TROOPS IN SIBERIA.
We have received from an army
recruitine office "the substance of
an official statement recently made
by President Wilson with regard to
.American troops in Siberia."
' According to this statement.
American troops were first sent to
Siberia tor tba purpose ot aiding
the Czecho-Slovak armies that bad
formed there and were in danger
from "hostile" armies "apparently
organized" and "often composed of
enemy prisoners of war." Another
purpose was to "steady any efforts
ot the- Russians at self-defense," or
the "establishment of law' and or
der in which they might be willing
to accept assistance."
Still farther on it appears that
the troops are now kept in Siberia
in order to support John F. Stevens
in his work of supervising the Si
berian railways, a plan suggested
by Japan.
To all of which we say simply
this: - That if the reasons for keep
ing our troops in Siberia are no
more clearly defined in the minds
of the authorities than in the state
ment from which we quote, then
they have no business being there.
., The Czecho-Slovak armies were
saved long ago. . So far as they are
concerned, our mission was ended
some months back. Steadying Rus
sian efforts at self-defense is some
what disingenuous. There seems
to be good evidence that a lot ot
the self-defense is on the other
side., And although it may be Bol
shevik it is Russian and we have
no business mixing in it any more.
We are not at war with any part
of that unhappy country. It was
probably necessary and advisable to
send troops to Siberia in the begin
ning, bnt the necessity has passed
and tbey ought to come borne.
Had a Wide Use. ,
Unlike tbe diamond and the ruby,
the emerald appeared to have been
widely used, according to ancient and
medieval writers, for useful as well
as for ornamental receptacles. Drink
ing cups cut from the gem appeared
to be tbe popular forms. . Of some of
these receptacles it was claimed tlint
they possessed the magic quality of
turning water poured into them into
a pleasing drink with an exhilarating
kick, perhaps a mint julep, that would
doubtless, if they could be found, give
them priceless value in the Land nf
the Free and tbe Home of the Krave.
and instead of being n June jewel, the
emerald would he the peerless gem of
every month in the year.
COMMUNICATION.
THE CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS.
To the Editor:
Citizens of a fast-growing city
like Bend may well consider the
status of their local churches and
schools. A town is known by its
appreciation for church and school
as much, or more,' than by its ho
tels and business blocks.' Tourists
ask about hotels, - but people who
remain to help build up a growing
town invariably ask what the atti
tude of the business men and home
makes is toward school and church.
Dilapidated church buildings ' and
schools that show neglect can kill
a , town faster than a commercial
club can boom It.
'Bend is looking well after our
school buildings and it is good
news that special attention is be
' ginning to be paid to tbe advertise
ment given the city by its church
buildings, '
The Catholics will soon have an
adequate and attractive building.
Tbe Methodist-Episcopal church has
just completed a 14600 parsonage
and within a year expects to begin
a $30,000 church building. Ail
such improvements advertise Bend
as a desirable town for a perma
nent home. Let the good work con
tinue until our city is widely known
for , its generous support of both
school and church. . . -

WAS ONE GOLD WATCH AHEAD
Incident In Lord Macaulays Lift
Which Probably He Was Quits
Willing to Forgot,
Ilere Is on amusing story of MaceT
tay. as told by Lady Lnptu In her
remlulscrnces :
"Lord Macaulny was In Rome the
winter we were there with the mn
hahtjiih. " They tfHd one very good
story about liltn going the round of
tbe KiirIIsIi colony, which was told
n by an attache of the British em
bassy. 'Like all strangers, he went
by moonlight to see the Coliseum

still In view. Promptly the historian
gave chnse, and, taking the low Into
his own bands as might one of the
heroes of ancient Rome whose deeds
he set forth, be promptly knocked him
down and repossessed himself of bis
property.
'Fearing that other criminals might
be about, the Englishman at once re
turned to his hotel, to find, to his sur
prise, bis own watch ticking comfort
ably on his dressing table and a
strange gold watch in bis waistcoat

