THE PERVERSE IMP OP POLITICS

!' Radicalism it not constructive but destructive,
a well-known political writer.
4 Radicalism never cleared a farm of rocks or stumps, never
planned or ; constructed a railroad, never launched a merchant
lleet, ever opened or operated mines for the production of

title, or does it belong to the lit
tle lady who is warbling "A Per

which and why?
The biggest thing that is going on now for the everlasting
benefit and the enduring influence and prestige of Salem is the
canvass for the million and a quarter fund for Willamette
University.' Crowned with success, this effort will put this in
stitution permanently onto its feet as one of the most efficient
of the educational forces of the whole country; and in such a
position as to keep it expanding in fine service and widening
influence through all the years of the future.
It will be a great victory, if the ship subsidy bill is success
ful in Congress. The people of coming times will point to this
consummation as the greatest of the Harding administration,
for it will keep the Stars and Stripes on the seven seas, and
carry American' commerce and influence to every port where
the trade winds blow. There is no one thing that could pos
sibly do more for thematerial welfare of the people of the
United States; and no one thing that has larger promise for
both the stabilization and the moral good of the world.
'Laws for the punishment of
crime shall be founded on the
principles of reformation, and
not of vindictive Justice. So
reads a rection of the Oregon con

observed. In the case of the peni

without employment for a'l men

There must also be provision for

his visit he should whisper sweet
nothings into our ears.
With fierce and dramatic de
termination the old fellow repu
diated the suggestion that he coo
like a dove; he swears, fiercly,
that he intends to continue bel
lowing about our sins of commis
rion and omission to our very
faces.
The truth is. M. Clemeneeau
only half-understands the Ameri
can people.
Probably no nation ever went
into a war with ideals so unselfish
and uplifted as these young
United States, when they rushed
to the herp of the allies.
We poured In money, treasure,
lova. sympathy and the sweet,
scarlet blood of our sons.
After it was all over we waited
for the applause; to tell the truth,
we thought we had done nobly and
well.
We were stunned with surprise,
when the smoke of the battle had
drifted away, to be told that we
were a greedy bunch of money
grabbers; that we had waited un
til the dangers were all over;
then rushed in to try to claim
the glory; that we not only did
nothing to help win the war, but
that we helped to save the Ger
mans from their Just deserts.
Lastly, that we have an awful
nerve to expect to get our money
back.
There was a moment when this
country stood stunned hurt re
sentful.
Then we laughed.
As long as he continues to be
entertaining in his criticisms It
does not matter what Clemenceau
says about us. The measure of
our immunity is the delight that
the nation has felt in his tongue-
laEhing. Nothing so gayly inter
esting and piquant has happened
on these shores for a long time.

Uncle Sam will continue to show

flicted and the forsaken; and con

not ride under wraps.

Suddenly they stopped talking,
for they heard voices Just out
Side the window. Fred and his
fother were having a big argu
ment. "Any more trouble like
this," threatened Fred's fother,
"and you'll have to get rid ot
those goats. That's al! there is
to it. Mrs. Atkins was simply
furious. She says Jeanne had
worn that straw hat of hers only
a few times last summer and it
was as good as new, and an ex
pensive leghorn at that."
"Well," answered Fred sul
lenly, "Paul Atkins said we could
have it. And we cut it down
to fit Willie, so's it was spoiled
anyway before he ate the old
hat."
"Just try telling that to her
Now mind what I said."
Willie wandered into the barn
He glared at Willie Goat and
sent a kick in his direction
which Willie dodged. "Now we
can't use their garage any more,'
he stormed. "Don't see -what we
had to have that old goat in it
for anyway."
"Hit, did you say?" tittered
Nancy.
