A Little More Common Sense,
Please!
There Is enough profiteering go
ing on in this country without the
government promoting more of it.
In this connection we note a large.
Juicy advertisement by the United
States Government in the New York
Times mind you, IN NEW YORK
CITY. In this advertisement. Uncle
Sam offers for sale forty thousand
sets of harness left over from the
war.
What will happen? Soma city
broker or middleman will buy up the
whole lot tor a cheap price and take
them out to the country, where they
still buy harness and where he will
'profiteer the life out of the farmer.
Ye gods! To be a government
official. Is it unnecessary to have com
mon sense at all?
To the man of ordinary' intelli
gence, the sensible thing would have
been for the government to have in
sertd in about 50 country newspa
pers a little more total expense than
the New York city newspaper charg
ed for it. . The large users of har
ness the farmers would have seen
the government proposal and would
nave bought the entire 40,000 sets
in jig time at REASONABLE prices.
In our opinion the government
would come out of such a deal with
more money than it would receive
from the middleman. We know
mighty well that the farmer woula
get his harness much cheaper than
the city profiteer will sell it to him.
Labor is useless without manage
ment. Capital is useless without
management. Management must pay
market rates of wages both to labor
and capital to obtain their services.
The wages of capital are in propor
tion to risk. The wages of labor are
in proportion to efficiency. If man
agement tails, labor loses its job and
part of its market, capital loses its
wages and part or all of itself, and
management loses its chance for pro
fit. If management succeeds, it
takes its profit part of which it
may re-invest as its own capital, thus
enlarging its business and addirg to
the market for labor. Recognition
of Ihtse elemental facts of business
would add much to an understanding
of the relations between labor and
capital. Oregon Voter.
Republican Reductions
Amazed at the great reductions
effected by the republican congress
below administration estimates for
appropriations, the democratic mi
nority is attempting to belittle sav
ings in government expenses amount
ing to 12,414,115,144.13 by calling
attention to the sum total of appro
priations and obligations of the gov
ernment at present, says Representa
tive Frank W. Mondell, of Wyoming,
republican floor leader. Although
tiie total expenditures for the fiscal
year 1920 amounted to approximate
ly $6,500,000,000, exclusive of trans
actions affecting the principal of tha
public debt, Mr. Mondell explains,
the republican congress had no con
troll over these vast expenditures by
the administration and participated
In appropriating for them only to tn.
extent of $2,838,283,432.76. This
amount was authorized, in the eight
fiscal appropriation bills enacted by
the republican congress in special
session a year ago. In authorizing
these appropriations. Mr. Mondell
shows that the republican congress
rndKced the estimates of the admin
istration $939,692,641.97. "Of the
sum total of expenditures," continues
Mr. Mondell, "more than three and
one half billions were swallowed up
in the cost of the government oper
ation of the rairoads, in settling war
contracts, and in the payment of
$450,000,000 in loans to the allies
which, It is presumed, were contract
ed for before the signing of the armistice."

ed at the continual upward trend in
the price of printing. We might offer
these gentlemen a number of valid
reasons for higher printing costs in

worthy of as much remuneration as
is expected by the proprietor of a

successful newspaper man must have
sufficient literary ability to correct
the copy of men who wish commer

ligent in its construction. He must
work more hours than any other man
in business in the village and must
pay his employees higher wages than
any other commercial enterprise In

the reasons why it costs more to have
printing done in these days of ad
vanced costs of everything than It
did when shoes were selling for $3.

