CHARITY vs GREED. Civilized people as a rule are easily touched by stories of those who have been unfortunate or are victims of circumstances— and are as easily “ touched” for the relief of the downtrodden. All of this is very proper—and makes a pretty picture for those vith a gift at mental painting, but the beauty of it all is too often spoiled by those as oversupplied with greed as they are entirely deficient in pride. The writer has several instances in mind. A few years ago a cyclone destroyed considerable property in a certain section of the middle West. A relief fund was raised almost spontaneously and was distributed according to the needs of the suf ferers. The sacrifices made by many in swelling the fund were touching. They were a beautiful exemplification of the charity of man toward his fellow creature. In the distribution of the fund many really in need of aid refused it, but the beauty of the whole picture was spoiled by the greediness ot sufferers who were in no wise in need of aid. A striking example was a farmer who demanded to be recom pensed in the amount of $200 for damage to buildings, and yet the distributing committee found that he owned free of encumbrance, a lann worth probably $10,000, while many of those who had given freely to the fund did not have worldly goods to the amount of damages demanded by this greedy one. To come closer to home: Oregon has a widows’ pension law. It is a worthy law and a tribute to the generosity of human nature. Yet in the public press we read almost daily of pensions being refused applicants who upon investigation have been found perfectly able and capable of caring for themselves. The other day a pension already granted was taken away from a woman who was found to be paying taxes upon $50,000 worth of property. The pension money she did receive was some of it paid by those who had to scrimp on the necessities of life to be able to meet their taxes. Surely the oft re peated accusation that riches make people proud does not hold good in this case. It is the greed of such as we have mentioned that makes hard the let of those really in need of aid. Even those who can afford it dis- l;ke being stung, and the fear that it might go to an unworthy cause has kept many millions of dollars where they are doing no good that might otherwise be relieving want and suffering. The wonder is that we give as freely as we do when we have been stung so often as we have. -------------------------------- Have you registered yet?

Almost every conceivable argument has been put forth here to show the value of macadam highways in the home of the Oregon mist, but we have seen no more telling argument than that of Col. W. G. D. Mercer, who looks at it from the reverse side, the cost of poor roads. His unique manner of argument is so simple that we wonder why all of us have not thought of it before. Possibly the Colonel might not have rushed into print with his idea had he not been a candidate for County Judge. Here is the way he puts it: “ Let it be supposed that two farmers living in different localities, but at equal distance from the Eugene market, learn by telephone that the hay market has advanced $1 per ton. The farmer living on a bad road— as 75 per cent of them do—can immediately haul one ton (maybe), while the other farmer can easily haul three tons because he lives on a good road. The rise in the price means a profit of $J to the one man and only $1 to his neighbor. That this condition often arises may be witnessed many times in Eugene.” # * Is a compendium of the finest recipes for B a k in g a n d C o o k in g in th is C lim a t e Climatic conditions are very important in cooking and baking; what applies to the high ' igh altitude of the Eafit is el of fl not adaptable to the sea level this section.
