ALTA Tt)l).Y 'DOIW FIRST SEE WHATS IN THE CARDS ADVICE has often been given that the United States should either prepare to back a world wide machine for preserv ing peace and disarmament or it "should keep its own preparedness program working. It is good advice and it still holds. The weak spot in the Borah plan for disarmament isihat it .3 suggested on the heels of an election at which the American people are supposed to have voted lack of confidence in the League of Nations and its ambitions to insure peace and justice through the workings of the covenant. If it is dangerous to ex pect peace through the work of an effective organization how can any'sane individual expect safety from a slap stick arrange ment such as Borah suggests? If there was danger of British domination in the League of Nations that danger was less grave than the danger of British domination if without any league we tease navaf building. Great Britain has double the American naval strength at present but if our building program is contin ued until 1925 we wilh surpass Great Britain. Senator Borah who railed so much against the league covenant and "Britain's six Votes" would now place thus country in a position where it would have to permanently face British supremacy orf the Eea and do so without redress. Could anything be more fool hardy? The Borah plan is illtimed. This is not time to turn Quaker rnless we can first make sure of the rest of the nations will do likewise. Germany is obstreperous. The Greeks and Turks are at war and Russia is making elaborate preparations to fight someone in the spring. Furthermore the United States has not yet arrived at any conclusion as to what it will do regarding the League of Nations. At this time the attitude of the president elect is in doubt as far as the public knows. There are conflictingstories on lie subject. Our policy in this Tf spect should be thoroughly decided upon before the subject of armaments is taken up, Senator Borah is getting the cart ahead of the horse. The United States should either have peace insurance or prepardness and the issue should be squarely faced. A slob bering policy of disarmament before we know how the cards lay could easily bring disaster. , , editorVal'sparks: A subscriber who has sampled a good deal of the stuff pays the bootleg hootch offered for sale these days is high at any price.-Nashville Tennessean. ,;' U.

Life In early Oregon, while it may not have been as pleas ant as the living conditions of the present generation, with Its motor cars, electricity and other things now thought tq be essential to living, had some very distinct advantages. In a re cent publication of the Oregon Histori cal Society, some very interesting fig ures are given as to the cost of living In this state in about the year 18S7. The records Were those of Ewing Young, who was sent to California to bring back some cattle for the early settlers here, and were compiled by Dean F. G. Young, of the school ot so- siology of the University of Oregon. An accurate account of every expen diture was kept and submitted to the Willamette Cattle company, which was organized to bring the cattle to this state. The figures given show that while living expenses were small, wa ges were no larger In proportion. Modern conveniences. Buch as moving pictures and other luxuries, had not found their way Into the habits of the people and money went much further. Wages were never over a dollar a day, according to the figures given in the Young accounts. This is in mark ed contrast to the $4.50 a day which is now paid for the most unskilled kinds ot labor. Costs were not out of proportion to wages, however, and a saddle Is listed at t2.35. A good sad dle these days will bring around Jo0. Further on, a-ope is listed at 25 cents: forty pounds of pork 'was pur chased for 10 cents a pound; wheat could be bought for 60 cents a bushel, while the present price is near 12.00. Board could be had for about it per month. Clothing prices as shown by the ac counts were but a small part of the amounts charged at the present time for wearing " apparel. A pair1 of shoes was bought "for $2; a shirt could be had for 60 cents; "pantaloons" brought around 14 a pair, although in some instances they are priced as low as S?.40 No cases were recorded where articles cost over the present prices, the whole account showing that a man could buy more at the earlier date With his day's wages than he could at present.

UNIWERSITY OF OREGON, Eu gene, Jan. 20. A manuscript of 60 poems, entitled "The Singing Road" has been submitted to the Extension Division of the University of Oregon, by Verne Bright, a correspondence student residing near Beaverton, Ore gon. In two respects, at least, he re sembles Robert Burns he is a far mer and. he gets Jiis Inspiration from nature., "When I am not a plough boy," -he says, "I read and write po etry." He has had his Verses publish ed In Life, Smart Bet, Overland Montthly, and the Portland Specta tor. Many of his poems have genuine merit and much promise, acording to the Extension Division who cite the fresh point of view In the following poem, entitled "Futility.": "He gathered stones from the brown . sea! shore . To build a high gray wall. I asked him 'Why do you build 'your wall so high?' He said: 'To shut out the spring.' But he had forgotten to cut down the trees And burn the ground inside his wallf So spring came with all her little, leaves And God smiled, Ar, do we When a littln child - Tries to build a sand wall on the sea shore ' Which the first wave crumbles."
