It can be j likened to nothing else in the annals i of national politics. It is without parallel or precedent. Never before has there been the least doubt con cerning the party affiliations and par ty regularity of a man aspiring to or mentioned for the presidential nom ination. Hoover is not a Democrat unless you set up the theory that associa tion for three years in extraordinary war work with the most partisan Democratic president since Andrew Jackson makes the food administra tor a Democrat. It is not clear that he is a Republican. Prior to 1912 he was. and then he allied himself with the Progressive party, which died in 1916. Since then he has not been in politics. As a matter of cold fact. Hoover has never sat in the game of poli tics. Under the rules which were established about 115 years ago by Thomas Jefferson and lesser men, Hoover could not qualify as standard-bearer for the Democratic party. Bv bending the rules almost to the breaking point, he would be eligible for the head of the Republican ticket, though political leadership has never engaged his attention. He is d high-grade, conspicuously suc cessful engineer of fine intellect- ex ceptional administrative geniu, and great heart and soul. As a concrete illustration of the quality of the Hoover movement, note the non-partisan gathering of prominent men and women in San Francisco, where Hiram Johnson lives. Without the remotest inten tion of forming a new party, they sounded the slogan. "Hoover for President," and decided to send a letter to every registered voter in California asking him to state wheth er or not he wants Hoover as the candidate of his party, whatever that party happens to be. The Republi cans of California, through the party leaders, are already committed to Johnson's candidacy, but what are the views of the rank and file of the party? Let us wait and learn. It will not be surprising if Hoover organizations, following the Califor nia lead, are effected in other states, particularly those which have not adopted the presidential preference primary. The sentiment thus sound ed will be of intense interest, and the information elicited will have a po tent influence one way or another on the action of the national conven tions. Portland Telegram. Dinner Anger If ten women were asked to tell the most exasperating experience of their married life, we believe nine of them would say, "the preparation of a nice dinner and then have, hubby or friends or relatives fail to show up on time." The dinner gets cold, or is over done and everything goes to smash including the wife's disposition. And you can't blame her. What would Mr. Business Man say if his merchandise were continually coming in late: or Mr. Professional Man if his clients or patients always came after the crisis had passed. I believe the little wife's anger over a spoiled dinner would be like the happy smile of childhood in com parison with the wrath of the man. Let's all of us make a little extra erfort to keep not only our dinner, hit all our engagements promptly. Red Cross Policy Perhaps the American Red Cross has been influenced by the warning given by returning travelers from Europe against extending aid to the extent of pauparizing the people by leading them to rely too little on their own efforts, and perhaps by knowledge that other agencies are working efficiently to relieve various suffering peoples, but in either event it seems to have decided wisely in dividing its available fund of $30, 000,000 for use in 1920 almost equ ally between F.urope and our own country'- For the former country $15,000,000 has been set aside; work already begun in Siberia is to receive $1.2M),000; the remainder will be ex pended at home if so much is needed, and otherwise will constitute the nu cleus of a fund for future domestic - - lie A S N .-V.' 1 V f.Ws, .MS OS V Vs V v n . sw A Republican Candidate for President X.

The Red Cross was founded as a war organization, ; but it soon found that peace has its j tragedies no less than war, and in j the last third of a century preceding the great European conflict it be came a mighty force for relief in fire, earthquake, famine and flood among our own people. Here its ef forts have always been constructive and never pauperizing, and in mak ing them so it has had the benefit of the innate spirit of independence of the people. It has never had to re sort to elaborate argument to show that the most a community ought to :xpect was to be placed in a position to help itself. Its benevolences, after immediate needs have been met, have always taken the form of seed to plant, or tools with which to work. or raw materials turmsnea in tne form of loans and its beneficiaries have never asked for more. So employed, a relief fund be comes a revolving fund, capable of replenishment with a minimum tax on donors and obtaining the greatest possible good from every dollar ex pended. But the pressing require ments of peoples stricken by sudden disaster call for money on hand, and people who apreciate the capacity of the Red Cross for prudent distri bution of its largesses will be glad that it has decided not to be caught with an empty treasury in time of need at home. The decision of the heads of the organization also is sig nificant as marking the transition from war to peace. The principle that God helps them who help them selves, humanely interpreted, can be adopted without injustice to any de serving people. Oregonian. "A difference of opinion," Mr. Bryan calls the relationship between himself and the President which was developed on Jackson's Day. Pre cisely. There was also a "difference of opinion" between George Wash ington and George III; between Ab raham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis; and between William Hohenzollern and the Governments of France and Great Britain. Differences of opin ion are sometimes very interesting things. Harvey's Weekly. The City Beggar The beggar is, fortunately, a rare sight in this community, but is one of the commonest in the large cities of the country, and worse than all, you can't tell the deserving from the fake. Indeed, begging in the largest cities is a highly developed indus try, i In Philadelphia, the other day, one beggar shot another while the two were riding in an automobile owned j by one of the two. In the same city, i says Spillane. the Philadelphia news- paperman, a man was stabed by a woman in rags who was leading a blind man in rags and asked to buy a pencil. Pencil selling is a very profitable business for the profes sional beggars, because most men pay the five cents for one and refuse the pencil. In this case, the man ac costed called a policeman. He said he didn't think the man was blind. The policeman was reluctant to ar rest and a crowd that gathered took the side of the beggar. But the party arrived at the police station finally. There it was found that the man was not blind. Then a bank book was found on the woman showing deposits of several thous ands of dollars. Thus the city! All the thieves, sharpers and loafers in Christendom flock to the big cities where they can live without working. If that were not bad enough, we find other ele ments of these overgrown communi ties expecting to get the daily bread : with less and less work. GATE WHEAT.MARKET1NG .

