It signifies that a umtea opain wiu ce cenina -uie new wujucuv, - one. of the best assurances it could have of stability and .permanence. Catalonia has long been the seat of discord. There the Carlist thrusts for return i I the- throne were lAiinehed. There the Spanish "socialists have Taised re lated disturbances- There disaffection with the royal pow er of the Bourbons has been Catalonia is not merely, a part of Spam. In fact the Catalonians declare themselves quite independent of Spain in language in racial origin and in literature. It does have An identity which has not been lost in its five centuries under the Spanish crown. Catalonia occupies the northeast ern triangle of the Spanish peninsula, from the river Ebro to the Pyrenees. Barcelona is its principal city, and the center for decades both of Spanish industry and of the rev olutionary movement. 1 . , r The people speak their own language, distinct from the Spanish, resembling more the speech of Languedoc on the French side of the Pyrenees. They are lighter in complex ion, with less of the admixture of Moorish blood than other parts of Spain. . Catalonia was long the corridor -of; conquest. .Rome worked its way around the Mediterranean coast to place its eagles at Saguntum. Hannibal from the Carthaginian prov ince of lower Spain started his armies which seized Sagan tum, crossed the Ebro, -marking definite invasion of the Roman empire, traversed Catalonia, scaled the Pyrenees, the Alps and swept down into Italy to conquest and to de feat. After, the Punic wars Catalonia was an important part of the Roman empire. Then came the Goths, rude barbar ians from the north, who built a kingdom in Spain on the ruins of Roman power. The Moors swept up from the south, hot with the religious fury of Mohammed. They seized Cat alonia in 712. forcing many of its inhabitants across the Pyrenees, holding it until 788 when . Charlemagne bore the banners of France and the cross to the relief of the con quered Christians. Finally the province became an appanage of Aragon, and when Ferdinand of Aragon was wed to Isa bella of Castile, founding the modern Spanish kingdom,1 Catalonia, much against its will, was merged under the unified government.. ' - With Catalonia loyal to the "new republic, with the thrifty, business-like citizens of Barcelona supporting the new regime, there is much of promise for Spain, which within the week has thrown off the incubus of five centuries of royal mis-rule. Time alone will tell "how solid the new government will be, and how firm will -be .the affections of the independent-minded Catalonians. j - . , . - -if' ' ' ' .' J; .. ..." I ., i' I ':: Publicity They Love It FRANK R. KENT of the Baltimore-Sun is as acute an ob server and severe a critic as the political scene has had for many years. He is one among the political writers who retains His attitude of aloofness. Usually the reporter soon er or later becomes the protagonist either of party or of in dividual coming into the favor of himself or the paper he is writing for. Nojt so with Kent, who writes like a judge, yet r ,with the devastating style of a free lance journalist. : Speaking in Washington before the society of American newspaper editors, Kent declared that publicity, newspaper publicity, is what public officials crave, I and not merely publicity, but favorable publicity. Careers are founded on publicity. Publicity does not mean necessarily, editorial fav or, but news attention. The public draws its own conclusions more from the news columns than sthe editorial columns. Its reactions come from the account of events rather than intelligent analysis of the events and the motives which the editorial page supplies. The difficulty for the public man of course is to analyze tne publicity he is getting. He is. naturally flattered by the friendly news articles; while the sharp criticism he either refuses to read or to heed. True it is, he cannot chart his course by what the newspapers say, for their voice is di vided. The successful politician is one who correctly ap praises the public reaction to the publicity which his actions " receive. . The important thing to be noted from the Kent com ment is that newspaper publicity Temains the dominant force in molding public opinion. People may say they do not believe what they read in the papers. But if they read it often enough they will not only believe it but act upon it. May we add the further footnote that never in our his tory was newspaper reporting so pbjecti ve, and so little partisan as at the present time. .; " :-.: 4 ' fy' ; v r ,"f Join the Life-Savers AN eleven-year old boy, Jimmie Hargreaves, who lives at Yakima, saw a little red cap floating in an irrigation ditch through that city last Thursday. He recognized the cap as belonging to a little neighbor boy of 18 .months, so he ran along the ditch and sure enough there was the boy being carried along in the current. Jimmie -reached down and pulled the boy out of the water, turned him over his knee to get the water out of his lungs and used artificial respiration to get his lungs to working.

