Because instinct is more fundamental than reason it reaches nearer to the roott of thinrs. Instinct is deeper than reon. It i the first to respond. Reason is the tnillinc process of the mind. Instinct is the flash of insight. It is the protective inheriunce of apes gone before. Nothing is more marvelous than the unvoiced intellect of animals, in stinct directs them into paths of safe ty and protects them from danger as if guided by a higher power. In the heart of metropolitan Boston flanked by the palaces of the city's ultra rich, is a great reservoir, known as the Charles River Basin. Along it for miles runs a concrete promenade, a favorite strolling thoroughfare for thousands. The basin is rigidTy policed. Save for rowing crews and light pleasure craft, it is immune from desecration by man. Every year, for weeks before freei ing weather comes, the surface of the basin is black with thousands of wild ducks, who float serenely from its head to its foot, diving every foot of the way to nibble the sweet grasses which line the bottom or to feed on the abundant shell fish. In well-ordered columns they move like armies down, down; then swiftly rise, circle in great curves to the upper reaches of the reservoir, then down again, repeating as often as the feeding is replenished. These wild fowls, ordinarily so wary, seem to know that here they are safe. At times they float so near the embankment rail as to be almost within human reach, but no gunshots fill them with namelesa terror; no missile strikes them with sudden death. How do they know the watery zones of safety amidst the noise and ciamor of busy men? Whence comes this instinct which seldom fails? It ia the greatest won der of nature, and the kindest pro vision of the world. s-s-s THE CALLING OF COOLIDGE. By JOHN H. PERRY HARDING has gone. Coolidge has come. Harding's humanity to man has made countless thousands mourn bis passing. No kindlier man ever occupied the White House. No gentler soul ever left his mate The eyes of the Nation now turn to Coolidge. The people wish him well. They pray his stewardship may make for peace, happiness and poaperity. They will judge him by his acts. What sort of a man is he? Will he be nominated by his party next spring? Cooiidge is cool, calm, calculating. He is honest. He is stern. He is in tensely ambitious. A college gradu ate of fair ability, through a period of law with a small amount of prac tice and smalt fees. He turned to politics and public office. He has held office most of his years since matur ity. Bom a poor boy on ft farm, he is a typical Yankee. How will America accept him? He is an admirable listener. His greatest gift is silence. What a part it has played in the history of American politics. Charles Hughes would have been elected President had be not made a speaking tour and "talked himself out" of the election. Wood row Wilson, during a period of profound silence, was adjudged by millions of all nations as a superman and then he began to talk and an "idol of the Universe" was shattered. Warren Harding, politically wise, knew that if he stayed close by his own "front porch," and spoke little, that he would defeat Coz overwhelm ingly, and he did. Calvin Coolidge since his election to the Vice Presidency has only strayed far from his confines one time. Out to a vast agricultural fair in Minnesota. After reading about ten minutes of his speech the crowd de cided they didn't want to hear speeches, and rudely voiced their de- 1 ui out was t tun vnco w doted on heels when wi fig pe red oar speed bat were changed ra fer wheel. . . .

Tl J PRESIDENT'S TRIP DESCRIBED. Omaha. Aug. 20. President Hard ing's last western tour from Denver to Salt Lake, Butte. Spokane. Meach am and Portland, is described in word and picture in the current Vn ion Pacilic Mttgaxine distributed to day. The broad human sympathies of the President and Mrs. Harding are revealed in intimate touches and pleasing sidelights. In Cedar City. Utah, the President and Mrs. Hard ing are seen with an Indian papoose. Pictures show the President in west ern riding regalia in Zion National Park and in characteristic poses at various pointa on his journey. To everyone he appeared, not so much as Pesident of a great republic, but as a man, lovable, kindly, courteous, un pretentious, unspoiled by sitting in high places. mands to trot out the poniea." Doubtless Coolidge profited politic ally by that experience. The only thing that will outweigh silence for President Coolidge wiU be actual "delivery of the goods" as re quired by a more and more exacting public. And here's a few of the things about which they will want "to be satisfied:" W hat are yon going to do to stop the threatened coal strike and another winter of freezing families? What are yon going to do to help the fanner who has to pay profiteering prices for what he bays, and sella his products for less than the cost of production? Are yon going to advocate Am erica's entry into a League of Na tions or a World Court? Upon his action on these and doz ens of other public questions wilt de pend the Republican nomination of Calvin Coolidge next spring, or at least, his election or defeat in the fall of 1924. The sixteen millions of good Amer ican readers who see and scan this article in this and several thousand sister papers blanketing every state in the Union will watch and wait and judge and vote according to the die tates of their consciences and may haps the wishes of their wives. s-s-s THE PENITENTIARY. " 1.1 TAR DEN SMITH of the Oregon State penitentiary is going to be in need of a good advertising man be fore long if there isn't a change made in the methods of handling his insti tution. Between pardons, paroles and escapes his outgoing guests are going to outnumber the incoming ones so greatly that the advantages of Oregon as a hunting ground for criminals will have to be broadcasted to tha world if the