There is nothing in the record of President Coolidge to justify IVnr that ho would select for that office a man who is not qualified and disposed to administer it for the whole people. It would Beem, therefore, that the senate would make no mistake in confirming the appointment of Cliarles B. AVarren, of Michigan. And in tho end it is altogether likelv that the nomination will be confirmed. All this one may say president did not make a nently identified than Warren witli uio so-cnucu sugar trust. Public recollection of price manipulation and re striction of various kinds in sugar in recent years is rather keen. Opponents in and out of the senate of Lho Warren appointment are laying much stress upon tho declared need of a strong hand in trust control these days. Some of them charge that tho country is in tho beginning of a new era of combination in business comparable to that which led to tho enactment of tho Sherman law and tho prosecutions thereunder. It is true that tho present is an era of business combination and co-operation in many lines, with less competition than formerly, but tho tendency is not dangerous now as it was in the years preceding the Sherman net and other laws for tho reg ulation of what is termed big business. There is nmplo law nowadays to regulate such tendencies for tho pub lic protection, if tho law is administered. The wholo theory of government dealings with bus iness nowadays is one of regulation and not of preven tion or prohibition of mergers. As regards railroads and other utilities this policy extends even to the dis couragement or prevention of costly duplications of ser vice, involving as they must duplications also of cost to the public. The government's policy is one of middle ground between tho compelling of ruinous competition and that of resort to public ownership, with its attend ant evils of tax burden, top-heavy bureaucracy and' poor sorvico. Tho best answer, perhaps, to tho ehargo that the government is trending towards favoritism to big busi ness in its policy is to point to its recent efforts, which nro still pending, to encourage similar combination among the farmers for their own mutual advantage. Practically all students of economic problems ore agreed that the farmers cannot become permanently prosperous unless they do co-operate with each other, both in their pro duction methods and in marketing. Thus far fruition of this effort has been retarded from two causes. One is hick of full participation by all farmers, Somo of them continue to eye the plan askance. Tho other is differ ence of opinion as to just bow tho plan should be carried into effect. There is progress toward tho overcoming of both these hindrances. Within the next very few years, unless all signs fail, there will be general resort in agriculture to methods of co-operation similar to those in other lines of business ami industry. The Cottage Grove Sentinel says that after perusing n number of exchanges, it is inclined to revise a pre conceived view and admit that sometimes there is a dif ference between good English and newspaper English. It cites as one of its list of horrible examples "exhilirat ing" and says that, word, "despite its common use, ".is in no standard dictionary. AVo confess that wo hadn't observed common uso of the word in just, that form and readily agree Unit it is in no standard dictionary. But tho Sentinel's lesson in orthography is refreshing, not to say exhilarating. Isn't tho joke rather on tho Parent-Teacher associa tion of Portland! After lending the movement for the proper enro and safeguarding of children through the years, that organization gets itself chicled by the juvenile court for seeking a permit for participation by a largo group of children in an evening stage performance in which tho association is interested, whereupon it hastily abandons its request. "Wo hud forgotten whether wo paid the Inst install ment of last year's state income tax or not. Today we found tho receipt. This convinces us that one of the fairest things tho lato legislature did was to make Vision to enlorco collection ol tno outstanding portion of that tax from everybody in Oregon. Oh my, yes. Mrs. Laura hi. Tierce, wife of Governor Pierce, who died Sunday, was tho daughter of a sturdy pioneer fam ily and had lived in Oregon all hor life.

Was It Repealed, Brother Boyd? tllallas Itemizer) The editors of our esteemed con temporaries the Snlem Statesman and tho Salem Capital Journal, should take a course in "civics" as applied to Oregon affairs. The Statesman recently commented editorially on a section of tho Oregon state constitu tion which denies the right of suf frage to negroes. Apparently the writer is ignorant of the fact that that particular section of the consti tution was repealed by the people a few years ago. In a news stoTy the Capital Journal stated that Judge belt was "recently appointed to the supreme court by Governor Tierce." Taking Chances (Pendleton East Oregonisn) General Mitchell Is to Do reduced to tho rank of colonel hecauso of bis gal lant fight for a unified air service. He is an airman of vision and nerve and shortcomings In the air that he took a daring course in hopes of accom plishing something. Now he must pay tho price. The general can afford it. He sought to serve his country and a demotion while humiliating is not the highest sacrifice tho soldier is willing to make. At times men do more. If the air service is improved as a result of General Mitchell's efforts, that will be his reward. If results are not attained it will not bo because Mitchell did not try hard and risk much. If we need preparedness at all we need it in tho air and we do not hnve It. The present theory nt Washington seems to be that our reliance should be upon battleships and that old tubs with short range guns sro Just as good as modern ships with long range guns. We have scrapped all our good new ships and refuse to increase the range of our fleet so as to place it on a pa rwith the llritish fleet.
