Including roasted, fricasseed.

I've whlled away dyspeptic

And In the lowly cottage I've
experienced codfish balls;
But I've never found a viand
that could so allay all
grief
And soothe the cockles of the
heart as rare roast beef.
I honor the sagacious king who
In a grateful mood,
Knighted the savory loin that
on the royal table stood;
And as for me I'd ask no better
friend than this good
roast,
Which Is my squeamish stom-

For with this ally with me I
can .mock Dyspepsy'a

Can I pursue the Joy of Wls-

So I doff my vest and let my
waistband out a reef
When I soever set me down to

It is reported from Salem that Gov
ernor Wlthycombe will not press the
legislature to submit
The Governor an amendment giving
Should Lewd, the governor power
to remove district at
torneys and sheriffs when it is found
they axe not doing their duty. The
governor seems to have taken a gen
era! "hands off attitude with refer
ence to legislation save for the for
mal recommendations made in bis
meyw&f e.
This is the historic conception of
the governorship and it is an attitude
many people still approve. It is the
old original theory that the executive
and legislative departments are each
distinct and separate and that nei
ther should encroach upon the other.
The modern view however, is that
the executive should not be a mere
bystander when the legislature la at
work but that he should be the lead
er, both in theory and reality. Under
this theory the executive is the very
hub cf the legislative wheel and he
takes the responsibility of leadership.

There la sense In this because the
People as a whole elect the governor,
they pay him a regular salary and ex
pect him to stand vigorously for their
Interests. If his party is In control
they Judge him by the record the leg
lslature makes whether he likes it or
not, so it bestirs him to take a hand
In one of the most Interesting
speeches he ever made President 'Wil
son explained his theory of this sub
Ject very clearly. The view is that
our constitution is evolutionary, not
a mere mathematical arrangement. It
comes under the Darwin principle
rather than under the Newton philo
sophy. This theory is sound and it
applies as much to state government
as to national government.
The people expect and they have a
right to expect the governor to take
the helm. He and the other mem
bers of the state board are In better
position than anyone else to know
the needs of the state. The legisla
ture la always more or less of a hit
or miss affair; the legislators getting

virtually no pay and many of them
not caring whether they be reelected
or not If the governor does not look
out for the general interests of the
state there Is no one to do so and
misgovernment Is almost inevitable.
This Is not saying Governor Wlthy
combe Is going to be a bystander
governor. Reports point that way but
they may not be accurate and besides
the governor Is new in office and it
Is too early to form very strong con
clusions as to his course. But If he
will take the leadership view rather
than the bystander view he will, be
more in accord with the spirit of the
times and he will be able to do more
for the state.

Why Bhould any man protest
against straightening that road lead
ing to the bridge
A Protest That above town. In its
Is Absurd. present shape that
piece of road is a
monstrosity. It is dangerous in the
extreme and always will be such as
long as it remains. It Is admitted the
trldge must be replaced, then why
not provide for a decent approach?
It will be absurd not to do so.
Economy advise Is alright but it
should be based on common sense.
The county should not spend a dollar
needlessly and experience has shown
that when it buys bridges or other
material It Is well to keep an eye
peeled for grafting. Nor should fixed
expenses ever be Increased without
sound reason.
But it Is not necessary for Umatil
la county with its $48,000,000 assess
ment, with one of the lowest tax levies
In the state and with unprecedented
prices prevailing for wheat to be so
parslmonlaufl It cannot eliminate a
veritable death trap when that trap
exists on the most frequently used
piece of road In the county.
When protest Is made against such
a needed Improvement mat win cosi
so little the economy Dug s Deing
overworked.
It Is a condition and not a theory
which confronts the country In rela
tion to the govern
Olwtnictlon or ment ship-purchase
Conrtrurtion? bill. The statement
of facts submitted to
the senate by Secretaries McAdoo and
Redfield is provided by shippers in
the export trade by men who know
the conditions.
rtat" on staple products to Euro
pean ports are up from 50 to 00 per
cent over what they were before the
war. They are prohibitive on some
lines of exportation. They are bur
densome on all other lines. There Is
a lack of freight room, regardless of
rates, in many cases and in a variety
of directions. Including South Amer
ica. What la the country going to do
about this situation which is prevent
ing a full resumption of American in
dustry? We can advise the obstructive re
publican minority In the senate of
what the country will not do. It will
not back up the Burton-Lodge-Root
filibuster in trying to kill off the ad
ministration's plan of relief unles
they offer some more effective plan
In its stead. It will not support a
mere policy of negation against direct
government effort to provide lower
rates and more ship room. It will
least of all support such a policy as
a mask for a subsidy raid on the
treasury. ',
Do any of the senators named think
they can talk the republican' party
back into power on a policy of do
nothing when the country .cries oul
that something be done?
A solid measure of relief from this
war-burden upon American industrj
Is within reach. The administration
presents a plan which can admittedly
be made effective in large degree.
What Is the opposition plan? Just
filibuster? New York World.