"OLD DUFFER" WAS ADMITTED
Distinguished Citizen, Wanting to See
Horace Greeley, Irreverently An
nounced by Office Boy.
A citizen of Wsterbury wrote a let-
tei to the Republican of that city a
day or two ago asking for Information
about Horace Greeley, who be was.
etc That he wished to leaVn more
about the great Journalist does blm
credit, bnt we are surprised there Is
a mar. In Waterbury capable of writing
letters to newspapers who didn't know
about Mr. Greeley already.
This reminds me of a story told by
the late Charles A. Dana. One day
while Mr. Greeley was reigning as edi
tor of the Tribune, he was particu
lolly busy, and gave explicit orders to
his office boy not to admit anybody
to bis room. Later on the office boy
announced to Mr. Greeley there was
an "old duffer" ontslde clamoring for
an Interview with tbe editor. Mr.
Greeley asked tbe boy who It was. to
which the boy replied he didn't know,
but that he wore a soiled linen dus
ter, carried a carpet-bag of the early
seventies type, and made a big fnss
because he couldn't see the editor of
the Tribune. "Well." replied Mr. Gree
ley, "if he Is so insistent you had bet
ter ask the fellow his name, and then
I will decide whether he can come In."
The boy went back and returned In a
few minutes bringing the information
that the "old duffer" was Henry Wilson
of Boston who happened at that time
to be the vice president of the United
States. He saw Mr. Greeley. Hart

Golf Will Survive.
It hns been held In some expert cir
cles that golf never could become the
game baseball Is, because golf larks
a picturesque language. This view
overlooks the fact thnt basehalk ac
quired Us language by slow degrees,
and only reached Us present perfec
tion through the long labors of de
voted philologists and etymologists.
The lunguage grew, like love, by what
It fed on.
Give golf and the sport writers-time
and they will produce a language
for that game as copious, refulgent,
and learned as now distinguishes the
more popular game. Already we de
tect the beginnings. We rend of Mr.
Bockenkamp's ploy Thursday that
by "sinking a horrlplllutlng putt of 45
feet" he finished 6 up. '
We have heard of 45-foot putts he-
fore, but it must be admitted it adds
to the wonderment of one to know that
It was borrlplllatlng. This Is an en
couraging beginning and convinces us
that golf Is going to survive. Kansas

Queer Coincidence,
One of a party whereof Charles
Darwin was a member was speaking
of the earthquake of Tacahuano, In
northern Chile, on which occasion the
father had lost all his property and
the narrator himself had barely es
caped with his life. Then, writes Dar
win, there ensued a curious coinci
dence. A German, one of the party,
got up, saying he would never sit In a
room in those countries with the door
shut, as, owing to his having done so,
he once nearly lost ils life at Soplnpo.
Accordingly, he opened tho door. No
sooner had he done so than he cried
out "Ilere It comes again I" and an
other shock ensueii. The whole party
escaped.

ORIGIN OF DOOR-KNOCKERS
Ample Proof That They Anttdat
Western Civilization by Many
Hundreds of Years.
' Tho origin of door-knockers Is al
most lost In obscurity, and their devel
opment from mere articles of utility to
objects of art has been a long, sluw
process or ovoiutlon, covering centu
ries and antedntlng western civiliza
tion by many hundreds of years.
The first general ie or knockers
that Is positively known waa among
the anclnt Greeks, who probably
adopted thorn from the Egyptians. We
re told that the Greeks considered
It a breach of good manners to enter
a house wlihout warning tho luiuatea,
and that llio Spartans gave this notice
by shouting their arrival, while the
Athenians announced themselves by
using the knocker. Its Introduction
doubtless came at the time when doors
superseded hanging, for the purpose
of Insuring greater safety or privacy.
In the Greek houses of the better
class a porter was In constunt attend
ance at the door to admit visitors.
Slaves were usually employed In this
capacity, and were chained to the door
posts to prevent their wandering and
shirking the monotony of the duty,
and In order to awoken them a short
bar ot Iron was fastened to the door
by a chain, to be used as a rnpper by
those desiring entrance to the bouse.
It Is said that this strictly utilitari
an rapper, as It was first called, wos
often wrenched from the door to be
used as a weapon of offense by visitors
who were not friendly disposed toward
the householder. A later development
was a direct consequence of this mls
cse. the next type being In the form
of a heavy ring fastened by a si runs
Jarnp or plate to the door, thus sorv
