Fomfn ArvairiMnc Repmmtarjve THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION We are in receipt this week of Vol. 1, No. 1 of Oils and Industrials, a new monthly publication launched the first of the year by the Press Pub lishing Company of Fort Worth, Tex. This new magazine is to be a month ly digest of activities in oil and other great industries of the Southwest, and is published in the heart of the mid-continent oil fields. Its editor is Garfield Crawford, formerly of this city, and brother of the editor of The Ga:etie-Timcs, and W. F. Hecht is business manager. These men are also connected with the S Miami Oil Journal, a weekly printed in the in terests of the oil industry", and the two publications now being put out by the Press Publishing Company will thoroughly cover the oil activ ities, not only of Texas but of the en tire country. We also note that the New York representative of Oils and Industrials is another boy from this town, Heppner Blackman. In putting out the initial number, its editor states: "Oils and Industrials has arrived It is not the best nor the biggest pub lication of its kind to come from a press, but we have a pride in it. We believe that this pride is more or less justified for the good reason that we have spent much money and a lot of hard work and conscientious effort in producing this first issue. The mag azine is just starting on its way. It is not what we want it to be, nor will it arrive at the goal of success until its makers have given it tremendous labor and sacrifice. This first issue contains 64 pages, finely illustrated and well printed. Its promoters should be proud of it and if subsequent numbers measure up anywhere to the standard set, the magazine will surely prove to be a valuable addition to the industrial publications of the country, and successful financial venture to its publishers. The modest price of $2 per year is asked for the new publi cation and if there is anyone in this part of the country that is at all in terested in the oil development of the great Southwest, as well as its other industries their money will be well invested in this magazine. overwhelmingly in favor of a state total of more than 400.000 in the tax for the fair let them submit their calendar year of 1920.

Canyon City Blue Mountain Eagle. Whisky "Before and After." The minority has a perfect right in this democracy to try to turn a ma jority against prohibition, but lets have no misunderstanding about the chief argument of the wets in their fight to overthrow the Eighteenth Amendment, to-wit: "That bootleg whiskey is so bad that it is better for this nation to go back to pre-prohibition whiskey." The pot calling the kettle black. The whiskey made by the profiteer ing "distillers" during the last quar ter of a century of wetness was fully as villianous as the stuff they sell to day. The only difference is that the public does not know what was hap pening from about 1S90 to 1919. Just as many men fell, poisoned, on the streets and in police stations but nobody paid any attention to it in the cities. They were just "drunk." Listen to what the official United States government census for 1900 said (Twelfth Census): "MOST (note that most) of the distilled liquors consumed as a BEVERAGE by the American peo ple pass through rectifying houses. The different classes of rectified spirits ranee from the CHEAPEST CONCOCTIONS of natural spirits and DRL'GS to the simple blending of young and old whiskey." Look Out For More Propa ganda. No doubt our readers have heard of a recent hullabaloo in New York against our modern American histor ies as written by some very able American college professors. Don't worry over it folks. It's all propaganda. The earmarks of prop aganda are all over it. New York is the home of propa ganda; you may be sure that when a bunch of fellows anywhere in the United States get ready to spring some doctrine or scheme on us simple-folk, they start it in New York with huge clouds of smoke by day and lots of fireworks in some big hall bv night. Peocle of common sense who think, know that the farther time moves away from some historical event, the more truthful must the histories of that event become. That is because prejudices die with the generations that were intimately concerned with the event. It is now about 140 years since the American revolution was fought and it is pret- tv safe to say that histories written hv American scholars in the last Quarter of a century are more truth ful than those that went before and which propagandists would now like to foist upon us again. It is also enough to say that the Daughters of the Revolution approve the histories attacked. That was 2t vears surn MOST of but he knocked my wind out of me & the liquors were that way then.

No wonder drunkenness and booze deaths increased mightily every year. No wonder prohibition came. And all for the benefit of thieving, murderous profiteers who cleaned up untold millions every year and who posed as respectable citizens. The doggery saloon keeper was paragon of virtue beside them. But, anyway, let nobody tell you that bootleg whisky of today is any worse than the poisonous chemicals men drank for 10 years before the 1 8th amendment. deparchure.

