FRATERNITY.
It I could write one lltlo word
Upon the hearts of men,
I'd dip Into the fount of love
And write with golden pen,
One little word and only one,
And feel life's work on earth well done;
For every heart wouldd speak to me.
That one sweet word. Fraternity.
Lillian Pollock.
HIGH PRICES AND PROSPERITY
It looks very much as if there is to be a new era of high
prices that will exceed the record made before the financial
panic of a year ago. Already publishers are facing a rapid ad
vance in the price of print paper, due no doubt to the fact that
the re-election of Speaker Cannon and other high tariff cham
pions preclude any possibility of a reduction in duties on wood
pulp. The publishers of the country, led by Herman Ridder, have
made a hard fight for the right to do business on a profitable
basis, but have lost out to the powerful paper mill trust. They
will in all probability be severely punished for the course they
took and paper prices will no doubt make a new record within
the next few months. - .
Merchants also are daily receiving notice of advances in
almost every line of woolen and cotton goods, and those who
failed to stock up heavily this fall because jf the-vXinancipjunr
certainty will be forced to fill depleted stocks at greatly en
hanced prices and be placed at a disadvantage compared to
their bolder competitors who risked heavy buying during the
period of depression.
It is probable that wages will respond in a measure to the
.rapid advance in prices, but it is doubtful if they keep pace with
the increasing cost of living. During the period of prosperity
which ended with the flurry of last fall work was plentiful and
wages high, but the workingman saved little because every
thing he bought was dearer. The regular salaried man in a
clerkship position was even worse off because his salary advance
was not so marked. . . .. ,
There is on every hand evidence of a return to the conditions
that existed prior to the panic, and it would not be surprising if
the volume of business and advance in prices exceeded all former
records, booauso, since the election, the manufacturing trusts,
who formerly pretended to favor a general reduction of the tar
iff, have thrown off the mask and are asking boldly for higher
'duties, which congress is only too likely to grant. ' The question
that time and experience alone can answer is whether the coun
try can permanently sustain a prosperity pitched on so high a
plane, and accompanied by unlimited speculation and combina
tion of big interests, which is likely to be inaugurated as soon
as financial matters in the East can be again adapted to the
new orderof things. While vast fortunes will be made by a
comparative few, it is a question as to whether the people gen
erally will be benefitted, and they may even find it difficult to
"make both ends meet" if prices soar to the dizzy heights the
great manufacturing combines seem determined they shall.
This Kentuckian who wants President Roosevelt impeached
evidently does not believe those who say the country wants a
rest..-. However, he might communicate with Senator Tillman,
even it that gentleman did dodge the campaign excitement.
Many .a man has wondered why the public is so gullible
at to expect something for nothing, says the Oregon Tradesman.
It is not strange when we stop to consider that the public has
been educated to believe that it can get something for nothintj.
Stories are told of great winnings at gambling. Tales are recited
of a few dollars placed in certain securities or investment
bringing in a harvest of wealth. Thia effort to excite a desirff
to get something that has not been earned has entered practi
cally every field of endeavor. It is not at all strange or surpris
ing then, when we consider has assiduously the lure has been
held out.
"Columbia is going to add an airship course to its curricu
lum, Our universities are becoming more and more practical.
At one time their chief function was to teach young men the use
of hot air. They are doing better now." This is making light of
a question on a high plane and of rising nature, even if it is the
expression o fas high a journal as the San Francisco Chronicle.
Rev. Walter Holcombe, son-in-law of the late Sam Jones,
has been fined $500 and costs by a Georgia court for using ob
scene and vulgar language in the pulpit when there were women
in the audience. 'Rah for the "cracker" judge. May his tribe
increase.
And now comes the supreme court of Massachusetts with ft
permanent injunction, backed by an opinion, that a labor union
has no right to fine its members for not joining a strike it orders.
No wonder this injunction business has got a lot of 'em guessing.
A California widow wants to be appointed deputy sheriff,
she says to protect her life and property, but if she gtes the job
eligible unmarried men in her neighborhood would better walk
mighty straight, if they do not wish to wake up married.
. Revolutionizing isn't the picnic in Mexico it is in some coun
tries. Two of the leaders of a gang that pillaged a town last
June have been sentenced to death and twelve of their men all
that were caught to fifteen years' imprisonment.
Well, welll "The world do move." Yale is to teach spell-
fag. Row maybe some of the minor educational; institutions may
be induced to do likewise, and not leave this important branch
of education entirely to the newspapers. '
"You will know love when he comes," says- a lady writer.
Perhaps, but the divorce court records prove that a fraudulent
masquerader is frequently mistaken for him.
This California doctor who says "we should move in curves"
is doubtless figuring on becoming the presidential candidate of
the boozers in 1912. ' -
Careful observation will prove to the most skeptical that the
man who uses the most good judgment will have the most good
luck.
WHAT AMERICA NEEDS.
(Editorial from the Wall Strret
Journal.)
ROOT FOR THE FOOTBALL TEAM
State pride, and local pride combined should insure a large
Attendance at the football game tomorrow. A big crowd of
lusty-lunged rooters can do wonders for the home team in the
way -of inspiring confidence and enthusiasm, and a victory to
morrow will be a big step toward winning the big game of the
year with O. A. C at Portland. Let evorybody turn out and
cheer the boys at the rally tonight and then go to the game to
morrow with minds made up to down the husky lads from Seat
tie. Football and othor athletic sports in the colleges are neces
sary because they tend to physical perfection, and the healthy
body generally insures a healthy mind and right thinking. When
the physical strength of a people declines there is too apt to be a
deficiency of courage and corresponding lack of patriotism. We
have as a nation few wars to bring out these qualities and the
dagei ous tendencies of prolonged peace must bo combatted by
physical training which is even more important than mental
training. Most persons who condemu football and athletic
sports gonorally in the oollegos and schools take a most super,
ficial view of the question, and yot most of them would prefer
to raise strong, healthy boys .full' of life and vigor, to p,jle
sickly students, with bodies too weak to sustain abnormally de
veloped mental faculties. What the colleges need is the proper
proportion of athletics and higher education and if they some
times incline too much to the former well, the healthy Amer
ican boy will be perfectly able to take care dt himself if he has
neglocted somewhat his opportunities for classical education.
The trained athlete can never be a victim of dissipation or a
moral degenerate. Bryan, Roosevelt Omd Taft are the great
leaders of the American people, and they owe their success to a
great degree to physical strength that enables them to do an
