Foreign Advertising Representative AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION WOCLD ATTEND CONVENTION. AS DELEGATE -AT -LARGE to rt the Republican national conven tion, Levi Pennington, president of Pacific College, Newberg, is an avowed Hoover supporter. At the time of filing his candidacy, Mr. Pennington made this statement: "I believe in promoting America's greatness and high character by maintaining our prosperity and just ly distributing its benefits, and by faithfully and impartially enforc ing all laws, including the prohibi tion laws. I believe in advancing America's leadership abroad by cul tivating international understand ing and good will, and wish to see America the leader in promoting world peace. I believe that all these ends will best be advanced by elect ing as president Herbert Hoover, good citizen, man of affairs, able executive, humanitarian, patriot, and world statesman." Mr. Pennington is president of the college attended by Hoover when he was a resident of the state of Oregon, and he states that should he be elected delegate-at-large to the Republican national convention he shall work for him, first, last and all the time. Another candidate for this place will be W. L. Thompson, banker of Portland, who will make his official announcement this week, we under stand. Mr. Thompson is better known in the eastern part of Ore gon than Mr. Pennington, and it is understood that he will be a strong supporter of the McNary-Haugen farm relief measure, using his ef forts to bring about the nomination of a man by the republicans favor able to this plan of farm relief. WHY NOT OTHERS, ALSO? IN LAST issue, Milton W. Bower, pastor of a local church, issued a challenge to the candidates aspir ing to the office of sheriff of Mor row county, and called for them to make plain their stand in regard to law enforcement; particular ref erence being made to the enforce ment of the prohibition laws. As we view it, this is a fair challenge, and something the friends and foes of prohibition alike are entitled to. The time seems to us to be past when men who desire the favor of the electorate at the polls, can ex pect to get by without letting it be plainly known just where they stand on this Important question. No man loses in the estimation of the public by saying "right out in meeting' where he stands on this or any oth er issue of law enforcement The simple declaration that he believes in enforcing all laws may get by with some, but the great majority are demanding to know where their law enforcing officers will be found on the question of enforcing obed ience to the 18th amendment One of the candidates comes forth this week and states where he stands; let the others do likewise that the issue may be clean cut; that the people may understand just what to expect in performance af ter the election has passed and the newly qualified officer assumes his duties. Just Think!- THE ANNUAL LOSS THROUGH FRAUD IN THE I YmWJ " ' rWTT NO FACTS ON HAND! 'THE current belief is that crime conditions are known to author ities, and that careful statistics are available. The National Crime Com mission, however, through Louis Mc. H. Howe, assistant to the chair man, has let it be known that there is no way of telling how much crime there is in the country and how this crime is divided among the various states and communities. The Commission therefore is sponsoring a bill, to be introduced in the vraious state legislatures, asking that all crimes be promptly reported by local police officers. It is a queer fact, and few are cog nizant of it, that most of the crimes committed in the United States are not reported or recorded. All estimates on crime conditions are mere guesswork, reliable agen cies unite in declaring. Statistics are altogether inadequate. There has been talk of a crime wave for three years. When the National Crime Commission was formed it was determined to find out if there really was a "crime wave. A reliable statistical bureau was en gaged to collect the figures on crime and reported that there was no gen eral collection of figures. The statistics had never been gathered together by localities. The statistical bureau said it would cost about one million dol lars, and take about six months, to collect data that would probably be incorrect at that! Thus it was demonstrated that imaginary figures on this matter are just as good as printed ones. If crime is greater in the cities than in the smaller centers, then the herding together of large popu lations is a cause for crime; if crime is just as prevalent in the country as in the city, then there must be another cause; nobody knows. And until facts about crime be come known facts, no sane, respon sible study of crime conditions with view to reducing criminality, can be made. Therefore it seems the act compelling all local police offi cers to report every crime that comes within their ken might prove very helpful and salutary if it be comes a law. HOW CAN THEY? Pendleton East Oregonian. THE Al Smith candidacy is provid ing the democratic party with a lot of embarrassment and the situa tion is going to get worse, not bet ter, if the Houston convention names the Tmamany man for pres ident The questions asked by ex Governor West of ex-Governor Pierce give a line on where the state politicians in Oregon and else where, are to meet up with grief. How can a democrat expect to pose as a believer in the dry amend ment and its enforcement if he sup ports Al Smith? The New York governor is quoted by fellow demo crats as having said with great bluntness that he thinks the demo cratic party is a saloon party and always has been and should say so He thinks that strong enough that he signed the bill for the repeal of the New York enforcement act and did so though a governor is under oath to uphold the constitution of the United States and the laws of congress. It is going to be hard for demo crats in this state or elsewhere to make people believe they support the dry cause if at the same time they give aid and support to those who would destroy the law and give us a return to the saloon system, Is it therefore surprising to hear predictions by experienced writers that the democrats will lose many senate and house members if Smith is their nominee? By the same token how are dem ocratic cmpaigners and newspapers to criticise the republicans for Vare or for the oil scandal if Smith is named? If the Vare machine'! methods are bad, what about Tam many hall? Are - they not twin brothers and is there any real dif ference between the methods of the New York machine? How can democrats talk about Teapot Dome and corruption if they themselves name a Tammany candidate for u Take care of Et I would US. 2.

