county is to the effect that the officials
who were bribed received the wage or

that they brought spurious betting slips

the slips by the two men who carried
the gamblers money TO pay them with.

According 10 persons who will be used

there was no need OF payment being

imaginations which comprehended few
things beyond racetracks and gambiing
houses, went about II In the way hey
did, and so left evidence behind them.
There Is some notion that bv paving
or at the race tracks the gamblers may
have thought they were keeping a rec

prevent the officials from running out
on them :" that is to say, taking their
money and then closing their houses up.
But whatever the motive may have been.
the fact remains. and there is evidence of
IT, and the process. and perhaps It's reason,

WHERE IS THE LEAGUE!

As far as he is able TO be, President
Wilson is today a member OF the
League OF Nations, and the League Of
Nations is in actual operation today.
Yet, in the case OF the Russian-Poiish
war, We see that England, without con-
sulting the other members OF the
League, has been furnishing Poland
with munitions; that England and It.
ally are taking one position in regard
TO the Russian-Polish situation while
France is taking another and Presi-
dent Wilson still another. Is there
any certainty that they would be any
rearer an agreement if We were aCtu-
ally a member of the League: Is il
not ridiculous to assume as the demo-
cratic candidate for the vice-presi-
dency does. that the very fact that We
were a member of the League would
have prevented the difficulties which
now exist?
In this connection it is pertinent to
ask what action the League took to
prevent the invasion of Russia by
Poland, the charter member of the
League. and what action, if any, did
il take as an organization to protect
the boundaries Of Poland in the u
ter attacks by Russia which is now
proceeding? II we were a member Of
the League, would we not be bouni
to send men and supplies to Poland9

CORKERY DEMANDS AID FOR THE
FARMERS,

"The 1920 census shows a bigger
drift than ever from country to city
and a bigger increase in farm tenants.
More farm owners and less tenants
Is what we need"
The farm loan act has been attack
ed by the Farm Mortgage association
OF America because it completes with
their business. The law is before the
Supreme court and the farmers now
either go without or must depend on
the private mortgage companies who
have raised their interest rates since
the government loans have been sus-
pended"
Whether 1t is upon a quarter Sec
ton or a quarter acre, every home
planted on it is a guarantee of pa
riotic citizenship"
Finally the farm loan act should be
strengthened sc that, with proper
safeguards, a tenant can be given a
loan with which to buy a farm; as the
law now stands ever If the Supreme
court should uphold it, only the man
who has an improved farm can obtain
a loan. 1t is the small farmer on raw
Ian who needs help from Uncle Sam.
This is no pauper scheme because
the government gets back every cent
and the entire nation is richer by
reason of bigger production and better
citizenship"
why should all the burden OF
clearing land and putting the soil In.
to mellow condition be placed on the
shoulders of the pioneer and his fam
ily' when future generations reap the
benefits? No private loan company can
afford to lend On a thirty to forty year
basis, hence Uncle Sam must do it."
The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1920-08-27

Indeed is it not almost a certainty
that We would today have troops en-
gagged in that war?
In the minds of many people, If the
League of Nations were in operation
and it is the hope of all people-it
would prevent a Without the CO.
operation of the United States it has
been in operation for many months,
and yet, there is now being waged the
Russian-Polish war, the Greek-Turk-
ish war the Selling of territory in ST.
IBERIA by JAPAN, the killing of great
numbers of Japanese citizens by the
Russians and great numbers of Rus
sian citizens by Japan, and all with
out any regard to the League of Ma
tions. There are serious internal
troubles in Italy, and also in Ireland;
Raisuli is again making trouble in
Morocco; and, in fact there is not a
country where a match would not
start a conflagration. Up to this time
there is not any public evidence that
the League Of Nations has had any
influence whatever or has attempted
to exercise any in preventing these
disturbances.

