BuJ afljer mature reflection many a eorisolirjg thought will occur to them. The ' water is a great deal better for them than the booze would have been. They can drink it without any fear of a headache.- By'.purchasing it they have not broken any law. Nor have they tempted their poor fellow sinner to commit, a crime. ' To be sure theyj could have pro cured a supply of good old Bull Run from any hydrant at far less expense. But what is a few hundred dollars? Dross, mere dross. Let them fix their thoughts on what they have been saved from and all. will be well with them: If any 'dark regrets for the lost booze should trouble their minds perhaps they can find comfort m the old song,' "There Is Nothing So Good for the Youthful Blood as Pure and Sparkling Water."

Nobody could be better pleased than the kaiser over the fuss raised about General Wood. There is no sacred aura about Gen eral Wood. He has never held a high war command. . Other gerierals ac cept their assignments jwithout ques tion or complaint. Wood raises a fuss, goes to see the president, gets a certain type of newspapers and numerous politicians tusy in his be half, lie infringes military discipline by questioning the orders of his su perior officer, an act for which two American - privates in France were recently condemned to death. To ' an onlooker. General Wood seems to be very much of a "politi cal" general. Whenever he is ordered to do something, a ripple of "politi cal" excitement pervades the country. If he shpuld go to France would every ordCr he received there havj to run through the same "political" mill before General Wood would obey it? How much would that con duce to victory? In this war no other general has carried his caSe to the newspapers. The same thing has been done to doz ens of them that has been done to General Wood. Not one of them has made complaint. Save Wood, all have obeyed orders like true soldiers and said nothing. They are not news paper generals'. General Wood may be a great military commander. In the newspa pers and in politics, he is so ac claimed. But in actual war that as sumption has never been proven, and all the loud claims that he is an other Napoleon are paper claims. Anyway, if it is "politics" that keeps General Wood out of France, is it ."politics" that keeps the other generals out of France, and in what possible way could President Wilson profit from alleged "politics" of that sort? Meanwhile, the Americans seem to be doing mifthly well in France under Pershing. Pershing is a soldier who goes where he is ordered to go and does what he is told to do. That is a good kind and a safe kind of soldier. ' A million mothers' sons in the mili tary service of America haven't, per haps, the exact army job they would like to have. But without complaint or cavil. they are marching against Berlin just the same.

Congressman Sinnott took the opportunity during debate on the 111,000,000 food production bill to call attention to some of the waiting op portunities for irrigation in Oregon. Coupling with irrigation the drainage of swamp lands, which lie principally in the South, Mr. Sinnott declared that here lies the greatest opportunity for giving to the men who return from the war a chance to appease their land hunger, and make them at once valuable work ers and producers of wealth.

Soon I saw a peasant in patched cotton blouse and cheap cloth cap come down a narrow, winding, cob ble paved street He was playing on a flat reed Instrument as broad as one's hand. Back of him a flock of shaggy goats walked solemnly. A friendly, non descript dog trotted behind the herd. As the goatherd walked along playing his pipes the women came to their doors with pitchers or earthenware bowls. At a word to the goats, they stopped and the man milked a quart for the woman. From door to door he went milking here pint and there a quart I followed him to a street through the center of which ran a double row of chestnut trees. He stopped his herd to milk a bowlful fer a woman, who carried her baby on her hip. One of the goats came up to me and hegan to beg for bread, nibbling at my fingers and nudging me with Its nose. Another, a black goat with a cross of white hair on its back. walked in at the open doorway to forage what It could. When the man had handed the woman the bowl of milk I produced a 50 centime piece (10 cents) and motioned toward the goats. He spoke to the woman and she called to someone within. A girl of 20 or thereabouts, with a blush and a smile. came out and handed me a cream -colored earthenware bowl with a broad blue band around It I stooped and started to milk one of the goats. It looked back over its shoulder and saw me and gave a jump that landed It six feet away. All of the goats turned their yellow eyes upon me reproachfully, so I handed the bowl to the owner of the goats. He filled the bowl to the brim with warm, rich, yellow milk, and handed it to me. Every doorway was filled with smiling women and wondering children. They we greatly amused to see me drink the quart of goat's milk. It was deli cious, and since tt Is richer than cow's milk, and goats are less subject to dis ease than cows.

The trouble is that some of the old time party bosses want to bend Senator McNary to their way "of doing things in order to make, him believe afterward that he owes them a po litical debt, an obligation they would hope to capitalize for future political uses. . Senator, McNary's prestige was won by steering clear of them. In the past and there is no wiser way for him than to continue in that course.

Work Is an outlet for the poison which pain ful thoughts and over-strong feelings generate. "Give me work." was the plea of a mother of three children who lost her husband by a sudden acute Illness. She did not need the money, but she needed the' physical surcease for grief. Women who have lost men In the war go to headquarters and beg to be al lowed to nurse wounded soldiers. They crave relief from their emotions by muscular exertion. Physical labor Is not only a curative measure for mental pain- but a pre ventive. A wholesome amount of physi cal activity every day keepe the pen dulum of the -Amotions from flying vloltntly In either direction. Many women suffer from "nerves" and other ailments because, the false Ideals Of dignity which they entertain do not allow them to do their own housework. Good, honest . sweeping, cooking, dish washing, would save these women rrom physical and moral disaster.