Bowers Shoe Shop Main Street Heppner A committee of 22 prominent Ore gon wheat growers was apointed Sat urday afternoon to investigate the proposed co-operative wheat market ing plan offered by the Washington Wheat Growers' Association through Aaron Sapiro, attorney. Dr. C. J. Smith, of Portland heads the commit tee. The committee will meet at the Umatilla county library Saturday, February 7, to investigate the project from all angles, and probably deter mlne whether the farmers of this sec tion care to adopt the plan already being advanced in Washington and M.'ho. Antagonism 's Shown. Kvidence of antagonism between j the new movement and the Tri-State Terminal company, in which locat men are interested, was shown by heated debates between W. W. Har rah of Pendleton, formerly a director of the defunct Farmers' Union Grain agency, and Sapiro. Harrah champ ions the terminal company. The afternoon session was devoted largely to debate regarding the rela tive merits of the co-operative system as offered by Sapiro and the other marketing concerns, of a semi-cooperative nature. Following the arguments Sapiro asked that farmers in Oregon consid er the plan advanced from all angles, making haste neither to accept nor rpject the idea. He said that book lets setting forth the entire plan will shortly be mailed to all farmers of wheat in the Northwest. Inquiry to he Made. While features of the collective marketing plan as applied to the Cal ifornia fruit associations impressed the few local growers present, there was evidently a good amount of skep ticism regarding its working with wheat. Prominent growers here to day declared they would require con siderable education before joining an asociation which requires the pledge of their crop for six years. Frequent failure of former attempts along these lines is declared responsible. At the morning session Mr. Sapiro declared that co-operative selling has been highly successful among fruit growers of California and can be ap plied with equal success to the mar keting of wheat in the three north western states. Mr. Sapiro outlined points of the California system and debated with members present regar ding points at issue. Want Crop for (I Years. Grain growers were asked to as sign their crops for six years to this proposed marketing association. A committee of 11 is already at work In Washington seeking farmers to sign up. Sapiro said, and if 25 per cent up. Sapiro said, and if 25 per cent of the wheat in Oregon, Washington and Idaho can be obtained for the six years organization will be effected. X. I).

Illllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlillllllll j y l!i How to Guarantee Spring Delivery of Hudson and Essex Open Models No large Money Outlay Required. Make Your Choice Now. We Will Store It For You and Insure You Against Disappointment lu the light of the year just closed, it is not conjecture to assert that a shortage of Hudson and Essex cars is sure to recur this Spring. More than 22,000 Essex cars were sold in the past twelve months. The factory capacity was increased time after time. Beginning with a daily production of 30 cars, it reached 125 cars daily. Yet we were never able to overtake advance orders. A similar condition was true with re spect to Hudson. You remember how scores waited in vain for delivery. Perhaps you were among those disappointed. Practically our entire quota of both Hudson and Essex cars were sold weeks ahead. Few were able to get delivery who had not placed their orders ahead. Settle the Delivery Worry Now This year we have arranged a special plan to guarantee you delivery, during the acute rush of orders. It will require no large outlay of mon ey. You can place your order now, We will have your car ready for you on the day you want it. Thus you dispose of all concern about getting your Hudson or Essex when you want it. It will be a source of satisfaction to know you are insured against having to accept some les3 wanted car, when the season for open type3 crowds the market with more buyers than we can supply. If your preference is for a light car what choice equals the Essex? It represents a new, unexpected value, it brings to the light car field such qual ity and line performance as was hitherto found only among large costly cars. Note the Quality of the Essex If speed is your requirement see if tho Essex does not meet it. Where luxury and finish are demanded compare the Essex with any car. it is needless to speak of the Hudson. All know what it has done. Its records, which prove supremacy throughout the range of performance, are confirmed by the satisfaction that more than 80,000 owners know in their Super-Sixes. The supply of Hudsons and of Essex has never been sufficient for the demand. You can only insure yourself against disappointment in getting either of these popular cars, by placing your order un der the convenient plan we have set forth above.
