FREEDOM FOR ALL OREGON WILL HAVE TO MUDDLE THROUGH - ."What do you think of holding an assembly in Oregon, to make the nominations for stata of f ices ?" inquired a well in formed Salem man yesterday; one jwho has'the best interests of his adopted commonwealth at heart f" - " , For it should have been said in the first paragraph that he s a new comer; that he has not lived in Oregon through the! past twenty years. " That is obvious to old timers. iOnce upon a time, when the direct primary law was new in Oregon; and when it was considered sacred by a large part of our people, there was a state assembly, held in Portland, to pick candidates of the Republican party for state offices , And you can find very few men now who are willing to openly avow the fact that they participated in the proceed ings leading up to that assembly, or were members of, the body itself For the very idea was anathema maranatha to a large number of the friends of the pee-pul, who said in a very loud tone! of voice, and repeated the shouts many, many times, that the right of the dear people to nominate their own candidates for office was being trampled under the feet of the bosses that, in fact, the accursed old boss system was being foisted upon this fair state, in worse form than it had m a il . . m l nounanea wnen ine lmiiauve ana me reierenaum ana tne direct primary were invoked to forever put a quietus upon the awful thing, that smelled to heaven, and id genus omne. ! So thf. ienderffint. xvhh feet are tint, verv tendpr. pithpr. but are somewhat webbed by this time, for he has been a citizen of Oregon for eight; or ten years, was informed that an assembly in Oregon will not likely be held for some little time :;:.; -.

The legal act of rat,y: tion must evidently be done by another body composed ot ail the members Selected to the House of Commons front Ireland.) But what House of Commons? If it is tne new House of the Irish Free State, then it has not yet come into existence and it cannot function until it is elected. These complications, however, are not bkejy to destroy the hope of ah Irish settlement, in view of theiad, tfertme Cork county council favors the treaty. Cork is to Irdand today almost jwhat Boston was to the Awwnetoj J 1775. The outlook is so bright for peace mddute that we may inow recall the conversation some 0 years ago between Mr. Dooley and Mr. Ilennessy: "I wbrjdher will England iver free Ireland ?' asked Mr''W?erid Mr. Dooley. "What talk j have ye? No man wants it that way. England will piver free Ireland, but some day, if we make it mthrestin enough f'r her, she'll have to free England iv Ireland. An that'll be all right' I , That was! a prophecy of singular interest. Things are working but much as Mr. Dooley foresaw. England is free ing herself of Ireland and there will be freedom for all.

In a number of other states the fever has run its course, and the direct primary laws have been amended, or are on the toboggan. But this is not for Oregon yet. " The old boss system was bad. But the direct primary system is worse, on the average. What Oregon needsis a political Moses, who will lead our people through the wilder- ground between, the accursed boss system and the ignis f atuus yclept the direct primary. It is all vofy well to predict prosperity during 1922 but among other things to contribute to this happy result I are more work, economy and enforcement of law and order.

This service is one of the best possible -illustrations of bow the marines for nearly 150 years have been used effectively in civil affairs, entirely aside from their glorious record as combat organizations in every war, afloat and ashore. It isn't a question whether we favor prohibition, :but whether we are for the enforcement of the law. There ought to be no doubt where every good citizen will stand.

ALICE IN WONIERLAXI Miss Alice Robertson, spinster congresswoman front Oklahoma) antl-suffragtst, solitary represen tative in congress of the sex she doesn't consider needs represen ting, and a "Christian, an Ameri can and a Republican" by public declaration, has : announced -the intention of standing for re-election. And if she; is re-elected It will bs by the men or the other anti-suffragist ladles who once did not consider that any woman should ever be elected or have the privilege of helping elect anyone to that august body of the govern ing elect. The National Woman's party will oppos her virulently, chiefly because she has antagon izad specific feminine legislation and has insisted upon Toting like a staid dyed-in-the-wool old guard Kcpuoiican woo ""j ---for "these meddling women." The situation Is decldedty entertaining- Alice, who professed to' abhor the" idea of women in politic, waged as an anti a goaS polftic&l f ght against female po- iitical rights. She admits that the keenest disappointment of her career was the suffragist victory, wbenthe men of Oklahoma gal lantly admitted that "women were people" and as comparatively in telligent as themselves, and con ferred the vote upon them. But she accepted the new "burden" with su(h fortitude that she de cided if there had to be women legislators, she, an anti, would make about the best there was. She put this idea over so success fully that she 'was elected by a sizeable majority. But after this she was quite ' sohsistent. She acte"d as nearly like a man of ths magnificently prejudiced old school as she possibly could. She has opposed every feminist meas ure that has come up, given out interviews upholding the general 3uperiority of masculinity, blamed the women for most of the im morality of the day, their clothes, their habits, their tastes gener ally,, and insisted that when a hubby went astray it was usually his wife's fault. No wonder the women voters stand aghast at her effrontery! Here she is,; hopelessly out of date, holding the up-to-datest job Queen Victoria on the throne regretting that women shouM "seek power and away," when they should (crave nothing but to "love, serve, honor and obey." And, incidentally, Queen Victoria got away wfth it, too. So Alice, by scorning, won her way into Wonderland; but, as far as Oklahoma is concened, she means to hold the citadel against ail yearnful feminine comers and -tee to it, as far as lies In her pow er, that no other pernicious mem ber of her sex gets into a place to bring women into contumely. She has met the caterpillar and eaten of the mushroom, that, you will recall, so enlarged the other Alice's growth that she couldn't get out. It remains to be seen whether someone will pass her a new bite from the other side in the election, which will make her grow so small that her friends will have difficulty in finding her again, as also happened to the other Alicj- ' ! : But after all, Miss Alice has been thoroughly,, joyously femi- nfne in her new masculine role not feminist, but feminine.