registration is to be kept up. Probably the letter from the pris oners to Governor Pierce, telling his honor just how to handle the prison if the number of escapes is to be kept down, is one of the most remarkable documents ever issued, for sheer gall. The men behind the bars, convicted criminals all, like their warden, and they want no change. They like their paroles, and the parole board must function in accordance with their ideas, if trouble is to be avoided. And it looks as though they are going to get away with it, for a whole flock of them have been turned loose, and thirty-eight have walked off without bidding their guards goodbye. The convics hold that paroles and pardons are not a matter than can be left to the discretion of the board of parole, but a legal right extended to them. They have given notice that they are to be paroled when they think they are entitled to it, or they will escape. And the events of the past few months lead the public to believe that they can make good on their threat. Few people of the present believe that prisons are maintained entirely for the purpose of punishment, and more consideration is shown the un fortunates behind the bars than ever before. Public sentiment desires that an attempt be made to reform the victims of the law, and in cases of others than habitual criminals, pun ishment be made as light ai possible. I But mismanagement such as is being shown at Salem at the present time is going to bring the people of the state to a realization of the fact that criminals are confined for other reas ons than their own reform that the public ia entitled to protection from this class, and that imprisonment is supposed to mean just that, and not the upkeep of a winter resort. The Dalles Optimist. s-s-s ONLY one per cent of 80,000 samples of liquor seized during the last of the year was genuine, according to the report of the prohibition commie- HARVESTERS LAID OFF MONDAY. A heavy rain hitting this neck 'o the woods on Sunday evening result ed in the harvest crews being laid off on Monday. The rain was quite heavy about Heppner and lasted pretty well into the night, making it necessary to suspend harvesting during the en tire day. We are informed that it did not rain so heavy at Lexington and lone and the crews lost but a half day in those localities. sioner at Washington. He stated in the report that the adulteration of bootleg liquor was leading to serious physical consequences. Drinking of moonshine may not cause death di rectly, but its toxins are cumulative and result in death if indulged in for a protracted period. s-s-s WHAT IS OUR HIGHW AY DEPART MENT FOR? TT SEEMS that the highway commis- 1 sion is still "investigating1 th proposition of our south road. What we want is some action and the people of the south as far away as Burns and Lakeview are in the same frame of mind. People are growing tired of ne glect of a regional road of such real importance. On the same day that the highway department recently refused to pro vide any aid for our south road for "lack of funds" the commission voted a $48,000 contract to tear up and re build two miles of new pavement near La Grande. It is interesting to note that prominent La Grande people have expressed surprise at their contract. They did not know their road needed rebuilding. Neither did others who have been over it. The La Grande Ob server has had some interesting ob-1 servations on the subject. Why tear up and rebuild paved , roads that are so good that the people adjoining them are not asking for work while a highway like the Pen-d!eton-John Day road is overlooked? Why neglect roads of great economic importance in order to repave roads already paved? Is our highway department an agen cy for the benefit of the people for the development of the state or an in strument through which paving con tractors and other contractors may secure such contracts as they like re gardless of the public weal? Pendle ton East Oregonian. One might be led to infer, from reading the Pendleton paper, that the Oregon Highway Department was in existense for the sole purpose of building roads that lead direct to that city, for other roads in other parts of the Btate are of just as much im portance as this so-called north and south road to connect Pendleton up with the John Day highway. There are yet many uncompleted portions of highways that are calling for help. These should be finished. For in stance, we have in mind the comple tion of that portion of the Oregon Washington highway lying in Mor row county; this might be worth something to Pendleton, and it is surely worth a great deal to the state in the consummation of its plan for trunk highways. S-S-S OREGON ROADS BRING PRAISE. UNITED STATES government offi cials connected with the depart ment which extends federal aid to road building in various states have just completed a tour of Oregon's highways and express their unquali fied satisfaction at the character of roads built in the state. One hears the same sentiment from eastern tourists who have covered the roads between the Atlantic and the Pacific and from Canada to Mexico, Not only are the grades, curves, fences and bridges unusually well built but the asphaltic concrete pave ment which predominates is in ex cellent condition where it has been used and tested under actual road traffic for five years or longer. It is probable that Oregon taxpay ers have had a maximum of value for their dollars spent on every mile of road in the state and commendation of their road system by people from other sections of the country is moat gratifying, Manufacturer. S-S-S Louis Van Winkle and family of Lexington passed through Heppner Tuesday morning on their way to the mountains for a short vacation. Jack Hynd, mayor of Cecil, was do ing business in this city on Tuesday. His second crop of alfalfa is now all in the stack in good shape, and the third crop is on the way.
