Meditations
We trust the scarcity of gasoline
is not to be laid to the dry weather.
An old adage is being renovated
to read "The fool and hit Liberty
bonds are soon parted".
As the vacation time approaches
the gasoline shortage has new ter
rors.
2 The French, we are told, are will
ing to do anything to surpass Ger
many except raise children.
Wilson sticking to the peace
treaty reminds a wit of t sitting
hen on a nest of china eggs.
There are too few people who re
alize the distinction between
churchanity and Christianity.
Whatever may be the cause of it,
consumers of gas in Oregon are now
definitely decided that a shortage
exists.
While Hiram Johnson appears to
be fond of fireworks in-his cam
paign, Governor Edwards reiterates
his partiality for firewater.
Mothers are now expected to do
as much for the elevation of hu
manity with the ballot as they for
merly did with the slipper. ,
A rumor that there is to be a
break in the "solid south" bobs up
every four years but bobbing up is
about the only progress it makes.
About the only traveler who is
not interested in the scarcity of gas
just now is the man who drives a
horse and who has plenty of oats in
tie bin,' There are still a few cf
him left.
If overalls and ginghams fail to
stop the flight of rising costs, the
good old summer time would be
prqpitious for starting a "back to
Eden" movement.
The government guaranteed price
of wheat was officially raised June
1st and two distinct classes of gen
tlemen are preparing to say "I told
you so".
To carry an election in the Uni
ted States they frequently stuff the
ballot boxes, but to carry an elec
tion in Mexico they stuff the cart
ridge boxes. .
The last slender prop was knock
ed out fr m under John Barleycorn
this week when the supreme court
decided that legislative 1 action on
U.S. Constitutional amendments
could not be referended. It looks
as if the anthem "How dry I am"
will be the national song for a
long, long time.
The text of the Independence-Dallas
petition goes into details con
cerning the manner in which the
original law was passed. Repre
sentatives Staffrin and Fuller -are
represented as refusing to vote for
the bill until Dallas, Monmouth
and Independence were included on
the route. There feems a deliber
ate slight to Falls City in this
which citizens of that town would
do well te look into. 1

Among the natural curiosities tf
Oregon are the fossil beds of which
there are tight or ten in the state.
In the John Day country have been
found fossi'i the age of which there
is evidence to show, ia between
two and three million years. Beds
of silt forming in the bottom of
the ocean to the depth of ten miles
have there been lifted up. Volcan
ic athes have smothered and killed
animali in past ages. This has
been covered with many feet of
lava, preserving to us the skeletons
of horses with one, two and three
toes. In height from eighteen inch
es up, giant pigs, small hipopota-
mus, undersiied camels, are among
the curiosities found in skeleton
with countless more common re
mains. See America first is advice
commonly given. See Oregon first
is good for home consumption and
any one who sets out to see the
wonders of Oregon will be treated
to many a strange and beautiful
spectacle before he has concluded.
We have heard of men fiddling
their way to governorships or earn
ing distinction by oratory and it
would not be unfair to say that
Ex-President Taft has a sense of
humor that has carried him through
many a crisis in his career. His
chuckle is infectious and his good
humored tolerance disarms opposi
tion. Mr. Oslien, who attended
the Taft lecture in Salem Saturday
night says that the speaker's sum
ming up of the league of nations
controversy was keen and decisive
as well as good natured. On very
minute differences, he said, the
adoption of the league and treaty
hung. He did not think the senate
reservations offered serious obsta
cles to a trial of the league cove
nant. He analyzed a number of
these reservations and found that
a certain three of them, on which
stress had been placed, meant
exactly the same thing, only ex
pressed in different form and
words. The adoption of the treaty
he siid, hinged on these three res
ervations all meaning the same
thing. The Democrats wanted to
adopt two of them and the Repub
licans three. The Democrats want
ed to say no twice and the Repub
licans three times and for this reas
on, said Mr. Taft, the senate could
not agree.
The thoughtful weatherman is
arranging a few hot days in the old
town for the benefit of the aphis.

mon council Tuesday night asking
for the enforcement of the weed
and grass ordinance is an outward
expression of a sentiment that finds

I hare bought a grand piano and

but I see my neighbors blowing

It they can have planoa and tine

sledding tough. Every month I'll
pay a dollar on the Junk I do not
need, till I limp areund on
crutches and my whiskers go to

river to the shining golden shore,
I will still be owing money to the

the recollection will destroy my
peace ot mind, when I have a harp
