Then Is no more need for a lengthy
discussion of republican corruption,
as was Indulged in In the 1834 plat

of the shocking facta of prohibition
corruption, hypocrisy and degrada
tion; Everybody knows about both.
There Is no need to decry the prac
tice of polygamy, which, according
to llw prohibition platform of 1M4,
the republican party was winking a
Jaded eye at. There Is no need to
declare in favor of peace on earth,
as did the La Follette platform of
11)24. There Is nothing to be gained
from lengthy dissertations upon
"economy in government" and "or
derly government" as In the republi

Ralph Budd Has the!RightJdea ;
13 ALPH Budd, head of the Great Northern, lirhijx g-;;ue
cheering news to Oregon.
The 'construction of the new line from Bend to San Fran
cinco is far ahend of schedule. Instead of completing the work
involving an expenditure f $15,000,000 next spring, it will
be completed in November, ' '
By Christmas freight trains will he operating, and the fol
lowing spring, there will bo through passenger traffic from
Ht. l'uul to the Golden Gate. Instead of the new terminal at
Bend costing $170,000, it will cost $:J00,'()O0, and instead of
seeing harder times ahead for the Pacific Coast Mr. Budd sees
better times., Coast crops and general conditions look good to
Mr. Budd, after his experience cast of the mountains, where
with excessive drought and lieat, - grasshoppers and wheat
practically the only orop,' general dispair is prevailing.
-
TIIE president of the Great Northern is too busy. to worry
over the fate of the rale increase, and too busy to join the
mourners at the wailing post. There is important work to be
done, and he is doing it. In his opinion too many people can
sec only the hole in the doughnut and are too inclined to jump
into the hole and pull it in after them.
lie calls attention to the fact the banks on the coast are
full of money, the greatest total in savings deposits: in recent
history. The liquidation process which' has been going on
steadily for two years, has touched the bottom, and he believes
the people now realize that exceptional values are obtainable,
and with this cash accumulation they are already starting to
invest and purchase. ' . i' ;
OUCH words of encouragement and optimism, coming from
a man like Ralph Budd are particularly reassuring.
There are two general types abroad at the present time.
On one side the quitters and Ripiawkcrs, who do nothing but
wail and mourn; and on the other the human ostriches, who
with heads buried deeply in the sand, do nothing 'but maintain
blue is green and black is white, and all we need to do to cure
this great calamjty, is to keep saying there isn't ony.
Mr. Budd belongs to neither group. lie is essentially a man
of courage, of vision and of action. lie is too energetic and
aggressive to join the first-group, and he is too clear headed
and realistic to join the second. , .
What he says, therefore, can't be dismissed as only another
twitter from the Pollyanna chorus about "prosperity being
just around the corner." For a year it has been "just around
the comer,'' and as far as a mojority of the people is concerned
it might just as well be in Timbuctoo or at the bottom of the
sea, s ' '. " , ' ,
i
rT,IIE big thing about Mr. Budd is that he backs up his words
with deeds, while some are grousing and others are hitting
the pipe of make-believe, HE IS BUILDING A RAILROAD,
increasing his 'company's investment by spending millions, and
getting ready for the turn of the tide, which he is confident
will come. . ,
It is too bad there are not more men like President Budd,
nnd more railroads like the Great Northern. The spirit he
typifies, is the real spirit of America, the spirit that has proved
time. and again in tWn past. Jluit. Hie more, serious the emergency,'
the more determined are the people of this country, to success
fully meet it. ,'
No Time to Step On It

the boat. It is n time for eool heads, not hot ones; for calm
deliberation and restraint; not for hasty words or impulsive
action.
There are two time-honored American sayings which we
would like to see revived in this community, and every other,
namely :
"Don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes," and
Trust in the Lord and keep your powder dry."
EXCELLENT DOCTRINE 1
'''
WALK up nnd down Main Street, and you can hear all sorts
of wild roiiDi'ls. rumors mill accusations. As remarked
before, the people, all the people, are to a greater or less
extent, in a fighting mood. Gun powtler is strewn all about,
only a verbal spark may bo needed for an explosion. ,
As a result, a heavy obligation rests upon the leaders in this
community, in particular, and upon the rank and file in general.
"Don't shoot until you see the white of their eyes." Don't
take what you hear as fact until investigation and analysis,
PHOVE it.
T11EHE are dangers, no doubt, there are injustices and abuses
and always have been. Hut the way to meet the 'first, ami
the way to eliminate the second is not by wild talk or ill-considered
action, but by first securing all the facts, and then
after careful consideration of every phase of the matter,
DECIDING I'PON THE BEST AND MOST CONSTKB'TiVE
COURSE OK ACTION.
"Whether it is the county health unit, or local labor or some
thing else, only harm can result from adopting the slogan of
the old-fashioned Rpeed cop "SHOOTING FHST AND IN
VESTIGATING AFTERWARD."
Investigate first, and nine times out of ten D!0 times out
of n 1000 no SHOOTING WILL BE NECESSARY.
A statesman is a man who does foolish things to hold his
job so he can do a few wise things. n,
. , Americanism! Clamoring for state rights, yelling for the
government to lend a hand.
No t-ause is stronger than the truth in its propoganda.

