Pendleton East Oregonian. IT IS easy to get the wrong slant on public affairs by a casual reading of newspapers. They publish news and it is usually ac curate but it is gathered and han dled in such a way that totally wrong impressions are sometimes created. It is necessary to look the whole field over rather care fully if you wish to get the true perspective. Al Smith's successful race for reelection as governor of New York state on a wet platform was given unlimited publicity. The story of his reelection is entirely true and it expresses the senti ment of New York. There has been no publicity, however, re garding another story on the oth er side of the issue. That story as related by the Los Angeles Ex press in an editorial is as follows : Never before had the people of Cal ifornia expressed themselves so em phatically on the wet and dry issue as they did in last Tuesday's election. The vote to sustain the Wright state enforcement act was the heaviest ever polled in this state against liquor, showing the growing sentiment here for enforcement of prohibition. The heavy vote in fact was a surprise. Few had been sanguine of any victory; none had dared count on such a vic tory. For months it had been made to appear that wet sentiment was sweeping over the state. In the cir cumstances the great vote polled on Tuesday in support of the Wright act was doubly gratifying. It is difficult fully to appreciate the significance of the vote. Early report srired East carried information that California had gone wet by 117,000 or more. The East received that report as if it were what had been expected, and California was at once written down along with New York as defi nitely wet. But a few hours later the wets of the East, the same as was true here, learned what to them was a dismal and disappointing truth, that California is drier today than ever be fore in its history. The effort to de feat the Wright act had been defeated, along with the effort to restore gamb ling. Credit Jor this remarkable showing at least, a large measure of the credit will go to William Gibbs Mc Adoo, the only man of outstanding prominence in the state who had the courage to take up the leadership of the dry forces against the tremendous wet organization which had been formed to destroy the Wright act. It was McAdoo whose influence re suited in the democratic party state convention adopting a ringing declar ation against any weakening modi- fication of the Volstead act and against the brazen effort to repeal the Wright enforcement act. It was McAdoo who fired the first gun in the state-wide campaign in de fense of the Wright act. Other na tional and state leaders were invited to participate, but McAdoo was the only conspicuous person who stepped forward and took up the fight. He spoke repeatedly during the campaign in all parts of the state, hurling the charge of nullification directly into the face of wet leaders. What seemingly had been a hopeless lost cause was galvanized into life and became a great fighting foice. California on Tuesday voted by more than 60,000 majority to sustain the Wright act and to proclaim Califor nia's position definitely, solidly and permanently m the dry column was a wonderful victory. The California result was a Mc Adoo triumph and a victory for the law enforcement side. lak ing the country as a whole the large eastern states are wet but the south, the midwest and the west are dry, save in spots. This fact is often lost sight of for rea sons that may be easily under stood. New York is the nation's news center and news reports seem influenced by Gotham s sen timent with a result that we do not always get the correct perspective Potatoes and Prices. TN AROOSTOCK County, Me, X upon the northeast tip of the United States, they grow their po tatoes big. This year, WaWlter Christie, of Presque Isle, in Aroostock County, produced 154,000 barrels of pota toes on 1,100 acres, which every farmer knows is better than an average crop. The estimated cost of producing these potatoes is $1.70 a barrel By selling at $4 a barrel, Mr, Christie apparently stands to clear $354,200, surely not a bad year work. Every so often a story of this nature is printed in the newspa DkFrank Crane Says ) tap He axel ' BE YOURSELF ' A COMMON slang phrase now is "Be yourself!" It is used in various instances. It has a good deal of intelligence in it. Few people, object to you when your motives are considered to be sincere and genuine. You are only objectionable when you put on motives that do not belong to you. The thing people do not like most of all is to have you think that you can deceive them. As long as your actions are genuine and real, they know how to deal with them, but when they are convinced that you are endeavoring to overcome them by trying to borrow words or actions or motives from someone else, they do not like it. So they telVyou to "be yourself." Of course we cannot express all our emotions of feelings perfectly. There is a certain amount of self-control required by ordinary decency, but at least those feelings that we express should be those that are ours unquestionably and not those we think we should have. A good many people are sorry for themselves, not because of the hard time they have, but because of the hard time other people think they ought to be having. It is very easy for a preach er or an actor or some such a one to think that he is working hard when everybody says that he is. If he would honestly look at himself and consult his own feelings alone, he would realize that he is not working hard at all. Seft-pity arises from a sort of borrowed notion of ourselves. Oliver Wendell Holmes said that there were several Johns in one person the man John is, the man John thinks he is, and the man John other people think he is. If everyone of us could distinguish between the man we are and the man other people think we are, it would do much to facilitate our getting along with each other. pers and travels half around the world. It has quality called hu man interest htat makes a news story good. It pictures man as victor in his batlte with nature. And it seems to show all the farmer needs to do is walk nito his fields and pick up the dollars, that the farm is a gold mine needing only to be promoted and exploit ed by its owner. The trouble with such a story is that the battle needs a background It makes no mention of the bad years for Aroostock County potato raisers, and there have been sev eral bad years since 1920. And the farmer knows, too, that e is getting but 83 cents for his dollar when measured against pre war prices, as is shown in the re port of the agricultural depart ment of the federal government. Up to October 15, a decline of 4 per cent in the average of farm- product prices is reported. The price of all farm crops may be shown at 130 with the pre-war prices taken as 100, but still, and he knows it, the farmer gets but 83 cents for his dollar when he steps into the market to buy with it.
