Tammany Hall and the re-union of the Podunk Indians for |
no one pays any attention to it anyway except to see that
it fulfills its utilitarian purpose.
This zest for experimentation is bad enough when con-
cerned with important matters but when such useful little
things as postage stamps are expanded and proliferated for
the purpose of filling the collection books of those who have
nothing better to do, it becomes a serious matter and one
which we wish would be made a major issue in the coming
campaign. Smaller — incidently — cheaper — stamps
should be a rallying cry.
The race is run and the candidate who has been wear

with his winter overcoat and hunt up the comfortable
clothes discarded last March. It will be hoped in some
quarters that the pleasant smile and the jolly good humor1
are not laid aside as well. It has been enjoyable this past
six weeks with so many people acting friendly, speaking
pleasantly and looking hopeful. It has been a fine exper
ience for candidates and voters alike and even those who
must inevitably lose have lost nothing by it, but have, in
the main, gained poise and friendships.
The country may contemplate the future without ao
many apprehensions of secuity since the Frazier-Lemke bill

Rule Oregon?
For more than two years the economic, in-
dustial and agricultural life of this state has
been in a state of almost constant turmoil be
cause of far reaching labor disturbances.
Lives here have been sacrificed; our farmers
have suffered tremendous losses; the wheels
of industry have been silenced.

WHY?
Irresponsible labor leadership has brought
about this condition. For the good of organ
ized labor, and for the good of all the people,
the responsibility of labor organizations must
be fixed by statute.
