April 13, 1922 H u N H S T Y BEST PO LICY To placate Indian Mohanirri'- dan», li.iia in gave back lo Tuiltey greater part of what she forfeit­ ed in the world war. This was on<- r. a di of the refusal of the United St itis to enter the league of na tio ii. A s s member of that bod« t i i nation’s influence for the high t i't la o o which the league w»a f<> i ided would have prevented m , h of the bloodshed indulged iu y the unspeakable T u rk. ,.ow the Mohammedans of India tbr-ialoo rebellion any way, and tin i country has tied itself up with a c ique of foreign nations more li ,ily than it would have been b" md iu the league. Honesty jsould have been the be-t policy all around. th e ■ince the republican adminis- Ir.iti'in came in we have spots on ihe so i which the astronomers tell us h ive caused this cold, backward S|>riug, and Saiurday morning snow fell in Halaey until the ground was white. The Portland weather bu- r an reports that this seaaou is the c »Ideal iu nineteen .years. The Arbuckle ¡and other movie-actor scandals have come up and taxes are higher than ever before. No wonder B ill Bryan wants a change There is a brisk campaign on fur a federal Bunday law. It ia a st**p towards the seme old union of church and state which has wrecked so many nations. As Turkish h'gois would compel people to keep Friday, eo bigots here compel them to keep Sunday. Religion crammed down anybody’s throat by law never sets welt on the stomach and in lime comes up again. Some undesirable chickens have come home to roost and the politi­ cal jugglers who defeated the league of nations proposed iu the United States s< bate are frantically seek­ ing somebody else on whom to lay the blauie for the fact that Uncle Sam can’t collect hie money from Germany and thealiiee can. Louis Bean of Eugene has three planks in his governorship cam­ paign platform that the Enterprise* approves of. They are opposition to “ invisible government.” j)e- mand for abolition of the majority of the expensive state boards and commissions, and an income tax. —— ........
