Farewell Rock and Rye;
Our fondest hopes have been realized. The Leader
has been recognized by the M onday Crawfish, our esteem
ed Portland contemporary.
From January 1 to date, Oregon people have bought
an average of eleven automobiles every day, and still
something has been said about times being hard.
The plan of trench fighting, which has characterized
the European w ar, owes its origin to this country. It
was in the w a r of 61-05 that long lines of trenches, cor
responding to a battle front, first made their appearance.
With Oregon poultry being dumped into the markets
by the carload and feed prices soaring, can anyone ex
plain why eggs are cheaper at this season of the year
than they have been for a decade? M ust be the importa
tion of the Chinese product.
All the rules have gone smash in the war. There’s
an old one in the British army that you ought to begin
to look to retreat when 10 per cent of the men arc down.
In ours it is 15. In all armies it is either 10 or 15. Brit
ish regiments have stuck when (»0 per cent were out.
German and French regiments have continued charging
when only a handful were still alive or unwounded. Men
have never fought so bravely as iti this war. The idea
that humanity w as getting soft was the most ridiculous
piffle that ever emanated from a “ knocker” of the good
old human race. In the old times you fought for a few
hours and the battle w as over. If you were uncertain
of your courage, you took a drink before you charged.
Now you fight day after day; you face the enemy in ap
prehension that any moment a shell may bury you alive
or eviscerate you. Hand grenades «are tossed back and
forth like bouquets. It’s «a w ar of nerves, and in this «age
of nerves the high civilized and organized man is standing
w hat would utterly demoralize a savage.— Frederick
Palmer in Collier’s.
DANIELS
WAS
RIGHT.
One year ago Joseph Daniels, secretary of the navy,
banished intoxicating liquors from the navv and naval
stations. Thereupon a howl went up. Many naval ofti
cers sneered at the order and declared that all the other
navies of the world would laugh at the "grape juice na
vy” o f America. That part ol the press of this country
which is friendly to the liquor interests jeered and ridicul
ed and denounced the administration that thus interfer-
red with “ personal lilierty.”
But the order had to be obeyed and (or one whole
year the navy has been without rum, says the Eugene
Guard:
That Secretary Daniels was right when he declared
that booze had no business among fighting men, that it
lessened efficiency, has been proved in the year since it
w as made, by the action of the nations that are at war.
Russian found that the guzzling of vodka was lessening
its chance o f victory and the sale of it was prohibited.
France found its w a r effectiveness hindered by absinthe
drinking and the government put a ban on that. Brit
ain, fighting for her life, asserts that the drink peril is
greater than the perils of war, and is considering severe
restrictive legislation. The premiers of tw o Canadian
provinces have begun a movement to close all saloons
there until the w a r is over.
Instead of becoming the butt of the w orld’s laughter
because it abolished drinking, the navy has set an exam
ple which is being followed by the nations of the world.
