SHOULD YOU PATRoNIze AIm7

Because Mrs. ]. c. Brown OF 2s0i
Welton ST. rented for $11.50 certain
house belonging to the .Conaway
Bogue Realty Co.. thru the efforts OF
Mr.. Harry Cowell of the Colored
American Realty Branch, when the
Five Points realty man wanted $15.0c
per month. the Star is becoming anx
ious to know whether colored people
at Five Points are forced to pay more
for rentals. The best way out is:
Any time you cannot get what you
want, phone the Colored American
Realty Co. Any insults or embarrass
ments, let them bear It; itS in the
business. II you go and get insulted
you are alone injured. Why not rent
thru a colored man anyway?
Follow your dollar and spend 1t where
t will do the race the most good. DC
you get that?

G. A. R. Editor Comes
Out For President

Washington, Oct. 3l.-That every G..
A. r. veteran owes debt of gratitude
to the administration of President Will
son is the declaration of Colonel John
McElroy of this city, lifelong repub-
lican, and for 80 years editor of the
National Tribune, official national or
gan of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie. Colonel McElroy has refused to 90
on the stump for Hughes.
For me to take the stump against
Wilson would be to smite the hand
that helped us, he says. 'We old
soldiers owe much to President Wilson
The new widows pension law comes
more nearly to doing justice to the
wives and dependents Of old soldiers
than any pension law ever passed
Commissioner Salizgaber, appointed
head of the pension bureau by Pres-
dent Wilson, has been one of the most
efficient pension commissioners we
have ever had.

CAR SHORTAGE is INEXCUSABLE

The Public Service Commission has made a critical
examination of the shortage and the there
for and has made its findings public That is about all it
could do although in places was thought remedy
would be found that would at least improve the situation
No doubt the commission would gladly undertake to do
this but unfortunately it has not the authority backed
by the power to compel the road to through The
commission year ago. and pointed out to the South
ern Pacific the conditions liable to confront it and
recommended then that the company prepare in advance
for the conditions that it foreseen would arise The
Commission did all it could. 1t led the horse to water
but it could not make it drink The report shows the
Southern Pacific did nothing to prevent the shortage nor
has it done anything material toward relieving it. The
report shows concusvey that the state is Disseminated
against in favor of California despite the strenuous
denial of the roads officials and shows that in the face
of the promise of President Sproue to better conditions
that they have grown steadily worse.
The report further shows that is not lack Of finances
the last four years it has not only declared it's annual
dividend of six per cent but has during that time laid up
a surplus of more than forty million dollars
The Commission makes certain suggestions as to what
the road should do to relieve the situation and while
tanning jurisdiction of the gives the road twenty
days to say what it will do regarding its suggestions.
What the road will do easily foretold 1t will do as
it peases; but it will probably use diplomatic language
in telling the commission 1t will confess and avoid
as the lawyers would say, and that all there will be to
it. 1t is easily that the shortage will be over be-
fore anything be done about it. and all that be
accomplished is to learn our lesson from what we have
experienced and ask the legislature to furnish the proper
club to the commission so that hereafter it will not have
to say pease" when it asks the Southern Pacific to do
it's duty to the people of the state.

STOP GAMBLING IN FOOD STUFFS

The Master Bakers of Chicago have starteda move
ment to petition congress to lay embargo wheat in
order to stop the increase in the price of wheat and -four
Of the movement will get nowhere The farmers
for are having their inning and getting bigger
prices for their products than under normal conditions
Is that not true also of most industries? How about
United States Steel and Bethlehem? They are getting
double prices for their products not only abroad. but
here at home making people pay war prices
for all steel products 1t is in leather and its products
and yet while paying two prices for shoes sug
gesting an embargo on these.
Why make flesh of one and fish of another? If prices
to be kept down by embargo all products should
be treated alike and how long would the little steel
panes and the leather trust stand to have their foreign
market cut off?
The farmers got out Of the present rise in wheat
than they did from any previous one for the jump started
before they had sold out and before the spectators had
gathered in the bulk of the years products AS general
thing they get little of the increased prices for those
jumped up after the spectators have corraed the crop
The thing to do is to pass law making it crime for
anyone to speculate in oodstus To put the statute
books the provision that when food sufs sold the
buyer compel the delivery of the material instead of
paying the difference in price. This would stop the
gambling in futures and steady the market the farmer
would get of the advanced price instead of the
spectators getting it all.

The Hughes editors should get together and agree
some course as to the eight hour bill One says it was
"a cowardy surrender to force" Another insists it will
ruin the railroads if they are not given permission
charge higher rates. Still another thinks the farmers
should have been consulted because they will have the
bills to pay Yet another says that instead of surrender
ing to the railroad men that congress handed them
of bunk and gave them nothing Others trail along
with the assertion that the railroad will have to
work longer for less pay than before the law went into
effect Others still insist that only few affected and
that all should be buncoed. Besides these there
dozens of other views of the law expressed and each at
variance with the Others 1t is bewidering and the
republican papers should get together and straighen it
out the country would know just what the matter
with the bill anyway.

Congressman Hawley says southern Oregon will cast
heavy vote for Hughes and give him great majority.
He estimates the majority in Coos county for Hughes at
1900. Of course Mr. Hawley's speeches had not had
time to soak in when this statement made and this
will probably account for the big falling off from the
estimate the returns will probably show. He failed o
bill and why he voted for it, since as the Oregonian and
Hughes assert it was "god brick" Perhaps he took
the Oregonians view of it which to be that only
20 per cent of the railroad handed this gold
brick" and sore the democrats for not gold brick
ing the other 80 per cent Maybe Mr. Hawley was just
doing the best he could.

In just one week there will be whole lot of people
who are just engaged in making predictions about
the result of the election who will be out of job It's
dead shot that about half of them wrong for they
predict according to their politics and both sides have
small army of them. The truth is that there is large
element whose vote cannot be guessed at and this
vote WILL in all probability decide the result According
to the Wall street gamblers the result is extremely doubt
full for they while short time ago wagering two to one
that Hughes would be elected have switched until the
odds are ten to nine and bets made at money.
However, that is only their opinion, and it is worth no
more than anyones else.