For the most part Portland papers have remained discreetly silent since ihe legislature adjourned. The Port land Telegram, however, earned an editorial Wednesday from which the following is taken: "A well organized effort was evi dently made to kill the exposition in the state house without giving the electors of the state opportunity to express their minds on a clear cut question of an exposition, yes or no The election has been tied to gasoline question that may or may not please the majority of the voters who favor an exposition. There is no strong reason to believe that the people of the state at large are not overwhelmingly in favor of financ- ine the exposition by a direct prop crty tax, for at the most it will be but a trifling tax." The legislature refused to take the responsibility of submitting to the people a $3,000,000 tax measure for the Portland fair. The legislators properly held that if the fair promo ters wish to put the matter up to the people they should use the initiative, as is their crivileee. The matter can then be passed upon at the reg ular state election. tion of families of the legalized free love, or the starvation of millions, all of which go naturally and freely with Communism, the people of de mocracies gladly consent to govern ment. If you call that idolatry, Ber nard, make the most of it ! Will Irish Bonds be Offered? Final ratification of the covenant between Ireland and Great Britain will probably be followed promptly by an offer in the United States of bonds of the Irish Free State. As yet there has been no discussion of the amount or terms of the loan, states Robert E. Smith, President of Lumberman's Trust Co. Bank, Port land. With an area of 32,586 square miles (not including ulster), or slightly more than one-third that of the state of Oregon, Ireland had according to the 1911 census, 4,393,- 000 popuation, ranking fifth in size and third in white population among the British self-governing dominions. Alone among these many divisions, Ireland has shown a steady decline in population, dropping from 8,175,- 000 in 1841. During the 60 years from 1851 to 1911, more than 4,190,-" 000 emigrated to other countries. Ireland possesses 3403 miles of rail way and 837 miles of navigable wa terways. Agriculture is the domin ant industry, and potatoes are of course, the chief crop. The pro duction in 1918 amounted to 3.836, 000 tons. Of flax, Ireland produces less than one-fifth of the require ments of the Irish linen industry, the balance of the raw material coming largely from Russia. Other import ant crops are grain, hay and veget ables for livestock. Since 1916 Ire-1 land has enjoyed a substantial favor able trade balance. John Barleycorn is dead, but there are some in this town who act as if they didn't even know he was sick. Homey Philosophy for 1922. "The art of government," says communist Bernard Shaw, who has made a fat fortune by writing brutal Booth Must Not Resign. Rumors that ill health and over work have caused Robert A. Booth to consider resigning from the state highway commission have reached Portland from his home cty. The Eugene reports aver that Senator Booth thinks he should allow some younger man to be appointed to the commission. The Telegram joins with tens of thousands of Oregon citizens in hop ing that Mr. Booth will not quit the commission that he has honored so long and on which he has unselfishly done such a great work for the state. No other man in Oregon knows the state's highway needs as does the chairman of the commission. He has gone over every lane and path in Oregon that may some day become a real road. He has jour neyed over our main highways time after time, spending a great deal of his own money and many days in studying first hand the needs of each community and the best routes for main roads. The distance from the Jones farm to Sheepskin hollow by the low road and the miles by the hill line are as well known to him as to the rangers who have herded over the territory for a decade. Chairman Booth knows because he has cone over the roads. He walks, rides horseback or takes an automo bile over every proposed route. He studies maps, reads engineers' plans and then goes out to see for himself. In this way, much valuable time is saved at every meeting of the state highway commission. There is no lost motion showing hills and dales on the county map. The visiting dele gations, when they address Chairman Booth, can talk to the point he knows the road, the crossings and the interior difficulties that confront builders and taxpayers. A high-minded, intelligent and practical man in public service is a gem of great price and greatly to be prized by the state. Mr. Booth is such a man. Mr. Booth's services must not be lost to the commission and the state. Portland Telegram. 1922 -ECONOMY -1922 Economize by having your old dress, suit . coat, blouse and gloves Cleaned and Repaired.
