Blue Mountain Eagle (Canydn City) THE EDITOR of this paper as- pires to no jjuuutaj jjicougs; We have 30 honors or emoluments. voted for eovernors for over vears and never have had as much as a pleasant smile from one of them and we would not toss a penny who's elected governor. However, we have our own notions, and they are given here, not to influence any one, but to express our own views, for we expect to vote and we will tell you how and why. As a demo crat, of course, we would say right off the bat that Bailey was the best bet But here's the sticking point Metschan was born and reared in Grant county, and somehow we are partial to the home grown product just like we eat Sally Ann bread and ask our grocer for Marigold butter. We went to school with Metschan 40 years ago, knew him as a boy and he was a good kid. Being a Grant county man and a life long acquaintance is a stronger tie than any mere political alleg iance. And we think it ought to be If we were to select whom we be lieve the most unfit, most unquali fied and least entitled man for gov ernor of Oregon, we would name Julius L. Meier. Why? We went to school with him; knew him as a young man and followed him in his career. Going back to school davs we recall this boy, and Fred Jacobs, A. Walter Wolfe, Ira Pow ers (a fine man). Bill Kearnan (a constable) who got a fat job with Julius. And there was Billy Swope of the Mercury, scandal and black mail sheet (now supporting Julius) and Billy Souls and the gang. In our humble opinion even Bill Lip- man would have made a better gov ernor. And then Julius thought be would practice law and hung out his shingle under the firm name of JoseDh. Schlagle & Meier. Julius did no practicing. Frank Schlagle, a tall, lanky, hungry looking kid, was a fine man. In these days Geore-e Joseph hung around the court house when Mose Block and A. H. Maegley were scalping coun ty warrants. Mr. Joseph wore derby then. But we will pass that up. Then Meier died, and Julius father was a high type Hebrew, fine gentleman. That's when the store was down on First street Old man Frank was as fine a man as ever lived in Oregon. We don't think much of his boys. But that's aside, for Julius did not last long as a lawyer and went into the store. Frank and Joseph became fast friends and when he died, Bert Haney, his law partner told the writer that the widow gave Mr. Joseph a full power of attorney for her interests in the store, and it is our opinion that Mr. Joseph was the controlling factor in the busi ness. Of course Julius attended to some things in the store when he was there. We called on Mr. Joseph in the office one -day. Joseph was raised in Lake county and we asked him if Julius had ever been to Eastern Oregon. No, he's in Jeru salem now. And Julius never was in Eastern Oregon until he made his recent trip to tell the people how he was for them and loved them. Julius Meier has never shown the slightest Interest in Eas tern Oregon or the state. Not one dime in philanthropy has his name been connected with. He is no such character as Ben Selling. He's the lucky, scion of millions of dollars that have been used for Julius and Julius alone. You say he wants honor? He's had ample opportun ity with his millions to build baby homes, play grounds, beautify and adorn his native hearth. Where are they? The Oregon Voter shows that when he contributed to a public fund it had the string on it; buy from our store. We might discuss his platform; but he has none. He tells you so. I stand in George Joseph's shoes, says he. That's rot, and you know it and is just about as sensible as if he said I stand in Abraham's, Isaac's and Moses shoes. Knowing and following this man's career, as we have for nearly 50 years, it is our humble opinion that Julius Meier is the most un worthy man who ever ran for gov ernor in Oregon. And, yet we are just revolutionist enough to have a hankering to sit in the side lines and watch the fun if he is elected, provided certain newspapers don't get the lockjaw. No, we would not support Julius Meier tr he stood four square on the Ten Command ments. We have no recommenda tions. Next time you are in Port land go up to Mr. Meier's office and have a nice chat witn mm, like vou could George Joseph. Try it Maybe he will invite you to nis million dollar home. Maybe. The above quoted editorial from the Blue Mountain Eagle is an ex ample of the work of the keen anal ytical pen of its editor. Ranking as one of the outstanding eaitoriai writers of the state, the Eagle edi tor is oft' quoted in contemporary journals. In this instance, however, we are amazed at the shortness of his memory. Julius Meier did visit Eastern Oregon once before, rie once led a caravan into the sand wastes to tell the folks out here how the desert would blossom as a gar den if they would help Portland hold a World's Fair. But maybe he didn't visit Grant county then. We don't remember. TOME FAMDinif- JOHN JOSEPH GAINESTM-D. The Human Unit "A sound mind in a sound body" is the ideal condition of health. When your physician is called to see you, he views you critically, first as a whole. Swiftly he scans the person in front of