Mr. McArthur has wisely decided not to enter the race for senator, fcu: to sand for re-election as mem rer of the house at Washington. An ii'nition for promotion to the senate is laudable and narurai In any con pvsswan; but it involves considera tion v. Men any one conscious of the utiieruinties of politics and devoted to the public interest cannot ignore. Mr. McArthur is in his third term, and has acquired important commit teeships and a position of influence in the general membership. A new representative has much to learn and a long row to hoe before he gets far in either house at Washington. It is axiomatic that those districts which make a sound decision as to their representative at the outset and keep him there are best off in na tional legislation. Mr. McA.-thur's most important committee is for naval affairs. The interest of Portland and Oregon in that subject is vital. He can ac complish much there, and it would be a positive public misfortune if for any reason he should give way for another on his own motion or if the public should displace him. Another Oregon representative, Mr. Hav.ley, is on ways and means, and the third, Mr. Sinnott, is chairman of public lands. The state is the beneficiary of the long service of its three rep resentatives. Oregonian. AIR TRESPASS. The automobile necessitated the manufacture of a lot of new laws; it produced the traffic policeman and the motorcycle cop; it gave us, to gether with innumerable advantages, the penalties attached to joy-riding and motor banditry. It would have been altogether fun ny a few years back to suggest the need of laws regulating traffic in the air and yet such laws are on the way. A determined farmer found a fly ing major and a damaged machine in his field of corn recently. The air plane, in landing, had knocked down much corn and the farmer demanded payment, which the major couldn't give him, so he impounded the ma chine, placed it in a canvas enclosure and charged 25 cents a look. He took in $50 and was satisfied. An aviator in Missouri was fined J25 for flying within 10 feet of a farm house. ' Flying depury sheriffs have been sworn in by Lorain county, 0., to regulate aviation. Common law holds that a land owner's rights extend to the center of the earth, straight down, and as far upwards as he cares to rarry im provements without jeopardizing his neirhbors. Thus far crime has not sullied the records of aviation, save in movie films. A few young women have oeen asducted by flving villians, but , all have been rescued. ' But as flying becomes more com mon, outlawry will certainly find a new medium. Smuggling already has been attempted by European aviators. A mass of damage suits' have arisen as the result of a dirigi ble falling into the heart of Chicago's loop. At present, farmers seem most in clined to restrict the activities of air men. They feel, no doubt, as they did when the first automobiles came roaring past, scattering chicken? and leaving Shep biting clouds of dust as he galloped in pursuit of the monster. Prejudice will abate when the meadow is fenced off for a landing field and there is a hangar alongside the silo. i THE COUNTY FAIR. ! Few residents of the city who have not lived a good deal in the country ; can realize how much that time-hon- j ored institution, the county fair, has; been, and still is, to the rural popu lation. To hosts of farmers and their i families it is one of the great events 1 of the year. Not only does it afford j much-needed recreation being an j occasion of social reunions and inno-j cent hilarities it also has been powerful factor in the farmer's edu- j cation. Not a little of his political enlightenment has been obtained in the past at this annual meet, for as piring statesmen have been only too ready to gather there, to in-.truct him in his duties as a citizen. The ora torical treats have not infrequently been useful and inspiring. But, in the farmer's view, far more inter- j esting and important have been the numberless practical le?sons about his own business which he has learned. The county fair gives to its pa trons a clear demonstration of what their neighbors have been doing to cxa'.t an honoraMe calling. Exhibits and addresses reveal and emphasize new and r.iore profitable methods and means of making crops and handling livestock. The results of high cf.eiency are shon in prize pumpkins, apples, grain, cattle and poultry. Judgment is thereby sharp ened and emulation e.xcited. And we must not forget how, in b-gone iiay, -reeds of horses were improved be cause of tests of speed and endur ance on the circular track laid out on ;very fair ground. All this has had 1 stimulating influence on multitude if fa-mers. Many a successful agri culturist has admitted his indebted ness to the fair for incentives of i-mest value. Though local in their scope, coun'y "airs react to the benefit of the w role irion. for they arouse keen compe ition that tends to raise the stand ards of quality and increase the Tian-itv of essential farm products, "rhtly do the Department of Art "jltiire at Washington and the ari--iltural press display a deep interest :n these eatherin and enconrae heir holding and improvement. ' cslic's Weekly. DID YOU KNOW That the majority of Philadelphia's .linisters earn less than $1500 per ear. That a pair of shoes sold by a manufacturer for $5.50 was dis mayed in a Boston store 400 yards rom the factory marked $12. That while the telephone systems .ere under Government control, a epair man went into a broker's of ice in New York to repair a tele ;hone. He finished in fifteen min jtes and then stood watching the icker for two hours at Government xpense. That Representative Ma,son of illinois demands that American roops be withdrawn from Siberia, :laiming they are kept there as "a :ollection agency to enforce pay nent on some ancient Russian bonds teld in this country." That Representative Carl W. Rid Jick, speaking in Congress "as a Main farmer from the far Western state of Montana," said: "The big gest contribution to high living costs has been the waste and extravagance of public administration." MISINFORMING PEOPLE AS TO THE REAL ISSUE. rrom the Sentinel, Milwaukee, Wis. The President persists in attempt ing to misinform the people as to the issue. ' He insists on making it appear hat the issue is "treaty or no treaty." Whereas every informed intelli 1 ;ent person must know by now that ; he real issue is, the treaty with, or ' he treaty without reservations. ; In his uncandid persistence in this : ittempt to fool the people, he waxes pathetic. "If," he said to the folks ; it Omaha, with tears in his voice, "1 "elt that I personally stood in the ; vay of this treaty, 1 would be glad to die that it might be consummated." Nobody v..mts him to die. Nobody expects him to die. Every decent American wishes him health, long life and prosperity. It is not a question of his dying to expedite the treaty. It is a question of his yielding a couple of inches to the honest and patriotic and prob ably wise views of the body which shares the treaty power in the mat ter of those reservations. That is all he will have to do to secure ratification of the treaty. :i.!l I!!!!!!! lilliil ll!l!!!!i;!l!l!l; 3 ;"i-' V i f : i.'J'. i' - - i i, , v - in U't- tt X.i te? r- a 1 Ho ?
