Politicians in the great cities will watch this result closely, for they have come to know that elections are decided not only by the cave dwellers of the metropolis but in the homes and (arms on the coutryside where the great majority of the American people live and have their beinp, re flecting Amercian thought, unmoved by sinister influences, and uninflu enced by dramatic and spurious pa triotic appeal. This test vot will be published by all kinds and conditions of newspa pers. Readers of these 1,700 newspa pers will cast the ballots and the count will be read by Republicans Democrats and Progressives alike. Unless all precedent is meaningless. the results are likely to cause con siderable astonishment in several sections of the country where the three candidates for the Presidency re supposed to have a one hundred per cent strangle hold on public fa vor. Not in years, if ever, has there been a political situation so com plicated as that which exists this year. The most astute of political students are perplexed to a point where even the strong partisans amongst them freely admit they do not know what will happen in No vember. Partisan nwspapers natur ally publish news agreeable to their cause, as there is a sufficient amount of this kind of news which is quite truthful to satisfy the needs of any newspaper, whether it favor Cool idge, Davis or La Follette. The se cret test ballot of the millions liv ing in the small towns, however, is likely to give much mora of an indi cation of the way the wind is blow ing. s-s-s ABOUT ONE ANGEL OF THE LA FOLLETTE CAMPAIGN". ITHEN Barton K. Wheeler, after ' predicting the election of John W. Davis as President in an inter view published in the Washington Times, immediately following the Madison Square Garden convention, suddenly decided to accept the vice presidential nomination with La Fol lette, it was stated on his behalf that his decision came as the result of pressure from Frank A. Vanderlip. financier and chief of the huge spy agency which acted as an adjunct of the Walsh and Wheeler committees in the campaign to "get something onH the P.epubiican national adminis tration last spring. Mr. Vanderiip is evidently one of the main props and pillars, financial ly, at least of the La Follette cam paign. It is therefore interesting to note what Senator La Follette', nnh- lication. La Folette's Magazine, said j of this same Frank A. Vanderlip dur ing the World war. In La Follette 's Magazine for April, 1?. appears the following: "Hon. William Denman, formerly chairman of the shipping board, in testimony before the Senate Commit tee on Commerce, tore aside the veil and showed that the oniy difference between him and General Goehtals arose out of the hogjrishnens of the Vanderlip group, who desired to make great and unconscionable profits out of the government. General Goe th ai", who was at the head of the Em ergency Fleet corporation, was will ing that the Vanderlip group should have $12,000,000 of profit for super vising $125,000,000 worth of work. The testimony shows that the Hog island promoters first demanded $20, 000.000, later they were willing to ac cept $12,000,000 and finally they have bten hammered down to $10,000,000, wnich is pretty steep compensation for two year active service of a half a down 'know how' men.

Senator I -a Fo''ette paid bis retpecta , to Mr. Vander'ip. hi- present politi ' eal ''buddy,' rernible for La Fol ic tte's running irate being on the ticket, la FoVif tte describes bis nrhent backer, Vanderlip, in that edi torial a "a plain American war hog. wallowing in ar profits at the ex pense of the overburdened taxpayers of the country." In this editorial m Follette quotes the New York Am erican a? charging that the Vander lip group, known aa the American Internationa! Corporation, made a contract with the government where by the government was to advance the money to build the Hog Island r'ant and give the Vanderlip corpor at'on a profit of six million dollars, and that the Vanderlip group then sub.et t contract to a construction company ?nd pocketed the six mill ions without using a dollar of (heir own r oi.ey, their time or their credit. Ai'ornfy General Daugherty earn ed the inmity of powerful war profit eers of the Vanderlip type by insti tuting prosecutions in flagrant cases where there seemed to be a possibil ity of getting back some of the mon ey unfairly taken from the federal treasury. Whereupon Mr. Vanderlip apsailed the memory of the late Pres ident Harding and proceeded to fin ance a spy bureau for the manufac ture of the type of "evidence" pro duced before the Wheeler committee, and to support certain expensive pub licity activities in Washington and elsewhere in behalf of Wheeler and his associates. The methods used in manufacturing the George Remus "testimony" as revealed by him in a recent confession that he perjured himself before the Wheeler commit tee as a star witness against Attorney General Daugherty, were typical of others used during that inqusition. And now La Follette and Wheeler are in bed, politcially, with the man La Follette's Magaxine accused dur ing the war of unconscionable profit eering. Vanderlip is responsible for the presence of Wheeler on the La Follette ticket. Why is Mr. Vanderlip backing the La Follette-Wheeler tick et? Why was his pressure responsi