When you are satisfied with your success, you've retrograded no man i at rest can do his best. Tomorrow the world will adopt higher standards new ideas will upset old ideals inten- i tion will ripen into inventionmachin ery will be improved system simpli fied waste eliminated. Men who have carried their problems to bed while you are resting upon your laurels will see a better way of doing whatjou have done; and some fine day you'll awake with failure for a pillow mate. You can't stop, because your rival won't quit a sure job is a poor job. While thirty million men are striving to better their lot, you can only be se cure in a position that no one wants to secure from you. This earth isn't the same two days running, the modern gait is hard and stern and swift and unrelenting.

You read, hut you do not heed. You h.ix e stopped earning and therefore ceased learning. You believe that you have achieved your utmost, but within a week a hundred strangers, whose names vou have never heard will begin to undermine our security. The methods responsible for your rise in time prove fatal stumbling blocks. Improvement is the twentieth een tury wrecker. Speed is now the watchword. The rest of us are racing after you. If you slow down, you'll be run down. It s the man behind who determines how far and how fast you must travel. He measures your destiny he sets your standards. If you want to stay ahead, use your head. What you have and what you have been guarantee nothing. The future has no memory and no mercy.

The census bureau's recent statement on the total population of the United States In 1920 contained the following statement: "Of the 1O5.6S3.10S persons enumer ated in the fourteenth census, prelim inary tabulations show that 54.S16.209. or 51.9 per cent, are living In incorpor ated places of 2500 Inhabitants or more, and 50.S66.S99, or 4S.t per cent. In rural territory. x v art ait aw at i in com sc. mm there is a constant stream of young pfop'e passing from the rural towns and farms to be lost amid the smoke and din and hauls'ups and heartaches of the big cities. Nevertheless, we are convinced that more than half of the population still lix e In "rural terri tory" not 48 1 per cent, but well over :-0 per cent What is rural territory? The census bureau assumes that towns of over 2, f00 inhabitants are not in rural terri tory, which is, of course, absurd. Prac tically every town up to 10.000 or even 15.000, Is as rural as the 2500. In near ly atl American towns up to 10.000 to 15.000, the residences come down Intoj the business section, fronting even on the central square, or park, or com-1 mons. This does not happen in real cities. In such towns you very fre quently find small farms within a stone's throw of the town hall. Why the census bureau calls such places outside of "rural territory" is a mys tery to ua. We are going to And out the truth of this matter. The Publishers Autocast er Service, in which this paper holds a franchise. Is at present investigating at Washington into the correct propor tion of the rural population and we will print the results aa soon as they are' obtained. The mistake Alex Cornet t made wanj In placing "Independent" after his 1 name on the city ballot. "Republican" would have been a better drawing card ! for votes. " ! There will be a grand rush on the part of our independent t? newspa pers to fall In line with the change of administration now. Some them, how ever like the East Oregonian of Pen dleton and the Portland Journal will certainly have to do a lot of house cleaning and fumigating to get rid of the stench and tilth that hangs to them, accumulated from the final week of the campaign. And Geo. E. has now joined the "also-rans." He has lots of company among the brethren this year. The Portland Journal thinks Hard ing will beat Cox more than a million votes in the state of New York. He even walloped Tammany In his own precinct. Sure was some land slide.