HAVE YOU A LITTLE PEPTIC VLCKR IX YOt'K FAMILY?
In e talk about diet and peptic
ulcer the other day I explained why
I do not peddle, sell or give away
, ' diet lists for thU or
any other disease. It
costs, say, three or
four centa a copy to
get out such printed
stuff, and even If I
can wangle a . nickel
per copy out of our
gullible readers for
the mercb andlse,
there's no fun In It,
because all the time
I feel pretty .darn
certain that the In
formation Is not worth the hard bit
ten nickel, after all. I mean that.
No fooling. I don't think any diet
list that was ever printed-Is worth
two cents of any patient's money.
HoT.xver, this la a funny world. It
Isn't what I think. It Is what our
readers think they want.
Now for well folk, a diet list may
be well worth a dime. For well folk
who are condemned to live with an
Invalid who Is off his feed, a diet list
Is sometimes priceless. I have one
for 'em, and It Is priceless that Is,
I am happy to send It to any reader
who asks for It and Incloses with
his request a stamped envelope bear
ing his address. It is a Menu for
People Who Have to Live With a
Peptic Ulcer Patient, and It Is com
plete for three meals a day for a full
week, with two, three or four Items
in each, meal irfarked with a little
star which Indicates that the patient
may share such items.
On the reverse side of this printed
menu I have Included, at no extra
charge but purely out of the goodness
of my heart, no boloney, but a com
plete menu of six meals a day for
the first week's tfeatment of an am
bulatory case of peptic ulcer. There
It is, take It or leave . It. You see
my game? Why, It Is very simple. If
the patient decides to go on the diet
for a week, what's he going to do
when the first week is up? He's
going to come to me, and I'm going
to - remark coldly that the second
week's menu and treatment will set
him back, say. 10 bucks. If he bites,
all I have to do Is slip him a second
prlntod diet slip and pocket the
dough and wait calmly for the third
week to roll around. It Is one fine
little business, I tell you.
Now If any reader wants to play.

exposition of the game, let him. Only

.. . QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What's the Mutter With Orion?
What do you mean Orion? Pre
sume you refer to Ursa Minor (Little
Bear). Don't see bow you can pin
this one on the printer! Better visit
the Adier Planetarium In Chicago.
Nemo.
Answer. If Orion is not on display
at the Planetarium I don't care to
visit the exhibit. Little Bear noth
ing. I mean Orion. Sight along
Orion's left knee and right shoulder
and you'll always hit the North Star.
Of course lr you're dlorlented ' and
can't find Orion you're out of luck,
unless you can find the pointers in
the Great Bear or Big Dipper. I can't
savvy the bears, but the dippers are
almost as familiar as Orion.
Eur Crackles.
My left ear crackles when I bend
It back or when I lie on It, also when
some onlse commences it quivers In
side the ear. - Is this caused by too
much swimming? . Swimming Is my
only sport. I hate t!o give It up.
II. L.
Answer It is quite likely due to a
mass of hardened ear wax plugging
the outer ear canal. The best way
to remove such accumulations is by
means of tbe fountain syringe. Hang
the reservoir not more than two feet
above the level of ear. Fill reservoir
with a quart or two of lukewarm
water containing a tablespoonful of
saleratus to the pint. Use a simple
straight blunt nozzle or none at all.
Just the hose, and direct the stream
Into the ear canal but do not touch
the ear with the tip of nozzle or
hose. While thus Irrigating hold the
ear upward and backward to straight
en out the canal. Let the water run
out into a basin. This irrigation
may require repetition for several
successive days but It Is safe and
usually effective. Never Insert any
thing in the ear canal. Leave that
for .the doctor, If It should seem
necessary.

. TRADE WINDS.
By Mary (Irahain Homier.
Peggy and John were very much
pleased that they had learned a new
word, and afterward when either ol
them acted in a
dull, gloomy
fashion the other
would say:
"You're In the
doldrums."
And how well
they remembered
that as they had
sailed away In
the vessel with
the Little Black
Clock and the
captain .and. his
men that thl
part of the ocean
had been pointed out to them which
they had avoided the part where
the winds did not blow and where
vessels were becalmed. .
And the Little Black Clock had
explained to them how . the shape
of this part of the ocean kept the
winds out.
Once again the Little Black Clock
had turned the time back, and they
were on an old sailing vessel but s
different one.
I had to turn the time bark a
good distance." the Little Black
Clock said, "so you could appreciate
the trade winds which are helping
this boat we are on Just as they
helped the last boat upon which we
traveled.
"In our day. with modern ma
chinery, they are not of much value,
but In the olden . days they meant
everything to sailing vessels: .
Trade winds blow In a certain
direction, north and south of the
equator and help ships traveling
west as we are doing. If I turned
the time further back we could
hear, how some of the earlier sailors
regarded these trade winds."
"Oh. let's do that." urged John.
"Shall I?" Inquired the Little
Black Clock, and he used his magic
to turn It back still further for
their next adventure, for they were
on a boat that looked more old- j
fashioned than the one before.
