Foreign Advertising Representative AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION THE GOD-GIVEN MIRACLE. N A LITTLE out of the way farm 1 house away down the road, many miles from the much-beloved Main Street, where in his sprightlier days he had lived an active and colorful life as the leading town politician, sat a little old man who was almost broken in spirit Once the cynosure of the eyes of the community, a moving spirit in all the town activities, but now practically a hermit for years he had hardly ventured out of his lit tle farm house. Even his eyes seemed to have failed him so that he could hardly read his local news paper. Unexpectedly he was presented with a radio, and he has since be come a different man. His interest in life has been renewed. Suddenly, out of the miracle that is called radio, come to him the speeches and sounds and cheers and even the spontaneous aemon strations of a great National Polit ical Convention. To his ears are carried the hoarse cheers of dele gates for their favorite candidates. A moment after a decision is made he hears of it As soon as the candidate is picked, he has the news. In fact he is transported by radio into the very midst of the great convention so many, many weary miles away. The old man's dimmed eyes shine with a new brightness. He can even decipher parts of his local paper. His spirit is quickened and revivified. And what has happened to this old man, is happening in every part of the country to thousands and thousands of bed-ridden invalids and shut-ins. What a blessing has been this God-given miracle. THAT SKEtfPY PRIMARY VOTE. THE state press is practically unanimous in condemning the light vote at this year's primary, but we have yet to note any news paper has suggested a remedy. If anything, the old prescription of prodding voters before election day with the old prescriptions of duties of citizenship, pride of citi zenship, patriotism and all the rest seem to have failed this year aven more than usual, and the total vote represented much less than half of the registration. True, if you at tempt to criticize a non-voter he is apt to say he is satisfied with re sults and assert that casting of only a percentage of the vote shows the drift of sentiment and a full vote would not have changed the result, but against this we have the record of how soundly a primary choice is sometimes lambasted at a gen eral election when nearly a full vote is cast For ourselves, we have for some time labored under the impression that the Oregon primary system is an expensive farce which costs the taxpayers a lot of money to accom plish what might more easily be done with little expense and with more representative reults. There are two ways of doing this. One is to abolish the primary en tirely and permit candidates to ap pear on the general election ballot without the previous winnowing, and the other is to revert to party primaries conducted by the parties The Fumble LEM-PUT ON VOUC SUOE-S- AMD T2UKJ 0ti OVEttTO MGS.

In considering the for mer, it might be pointed out that primary results are not conclusive, for the law permits tilings on the general election ballot, and there are many cases where candidates so filing have been elected without the expense and labor of going thru the pimary campaign. As to revert ing to the system which the direct primary displaced, it can be said that it costs the taxpayers nothing, and in spite of criticism we believe the selections were representative of popular sentiment as a general thing, and the exceptions usually appeared on the short end at the general election. But no matter how you may look at it this year's pri mary is nothing to De proua or when participation by the voters is considered, and the question is, shall we continue to drift from bad to worse, or devise a method of re forming what we have or turn to something different Hillsboro In dependent AN EXAMPLE OF PROMPT JUSTICE. FROM the Baker Herald we have this sample of speedy justice in Baker county: The public authorities of Baker county have just performed a feat that comes very close to setting a record for the entire country. Fri day evening about 7 o'clock two young toughs from the east attack ed a man in a local hotel room, boat him about the head with an iron pin, bound and gagged and left him under the bed for dead. They then made their gttaway. The victim was not dead. In a short time he was free and the authorities were notified. The young thugs had been seen boarding a west bound train shortly after the crime was committed. La Grande was notified and the pair were ar rested there. Within a few hours they were returned to Baker. Be ing caught red handed they readily agreed to waive indictment by the grand jury, go before the circuit judge, plead guilty and receive their sentences. This was possible under the new law approved by the people two years ago. Otherwise these confessed criminals would have re mained in jail at county expense until the next jury meeting in Octo ber. By 3 p. m. the following day, 20 hours after the crime was commit ted, the young would-be tough guys had gone into court and had been sentenced to 10 years in the Ore gon penitentiary. Only their youth saved them from a life sentence. Here is criminal administration at its best If there were more speedy justice of the Baker brand there would be less crime.

