FRIDAY, JULY 19. 1912.
ANYWAY YOU TAKE IT.
T. R. are the letters,
The screen now contains,
This problem, now solve it,
The teacher explains
Say, what do they stand for?
Mick, answer, you're head.
The boy thus accosted,
Politely, then, said
T. stands for Theadore,
Called Teddy, said Mick,
R. is for Roos-e-velt,
Who wields the big stick.
You're wrong, said his brother,
They don't stand for graft;
I'm not a progressive,
They stand, sir, for Taft,
Taft Re-elected, now,
That is what it means,
As sure as Rough Riders
Love pepper and beans.
Then up spoke another,
Just entering his teens,
Saying, T. stands for tired,
Yes sir, Tired it means;
R. for Republicans,
Divided and downed,
The Tired Republicans
Now groping around.
THE SUMMARY
T. R., Teddy Raging,
Most like it means;
The Tired Republicans,
Say others, it seems,
While Taft Re-elected
Is thrown in between.
BIT
T. R. is for Trust Rule
With Wall Street serene.
LOOK AT THE OTHER SIDE.
The Elks' convention is over.
Portland had a streuuous week.
Above forty-seven thousand Elks
registered and thousands of
other people visited the city and
money flowed like a stream of
water. Huge was the stream of
people that poured into our
chief city, and prodigious was
the sum of gold which entered
into the expense account. Port
land is a heavy gainer in cash
and has had the time of her life
as the saying goes.
But after all, is there not
another side to the, proposition?
Have the inhabitants of Port
land been really benefitted? Has
there been that helpful influence
that will be a moral uplift to its
citizens, or has there been a
lowering of the moral standard
and a public demonstration that
will leave its baleful influence
clinging like a wet garment to
the cities' future life?
We read, and also have been
told, of how horses have been
ridden up and down as many as
three flights of stairs, into hotel
and saloon lobbies and into ele
vators. How that men in the
line of march would fall out of
line, take hold of some girls and
haul them into the street and
dance around to the consterna
tion and discomfort of the
persons on whom they had laid
hold. How that trays filled with
beer and other drinks were
carried into the streets to quench'
the thirst of the marchers. Hut
this is not all; the tale, brings us
news of drunken men and tipsy
women and girls; of restaurants
where the drunks became too
crowded, hence, had to be carried
out, to make room for others to
satiate their desires and perhaps
be carried out in their turn, in
fact the city seems to have been
thrown wide open and propriety
oh! where was she.
T'wus a jolly big crowd,
Jostling, lively and loud,
Through the streets of the city,
And its pace was not slow,
As the drunks wabbling go.
Through thestreets of thatcity.
Demonstrations, conventions,
or reunions which break down
the laws of propriety leave a
sting, and large gatherings,
where the more presumptious
set the pace, leads to reckless
acts in others who, in their turn,
entice other persons who are
influenced by their recklessness.
Portland has had a big time
but it is hardly a thing to be
proud of. The influence which
has gone forth from that assem
bly is likely to prove a more
lasting Might upon the moral
atmosphere of the city, than the
money gain will prove a bless
in 2.
Hogs From Nebraska.
Speaking in good humor and
disavowing any manner of of
fense, they are strong on the
hog back in Nebraska. Here in
Oregon we have the best hog
raising state in the Union; but
Nebraska has the fame and the
game, and when we want to eat
hog meat we send back there
and get it.
Every now and again we read
an item similar to that which
appeared in the local market re
ports a day or two since, namely,
"Eight carloads of hogs delivered
from Nebraska." We compare
these items with others which
show the hog and cattle ship
ments from the eastern section
of Oregon to the Middle West,
and then we wonder how it all
happens, or why it is that we do
not raise our own meat for our
own consumption and make it a
little easier on "Jones who pays
the freight."
It is evident that with refer
ence to this one item of hogs
there is need of activity ftmong
the agricultural authorities of
the commonwealth. If the Ne
braskans are good hog-raisers
better than the Oregonians, for
example let the latter demon
strate that they've got the state
for porkers, of all states under
the Starry Banner, and our im
port from the region of the Platte
will be people nd not hogs. We
may even overlook the secondary
consideration of changing the
character of our imports from
Nebraska, and fix upon the thing
that is of first interest, namely,
the greater development of ' an
agricultural industry that will
pay and pay handsomely.
There is no more reason why
we should import hogs from Ne
braska, or from any other state
of the Middle West than there is
for importing hops. We raise
all the hops we, need and to
spare. We can do the same
thing in the hog line. It is
simply a matter of push and ed
ucation. Portland Telegram.

After many months of hard
fighting Lorimer has received
the grand bounce from the
United States senate. It appeals
to the average person that the
senate might have arrived at
definite conclusion much sooner
in the Lorimer case, but per
haps there were some skeletons
in senatorial closets which need
ed re-locking first.