Privilege believes in partisanship

privilege is no respector of partlaan

shown In the fight over the ship pur

thoxe seven treacherous democrats to
work with their obstructive republi
cans. On the other hand the admin
istration seems to be finding support
from progressive republicans that
will make up for the defect. It will
be a natural alignment because the
republicans of the Jjo. Follette type
really believe with the administration

LESSONS IN RIGHT LIVING
A normal, clean mouth which la
an exceedingly rare condition cer
tainly requires no disinfecting as part
of the dally toilet, no chemical disin
fecting at any rate. A diseased, neg
lected mouth which Is a very com
mon factor of 111 health should be
disinfected frequently. The mouth
cavity, under certain familiar condi
tions, makes an Ideal place for the
culture of disease germs. The condi
tions are (1) decayed teetfl, (2) dis
eased gums, (3) diseased tonsils, (4)
adenoids and (5) nasal catarrh.
In a clean mouth the natural se
cretions, the mucous saliva and cel
lular elements given off from the mu
cous membrane, particularly over the
tonsils exercise an adequate germi
cidal Influence for all ordinary needs.
In a clean mouth the teeth are sound,
the tonsils are healthy, the gums are
pink and firm, the breath odorless.
If our regular diet were sufficiently
varied to Include plenty of fresh
vegetables, especially green garden
truck, even the toothbrush would be
a questionable luxury. In other wordi
If mastication were as thorough as It
should be, the teeth would not decay.
Mastication is the natural way to
clean the teeth and nature furnishes
the best of brushes.
But our diet Is refined for us be
fore the materials reach the table
white flour milled to a degree which
renders mastication not worth while;
sugar extracted from the original
cane, bleached, powdered and per
supplied ready dissolved; cereals re
fined to the point where they defy
mastication.
Under the stress of modern civiliza
tion It Is doubtful whether vegetarian
Ism would keep the race at Its pres
ent state of mental and physical effi
ciency. There la no question, how
ever, that many Individuals profit
mentally and physically by a diet
which Is practically free from ani
mal protein. The vegetarian races
of the world always have fine teeth.
What Is a good mouth wash or
dentifrice for dally use?
If there Is trouble with the teeth or
gums the dentist or physician should
prescribe a suitable preparation for
each Individual. But for general
cleanliness nothing Is . better than
plain soap. Almost any standard
toilet soup will do. It tastes as agree
able If not more agreeable than most
of the highly advertised "antiseptic"
articles. A mouth thoroughly washed
with soap and water Is about as clean
as It can be made by any means short
of strong chemical disinfectants ap
plied by the dentist or doctor. Soap
Is aklaline, detergent, nongrltty, mild
ly antiseptic, nonmedlcated what
more could be suld of a mouth wash?
Moreover, It Is cheap as well as ef
ficient and that Is something we can
not say of the popular preparations
sold under that magic and mislead
ing description, "antiseptic."

GLANCES AT HISTORY
NAI'OLlX)N THE BOY.
In the year 1779, 10 years before
the first violent outbreak of the
French revolution, a young boy who
had not yet reached hl$ 10th birth
day came to the military school at
Iirlenne. Ills schoolmates were told
that he had come from the remote la
land of Corsica and that his name
was Napoleon Bonaparte. They mock
ed at his barbarous accent and made
cruel sport of his poverty.
The lad bravely endured their
taunts although now and then his an
ger flamed out and he fought his tor
mentors. Gradually he began to seek
refuge from persecution in books,
which he read omnlvorously. He
grew to hate the French and said that
he never could forgive his father for
the part he had played In uniting Cor
sica to France. Yet this boy was to
grow Into the man who was to do
more than any man had ever done
In carrying the renown of France ov
er all the world. The schoolmates
and teachers who could not conceal
their contempt for the lad were to
chance had placed them at Brlenne
when young Napoleon was there.
Napoleon Bonaparte was born at
Ajaccio, the principal town of Corsi
ca, on August 15, 1869.' His ances
tors, probably of Italian stock, had
been for more than 260 years upon
the Island. Although desperately
poor, his parents were recognized as
among the Corslcan aristocracy, and
there Is reason to believe that their
social standing was higher than that
of nny other family In Ajaccio.
But pre-eminence In remote Cor
sica was of little value to the boy
when he went to France to be edu
cated. For nearly olght years he did
not see Corsica nor his mother, a
long and bitter exile for a boy so
young. When he was ready for ser
vice, he narrowly escaped going Into
the navy, but he was finally passed
Into the artillery branch and sent to
the academy at Paris. He had al
ready given confidence of his future
career by his passionate study of mil
itary annals and his eagerness to
read every book upon - history and
geography that he could secure.
When he went Into the army, how
ever, at the age of 16, he seemed to
have little chanco to realize nny of
his ambitions. He had little Influ
ence, which then counted much
more than did merit In getting ad
vancement. He could not -dissipate
discover in after years that their only
claim to distinction was the fact that If he would, for his pay amounted to
leas than IS a week. His father wis
dead and he knew that his mother
was often In actual need. The future
must Indeed have looked gray to the
youth who could forsee only poselbla
retirement at middle age on half pay
with hardly enough money to live up
on.
Hut the youth refused to content'
himself with these hopeless visions
He read Plutarch Instead and imag
ined himself In turn each of the he
roes that are so glowingly portrayed
In the writings of the Greek biograph
er. He dreamed the wildest dreams,
making them almost fantastic In the
power that he Imagined In his hands.
Then he would cooly ponder over tl4
steps he must take to make these
dreams come true. And all the while
Fate was gathering the forces for the
French revolution that were to make
his most improbable visions appear
pallid beside the glittering reality that
was to be his.
