A record of long and faithful
service is never a handicap to an
employe of a successful business
enterprise. Corporations and cap
tains of industry never dismiss a
member of their working forces
simply for the purpose of making
a change" Nor do we think Una
tilla county will dismiss Sheriff
Taylor on such a f1imsy pretext.
Brave, active and resourceful, he
has a record as a cuplrit-taker sec.
ond to that of no other sheriff In
the state. and the clerical affairs Of

FOR THE LEGISLATURE

The Leader is inclined to favor
the election of Lou Hodgen and
E. P. Dodd to the Legislature
and this entirely without disparage-
ment of their respective running
mates, of whom it hears excellent
report. Mr.. Hodgen has a record
of good service to recommend him,
and his personal character and
qualifications are beyond criticism.
With his reelection the East End
will be directly represented. Mr..
Dodd is fully representative of the
growing irrigation districts Of the
West End and their logical candi.
date, as he is president Of the irri.
cation league organized by the re"
spective towns In that country.
The central part Of the county will
have Roy Ritner in the upper house
and perhaps Norborne Berkeley,
who is popular, well informed and
able Democrat, pioneer resident
of Eastern Oregon, and may posi-
bly, beat Eberhard for the joint sem
atorship of the Nineteenth district.
In these circumstances it is our
view that Ella Terpening, although
described as a woman Of unusual
ability, is rather handicapped by
her place of residence. So also is
Brownell of Umatilla, although for
different reasons. He lives in the
extreme west end, and unlike Dodd,
in a sparsely settled locality. In
brief, with the election of Hodgen,
Dodd, Berkeley and Ritner-Ritner

MAC, YOU'RE RIGHT

In optimistic mood after some

simoleons to pay the printer, Bro
Macleod of Up-to-The-Times Maya
zine cheerfully spills the follow
ing:
Stick around and live until "af-
ter the war" it is going to be
worth it. You are going to see
all kinds of good times throughout
this inter-mounain country "after
the war" You will see town and
country real estate come back; you
will see much building and indus
trial activity; you will see an i'm
proved order Of farming and live
stock raising; and best of all, you
will see a program Of good road
building started and maintained
that will be the real thing. Don't
neglect and grow careless of your
mental and physical possibilities;
stick around and keep as busy on
the job as you know how; keep ev-
cry vestige Of hookworm out of
your system. After the war and
for some years after the war
there will be much doing in this
interior northwestern country and
the opportunities for halfway up
and.doing and wide-awake folk are
going to be many.