They are not always considering the letter of the law, but have an in ward letter that they obey. It is refreshing to meet these people. They renew your faith in human nature. Some one has said the honest man has the advantage over the dishonest one because the honest man knows there is one honest man in the world, while the dishonest man does not know there are any. A lawyer named Gavin McNab died the other day in San Fran cisco. In his will we find two bequests, one to Mrs. Elklns of thirty-five thousand dollars and another of five thousand dollars to Joseph Finnell. The money was bequeathed in each instance because the people had lost money on account of advice' given them by Attorney Mc Nab. . . . He was under no obligation to return this money, but he Just felt better for doing it The explanation is simple. The man was honest And he wasn't honest because he had to be, but just because he was. ' The other Instance is that of Reuben H. Donnelly, millionaire head of a publishing company. Twenty-two years ago Mr. Donnelly's company passed through bankruptcy. He afterwards made good, is now sixty-three years old, and has some money. He has voluntarily made good all the debts that were wiped out by bankruptcy. Some of the creditors held claims for only small amounts, but they were in the humbler walks of life and in many cases a little money meant a great deal to them. Now he is taking care of these little fellows. There was one man who had a claim of eighteen dollars when the house went Into bankruptcy. That was in 1905. He got his check for $38.75, which is plus interest for twenty-two years. Mr. Donnelly said in his letter to the old creditors, "While the unpaid balance does not constitute a legal claim, I have always considered it a moral one." It is a comfort to know that there are some people in the world who cannot rest easy until they have discharged all their obligations. president and deny honor to Sena tor Walsh to whose ability ana courage we owe the expose of the oil reserve swindle? For the benefit of those critics of young people who think that the new generation Is composed about 100 per cent of featherweights, Uma tilla county can point with pride to Buck Lieuallen. Just back from California where he was feted and praised for his part in the capture of William Edward Hickman, Buck is still the same quiet unaffected, unspoiled, likeable chap. Hermis ton Herald. If George Washington were to come back now, walk along Penn sylvania Avenue and see a modern flapper parked in a roadster with her legs crossed smoking a cigar ette, wonder if he wouldn't be just a little sorry that he saved the country? No doubt some of the 174 men who are now engaged in a foot race across the United States objected to running down to the corner gro cery for a loaf of bread when asked to by their women folks. A new model automobile causes a lot of excitement these days but just wait until the airplane indus try, ten years from now announces a new model, and all the people will be up in the air.

OF THESE, BUT ALL OF THESE ran? aga: MEN New York writer says. Some peo ple think that's just the kind of can didate we need. Don't you wish you were still young enough to believe that the Easter rabbit laid all of those beau tifully colored eggs? It is said that Russia comprises 577 tribes who speak 150 languages. Regular New York city spread over a lot of territory. The most acute hearing ability is possesed by the candidate who feels 3ure. that he can sense the call of the people. By Arthur Brisbane Inherited Knowledge. Drifting From Religion. The Unemployment Crisis California's Good Roads. Men are Interested in animal gen ealogies. Ants, wasps and other in sects have developed marvelous in herited knowledge, which we fool ishly call "instinct," because they were millions of years before men came. . Science shows that men will con tinue on earth, barring catastrophe, at least 100,000,000 years more. Some day babies will be born In heriting accumulated knowledge and ready to attack new problems. That will be a race worth while. Read Fabre'g account of surgical operations performed by mud wasps that never saw father or mother, took no lessons and were born to know how. The Rev. Dr. Straton, in Califor nia to debate on evolution, says our people, youth especially, are drifting from religion and all respect for the laws of God or man. Our nation and race are threatened. He is sure of it. Some centuries ago earnest, well-meaning priests of Greece and Kome were saying the same thing. And when Christianity came along these ancients were sure the world was going to the dogs. They went, but the world improved. Unemployment, according to ex perts, Is less serious than it was. That's small comfort for a man without a job. Big business says you must ex pect unemployment crises. They will always occur. They said that once about financial panics, but the Federal Reserve System ended them. Elg business opposed the reserve system, now universally praised. Big business is old and age ac cepts new Ideas reluctantly. The marvelous thing la that un employment is not worse. In the automobile industry today thlrty- inree men do as much as 100 coum do in 1914, thanks to improved ma chinery and methods. Next year California will spend seventy-eight million dollars on good roads, and California has more good roads than any other State al ready. In consequence, California leads in automobile ownership, which means family comfort If other states, with good roads, could build up automobile owner ship as California has done, there would be sixty million instead of twenty-four million automobiles running in this country. Other States might think that over. Oliver Wendell Holmes, able Su preme Court Justice, who realizes that the Constitution was made by and for men, not men for the Con stitution, is seventy-eight years old. He continues working, obeying his motto, "rest is not the destiny of man." A big monument would re ward Justice Holmes if he could tell what the destiny of man really IS, how we got here, whence we came, whither we go from here, what happens after we go. But about such questions a learn ed Supreme Court Justice knows as little as an Eskimo watching for seals in the ice hole. Science and religion are and must remain separate. Science gradually reveals to men that which they can explain and understand. Religion, which changes as men's civilization changes, represents the effort to know and understand that which men can never know or understand. Religion, destined to remain a mat ter of faith, never to be proved, is at least as important as science. Science gives knowledge, safety and wealth. Religion gives peace.