In adults with, this condition, there is no alteration in 1 the breathing. But in children with laryngitis the first sign is van ally that of difficulty in breath ing. This is due to the inflamma tion of the throat but often it is so misleading as to be mistaken for croup. ;' ' la treatinr this condition, it is most essential that the larynx be put to rest. There must be no un necessary talking and, above alt. no smoking. In severe cases it is best to re main in bed. The room should be keDt at an even temperature and the air saturated with moisture. This is accomplished by placing a pan of water over the radiator or on the stove.

I Who indeed allow depreciation on their religious doctrines, or on their prejudices? What should be the, yardstick of this depreci ation? What are the elementa of value which are enduring, which really increase with time and universal acceptance? We cannot measure deprecia tion of our beliefs after the man ner of the machine. For the lat ter there may be the rule of ten percent or five percent; for ! the former there may be appreciation instead.- Or there may suddenly come the element of obsolesence an ancient belief suddenly be comes 100 antiquated.

On Tuesday, August 18th, 1840, tak ing with him saddle and pack anl mala and camp equipment, he started south, accompanied by Rev. Gustarus Hines, Dr. Elijah White and an Indian boy tor guide, whom they called "Cap tain." They galloped away from the old mission after a late start and "came 10 miles, to "where ground had been broken for the mission saw and grist mills." (To what was to be Salem.) They traveled over the hills southward and arrived at "San- tlam'a Fork" of the Willamette swam their horses across that stream, and camped tor the night under a treat tree on the south side Proceeding southward, they later swam the Willamette, and on Friday, the 2 1st, nooned on "Bridge creek." so called because a California party had thrown a rude bridge across the stream. It is now called the Sluslaw. The California party was no doubt Michel LaFrambolse's Spanish bri gade, of the Hudson's Bay com' pany. The next day at Elk creek they left I the "California trait," the northward extension ot El Camino Real the king's highway of the Spanish missions. On Monday, the 24th, they arrived at Fort Umpqua and were welcomed kind ly by "Gonea" and his Indian wife, in charge there. I mis is the spelling of Hines; others used a different form tor Gonea.)

Dr. White and Jason Lee had had a disagreement, of which much was made. It was no doubt caused. among other things, by a differ ence of opinion on the manage ment of the missions. Here is quoted the following excerpts from Dr. (and Mrs.) White's book, "Ten Years In Oregon:" V V "Dr. White was accompanied by an.

They retraced their lonely way over the mountain; . . . found an encampment for the night. They built a fire beside a log and stretched themselves on the ground; but the doctor could not drive from his mind the Idea that he was 100 miles from any of his own race, and in the midst of, for aught he knew, hostile tribes, and It dissipated the repose his weary form so much coveted. "About sunrise they were arous ed by a , light, quick tread, and, to their alarm, discovered advancing- towards them, on the last night's trail, half dozen well armed Indians. Springing to their feet, they grasped the guns which lay beside theta, and stood pa the guard; but soon saw there was no occasion for appre hension, for the leader came for ward, trailing his weapon, and proffered his hand with the grace of a well bred Frenchman. His companions followed his example, and then quietly seated themselves on the ground. They said they had heard the missionaries were in the country, seeking tor a place to settle; that they were glad, and had come to seek and welcome them, but. being unable to find them, had discovered the trail th day before and followed it.

But gradually, as it often is in other countries, one by one they lost their first im pressions, till, as he expressed It. pointing to his little number, 'all but tnese have left me. and the good and the right way.'

When the time for separation ar rived, the little company knelt in prayer to the Great Father, and the doctor observed with interest the humble, devoted bearing of his visitors, and their emotions, as they listened to the words of suppUcatlon.
