be approached and kept in a spirit of
thankfulness to Almighty God, “the
author and finisher of our faith.”
As the children of the divine Father,
humanity owes more than it can ever
repay. The individual unit of human
ity who does not realize this in his
heart, comes far short of his greatest
obligation to God, society and the fu
ture generations.

--------------------- ..
There is a strong feeling that Jap
anese should not be allowed to get
control of large tracts of Oregon agri
cultural land, and thus in time mono
polize farming and horticulture, and
other branches of production. While
there is danger of such a monopoly of
our land by the orientals, there is an
other danger that faces our very
coast, It may sweep our shores in
fact, It may come right up to our
beach resorts and monopolize and
permeate the water that makes our
summer resorts so attractive to the
tourist and the heat fagged denizens
of our big cities. While the Japan
coole invasion has not yet assumed
alarming proportions, yet it is a fu
ture peril. But this other oriental
danger is very close to us. It is not
more than twenty to thirty miles
away, and of course, there is a possi
bility that it may even come closer to
us. It is the Japanese current.
Uncle sam is the most generous
man in the world. In 1922 we sent
four hundred million dollars to
Europe through our foreign citizens
to their friends and relatives. The
United States is supporting million*-
of Europe’s paupers through its ad
opted foreign citizenship. We are the
dumping ground for the undesirable
population of Europe. The right class
of immigrants are welcome, but the
class of ignorant foreigners who come
here merely to make money and send
it back to European homes, and then
finally leave us for good, after having
made their fortunes, are not wanted.
We want foreigners who will become
bona fide residents and citizens, and
who will hold their allegiance first
and last to this government. More
over, we want immigrants who will
spend their money in the country that
gives them opportunity and protect
ion, and if any of them should prove
not to be good citizens in the above
respects, they should be deported to
stay.
A southwester, one that blew “like
sixty,” and which was accompanied
by a torrential downpour, began last
Friday. The weather clerk says we
are short on rainfall up to this time,
and evidently Jupiter Pluviua, the
sly old man who roosts somewhere
in the zodiacal sign of Aquarius, over
heard the forecaster of weather send
ing out his daily wireless report, and
immediately got busy. The shortage
in rainfall will decrease from now on.
Jupe’s on the job.
Next year the nation will be boiling
in the thoes of another presidential
campaign. There is talk of a third
party; in fact one has been launched
or will be soon. It will be a protest
if nothing more. The great trouble
is the multitude of candidates. No
sooner do we get an able and disin
terested leader than he immediately
becomes infected with a desire to be
the chief executive of the nation, and
in his ambition for the presidency,
forgets that principles of right gov
ernment, and not individual perefer-
ence, is what is needed. But the dis
interested patriot is a rare bird. The
desire for money and fame outweigh
every other consideration of duty, and
great men rise, and then fall like nine
pins in a bowling alley. It will take
many generations to develop a race
of patriots who will regard the uni
versal welfare as greater than that of
any individual unit in a nation. One
thing is evident.
The intelligent
masses are coming to see through the
bunk of old line politics; and the ba
zoo of the spellbinder politician that
used to mellow the hearts of the rab-
bid party voter, no longer enthuses.
The people are thinking for them
selves. The tootle of tariff, the shib
boleth of free trade, no longer gain
more than yawn of doubtful amuse
ment from the voter. Party plat
forms that want to “do something for
the farmer,” or that coddle “the lab
oring man,” are now looked upon as
so much flapdoodle, written by those
who believe if they pay the campaign
expenses of the party that they ought
to be allowed to dictate the policy of
the administration, and the interests
of the farmer and the laboring man.
somehow get lost in the shuffle, after
the election.
What the people now want is a
return to the principles of the consti
tution and honest government for the
whole people. We have drifted far
from the old moorings of our Ameri
can forefathers, and are out upon a
sea of uncertainty with no harbor
lights in sight. A horde of adopted
European specialists want to steer
the old craft into strange and un
chartered waters. True Americans
want safe hands at the wheel, who
can put the old ship about. The in
novations of the peole from bar
baric, and ignorant countries are not
welcome. We want no departure
from the constitution. Our party pol
iticians, looking mainly for the spoils
of office, have played too much to the
un-American and foreign element in
politics, and have well nigh sold the
birthright of the nation for the votes
of a class who have no interest in the
real progress of the country. It is to
get the administration out of the
hands of the selfish politicians, and
the would-be destroyers of our dem-
| ocracy, that now seems to be the chief
aim of all true Americans. Let the
good work go on. Either it must go
on, and get the ship of state back to
safe moorings, or the vandal horde
who would destroy our cherished in
stitutions, will crush out the life of
the republic. “Let none but Ameri
cans be placed on guard.”
FRANK OWENS HURT IN WRECK
Frank Owens, a member of the
county tax supervising committee,
was riding to Portland one day last
week and when at the Rex hill, the
driver of the big truck put on the
brakes too quick, with the result that
the truck turned around and landed
on its side against the highway bank,
and a piece of the glass from tha
windshield entered Mr. Owen’s left
arm, indicting a wound that probably
will cause him trouble for some time
to come. The tendons were lacerated
and the nerves of the arm injured
Mr. Owens thinks he was lucky to get
off as easily as he did. A slippery
pavment contributed to the accident.

New Hupmobile Storm Curtains
Provide Closed Car Comfort Instantly
All the genuine comfort of a closed car is now
enjoyed by owners of the new series Hupmobile
open models as a result of ingenious storm cur
tains, embodying new and greatly improved
principles of design.
The uniqueness of these curtains lies in the fact
that they are metal-framed — always flat and
always taut. A snugness of fit is secured which,
in the bleakest weather, guarantees all the cosy
comfort of a closed job.
Even when not in use they remain flat. A
special envelope compartment is provided at
toe rear of the front seat where they are quickly
«
and easily stowed away or ta<en o-. *v> net- -i.
This prevents the lights b coming scratched
or cracked, preserving clear vision r'*A.-.yi.
But -vhat most intrigues th - motorist's . u y
is that they can be set up with surprising
quickness and icithn'tf any occupant leaving the car
Truly they are an innovation—accomplishing
absolute protection, retaining clear vision, and
at the same time possessing a trimness which
is. decidedly, a pleasant contrast to the usual
conception of curtain equipped open cars. Ask
to see these new curtains when you come in.
