HIS SECOND INAUGURAL A BOLD program for America is announced in the presi- ! vlded.

In purpose, and irt its vision or auty, or opportunityjana or service. Lincoln said, ''a nation cannot exist half slave and half free." Nor can a nation exist half American and half alien. j Without a unified jAmerlca, Pres ident Wilson cannot safeguard American lives, cannot preserve the rights of neutral j America.

If Woodrow Wil son Is in war at all. may It be his proud distinction to be last In wax; that Is to say, the last American pres ident in war any war, as long aa tbe world endures. After all, there is not so much to family quarrels as we sometimes think. Uere is the Chicago Post, never ac cused of affection for Mr. Wilson, but now saying: "We may say rough things about our president ourselves, but we don't feel at all pleased when the chancellor of Germany does It." . Those who. In writing for the news papers, write on both side of the paper, or who, writing with type writer, single epace their lines instead of throwing her into high, are possibly trying to relieve the paper shortage, merely, instead of being the malefac tors the copy reader thinks they are.

It Is to be suspected. however, tnat bv 'west' is meant Chi cago or Kansas City, at the very far thest."

Heretofore, boats have been land Ins; wherever they happen to steer to shore.

MINNIE wa only a gray cat of the East aide alleys, sayv the New York Tribune. Three years ago a winter wind whipped down Mulberry street and blew her into old police' headquar ters where Superintendent -Furlong adopted her to keep the rats aWay. She raised three litters of kittens In the meantime. . Five were born about a month ago, and deciding that the old house in the basement corner wii too cold for them Minnie carried them one by one into the boiler room of th'e sub cellar. The fire had been banked for the night and the door of the ash pit under the boiler was open. A soft, inviting warmth wafted out. There was noth ing to warn Minnie of the live coals buried above, and, one by one. she car ried her kittens into a corner ut the farthest end. Early next morning Thomas War ren, the day fireman, shook down the fire preparatory to stoking it. Down came live coals, carpeting the bottom of the pit, and out flahI something gray under Warrens feet, lt was Minnie. Before Warren could recover from his surprise aha, had disappeared again, to reappear presently with a kitten in her mouth. Hhe dropped H at the fireman's feet and entered again. Five times the mother cat walked across live coals. Five times she re turned with a kitten in tier mouth. When she had laid the last little ball of fur on the cellar floor Minnie dropped. The kittens were unharmed. Superintendent Furlong bought a hot tl for them and will raise them him self. "But I had to shoot Minnie," he said. "She was just about burned to death."

JEFFERSON (1801): Equal and exact justice to all men. of whatever state or persuasion, religious or po litical; peace, commerce aad honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none; the support of the state governments in all truelr rights as the most competent administrations for our domestio concerns and the sur est bulwarks against antl-republlcan tendencies; the preservation ef the gen eral government In Its whole consti tutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad; a jealous care of the right of election by the people absolute acquies cence in the decisions of the majority, the vital principle of republics the supremacy of civil over the mili tary authority; economy in the public expense, that labor may be lightly bur thened; the honest paymeat of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith the diffusion of Informa tion and arraignment of all abuses at the bar of public reason. JEFFERSON (1805): Who can limit the extent to which the federated prin ciple , may operate effectively? The larger our association tne less win it be shaken by local passions! and in any view. Is it not better that the op posite bank of the Mississippi should be settled by our own Dretnren ana children than by strangers of another family? With which should we be most likely to live in harmony and friendly Intercourse? MADISON (1812):Already have the gallant exploits of our naval heroes proved to the world our inherest capac ity to maintain our rights on one ele ment. If tne repuxawon ui ur anus has been thrown under clouds on the other, presaging flashes of heroic en terirle assure us mat noimng is wanting to corresponding triumpiis there also but the discipline and habits which are in daily progress. MONROE (1821): From the change In the government of Spain and the ne gotiations now depending it may be presumed tnat tneir uuxerencea win be settled on the terms proposed by the colonies. Should the war in South America , be continued, the United States, regarding occurrence, will al ways have it In their power to adopt such measures respecting it as their honor and interest may require. JACKSON (18:9): The recent demon stration of public sentiment Inscribes on the list of .executive duties in char acter too legible to be overlooked, the task of reform, which will require par ticularly the correction of those abuses that have brought the patronage of the federal government into conflict with the freedom of elections, and the counteraction of those causes which have disturbed the rightful course of appointment and have placed or con tinued power in unfaithful or incom petent hands. In the performance of a task thus generally delineated I shall endeavor to select men whose diligence and talents will Insure in thair respec tive stations able and faithful coopera tion, depending for the advancement of the public service more on the Integ rity and zeal of the public officers than on their numbers.

