Between now anil the end of the World next Friday, many candidates will endeavor to get out in th oien, without coming out in the open. j Rudolph Valentino, movie star, over whose classic features a billion hg. gals have felt their hearts flutter, is entangled with a new scandal, and the best he could do was to make a big amist out of himself. Prognosticators of the election have commenced to talk about the "silent Tote," and some of the ignorant classes would like to know where he is. I A bill ought to be introduced at the next session of the legislature instal ling filing booths in auto camps, so tourists could avail themselves of the Oregon System without losing any time.

Now is the time for all citizens to read "Old World Hatreds" by Ivan Strunk, there being none of the same in this country. The book is good read ing, and shows the delightful effects attained from indulging in a little off hand hate every day, and twice on tbe Sabbath, "NOTICE. FARMERS USE POISON NOW" (Hdline Pendleton Oregonian) And don't think you can get by with a shot of moonshine. A former resident of the vallev showed up Mon. looking like he had seen Peggy Joyce, the world's greatest vampire. A HE-FLAPPER GUSHES .

Ameri ca's foreign trade slumped in April after it recent advances according to reports Issued today by tho com morco department. , Exports for the month aggregated $321,000,000 com pared with $330,000,000 in March and imports - totalled 1217,000,000 against $256,000,001 the previous month.

First it wns Wmn ami Mary llu'ii Fatty Arbuekle, thru the Tnylor tntjjetly tuul now Kutlolphio Valentino eliallensjes tin- tomler moral sensibilities of the movie puMie. What is the matter with these movie stars? Prosperity seems to go nt oneo to their pretty heads. Certainly Kutlolphio xliouM have known better, lie has played the romantic hero lonjr enough to know that no twiee-marrietl man is a hero to the feminine public. Look nt Fatty Arbnekle. His comic days arc over, ami the $-0,000 Fierce is now being driven by ti federal prohibition npont. MuM Xortnand is watchfully wniting somewhere in Honolulu. Pour mid Mary arc happy, but inconspicuous. Kutlolphio must be deficient in pray matter, with all these horrible examples before him. ' And yet Will Hays can't bar nil the movie stars or who will sign that $100,000 pay check at the end of the year! It's a perplexitii: situation. very. Far more taxing than trying to keep the (i. O. 1 together. Keturn to polities Will-yuin. For in politites a man can commit any crime, bo guilty of any indiscretion, descend to any depth of moral degredation, and if he is clever, get away with it. There is no censorious public in politics to withhold their dimes ami nickels. They will all go to the polls and vote for the biggest bounder, provided he lias sufficiently stirred up the primitive human hatreds and passions. Some chance for liberal minded meu there. None whatever in the Puritan atmosphere of the silver sheet. I Jo back to polities Will. Quill . Apparently the Irish will never fight to a finish. A philosopher is one who has who are well are well off. Well, why shouldn't a man give his wife an allowance f Heaven knows she makes allowances for him. Life is a funny proposition, ami about the only women who can't afford a maid arc those who need otic. We're at a loss to understand how anything so practical and sen sible as radio ever became a popular fad. Very likely the photographer gets the joyous smile on Taft's face by reminding him that he isn't president now. This put-and-take craze is beginning to affect the collection plate. Too many put a nickel and take a quarter. Well, if the public should keep up the highways for freight-carry-iug trucks, w hy shouldn't 'it keep up the railways? After government devises a way to control sound waveV, it may feel -encouraged to take, a little interest iti crime waves., If it's hard for a rick man to are pretty good evangelists. We can understand almost everything except the argument that world conditions should make a tl"i apartment rent for $il) the month. Finding a man big enough for the job is merely a matter of plac ing a mere mortal in charge and letting responsibility do the rest. HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW? 1. How many counties does Now Vork cover? 2.

It is that of constitutional government versus invisible government. The, appeal to intolerance, to racial prejudice and religious bigotry has sidetracked all other issues. No other issue can receive consideration until it has been decided whether we are to ingRhufnes .iia a J hjt Mctfon SSL. V aT A have government in the oi'n or behind cloned tliKirs. The republican giiboi nalorltil con test has narrowed down u a struggle bi'tw (sun the standard-hearers of those! two Ideas-Hen piiott ior count llut Ion I til government ami Charles Hall fnrj tnviHtlilo government through secret societies and the Ku Kln Kliin. Other candidates have their uuorganlicd per sonal follow hiK, but mine great enough to figure In the finals. The Iksiio of Invisible government has split the republican parly Into two cam 's. The cleavage runs through tbe entire ticket. Ru Klux leadership has endorsed a complete slate begin ning with Hall for governor, Klthlan for coiinulttecnian, Hoff for treasurer, down to the legislative candidate, and counting on success nt the (Kills Is1 insolently organlxlUK the next legisla ture behind closed tloois. Those who believe In having a gov ernor uiitritiiuneleil by secret pledge or by fealty to an "enisror" of an "Invisible empire," nu executive who will preserve the popular freedom guaranteed In tho constitution, who opposes u relapse to medieval Intoler ance that can only end in group antag onism and discord, who want govern ment in the open sight of all in the oten light of day, will vote for Hen Oleott. Those who believe In invisible gov ernment, in having a governor who i follows dictates mid obeys edicts Is- sued secretly by unknown person be hind closed door, who would revive a secret tribunal like the Vehnigerlcht of ancient derniany, or the Caumrra of modern Italy, to puss Judgment upon offenders, substituting mob violence and trial by ordeal of hanging and torture for constituted authority and law, who would make race a test of citizenship and religion a test of patriotism, should vote for ('buries Hall. t'ntll this Issue Is settled, and set tled right, by the triumph of constitu tionalism, all political and economic issues will remain in the background. Then wo can got back to real Amer icanism, based Uon love of cAnflry and its Institutions, ixn sympathy, mutual respect and toleration on the part of the people.
