BUNKER HILL Back in Massacbu
AND NOW-A-DAYS etts Tuesday
they celebrated the anniversary of
the battle of Bunker Hill, in which
engagement the forefathers of some
of the present-day Americans made a
noise that attracted considerable at
tention throughout the world. There
are people who believe that the an
niversary of the famous engagement
oueht to be a national holiday, but so
far this enthusiasm over the first real
conflict between the colonials and the
British has not extended very far out
side of the old Bay state. Perhaps
this is because school is usually "let
out" before the 17th of June, and
when school is out the American peo
ple are not over-inclined to pay atten
tion to holidays save always the
Fourth.
While people of Charlestown, Mass.,
were watching the Ancient and Hon
orable Artillery company parade in
its weird uniforms, and were cheering
the veteran firemen, and listening to
the booming of minute-guns and orat
ory, people on the other side of this
continent were focussing their eyes
upon quite different things. In Ore
gon City, for instance, there was be
ing held a serio-comic meeting, in
which certain gentry from Portland
were harrangulng the local multi
tudes, and telling Oregon City folk
that they needed a new brand of
freedom, and that they should rise up
and throw off the galling yoke of the
oppressor, and other things. The
Oregon City meeting purported to be
held in the interests of industrial lib
erty; but as a matter of fact it was
held in the interests of industrial li
cense. It would be interesting to know if
the incongruity of the two gatherings
- entered the heads of the soap box
orators who spoke so glibly of the
workingman's wrongs in these parts.
It would be enlightening to know if
the agitators who came down here
and undertook to run the city had
ever heard of Bunker Hill, and the
spirit of true American liberty that
"Votes For Women" Lead

QDAL rights do not imply that both sexes should engage
promiscuously in the same pursuit, but rather that each sex
should discharge those duties which are adapted to its phys

The . SAD RESULTS LIKELY TO FOLLOW IN OUR

are foreshadowed by the scenes which are daily occurring in England.

first manifested itself there. At
Bunker Hill Americans, with shot and
shell, announced to the rest of . the
world that they felt perfectly capable
of running their own affairs, and that
they were going to do it. At Oregon
City some 137 years later some forra-
! er British subject, and a companion
or two, announced that the citizens of
this municipality were not going to
run their own affairs, but that a
group of agitators would do it for
them. The contrast between these
two conditions is quite marked, to
say the least and as the agitators
were talking to American citizens, it
should not surprise them at all if
they get an answer strikingly similar
to the one given the British when
they tried the same thing over a cen
tury and a quarter ago.

The spectacle of a bunch of editors

who day in and day out push pencils

folk may have the news of the world

not over-cool at supper. Though
many people regard newspapermen
as pests that must be endured, they

