LOFTY WORK.

Los Angeles is known as the home
of the enterprising real estate agent
and probably no feat perormed else
where in the line of selling lots has
been equaled by the exploit of one of
these Angelenos. He had almost con-
vinced a prospective customer of the
merits of a certain out-of-town lot,
but the prospect demurred at signing
a contract without seeing the property
says a writer in February Technical
World Magazine.
1t was little too late in the after
noon to go out, and besides the COM
pany's automobile was in use, but It
would never do to let the customer
get away, as he might change his
mind or see some other agent.
The salesman had a big idea. A
captive balloon makes frequent as
cents from lot just a few blocks
from the office, rising to the end Of
n thousand foot cable and carrying
passengers at $1.00 a trip.
With a little urging the customer
was induced to take the aerial jour-
ney, and from that altitude the agent
pointed out the suburban lot, show
ing its exact location and the charac-
ter of the surrounding property quite
as clearly as II they were actually on
the ground. A

COMEDY OF COLORS.

1t really is amusing
The tricks that colors play,
For names we use so often
Don't mean just what they say.
Now there is Mr.. White, you'd think
The fairest of all shades,
But no, he Is not white at all,
He's black as ACE of spades"
And there Is Mr.. Brue, All me,
With hair as red as brick,
And Mr.. Black so pale you'd think
He surely had been sick.
And Mr.. Green, a fine brunette.
With beard as black as coal;
Mr.. Orange is a lovely tan,
And Lavender is gold.

And Mr.. Lemon, mercy me.
Is white as any snow,

Give us something nature gave US,

And I'm tired of lavish comforts for

a Worldly world must laud.

Where trees and birds and verdant

Gods great hand Is seen,"
Where his locing proclamations are

Giving rest from worldly labors and

give me natures sheen.
Where God Is the great architect and
his loving hand is seen.

S~"ONN&~

For many months the people of
Oregon have listened to bitter COM
plants because of
Can They Afford errors in the re-
Such War? clamation policy
Time and again
it has been charged that the work
that has been done, governmental
Carey act and private, has not meant
what it should to settlers. 1t has been
a feast for promoters and spectators
and the settler has paid the price
though he gets but a glance at the
pudding
At the irrigation congress just
held in Portland every other word
that was uttered was in denunciation
of promoters and spectators. One
man from Crook county sobbed as he
stood before the meeting and told Of
the hardships endured on the project
where he resides. 1t was the con-
census of opinion at the convention,
if the press reports were accurate,
that henceforth reclamation work in
Oregon should be on a basis of set
tlement and not speculation. In that
view the irrigation convention was
upheld by the press of the state and
by the people at large.
Then why is it there is a war to the
knife between the legislature and the
governor merely because Governor
West insists on putting this policy in
10 practice with reference to Warner
Lake? AS the East Oregonian under
stands the subject the governors on
ly offense lies in insistence that If
those swamps are reclaimed the
work shall be done in behalf of actual
settlers or for the school fund. not to
enrich a promoting corporation. He
seeks to avoid just such mistakes as
have been made in the past and about
which there is such bitter criticism.
Do not the legislators believe in re-
clamation for settlement? Are they
in league with promoters and specu-
lators? Haven't they heard the walls
that have been going up for months?
Don't they care when men who are
grizzled and aged with toll cry as
they tell of the injustice they suffer
because of past irrigation blunders
by the state?
How can the legislature afford to
fight the governor with Warner Lake
as the cause of the strife? Is that
the way to exalt the legislature and
give it prestige with the people so the
initiative will be used less freely? Is
it to this our "model" legislature has
descended within 10 days after being
called TO order?

Our Friends the Enemy.

From the time of the announce

didacy for United States Senator. un-
til the declaration OF the final vote in
his favor, on Wednesday, the Kenne-
bee Journal has striven earnestly to
restrain the natural retort to some
of the bitter things which have been
voiced against us and our candidate.
There have been occasions, it is true,
in which we have felt it duty to
our readers and to our own self re.
spect to properly characterize the
anathemas hurled at us when they
passed from the realm of bitterness
into that of persistent and vindictive
misrepresentation. But for mere diff
ference of conviction. for honestly ex-
pressed criticism, and for legitimate
argument even though couehed in
terms of ridicule, we have endeavored
and, we trust, successfully, to main
tain an attitude of respect, tolerance
and good nature.

Many More Males than Females.

An analysis of census revelations is
always interesting, but PENNSYLVANIA is
hgurng with puckered brow the dis
closures of the recent census bulletin
showing that males outnumber females
in the population of that state by near
ly 100000, or SO per cent. The census
of 1900 showed smaller difference in
the ratio, namely, $50 per cent. more
men than women. Analysis OF the fig
ures discloses the circumstances that
in the country there arc ILL., males to
100 females. while in the Giles the ratio
is 1929 males to 100 females From this
condition it would seem that either the
effort to keep the boys on the farm is
more successful than the effort to keep
the girls there, or else that the coun-
try is more favorable TO the sterner
sex.
A contributing cause To the disparity
between the numbers returned is UNI
doubtedly the presence of so many for
sexes is 145.5 men to 100 women.
Economic problems are materially
affected by the conditions arising from
the disparity in the numbers 1t mas
tendency to decrease the ratio of
self dependent women who enter into
competition with men in all the occu-
pations open TO both sexes. All the eff
fects of this influence cannot be felt
within one decennial census period; but
industrial statistics of the relatively
near future will be found rejecting
notifications due to this cause.

questioned the truth of stores from
savage lands and ancient history al
leging that widespread polySamy has
been common. He reasoned that all

The Primaries vindioated.

In the election of Hon. Edwin G.
Burleigh to the United States Senate.
"Wednesday, the Legislature of the
State of Maine has indicated the prin-
ciple of the primary election law.
That law was distinctly on trial.
With but few exceptions and against
partisan and personal pressure. it held
men to respect the popular will That
will was manifested at the primaries
in June. by an overwhelming vote in
favor of Mr.. Burieigh, and was again
expressed in September when the peo-
pie at the polls voted into office rep
resentatives pledged under the prim-
AIRY law to carry out the June verdict.
In view of the remarkable senatorial
campaign subsequent to the September
election there are those who have ex
pressed the conviction that the prim-
airy law was a failure. We cannot
share this opinion. The defeat of Gov
erpor Burleigh would indeed have
contention. But the very intensity of
the campaign to sustain the priciple
of the primaries emphasizes the YER
dict in its favor. Without that cam
paign. inaugurated at the Threshold
of primary law existence, the interest
of both press and people would not
have been concentrated, as it has been,
upon the underlying principle of the
primaries, and the moral effect of Gov
ernor Burleigh's victory would not
have been SO sharply emphasized. We
are therefore optimistic in our faith
that the primary law will prove an
effective instrument of popular gov
ernnent.
In his address to the joint conven-
ton, Governor Burleigh said
Our new primary election law is o.
peoples measure, and has come to
stay. 1t is the first step toward the
popular election of United States Sena-
tors. In my judgment the time has
come when we should take the remain
ing step"
We repeat our conviction that until
that step has been taken, the primary
election law will justify it's existence
as the only method of registering the
will of the people in the election of
United States senator's But the pos
sibiity. even, OF Legislative contest
such as that just terminated, close on
tile heels of June primary followed
by September ratification, gives force
to the assertion of Governor Burleigh
that ''the time has come when we
should take the remaining step" of
the direct election by the people of
United States senators.
