Newspaper Page Text." THE 2SEW AGE, POUTLAND, OKEGON. TOPICS OF ) THE TIMES. Tho Indies of n Western church nrc to (rive n "rubber" social. Well, well, what ncckst. Jcnn tie Hloch snyB America could starve Europe, but we promise not to do It ns long as Europe has any money. In spite of their pride of birth tho members of the Cnstellane family al ways retain sutllclent presence of mind to mnrry heiresses. There Is a great sense of relief In be ing able to writo a $10,000 check with out the government swiping 2 cents on the transaction. Just try It. A fnrmer killed himself because he couldn't keep the hogs out of his corn. Those who never tried to keep hogs out of corn will probably consider this n trivial reason. A literary society has decided that It U Improper for a girl over 10 years of age to climb a tree. Hut what would a poor girl do who was being chased by a mad bull or a ferocious mouse? The other day Emma Jabolowsklvar talcs and Enos Nye were wed. What a sigh of relief must have escaped the presumably fair bride when she felt that name slipping away from her. Hy imperial decree from Russia's Czar, woman Is granted eijual rights of admission to the Alexander University In Helslngfors, Finland, with tyrant man. Who will now deny that the world do move? A Loulsvlllu woman Is suing n tele frrnph company because one of Its mes nengers, "traveling at a great rate of sliced," ran against her In tho street. Tho boy had probably been let off to so to n ball game or something. A New York newspaper remarks that "ferries come and ferries go, bridged rise and bridges fall, but tunnels In hi forever." There Is a nclentllle truth In the observation. Of all works of man earthworks plain earth-mounds sod ded over are about the most enduring. A proierly constructed tunnel Is essen tially a work In earth, and so almost as permanent as the great globe Itself. Mr. Carnegie Intimates that ho has como to the conclusion that the art of making money Is u gift. As Mr. Car ueglu Is an expert along this line there are a great many people who will be quite ready to combine their own ex perience with his declaration and cheer fully acquiesce In It. At the same time this Is a theory that may be carried altogether too far. Hroadly considered the gift of making money Is tin; gift of application, of Industry, of courage, of tho art of plucking down opportunity at the eventful moment that it ripens. A patriotic New-Yorker, u member of the Hoiih of the Revolution, is preparing to give to each of the public-school buildings of New York City a copy, of colossal size, of the famous Hombju bust of Washington. The model, made by Wilson MacDounld, one of the old est sculptors In America, has already been nccpted. Tho public-spirited donor believes that love of country should be taught lu the schools, and that there Is no better way of teaching It than by keeping the memory of the greatest pa triots fiesh lu the minds of the pupils. Naturally tho Father of his Country comes llrut. Tradition asserts that the Queen of tihclm gave Kolomon an Intricately pierced stone to thread. He solved the problem by forcing a worm, dragging a thread, to crawl through the winding passage. The modern version Is on a nutgulllcd scale. To test the right of Chicago to call Itself a seaport, the tcamcr Northman, loaded with West ern grain, tlmU'r and machinery, has made the voyage from Chicago to Ham burg by way of the great lakes and tho Welland Canal. Tho white thread of her wake can hardly fall to weave n new and Important pattern Into the maritime commerce of nations. In soino of our Sunday papers, spe cialists have been discussing how much of a man's anatomy may be pruned without destroying his usefulness. Dr. Oeorge E. Marks, who Is a specialist lu an unpleasant sounding thing called prothesls, thinks that after a man's extremities are lopped off, he really ought to live longer, because "the la bors of the heart are lessened to force the blood to tho furthermost avenues, the nervous system Is less harassed and the respiratory organs are not so easily overcome In the stress of life." Dr. Motehulkoff,, "the distinguished bac teriologist," has ventured tho opinion that "a greater part of tho Intestinal canal Is useless for man, because all the essential functions of digestion and nutrition can satisfactorily be carried on after cutting away tho alleged super fluity," The general public Is getting to bo of Mr. Dooley's opinion, that If the doctors opened more windows and fewer patients, tho general health would be better and tho death rate con siderably lower. None who gives attention to tho mat ter will deny that this country would bo freer and happier If there were a lawful check against laws, Buys the Saturday Evening Tost. The lack of any such checks puts on tho people of every State, In every season, such a mass of restraints that uot the lawyers themselves keep track of them, and confusion Is worse confounded by tho wrongiicss, Inconsistency and mutual interference of the bills that go through the ntuitiiil grist. Legislatures are com monly political rather than statesman like, and they 