Justice may endure let's take the money from the rich, an dKlve it to the poor! Let men like Morganheim be Htiipped of all their store of dough, distribute it among the men who cannot make thtnK" Ho. 1'topla would then be here peshnpB for half a yea and we might send up songs of praise, and dry the scalding tear. But In six months or maybe less the same old Morganheiuis would have their iron clutches on the world's supply of dimes; and y'ou would on the corners see the same old shiftless men, insisting that the plutocrats should- now be stripped again. Oh, some are born to nail the scads and put them down in brine, and some are born to hold the sack and stand around and whine. And some are born to do their best, to bale their stack of hay, contented with a modest roll against the rainy day; they do not rend tholr beards or wear cheap-sackcloth on their slats, they do not worry o'er the greed of loathsome plutocrats; they do not ask for wealth unearned; they work for what they get, and say the world's a bully place, and dance and pirouette. WALT MASON Copyright, 1911, by George Matthew Adams. THE UNIVERSITY DECISION Judge Galloway's decision sustaining the University's in junction suit against the filing of the Farkison referendum pe titions should be received throughout the entire state with satis faction. It not only indicates that educational institutions are iccorded their due rights by the courts, but it puts the stamp of disapproval upon the work of an organized gang of forgers who have made a business of manufacturing fraudulent referendum and initiative petitions. Not only 1b Judge Galloway's decision sound from the standpoint of law, but it is in accord with true justice and in harmony with the sentiment of the best citizen ship of the state, which favors liberal support of our educational institutions. The referring of University appropriations, in the past has given Oregon some unenviable notoriety throughout the coun try .and this stigma will now in a measure be wiped out by the decisive stand taken by the court on the side of law and in the interest of a greater and better State University. JjHE CRANK'S IMPORTANT PART It is found ihat the crank is the principal thing as a con tributor to persomaxl injuries in the automobile class, says an ex change. Figures furnished by the life or accident insurance companies for niire months of the year are in evidence on that score. The accidents tw the period, with insurance involved, were exactly nine hundred. Of these 378 were from cranking. No other cause approached this figure. Next highest on the list is a total of 91 accident' fromvcollisions. Ditohing, or skidding, was responsible for 77 reported injuries. The expense to the insurance companies was not in ratio with; the nember of injused people, for collision injuries made the total about $160,000 for the nine months, while cranking cost less than $30,000. It is anticipated that the crank-accident factor will soon be eliminated. The crank will pass sp&edily; the past season has brought a dozen self -starting1 devices into use. "The man who bays next year a machine thai has a crank," remarks the Indi anapolis News, "will belong in the same class with the man who buys milk with the cream on it. On the basis of the figures for nine months there will be twelve hundred auto aocidents reported this year by insurance companies. AS TO THE FAMOUS MME. CURRIE It is entirely too bad that any hint of scandal should attach Itself to a woman of such great fame as Mme. Ourie, the dis coverer of radium. The court case in France involving her name and reputation Is furnishing a spicy bit of gossip because of the publicity being given it. How petty and paltry is all such gossip and scandal when compared to Mme. Ourrie's greatness as the discoverer of a wonderful new element. It is to be greatly regretted that her name ever became en tangled in a suit of that character. , It sometimes happens that some man or woman of promi nence becomes involved to a greater or lesser degree in some af fair brought about by thoughtlessness or ill-advised action, and all it needs is the wrong kind of unjust publicity to magnify the case. There always are various circumstances to be taken into ac count before too hasty judgment is passed, and a charitable view often is the best, as well as the most just. The Guard acknowledges the receipt of the following tele gram from Colonel Hofer this morning: "Have received the ad vance decision of Jndge Galloway, which will be released at 1 p. m. today, in the case of the U. of O. referendum. The in junction is sustained and the U. of O. gets the money. This is the proverbial 'coals of fire' for your thoughtful editorial on the Journal, THE JOURNAL." Russian intolerance had just one friend in congress of Arkansas, whoever he may be. -Macon, MR. HUMPHREY URGES ' CONTRIBUTION TO THE PUBLICITY FUND EdHor Ouaru: t iiotlt$ several Cltlct'ns are expressing their views ill regard to the promotion work In Eu gene for the ycir 1912. As the funds for the past feT years have been raited by a comparative few, I think there should he a number of new recruits to help carry on the ex tra effort to be made the coming year. Not only have the banks, real , estate men and other business men! been benefited by the promotion I work that has been carried on ev- i cry towa lot and every tract o(4cali estate surreundlng Eugene has been Increased In value by it. So It seems to me a good time for many to lend a helping himd to boost Eugene in litis as It has never been done be fore. Then 1 think It will run It self. The w ork the I .one County Asset Co. has done for this community ran scarcely lie estimated. While a loss lo thorn, It was the means of hurried ly starting two railroads to the const. The College Hill loop line wwilil not have been built If It had not been for a few generous clt liens who gave largely (ft It. A: the same lime those who would not give any thing toward It are now selling their land at greatly increased prices. I believe in standing together in these things.

Do you remember a moras the exhib its of Interest nt the World's fair in Chicago the rowboat used by Ida Lew is In her work of Haying llres In New port harbor? The boat was presented to Miss Lewis by the people of Newport. She was the daughter of the keeper of the old Lime Hock light, off New port, and bo seaman could better ban- die a boat or battle with tbe .waves at an expert swimmer. And she was brava with the brav ery of a woman. Her record as a saver of human life Is a matter of history. And among those rescued was a score of men, hardy sailors and tollers of tbe sea. Personally Ida Lewis was a most gracious woman, but modest and seem ingly nnconsclous of her heroic endeavor. Her womanly qualities no less than ber intrepid spirit and daring gentle ness made ber the pride of Newport The cadets of the Naval academy sim ply adored her. As some one has suggested, had she been born before Grace Darling tbe latter might appropriately have been named "tbe Ida Lewis of the old world." And now she Is dondl Old Lime Bock still holds its beacon, and pilgrims go to visit the forts and tbe war college and the station and the, barracks, but the brave spirit of Ida Lewis hns departed. - And the memory of ber is blessed. What, after all, is the one thing that makes mortals great and long belov Is it not unselfishness? Whoever would build a monument in the heart of humanity must forget self and live for others' sake. - Whoever would become great must be least; whoever would minister must be a servant; whoever would be loved must lend a strong hand to the perishing. So long as tbe great Lime Rocks shall abide so long will the heroic evangel of Ida Lewis be told for a memorial of her. , An Even Break. ' Wigwag I hate a man who la always borrowing jmoney.

"I'M Not Lcttin' On" They say that I must be Just as good, And watch my l"s and Q's; Not mind a bit if trouble should Give me the awful hluos; And that Old Santa Clans won't come To fill my stocking tight, It I should break the least command That mother brings to light. And that a leter I must write To tell him what I choose, For when that grand old airship comes He has no time to lose. The chiming sleigh that used to be Is now all out of style, And newer fads so grand to see Mattes Santa wear a smile. Now when I wrlle my letter soon, To please the folks around, ' I'll give myself just ample room To write the things I've found Upon the pantry's tallest shelf, That mother's hid away; She'll play like Santa Clans himself Has brought from far away. Now. Sis has all hor rnndXmnde, And I'ncle Hill has sent A hobby horse and soldiers brave, 1 tell you I'm content. There's lots of their bundles tight, That I must let alone; I'm laughing In my sleeves all right, Hut I'm not lottin' on. They talk a lot every night In deep, soft undertones. Of the great ocean of delight I'll find on Christmas morn. They can't fool me. for I am wise About who Santa Is." But then, of course, I'll act surprised And not he lettln' on.
