Is it not possible to get the Oregonian and the legislature to act on a proposition merely because it is for the public welfare, or is it necessary to show them that the scheme means something to some cor poration or some corporation lawyer? These are fair questions in view of the turn affairs are taking. mm m CONDUCT OF THE FRENCH "It RANCE has had no Dress Dtopoganda in defense of her con duct because she has needed no defense." said M. Hovelac- que, a distinguished French scholar speaking in San Fran cisco. The remark was justified. Of all the nations at war no country has a record so clean as France. To begin with France did not make war. That country was attacked and lit erally forced to fight. In every way is the French attitude admirable. No vain- jrlorious claims have ever come i'orth from the French war of licc. As far as paper victories iind accomplishments are con cerned Paris has been outdist anced by Pctrograd, Berlin, Ixmdon, Vienna and Rome. Hut the French have done the most noteworthy thing of the war. They blocked the inarch to Paris. They did that despite the fact the Germans were extremely well prepared and thought themselves invin- ible. They have been that in this war except when they have met the immovable ob ject in the form of the French defense. Ijist year when Von Kluck was driven back from his ad vance toward the French cap ital most of the reports receiv ed in America led to the im pression that the English troops, with some assistance Irom the French soldiery, did ' the work.

Legal of ficers of the government who have been consulted by Attorney-General Gregory concerning the opinion re quested by the secretary of war on the right of an army officer to resign SUFFRAGISTS WHO SOUGHT OUT PRESIDENT DELIGHTS OF CAMPIN'G Ol.T. (From Leslie's.) The camper out who is a real lov er of nature will enjoy roughing it.ln woods or on lake or seashore, but be should first make sure that his phy sical condition renders It safe for him to undertake the venture. When In camp, every care should be taken to avoid needless exposures and to ob serve the plain rules of health. Out fits "hould be selected and modes of living In camp should be planned un der advice of some experienced per son, and It would be well If such a one could be a member of the camp company. A camping party should not be large; a few congenial com panions are better than a crowd of unrtwslmilated people. Properly pre pared for and wisely carried out, a brief sojourn in tent or cabin In the wilds should build up the average man or woman in bodily and mental health and vigor and supply a fund of pleasant recollections and good spirits for months succeeding. Not a few hard workers In various fields Bttrlbute their Btaylng power and suc cess to the Invigorating effect of their annual hark back to wild nature. To those requiring a complete change of surroundings this plan commends It self as a means beyond compare of restoring wornout nerves and Jaded minds. I (From the Detroit News.) German sailors on steamships .which are held up in New York have, 'several of them, gone mad. Idleness and homesickness are the causes, hos. i pital authorities say. Homesickness finds strange vic tims. Army surgeons know that sometimes it kills. Often it Is the man without a regular home who is most subject to nostagilia. This dis turbance of soul, mind and body set tles down upon the plegmatlc, the burly, the thick-skinned. It takes them under sunny skies amid the earth's best loveliness and they moan for dirty streets where they played in childhood. Idleness breeds homesickness and active diversion cures It. It Is akin to melancholia and comes In myste rious ways. Probably It arises from the biological Impulse Intended to anchor man in one place long enough for him to take root. Its opposing in.tini t Is the wanderlust. Kxplorers have confessed that the worst homesicknessness they have known was In the first few hours and days of their return. In familiar sur roundings the marks of time's Inex orable progress were painfully appar ent. Changes, small and large, tor tured them by reminders of the pre cious past. Home have turned in despondent revulsions to take up their roamlnga again. " ? , I - ?4 ' If f?i I''' f THK CATBIRD. (The Indianapolis News.)

Here are the two suffragists who sought an Interview with President Wilson In New York during the re cent review of the Atlantic fleet. They Invaded the Hotel Biltmore for the purpose of presenting a petition and succeeded In reaching Secretary Tu multy. "We must have an answer. Don't let him evade us again," they said. "Ladles, you are impolite," said the president's secretary. "I refuse to deliver your letter." OSccmnD "Very well,' they said, "we will wait and give It to him ourselves." The Indignant guard edged further and further back, crowding the suf fragists Into a comer of the corridon When the president appeared, how ever, they jumped on a divan, waving their letters over the heads of the police crying, "Votes for Women!" Preslent Wilson laughed. His good nature cleared the air, and turned what might have been an unpleasant disturbance Into a trifling Incident, so far as he was concerned. mm lilOTEin!
