VOTE FOR HOOVER'S PRINCIPLES. W TTir Hoover withdrawn from tho Oregon primaries the fontcst on Fridav is, of course, a contest be tween Wood and Johnson. The issue between them is clear. Wood .stands for the League of Nations with proper reservations, lie stands opposed to the spirit of radicalism which would throw this government into a con flict of classes; Johnson stands against any League of Na tions, and is supported by the radical and disgruntled ele ments, 'which if given control, would plunge this countrv into an abyss of discord and confusion. It is unquestionable that Johnson does not represent a majority of the Kepublican party in this state. But he represents an active and uncompromising minority, and the obvious danger which Hoover foresaw, and in with drawing sought to id-event, is that the right-minded ma jority would be split, and thus give the state to the mi nority candidate. This would be a calamity, a calainit v for the state, for the party, and, perhaps for the countrv. Some of the Wood supporters fear the Hoover sentiment will go to Johnson. Such an assumption js absurd. Ihe Hoover sentiment is rounded in principle. It will never go to a man who re pudiates their principles. There is no enthusiasm in the Hoover camp for either Wood or Lowden, but there is no doubt the Hoover request, to unite upon a candidate who thinks as lie thinks, will be generally followed. Ot the two men, Wood and Lowden, the former will be given the main Hoover support, simply because' he is politically the stronger man. No one can deliver the Hoo ver vote. Jt is essentially independent, strongly averse to the time-honored practices of machine politicians. But deprived of its true leader, it will automatically go to the strongest man available, best calculated to embody those: principles m winch Hoover believes.

He was among the ' lirst public men to sense the inevitable war reaction. He saw more clearly than anyone else, that the high moral lervor, which sent two milium American soldiers tti I' ranee, would be followed by moral revulsion, centered in a materialism as low and selfish, as its former idealism had been high and exalted. Johnson's present strength lies in his shrewd capitali zation of this psychology., lint like most opportunists, Johnson must win quickly or lie will not win at all. There arc already indications that the high wave of war reaction has reached its flood. The beginning is not as one might expect, among the sentimentalists, but among the practi cal -minded business men. At the meeting of foreign Irade delegates in San Fran cisco the other day, James A. Farrel, president of the Unit ed States Steel corporation, sounded a note of .warning against the Johnson brand of American selfishness and iso lation, far more ellective than any amount' of political propoganua. He declared tho war had completely changed the eco nomic arrangement of the world. America must be pre pared to develop its trade with foreign countries, mustrre tnrn not only to peace, but to an international arrangement to insure peace and establish confidence and friendship among the nat ions or a serious industrial depression is in evitable. We quote: "Wo shall bo confronted In a nulto unmlstnknhlo way, with tho fact that Wb arc ablo to produce more than wo can Bell at homo. Wo shall face, accordingly, such nn urgency for foreign trade as wo never before exper ienced. 'For, either, wo shall find markctB abroad for tho Burplus of our Industrial productivity or wo shall ceaBe to produce it, which Is quite un thiukublo. That way lies stagnation, unemployment and business reverses." What does that mean? It means that sonic League of Nations must be established, some world organization tor peace must be attained, that the cheap campaign crv of America for Americans, the specious appeal ot national sel fishness is not only poor morals but poor business, that it means neither peace nor prosperity, it moans conflict and ruin. For it is plain to any thinking person, that the modern world is inextricably bound together economically. And an economic understanding can not exist without a politi cal understanding. It America is not to do its part in establishing world peace, America can't take her part in world prosperity. 'Small wonder Hiram Johnson has set about to show the Eastern business men he isn't as radical as he sounds. For as the war reflex wears off, it is American business that first awakens to the fact, that alluring as the prospect, of erect ing a Chinese wall about the country may seem, it spells disaster, not only disaster for those American ideals to which every true American at heart responds, but to the economic stability, which is the foundation of Ameri can well being. RippIingRhijniGs fy wait Maton S ml "-mm 4 w to i tic DER TAG. HKX a panic conies aud swats us, bringing forty kinds of woe, and the sheriff comes and tj'ots us court where bankrupts go, then we'll wonder, oh, we'll wonder, why, in booming, bulging times, when the trees were growing plunder, we refused to save some dimes. When the panic that's predicted by the wise men everywhere, comes along, and we're afflicted with it poor-house bill of fare, then we'll do some idle raving and we'll kick ourselves a verst, for we didn't do our saving when the boom was at its woi-st. Now that everything seems sunny, and our chances are the best, it's the time to put some money, with