ByDunkie St Jrattk THE MAN WHO KEEPS HIS WORD IT IS like the shadow of a great rock in a weary land to run across as we do occasionally, a man who keeps his word. You may be- able to sue on written promises and contracts put in writing, which are usually binding, but somehow the man who does not keep his word strictly is a slippery customer and It is hard to get hold of him, even with a piece of writing. The fundamental security for a man doing what he promises Is, after all, character. If a man has character and is upright you are safer in lending him money than if he gives you a mortgage on his farm. Doing business with a liar is never satisfactory. Somehow he will attempt to wriggle out of his promises. It is easy to detect the strictly honest person. When he owes you money he does not avoid you, but openly and frankly pays you something on account right along, if he cannot pay the whole amount. The test of the fundamentally honest man is his punctuality in meeeting his engagements or in frankly explaining to you why those engagements cannot be met The courts are full of people trying to evade their plain en gagements. A man who is in debt sincerely tries to meet that debt whether it hurts him or not It is very trying and very disturbing to our faith in human nature to find a person who is always looking for alibis, always seeking explanations for 'not doing as he said he would do. The good loser, the' man who loses and yet is cheerful is the man who is after all one of the chief pillars of the social fabric. Kansas City G. O. P. Senator Fess Makes Bril liant Keynote Speech; Colorful Figures at Conclave. Written Especially for the Heppner Gazette Times By ROBERT FULLER Through Autocaster News Service. Kansas City, June 19. Crowds! Confusion! Noise! Gayety! Men gathered in secret, portentous con ferences. Loud public demonstra tions. Crowded hotels. Thousands of visitors and delegates were forc ed to walk up stairs to their rooms because there were not elevators enough to accommodate the crowds. Thousands waiting hours for their food, because the restaurants were jammed to the doors. That was the condition of Kansas City during the great Republican National Convention, when G. O. P. leaders from all over the country gathered in Convention Hall to make history. Everywhere excitement, interest. The thousands of delegates, vis itors, political figures and newspa per men that flocked to Kansas City made it almost impossible to navigate. The whole city took on a colorful holiday aspect and ev erywhere people were pointing at notables; they were as thick as bees! There were so many notables there was difficulty in recognizing each one that passed. When Guy D. Goff came off the train many did not recognize him as West Vir ginia's favorite son, but flocked about another man coming out of the same train. Soon the mistake was rectified, and Goff got the at tention. Secretary Mellon was the center of questioning groups before he made his decision everyone kept questioning what he meant to do, while he kept evading the ques tions shyly. When he entered the Convention Hall, the crowds cheer ed and cheered. He looked embar rassed. Senator Moses made a pictur esque, forceful figure as permanent chairman of the convention. Every body admired the industry of Na tional Chairman William M. Butler. ran? atj0: Echoes to Convention Everywhere there were promin ent women who took an active part in the convention Mrs. Longworth, daughter of the late President Roosevelt, was among the most ac tive. The women delegates were fewer in number than at the pre vious Republican convention, but ever so much more "thrilled" and interested and participated actively in all convention affairs. One of the sergeant-at-arms as signed to keep order during the convention was a woman, Miss Mary Elizabeth Baker, daughter of Governor Baker of Missouri. Two outstanding planks in the Republican platform were on pro hibition and farm relief. The Influx of protesting farmers to Kansas City was not as great as expected. Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio stressed prosperity in his brilliant, spectacular keynote speech. Said Senator Fess: "Today we are in the longest period of sustained business pros perity in our history. To continue it free from the cycle of business depression is the prime concern of leadership in industry. "The ruling ambition of Republi can leadership is to insure the max imum prosperity of all our people, and especially of those employed in agriculture and industry. "The problem of agriculture from a producer's standpoint is a more equitable distribution of what the consumer of food has to pay. "The farmer's complaint is not that the consumer does not pay enough, but of what he pays the producer does not get his rightful