Campaign Slogans It is amusing to read the va rious slogans which are being suggested for campaign purposes. Last week we printed one which appeared in the Oregonian which connected thedemocratic nominee with certain well-known mixed drinks, of A m e r i c a n origin. Judge Lo we l l , of Pendleton, writing to that paper, suggested that the Republicans use to offset this "Harding and Home.” A day or two later a Democrat got back at him by proposing instead "Harding and Hardship.” It is probable that many more will be set forth for it has been proved that a catchy slogan is very effec tive. It matters not whether it is rightly applicable or not, as a vast number of our enlightened voters do not take the trouble to think and study the questions in volved, as politicians well know. This is one of the weaknesses of a democracy, and often brings about the very oligarchical con dition which is the antithesis of a democracy.

July 29. 1920 Excuse our Blushing “ Among the valued exchanges com ing to our table each wee! is the East ern Clackamas News, published by Up ton H Gibbs at Estacada. Brother Gibbs is an occasional caller at the Out look office and is our nearest neighbor publisher in the territory east of the city ofPoitland. Me is making a cred itable success of his paper, alt the more conspicuous in view of th« severe phy sical handicap under which he is work ing. Mis paper is always newsy and is edited with a punch. That is, theie is always a point to what he has to say. If all the editors of the small town weeklies in Oregon would put out as clean, newsy and well edited paper as does Mr. Gibbs there would be little room for criticism or little morp to be desired. Me probably could have bet ter support from Ids subscribers and advertisers which would mean a better paper. Of this we are certain because Bro. Gibbs is the kind of a man to sac rifice bis personal comf 0 1 K or gain for the good of his com m unity/'—Gresham Outlook.

Oregon apple crop to raach 2,- 500,000 boxes. From all accounts the usually staid and sober state capital was jolted out of its normal calm dur ing the Elks convention at that place that week. It was report ed that moonshine was freely dispensed at $14.00 a quart. It must be said however, that the Elks were not responsible for this condition and feel keenly about it, and have so expressed themselves. The B. P. O. E. is ALL RIGHT._________ All Doubt is Removed The late David Bennett Hill, once governor of New York, in addressing a convention of his party, began J>y emphatically announcing “ 1 am a Democrat.” This is the stint and substance of Mr. Bryan’s refusal to runonthe prohibition ticket. With apolo gies to the late W. S. Gilbert who wrote the words to the "Pina fore,” it mav be* said in regard to Mr. Bryan: The Prohibitionists are looking up Harding’s record on the wet and dry question, which they claim is very unsatisfactory to ihem. For them this is consis tent, for their party would stul tify i t s e l f if it supported a candidate who was not uncom promisingly dry. Hats off to Sir Thomas Lipton, who is such a game sport, never allowing himself to be disgrun tled by disappointment and de fe a t He may not have won the America’s cup but he has won the American **steem and affec tion which is a good deal more worth while. I Cultivate your sense of humor, as you will need it during the coming presidential campaign. "What the country now needs, on the farms and in the large in dustrial plants, is not trained, educated or over-organized labor, but crude labor which eschews the white collar and can do a day’s work in return for aJiberal day’s pay.” —D e n v e r Rocky Mountain News. E L L IS’ CASH AND CARRY STORE Eliminates the expense of deliv ery boy, book-keeping girl and collection man; the cost of ledg ers, stationery, postage and face debts.

Buyers are coming from thirty miles around, including Portland, to get their groceries and feed at ELLIS’ CASH AND CARRY STORE, south of the postoffice. THE U N I V E R S A L CAR' Remember that when you bring your Ford car to us Lr mechanical attention that you get the genuine Ford service—materials, experien ced workmen and Ford factory prices. Your Ford is too useful, too valuable to take chances with poor mechanics, with equal poor quality materials. Bring it to us and save both time and money. We are authorized Ford dealers, trusted by the Ford Motor Com pany to look after the wants of Ford owners—that’s the assurance we offer. We are getting a few Ford cars and the first to come the first to receive delivery. According to the republican papers the speech of Senator Harding in accepting his nomina tion is a masterpiece of states manship. The democtat papers also concede it is a masterpiece but of another variety, that of meaningless verbiage. We wait expectantly for the opinion of the republican papers of Gover nor ('ox’s forthcoming speech in accepting the democratic nomi nation. Thankyou very much Bro. Sin clair for your most kind appreci ation which is far more than we deserve. It came most oppor tunely for we had just been hit on the head by a brickbat from ati estimable but irate reader who adjudged us guilty of lese majeste because of a quip we printed in our hist issue about the democratic presidential nom inee. For he himself has said it And it ’» grvatjy to hi* credit. That he’s a Democrat. Though Cox doe* make him rave. And his heart i* in the grave, He remains a Democrat. And in spite of the temptation Of another nomination. He remains a Democrat, He remains a Democrat.
