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.

Rural Population Still Mor
Than Half.
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.
