Hoover Sentiment j
Looking at the Hoover boom from !
anv angle, it is easily the most inter-!
esting novelty ever presented in a j
pre-nomination campaign. 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

Charity that begins at home is
charity nevertheless. 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

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

raham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis;
and between William Hohenzollern

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.

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.

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.
