get it through in the absence of direct op position. It does not hit at the great trouble with agriculture, which la compulsion by government to sell in a free-trade market and buy In a highly tariff-protected market. But it does do something toward helping the far mer help hintself, and that is the true policy for government to follow. The bill should be passed. ... Cut-a-Cut-a-Cut. (Corvallis Oazette-TimeB) "Salem," cackles the Statesman, "Is the poultry center of the world." TheTe won't be so many chickens there now that the legislature has ad journed and taken ita atenoga with it.

COMMENT OF THE PRESS Beating the Farmer it hit Own Gams (Astoria Itudget) It I. not alaraye the fatmer who makes the heat farmer.

Just to the west of Leo is the in conspicuous constellation of Concer, the Crab, which contains, however, the interesting object known as Praesepe, the Bee-Hive, and also as tbe Manger. The two faint stars to either side aro known as AselH, the Donkeys. Praesepe Is a coarse cluster of stars that can be resolved even with an opera glass. South of Cancer is tbe head of 3" Hydra, the Water-snake, formed by a small group of stars.

Venus, In tho morning sky, is now getting too close to the sun to be seen to any advantage. Jupiter is visible in the east before sunrise and Saturn risea in the east about midnight and is near the meri dian at sunrise. MUCH COLOR , IN OLD INAUGURALS Goorg Washington and Theodore Roosevelt Inducted With More Splendor TJhan Other Presidents By HARK B. HUNlVT,,ir'" (NIC A Service Writer)' XyASUINGTON, March 4, Since simplicity and economy Imve beou decreed as the guiding factors js to day s inaugural ibjstoriodlly mindvd, folk have been searching the records to discover just how simple or how ostentatious preceding insuguratious have beeu. From the. facts disclosed by' thejo quests it seems that the px.-al oi popular ucclahn, jubihitiou aud ccie b rut ion was reached at the inaugural uf Oeorge Washington and Theo dore Koosevult. Washington's first in a ugu ration was uu April 30, 116M, in .New York. His whole progress from Ml. Vernon to Tvew York, made by carriage and not on horseback, was, a colortul pa geant lasting through an entire week. He was uccouipauicd on the suc cessive Stages of the journey by re lays of colouisl diguitarics, as well .is by a dvil and military escort, and his arrival at each felay point was accompanied by illuminations, music, banquets and muoh speechmukiug. This trip is said to have cost Washington personally about $3X0. . In color aud hilarity the Rocbi velt inauguration, wita its delega tions of itough 1 titters, Indians, sol diers and shouttjig .citizeufy, nevor has been matched. Kalinin tea placed the number of visitors who saw the Roosevelt in augural parade at 600,000. The parade itself took nearly four hours to pass the reviewing stand. Thomas Jefferion was the first of the presideuts to take the oath in Washiugtou. Jffferaon and Madison were induct ed Into office inside the incompleted capital building. When arrangements werfr under way for the Monroe inauguration In 1817, the house and Benatj couldn't agree on the disposition of seats and finally it was agreed to hold the exer cises outdoors where there would bs room for everybody. Because of stormy weather, John Quincy Adams and William Howard Tuft took the oath inside the cn pi lot. With those two exception's, all presidents since Monroe have been sworn in in front of the central por tico of the capltol. The one inauguration which might surpassed today's inaugural . of Coolidge in international simplicity and lack of pretension, was that of Jefferson, Along with Uie story of Washing ton and the cherry tree, American schoolboys have been taught how Tom rode alone down to the capltol, hitched -his horse to a sapling out side, and then took the oetb. In reality, however, it does not seem to have been quite so simple. Authenticated Tecords of the occa sion show that Jefferson was accom panied to the capitol by a consider able company of militiamen, friends and admirers,, and that a really re spectable gathering was on hand to acclaim the new president. The record inaugural "roughhoustj' wee etftgitd at the time Andy Jackson took office. After the inaugural ceremonies, the White House was thrown open for a reception. An uncontrollable mob of Jackson boosters surged in, waiters were kuocked down, refreshments tJierc was no prohibition law thenwere spilled, glassware broken and the brocaded seats of chair and divans muddled by the boots of the country men who climbed upon tbetn to gel i better look at "Our Andy."

Too Busy to Bother (Minneapolis Tribune) A new branch of a railway was be ing constructed across a lonely coun try district and it was found that tho track would have to be taken over the site of a farmer's barn. The sur veyor went to see the farmer nnd told him that, unfortunately, the new rail way would have to run through his barn. The farmer was annoyed. "Xow listen to me, young man," he Baid, angrily. "Do you think I've noth ing to do but open and shut the doors of my barn every time your trains want to go through." , Hell-Bent (Baltimore Sun) Belief that the rich will go to new frantic effort to get rich, .

"What, has the dinner bell rung?" asked the slightly deaf listener, as he hurried off to the dining room. Secretive, In a Way American Legion Weekly) A Hibernian lady, being brought to court charged with assault upon a neighbor, pleaded not guilty.

Test: 5.24. But that ye may know that the Son ot man hath authority on earth to for give sins. Meditation This sick man and hU friends asked for healing of the body, but Jesus looked within, and saw a greater need. He saw a loinging for forgiveness greater thin lor bodily healing. Jesus read the heart. It is always hard for us to remeu.'oer that the ills of this world are far more spiritual than material and that if we have spiritual health, material thing will largely cere for themselves. This man confessed his need. This made possible his salvation. An honest con fession opens the door 'to God's for giving grace, "Sin that is unconfessed shuts out the energies of grace. Confession makes tbe soul receptive to thu bountiful waters of life. The soul tlmt mike confession to Christ is washes through and through and tbe seed3 of inquity are driven out." Prayer Lord Jesus, breatJie upon us thy healing breath that we may be cleansed from sin and sickness. Reveal thy power in the lives of men. Give us the sense of thy companion ship that our voices may be full of gladness end that we may rejoice on our wey. Amen. (Copyright, 1925, F. L.
