6. THE OREGON BOOT VOL. II. '•*1, ^ !■■■■■■ WE SHOULD WORRY No. STAFF Editor .Wm, A. Cass Assistant .A. H. Davies Cartoonist .T. M. Loder Exchange .Gene Good EDITORIAL Owing to the fact that it is a rather expensive luxury to have a cut every week, our cartoon had to be omitted from this issue. However, we still have the cartoonist. We are wondering just a little how our readers are taking The Boot. If , we thought that there would be enough interest taken in the publica - tion of a humorous weekly, produced independently, to warrant it, The ' Boot has the feeling that it would ( like to step out for itself next fall and live a little longer. There is cer tainly a field (rather a whole farm) here for another paper, especially if its work would in no way interfere with the work of the Oregon Emer ald. We are just wondering, that is all, and The Boot is open to sugges tions from the whole blamed school, if it wants to express an opinion on the subject. EXPECTED THIS, DID’NT YOU? A few more days we leave behind us, a few more days of toil and care; and now the little birds remind'us, politics are in the air. Politicians all are smiling, office-seekers wring your hand; and their honeyed tones beguil ing, make you think you’re quite a man. Each ambitious job-pursuer tells you he’s the only one, that he’s only making surer, scores have urged him on to run. Promoters, too, are busy boosting, friends and all are in the game; telling how their man’s been roosting always on the porch of fame. Y'ou that was' the most neg lected, now are treated like a king; . ■ . C.X A "W *, • .. joy is in your face reflected, now/s’ the time to take your ding;. Soon .elec tion will be over, and they’ll say to J ou, "ta, ta. ^ ou 11 go back and talk to Rover, no more for you the gray “ha, ha.” O, we will miss them sore as the days go by, and the weeks so free O, we will miss them soetaoishrdt from stir; for none will be making the feathers fly, nor filling the air with iur; the campus will linger in Peace's lap, to the sorrow of all live men, tor there won t be a single chance tor a scrap, 'till election conies again. The I. W. W.’s employed in the Puget Sound saw mills have struck for individual towels and shower baths. the mill owners ought to furnish them with soap and compel them to take a bath. If J. Ward Arney continues his plastic style of news writing, he might hope to almost rival Otto Gil strap some time—almost. lonesome” 1 wake upon the same old world, I he same sights greet my eye, Below the same brown earth is here, A.bove the same blue sky. rhe same old moon looks down by night, Fha same sun shines by day, But the joy has faded out of all, For oh, she’s gone away. —M, R. C., ’09. Answers to Queries. Mrs. Montmorency Terwhilliger Worthyngton-Smith (Nee Lee)—We ire indeed pleased to know that you ire a descendant of the Annabel Lee mmortalized by Poe, but we cannot ise our staff to chase ancestors even 'or our valued readers. The only Lee we know of in this ; town is Long Hop Lee, laundryman. * * * Philologist—Pigger is not derived from pingere, but is the prefis of the latin word Pigoozle, meaning have lots of friends, for you might want to run for office. Bamboozle is another word in common use with the prefix bamb joined on to the same root word. * * * E PLUKIBUS UNUM A Potpourri of Poesy. (Editor’s Note—In this little gem from that most inspired of Western poets, Alas P. Yorick, ardent lovers of the msse will find reflected all of nature’s noblest emotions—love, af fection, sadness, fear, comedy, trag edy, and mortal anguish. In our opinion but few of the greatest poets of the age have aspired to so high an ideal, or succeeded so fully.) ST. AGNES’ Eve! Ah, bitter still it was! The hare for all its feathers was acold; The owl limped trembling through the frozen grass, Lamenting how in jack-pots he’d been rolled— For not alone the clime—the deck was cold, It is an ancient mariner, And he stoppeth one of three: “Vamoose! Who said that you could catch?” “Then let me pitch!” cried he. “Go thou and tote the water-pail, That is fit place for thee.” ’Tis the last rose of summer, Left blo*oming alone; The florist will pick her, And then there’ll be none. I weep for Adonis—he is dead! A fir-tree fell upon his gentle head, And closed those meek and gentle eyes for aye; We timber-cruisers had a holiday. We buried him darkly at dead of night. The sods with our bayonets turning; \\ e would have provided shovels and picks, If the darn fool had given 11s warn ing. I shot an arrow into the air; It fell to earth, I knew not where; But a farmer said it killed his calf, And I had to pay him $6.50. !