'put Into the permanent form of law schemes for temporary and party benellt. Sometimes tho laws are not even so wide as that, but are mere screws for extortion. It cannot be that so many measures are needed to pre serve the uprightness of n country that is naturally ns upright as any lu the world, yet it is n fact that over 120,000 pages of laws Issue every year from tho legislatures of our States. We live In a riot of law-mnklng. It Is a blessing that most of the measures are dead let ters from tho day of their enactment, yet It Is n danger thnt any of them can be resurrected from tho Umbo of the forgotten and used to enforce an unjust demand or express a prejudice. Lack ing u national check or standard of law, the various States and the various townships of n State can bo widely di vided against one another. One could multiply, through hundreds of pages, the ubsurdltles and Inconsistencies for which zeal In law-making Is responsi ble, but It would uot check their in crease. That Is best prevented by al lowing the people to approve or nullify their laws. Initiative and referendum offer great possibilities, for If laws were submitted for flnul adoption to tho peo ple themselves; or, If we could conllno our legislatures to biennial perform ances of not more than sixty days' dura tion, there would bo a surcease of law, and the governing statutes would sift down to a few sensible measures. Wo elect men to mnke laws, but men who would accept ollleo with tho under standing that they were to unmake hundreds now on tho books should be, and possibly would be, hurried into olllcc by tumultuous majorities. The London Spectator turns from questions of war, taxation and Ameri can progress to discuss the prevalence of mild untruthfulness. It uot only believes that everybody departs from tho truth more or less, but It defends the departure. Tho editor solemnly uf linns that conventional or society lying, when practiced with strict modera tion, Is In no way detrimental to the moral health. Modcrato story telling, like moderate drinking, Is a vague term and suggests the danger of llnal Im moderate Indulgence, but tho Spectator makes an argument In behalf of tho former that Is not all sophistry, al though It may be censured by moralists who do not nlways practice what they preach. Tho woman who sends her maid to the door to say sho Is "not nt home," or who begs her guest not to hurry when she means "Do go," Is only practicing one part of an extensive codo that prevails throughout polite society. What should wo do with the Inquisitive people In tho world If every question they ask had to be answered with abso lute truthfulness. "I refuse to answer" Is seldom n pleasing rejoinder, and Is not always effective. Tho "whlto He" Is often the only weapon that will serve to defend one's self nud at the same time not destroy friendship. So long as curious peoplo will ask questions which It Is Inexpedient to nnswer and give Invitations It Is Inconvenient to accept, It Is to be feared there Is little hope of a reign of absolute truthful ness. Terhaps tho most that can be asked Is that there be no deviation from truth which can lu any way Injure others, or which can bo avoided without wounding the feelings of others. A man hardly would dare to Invite a friend to dinner If tho friend could uot Indulge In a polite Ho and say ho was sorry, but he had another engagement and could uot come. If he told tho truth be might, according to tho Spectator, have to say: "i do uot like you and your friends bore me," or, "I could come quite easily, but I do not euro to associate with the second-class people among whom you live. "Tho question Is: What would bo gained by the truth In such cases? So ciety would liavo to bo mado over on an entirely new system If It had to bo run without the oil of polite prevarica tion tlbblng which may uot deceive but which does not offend-nnd It Is doubtful whether It would bo as pro ductive of good us It Is now. Certainly the world would bo a more uncomfort able place to live lu, ns uncomfortable as Gilbert's "I'alaee of Truth." These white lies are manufactured largely out of the milk of human kindness. They are prompted by a desire not to lujuro other people's feelings. As tho Specta tor says, wo havo all entered Into a tacit agreement that under certain cir cumstances wo will deceive each other for the common comfort. Society seems to havo adopted the philosophy that there aro times when peace and good will are worth more than tho absolute truth, when that truth will be provo cative of III will. Nearly Surrounded. At a Luton school tho other day a teacher, having ubked most of his pupils tho difference In'twevn an Island and a peninsula without receiving a satisfac tory answer, came to the last boy. "I can explain It, sir," said the bright youth. First, get two chisses; till one with water and the other with milk. Then catch a fly and place It In the glass of water. That tly Is au Island, because It Is entirely surrounded by water. Hut now place tho tly In tho glass of milk and It will be a peninsula, because It Is nearly surrounded by wa ter."
