A TEMPERATE VIEW
We are glad to see our own view
of the exposition unpleasantness con
firmed by the Enterprise Record
Chieftain, which says in its current
issue:
"A Portland exposition would be
a ereat attraction. It would be vis
ited by many people of the state and
would bring to Oregon thousands ol
visitors from without, many of
whom would become interested here.
The benefit would accrue chiefly to
Portland. ,
"In launching the project the pro
moters chose a most unhappy sea
son. Throughout the world business
depression and uncertainty prevail.
The rural parts of Oregon have suf
fered their full share of this depres
sion, and the eastern part of the
state has been afflicted grievously.
It is trying to get on its feet, and it
finds the effort calls for all the cour
age, all the resources it possesses.
An added burden, particularly for a
project which would yield no immedi
ate gain, and promised little ultimate
profit, aroused such hostility as has
not been seen in many years.
"Some men argue that Portland
and the state are at loggerheads;
that a great and dangerous enmity
has arisen between the two. This is
far from the case. The state ad
mires Portland heartily and wishes
it nothing but abundant prosperity.
But in this particular transaction the
state feels that Portland failed to
grasp the point of view of the re
mainder of Oregon. Now it is past
and will be forgotten."
It is well that the republican party
of Umatilla county has an efficient
organ at last. It has spent more
money and reecived less in return
in bolstering up the Pendleton
Tribune under former regimes, than
would elect several Newberrys to the
United States Senate. But the ol'
Trib. has always been different un
der the nursing of Harry Kuck. And
right now it is entirely different
from the difference before. If a re
publican county court and a republi
can district attorney need cleaning
up, why, demmit, let the republican
organ do it. "Ish ka bibble."
Perhaps the source of Newberry's
strength in the United StateB Sen
ate, which has resulted in his suc
cess at last, lies in the knowledge of
other republican senators that their
seats are tarred with the same stick.
Inasmuch as the proposed alliance
between France and Britain is for de
fensive purposes, we are not disposed
to regard it as an offensive one.
best and Germany his second best
customer. Exports were $2,380,000,
000 in 1921 as against $1,500,000,000
in 1913. Imports were $865,000,000,
compared to $750,000,000 in 1913,
Briand has resigned as premier of
France, which has failed to appreci
ate the good work of this able and
devoted statesman.
The Anglo-Irish pact pleases the
pope, which with the exception of the
De Valera crowd just about makes
it unanimous.
If we "get" China, she would also
have her open door regarded as an
exit by a certain Asiatic neighbor.
Newberry may prove to be the ad
ded straw that will eventually break
the g. o. p. elephant's back.
That boot-legging submarine said
to be active on the Sound, is surely
a rum boat.
The new Irish government is due to
find that it has something to govern.

There has been some Interesting
correspondence In the Scientific Ameri

hair "turning white over-night," and
now Elmer Q. Still of Llvennoie,

viewpoint of a phrenologist. He as
serts that there are many cases Oil
record In which a great shock to a
specially sensitive emotion was fol
lowed at once by whitening of the
hair Just over the region of the
brnln In which this emotion Is sit

large bump of cautiousness, who was
upset from a sail boat and clung all
night to Its bottom. Iu the morning
his hair had turned grey In two tufts
the size of a half dollar on each side
of his head, right over the centers of
cautiousness.
Another was the case of a woman
whose hair fell out over the region of
conjugal love while her husband was
undergoing a serious operation. The

The region of conjugal love Is situated
about two Inches directly buck hori

Another Is that of a man with a

over the region of phlloprogonltive-

but all of them express the national
feeling and the aspirations of a sub

that tho World war established

A favorite story Is of the Princess

Krok's three daughters. She was In
telligent, with perfect morals and ac
tive In deeds for the welfare of her
people. Endowed as a secrcss, the
people chose her to he their ruler.
Llbussa In return asked the people to
choose their king. They waived this
privilege, and tho queen sent them far
away to find n young peasant, who
would be plowing In a field with two
oxen, whose spots the queen described.
The. messengers brought back this man
and he became king.
Together Llbussa and her husband
founded Prague (Praha), the queen
prophesying the city would become
world famous. The peasant king de
llned Us limits by throwing up a fur
