bMil. E.lwai.l Everett: Oration on
Hie Character of Washington.
This address stands out as o.ne of
the finest portrayals of the grand yet
simple character of Oeoige Washing
ton, First of His Country.
Everett calls Wr.shmgton intrepid.
Ho he was. lie calls him nnseltisli.
So he was. Put riot ism always is un-
Beltish. When thought of self ad-; .

Ion subordinated evertyhiug pertain- admits that under government op
ing to himself to his country's good,
Hu has a lesson to posterity that
well might be the belter learned by
some of us today.
The first president lias been ex -
alted by Americans but lie never ex-
ailed himself. His Americanism was
that of devotion to country und a
willingness to cany his devotion to!
the end of death If death should

The story of Washington should
be one of the first lessons in the
book of Americanization. It Is mil
appealing story and one to be under-1
stood by even the mind of a child.
The memory of Washington, men '
have said, has acted as an anchor!1'1'1? 06 Just wuat ,,le de,-

brought to htm the admiration and.
affection of the American people,
as it was the noble simplicity of his
character which was shown, not only
in his deeds but in his actual manner
of life.
Aliens w ho came to our shores fur
the purpose of becuuilug American
citizens almost invariably know
something of Oeorge Washington. It
may be that he is only a name to
them, but almost always it has been
found that in the minds of the In
coming imigrunls the mime is asso
ciated Willi all that they have
thought of as best ill the land which
promises them the liberty for which
they seek.
He was a man "who knew no
glory but bis country's good." In
these few quoted words can be found
the whole story of a life of devotion
to an ideal. No patriot roul.l wish
for a better epitaph than this.

TO MAKK HOME RlllJMXO
l'OSSIRLK
The Spokesman-Review of Spok
une advertised: "Wanted, a man to
make Home Building Buk.v."
Every community feels the need
!of oruunlzed action . to overcome
sliortiiKe of dwelling houses. Am
population increuses on the furms
people are continually streaming
into the cities to reside.
The result of that advertisement
was that Wilbur E. Coman of Spok
alio comes to the front with a solu-
Hon of the problem.
Many people who want to bu.W

