Independence, Oregon, Friday, July 14, 1916
Verily, verily, this a great year for whiskers.
The best antidote that we know of for the Ore
gon ian is the Appeal to Reason.
There is a man in Connecticut who looks like
Roosevelt but no man will ever be found who acts
like him.
You have no doubt noticed that the speaker
who advocates peace gets more applause from the
average audience than does the one who wants to
fight somebody.
We know of no responsible newspaper or pub
lic man that desires or demands the annexation
of Mexican territory.-Salem. Messenger.
If the editor of the Messenger is attempting to
qualify as a humorist, he is progressing rapidly.

Jie shock of battle and the roar, and
billows beating on the shored And
Sousa, when he would compose that
music which the whole world knows,
tills up his pipe with good old "Tux"
(name t'other brands, and he says,
"Shucks 1"). Tuxedo is the smoke of
nun who do big things with lyre or
pen, who make the old worlds wheels
go round, whose names will down the
tiges sound. v