fact that we dare write and publish
these truths is proof positive that in

knowledge of actual value which
makes for commercial and intellec

Every tree-born American citizen
can take genuine pride In the selec
tion of Warren G. Harding, United
States Senator from Ohio, as the pre.
teaching, at house and sign painting
and at a printer's case, to earn the
money to educate himself. .
When he came out of college he
went to a little, unknown college in
Ohio, which is no longer in existence
he taught school and worked as
a printer until he took over the Btock
of liabilities ot a little local sheet
which had more obligations than type
fonts. ;
Intensely practical and exceeding
ly ambitious, young Harding worked
night and day to build up that paper,
and today he has in the Marion Daily
Star as fine a small town dally as
is published in the country ,
Harding is self-made. He has
grown from a farmer lad into a man
whose wise judgment and counsel
have been courted by the biggest men
in his party. ,
As an example of the old saying
that every American cradle is the po
tential birthplace of a president,
Harding stands pre-eminent.
Through all his steady climb Hard
ing has never lost sight of his early
struggles, He has always felt the
deepest sympathy and understanding
in the efforts of the working, classes
to better themselves. He has the
closest personal sympathy and under
standing with the farmer element be
cause he has been a farmer. Since
he has grown to power and eminence,
he has been in contact with the class
es that administer the country's in
dustries, and he has learned their
problems and their difficulties. So he
is equipped mentally to weigh and
balance in the scales bt his cool judg
ment the rights and wrongs ot each.
In his public life Harding has ever
been governed inall his decisions and
votes by his cool judgment and abil
ity to put himself in the other fell
ow's place. He has not forgotten his
experience as a laborer and farmer,
and his votes have reflected his sym
pathy and understanding of the
needs of the masses. He has never
cast a vote agahist the Interest of
the people; and he has fathered and
supported all of the important meas
ures aimed to better the conditions
of the laboring classes. Among the
legislative acts he has supported may
be mentioned the child labor law,
minimum wage law, the civil ser
vice retirement law,- the rehabilita
tion of industrial cripples law and
the woman's bureau of the Labor De
partment. He has voted for woman suffrage
and supported the cause in states
where ratification was doubtful, using
his eloquence and his influence for
the cause of suffrage.
Indeed every act of his political
career is marked by progressiveness
and far-sighted realization of the im
portance ot political developments.
Harding is a Republican of the
Lincoln and McKinley type. Like
these great figures of the past he be
lieves in the importance of co-operative
action In deciding the great Is
sues. He has consistently decried the
egoism of autocratic methods of gov
ernment. He has always said that
the great strength of the Republican
party lay In Its willingness to profit

by wise counsel, and he has declared
frequently that a president's cabinet
should enlist the biggest men ot the
party instead ot sawdust puppets to
bob their beads to presidential or
ders. Only by havlnt. men of such
calibre can government really suc
ceed, and when he Is elected to the
presidency and takes his seat In the
White House next March 4th, his cab
inet selections will show that his
practical knowledge ot men will en
able him to build up an organization
such as surrounded Lincoln, McKin
ley and Roosevelt, all Republicans
who believed in this great fundamen
tal policy. 1
Harding personlly is the embodi
ment of the finest American man
hood. He' is a good fighter, but
clean fighter. He Is a good friend,
but even friendship has never stood
In the way of his duty. He is an
able man as his every private and
public act proclaim.' He Is a good
man, religious and tolerant, a gentle,
kindly husband and a good neighbor.
In Ohio they loveTiim. They will
tell you that success has never gone
to Harding's head and that he is the
same genial, generous, keen wltted
companion that he was when he ws
just -the editor of the Marlon Daily
Star.-
His employes on the Marion Dally
Star will tell you that he is their
friend and fellow worker, as well aB
their boss, and that they take their
troubles, their joys and their worries
to Warren Harding with just the
same freedom today that they did
before the ' people ot Ohio selected
him for high honors.
Harding is an ardent patriot. His
love of country and his worship of
the flag is the outstanding thing in
his life. On the occasions when he
went abroad tor rest, recreation and
study of European government and

conditions, he always said on his re
turn, that every time be went abroad
he came back glad and proud ot the
fact that he is an American.
The next president of the United
States will have great responsibilities
and heavy tasks. He will have to
bring order out ot the chaos ot dis
order which an administration of in
efficiency and misrule has created.
Serious problems will have to be met
and answered. The man who under
takes this heroic task must be a man
who measures up big. He must be
an honest man, a fearless man. a
strong man.
When the Republicans in the Chi
cago convention eliminated all other
claimants tor the honor ot standard
bearer they picked the right man in
Warren Gameliel Harding ot Ohio.
He is the man who can lead the
country out ot the darkness into the
light. He is a man we caa pin our
hopes and our votes on with confi
dence that he will live up to the
great traditions Of the party ot Lin
coln and McKinley and Roosevelt.
Harding and Coolidge, for home
and country, is a slogan every good
citizen, whether Republican or Dem
ocrat, can support with joy, with con