Talks
By JAMES A. EDGERTON
THE APOSTLE OF LIBERTY.
It is not popular to praise Thomas
Paine, perhaps the most misunder
stood man of modern times.
Yet I am convinced that it is just;
and. being so convinced, I will do iL
Thomas Paine was the apostle of
liberty in three lands in his native
England, his adopted America and in
France, that he loved.
He endangered his own freedom and
finally lost it that he might give free
dom to all mankind.
An intensely religious man, he yet
believed in religious liberty and taught
it to an intolerant age that misunder
stood his motives and his ideals.
He believed not only In the Ameri
can and French republics, but in a re
public of the world. He set the colo
nies on fire . for ' independence and
heartened their soldiers in the dark
days of the Revolution. He helped
frame the bill of rights In France. He
taught the rights of man in England.
His "Age of Reason." which resulted
in heaping calumny on his name, was
written as much against French athe
ism as it was against what be regard
ed as superstition in America and Eng
land. -
This man expressed his faith in God
in some of the most beautiful apostro
phes in literature and showed a keen
appreciation and sympathy with the
spirit of the teachings of Jesus of
Nazareth, of whose character and
moral ideals he spoke in praise.
Perhaps he lacked education, for he
was ever a commoner, the son of a
staymaker and with only a grammar
school training.
Yet few men have ever written in
more eloquent or trenchant English.
It has been said that those who
come -to save mankind are either
worshiped, ns gods or chased as devils.
It was poor Paine's misfortune to suf
fer -the last named fate. Yet the law
of compensation operates, and through
It he will some day be placed as high
ns he was before made low. for that
is necessary to balance the scales of
justice.
Personally I believew him . to have
been the actual-author of the Qeclara
tion of Independence, and there is
abundant proof to support this view. r
. At any rate, he was a prophet of lib
eity and republicanism the world
arouud. and in this age we should not
stone our prophets.
HIS FOOLHARDY FEAT.
A Nerve Trying Climb Up the Face of
a Steep Preoipice.
In his book, "Trailing and Camping
In Alaska," A. M. Powell, a govern
ment surveyor, tells how one of his
party , was led into a .most hazardous
predicament. , He says:
We landed on a grassy nook at the
foot of a precipitous mountain spur.
After supper one of the trio tried to
climb to a ledge of white spar that
could be plainly seen from the camp.
After an hour's bard work he reached
the ledge, but it proved -disappointing.
He then saw that he could, not de
scend without eyes in his toes. If be
could ascend a few hundred feet he
might lower himself down a draw by
the help of scattering alder brush. He
spent another hour in getting to that
place only to discover a precipice in
the path he bad expected to descend.
There was another chance left; he
might elimj) to the top of the spur far
above. No living man could have
clung to Ihe face of that, precipice a
minute if it had not been for the moss
that was rooted in the small crevices.
He continued climbing until about
10 o'clock, when' he paused to look
down on the campfire and the water,
more than a thousand feet below him.
He felt a sickness come over him. so
he turned his gaze to the rock wall, a
foot from his face.
When near the summit he found him
self face to face with a perpendicular
wall about twelve feet high. There
appeared to be a small bench on top
of this wall, on which he might rest
if he could reach it. He sat for a few
moments on a large rock that lay at
the foot of the wall: then with his
knife he cut niches for finger and toe
holds. Holding on by these he climbed
up and dug a sort of trench through
the moss on the rim above, through
which he might draw his body. Then
he descended to the rock for a long
rest before making the final effort
He finally nerved himself to the task,
put his fingers in the niches and drew
himself from the rock which, with the
pressure of the departing foot, said
goodby and went bumping down, down,
down. The man was left clinging to
his niches hope and life above, sure
death "below.
Big drops of sweat stood on his fore
head as he steadily worked up. up. and
held with one hand while he dug
the other into the moss above. Half
of his body finally rested on the edge,
while the other half hung in space
without a foothold. It seemed impos
sible to move from that position until
he saw an alder stem, an inch in diam
eter, that had grown on the little fiat
bench. He tried its strength. It en
abled him to pull himself up and lie
on the narrow bed of moss, where he
thought of friends far away and his
own folly.
There was but one way out and that
was along a six inch shelf about 100
feet to the westward that ended on
the -sloping ridge. Along this a man
could edge his body by holding on to
the jagged places in the rock wall. He
took off his shoes and set off along
that sloping path, but he had to be
careful not to look down from his
dizzy height to the distant campfire.
The feat was accomplished safely
and a thankful mortal lay on the green,
grassy ridge in complete collapse. His
aneroid barometer recorded 2,140 feet
above the sea. and his watch told him
that it was balfpast 12 in the morning.
The English Breakfast.
England has known many changes
during recent years. Caste lines have
been obliterated, the silk hat is no
longer an object of reverential wor
ship, actors have been knighted and
bands introduced into restaurants. But
the breakfast table is the last ditch of
British conservatism. The Englishman
beats bacon and eggs 365 mornings in
the year and welcomes leap year be
cause it enables him to indulge in that
delightful dish 36(5 times. The mon
archy may be abolished and the house
of lords deprived of its prerogative.
but the English breakfast will remain
as it was in the days of the conqueror.
