MORROW COI'XTY OFFICIAL PAPER
Harding and Coolidge
It is gratifying to kniiw that the
Republican delegates at Chicago had
the sense ;uid good judgment to name
as the party's candidates two pre
eminent Americans of such sterling
worth and high character as Warren
G. 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.
