Equally strange things have happened. If Pierce is a candidate, no matter which office he may se lect, the election will demonstrate whether the people will disregard facts and listen to a crepe-hanger who has a way of making people believe he is the Moses who will lead them to the promised land, and this, in spite of the fact that he has done precious little leading since he had the opportunity and the only explanation he has is an at tempt to pass the buck. But nevertheless he has had a busy three years and has wept with a lot of people, and we have a hunch that were the election to be held this month he might surprise a lot of us. But what will happen in Novem ber is another thing. Choosing a senator or governor is a rather serious matter, for states are judged by both, and it very necessary for Oregon, if it wants to go forward, to put its best foot to the front. In the interval the people will have an opportunity to decide if Pierce as Pierce and Pierce with the halo he has placed about himself are the same individuals and they rray also study his administra tion and its sins of ommission and commission. Perhaps they will do so and perhaps tears will be more potent than facts. But we shall see what we shall see.—Hillsboro Independent. ---------o-------- running today from 24 to 32 The enlargement is not pri marily due to the use of more news, though the space given to reading matter has increased The big share of the increase is due ti advertising » It is interesting also to see how many concerns and in terests there are that are taking big ads of a half page or full page, or two pages. The fact that so many concerns are willing to put up the money for this big display shows how thoroughly standardized advertising has become, and how much it is depended upon for results by those who use it persistently and with judgment. Fortunes are being made every day through advertising, and by this means a multitude of business men are rising out of small and inferior positions into leadership in the business com munity.—Longview Daily News -------- o--------- ♦ HIGH FINANCE IN FLORIDA A KANSAS man and his wife, who had motored to Florida, applied at a hotel for lodging. The rate was $10 a night for a room provided it was vacated by 6:00 a. m., otherwise it was $15 as rooms are rented to day as well as to night lodgers. The Kansans took the room and paid $2.50 to park their car in the alley. Leaving at 6 sharp next morning they found three men asleep in their car for which the men had paid the hotel $3 apiece for the privilege. Real estaters aren’t making all the money down there.

The governor says he has' always intended to run for governor and United States1 senator but cannot make up his mind which to tackle this year. But the governor is wrong in saying that political affiliations have a bearing this year.

In the case of Governor Pierce, he will have! served nearly an entire term when the election is held, and can be judged by his record.
