Comment
on the.
Day's Nezvs
By FRANK JENKINS
Congressman Hawiey. apparent-
ly, haa been defeated, although
the unofficial figures are ao clooe
that they might b upset by errors.
That, however, la Improbable.
It may be aafely assumed that Mr.
Hawley'a long political career In con
gress haa coma to Its close.
IT has been said frequently that,
bis part In locating tha soldiers'
home at Roaeburg was the chief
cause of hla defeat. .
Thla writer doesn't belleva that.
Mr. Hawley'a part In the location of
the aoldlera' home was ao outstand
ingly honorable apd straightforward
and fair that In this writer's Judg
ment It WON him support Instead
of losing It.
HE gave his word to Roseburg at
a time when Roseburg had been
endorsed by every other city In the
atats. Having given hla word, he
KEPT IT. In the face of severe pres
aure to do otherwise, Thla writer
refuses to believe that honorably
keeping one'a pledged word will ever
loae anybody votes In Oregon.
HAWLEY la a Hoover man, and
although thla writer believes In
Hoover and expects to vote for him,
It la undoubtedly true that Hoover
la not popular. Being a friend of
Hoover does no candidate any good
thla year.
Hawiey waa one of the authors of
the Hawley-Smoot tariff law, and
tariff laws are popular In these daya
only among those who get direct
protection from them.
THEN- Hawiey 'is' a sincere dry.
running against an open wet,
and In this particular year there Is
an unmistakably strong reaction
against flat-footedly dry candidates
especially In the Willamette val
ley, where the hop crop waa once
tremendously Important, and where
they have an Idea that It will become
Important again If eomethlng hap
pens to prohibition.
That had a lot to do with the
result.
IN Hawiey, Oregon loses a big man,
a powerful man a man capable
of getting more for Oregon In one
term of congress than hla successful
opponent can get In the next ten
years. "
But such la politics. Two thous
and years ago, you know, the Qreeka
banished Arlstldes because, they said,
they were "so tired of hearing him
called The Just."
Hawiey has represented the first
district of Oregon for more then 30
yesrs, and represented It ably
Twenty yeara la a long span, and
voters in his district were getting
tired of hearing him referred to as
a big man Just as the Oreeks of
20 centuries ago were tired of hear
ing Arlstidea referred to as "The
Just."
IN this tame Oregon primary, more
votes were cast for Frsnce, of
Maryland, whose name was formally
printed on the ballot, than for Hoo-
ver, whose name had to be WRIT
TEN IN.
Washington political observers In
terpret this as a slap at the presi
dent.
THIS writer, who may be wrong,
doesn't think so.
The fact that so very, very many
people took tha trouble to, WRITE
IN the name of Hoover on the bal
lot, Instead of merely marking a
cross In front of the name of France,
which was the only ntma printed
on the ballot, would seem to Indicate
to thla writer that there la a LOT of
genuine belief In Hoover In Oregon.
BUT enough of polltlca.
Probably you noticed In the pa
pers ihe other dsy thst a woman In
Europe who poisoned her Incurably
sick mother In order to put her out
of her misery was NOT ACQUITTED
of the chsree of murder, but In
stead was convicted in a minor de
gree and given a moderate sentence.
WHAT would YOU hate dona If
you .had been on that Jury?
You may answer thst you would
have voted for acquittal, on the
theory that It was an act of mercy
lo put an Incurably sick woman out
of her misery.

BEVKRLY HILLS, Cal., May
25 The wholo country, includ
ing Nicholas Murray Butler,
been knocking the senate ao
much lately till they just had a
session yesterday and held
clinic over their own body, and
do you know, they couldn't find
a thing wrong with themselves.
Both parties jimt spent th
session scratching each other's
back and us paying for the
manicure. But give the devil
his due, they have their
troubles. Every time they went
to tax something a voter would
rise up and say, "yeah."
It's been a tough year to be
a senator. It's been a tough,
year to be anything. Even Ca
pone had a tough year. So
what can you expect from other
industries.
