A FITTING News dispatches contain
ACTION the information that the
German Catholic Centra'. Verein, at
Buffalo, New York, has adopted a res
olution condemning "America" as the
national anthem, and endorsing "The
Star Spangled Banner." The resolu
tion was introduced by a Mr. Prodoehl,
who thus comments upon the action:
"The hymn 'America," is an imposi
tion on the American public. Far
from embodying the lofty sentiments
" that are expressed in the Declaration
of Independence and in the genius of
our Constitution, it is repugnant r. tJ
American ideals. In the f'rstiriace, it
is sung to ths tune,0f 'God, Save the
King," the Brjysn National anthem,
a country against which we fought
two wars one for independence and
Vy'the other to maintain it. In the sec
ond place, America, the land of civic
and religious liberty, is identified
with the, land of bigotry and intoler
ance, of blue laws, witch-burning and
persecution. Such a song cannot be
regarded as the American National
anthem."
.There is a gensral tendency these
days to regard the song "America" as
merely a patriotic air, in much the
same manner as "Columbia, the Gem
of the Ocean," and other similar
. songs are regarded. People who do
this also usually rise, or remove their
- hats, when "The Star Spangled Ban-
-ner" is played. In fact in the army
and navy "America" is not recognized
by formal salute, but "The Star
Spangled Banner" is.
The chief objection that is made to
discarding "America" as the national
anthem comes largely from those peo-
- p'.e who think that with its retention
comes also a retention of a certain na
tional fealty to the church any and
all churches. The same feeling that
caused the replacing of "In God We
Trust" upon some of our coins, is
Waste Is the Blight of Our Lives
By the Rev. Dr. CHARLES A. EATON of the Madison Avenue Baptist
Church of New York
YOU have observed that the values in all parts of the world are stead-i
ily going down. There is not a bourse in the world that is not at
low ebb nor a nation that is not FINANCIALLY EMBAR
EASSED, and in America it is just the same. Even the state of New
York, supposed to be the financial center of the world, cannot sell its
bonds and must get money by a nine months' loan. The stocks of rail
roads, public utilities and almost everything are going lower in the mar
ket. Why is this?
Because a wonderful thing has happened. In the last hundred years
science has advanced at such a rate that THINGS ARE NOW BEING
DONE THAT . WERE NEVER DREAMED OF BEFORE, and con
sequently men have more to think and worry about.
. TODAY THE MAN WHO GETS A FINE WATCH HAS TO HAVE A
FINE VEST TO GO WITH IT; IF HE HAS A FINE HAT HE. HAS TO
HAVE A FINE SUIT OF CLOTHES TO GO WITH THAT; IF HE GETS
A FINE HOUSE HE HAS TO GET FINE FURNITURE, AND IF HE
HAS GOOD CLOTHES HE HAS TO LIVE IN A HOUSE THAT IS COM
MENSURATE WITH HIS APPEARANCE. ALL THAT ADDS A BUR
DEN TO THE OTHER THINGS, AND HE HAS TO EXERCISE HIS IN
VENTIVE FACULTIES ALMOST TO A POINT OF INSANITY. .
WASTE IS THE BLIGHT OF OUR LIVES. As an illustration
all our public institutions are hard up, and our money is tied up in un
productive avenues.

