HOOVER AS REPUBLICAN NOMINEE
A MOVEMENT lias been started to plaeo Hoover's
name in the Oregon j)resi(lentiitl primary on the Ke
pnlilican ticket. This is probably the first time in politi
cal history that an American citizen lias been advanced as
a presidential candidate by both parties.
K:-(iovcrnor West started the Jloover boom for the
democrats in this state, energetically supported by the
Portland .Journal. At last, report the reuircd signatures
had been secured. Now the Republicans want him.
This strange phenomniena i'orceably illustrates the
present decline of the old time political partisanship, and
the peculiar appeal Jloover lias for the people at large
regardless of party.
Jn our opinion nothing would be of greater benefit to
tht; Republican party than the nominal ion of Jloover. Au
tomatically the party would Ik; cleaned out, vitalized and
renoated, without a revolution within the party, as was
necessary in Hoover would instinctively draw to him
self the liberal and progressive elements of the party, and
place them where they belong, in control.
'
If Hoover is nominated he will be nominated in spite
of the professional manipulators, and the old guard strategist.-:,
he will represent tht; victory of a new political gene
ration. AYith him will be American youth, American ef
ficiency and Hi:1 thousands of thoughtful American citi
zens, who, regardless of parly, want to see the man in the
Wh'te House for the next four years, who is best fitted,
by ability, experience and character for the all-important
service of reorganization and reconstruction.
It won't be an easy light. If Hoover is the h'epublican
noniiiiec it will represent a bloodless political revolution
of IVr-reaching consequences. Hut the obvious benefits
of such a result, jusl il'ies every Hoover Jvcpublican making
a hard fight for it.
DETERMINE PUBLIC OPINION.
T:JK members of the school board are convinced Hie
people of .Medford are behind them in their support
of Superintendent Davenport and his policies. A consider
able number of citizens are equally convinced the people
arc not behind them.
' As a preliminary move to (dear the atmosphere, and
dotei'iiMiie just what popular sentiment is, we believe the
plan of the I'areiit-Teacher's council to call a mass meeting
confined to parents of students in the schools is an excel
lent one. Such a meeting would be of constructive value
iit the present time.
.For the parents of students in the school are the ones
nios(; vitally concerned in the present controversy. Their
children are the ones lo he injured or benefitted by the
school system. We have no doubt that any program en
dorsed by the parents as a whole, will be accepted by the
school board.
H,'Hie parents are hopelessly divided on the proper
course to pursue that fact will come out at such a meeting,
if they are not; divided I hat fact, will also come out.
True the edict of the school board that, no further pub
lic discussion of 1 he school sit uat ion should be indulged in,
will have to be overruled, but we still think this can be
done without transgressing the police regulations. The
latinos of the students are not all Holsheviki, and the
mothers are not all hysterical neurotics. We have talked
with stunt; of them and find they arc-reasonably sane, and
inclined to look at the problem from rather a bi;oad angle.
As long as the school board declines to accept a com
mittee of arbitration, let the parents get .together and
thresh out the entire question until they arrive at a plan
of action upon which they can, as a whole, unite. Such
a plan, we take it, will he pretty close to the plan that will
finally have to be adopted. For no plan can succeed with
out the support of the parents and no plan with their sup
oort can fail.
When men on the ground,
of I 'resident. Wilson 's policies,
rence, both urge his acceptance
sciia'e reservations, people
theii opinion of the situation at Washington, are given
liret t v safe ground for their conclusions.

FACTS AND THINGS
OlTl treasured landmarks disappear in a surpris

but a lake t''day. When I was young the village doc

or wet our feet, ami went to beds of pain, and called
rpoit the name of IVte, and that of Mike in vain. Hut
now the doc. in sounding terms, another platform
s rings, and all our ills are due to germs, the doggone
measely thiiiL's. In fifteen years, or maybe less, that
graft will look forlorn, and doctors then I make tin
guess will laugh our germ's to scorn. The rules of
lieall li of yesteryear look now like silly fads, and seicn
1i. ts sit up to jeer the wisdom of our dads. The doctor
o1' the olden time had whiskers long and black: he
couldn't hope to tarn a dime unless he had a stack.
Hut now the doctor with a beard in deep privation
squirms; the man with lambrequins is feared, for
they are full of germs. It is a world of piffle friends,

contain calomel, but a healing, soothing
"vegetable laxative.
No griping is the "keynote" of these
little sugar-coaled, olive-colored tab
Jets. They cause the bowels and liver to
act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action.