him; he notes position of body, color, expression, movements or lack of them, utter ances or absence of them; he notes tremors, involuntary expressions in muscles, nerve and bone; his sweep is accomplished in far less time than it takes to tell it he does it automatically, often does not him self realize the keenness and activ ity of his own perception in arriv ing at a conclusion as to what the matter is. The human as a unit is, indeed, the first and most important con clusion as to what the matter is. The human as a unit is, indeed, the first and most important con sideration. I may say here quite advisedly that over half the people who demand the service of a physi ian, are, first of all, "run-down" and tired mentally. TRUST BUSTING. Record-Chieftain I THEN a young 1 In these days of worry and ap prehension the eternal watching the clock makes men sick; greatly lessens bodily resistance to diseese. Timely vacations would cure half of our patients, but sup pose the worker, the man who is working the tread-mill hasn't the time or money to take the needed vacation? The mind must keep on and on, tearing down the wholly subservient body! How futile it seems to the physi cian, to prescribe medicines to re lieve a condition that only rest mental and physical, can cure! How helpless is the physician who is called to minister in conditions that he is powerless to relieve! The purpose of this sketch, then is to urge people to take advantage of every moment of mental and physical calm that presents itself. No one is compelled to belong to a half dozen organizations that con sume as many nights each week and destroy rest Take care of the mind and the body will be a fitter home for it (Enterprise) elk lowers his head and shakes his antlers at the old bull and challenges him to battle for the lordship of the herd, that is trust busting. When a year ling rooster braves the venerable cock which has ruled the roost many seasons, that is trust busting. Probably the young jellyfish dispute the authority of the tough old fa thers, and that also is trust busting. From time immemorial, among men and beasts, old dictators and rulers are opposed by the younger genera tion or the new champions, and psy chologically it is all trust busting. Agrarian uprisings, or farmers re volts, were recorded centuries ago, showing the agricultural elements had become strong and independ ent, and believed the governmental or urban factions were oppressing them one way or another. More re cently, the same movement took form in the populist party in the United States, and Jerry Simpson of Kansas and similar leaders were captains of the embattled political army that attacked Wall street, the railroads, the grain dealers, the im plement manufacturers, merchants, money lenders; in fact attacked ev erybody who seemed to possess property and to be able and willing to pay his debts. Again we hear the call to battle, the toscin is sounded as the fervid writers say, and we are asked to shoulder arms and march forth to meet the enemies of humanity and progress. It is the same old enemy but the name is new, for now it is the power trust, the hobgoblin horde led by the bogie man of Wall street, "And he'll get you, if you don't watch out" If we were in South America and crops were light or prices low or if the game had gone slowly and the other fellow had had a long inning and we never got to bat, to mix the figure of speech we would issue a proclamation of burning patriotism and blow the bugle and call our fel low men to arms and march on the decadent, degenerate, disloyal, trait orous buzzards who occupy public office and fatten on the public trea sury. Then our pure and lily white host would save the country and we would take our turn in public office, to fatten on the public treasury. Please excuse us if we decline to stampede, if we remain cool and keep our feet on the ground. The sun still shines bright, the grass grows green and the mountain tops are white in Wallowa county. ECHOES FROM THE COOS COUNTY MEIER ENDORSE MENT. Democrat-Herald (Baker) NE of the most startling political V-J happenings in Oregon history was the endorsement of Julius L. Meier, independent candidate for governor by the Coos county repub lican central committee last week over the regular republican nom inee, Phil Metschan. Copies of the Coos Bay Times, Marshfleld daily, reaching here, indicate that the vote, taken by secret ballot at meeting which included less than half of the full committee has aroused a storm of protest in that section and seems more likely to help Metschan than Meier, Inas much as the Times is not support ing Metschan and has seemed rath er favorably disposed toward Meier its statements are highly signifi cant Republicans in Coos county resent the attempt of the Meier support ers to "steal" the G. O. P. organiza tion, as they put it They charge that the Meier endorsement follow ed "the free circulation of Meier campaign money over the county." Meier is apparently putting on a more expensive campaign than has ever been weged in Oregon. Paid workers seem to be on the job in all parts of the state. And money talks. But sometimes money