• Sunset and evening star, And one cureall for me; I lean my elbow on the polished bar, And launch a schooner on a parched sea. * * * A Perfect Example. Prof.—“Give an example of an im aginary spheriod.” Stude—“A rooster’s egg.” —Cornell Widow. Departing Son. “Our boy has left us,” wept the mother, as their only son waved good-by from the car window. “Yes,” said the old man, whom the boy had just touched for a loan; "but he hasn’t left us much.” —Detroit News. The following sentences appeared in a small boy’s lifter to his chum: “You know Bob Jones ’neck. Well, he fell in the river up to it.” —Everybody’s. * * * “Oh, mama! I asked a cow to give me some milk, and her husband chased me.” —Judge. EDUCATIONAL LEAGUE GOLDS LILT MEETING Will Also Hold Mass Meeting in Hopes of Terminating Present Refer endum Worry. Declaring its intention to appeal to the different granges, labor, and com mercial organizations, business asso ciations and other bodies for their hearty support, the Executive Com mittee of the Oregon Citizens Educa tional League met Friday after noon in Portland, and buckled on its warfare armor. J. E. Werlein, for merly city treasurer of Portland, was elected treasurer of the league. Plans formulated at the meeting, which marked the final step in per fecting the two state organizations for this campaign, the other being the People’s Higher Educational League, include a large mass meeting to be held in Portland at the close of their campaign, which will crystalize the ef forts of all the bodies, and which is hoped will terminate the efforts to ward the invocation of the referend um. The league decided to ask the papers of the state for their editorial opinions as to the advisability of the special election, but at the same time deemed it best that they as a league should not go on record as opposing the special election, but that this was a question for every voter to decide. The following committee appoint ments were made for the active cam paign which will commence at once Mass meeting, C. C. Chapman, Mrs. J. R. Oatman, H. L. Vorse; publicity, E. Hofer, Mrs. I. B. Garriott, and Doc tor E. H. Dammasch; finance, J. E. Werlein, Doctor J. Marie Equi, and T. J. Geisler.

The last of the series of First Aid Lectures which have been held under the auspices of the Student Y. M. C. A., was given last night in Deady Hall by Professor John F. Bovard, head of the “Pre-Medics” Department of the University. Professor Bovard spoke on the subject, “Artificial Res piration; How to Resuscitate Par tially Drowned Persons.” Professor Bovard dealt with the different methods which are employed in reviving practically drowned per sons and demonstrated each one. He explained the Hall, Howard, Sylvester and Life Savers’ methods in working with drowning persons. He impressed the necessity of immediate action and perserverance. He illustrated the working of the pulmotor which is ex tensively used in inducing artificial respiration. These lectures have been extremely popular with the students and have been of much practical value. The other four speakers were Doctors Eberle Kuykendall, James Taylor, G. S. Bsaiclsley, and S. M. Southworth, all of Eugene. REV. BOYNTON COMES FROM CHINA TO VISIT BROTHER Rev. Chas. L. Boynton, a brother of Dr. W. P. Boynton, of the University, arrived yesterday from Shanghai, China, with his wife and small daugh ter. For the past six years Reverend Boynton has been National Office Y. I M. C. A. Secretary for China, and before that was International Com mittee Secretary of New York. Can’t Attend Movies. Vassar gills are prohibited from at- l tending moving picture shows on i penalty of expulsion. Notices have j been posted to that effect on the bulletins of the university. It is said the moving picture shows are perni cious in their effects and that the at tendance at the movies has become a demoralizing rage. She wore a Psyche and he loved her knot. —Ohio State Sun-dial. CASH WILL EDIT 1913 14 Y.M.C. A. HANDBOOK Walter Dimm to Manage New Edition Which Will Comprise Newr Features.
