The United Press' leafed wire report was al f its flntinuated rival and its news Droved far more reliable in all respects. The crowds thronging! ..... 1 1 the bulletin boards eager lor election news soon learneu that the Capital Journal was the only dependable source of such news in town because its reports were always grudgingly confirmed by rival newspapers in due course of time. . ' . It is probable that no great news gathering organiza tion was ever before so completely equipped to gather and tabulate election returns as was the United Press on this occasion, and the Capital Journal had its full leased wire service without a break both day and night. . More than this' the Capital Journal never allows partisanship to color i,ts."news reports in any respects and accordingly everything that came over the wire was given to the public for what it was worth. Other papers may have doctored their reports to suit their political pre judicesbut the Capital Journal never has descended to anything of this kind and never will. The news is al ways given as it is, and its political opinions are con fined exclusively to its editorial page. TVu f!snihil Journal's election bulletin and minted news were recognized as best of all because they werei absolutely straight, and were aneaa 01 any competitor in reaching the public. Many appreciated compliments upon our election service have been received. ; THE WEST IS IN THE SADDLE . If a few days ago Samuel G.'Blythe, who is one of the keenest political observers of the present day, said in an article in the Saturday Evening Post: "A president could be elected without New York, but he wouldn't be." It would awear that Mr. Blythe for once was mistaken. As Svild and improbable as it seems after so long accepting it as tne law mat without New York no party could win, this is what has.happened. To paraphrase Byron: "The brokers of Wall Street are loud in their wail, and the idols are broke in the temple of Baal." New York with the utmost self complacency had ac cepted herself at the valuation the balance of the coun try had placed on her and considered herself indispensible to success of any party. For this reason when the result in New York was known, congratulations began to pour in upon Mr. Hughes, and he, as well as most of the politicians considered his election a thing assured. They had not realized that the West had come of age, was a legal voter, and was to be reckoned as a big factor. East of the Mississippi river and north of the Ohio there was but one state that did not stay in the republican ranks, and that was Ohio with its 24 electoral votes, and possibly New Hampshire with its four. West of the Mississippi there are 22 states with a total of 175 elec toral votes. Of these, three are strictly of what is known as the solid south, while Oklahoma may be classed with them. These have a total of G7 electoral votes. Outside of these there are IS states with a total of 108 votes and of these but three are certainly republican, the balance with the possible exception of Minnesota and New Mexico were all in direct opposition to the east in their ideas as to the man who should be president. The three have 2:1 electoral votes. Of these only Oregon and Iowa gave enough majority to classify them as being with the East in their political beliefs, for the others are so close as to make them a draw. Without these two strongly republican states with their 2:1 votes, there are 83 elec toral votes against the East. Adding Oklahoma there are 95 votes west of the Mississippi not counting the southern states in that section that are so arrayed. These are the votes that made possible the victory in spite of New York and the pivotal states, so called, of Indiana and Illinois which combined have a total of 89 votes in the electoral college. ' It woiild seem from this that New York's teeth have been pulled and the pivots of the great "pivoters" broken. The West has come into its own politically, and has given notice that hereafter it must be reckoned with.