share." Senator Fess said that our for eign commerce is approaching the bewildering figure of ten billion dol lars per year. He also stressed that the party still held "to the doctrine of our fathers to avoid alliances." The busiest hotel corridor in the city was that leading to the rooms of Mellon and Senator Borah. These two leaders were being constantly consulted. The youngest delegate to the con vention was Osro Cobb, 24, a mem ber of the Arkansas legislature. Kansas City hotels estimated that they received about $103,000 a day, spent by visitors. The chief-door-keeper at the con vention was Col. Glenn C. Haynes of Des Moines. The second in com mand was John N. Johnson of Law rence, Kan., who held the same post at the Cleveland convention in 1924. There wore all of 48 door-keepers. More than 200 messenger boys were on duty at the hall. Extra telegraph facilities for the conven tion cost over a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Sixty-eight stations were joined in an elaborate network from coast to coast to broadcast the conven tion over the radio. The millions who "attended" the convention via radio got the complete proceedings and were In on every phase of the convention, as microphones were placed in all parts of the floor and balconies. By Arthur Brisbane Country Weeklies Vital. School for Parents. The Pygmies Learn How. Fiji Islanders. H. Z. Mitchell's "Sentinel" at Ber mldjl, Minn., wins the prize as best weekly in tho National Editorial contest This Is a good time to remind the public in general, and national advertisers In particular, that country weekly newspapers are the most important organs of public opinion and protectors of public welfare. And their advertising value, per mill line, is not excelled by any publication of any kind. The reader of a country weekly buys everything, from shingles on the roof to cement in the cellar floor, and every advertiser has In him a possible customer. What is the matter with our chil dren? Not much, but a great deal is the matter with some parents. rne police are hunting for a little girl, ten years old. Invited to go to a party by a plausible man, fifty eight years old. The child did not know the man, the parents did not know him. But the parents said, "Certainly." Off she went In the stranger's car, and that's- the last seen of her. Every public school should have an annex with the sign over the door: "Primary Common Sense for Parents." Miss O'Brien, adventurous young explorer, returns to St Paul, Minn., disappointed in all the African pyg mies. She shot all kinds of game, endured all kinds of hardship and says Africa is all right for a woman, but a little too rough for a man. "The pygmies are daring little creatures," says she, "but I had to teach them to act wild." She wanted moving pictures of them. Many American girls could teach any pygmy to act wild, and do so. Fiji Islanders, bushy haired, ac tive, gave a warm welcome to the monoplane Southern Cross, landed at Suva. Those Fijians once had an an noying habit of eating white men. This time they only cheered them. The fliers have beaten all rec ords, including Lindbergh's long distance flight over water. It is 5,538 miles of ocean from Oakland, California, to Suva, Fiji Islands, via Hawaii. The next hop, 1,700 miles, will take the fliers to Brisbane, Aus tralia, on the way to Sydney. The world is really flying. The 250 Fiji Islands, about eighty of them inhabited, belong to old grandmother Britannia. She rarely overlooks anything. When young people that now read this column get their around-the-world flying machines they may find chances to grow up with the country on some of those uninhab ited, unexplored Fiji Islands. Crops in the corn belt have taken an upward turn. The Arkansas River Valley reports, "Wheat will make thirty-five bushels to the acre." All that is cheerful to the Re publican candidate. Nothing melts irritation on the farms like good rains, good crops, good prices. George Bernard Shaw, becoming less important and less accurate af ter seventy, declares that accumula ted money is the root of all evil. Without accumulated money Nia gara Falls wouldn t be harnessed the Panama Canal, which helps Britain as much as it does u wouldn't be dug; automobile pro duction wouldn t be on a quantity basis and this country would have, perhaps, 240,000 expensive automo biles, instead of 24,000,000 inexpen sive automobiles. Great accumulations of capital, like great accumulations of water going down hill, represent power. Eliminate accumulated capital, and you would eliminate possibil ities of higher civilization. If the people haven't brains en ough to watch and control accumu lated capital they wouldn't have enough to control small capital. Peerless Feed Grinder No Burrs ar Knives to give trou ble.
