Some of the temperamental voters are on the verge of shooting somebody, or biting themselves. The Portland ball team continues at the bottom of the heap, and every thing Is wrong with the team, but the members thereof. The present Administration, unlike the last one Is shy of high-sounding phrases concern for all nations but its own, pinhf aded cabinet members, and professorial bunk, but it reduced the expenses 'of running the government la year, $1,600,000,000. All efforts of speed idiots to have collisions with -each other at leading comers, hate failed so far this week. OTHERWISE HE'S ALL RIGHT (Portland Oregonian) ' LOS ANGELES, CM, May 9. Constance Talmadge, motion pic ture actress, filed in the superior " court, today a suit for divorce from radi cals within it. Until organized labor cleans its own houst its essentially righteous cnuse. based upon a square deal for the working man is headed for the rocks This bombing outrage in Chicago may or may not have been the, work of organized labor, until the ease has been tried in the courts, it is only fair for the people as a whole to reserve judgment. But with one recognized labor leader an ex-convict, with two others convicted of participation in highway robbery, and with threats of violence against the Landis award a matter of common knowledge, organized labor hasnly itself to Manic, that public sus picion is aroused against it. 1 The vast majority of the rank and file of organized labor are law ridding and loyal American citizens, lint they have too long, actpii eseod particularly in the large cities, to radical manipulation and control. The time has come, it has been here in fact, for several years, for this decent and fair-minded majority to assert its au thority and elear its ranks of llolshoviks and bomb throwers, putting its ship on an even and self-respecting keel. Ben W. Hooper, chainniyi of the I'nited States railroad labor board gave an address yesterday at Toronto, Canada, before the rail road brotherhood convent ion, which was very much to the point. lie said: "I am increasingly imp-rossoa with the dominant importance of the human clement In all la bo r otmtroversiea. 'There can in- rtnlity be no such thinsr a a conflict between capital and labor. Capital la only the accumulated result of labor The capital of today is the labor of yesterday. There may be a controversy between the man who furnishes the labor of yester day and the man lio contributes the labor of today. This la merely a contest between man and man and not between the laboring mankind some gigantic ogre as the soapbox orator so vigorously proclaims. "As I sit upon the railroad labor board I see before nte men animated by the selfish instincts of human nature. On the one hand are the men who represent the owners of the labor of yes- terday, now typified by dollars, tracknice and general equipment. On the other hand- is the living, pulsating labor of today. They are essential to the efficient operati on of railroads. "The only thing for which we can reasonably hope is that, as the years go by the beneficlent s pirit of Christianity will soften the hearts of men into a finer and deeper sense of brotherhood." This spirit once made the controlling spirit of organized labor, and the controlling spirit of organized capital, as well, and the great dangers now confronting this country socially and industrially will vanish as night vanishes before day. Let organized labor initiate this policy. For the abuses of organ ized labor, and the dangers now confronting it, render its action the more imperative. crease in the city school attciiduiico, has society been uiado any livtler us the result? .

Owing to past unselfish party ser vice. 1 feel iUalU'icd to give a few words of sober advice ami udmonl tion to the republicans of , Jackson county. VVr 140 years the courts of the I'nited States have commanded and retained the respect and obedience of a vast majority of our ciluensltlp. The judicial branch of our govern ment has been subjected to less criti cism. Its decisions more universally sustained ttnd Its operation and pr.f reduce more consistently supported than has that of either the executive or legislative branches.

What I have said Is preliminary to making some comments on our local contest for judge of the circuit court. I have no disposition st this time to criticize the democratic candidate for Judge, because hs has seen fit to take sides In a bitter mid factional controversy. 1 am Inclined to let the democrats take care of their troubles without republican assistance. We have enough of our own. Now speaking only of my own party candidates for J mine. I wish to express my sincere conviction that If these candidates engage or take part In the deplorable contentions that are agitating and distracting this com munity today they wlll advertise themselves as Unfit hold a posi tion on the bench ol this district. Personally I look upon the position of Judge as one of great responsibility and dignity, any of us at any time may be compelled to go Into court to defend our life and reputation or our property, and I im lure we Would want to feel that we s-ijre appearing before a Jud5 who - w oipn -minded. Imporrjul and considerate, and not one who had .1iithe, past de nounced the K. K. or- the K. C.'s or the K. P.'s, or soinje other organi zation that had succeeded In arous ing his hatred and arrimonlty. In my judgment It U a grave mistake to try to force these Judicial candidates Into taking part through the newspapers or otherwise In thts.'ruck of racial, religious and factional animosity. If this course is to be pursued logically some good but fanatical citizen will come out and challenge one or both of our candidates to state whether hey belong to the Knights of Colum bus, or If they have been bound by a secret obligation to give their first allegiance to the pope at Home. To certain republicans who appear to be greatly disturbed over the pres ent situation and who are Insisting hat our candidates take sides In the public press I will say this. that am in the fortunate position of being able to state that neither Mr. New bury, nor Mr. Thomas belong to the K. K. K.'s, the K. C.'s, or any other K. K. K.'s, the K. C.'s or any tlon. If between now and the 19th the republicans of this district Will play the game fair and use reasonable re straint, we will all be In shape to give the successful candidate for Judge In the primary our loyal and undivided support In the following election. T.KflT ANOKKHON. STATE REPRESENTATIVE I hereby announce my candidacy for the republican nomination for repre sentative In the state legislature at the May primary. Adv. - JOHN II. CAuKtN. Fame is transitory, and we may yet see a ball game asterisk and a footnote reading: "Batted for Ruth in the Uth. Few Americans are class conscious, but some of the dolled-up flappers on the street appear distinctly conscious of class.. ; - As a people, we never so fully appreciate our freedom and democ racy as when we read that a millionaire 'e son has been lodged in jail COMMUNICATIONS Regarding Rural Schools To the Editor: So much has been said lately againgt the rural schools and in favor of closing them and trans porting the children to the city schools that I feel that I must say something for the "country bcIkjoI." At first I was In favor of transport ing; "Why yes, it will do away with our petty neighborhood school fusses". give our children an equal chance with the city children, and take so much responsibility from our shoulders; in fact it will be just like having a nurse to mother one's babies instead of do-' ing it ourselves. But when my little girl complained "Mama, please don't send me away to 'town school' where I'll have to be away from you and sinter and brother all day long," I then began to see her side of the situation, and I began to realize how I Bhould have felt if my parents had sent me away and de prived me of the "dear old barefoot school day$." Who among us parents would part with the memories of wading In the 'brook or ditch, romping on the grass I that had no "keep of f" signs infesting it, snaring lizards, picking flowers-and finding blrdnests at recess and noon? Learning nature study as It can be learned only in the country. Our chil dren deserve as good aswe got. A few days ago my little one came in and said, "Mama, I told Sammy Jones I found a dandelion and he said What's a dandelion? Don't he really know? He s been to school." Yes, he has attended several terms, but each in the ity schools. For my part I'd rather my six or even eight year old could discriminate between the songo an oriole and a blackbird, and the ap pearance of dandelion and buttercup (and . I have met high school seniors who could not) than have so much technical knowledge. Every child should have a taste of both rural and city school life and If they don't get the rural training at the tender age when they should be close to us when will they get It? We have to trans port them for high school. So let's im prove our country schools so we may keen them closer to us, closer to Nature and closer to God. The last ten or fifteen years has marked a great decrease in the coun try schools with a corresponding in FITHIAN Will Loyal to tho .