LINCOLN (181: A disruption of the federal union, heretofore only men aced, is now formidably attempted. 1 hold that in contemplation of universal law and of the constitution the union of these states Is perpetual. Physi cally speaking, we cannot separate. We cannot remove our respective sections from each other nor build as Impassa ble wall between them. Then can not but remain face to face, and Inter- dence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better or -equal hope In the world? We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, lt must not break. Our bonds of affection. The rnyatlo cords of memory stretching from 'every battle field and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union? when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better an gels of our nature. LJNCOm (1865) : Fonciy ao we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourage of war may speedily pass away. But if It continuo until all the wealth piled by the bondman's 250 years of unrequited toil shall be sunk. and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn by the sword, as was said 3000 years ago, so still it must be eald. "The judgments of the Liord are true and righteous altogether." With mal ice toward none, with charity for all. with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in. to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations. s GRANT (1869): The country haying just emerged from a great rebellion. many questions will come before lt for settlement. In meeting these It Is desirable that they should be ap proached calmly, without prejudice. hate or sectional pride, remembering that the greatest good to the greatest number is the object to be attained. A great debt has been contracted in securing to us and our posterity the Union. The payment of this must be provided for. OARFIELJD (1881) The civil service ran never be placed on a satisfactory basis until lt Is regulated by law. For the good of the service itself, fof the protection of those who are entrusted with the appointing power against the waste of time and obstruction to the public business caused by the Inordi nate pressure for place, and for the protection of Incumbents against in-tria-ues and n-ronr. I -shall at the proper time ask congress to fix the tenure of the mlsor offices of the sev eral ecutlve department and pre scribe the grounds upon which remov als shall be made during the terms for which Incumbents have been appointed. CLEVELAND "(1S33): Manifestly nothing is more vital to our supremacy ss a nation andto the beneficent pur poses of our government than a sound and stable currency. The verdict of. our voters, which condemned the injustice of maintaining protection for protection's sake leads us to a refusal of bounties and subsidies, which burden th labor and thrift of a portion of our citizens to aid Ill-advised or languishing enterprises In which they have no concern. It leads also to a challenge of wild and reck less pension expenditure, which over leaps the bounds of grateful recogni tion of patriotic service. The ex istence of immense aggregations of kindred enterprises and combinations of business Interests formed for the purpose of limiting production and fix ing prices is inconsistent with tho fair field which' ought to bs opened to every independent activity. To the ex tent that they can be reached and re strained by federal power the general government should relieve our citltens from their Interference. M'KINLEY (1901: Our diversified productions are increasing in such un precedented volume as to admonish us of the necessity of still rurther en larging our foreign markets by broader commercial relations. For tins pur pose reciprocal trade arrangements with other nations should in liberal spirit be carefully cultivated and pro' moted. Four years ago we stood on the brink of war. It came. The re sult imposed upon us obligations from which we cannot escape, and from which it would be dishonorable to seek to escape. They are obstruction ists who despair and who would de stroy confidence in the ability of our people to solve wisefy and for civiliza tion the mtghty problems resting upon them. Our Institutions will not Poker and a Section of Idind. When tho land boom was at in height In western Canada, a well known eastern Oregon wheat farmer, who was also a famoua poker player, went to Canada to Invest in a section of land. 'Aji It was generally known that he was planning this trip, and as the gambling fraternity always desired to see their friends accommodated. th news f his Intended trip was Sent on ahead to Calgary and the fraternity In that city had everything planned for a "big game" the night of his arrival. When the farmer-gambler arrived on the scene in the weetorn Canadian city, lt is paid everything was in readi ness for his royal reception. When the game ended, about 9 o'clock the next morning, the oregonlan had drppped $7000. He went whistling off to breakfast as nierrllv aa thouab he Wd lost departed from a meeting of the Ladles Aid society. He looked over tho country for a few days and bought a section of ex cellent wheaLland, paying around 7 per acre for it. Since then he has had many opportunities to sell this sec tion of land at a handsome profit, but persists in holding it. An lntlmato friend, who la familiar with the book keeping methods of thin investor, says that a special account is kept for this particular invesimem. rsoi oniy is ine price of the land and Interest charged against It, but another account of $7000 and annual Interest charged against It, and when It ia sold lt must return this $7000 and Intereet also, as well as interest on the first cost of the land. He hopes that war prices for land ' will allow him to realize his aim and get back from western CaruuJa the 'roll" he dropped that night of his first arrival there. , Muru ithr amicable or hostile, must , deteriorate by extension and our sense continue between them.

Kids' Songs. "Sing gaily; sing gaily," runs the chorus of a rollicking ilay-ong that the Instructor In gymnastics at Penln-, rula park has taught the little folks of the children's class as they romp through their exercises. What was the surprise of this teacher not long ago to hear a childish treble shrilling forth thot refrain: 'Sing gravy. ;ing gravy.

A lone freight car on a side track in Crane was the object of much curi osity end comment the other day, says the Crane American. ueHidnt wou:a give the car more than one look, for It was a gentle remindT to some of birds singing, flowers blooming and a fantasy of delightful hours of heaven ly music and Jovial companions. A few would look at the car und utter the word "D n" and then take a drink from a nearby pump. When a small group would be gaz ing tenderly at the lone car, some one would stop, thinking perhaps lt was the new rolling stock of the pro posed Bums "Gap" railroad. But such was not the case. It was on! y ah old freight car. but the words "Anheuser-Busch, Budwelser" were em blazoned on Its side. AH 'this trap? pened on tho first dsy of the Oregon bone-dry existence.
