This Is a matter that should be sifted to the bottom In case the facts show that some one has blundered pur posely or otherwise. The people should Insist that the blame be put where It belongs, and thnt the culprit be put where It will be several days before he works out another scheme of n like character. When a scheming politician, or the Interest thnt Is behind him, is driven Into the corner 'and It becomes neces sary to do something desperate to dis credit the work that Is calculated to curb him, one of the first things thought of by a schemer Is to discredit the work Itself. This is the more easily done, and the harder to detect nfton If It la . ooo . -.I-,-!-..! or accident of similar import. And It i is. usual to let the guilty man escape on the belief that It is an error. But It Is not an error; It Is a case of a planned out scheme, and the men who pull It off are well paid if they have the nerve to ask It. What is to be done then? That is simple; pun ish the man who commits the error and punish him so severely that In his anguish he will cry out the name of the man or men who Induced him to commit the deed. Then punish the principals and after a short time pa role the dupe. To which some may answer that we I have no law for such punishment. But we have plenty of law; don't let the professional pettifogger say we have not. It is time the people gave the professional lawyer and politician to understand that the general law or unwritten law Is strong enough for all of this work and that it is not neces sary to have a specific statute. True, certain courts have ruled otherwise in the interest of the profession of law any! law making but it is time for the people to do a little ruling and their ruling should be that we have plenty of law and that we have the nerve to use It If it prove true that there has been a blunder making Inoperative certain laws, and a special session necessary. men snouio tne legislature appoint a committee to look Into the matter, and give It money with which to do it, and have this thing sifted to the bottom; punishing, in due time, the men who committed the deed and those who hatched the plot and se cured the dupes to put it through.

This Is perhaps Russia's opportunity, when poor China is rent with a famine. Per haps a few Chinese might be Induced to go over to the nemy for a full stomach, for when a man Is starving there is little he won't do In an effort to save his life. The Council of Milwaukle is Social istic on a Joint ballot. Now we are told that this Council will spend a million dollars for park purposes. In this way the Socialists Intend to take from the predatory rich a part of the j millions that they have hoarded In I the past. j j Even the question of the confisca ! tion of a few eggs was carried to the United States courts. But then eggs have been going up amongst the high flyers the past few months, and It Is j nothing strange that a few should wish j to break into the highest court. The successful use of the fire drill In a Seattle school saved 550 children Thursday. There are some things that at grst glance may seem to be needless, but the fire drill has many times proven Itself a case of time well spent. Portland is to spend $25,000 on oil ing streets the coming summer. As the city has done considerable ex perimenting In the past, and now de cides to spend so great a sum, it looks as If her officials were satisfied with the experiment.

It Is not always wise for the average citizen to make a holler just because he doesn't understand what is being done by the National government. It may not be wise to tell everything at the outset, especially when one is to make movements in the army. The producer and show what a splendid market exists right here at home for these farm crops. "Because of the activity of the lum ber camps, the great amount of rail road construction, mining develop ment and other big sources of demand for farm produce, this condition is one that will not be changed for a long time, if ever, and the situation is a very inviting one to the producer. More people should go on the farms Why should one slave in the city to make a bare living when he may achieve independence In the country? The opportunities the soil offer are the greatest and the rewards the most certain. There is room in Oregon for thousands of farmers; this is the state's greatest need."