An item in the Spokesman-heview
last week under the heading white
paper prices force up prices OF news
papers," the statement is made that
white paper that six months ago cost
1915 a hundred pounds is now $500
per hundred pounds. II that Is what
daily paprs pay for news print then
somebody is robibng the country press
wholesale. for the country press is
now forced to pay from Is to 16 cents
per pound for all that a be bought.
and the country press Is confined to n
small quantity with each purchase. or
course we realize that the daily paper
comes in rolls. that the contract is
made direct with the factory and that
paper is purchased in train load lots,
but even at that there seems to be no
reason on earth why the country
press should be compelled to pay
three times as much as the daily pa
pers for the same article. There s.
something radically wrong where
such a discrepancy in prices exist and
the country press has good reason to
ask why?

Every day We learn the truth Of the
saying that the greatest troubles are
those that never happen. Practically
every big brewery plant in the state
Of Washington has been converted in.
to some useful purpose, such as a
laundry. creamery or a fruit Juice fac
tory and is making nor money for
the owners than when manufacturing
beer, while hops and grapes are COM
handing higher prices this year than
ever before known on this coast. All
Of which is directly contrary to the
dire predictions made about the losses
that would be sustained and the in
Justice that would be done If prohibit
ton were adopted.

Candidate Cox says with great gusto
that he will place a real dirt farmer
at the head Of the department Of agri-
culture. Cox seems to forget that the
republicans placed a real dirt farmer
at the head of the agricultural depart
ment of agriculture and that he re-
manned there for sixteen long years
and really made that department what
it is today. That real dirt farmer was
James Wilson of Iowa a real farmer
from a real farm. He ran the depart
ment for the farmers and at the same
time he made it serve the entire ma
ton. When the democrats took hold
of things in Washington they made a
university president secretary of that
department and then followed him
with a publisher and completed driv-
ing all the remaining practical ideas
out of the department that Wilson la
bored for sixteen long years to build
up. Candidate Cox need have N con-
Germ about the next secretary of Ag-
riculture being a real dirt farmer"
as President Harding will see to that.

yious service in the office.
During the war, Mr.. Johnson served
as secretary of the County Council of

Okanogan District in the Third Liber-
ty Loan campaign. He also served
throughout the war as Government
Appeal Agent under the Selective Ser

We may be getting somewhere IN
the development of our democracy,
but it does seem that the professedly
advanced opponents of democratic in
situations and inovations argue in cir
Giles and often meet themselves COM.
ing back. Not many years ago in this
state We were told that the convention
system of choosing candidates for Of
flee was a failure and that the only
way and the one SURE and infalible
way Of Kidding parties of bosses and
politics Of corruption was to subst;-
tute the direct primary for the conven-
ton. We did it. But according to the
same gentlemen who had promised us
that the primary would end the days
or the boss. he continued to operate
unchecked by the reform and with as
much success as before. We were
then told that the only way to circum-
ven him was to adopt the initiative,
referendum and recall. That would
give the making and the vetoing
directly into the hands Of the people.
We did that also. But still, according
TO the doctors our politics did not
improve. The malady was as serious
as ever. if not more so. Their sure
cure had failed to take effect. So now
what do they do but return to us as
physicians with another remedy guar
anteed to reform the reforms, and it
proves to be nothing more or less
than a return to the institutions that
the former remedies were to disestab-
lish forever. They bring back the con-
vention, this time embellished with
the word advisory but carrying a
pledge designed to compel all members
of the party employing It to vote for
the advisory ticket nominated. Then
as a cure for the evils of direct legis-
lation, they propose the secret caucus.
Surely this sort Of progress resembles
that made by the crawfish.

commiseration for the lives that are
snuffed u or shattered along the new
battle lines. But there may be q per-
fectly natural explanation for this ap-
parent contradiction. 1t Is possipie
that pacifics object to war primarily
when they fear that they may be call
ed upon to take part in 1t and again
when they think that it may serve to
protect or secure the safety OF their
own country. They seem to nourish
W strong sentiments, one for the
country of their nativity or their
adoption that remembles hate mi the
other that resembles love for some
foreign country which holds In Its
purposes and ambitions a menace to
their own land. Whatever 1t is' the
expressed sentiment of the pacificst is
a sentiment that passeth all under
