RIPPLING RHYMES
By Walt Mason
CHALKING IT DOWN
. I beard tho butcher sny, while slicing
rounds of beef, "My life Is bleak and
gray, I'm full of care and grief. For
people buy my wurst, my livor rich nnd
brown, and say, 'Until the first, just
kindly chalk It down.' And when the
first is here, nnd bills are duo and ripe,
these buyers don's appear to pay mo for
my trine. I are them blithclv nass. in
flivvers, on the street; they need their
coin for gas, and cannot pay for meat."
I heard the grocer wall, wiitlo sugaring
his sand, "A hundred owe me kale, and
their accounts must stand. 1 need it
very hour, I'm suffering for scads, for
I must buy the flour I sell to other lads.
Tho prunes that I dispense don't fall
like summer ruin; I need the pounds and
pence my credit to maintain. I'm s-l-
doin reimbursed with farthing, groat or
crown; men say, 'lintil the first you 11
kindly chalk it down.' The first mines
on apace, the second and the third; I
ee my patron chase in tumbrils moat
absurd. All full of vsin desires, th y
burn the roadway soil; they need their
coin for tires, for gasoline and oil."
One song the dealer trills: "Trade would
Improve. I wen. if men would pay their
bills, and burn less gasoline."
The United States has had a party government since Arl
ington's time. It would not bo surprising- if the present con
gress developed something different.
The republicans have ti normal majority in both houses.
The republicans had an even narrower majority during
President Wilson's last two years in office. In those two
years opposition to tho Wilson policies was the strongest
element in republican hearts, and all manner of republicans
managed to sink differences to maintain that narrow major
ity on questions oi organization. t
Now common enmity does not servo to bind the majority
into common cause. The balance of power in both house
of representatives andi senate lies in the hands of a score of
men where fealty to organization plans is far from sure. In
the house a moderate uprising might upset tne committee;
arrangements. In the senate a revolt would put public
business at a complete standstill. -
Senators on wnom ine republican organization places al
most no reliance on party questions include LaFollette,
Frazier, Brookhart and Ladd. Senator Borah has. always
stood with tho party on organization questions, and has now
a'doilar a buslielln'CTiIeago and this in spite of the highest
prftteetjve tariff mte lnstory or tne nation.

stead, as a Famier-Laborito, with possibly 'Magnus' Johnson
as an associate, will be counted on to bo as anti-republican
as ho is anti-democratic.
Theprospects are "bright for at least three distinct trrouns
in the senate, each hostile to the two others. The first idea
of such an alignment would 1e that it would constitute a
complete liar to legislation. Tho country has hoard many
suggestions recently that tlio two-party idea is not a com
plete success. It seems aliout due to try something else.
THE BOYS WERE TIRED, TOO
Frequently tho subject of world peace is discussed today
in a bored tone. , There aro some who want attention paid
oxclusively to domestic issues. Ignoring that their coun
try is part of the world, they take the attitude: "Let tho
world take care of its own troubles." Mention of tho Leaa-ue
of Nations or the World Court make them "sick." Generally
all this mention of war prevention makes them "tired."
. It is because, top many Jiave been led into that attitude
through tho centuries that war, taking its terrible toll of
human lives and burdening the people with extra taxation,
has continued. In the relaxation from some terrible strug
gle, selfish politicians creep back, putting their petty person
al umuiuons aoovo everyunng else, ana tno great resolves
of tho people While in tho agony of war to end resort to
aims, aro dulled. Not until tho people sustain the enthusi
asm for poaco that they show just at the close of some long
struggle will they ever put an end to war.
Never for a moment should it bo forgotten, as somo poli
tician who was far from tho scono of conflict durinir the
groat war tells of how tired this world peace talk makes him.
iuni uio uoys in mo trencucs aiao usca to Decomo very tired

