Tariff Reveals Discords.
The tariff debate in the Senate has
brought to light several incidents
which appear to Democratic minds as
indicating the determination on the
part of Republican blockers to win for

ests favored by them. privileges which
are quite as desirable and politically

THE GovERNoRsHIP

With so many candidates aspiring
for the nominations Of both parties
and the fact that there is, ap.
parently, but slight interest in the
primary, II is hard to forecast the
results.
Judged by their past records there
are only three formidable candidates
for the republican selection; Govern
or olcott, Speaker Bean and sena-
tor Patterson. The last two named
It would appear are the only ones
who have a chance to defeat the
present incumbent.
olcott's defeat would be easier II
tho impression did not prevail that
he will win. or late, however.
there Is an indication that his friends
are not so sanguine, and there Is a
growing impression that he may be
defeated. This Is especially true
when the voters stop to think that
had he used the gubornatorial veto
qower more extensively during the
Imitation period, taxes would not be
as high as they are today.
This rs the most potent argument
that tho governors opponents have,
and mono OF them seem 10 be over
looking II. Aside from this there
is not a great deal in the governors
record 10 attack. He has been
particularly fortunate in having had
fow real problems 10 face.
So far as knowledge OF the
machinery OF state and breadth OF
experience goes, Speaker Bean ap-
pears TO bo the best qualified OF tho
candidates, and has in the past
shown q greater degree OF sympathy
for Eastern Oregon than any OF
thom. On that ground alone Mr..
Bean is entitled 10 the hearty con-
sideration OF the Eastern Oregon
voters.
Senator Patterson. too. has had
long experience In tho legislative
halls, and is widely known. The
offico would bo well cared for by
him. or course with all tho others
no Is pledged TO an economical pro-
gram, as In Speaker Bean. Both
men arc strong enough 80 that thoy
would accomplish a great deal In
that respect. SO far as olcott Is
concerned there is nothing in his
record TO show that he could ac-
complish great deal in that regard
Tho manner In which he called the
special fair session and the failure
20 deliver one way or another, is
likewise not making much OF a hit
for tho governor.

A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK

over in Lane county peculiarly
interesting situation has aT<sen,
Recently a number Of citizens OF the
county's metropolis, Eugene. motor
ed to Cottage Grove 10 urge Ebert
Bede. editor OF the Cottage Grove
Sentinel TO run for the legislature.
The remarkable thing about this Is
that Eugene itself has more candl-
dates than the district can elect. and
yet many OF Eugene's leading elti-
'zens are requesting the editor OF an
outside paper 10 represent them In
the state lawmaking body.
This unusual situation would not
have arisen without reason. and
that reason Is TO be found in Mr..
Bede himself and his constructive
record as a citizen and publisher,
Not only Is Mr.. Bede an able
newspaper man, but he Is a con-
structiye. energetic. capable and
successful business man. He knows
his business from the type-stiok to
the editorial sanctum, There Is no
better printer In Oregon than Ebert
Bede, and there are few men in the
state better acquainted with the
problems OF the public than is he.
Having known Mr.. Bede for more
than 20 years. having worked with
him at the case, we know that the
people OF Lane county will honor
themselves in his election. There
is nothing half hearted In the way
Bede does things. He Is a sincere,
though sometimes caustic critic; but
he is always constructive in his
criticisms. for he is a chip on the
old block.
Like his father. the famous Con-
gresham from Minnesota. Bede has
a keen sense OF humor. He has the
faculty OF seeing the incongruous.
the ridiculous. and OF presenting the
truth in a plQuant and Illuminating
light.
Elbert Bede will never bore the
lawmakers with ponderous eloQuenee
but with pungent paragraphs he will
tear the mask OF sophistry and
puncture the bEoble of idle oratory.
Judging by the manner in which he
has endeared himself TO the fellow
members OF the profession OF this
state. he will likewise win abundant
friendship In the legislative body; |

You owe this to your family, to
yourself and TO the public generally
BY doing this you will impress upon
your milk man the fact that the
people are alive TO the need for pure
clean milk and that II will pay him
to heed the warning.
But your action should not end
there. II your milk man says he

he does not answer yes" and Is not
ready to show his certificate, stop
taking milk from him. That is the
only safe thing to do. A man who
cares so little for the health and
safety OF himself, his family and his
customers that he will not take this
necessary and reasonable preoaution
is not worthy OF your business, he Is
not safe man TO be intrusted with
the purveying OF food.
You do not need TO take milk that
comes from n source which is not
clean and has not bscn examined.
There are dairymen about Ontario
whose herds have been inspected.
and they are entitled TO consideration
and TO patronage, for they are doing
that which is essential TO your well
fare. protecting the cleanliness OF
the food you are feeding yourself and
family.
II would seem that every mother
would ask that question OF the milk
man from whom she gets milk 10
feed her children. To feed germ
infected milk is but giving slow
poison. No woman with an ounce
of mother love knowingly would
poison her child, why then should
she lot the milk man plant In the
chil~s system the germs OF the
dread disease.

BOOKS AND REVENUES

Announcement that Lloyd George probably will derive total -'eVenue from his memoirs of s1,000,0 ,0OO-which will be devoted to the relief of war victims of England-and that the eE- kaiser sold the rights of his memoirs for s25O,0O0, has promoted the New York Times to delve in the records of earnings from the literary efforts of other outstanding historical figures.
 Probably most Americans do not realize that it is not the latter-day au- thors who have derived the largest revenues from the sales of their books. The highest record to date goes to for mer president-General Grant, whose memoirs, published thirty-siX years ago, when the president was sor7ly in need of funds, and wrote while he was in the agony of an illness, which prov ed fatal realized a profit of moro than s6O,OOO
 "When it was announced that the ex-kaiser of Germany would receive approximately $25O,000 for his me- moirs. this amount representing all publication rights outside of Germany, the general belief was that this repre- sented a new record" says the Times. But the -Hohenzollern work falls lar short of the mark set by the leading Civil war book at a time when the nublisbing business had not been de- yeloped as it is today.
 After suffering business reverses which left him without financial re- sources, General Grant undertook the writing of his memoirs in order to provide for his family. In the f1nal stages of the work, it was a constant race with death, the famous general died a few days after completing his memoirs. But the undertaking fulfilled it's purpose gloriously. One of the checks delivered to Mrs. Grant was for s2O,OO0 and this still represents the largest single royalty check ever de lyered by publishing house. An in- teresting feature of the Grant book was the fact that it was published by Mark Twain, who was then connected with the publishing firm of Charles l., Webster & Company. It was Mark Twain who saw the possibilities of the book before it was written and he es- timated the royalties accurately in ad- vance,"
 Among the other famous authors who derived large sums from their writings was Lord Macaulay, whose History of England" was a great money maker. Macauly is said to have received one check for $100,000. He died however, before his work was completed. Theodore Roosevelt passed the Grant record in total earnings but in computing this total all of the many books written by Roosevelt are includ- ed. Ludendorff's story of the German version of the war brought $125,0O0; Brand Whitloek's eStory of Belgium" s75 900; Admiral Sims war book, $40,-- 900, and Eddie Rickenbackers Fight ing Time Flying Circus approximate ly $1S.0O0.

for highway maintenance, it will be
the duty of the legislature to levy
a direct property tax to keep the
state roads in repair, j. Frank Smith,

ed in a recent speech.
adoption Of amendment No. 8 is
the most important issue before the
people of Missouri in their big road

"This provision was accidentally
omitted from amendment No. 6,

aside to pay the road bonds and in