some mothballs, in a chest: put it down with cedar shavings, so the in sects won't annoy: for the man who has his savings is the wisest kind of boy. Soon this crazy boom may trun dle to the tomb in ghostly robe; then the man who has a bundle is the man who'll ride the trlobe. TAKING TANLAC t "I have actually guinea twenty-1 seven pounds In weight and feel justj like a new man since I began taking i Tanloc," said Dan Keed, a woodman, who lives at Bend, Ore., while in the Owl drug store recently. Continuing, he said: "Some time ago I began to have trouble with my stomach. My appe tite became very poor and I finally got to where I would have to force down every mouthful I ate, and when I did this I would suffer with intense cramping pains In my stomach after ward. I would also bloat something awful and my heart would palpitate terribly and it would be all I could do to get my breath. I lost so much weight that I finally became so weak I could hardly drag myself around. When I got up in the morning I al ways felt worse than when I went to bed, and I had no energy and Just felt tired and wornotit all the time. "I had been reading so much about Tanlac In the newspapers aud the good it was doing others I decided to; give it a trial, and it commenced to help me almost at once. My appetite Improved and I began to pick up in weight and strength. I have taken seven bottles in all now, and am glad to say 1 have been completely reliev ed of all my troubles. I can eat any thing I want without suffering any had after effects und all that tired, worn out feeling has gone. I can sleep all night long without waking and always get up in the morning feeling ready for my day's work, and while the Job of a woodsman natural ly requires a great deal of physical strength I can do as much as 1 ever did. Tanlac did me a great service in restoring my health, and I am always glad to tell others about it, and never miss nn opportunity to do so." 0. . ANSWERS TERRILL To tho Public: In defense of my candidacy for sheriff I nrn forced to answer tho let ter wrote for and signed C. 13. Terrill which appeared in tho Medford Tri bune and Ashland Tidings tho 12th and 13lh Inst. Sinco this attack on my platform. tlirougli tlio papers and otherwise. anil His candidacy Is based on FACTS, us ho says, with "Strict Law Knforce- mont" as his slogan I wonder if it wouldn't have been better Instead of attacking my candidacy, for him to have explained why one of his road deputies, wearing, tho star of Jackson county ut the tlnio, together with othorB was not prosecuted for bring ing uooze over the line tho night California went dry instead of being allowed to retain their booze and go unprosocutod. Was this "strict law enforcement?" Those are facts that can be substantiated, which he did not mention. Mr. Terrill has not acted as Juven ile and truant officer on his own vol untary expense saving idea. He has acted as such because tho county court did away with those officers and made it incumbent on the sheriff to handle this work. Mr. Terrill had nothing to do with sending out those delinquency no tices last December, that he infers ho did, which ho says, and I agree with him, was a great benofit to de linquent property owners. His name did nppeur printed on the notices as that was the only nnmo that could be used. Thoso notices were sent at my suggestion and under my supervision after consulting with tho county court on the best method to take in Interest of tho property owners in ad Justing their delinquencies prior to the county soiling the property. Who deserves tho credit? Mr. Terrill states that it cost about $1000.00 to make up the tux receipts this spring but he fulled to say that this only covered the first half ceipts and that under tho present antique system the same process will avo to bo repented this fall for sec ond half receipts at about the same cost making about $2000.00 for tho year when from $1000.00 to $1200.00 should cover It for the whole year. That is where I propose to save from $;00.00 to $1000.00 per year. I will admit that it Is rather ex pensive, if It is truo as Mr. Terrill infers, for the county to pay him a l.iry for ono term while ho is learn ing tho business preparatory to a sec ond term, and I will admit that a great many officers do spemf their first term In learning tho business and niuklng a good follow of them selves while their deputies do work which they ran hold up as a recom mendation of a successful adminis I rn Hon to gain second term votes, and I will go further and say that many officers do better their first term than they do Ihe second term. If Mr. Ter rlil does not believe In changing offi cers so often, why wns ho so keen to run to take the second term from Mr. Jennings. Kxpcnsc of changlns officers depends on qualifications of Ihe man elected. I have stated my qualifications which Includes 18 years practical commercial and executive experience and I foci from my service as chiel deputy last six months of 1919 that I thoroughly know the needs and requirements of the office, both In sldo and out. and need no one term to get acquainted with It, and If nom inated and elected the promises set out In my platform will be establish- Read the Bible Standard Some Gospel Information An article in the "Bible Standard" answers the questions of the many inquirers regarding our vol untary withdrawal. from the Apostolic Faith.