It is a source of much gratification to the democrats that President Wilson has been re-elected without the aid of New York and especially without that of. Tammany, which for some reason bast known to it, turned its party down. It is notice to the world that Wall street is not America " and that the most of the United States lies outside of the state of New York. It is a notice to other nations that, the frenzied money grabbers of Wall street do not represent the spirit and beliefs of the United States. The real America lies west of the Mississippi, the land of broad prairies and towering mountains and fer tile valleys--and land peopled by real Americans. No mat ter what land across the ocean their people or their fore fathers may have come thehave breathed the free air of plain and mountain and are Americans, proud of their country and wedded to its institutions. The hyphenated citizens are a hopeksminority they thrive only in the crowded cities of the East which is the dumping place for constantly' arriving streams of heterogeneous immi gration from every part of the globe. These people never move into the West the real America until they have gradually imbibed some of the spirit of American life and freedom and once, in the West they are rapidly trans formed into Americans. The"1 native born American of the East is narrow, provincial, untravelled he votes his prejudices and is ruled by convictions based on a nar row, biased judgment. The Westerners liked President Wilson because he is a typical American president and they voted for him with a unnanimity without parallel in the history of the nation. Apparently the belligerents over in Europe have taken a few days off to watch the bill-boards concerning the American election, for there has been little or no fighting since Tuesday morning. Perhaps now that it is all over we can again get interested in what is going on at some of the many fronts, and go to deciphering the construc tion of the names of some of the towns with the hope of sometime discovering the correct answer. With 175 electoral votes, what is the matter with the West having a place on the national ticket in 1920? Most of the western states are small in the way of electoral votes, but they have a way of standing together, and 175 is sure some votes when the total is only 5:11, for it is practically one-third of the whole, and it is four times as much as New York can show. The stock market was strong in Wall street today, and wheat went up four cents a bushel in Chicago. The presidential election this year failed to- disturb the business or financial system of the country, a fact due mainly to the solid basis upon which the administration of President Wilson had placed it. As the Capital Journal predicted Tuesday the Ele phant that usually disports his rotund form' in the Ore gonian cartoons had a rather woebegone look after the election news of the day had been received at his camp. The returns Thursday, evidently had a fatal result, for the old packyderm has disappeared. . , The returns from California evidently did not reach the college at St. Ignatius, Cleveland, Ohio; -until this morning. The seismograph there recorded an earth quake somewhere in North America. , ; ' Wall street brokers gambled on the election placing its bets at two to one on Hughes. Since it has heard from Vox Populi, it has discovered it had its ear fo the street rather than to the ground. i -: , v -" It was a rather strange figure that little "1.1" proved to be in the campaign. Candidate Hughes drew and voted ballot numbered "13" and President Wilson got the needed "13" votes from California. . Ripplih - p wen THE GRUNTER If you're complaining of your task, and sighing as you labor, I greatly fear you'll never bask in Easy street, my neighbor. The world is seeking willine hands to keep its pulleys turning; it will pass up the gent who stands, for soft employment yearning. The man who drops away behind, who can not make the rifle, keeps talking of the dreary grind, The man who gaily does his . work, pre tending to enjoy it, who, be his tool a spade or dirk, will cheerfully emnlov it. who. though he may be feeling deau, will never make conies' sion, is he who marches at the head of industry's Droces sion. The man who grunts tain pen or hammer, who never smiles and never sings, or makes a cheer! ul clamor, who until he sees his wages, will dump, and there he 11 stay for jRhijTtio ngon v and all that sort of piffle. whene'er he swings his foun never will consent to hump land some morning at the ages.

Tho thought that Clifford had deliberately- lied to me hurt me cruelly. Why had he done it? Had he been somewhere he was ashamed to have me know, or what was it? When I reached the dining room I looked all around for him before I took a table near the one I had occupied the night before. I ordered coffee and rolls, then asked the waiter to get nri morning paper. I held the paper before me while I sipped iny coffee, so was unaware of the personality of anyone near me. My sstouishineut can be imagined when a folded slip of paper Yell between my paper and me. I looked up just ia time to fee. the broad back of a tall, well formed majt walking toward the door. When he reached it he turned and de liberately" bowed to me, then passed out- V I turned the paper over several times before I opeued it, wondering what it could be; what a stranger could have to say to me. and why he should choose such a way to say it. I looked around to see if I was observed, then careful ly, shielded "by my paper, opened the note.- A Note From a Stranger. "My dear young lady," it com menced, "you are altogether too charm ing to be neglected aud alone.

RECEIVES VEESWELL HOPS C. L. Fitrhard, a prominent figure in tne hop-buying world, was in the city yesterdny fronr Independence. While here he made a trip to CresweU and re ceived 353 bales of the R. O. Brady crop of hops which he contracted for early in the season at from 10 cents for the poorer quality to 12 1-2 cents for the very best, but the average price will be about 11 1-2 cents, he said. Mr. Fitchard said that there is very little movement in the hop market and the price is correspondingly low. The growers, he said, are becoming discour aged at the continued low price aud he looks for a decrease in the aereago next year. Eugene Begister.

I tried to attract your attention, but you were evidently too absorbed to no tice. I shall wait in the lobby until you come out. If you will bow to me, I will know I haven't offended, ana will join you." . . ' t ' I was stupefied. That a perfect stranger should dare to address a note to me, and such a note. Why he had almost taken it fpr granted that I would reply to hint in some way. He had thought me neglected, too. Well ia that he was Tight. I WAS neglected, and worse. Bui what should I dot "Is there, another entrance to the dining room?" I asked my waiter alter I had finished my coffee. - "Yes, Misa, if you don't mind going through the writing-room," and he pointed the way. I lingered a moment longer, then went out the way he had told me. The writing-room was nearly empty at that hour, and I slipped through and around to the elevators without attracting notice. WhenI reached the safety of my room I smiled to think how easily I had evad ed my quondam admirer. To Tell or Not to TU. Should I keep the note and show, it to Clifford, and explain how I received it ? For an hour I debated the question, then decided in view of his actions to keep it to myself. If I told him, I was sure he would consider me ia some wav , to blame; although I knew I hadone Wtav. 8 THE loo i; I tMbhttloi cf toll , V Ikxii un) putt.
