In Oria a state primary for renomination to the State Senate pits Hiram Johnson against a rival who accuses him of not loyal to the party during Hughes campaign and of opposing Press Harding policies. The clash is framed as a test of the administration amid national troubles.
The piece recounts two Sunday killings in Oregon in which a Portland killing and a The Dalles incident share a ruthlessly indifferent motive. It labels the criminals as illiterate and un naturalized, with a sensational digression on education and morality.
Tindall and Houser deserve commendation for raising the issue of Japanese aggression to the public. The piece notes a call for drastic federal action to curb what it calls the Oriental menace and mentions James W. Bryan pursuing the state senate seat amid support for tighter exclusion.
The Star invites readers to lie under trees and watch stars emerge in a deep blue night. It contrasts celestial wonder with urban light, muses on life beyond Earth, telepathy, and humanity’s place, urging contemplation of the universe and our bonds within society.
A speaker condemns adults who sell to minors and urges Mrs Landes to start a genuine welfare service for women and children. The root of the problem is the dealer, who profits from underage tobacco use, harming youths beginning their lives.
A letter argues for Albert B. Parish for King County treasurer, claiming he can cut running expenses by 35000 and improve tax reductions. It criticizes current chief deputy for keeping staff to preserve positions and urges electing a candidate who will retain qualified workers and deliver efficient service.

The word rapprocher means coming or being drawn nearer, the establishment of relations, or a return to proximity. It notes French pronunciation and cites a line about leaders hoping for a quick rapprochement with Germany over force.
The writer argues Washington lacks required medical and dental preparatory courses for licensure. Fraudulent dentists with minimal schooling prey on the pain and poverty of victims, charging upfront fees and moving between states, unlike other professions that demand diplomas and licenses. The piece condemns the lax entry standards and calls for stronger regulatory controls.
Editor argues against unethical dentists who steal and lie, comparing them to pickpockets and burglars. Public trust requires proof of competence and honor, and the phrase Dr should not shield malpractice. The public, especially the poor and uneducated, deserves trustworthy health care.
