Because of some little difference in belief as to proper method of baptism great bodies of people find that they can not assemble together in religion. Because a pastor’s ideas differ in some inconsequential way from those of some member, the member finds that he does not receive a nourishing amount of spiritual food through the pastor’s teaching, so he must have a new pastor. Because leaders in the church can not agree upon the proper color for new decorations the church goes with ont them. '■ * % This condition is not peculiar to the church. lodges have been broken up over some inconsequential disagreement. Dissolution of business partnership has resulted from inconsequential dif ferences of opinion as to how a thing should be done. Friendships have been severed be cause of some inconsequential mis understanding. Marriages have been annulled be cause of some inconsequential molehill that grew into a mountain. And so on through life. And days, or weeks, or months after wards we can look back and see what dog gone fools we were to argue and fuss about the inconsequential incident a). We can’t sec that the course of the earth in its orbit would have been affected in the least had we let the other fejlow have his wny. We can then see how much more we would have humbled the other fellow bv showing that a point upon which he placed so much stress did not amount to enough to us to be worthy of the least argument. We can see that by giving in in that manner we would haio placed ourselves in the com manding position, something we did not do by fatuous argument. There are enough big things up for consideration to take nil our time and energy Let us not waste any in argument about lucoiiacquentiul inci dentals. We will be better pleased with our selves and others will be better pleased with us. nut say The 4'on gross of the t inted Hinte» if we say The Ttuion ’ ’ ?

THE WORST HOO A BAD H A B IT Oregon Exchanges: One of the sins of the Wilson administration that may appear trivial to many persons but which, unless corrected, may do more harm in the long run than any of the apparently greater shortcomings which led to the recent political upheaval, consists in the tampering with the news that has become increasingly common at Washington in the Inst eight years. The bad habit referred to is the practice of v iolating one o f the best rules >>f good jurnalism: the rule that the story must reveal the source of the information. It was a long time ago that some body (was it ” T. R. ” l ) laid down the ukase “ the president must not be quoted” — that was before Wilson’s time—hut now the Washington cor respondents allow almost any political wirepuller or office holder the same privilege. The front pages of even the best papers are filled with stories credited to “ a high official,” to " u n questioned authority.” to " t h e best military opinion.’ ’ or “ a source close to the White House. ’ ’ I f Josephus Daniels or any other cab inet officer has something to say to the public, why in the name of com mon sense should not his name be usedf Upon what meat have these Caesars fed that they are entitled to “ inspire” stories that they do not want to stand behind? A great proportion of the matter that is sent out from Washington un der the head of “ special correspon dence " i s » disgrace to American journ alism: unreliable, partisnu, vague, of very doubtful truthfulness, and not without ulterior purpose. Why should politicians be allowed to “ use’ ’ the press to send out “ feelers” —stories they will not authenticate over their own names but which they ask the papers to attribute to “ a high author i t y ” ? And why should the press allow its Washington correspondents to sink from honest newspaper men to dope sters under grave suspicion of using their imaginations instead of their faculty of inquiry? As the ease stands, the Washington news is about the poorest journalism the average paper prints. The Eugene Register has taken up the cudgel against glaring headlight* 0|H*rated by road hogs who give no consideration to the rights of others and who are doing their best to tenant the cessetertbs o f the country. It is hard to imagine a worse law’ violator than the one who refuses to answer the signal to dun headlights It makes little difference that he takes his own life in his hands, but it does make a difference that he endangers the lives of others in hi* own ear and in the car approaching him. The thing to do is to get his number and see that he is brought before the law. A few arrests for this kind of violation would soon bring them all to time. Wheat is down to about ¿1.50 the bushel. The tariff is down, too- which two facts put together explain themselves. Most of the farmers voted for a protective tariff, knowing full well that the protection brought about by war conditions could not much longer endure. Tales of the Town Mr and Mrs Ernest Wvatt were up from Oregon City for Thanksgiving visiting at the home o f Mr W v n tt’s parents, Mr and Mrs M F Wyatt, and Mrs. W y a tt’s sister, Mrs. Worth Harv cy. Dan Huniant was up from Dnllas over the week end. Worth Harvey is keeping out of the wet with u Ford sedan. Charles Burkholder, Jr., came up from O. A. C. for Thanksgiving and remained until Monday.