ble for the make-up of the ticket? We know that Mr. Vanderlip's past performances in connection with the government were through the col umns of La Follette's Magazine. What are Mr. Vanderlip's expectations in case his investment in Senate com mittee testimony and in the La Follette-Wheeler campaign turn out well? Without explaining how the magic trick is done. Senator La Follette, during the present campaign, has charged that the predatory interests elect our Presidents and Congress and dictated the appointment of judges to the federal bench. Can the Vanderlip system, by any chance, be an example of the method used by predatory interests to procure the election of a President and Vice President? s-s-s W ILL OREGON WIN THE COLLIER TROPHY? SOME state will receive with par donable pride the handsome tro phy now beinj offered by Collier's, the National Weekly, to the state which records the largest propor tional increase in votes at the com ing presidential election. So that the world may not smile at our political apathy the trophy is not offered as a prize, but rather as a tangible recog nition of concentrated good citizen ship. Obviously, however, the token is offered to stir slumbering public conscience and stimulate voters to duty on election day. No public offering in recent years has had be hind it more patriotic or splendid purpose. Many platitudes have been written on the duty of voting. But the sub ject can not be dwelt upon too often. The very safety of American institu tions rests in the interest of the governed in the manner in which they wish to be governed. The vote is all important, but not less import ant is the necessity for an intelligent vote, a proper comprehension of the basic character of American free government. In the last twenty years we have been slipping rapidly from the thought and purpose of those who founded this nation. We seem to have lost sight of the fact that Am erica is a Republic, and that prior to the establishing of the Republic under the Constitution no country in the world was in such a pitiable con dition as was this, the land we love and in which we prosper. What state will have the honor of casting the most intelligent vote as well as showing the greatest increase in the ballots dropped into the box of freedom? There should be a tie. $-s-$ "BEARDED WOMEN TOMORROW NEWSPAPER propaganda, covering everything from battleships to baby carriage, finally has streched out its arms and taken in the bobbed hair American beauty. Mr. Charles Nestle, of New York, appear as spon sor for this latest assault on Amer ican intelligence. Mr. Nestle is Vice President of the Wholesale Beauty Trade Association Recently he appeared before an aud ience in Atlantic City and there boldly announced that we are on the way to evolve a race of bearded wo men. Think of that with Barnum no longer on the scene to bid for ser vice. "Bobbed hair today, bearded women tomorrow," warned the beauty trade man while his feminine listeners shivered at the thought of the future. Fortunately for the (.uppers and flap perettes. Mr. Nes tie's tomorrow is not to appear until a couple of gen erations have passed. We are told baldness will be aa common among women as among men. All of this, because Mr. Nestle as sures us, that every human being is a chemical laboratory that is con stantly manufacturing hair, and if the hair is not permitted to grow on the head then it will grow on the face and on the body. Savage men, we are told, who never cut their hair have scant beards. This may be sound reasoning, but it would appear that while Mr. Nestle is trying to stimulate trade in one branch of his profusion another must suffer. If the girls are to avoid growing horns then it will be abso lutely necessary for them to forget r.-anicures. Then what will become of trade in finger powders, polishes. buffers, and the rest of the para phernalia? S-S-S LA FOLLETTE AND SOCIALISM. A RECENT writer in the Saturday Evening Post points out that Karl Marx, who wrote the turgid and wordy economic fallacies on which Socialism is based, never worked a day in his life. He could not make use of hands or brain to give him a living, and yet he presumed to buPd i an ideal economic machine that woald enable everybody to get a just share of food, clothing, shelter and luxur ies necessary to maintain life and happiness. Never has one of his the ories proved practical when put to the test. Bob La Follette believes in the the ories of Marx. All followers of Marx in the United Stafces who support the Socialist ticket, will vote for La Fol Utte. He, too, has no capacity as a business builder of any sort, and yet like his slothful teacher, he presumes to tell the people of this country that he will be able to so change the bus iness life of the nation as to bless everybody. In the next breath he mentions lower freight rates which would reduce the revenue of the railroads, and higher wages for rail road employes, which would increase railroad expenses. Nobody but an economic idiot, or a knave, would be guilty of enthusiastically advocating plans of bankruptcy and ruin as blessings to a people already harass ed seriously, and seeking a way out by a sound and sensible route. All of which leads up to the ques tion that ought to be put up to every man seeking public office: What do you know about