Now that Mr. Anderson, former
superintendent of the anti-saloon
league in New York, has to go to
prison, the warden ought to be
kind enouRh to place him in a
"dry" cell.
Governor I'ierce went into office
by deception, by giving false
promises to the people and he is
following the same course in his
effort to hold his prestige. But
the ordinary voter is "getting on
to his curves." as the ball fan
would say, and are about ready
to "bat him out of the box."
Do not crow immoderately when
your political opponent is tarred
with the stick of corruption, be
cause there is a bare possibility
that your friend may have been
reached by the same smudge and
then your shout of glee will be
turned to a wail. Graft and ava
rice are not exclusive to any po
litical party. Let our united de
sire and demand be that dishones
ty shall be unsparingly exposed
and punished in whomsoever it
may be found. By this method
only can the present "system"
be broken up.
Governor I'ierce has decided to
call the state emergency board
together and ask for a deficiency
appropriation to replace the state
prison industries which were rie
atroyel by fire last July. The
statu authorities should carry full
insurance on every industrial
plant which is operated by con
vict labor. If it is known inside
that the state is not going to lose
by a fire, there will not be so
many "accidential" burnings.
The official who divs not know
the psychology of those (ires is a
mighty poor criminologist.
Ward Irvine is retiring this
week from the position of private
secretary to Governor i'ierce. It
has been common knowledge fur
many months that Irvine was not
in harmony with the Governor in
several of his polities, but he
hesitated to quit, and the Gover
nor didn't like to usk him to quit,
on account of the close relation
ship between himself and the
Portland Journal, whose editor is
Ward's father. The Journal,
however, has been hitting the
Governor a slight tap on the wrist
lately, showing that all is not
peaceful in the Democratic family.
The U. S. government placed a
premium on dishonesty during
the world war by the manner of
giving out cost-plus contracts and
dishonesty corrupted every man
or woman w ho was employed un
der such contracts. Through the
riot of careless governmental ex
penditures incident to that war,
our people became money -mad
and the country is suffering today
from the effect. Graft and dis
honesty in high places form a dis
grace to our official life, while
robberies, theft, forgery and
bootlegging, so common in the
ordinary walks of life, are but
another form of the same disease,
Not all the evils of war spring
from the results on the battle
field. In fact, it is possible that I

those are the least. The dead we j
mourn and honor in memory; the :
wounded we care for and protect
from any danger of want; the;
widows and orphans resulting
from fatalities are fully provided
for and in tlis way the direct in
juries of war pass awny without i
serious damage to the nation;)
but the moral evils which come'
to us through the exigencies and
influences of war, reach through
the succeeding years and into the
next generation with most bale
ful effect.
It will take forty years of care
ful education and training to re
store the pre-war sense of honor
and responsibility in this country,
and unless it can be done, our
great nation will bj sadly weak

Accompanying George Ritchie

A card has been received stat
ing that Ernest Heliker and fam
ily are enjoying themselves at
Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Fine
weather prevails; fishing and
bathing in the ocean and a good
time is being had. They are the
only Oregon people there.
Farmers should not be misled
by statements of grain buyers
that the government can not
formulate a plan to increase the
price of wheat. A better price
on w heat may be looked for this
fall and instead of large profits
going to the speculator, the far
mer is going to realize profit
for his product.
When "sweet young things"
began to boo their hair, a tre
mendous furore arose throughout
the country, but nobody has heard
the electrical appliance trade hoi
ler very loud about the new fad.
The reason is that a survey of the
situation shows that bobbed hair
has increased the sale of electric
curling irons about 150 percnt.