cent of the necessary funds. To
- i
re co-operation of building and
loan societies or savings institutions
50 per cent capital must be availa
ble. Mr. Coman urges formation in
each community of a financial cor
poration to make up this difference.
This plan will help the Individual
whose capital is too small to acquire
a home and pay out.
POLITICAL CAR lHSTRIM'TION
eration of ruilroads, republican states
would not suffer from car shortage,
it says:
j "Oregon and Washington lumber-
'men ure complaining bitterly about
the shortage of cars. Eugene alone
Is said tu be losing 14.000 a day on
this accouut. Seven hundred and
fifty men in one suwuilll huve been
thrown out of worn there because
'here is no use cutting lumber that
cannot he shipped. The loss to tho
northwest will run into millions. This
is merely another demonstration of
ut political control of the railroads
" "'""y "leau- vve,e re
publicans In power they would prub.
"atic administration is doing now
e 111111 the' wo"111 be ae,,dinB
them to the sort pine lu inner inter
'
ests of the south. Public ownership
of such a commodity as the railroads
would he a calamity."
This muy be u far-fetched state
incut but It Is worth pondering over
when considering political ownership
of any Industiy. We huve seen the
same thing happen in distribution
of postoffices. I ma'kes no difter-
i ence what pa.ty is iu power.
SI.IO IS NO CRIME
It Is dilficult to see where the
Federal Trade Commission's latest
report of the activities of the pack
ers brings a charge of anything that
has not been n matter of course in
the Imliisliy since it was first said
of Armour that he used everything
about Hie hog but his squeal. To
eompl.iin of packers because they
tend to extend their business to in
clude various lines In order to the
more proiilable utilization of by
prod no -i incidental to their business
in chief is to assail the principle of
big production, small percentage of
profit, and enhanced net return
through general distribution. That
is the aim of eeiy sound and ambi
tious business, whether it be a bunk
peanut factory. The mere fact
that out of such u practice is devel
oped a mammoth ivowth is not a
circumstance that should carry legal
'or other sort of reproach.
The public is greatly concerned
sign is to attack the products it of
fers for sale?
In the public Interest it is com
petent for the government to super
vise the quality und to compel rea
sonable observance of standards of
health and purity in the Interstate
distribution of food. Under the
Sherman law it is competent for it
to bring suit civilly and to prosecute
criminally any dstrihutor who so
conducts his business as by unfair
meatis to stifle competition to the
end of monopoly or, even technically,
to act in restraint of trade. But
whether the commodity handled be
food or oil, or tobacco, or steel, or
whatnot, to seek to make mere size a
crime is Itself mere demagogery.
What the public wants Is food suf
ficiently cheap to leave a greater
margin between the primal necessity
and the money return of labor, to
leave room for the enjoyment of
other things in lite not so elemental
but as neceijuury to tho maintenance
of American stund irds . In the ab
sence of monopoly or improper meth
ods retarding production and sup
ply, it should and will welcome any
organization tending tt the end in
chief of a reduction of costs. The
Department of Justice having:
bruught this suit iu the courts al
leging facts which would, If estab
lished, curb the? packers once for nil,
the various outpourings of the
Trade Commission are not exactly
comprehensible especially seeing
that for anything they have shown
to the contrary, the public may be
getting meats more cheaply by rea
son of the packers' activities than
it would he getting them were the
packers put out of business, or eer
tainly if their business were taken
over by the government.
A ventilated box to serve us a win
dow refrigerator that recently was
patented is so mounted that it can
be swung outside or inside u window
or entirely out of the way when the
use of the full window is desired for
other purposes.
KILL IT
The proposed measure to change
the Oregon constitution and limit
the legal rate of interest to 4 and
6 per cent is already having Its ef
fect in advising anybody with money
to loan that Oregon will be off the
map for making loans if the measure
should pass.
The small merchant, business man.
farmer and home builder would be
the hardest hit as local banks would
be put out of business und no money
would be loaned within the state nt
such rates.
This Is no overdrawn, "throw the
scare Into them" picture. If you
hud 600 would you loan it at 5 per
cent In Oregon when you could get
much more by limning it outside the
state?
We cannot afford to let such a
measure as this gel by in this stale.
AWI '!'
LOSSES OK LI VKS'l't H K
IMPENDING '
In spite of large shipments of live
stock to better feeding ground there
will be enormous losses from short
age of feed on the ranges.
There Is (lunger that two million
head of livestock, cattle and sheep
will freeze ami starve iu the west
this winter. Cannot this awful loss
and Buffering he averted by u rich
and powerful people?
BANI.S CARRY THE LOAD
Banks have maintained a remark
able record of efficiency during past
years of world disturbances.
The banking Industry might ul
most be chased us i public utility
In that it serves everybody.
This remarkable growth and de
velopment of this industry has been
brought about by private energy ami
initiative.
Like all successful industries,
banking Is subject to political at
tacks of one kind or another.
The Non-Partisan League wants
state banks operated at cost. In Or
egon a freak law is proposed to lim
it legal rate of interest to 4 and 5
per cent, thus driving all funds for
loaning purposes out of the state.
The government cuts In on the
banks with different forms of money
loaning to special cIiislps at reduced
interest ratps, the deficit for which
Is born by the taxpayer.
It Is the private banks, however,
which carry the financial load or
the nation and It is to the public in
terest to reject policies and meas
ures which tend to limit and retard
their legitimate growth.
A REAL XKWSI'APKH
A newspaper may be owned us a
private business, but it can be oper
ated properly only as a public service
business for the good of the entire
community. It should be a letter
of good ntws and good cheer, pre
senting it, its reader those things
which will Interest, them, be of ser
vice to them or make them proud
of their citiienship In the best coun
try on earth. The news columns are
for the publication of facts, not per
sonal opinions of the editor or own
er. The advertising columns should
present business new nnd opportu
nities lo its readers and should be
truthful, clean and reliable.

(By tho United Tress)
MADISON, Wisconsin. That
tho slang and idioms of today will b
correct English tomorrow is the
opinion of Prof. II. ;!'.. mi.ii of the
English department, l':iiversily of
Wisconsin.
"Our language is made up of what
was once slang, idiom, colloquialism
and jargon," he said, and warned
that the' only deplorable feature
about sh ng was its tendency to pro
duce mental slovenliness.
Prof. Cllcksiuaii then referred to
the word "mob' 'as slang of L'On
years ago ami denounced i,n I'he
Spectator by Addison.
"It is an ablneviation of the word
'mobile.' Even so the word 'pep' Is
vital ami virile :iiirl will survive with
the word 'snappy.' Hut to gain rec
ognition shrug must he free from
vulgarity mid cheapness," said
(ilkksman.
"The term ilnw do you get Unit
way?" is coniieinned bccnur.o II is
meaningless hul the term 'he has
pull" is a roved as it is the oppo
site of 'push.' a word that has
forged ahead through its own
strength "

the right prescription, one gotten up by
Dr. Pierce fifty years ago,
Everything growing out of the ground
seems intended for some use in establish

BiiMalo, N. V., long since found out what
is naturally best for women's diseases.
He learned it all through treating thou
sands of cases, The result of his studies
was a medicine callefl Dr. Pierce's Favor

of vegetable trnwtlis that nature surely
intendi ! far backache, headache, weak
ening, bearing-down pains, irregularities,
pelvic inflammations, nnd for tho many
disorders common to women in all ages of
life. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
made of lady's r.lipper root, black cohosh

Oregon grapo root. Dr. Pierce knew,
when he fir.4 made this standard medi
