It was largely through his personal supervision and his constant study of the times and conditions < that the News became one of Amerii ca’s greatest dailies. He was brilliant, tireless, splendidly fitted for his work, he lived it and he was always ' fighting for tile best interests of his people or at least for what he con sidered their best interests. His death following that of Delavan Smith, the editor of the paper, who I died just a week prior means a loss to the News which cannot be filled and his record will stand for msny generations as one to be followed by aspiring newspaper men. ~ • Ji Mr. Vestal is discovering that the life of a congressman is smoothest I when he does not have to select post- ‘ ( masters. At Portland he has had i slated Dr. Jay but so much objection ;

arose that the city republican chairman called a special election in which Dr. Jay run fourth while William Gaunt, deputy poetmaster was firtit. ' The term of the present postmaster, O. A. Rawlings expired Tueslay but . so far there has been uo nomination and it is rumored that Mr. Vestal will wait until after election and then name his friend, Dr. Jay. It is doubtful however if he can stnnd the pressure now being used to force him to make an immediate decision one way or the other and whichever he does will cause him trouble. Goverment may be a very simple matter after all but selecting postmasters and keeping peace in a political patty is an entirely different thing Party service rather than qualification seems to be the rule. With the assertion that ‘■everything at republican state headquarters is confidential,” the state committee offices have entered the great silence. Employes will not give any information to strangers and must not talk to newspaper men. Out of the Lyons mouth information may (ome, or it may come from Secretary .-‘chortemeier. These two are to be

Ihe official connection between the mysteries of the state committee and the republican voters who furnish the means by which the committee may remain mysterious. Realizing the necessity for exceptions to prove ihe rule, the state chairman says that Clarence R. Martin, chairman of ihe speakers' bureau, may give out relative to speaking kites, and Miss Etelka Rochenbach may tell about meetings for the women. Cornelius Richardson, appar ■ i ntly must not say anything about his work in connection with the colred voters' bureau, nor must W. R. Steele, in charge of registration, nor Miles Furnas, who is working on elans to elect a republican legislature. The orders, presumably, were directed against the newspapers of Indianapolis, but they are all inclusive. When some of the Indiana republican editors are in town and drop into headquarters they must not feed hurt if the only things they hear are’ ihe clicking of typewriter keys and the rustle of the wind through the card index system. Employes would talk to them if they could, but their jobs come first —Indianapolis News. Peru Has Withdrawn From League of Nations » By Henry Wood 1 nlte.l PreHN Staff <'orr«-MpoH<lcnt Geneva, Sept. ". —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Peru has withdrawn her delegates from the league of nations assembly because a Chilean, Augustin z Edwards, was elected president. Bqlivia instructed her delegates to remain away from Geneva for the same reason. The Tacna Arica dispute, believed practically at an end since arbitration at Washington, was the basis for the Chilean-Peruvian split. Bolivia’s en nifty towards Chile also had its root in this South American controversy.
