TO MURDER HIS BROTHER WORM
We think you will like to read a few paragraphs by a
well known author on the subject of man's development of
. the weapons of war. Here they are:
The first conflict between man and man was the. mere ex
ertion of physical force, -unaided by auxiliary weapons his
arm was his buckler, his fiat was his mace, and a broken
' head the catastrophe of his encounters. The battle of unas
;. ' sisted strength wastsucceeded by the more rugged one of
' stones and clubs, and war assumed a sanguinary aspect, As
man advanced In refinement, as his faculties expanded, and
his sensibilities became more exquisite, he grew rapidly
more ingenious and experienced in the art of murdering
. his fellow-beings. He invented a thousand devices to defend
: and t0 assault the helmet, the cuirass, and the buckler, the
sword, the dart, and the javelin, prepared him to elude the
wound, as well ss to launch the blow. Still urging on, in the
. brilliant and philanthropic career on invention, he enlarges
V and heightens his powers of defence and Injury the Aries,
:' . the Scorpio, the Ballsta, and the Catapulta, give a horror '
" and sublimity to wan and magnify its glory by increasing
, its desolation. Still Insatiable, though armed with machinery
that seemed to reach he limits of destructive Invention, and
to yield a power of Injury commensurate even with the de-
sires of revenge still deeper researches must be made in
the diabolical arcana. With furious zeal he dives into the
' bowels of the earth; he toils midst poisonous minerals and
deadly salts--the sublime discovery of gunpowder blazes
. i. upoh the world and finally, the dreadful art of fighting by
proclamation seems to endow the demon of war with ubl-
- quity and omnipotence!
This, indeed, is grand! this, Indeed, marks lhe powers of
. mind, and bespeaks that divine endowment of reason which : .
', 'J distinguishes us from the animals, our inferiors. The un
enlightened brutes content themselves with the native force
which Providence has assigned them. The angry bull butts
with his horns, as did his progenitors before him the lion,
-' the leopard, and the tiger seek only with their talons and
their fangs to gratify their sanguinary fury; and even the ;
' subtle serpent darts the same venom and uses the same
. wiles as did his sire before the flood. Man alone, blessed with
the invenilve mind, goes on from discovery to discovery
enlarges and multiplies his powers of destruction; arrogates
the tremendous weapons of Deity itself, and tasks creation to
; assist him In murdering his brother worm!
Now we are going to postpone for a day or two the revela
tion of the name of the author who wrote those paragraphs.
Our readers are invited to guess or, indeed, to give the name
if they know it. We think you will be surprised to learn who
wrote the paragraphs and when.
We'll tell you on Wednesday. ,
The Oregon Voter calls attention to a new method of re
porting energy sales ty tne Bonneville administration, ex
changes of power, according to the' Voter, are now classed
as sales and that makes the volume larger than it should be.
As deliveries shrink something has to be done, of course, to
indicate that the volume is maintained ana! thus show a
"need" for further power generation.
As the facts become known it appears that the settlement
of the soviet-Iran dispute so widely hailed last "week by the
UN security council was merely a matter of semantics.
The Oregonian says that the state .of,. Washington has no
official tree That's probably the reason why the Washing
ton mills are importing so many logs from Oregon.

Sometimes it's good
1 For 35 years it has been an accepted prac
tice to change the oil in an automobile every
1,000 miles. With the motor oils we had before
the war this was the only safe procedure. And
the public had been told about it so long and
so frequently, the habit was pretty well fixed.
4 If Union Oil had been n monopoly-private
er governmental-we would probably have kept
quiet. There's no incentive to go after more
business when you already have it all. And when
the customers are satisfied, the motto Of most
monopolies is "Don't Rock the Boat."

3 At that paint we had to make a decision.
Should we advertise New Triton simply as a supe
rior oil and let people go on changing it every 1,000
miles? Or should we give them the whole story
and upset a buying habit that had been estaby
lished for years?
6 Furthermore they proved once again that
as long as there's room for improvement in an in
dustry, the only way to guarantee maximum prog
ress is to have an economic system that guarantees
maximum incentives. Our American system, with its
Jree competition, provides these to a degree no other
system hs ever approached.