Weinhard Building
keeping congress from taking official
action setting forth that "The Star
Spangled Banner" shall hereafter be
the national anthem. As long as con
gress, and all officials of government,
in-fact hold one ear close to the
ground to catch the whisperings of
aproval' of what is known as "the
church element" just so long will
"America" remain undisturbed in its
rank as national anthem.
It is therefor gratifying to see a
Catholic organization adopt resolu
tions such as those mentioned herein.
It shows that somewhere there is
coming a broadness of view by which
the real fitness of one song or an
other is to be recognized upon pure
ly patriotic grounds. For a nation
whose constitution provides for a
complete separation of church and
state, these United States are ruled
about as thoroughly by churches as
any land of the old world. Other
churches, individually, have risen to
salute "The Star Spangled Banner;"
but church associations as a whole
have been somewhat diffident about
faking action. The Catholic Verein
having shown the way, perhaps others
will follow.
Patriotism should rule in this mat
ter, and surely patriotism can never
countenance the acceptance of a para
phrase of a British song as the na
tional anthem of this nation. The ac
tion of the army and navy, '''accept
ing "Ths Star Spp-.ole'd,'Banner" as
the natio'i'' .irir-'nas been unofficial.
If "W,nt well be made official, without
hurting the feelings of any people.
Other nations have a national air that
they salute and accept upon purely
sectraian occasions, and a national
hymn that they honor when the na
ture of ceremonial calls for such ac
tion. The United States might well
do this officially, even as its people
now rise and uncover when "The Star
Spangled Banner" is played; but do
not rise or" uncover when "America
is offered. Public sentiment will
crystalize on the question just as soon
as it is agitated; and the action of the
Verein at Buffalo may be the start of
such agitation and subsequent action
POOLITICS Willamette has now held
AS AN ART two elections in an en
deavor to enlarge its territory and has
failed each time. The second failure
is charged to the voting in the elec
tion of men whose residence was up
on river steamers that tied up at Wil
lamette's docks occasionally. Prob
ably a man who lives for the greater
part of the time upon a river steamer
has the right to call one terminal or
the other of his run his home. And
probably he has a right to vote there.
But the things that have been done at
Willamette seem to show an altogeth
er surprisingly brilliant grasp of politi
cal possibilities.
In fact the Willamete elections with
OREGON CITY,
their voting of steamboat men and
with the mpving into the territory ef
fected of people opposed to the elec
tion who "establish residence" in
tents seem a good deal like a past
mastery, on the part of somebody, in
the gentle art of "colonization." It
used to be done in a coarser- way,
merely by herding voters into hotels
and lodging houses. That method
has of late met defeat wherever
tried; but as Willamette is not going
to protest' the result of this last elec
tion, it seems that the newer - and
more genteel method is to be accept
ed. Herein lies a hint for politicians
of the future.
Herein, to be more exact, may lie
the saving of many a forlorn hope and
apparently lost cause. Perhaps the
scheme might even be extended so as
to make possible the satisfaction of
the personal ambition of one Theodore
Roosevelt, who a year ago today was
ED TWO
nominated for president upon the Bull
Moose ticket. What has . worked at
Willamette could be worked in larger
elections, though whether or not it
could be worked in a national election
is a matter that may be of doubt. But
it is an interesting development of the
art of politics, and news of it will
probably be received with joy by pol
iticians throughout the country, who
are often hard pressed to find means
whereby people can be made to "vote
right" so that the leaders shall be sat
isfied.
Oregon has long been famed as the
abode of weird and wonderful politics.
Oregon has also been noted as a re-1
publican state. Yet she has a super-1
abundance of democratic officers. I
r
Maybe if good republicans could be
moved in to the state, or brought in
often enough on steamers and rail
road trains, so that they could estab
lish residences the Beayer Slate
could getxi4-of tar democratic sen
Stul'gand so square herself with the
rest of the nation, which looks amazed
at her habit of sending democrats to
represent her in congress, when every
one knows Oregon is "stalwart re
publican." Willamette has opened a
great field she ought to patent it.

EGG QUOTATIONS
SOMEWHAT LOWER
Eggs, which have been selling at re
tail above 30 cents a dozen, are now
showing signs of getting down again
so that they wi'l be in reach of others
aside from millionairs. There was a
half-cent drop in wholesale quotations
Wednesday, and it is expected that by
the end of the week eggs will be rang
ing from 28 cents up.
Local peaches are selling at from
60 cents a box up, and the California
and Washington fruit in competition
is ranging around a dollar a box. The
fruii is improving in flavor and keep
ing quality.
Late shipments, of Royal Anne cher
ries from the higher orchards are be
ing offered at $2.25 per 20-pound box.
The fruit is superb in qua'.ity, and is
selling briskly in spite of the high
price asked.

Cantaloupes may last about two
weeks more on the market, but the
tail end stock is not expected to be
particularly reasonable in price.
Outlook for prunes is good, and the
crop this year gives indications of be

growers will probably reap good re
turns on their investment.
