This is especially true in the history classes where the Literary Digest, in which comments and articles are be ing published about each of the can didates and the two main parties, is being read. In the American History class there are heated arguments for and against each candidate, as the students differ widely in their opinions. Many good points are brought up in these discussions which serve to give each student something new to think about. If the young people of today will take as much interest in future elections as they are taking in this present campaign, no one will have reason to complain of the lack of interest shown in politics or in voting.

Immediately after receiving the kick-off, the Wa-Hi warriors march ed to a touchdown. The try for point was good. Athena received the kick off but was held for downs and forced to kick. The Athena men could not seem to solve the Wa-Hi attack, and Wa-Hi immediately made another touchdown. The try for point fail ed. After the disastrous first quarter Athena seemed to fathom Wa-Hi's at tack and prevented them from mak ing much yardage. The second quart er was about even. Neither team could make much progress. In the third quarter the Wa-Hi players seemed to get tired, as this was their second game in two days, and Athena slightly outplayed them. The fourth quarter was about even until Athena recovered a fumble on Wa-Hi's 30 yard line. The team was roused to a fighting stage and with terrific plunges, worked the ball to the 8-yard line with one minute and a half to play. On the fourth down Athena made a touchdown just as the gun-shot ended the game. The point after touchdown was allowed when a Wa-Hi player threw his helmet and hit the ball just as it was about to be kicked. ' . The players who started the game for Athena were as follows: Wayne Pinkerton, L. E.; Stafford Hansell, L. T.; Oral Michener, L. G.; Cecil Pambrun, C; Jack Moore, R. G.; Lee Foster, R.

COWAN PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON Athena, Oregon A Contrast in Principles and Parties Republican F OR the protection of labor, industry, agriculture and citizenship the Republican party started the protective tariff. The Paine-Aldrich bill which was wiped out by democratic leader ship in 1913 and the Fordney McCumber bill which went into effect in 1922, closed America's doors to the free entry of European manufactured goods, produced by cheap labor, and the livestock and agriclutural products of South America, New Zealand and Australia. Under these a duty of 42 cents a bushel was placed on wheat; 15 cents a bushel on corn; V2 to 2 cents a pound on cattle; 50 cents per hundred pounds on potatoes; $2 a head on sheep and 31 cents per pound on scoured wool. Democratic THE Democratic party has always opposed a high protective tariff. It stands for "tariff for revenue only or a "competitive tariff." When the Underwood law went into effect there followed in its wake a near panic that was only averted by the World War in Europe. Wheat, corn, cattle, sheep, wool, potatoes and other products were placed on the free list. The farmer suffered from foreign competition, and scores of fac tories closed down and brought on unemployment and - bread lines. Revenue for government expense became so low that the Stamp Act of October 22, 1914, went into effect and a tax was required on all notes, deeds and mortgages and perfumes and other sundries. THE tariff is the safe-guard of American industry, agriculture and com merce. If changes are to be made in existing tariff laws they can best be entrusted to friends in the tariff party the Republican party. Protec tion against foreign competition means prosperity.
