THE BEST MEN WON
The Republican and Democratic parties in Oregon will
both be led for governor by steady reliable men in the cam-
paUtn before the November election. Oregon is returning
to sanitv as is many other parts of the country. Those
who made extravagant or radical promises or had other
reforms to air were turned down flatly throughout the state
joe Dunne the Republican nominee, while a step higher
as a progressive than General Martin. Democrat. Is not a
reformer but a man who believes that we should build
firmlv on the foundations we already have. The bogey of
free power is forgotten and "Joseph's shoes never wen>
filled. All that will vanish with Go’ eraor Meier.
The sales tax turned down for the second time has left
the schools in a bad plight. But perhaps Uncle Sam can
spare us more money this next term which w ll allow for
a few more weeks of school than otherwise. All that is left
in this respect is hope.
As we see it Democratic chances for any victories in the
election this fall are rather slim with the possible excep
tion of governor. The Republican party which was in the
dumps a few months back seems to be coming back strong
so far as Oregon Is concerned. Oregon never had a better
chance to gain three Republican congressmen with strong
men running in each district. The overwhelming vote of
confidence given Congressman Mott indicates he will win
this fall. Mott Is the type of progressive Republican that
will no doubt lead the party in the near future. His recog
nition as assistant floor leader and his admittance into con
ference with the heads of the party nationally all indicate
this course.
The Republican party is quietly being brought up-to-
date. It should profit by the mistakes of the new deal and
know what experiments not to try when once it again re
turns to power
IMPROVING THE NRA
We think the National Recovery Administration is tak
ing a wise course in deciding to abandon the effort to place
everv kind of business, down to the smallest one-man
tailor shop, under some sort of a code. We can see where
the codes of fair competition may prove in the long run
to be of the greatest value to producers and consumers
alike, as well as to wage-earners. In the large competitive
industries.
We understand that control of operations under the
codes is being gradually transferred to the industries them-
seles and that the expectation is that before long the hand
of the Government will be entirely removed, except as it
may serve as a mediator in disputes between industries or
within an industry.
But we have never quite understood how the Govern
ment expected to be able to police the whole country to see
to it that no cobbler half-soled a pair of shoes for a nickel
or a dime less than some other cobbler wanted for the Job
or that every filling station lived up strictly to the rule of
the forty-hour week for employees. Local businesses deal
ing only with local customers, particularly when they are
small concerns operated by the owner and a few helpers,
must consider the service to their trade first of all. whether
it means conforming to the customs or rules imposed for
some other line of business in some other community, or
not.
We agree in principle with the idea of keeping unfair
competition from outside of the trade territory of indepen
dent local merchants. We have not seen much of that so
far, however, in the operations under the NRA. It was our
understanding, and the President’s declared purpose, to
put the small business man on an equality with the big
business men. From all we hear, big business is well pleased
with the results under the codes so far, but many small
business men are not.
Therefore, as we have said, we welcome the news that
these small, local businesses are not to be included in the
new set-up of the NRA.
MEMORIAL DAY
It is now nearly seventy years since the last shot
was fired in that tremendous conflict between the North
and South which history records as the American Civil
War The pitiful little handful of survivors of that great
struggle are now old, old men. Whatever hatred or bitter
ness they felt for each other has long since been resolved
by the kindly, soothing hand of time.
It is not necessary here to go into the causes of that
titantic struggle. Leave that to the historians and inter
prétera, who will not have finished in another seventy
years, nor in seventy times seventy, their efforts to make
the events of the 1860’s prove this, that or the other theory.
The fact remains that the survivors and the descendants
of both sides have equal cause for pride.

We believe we are right in saying that all the rancor,
all the sectional bitterness that that great struggle engen
dered, and which hung for so long like a funeral pall over
the reunited Nation, vanished long since. It began to dis
appear when the sons of men who had worn the Northern
blue marched in the ranks of ’98 with those whose fathers
had worn the Southern grap; its last trace disappeared
when the boys from Texas and Mississippi swung into ac
tion at Chateau-Thiery alongside their khaki-clad brothers
from Vermout and Minnesota.
On the 30th day of this month, all over the North and
in many of the States of the South, the Nation will again
pay its annual tribute of remembrance to the brave men
who fought for their native laud in three great wars. In
some states there have been or are yet to be held special
memorial services for those who fought for the Confed
eracy. But tiie tears that are shed and the wreaths that are
laid are, all or them, a nation’s tribute to what we must still
regard as the highest possible expression of the nobility
of the human character, which does not hesitate to risk
dear life itself, not for any possible selfish gain but for the
sake of others.
