Here's a motto, Just your fit,
Laugh a little bit.
When you think you've trouble hit,
Laugh a little bit.
Look misfortune In the face,
llrave the bedlam's rude grimace;
Ten to one 'twill yield Its place
If you have the wit and grit
Just to laugh a little bit.
- Cherish this as sacred writ, '
Laugh a little bit.
Keep It with you sample It,
Laugh a little bit.
Little Ills will miro betldo you
Fortune may not sit beside you,
Men may knock and fame deride you,
But you'll mind them not a whit,
If you laugh a little bit.

A German sciontist is the originator of an idea to chart the
oceans with the view of warning vessels in what particular por
tion of their voyage they may expect storms and calms. This
would be comparatively easy if each and every ocean-going craft
was provided with a wireless telegraph equipment, which would
enable each vessel to flash the news to others of the weather
conditions existing along the route of travel. This enthusiast
says that with the ocean properly charted warning might be giv
en thirty-six hours ahead of approaching storms and thus great
loss of life and property would be prevented. The idea is a good
one and no doubt it is but a question of a few years when the
German's dream will come true.
The Daily Guard was the only newspaper in Eugene that re
ceived direct bulletins of the election returns, the only other ser
vice of the kind in the city being received by the Republican
county committee. The Guard was also the only paper that dis
played its own returns for the benefit of the public. Further than
this, The Guard furnished to every Lane county subscriber ear
ly in the morning an extra edition giving the most complete re
turns of any paper issued up to that time. That the people ap
preciate a newspaper like The Guard is evidenced by the fact
that thirty new daily subscriptions were received at the business
office counter between November first and fourth.
It is now up to the editorial writers to handle other topics
than politics. They may devote a few issues of their papers to
telling how the thing was done, then they will have to resort
to other themes. It will be rather difficult, this radical change
of subject, but it is a condition and not a theory which confronts
each and every one of us and we will be compelled to make the
best of it.
1 Almost a panic was created in tho London dog market by the
appearance of some women of ihe socioty set in public with their
husbands, and without their dogs, and the circulataion of a re
port that it was no longer the "pwopah capah" to have dogs for
pets. Is it any wonder that London's unemployed grow threatening?
Americans are regarded as "easy" all over the world. A
steerage passenger calling himsolf Prinoe Immanuel, of Jerusa
lem, is now in this country, seeking money to build a universal
university on the site of Solomon's temple, and it is by no means
certain that he won't get it.
Nervy bunch, that faoulty of the Chicago University. One
of them got in bad with the women members of the Chicago Cul

them that the followers of the "no-hip" fashion made themselves
look like frights.

Eugene Victor Debs, who in the re
cent election was the candidate of the
Socialist pnrty for President of the
United Stntes. was born In Torre
Haute, Ind., November 5. 1S55. He
received a common school educntion
and lnv187l went to work as a loco
motive fireman. In 1879 Tie was
elected city clork of Terre Haute.
About the same time he became
trensnrer of the Brotherhood of Lo
comotive Firemen, of which organl- j
zatlon he continued to be one of the!
leaders for many years. In 1805 he
wns elected to-the Indiana leglsla-:
ture and served ono term. In 1893
ho organized and became president
of the American Hallway Union,
which organization conducted the
grent Pullman strike, as a result of
which Mr. Debs became Involved
with the Federal authorities and with
several of his associates was sen
tenced to Jail for contempt of court.
In 1S97 he became chairman of the
National Council of the Social Dem
ocracy and In 1900 he was the can
didate of that party for President of
the United Stntes. The Socialist party
It seems as If the prospects of the
Eugene high schools's capturing the
League pennant from Salem Satur
day have fallen suddenly from the
best to a degree much less satisfac
tory to the local supporters.
A ragged practice was held last
evenings with a crippled back field
and a dispirited line. Captain Knox
is not expected to be In the big game,
on account of a fractured rib; Krleg
er is out with a "Charley-horse",
Gray's knee is In bad shape and
Bailey will perhaps be kept out of
the game at least till the last -half,
on account of his knee, which was
Injured In the Astoria game. Ander
son Has not been out this week on ac
count of sickness, but he will prob
ably be in the game despite his phys
ical condition.
However the high school lads are
out to win, even if the whole second
team goes In. Coach Hug depends
upon the fighting ability of the old
men to hold the Salem team down.
The rooters, too, have determined,
If possible, to make up the team's
loss by extra efforts to encourage
the team. The excursion list Is fast
growing larger.

And now the yellows are saying that Senator Bourne ,of Ore
gon, has been having the same sort of poker luck that he had
with his second elective term boom for "Teddy." Maybe so, but
anyway Jonathan doosn't seem to have the winner's markers.
If this Philadelphia lady doctor, who delivered an address