There Is no partisan Issue Involved, and the Democratic can didate's attitude undoubtedly reflects the attitude of the members of both parties. Personal campaigns are of doubtful value at any time, but they are worse than valueless now. They rep resent a waste which is inexcusable, and are only based upon a domestic dissen sion which does not or should not exist at the present time. Whatever our suspicions of ex-Gov ernor West may have been heretofore, we.-' have none now. He is. we believe. acting in entire good faith, and we re spect him for his magnanimity and his breadth of mind. He has, we think. done his part, and we have every rea son to believe Senator McNary will do his. as will the members of the two po litical parties within the state. Ragtag and Bobtail Stories From Everywhere Olden Oregon Seldom Has the Town Founder Been Bu-Je-JThan In Early Oregon. Between 1825 and 1144. 10 townsltes, including Portland, were started be tween Oregon City and Astoria, each of which was to be a great city. Every townsite proprietor had his unanswer able reasons why his town was to be the city. Opposite Oregon City the town of Linn, named after Senator linn of Missouri, was established In IMS. It maintained a precarious existence -un-4 til 1862. when it was washed away by floods. Just below Linn. Hugh Burns laid out a town which he named Mult nomah City. The town of Mllwaukle was founded by Lot Wbitcoms. Joseph Kellogg and Seth Luelllng. Below Port land, St Jobna was atanea in isau. in 1844 the town of Linnton was planned and platted by Peter Burnett and M. M. McCarver. The town of Milton was established p .1848 by- Captain Na thaniel Crosby near the mouth of Mil ton creek. It had a sawmill and a small population and at convenient boat landing. .

THE NEW GOVERNMENT OWNED TIL i ; tAUEM ur BUlTAUi WHEN the war began, England had ; an acute housing shortage, due largely, to her villainous habit of letting vacant land go untaxed, which meant . that speculators could hold It lndefl- -ntteiy in the face of public need, with out being agitated by "carrying ' charges." War brought feverish Indus- trial activity to certain localities where munitions were made, but the workers who streamed thither by tens of thou sands coujd find no living quarters, ex cept at famine prices that absorbed the - high wages. Consequently, tbe labor r turnover was excessively high, the out put was Inadequate, and speed could not be developed because the workers were coming and leaving so Incessantly. . So after trying several milder expedi ents, the British government proceeded " to go boldly forth and take large tracts . of land and build new towns beautiful, . spacious, healthful, slumless towns for the - munitions workers to live In. The greatest city planners and architects In Britain lent their services and the new towns represent " the best of that fascinating art The full story has- been published by the American Institute of Architects at , Washington. . a- a a There la Well, Hall, for Instance, la ' a green valley 'near the great Wool wich arsenal ! Permanent houses of four and six 1 rooms. In irregular groups, broken in their roof lines and varied in materials, stand around grassy quadrangles In such arrange ment that each house gets abundant sunshine and a spacious view. Tbe residential streets are little economical winding roads that curve with the con tours of the land and give interest to every vista. Even the fences, uniform throughout the town, are designed for beauty and the flagstones of the side walks, with their purposely Irregular edges, show the loving consideration of an artist There are generous play spaces for children, recreation halls for dances and movies and social games. and vegetable garden land for those ' who want It The towns are still a little bar in their stark newness, but ivy and grass and the soft English climate are working rapidly and they will be the xnost beautiful towns la Britain beautiful not merely to the visitor, but to the health statistician. to the lover of blooming childhood and to the lucky workers who find there the first decent homes they ever could afford. aaa . , a The largest of these new garden cities Is Gretna, on the Scotch border, with 18,000 people, all established en empty . moor in the last two yearn. There are " scores of such villages and the British. government having spent $700,000,000 on them. Is steadily building more. The . people living In them are numbered somewhere in the hundreds of thou sands. The British government owns them all every Inch of land, every house, every street every pipe and Ire. There are no houses for sale at any price, and for good reason ! The rents are low. If private persons could buy these houses, they would naturally advance the rentals to the maximum that the well-paid munitions workers could stand. High wages would thus be nullified by high rents and labor would get restless again I aaa The government took the land f or- these villages at the pre-war valua tion. The owner might protest that the coming of so many workers to the neighborhood and their desperate need for homes had . made a local boom In land values, but that made no differ ence to the government. That show how convenient It sometimes to for a nation to have no written constitution I And. to add insult to Injury, the gov ernment reserves the right to tajce any adjoining land it may need also at the pre-war value, regardless oi tne enect on values of the coming of the govern ment's pretty town. Having thus neat ly punctured tbe land boom, tt does not purpose to let these towns rail into the hands of private owners wbo would advance rentals to whatever they could get no matter how high, instead of keeping tbern on a basis of actual Investments no matter bow low. in other words, the workers, with the aid of a friendly far-sTghted government. have set up new cities without con ferring fortunes upon a lot of land speculators I a a a The government will not want to be landlord forever. So, after tbe war. It will sell thee towns at cost to the municipal governments or to, non-profit copartnership societies to be run for. the benefit or the tenants, private in dividual ownerships with the accom panying exploitation of tbe unearned Increment of land -value, will not be tolerated. Thus the towns will become self-owning towns,: with no private landlordism within their borders, and either with rent that are abnormally low or public revenues that are ab-. normally large. -.
