WRITE HOOVER ON THE BALLOT.

AS was to be expected, Herbert Hoover has refused permits
sion to place his name upon the democratic primary ballot as can
didate for president. He has consistently refused to permit the
use of his name bv both parties in the primaries of several states.
The Oregon republicans may disregard his request and put 1t on
anyway, as the democratic signers of Hoover petitions supposed
former Governor West intended to do.
Mr.. Hoover is not a candidate and refuses to align himself
with either party, until he knows what that party represents. In
refusing the use of his name, he is perfectly consistent, but the
fact that he is not a candidate, only makes him the more desir-
able as a candidate. His attitude is in refreshing contrast to that
of the avowed aspirants and their feverish campaigns and mil
lion dollar expenditures.
The people of Oregon, both republicans and democrats, have
the right to indicate their choice for president upon the primary
ballot. That is what primaries are for. The fact that Mr..
Hoover's name will not be printed upon the ballot need not deter
any one from writing it thereon. Such an endorsement will indi-
cate the sentiment of the people far more conclusively than a
printed name on the ballot and an organized campaign in every
precinct, managed by the politicians who rally their supporters
and henchmen at the polls to vote for their favorite.
Every person who favors Hoover as the best qualified man
for the presidency, regardless of party, will write his name onthe
ballot. @Snw###sSS

II REST

As expected, the Portland Oregonian rushes to the defense of
General Leonard Woods million dollar slush fund, ~attributing
Interior motives to critics and j~ustifying large expenditures in
primary campaigns, declaring that ut costs money and a great
deal OF it, to reach the voters of a single state. 1t costs AZ times
as much in all the states"
Continuing the Oregonian holds that campaign funds should
not I've limited. THE question as to what is too much money, and
what is just enough money" says the Oregonian, ito be used
in a political campaign may not be determined by any fixed rule"
Then why has it been found necessary to limit campaign ex-
penditures? Why have most of the states adopted a limit and
why have we a federal limitation? If a limit is necessary in
elections, is it not equally necessary in primaries?
The Oregonian admits the need of publicity regarding con-
tributors but overlooks the fact that the best defense of his
political purity General Wood could make would be to publish the
list of the contributor to his campaign fund, not after the cam
pagn is over, but as they are made, so the people can know Just
how much money is being spent to influence their votes and know
who is putting it up. They will draw their own conclusions as
to motives.
The list of Woods millionaire friends have been published and
the list is not contradicted by Woods campaign manager. If
wrong IS beng done to Wood and his alleged contributors, author
lied publication of the list of contributors will remedy it. Rut
there is no publicity Offered, as yet.

NEW PEACE COMPROMISE PROPOSED

A petition has been filed with the president, and will be on
file with the senate also, fathered by Samuel Colcord, signed by
such distinguished citizens as President Lowell of Harvard uni
.versty, Cardinal Gibbons, George w. Wickersham, Augustus
Thomas and many Others requesting that the peace treaty be
adopted upon all the points upon which there is agreement and
that only the disputed portions, such as Article X be left to a
referendum of the people at the general election.
The appeal comes from disinterested persons, not allied with
politics and is inspired by the wish to secure for America and the
world such of the benefits as would be decreed by a speedy set
Element ending the suspense and uncertainties consumation
devouty to be wished.
The peace treaty is still in the hands of the president, who is
waiting to ascertain what the senate does with it's resolution
declaring a separate peace with Germany. 1t must be either re-
turned to the senate or a new peace treaty negotiated.
Meanwhile the inability of the nation to function in peace
and participate in the affairs Of the world brings a blush of
shame to every American except those blinded by the prejudice
of craftsmanship.

Pneumonia attacks the air cells
of the lungs. An Inflammation
is set up and matter is thrown
off which causes the air cells to
solidify, thus preventing the
natural flow of blood thru the
lungs. This backing up" Of
the blood causes the heart to
pump harder, just as stepping on
a hose increases the water pres

during this disease, the physician
watches the overburdened heart
so carefully.
After recovery the lungs are
filled with a mass of wreckage--
the debris of the battle--which
must be gotten rid of by a process
known as resolution. frequently

Nightly applications Of Vick's
VapoRub will aid nature in this

by stimulation thru the skin to

These vapors are breathed in all
night long, thus bringing the
medication to bear directly upon
the infamed areas. -
Vicks should be rubbed in
over the throat and chest Until
