The boy remarked that it was not the toss o f the bread and butter that grieved him, but the dispo sition of the old woman. In one short sentence the Oregonian has exposed her soul to the gaze of the world. In order to excite the passion and prejudice o f the peo ple it shed great salt tears and pictured the awfulness o f the un timely death of women and inno cent babies. Yea, in sackcloth and ashes did it give way to a grief that would not be comforted. Today, it bears the number of the “ Beast,” Commercialism. Still Finds Dupes The advertising representative of the A1 G. Barnes show sent out advertising that would cost about $4 with the request that it be pub lished, and that a copy o f the paper containing the ad presented at the ticket wagon would be a voucher for four tickets. It is needless to say that the ad did not appear in the News. How ever, it was noticed that several papers in Oregon did fall for the offer and it is presumed that they received tickets that would cost about $1 for their $4 space. That such conditions exist is the fault o f the newspaper publishers. So long as these concerns can find dupes who will sell their space for a few bits o f dirty cardboard, why should they pay out good money. The publishers do not even have the nerve to mark them advertising, but run them as though the ad was legitimate news. Another “ Trust" has been dis covered.

You may also notice that the persons who complains most about the paper not publishing “ all the news” are the ones who contribute the least towards it and never know any news when asked. The Oregonian remarks that the fundamental issue with Ger many in sinking the Lusitania and the Arabic is not the loss o f the 100 or more American lives, but “ the freedom o f the seas.” This reminds us of the small boy whose mother denied him a piece of In undertaking to maintain the freedom o f the seas and rights of American citizes to travel at will in the war zone on an enemy’s ship, the United States has “ reck oned without her host.” As Col. Bryan says, wouldn’t it be better for good American citizens to keep out of known danger and the pos sibility of drawing the nation into war than to stubbornly expose themselves? The Mexican situa tion is different. Americans, in time o f peace, settled in Mexico, with the sanction o f the Mexican government and the people. They invested their money and labor in accumulating property and should be protected in their property, if acquired in a legitimate way, and not by fraudulent grants or brib ing officials.
