Nation's Long Stride
fyrOHKIt 12IU marked another
anniversary of ColiunbuH Iny
4Ifi yours from Hip tiny Chris
topher Columbus and his adven
turous voyagers Kibbled (lie wont
em world.
Tim United Slates, as mil oT
Hut iKiW world, has come a lonj;
way siiint Unit disfovory. Today it
Hlands riB the wenllhlent and most
democratic nation of lioth the old
and new world. It Is 11 nation whose
citizens have more of the materfiil
wealth that, makes for better liv
ing and happiness (ban those of
any other nation.
There urn many Important chap
ters in America's hi.itory of pro
gressive development. Kvisry phase
of that history Is Important, but
two are of particular Import to
every one of Ibis mil Ion's LiO.UOu,
000 citizens. One Is Hie growth of
our nation under Hie Constitution
of the Culled Stales. The olher is
the development of America's pro
KI'ckhIvu Industrial system.
Without tho Constitution us it
V as drafted by our forefathers,
Americans today would not have
tho freedom of speech and action
thai they have found vital (o their
happiness; without American in
dustry they would not have, those
thlUKs which make their lives
more comfortable, hen It liter and
happier,
industry provides American
workers with the money and ma
terial needs with which to live a
fuller life; the Constitution pro
tects those possessions. Without,
tdther, the liberty and possessions
or which we have no rich a share
could nut bu preserved for us unci
our children.
Agitators Then and Now
TMIK author of the following
words can hardly Tie accused
of havhiK an axe lo M'ind In the
present situation, for ho has been
dead nearly !tn years. Yet his
words rhm peculiarly true today
as we see Irresponsible agitators
foinentliiK riots, ntiiken and prop
erly seizure. That man wrote?:
"There are persons w ho con
stantly clamor. They complain ol
oppression, predial ion and t he
pernicious influence of accumulat
ed wealth. They cry out loudly
iiKiiliiKt all hanks ami corporation
ami all menus by which small cap
Itallsts become united In order 1
produce Important and benelicial
results.
"They carry on mad iioslililj
acaiust alt established institutions
They would choke the fountain of
Industry and dry nil si reams. In a
country of unbounded liberty, I hey
clamor against oppression. In a
country where property is moie
evenly diUded than anywhere else,
they rend the air shouting iiKrnr
Ian doctrines. In a country where
vj.eH of labor are hih beyond
parallel, they would teach the In
borer he is but an oppressed slave.
'What can sin-h men want? What
do they mean? They can want un
til itiK but to enjoy the fi nits ot
nt her men's labor. They can mean
nothing but disturbance ami (lis
order. Hie diffusion of corrupt
principles and I he desti art ion id
Hot moral sentiments and moral

"Thanks. I'll run right down

A dimple showed at the cor.
nor of Kathleen's mouth, and she
fished a pencil out of the pocket
of her apron and inspected it
chjsely. "I can make good bean
sotip," she remarked irrelevantly.
Mob leaned forward eagerly.
"So what'.'" he a.sked.
"Yes, do coinn lonight and

"Ami if he did of course. Unit

Sunlio one was feeling Ihe of

tried desperately to think of her

But every time I am tempted

Wide enough for two cars to pass

with a grade that even my bus

THINKS U. S. SHOULD LET
CHINA FIGHT OWN BATTLE
IlOSKIirUC, O c t. 7. Kditor
News-llcview: So you call the
president's Chicago speech a peace
talk?
I call It a war-call, and a.s such
Mr. Koosevelt meant It.
If you remember the propaganda
our allies in the World war Used
to get us Into that war, Mr. Koose
velt 's Chicago speech must sound
very familiar.
Why. In those old days. 2" or
more years aco. ninety per cent
or nmre Americans believed that
"America would not escape after
'iermany had whipped the rest of i
hurope. Mie could come across
the Atlantic and rapture America."
Ilecause our beloved allies wirtied
us to believe this, they had put
out propaganda to that effect and
had our nation stirred up to that
deyree that the people actually
forced the administration to de
clare war against (iermany and
for the allies.
Other propaganda was used also.
Hut not by the president whose
duly it is to keep our country out
of war.
Could (iermany. exhausted by a
iong continued war with Ihe "al
lies'' (even if they hud been vic
torious i have come across the
ocean nod whipped a country figbt
inc at home? A country that hut
never been defeated, fresh from
long ears of pence, if she hadn't
entered the World war to fishl
lr other countries, who have had
only jibes and insults for us, and
refusals to pav vast sums of war
debts since America won the war;
for them. j
W ho believes now that (iermany i
could have "whipped America?" j
Vet our president, in his Chi
c:mo speech, usrd almost the ex- j
... ......I- !.. 1 ,1 I,. Ltir
I up American animosities only sub-
stltutlns Japan for Germany.
Why doesn't America mind her
own business? The president, one
would think, has troubles enougn
at home to which to attend. M
should attend to them instead of
making speeches intended to Mud
us Into war. Weren't Americans
sufficiently stirred up before this
Chicago speech against Japan ana
for communUtic China? A coun
try with five times the population
of Japan, hence in little danger,
one would think.
Let China fight her own battles
assisted hy her communistic
sister, ItiiBsia.
What difference, too. can It
make to a democratic America
whether Spain's dictator is a com
munist or a nazl
For cruelty and self-worship they
are six of one and half a dozen of
the other.
It ftnems that American pcoplo
are very easily swayed. Kasily
propagandized. Seems to mo that
they the American people would
bo insulted by the president's
words: "Let no one imagine that
America will escape," and the rust
of his tirade.
And we have forgotten that
Kneland .and Franco and Itussia
owe us that Immense war debt
money that America could use.
So easily do we forget.

U. OF 0. PRESIDENCY NOT
80UGHT BY MEN NAMED
Editor News-Review: Your head
ing in Monday night's News-Re
view, reading "V. of O. Prexy Post
Sought by Five Men." gives an en
tirely wrong impression, ami in
justice to the men named should
be. corrected. None or the tlvu men
has sought the posl'.ion of presi
dent of U. of O. For many weeks
the university and officers of the
state system have been studying
the universities of the United
States to find, if possible, the iniin
best qualified by scholarship, ex
perience, administrative ability and
personality to head the University
of Oregon. A large number of
names have been suggested by ed
ucators and the educational foun
dations. The list has simmered
down to the five distinguished men
named, not one of whom has been
a candidate for the position. The
position is seeking the man, not
the man the position. Several of
those named are admirably quali
fied, and a decision will probably
not be long delayed.
