If the people wish a dictator they should have one and if they wish a democracy they should have that. Either are suoces ful types lor certain peoples at certain stage« in tTieir development Now dictatorships are only over­ thrown by bloodshed and after oppression has made the people angry and desperate. Democracies are lost through carelessness of the electorate. • - We of the United States have been told /or the past several mon­ ths that we cannot have our old type of democracy without submit ting to rules and changes that smack of dictatorship; that a ,dem ocracy is too slow moving a form of government to he depended on in times of stress. We believe this may well be doubted. The temper of a nation as large as this country can not be expec­ ted to change rapidly. ' A short generation ago we boasted of our liberties and it is difficult to bel­ ieve that we are so soon ready for governmental rulings that take away privileges we have so long cherished. , There js already evidence suf­ ficient to show that farmers are chafing under restrictions placed on their planting and harvesting; If farming is a way of life, a§ many insist, one of the chief rea­ sons -why it is followed is that it permits great freedom of ac­ tion. Labor has refused to accept governmental restrictions and still a large percentage oflaborers are without the fold of the unions. Business men want to remain in dependent and not many join their own organizations. Perhaps, someday, when our pioneer heritage of independence and our love of liberty has become diluted with the newer economic doctrines imported from Europe we shall be ready to accept gov­ ern m en t^ dictatorship and give homage to some one who promises security and safety in exchange for liberty. We may even forget entirely the injunction that those who would trade liberty for security are unworthy of either. We may. But this will be a different nation when that happens and it will be I populated by a different people. We will make a decision in this matter this fall in the quadrien- nial election. _ If » majority of the voters decide that we must have governmental supervision to be happy and successful; if they decide that vast expenditures from borrowed money aire essential to livelihood; if they decide that the government is responsible for the people instead of the people respon sible for the government we shall be on our way to the practices that are now going on in Europe. A governmental dictatorship is bad; an economic dictatorship (and we have had a semblance of that) is bad. But when both are incor­ porated in the same group the end of free government is at hand. FASHIONS . J iur grand children are going et a big laugh out of pictures • > ■andma when she was a girl ar vore a pancake hat, but just tl ame the modern miss is wearir hat kind of a hat and h e r . n ore short skirt«. x Now baseball and football ar layed according to set rules ar fifials are there to see that thoc •ules are obeyec, and in politic? too, there are rulesafter a fash’oi although they are are ocoasionly broken. But in fashions there ar no rules at all. The powers tha< be in Paris or New York decide that this year milady will wea' plaids and short and fat or tall and slim milady wears plaids. If fashion orders that the feminine gender shall be willowy and curve less we have diets that are guanan teed to reduce* her to a mere shad ow; if fashion ordains that cur­ ves shall be the rule there is de­ mand for bread and potatoes that raises the price of theste foo^ stuffs. - The individual who follows the style has no more to do about w hat is worn than does a buck private about his garb. We don’t have to worry about whether the browns or reds will win as in baseball. And ain’t - it wonderful how they manage to look pretty anyway? AN ASSET One who drives by Celilo- these fall days is sure to be impressed with the number of eastern cars parked along the i’oadside'~'and at the number of eastern visitors who stand agape at the antics of the fish and the fishermen. We have come to believe that in spite of all that has been said about the wonder of seeing Ind­ ians snare salmon from the spray of Celilo falls we have been too quiet about the magic of t. These people are actually entranced. We are wont to say that the Indian is. a lazy cuss who never works and who, as a ward of the government, has an easy life Yet not one of us takes so many chances to obtain a bit of winter’s food as does the copper colored brave who perches precariously on a wet and slippery board above the falls and snares his King Salmon. One false step and there i. moaning in camp. No one can live in the rushing water. Perhaps that is the attraction of it for out visitors. We like to see dangerous contests either between men and animals, as in our Round-Ups, or between men and nature.