can be used to such an extent as to cause an explosion. Newberry over reached himself in Michigan and lost his seat in the senate, although he probably spent less than Meier will in Oregon, considering the re spective populations to be reached. Thus far the Meier money seems to be producing satisfactory re sults without antagonizing the liber al or radical element Perhaps the Coos deal was so raw that it will react against those who "fixed" it On the other hand, perhaps not SOME LIES NAILED. Editor Gazette-Times: The afternoon papers in Portland, one of which last year received from Meier & Frank Co., for adver tising, $25,000, another $110,000 and the third $140,000, are reiterating the dirty falsehoods with which they started the campaign. They con' tinue to harp about the "secret bal lot," used by the Republican Com mittee, and try to make it appear tt I that such a ballot was Illegal and against ine spirit oi me uireci jjii mary law. There is not one word in the direct primary law which can be construed to require a roll call ballot by the committee, but in the preamble and section one of the direct primary law there are some clauses which give foundation for the argument of those who insisted that the law provide for a secret ballot Among the candidates, Mr. Metschan and Mr. Hamilton favor ed the roll-call ballot, while Mr. Kay and Mr. Gates favored the se cret ballot It is claimed that Mr. Meier wanted a roll-call ballot but Jack Peare, who was Mr. Meier's chief booster in the committee, made the most telling speech in favor of the "secret ballot," voted for the secret ballot, and later sign ed the call for the convention which nominated Mr. Meier, in which call the secret ballot was denounced. If Mr. Peare had made as strong a speech for the roll-call as he did for the secret ballot and had voted for the roll-call ballot, the roll-call might have won. Then, they assert that the Com mittee scrapped the Joseph plat form, and that it nominated a man "on a different platform." The fact is that some of the leading attor neys of the state declared that the committee had no legal right to adopt any platform whatever, and if they did attempt to adopt a plat form, such platform would not be binding upon anybody whomsoever. This opinion was concurred in by the attorney general and by Circuit Judge L. H. McMahan, the latter having been a warm supporter of senator Joseph. They keep assert- ing that the Josepn piauurm wn adopted by the people when Senator Joseph was nominated, mere ia not one word in the law wnicn, Dy any construction, can be made to sustain any such contention. If you concede thta the people who voted for Mr. Joseph voted also for every plank in his platform, you must also concede that the people who votea against Mr. Joseph voted against his platform. There is no getting away from this. Mr. Joseph receiv ed something over 50.000 votes, while his opponents received over 94,000. So, until 50,000 can be prov en to be more than 94,000, this argu ment must be discounted about 100 per cent. But, regardless of what the people may have meant by their votes, the fact remains that the committee did not scrap the Jo seph platform, and no-one who is honest will make such an assertion, If money, misrepresentation and mud-slinging can win, the outcome is obvious, and we had just as well hang out the sign, "None but mil lionaires need apply for office in this state.

WORLD'S TEMPERANCE SUNDAY SPIRITUAL WEAPONS IN WORLD WAR. Galatlans 6:13-26. Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D. - It is hard to find a new argument, for the liquor question has been be fore mankind from the earliest days. The family of Noah, for ex ample, had to face the shame and disgrace of a drunken father. Today no one undertakes to refute the facts that science presents when it demonstrates that alcohol is poi son. These deadly reactions are al ways exact and clearly understood. Personal liberty is understood. Per sonal liberty is about the loudest argument that is presented in de fence of the habit Here our les son text meets us and shows that Paul punctured that fallacy in his letter to the Galatlans. Of course people have individual liberty but no one should do as he pleases to the detriment of self or of society. Real character makes one a ser vant of mankind and therefore one must not help forward the destruc tion of the other man. Paul wag safe when he followed the teaching of Jesus and said "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Paul had the right kind of psy chology in presenting the matter. He showed how to be constructive If they would endeavor to walk in accord with the Holy Spirit they would at once cease to center their thinking in themselves and see what they might obtain for their own satisfaction. All were aware of the works of the flesh, yet Paul catalogues them. Nearly every one is incited or Increased by the use of alcoholic beverages. Then note Paul's contrast even the cumulative fruit of the Spirit, that matures when people seek to do righteousness. This mastery is gained through the Spirit and thus men are free indeed to work out the best In their lives.
