ATHENA. OREGON. MAY 5 1922
c!o much better than the republicans,
but to a well-grounded conviction
that they can hardly do worse.
Albert J. Beveridge, the Indiana
author and statesman, who was once
something of a radical in politics,
row exhibits pronounced conservative
tendencies. He even condemns the
"farm bloc" as a product of the new
order that interferes with the ac
customed progress of legislation. It
is probable that growth in years and
experience, and the thoughtful study
of economic and political questions,
has convinced Mr. Beveridge that
established principles of government
are not to be overturned in a day by
visionary reformers. Here in Oregon
we have found that the direct pri
mary, the initiative, the referendum
and the recall. ar- not the cure-alls
they were widely heralded to be for
the ills of the body politic. We are
all likely to be better off when we
come to depend less upon govern
mental frills and fancies, and more
upon fulfillment of the obligations of
n vigilant, faithful and conscientious
citizenship.
The movement on foot to estab
lish a Protestant hospital at Pendle
ton which will bo a county and not
a Pendleton enterprise is worthy of
every encouragement. The care be
stowed upon the aged an ailing is a
mark of an enlightened era. The
proper facilities are needed, and it
would appear that they are by no
means sufficient in this county. The
right place for the sick is a well
appointed and well-conducted hospi
tal, where they have the intelligent
care and treatment that cannot be
provided in the best, regulated homes.
Those who help this enterprise may
themselves profit by its fruition.
Lloyd George's prestige has sur
vived worse shocks than the news
that the American heavyweight
champion is far more popular in Ber
lin than the English premier.
The election of a former Portland
barber as mayor of Seattle will not
be regarded in Portland as a step
upward.
We do not know what the Chinese
are fighting for, unless it be to
make China unsafe for anybody.
An exchange tells of a wise old
minister who before parting with a
young couple he had joined in matri
mony, used to slip a card into the
bride's hand on which was printed
this advice "When you marry him
love him. After you marry him
study him. If he is honest humor
him- If he is generous appreciate
him. If he is sad cheer him. When
he is quarrelsome ignore him. If he
is slothful spur him. If he is noble
praise him. If he is confidential en
courage him. If he is secretive
trust him. If he is jealous cure him.
If he favors society accompany him.
When he does yoi' a favor thank
him. When he deserves it kiss him.
Let him think how well you under
stand him, but never lot him know
that you manage him."
Yet it is cold comfort for the wets
that wine has been declared exempt
from prohibition in Iceland.
We hear no more of the Kilkenny
cats. The strife there now is decid
edly unfelir.e.
If Woodrow Wilson has his way,
there'll be a broken Keed in old Missouri.

It costs only $1.47 a day to main

Northwest, on an average, according

But this low cost is for living, not

The fact that Dempsey's triumphal
progress in Europe has so far been

his palpable prejudice against fight

"The highwaymen got in just

The "wonder gM" psychic of Kan

An Ohio woman who is thought to

actuated each time by a certain defi

Beggared European kings have
reason to envy the American kind

If men heed the decree to wear

NATIONAL
COMMITTEEMAN
THE ONLY WESTERNER EVER ELECTED VICE-CHAIRMAN OF THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE
Keep the West in Power
The Republican National Committee consists of one member from each
state in the Union and is the political organization of the party.
In June, 1921, at the Committee's first meeting after the inauguration of
PRESIDENT WARREN G. HARDING, every state cast its vote for RALPH
E. WILLIAMS OF OREGON for vice-chairman of the Committee, recognizing
by their unanimous vote his fitness and ability as a leader to fill this responsible
position.
A vote for Ralph E. Williams for Republican National Committeeman will
confirm the action of the forty-eight states in electing him vice-chairman of the
Republican National Committee, a position never before held by a Western man.
Ralph E. Williams of Oregon, as vice-chairman of the Republican National
Committee, is directly in line to become National chairman, the highest position
attainable in the Republican organization.
A National Committeeman on the National Committee does not make or
execute the laws, but carries out the policies and platform of the party adopted
by the delegates at each previous National Convention.
Mr. Williams is senior member of the National Committee. Seniority in
this committee gives one the same power as seniority in the U. S. Senate.