business that you should set yourself up as one capable of enacting laws to re form and better business? Oregon Voter. s-s-s New Bulletin Available. (Morrow County Extension Service News) Oregon Agricultural College Exper iment Station Bulletin 204 is now available and copies can be obtained at the County Agent's office. This bulletin is entitled "Spring Crops for Eastern Oregon," by D. E. Stephens, Robert Withycombe and Obil Shat tuck, superintendents of the Experi ment Stations at Moro, Union, and Bums respectively. This bulletin contains the results obtained in spring crops at these stations. It also has a number of maps showing the distribution of acreage of Sprn;; and Fail crops throughout the Stile of Oregon and tables showing the total production, yield per acre and the av erage value per acre of crops in the various counties of the State. PREDATORY AND RODENT PETI TIONS BEING FILED. Petitions to the County Court to place a local initiative measure an the November ballot providing for a tt-mJlI tax levy in 1925 are being filed with the County Court this week. This levy carried two years ago and provided money that has been used to buy poison for rodents and for the Morrow county share of the preda tory animal work the past two years. To carry on the predatory animal and rodent work satisfactorily in the next two years, it will be necessary to se cure a majority vote on this question at the election in November.

What Is "Well Born?" The Tactful Prince. Labor Must Save Itself, Men and women, young or old, with ambition left, should remember that a new year has begun. The new year of SUCCESS does not begin on Janu ary 1, in the middle of Winter. It begins now, with Summer ended, va cations over, schools open, everything under way. He who begins carrying out his good resolutions and working hard now, instead of waiting until next January 1, will have a start of four months on the others, and that's a good start. Flying from Greeland to Labrador, the American fliers got back to the American mainland in five months and fourteen days after their start around the world. Children of the future will be amazed at this slow trip around the world. A feature of public school education in future ages will be a flying trip around the world during Summer vacation. The child of twelve will know the principal mountain ranges, rivers and capitals of the world by having actually seen them. Statistics show that the month of marriage is changing from June to August, and that's a good thing, June is the month from the romantic point of view, August from the practical point of view. The first baby of an August wed ding comes along in the Spring with the flowers of May and can be put outdoors at once to get fresh air. In addition, the mother can nurse the baby all through the hot months of the first Summer, when the right artificial food is hardest to find. Scientists, students of Eugenics, welfare workers and others, includ ing the brilliant author of the "New Decalogue of Science" are much wor ried about human breeding, and in the future of the race. "The well born refuse to breed, and the ill born insist on breeding too much," say these anxious worriers. It all depends on what you call well born. The fortunate child is born of a mother that wants chil dren and the ill born comes from a mother that does NOT want children. Time, evolution, gradual lifting up of the frontal angle and public schools will take care of the human race, if the babies get the right start. The right start begins in a mother's affection for the father of her child. Without that, pity the child. With that, everything else can be straight ened out. What heat is in the makjng of steel, affection is in the creation of children. Farmers should be interested to know that the Argentine Republic spends $5,000,000 for 39,000 tons of galvanized iron sheets to keep back devouring locusts. The sheets will be given to the farmers free and they will be compelled to put them up, digging a ditch where the lo custs will accumulate and be de stroyed. The United States Steel Products Company supplies the steel. Here we'd call free steel for farmers' so cialism. The young Prince of Wales might have made a successful career on his own hook. He has tact, the key stone in the arch of success. Reporters wired from the ship that he had danced with a young St. Louis girl whom he had never met. When the news was sent back to the ship by wireless, the Prince requested an introduction to the young woman and danced with her twice. That reminds you of Abraham Lin coin's tactful treatment of a reporter who had written about Lincoln's life and the books he had read, few en ough in number. Lincoln told him that one of the books he had never read, but, to make everything all right, he would read it, and he did, Labor is one cog in the machine of modem industry, the most important cog, although the machine doe an t admit it. Labor's destiny depends on labor, not benevolent speeches in po litical campaigns. When men know more they will have more. When they stick together as capitalists stick together, free of religious and race hatreds and prejudices, they will have power. Prosperity and power they must get for themselves; they will not be handed to them. PIANO FOR SALE NEAR HEPP NER Beautiful late model piano, perfect condition.