Hammesstahr i I j All-around basketball star; bas ketball chairman, Amateur Ath letic Federation; vice-president Athletic Officials association, Chi cago district. , . ! . ! . "H IP do not know what 2 position in basketball you are made for give them all a try," ; says Mr. : Hammesfahr. "When .' you find Ihe place that suits you, stick to it.M . . '.i Probably! the most important position on the basketball team Is that of center. He is the pivot man of the plays.- He is to the basketball team what the quarter back U to the football team the director of the play. l Generally, the center Is a tall man. This is so because it usually is tnore likely that a Ull man, ; because of his height, has more chance to -get tba Jump" on the opposing center, thus getting the iali la the hands ot his teammates from the start ot the play. There are ; some very good ; Jumpers among; players of shorter suture, however, and, not alway, u the center the tallest man oa the ' team. ' . . - . -. : ';: ' Is "Uve-wire ' . The center must 'cover Tarts of tbe floor.- He has no rlvi en. territory. For. this reason he must be quick' on hla feet. He should take - exercise that will keep, the muscles of his body, es pecially those of his legs, in good condition. Stooping, with the hands on the hips, and raising the bended knee high are both good developers of leg muscles. The abdominal muscles should be well developed, too, because the center must remain, in his half of the circle when jumping for the ball, and not commit a foul by jumping on bis opponent. A center should have good reach with the hand that taps the' ball. Shoulder control must be acquired, also, so that it is possi ble to reach up the one arm with out moving the other. (Middle fig ure of the illustration shows the correct jumping position.) Swing ing of Indian clubs, dumbbells, and work wrtb. pully weights, will develop the shoulder muscles. . Just as conditions during the game require, the center is either an offensive or defensive player. When his team has the ball h plays on the offensive, but; when the opponents secure thei bail, than he shifts to the defensive play. Because he does play both offensive and defensive, the cen ter roust be ready tor any and every emergency. '"' Pam Accurately"1,",)'-' . He should know how to shoot baskets.. And; above all, he should be able to pass the ball to his teammates with great accuracy. Learn 'to pass the ball with I eitber one hand or both. The sin gle-handed pass is illustrated by the figure on the right side of the above picture. The two-handed pass is shown on the left side. At first your two-hand throw may be awkward, bu constant practiee will makta it seem less so. Summing It all up, the center should be an all-around good player, a good jumper, and a man who can keep his wits in tense moments. Do you think you will fill the requirements?

FOO A POfKTURci f ,J- iini I TOGAS FOR TWO Next November the voters of Pennsylvania will choose two United States senators instead of one. The death of Boies Penrose followed unhappily fast upon that of Philander C. Knox. Physically Penrose was the bulkiest member of the senate. Knox was possibly the smallest. Mentally both were g'ants, although their minds oper ated on variant lines. Senator Penrose was admittedly the War wick of the Republican party. He might make presidents, but he could never hope to be master of the White House In his own name He was vigorous and sincere in his partisanship. He was a Republl can first, last and all the time Being regular was the thing that counted and the party organiza tion was to him greater than any man or group. From a partisan standpoint the Republican organ ization has lost its most valuab! asset. let tt will survive and possibly climb to greater eights As a senator, Boies Penrose waa a mighty force for his state and the cause he represented. He was a power of the first magnitude He was a splendid and faithful product of Pennsylvania public life. After the death of Senator Knox the governor of Pennsyl vania gave the interim appoint ment to William E. Crowe. Next November the people will definit ely decide the selection of .two senators. . HAVE YOUR EYES EXAMINED A comm'ttee of engineers head ed by Herbert Hoover has pre pared a report on the elimination of waste in American industry which contains ' startling facts about eyes. : The workman whose eyes are inefficient is doing inefficient work, no matter " how conscien Uous he may-be. That is a Po- per premise. On this is. piled the fact, according to this survey, that 25,000,000 American workers have subnormal vision. This is estimated to be half of all the ; - men and women engaged in gain ful occupations. This is a clear case of indus trial waste through ignorance and neglect. It can b? corrected by proper cooperation between industrial managers and workers. This national report sajs one thing clearly: Get your eyes ex amined, j .