Acquaintance at Bank CJNot the least of the advantages of having a checking account at this bank is the acquaintance which it promotes between the depositor and our officers. (j 1 his acquaintance enables our officers to get in touch with the interests of the depositors, and to lend all the co-operation consistant with conservative banking. JOur officers gladly welcome the opportunity to extend the facilities of the bank to new depositors. cIlie Bank of Oregon City Sitting down on the sofa ami hold trig Hctti's hands tightly In hers, she told the story, passing briefly over the bitter pans and dwelling longer upon Harold's manly resolve to niuke full reparation for hi sin. 'Different people need to have dlf feront things happen to them to bring out the best there is In them," said Giudys when the story was tlulshcd "Maybe this will be the bent thlug for Harold. 1 c.in't he!; believe It will all come out right In the end." There was a strange hush about the campus the next day. Students gath ered in lutle groups here aud there, talking In subdued toues. It seemed as if some oue were dead, so strange was the unnatural quiet. The story of Harold's disgrace was generally known now, and boys aud girls looked at Beth pityingly as she passed. Mabel saw and understood aud real ized, with a pang, that the mere pay ing back of the gambling money could never wipe out Harold's shame. It wasn't the money that these students were tbluklug of they had seen bets won aud lost before but It was the disgrace of attempting to wiu the game unfairly. The University of Iowa prided Itself on the cleanness of Its athletics, aud Harold's action had left a blot upon its record that It would take years to outlive. The few weeks that intervened until vacation passed quickly. School was out agalu. and once more the girls walked up the little path to the fa miliar kitchen dir. where their fa ther aud mother were eagerly await ing tbem. It was at church the next Sunday evening that the girls first saw Jeff again. As soon as the benediction was said be came over where they were. "It wouldn't seem like getting back home If you weren't here." he said. holding out a band to each of them "I've got a hundred things to say to fou." "So have 1, if l can get up courage to talk to a real live football hero." laughed Gladys. "Suppose you try. anyway," Jeff an swered. "My horse Is out here, and If you girls can trust your father and mother to go home aloue"- "I guess tbey can find the way- wlth us close behind, anyway." said Mabel. "I suppose 1 owe you an apology for not coming over to see yon the night after the Iowa game." Jeff said when they were on their way "But you may be sure that I didn't stay away because I wanted to. The dortor had to bang on to me to keep me from going, anyway." "Were you hurt very badly?" asked Gladys quickly. "Oh. no." he replied "A broken rib doesn't count for very much In foot ball. If It had bectf in a fair tackle I wouldn't hare cared." he went on. "but to be kicked iu the ribs lil.c dog"- i Gladys stoped hliu with a gesture "Harold Is our friend." she reminded him gently "I beg your pardon," Jeff siild, run trolling himself with an effort. "I -1 iH'llevt T could like lilm TieMer f be were more like you. You miy a fel low deserves credit Just for the hard things ho does," she went on. "Did you ever have any hard things to do?" "Not jet." he answered. "Kverythlng at collego was easier to do that) not to, buf- "llut what?" "1'iu not going back to school." "Not going backl" she echoed. "Why not?" "I fa father," he answered. "He's too old to work as hard as he's doing Sluce the other boys went out wont everything Is left for him to do. He uever would trust anything to a hired man. I've Just been thidlug out, too," he added, "how many things he and mother have hevii going without In or der to keep mo In school. Why, they've even been staying home from church because their clothes wore so shabby. It's been a dlsapiMilutuii'tit to fattier, too, having all his boys leave home. Ho has always been planning ou how he was going to tlx up the old pluco when we were old enough to help." "And so you are going to stay at home," snld Gladys "Isn't It hard?" "Hard:" he cried. "You don't reallre how hard ll Is, Gladys. I used to lie out under the apple trees ou Sunday afternoon and d renin about the won derful world outside and especially that part of It they called college. I never wanted to study Greek or higher mathematics, but the name 'agricul tural college' alwnys fascinated me. I stayed home from lots of fourth of July celebrations and circuses In order thnt my college fund might grow faster. When I started I ouly bad enouch money to last one term, but father offered to pay the rest, besides what I could earn." I wonder why It Is." said Gladys slowly, "thnt people who can h.ive a college education Just for the usklng, uever seem to appreciate It. while those who really do make the most of their opiHirtunltles have such n bant time going nt all?" Let's not talk about It." Jeff an swered "When I think of all I had planned to do nt college next year nod of all the old follows trooping bad; shen classification dav comes It seems is If I enn'l stnv nwav " Gladys nodded In silent, understand ing sympathy They rode on In silence for a long time Then Jeff pointed with his whip toward a Held they were passing "I'm going to t i If Unit forty hi the sprint." he said "I won't be satistled until I make ours the liest farm In the coun ty." "I thought you were the bravest boy I ever k.iw that day I saw- you on the football Held." saUl Glad.v slowly "I im sure of It now " "And I'm sure you're the best chum I fellow ever had." .loft answered (To be continued.)
