With devilish t-erslsteney, the
Oregonlnn pursues Wenator George
Joseph' with the-hlighting curs of
Its malevolent adulation. Having
contributed so greatly to his no
table success at the primaries by
rancorous defamation, it seems de
termined to beat him at the elec
tion by Its no less effective ful
some flattery. Yesterday, he was a
monster, to be slain by the ballots
or a free nnd enlightened people;
today, he Is presented to our
nmased and nwe-stiuck guze as a
political angel temporarily glad
denlng the earth to prove to us the
charms of democracy and give- us
some first-hand experience In thoi
blessings of good government. Who-;
ther or not tho Oregonlan can de-:
stroy with the manifestations of lU
gross affection tho man It P"
splendidly aided with Its exhibition
of hitter hatred, remains to be
seen. But The Spootator gives woi
to the most dlsmnl forebodings for
Senator Joseph. The Oregonlan's
caresses have ever been ns deadly
ns wero the embraces of that lethal
Instrument which aforetime bore
the name of "the maiden."
In Its self-prepared and exploit
ed publicity, tho Oregoninn tells
us of "a AiiHtnincd leadership that
Inspires confidence." As ft fine nnd
recent example of this sustained
leadership we- hnvo the humiliat
ing defeat of Its candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination; nnd As
an evidence of the confidence it
Inspires we are more than likely to
see- Senntor Joseph's 100 to 1
chance of election blighted and de
stroyed by Ur corroding support.

Who's Wet in Oregon
In prohibition- arguments, Ihe statement Is often heard Ihat the:
country dlstricts and the small towns and cities nre dry ami Ihe his
cities are wet. Figures on the Literary Digest poll for various Oregon
cities seem to sustain this conclusion, In the main. Here they are:

Portland gave more votes for repeal than for enforcement and the ;
heaviest vote of all for modification, whatever might lie entailed Ity I
that. Portland was joined by Astoria, the fishing town, Baker, the -mining
town, Bend, the Itiniher mill town,. Nearly all the other Oregon
cities showed a heavy preponderance fur enforcement, even Salem, '
where one of the leading newspapers Is violently "wet." It Is quite likely j
the statistics from other states would reveal similar divisions of I
thought. :
Prohibition would seem to be right closely associated with populn- i
tlon problems. Where the population Is largely "Industrial" eosmo-1
polltnn, the dissatisfaction with prohibition is greatest. Prohibition
as n moral conception goes back nearly a hundred years Into American
history. Prohibition is not such a difficult problem among those whose
traditions embrace a prohibition movement.

manager In either circuit will want
to retain Khmke, of whom Connie
Mack said only last year, "I don't

There is something ruthless
about the way the major leagu-'s

have outlived their usefulness. The
waiver system makes the judgment
of their own manager so painfully
unanimous, as each of the other 15
