THE MOMENTUM OF THE MOB.
Men in a mob will do things that they would not think of at
tempting single handed. Those in the rear push on those in front and
a deed is done that would never have happened had each man
expanded his efforts individually. With the mob are usually associ
ated deeds of violence, but there is no good reason why its energy and
momentum may not be turned to worthy, as well as bad, deeds.
Tom Richardson is a psychologist who saw how this frailty of
mankind might be turned to strengthen his campaign for the develop
ment of Oregon.
Nothing less than semi-violence would awaken the people of
Oregon to the opportunities of the San Francisco Exposition which
they were about to let go by the board, by San Francisco, by Seattle,
by Portland, by default, or by any other route that would require the
least expenditure of energy. So he organized at Rosehurg last week
a convention of a thousand delegates from all parts of Western Ore
gon. It was called the Southern Oregon Development Convention
and was a most remarkable affair. Every delegate was imbued with
something of the mob spirit, willing to follow the leaders in whatever
dire designs they might have on the exposition traffic. Enthusiasm
ran riot and every delegate returned home a booster for the things
that must be done to get this traffic to come or go by, and stop off at,
Oregon points.
.
Before the momentum is lost another meeting will be held at
Eugene. February 19 is the date. An enthusiastic mob of 3000 is
expected to he present upon that occasion.
SCARED MILITIAMEN.
Because their sergeant had told them their regiment had Deen
ordered to the front, two Oregon militiamen took to the hills. The
sergeant was removed from his position as a reward for his unique
valor test. His position, however, is not as unenviable as that of the
young men of whom the first scent of war made deserters. Yet we
have considerable sympathy for them. It is not a pleasant thought
to imagine yourself being ventilated with Mexican bullets. War is
not a game of ping-pong. It is almost as dangerous as aeronauting
or football. Old veterans tell yarns of how they at first scurried to
cover when the bullets began to fly. Perhaps these young men might
be the bravest in ten thousand after broken of gun shyness. The
gibes of their acquaintances can hardly wound less than soft nosed
bullets.

PATHOS IN THE STORY.
While most of us enjoyed the usual Thanksgiving feast so ap
propriate in a country which produces so bountifully and where
work is usually sufficient for the residents, there was a family, not so
;ar from the city, which had no such feast and which was planning
nothing for Christmas. The house is hidden away in the deep woods,
where Santa would never have found it. It was locate«! by members
of a local lodge which had received won! of suppose«! conditions from
a lodge of which the head of the family had been a member.
The abject poverty which these investigators found, almost un
known in this section, was almost unbelievable.
The head of the house was found to be a man of 82 years with one
hand gone and weakened by sickness There was a sufficiency of
coarse food, but of sugar, coffee and other like necessities, not any.
The mother was much younger than the husband, and there were
three little tots, ranging from eighteen months to nine years. The
mother was wearing a pair of loggers’ boots which she had found, a
ragged waist and a skirt made o f gunny sacks. The eighteen-months-
old babe wore a sleeveless shirt of coarse material and the garment
tor which safety pins were invented. Otherwise nothing had been
added to the raiment provided by Nature. The other two children
were in an almost equally naked condition. Not one member of the
family had underclothing of any kind.
At school and at Sunday school the older girl had suffered the
bitter ridicule of those to whom Providence had been more kind.
This heartrending story was brought to the attention of the lodge
Saturday evening. As a result, Tuesday a wagon load of supplies
were taken to the family and their suffering for the present is re
lieved. The creeping babe’s body is no longer blue form exposure
aud the older girl can now wear clothes that do not attract ridicule.
When dire need is brought to their attention there are none more
liberal in proportion to their means than the Cottage Grove people.
But, accustomed to comfort themselves, with signs of plenty all about,
they grow careless. While giving to solicitors from Portland and
elsewhere for all manner of charitable institutions, they have not
thought to cast about at home for places to put the money.
We are soon to celebrate the birthday of the Savior, the most
charitable of all men. Let there be none who are not happy on that
day. Let us make certain that there are no more such cases of suffer
ing in our midst. Let charity begin at home.
Someone who would take the older of the girls referred to, pro
vide for her and give her a schooling would be performing a deed in
the service of Him who said, “ Suffer little children to come unto me.”
