Harding of Ohio and Calvin Cool idge of Massachusetts. Senator Harding is not known in the West as he is in the East, and yet every citizen who has followed the trend of current events couit. uot help but know that the Senator is a tower of strength, not only to the party but to the Nation. We firmly believe that Western people will learn to know better, in the com ing months, of the man who has been chosen to the leadership of the, party, and let us hope, the leadership of America. The Ohio Senator is a middle of the road man. He cannot be classed progressive, although he stood with Roosevelt on a number of large ques tions, such as preparedness; and on the other hand he is too much up and coming to be put with the stand-pat ters, more especially that delightful democratic term, "the old Guard." Almost before the wires got cold, some of our democratic friends were hastening forward with the informa tion that all was not well in the re publican camp, that the nominee was hand-picked by the Old Guard, and hints of Wall Street were made. Such talk will do Senator Harding no harm. There appears to be nothing but commendation for Senator Harding's political activities from the begin ning. His record has been one of in tense service, and his record in Con gress is an open book. He was a most unobtrusive candidate for the presidential nomination and the dele gates from state after state swung to him after native sons and "regu lars" had developed insufficient strength, anyone of them, to carry the convention. The cry of "Hard ing, Harding" was a sincere call from the unbossed delegates and it Is an excellent omen of party success In the November election. Governor Coolidge was unanimous ly chosen as the vice presidential nominee. He seemed the logical running mate for Harding. Gover nor Coolidge first gained nation-wide prominence, when as governor he es tablished with a firm hand, law end order and caused the policemen's strike in Boston to utterly fizzle out. His record in his native state of Massachusetts is one of political suc cesses. It has been said that he will not get labor's vote. This remains to be seen, of course. Such talk may be justified from the stand the governor has taken in knocking the policemen's union into a cocked hat. But the people of Massachusetts be lieved the governor was right and we believe the people of the Nation at large hold to that same opinion. The Hideous "Shivaree" There is no American custom that could be more honored in the breach than the custom of making things as hideous and as uncomfortable as possible for the bride and groom. The fool antics of alleged friends and often of entire strangers, as the result of a wedding, have caused deaths and sickness and disfigure ments for life and a charivari party should be regarded by the law as a mob inciting to riot and be given both barrels. Corvallis Gazette Tinies. Contented is the man of small means and a happy family. He is ambitious to excel in his work, but has not desire to control the earth, says the Sheridan Sun. Denipsey, the championship prize fighter denies that he broke his wife's jaw. Maybe he didn't hit her with hin famous "left." Hiram can't kick. California and Oregon stood by him until all hope had fled. The Oregon "lawgivers" are busy. Alreudy nine bills for constitutional amendment have been filed with the secretary of state. That's all some people In Oregon have to do, Just ait around and meddle with the consti tution. They would add more to It also, by initiating five more bills which may eventually become laiws. The man that said "it Is easier to vote taxes than to pay them" certain ly said a mouthful. Title and riches go to Spokane Ice man, reads duily headline. We can't see anything unusual In that, unless It might be the title part of It. ! Tenantry Is Awful in the Cities j There is no doubt that a change must come in liotue-ow niug iu this j country if the mass of our people are I to be true blue, patriotic American citizens. It has long been a matter of serious alarm that tenantry was increasing in the country. We know that a tenant cannot have the complete interest we would like him to have in the soil he works and the buildings he uses, i Ownership alone gives the real inter est that makes for continued fertility of his land and for upkeep and Im provement of farm house and farm , buildings. j It is the same, only with a differ- j ent twist, in the cities. We have not greatly agitated ourselves about them, however, because we have care lessly felt that tenantry was the nat ural thing In the cities. But if it is the natural thing, it shouldn't be. The j man w ith a five-room house and a lot j 40x125 is a good deal different sort of a citizen of this republic to the man who rents. Ownership counts. Think, ye home owners, of the situ ation in New York City, of the 6,100, 000 residents, only 300,000 own their homes, or less than 5 per cent. That 5 per cent is interested in good, or derly, patriotic government for ob vious easons. How many of the other 95 per cent care about those things? The Gasoline Situation What is the cause of the gasoline shortage? The Pendleton Tribune asks the same question that has been on the lips of many persons for sev eral iweeks. Is it real, or is it arti ficial? Is the whole famine In the gasoline world created by profiteers? Many are coming to believe that the outcome must be government ownership, control and operation of the oil wells, pipe lines and distribu ting agencies. Continuing, says the Tribune, until si me new source of power has been discovered, the public interest in pet roleum is all important. Its products are essential to light, heat and power. In r. thousand avenues the call is loud for the divers resultants of crude oil. A thing in which so large a portion of the people are interested directly ought to be beyond the power of prl ate interests to control. The Price Slump Not breakers just the signal of danger ahead! Sounds and signs that call for careful steering, a close following of charted seas. The tumble of prices caused by the nation-wide unloading of stocks, suc ceeding credit restrictions enforced by the banks, has caused a wholesale misgiving as to what the future will bring. But the soundest of financial horoscopists see nothing particularly alarming in this run to cover. They do, however, read into the event the vital need of value readjustments naw relations of price to quality. And it Is just about time that a change should be effected. The un broken upward movement in the prices of everything has been the cause of an unbridled extravagance that never would have found its peg. It simply had to be treated by the most drastic of measures credit distension. As in all business Involvements, ad-1 vertising will prove itself in the pre sent juncture as a powerrul stabil izing and corrective torce. The pub lic has found that the last article to go upward in price is the advertised brand. This is due to the fact that that manufacturers who advertise feel that they must protect their es tablished confidence Iwith the public. The anonymous brand is without Identity or position. In raising prices on them to meet market trends their makers are not in the same relative position with the public. The adver tised brand must always carry double ! burden, quality and good will. 1 In time of sudden price depress sion the advertised brand always rides supreme. It is the one the pub lic knows by name and demands by i name. The other is a substitute and When the market switches from "sell-1 er" to "buyer" it Is the advertised brand that holds the equilibrium. In the present upset the advertised j goods will command the right of way that leads directly to stability and protection. Western Advertising.