tho structure would have been completed long agof
"Mr. Borah, it may also 'bo observed, is in almost ,
complete harmony with. President Harding, as tho
voice of tho republican party, in all current public
questions. Thoro aro some, among them The Ore
gonian, who would not liavo achieved harmony in
precisely tho fashion it was achieved; nevertheless
it exists. It is a fact, n conditon, and must lie ack
nowledged and accepted. It is also truo that Mr.
Borah brings moro support to the requblican party
than could bo secured from any other source, in sub
stitution for it, if ho, wore to leave it, or woro driven
out. But what is to he tho motive or basis for, his
exclusion t Besides, how is it to ho done, and who
is to do it T" Orcgonian.
President Harding, Senator Borah and tho editor of t.hn
Orcgonian nro now in comploto 'harmony the Orcgonian says
so and that setlles it font that docs not make it less difficult
to toll whero the throo stand on any important public question?
Tho prosidtmt was off ho Alaskan, coast, according to the
latest advices, mid is it to foo assumed that the Orcgonian
means tlio wholo outfit is at sea?
But also it seemed as if life had found
n new meaning in Ins Heart; as n ins
heart too had been upon u long journey.
Aim1' it hud been many things, things
never to b fotgotten. Yes, life was good!
Life and Love!
And the thing that impressed Ogden
most of all was that all the peace and
and forget to do,' than from1 tho actual
uteris of either the hushanu or wile.
The man walked on slowly musingly
and u tense, half frightened look crept
buck into his face.
"Oh, tiod! That's it it's the things
people don t do that let the machinery
get rusty." He shuddered. "That's what
was wrong with Ked and me." The smile
broke again across his countenance.
But, thank goodness, we got caught up
iu time thank fortune, I can see the
sun again and know now bright it is:
Just then he saw a neighbor approach
ing down the street. Ogden stiuared his
shoulders and greeted him with a smile.
The man put out his bund and wrung
tlie other s heartily.
"iieiio, uguen: uosn you re not tne
happiness he had ever longed for hail, fellow that's been so blasted sick, arc
after all, been found so near when lie you't I'll be darned if 1 believe it. You
had Ihoucht he must go hunting for it
Oil, he had been almost fruntic searching
for it, and all the while he was only, run
ning away from tho best love in all the
world.
"Kvery fellow ought to got this blast
ed fact in his old head," he theorized
to himself as he walked along. Ami that's
this that no one can do more for you
than your own wife. When you get mar
ried well, that's your life, and the best
happiness you can find on earth is be
lieving in that life and sticking to it."
Tho sun was shining brightly and Ogr
den stopped abruptly and fairly opened
his soul to let in the warm glory of it.
"Gosh!" he declared aloud. "I won
der it tho sun ever shone so brightly
before!"
"Life in like that I suppose," he went
on silently. "Life and love. You just get
to overlooking the glory of it. I"ll bet u
hat there are more Kinashed-iip mar
riages from what you forget to sec,
look why 'you look ten years younger.
net you ve been ott on a vacation some
where."
Ogden grinned. "Thanks. Y'ou know I
feel ten years younger and that's a fact.
I guess being sick was guod for me. hact
is I recommend it. Take it from nie
if you ever find yourself getting Btale;
find life isn't all you want it to be
why. try 'er pneumonia, or smallpox, or

' The neighbor looked doubtful, looked
nuiKzicut in fact, as if perhaps his friend
Ogden had been more dangerously ill
even than he had thought. Well, guess
I d better be hustling on, be said
"Goodbye, old top," Ogden replied.
Hon t let me keep you on t let any.
thing ever hold you down in life. This is
a great existence, isn't it? Goodbye!" lie
said gayly, and there- was something
about the grin on his face that the
neighbor found rather startling.

which was certain to defeat his yearn

the railroad situation, but he udvanced
no remedies. At Denver, hG yearned
over 'the prospect of increased illicit
liipior traffic in New York," but ho neglected-
to explain why tho Federal (iov
crnment hud failed to prevent importa
tion at the borders. At Salt 'Lake, he
yearned over the condition of the fanner

only recent remeilial legislation for agri
culture had been- pushed through over
his protest by the farm bloc. So when,
at Idaho Falls, he yearned over the
plight of the city consumer, his yearning

unuccompanied by blue-prints.
THE CHASE OF OREGON
, (Oregon Journal)
In a letter to Secretary Work, Gov
ernor Pierce, spenking of tho discrimi
nation against Oregon in. federal recla
mation, says:
Washington has received from the
federal reclamation department v
nearly double what it hns paid in,
Idaho practically three times as
much, while Oregon has received a
shade more than one-half. Judging
by results, the department obviously
regards Washington with four times ,
nnd Idnho with six times the favor...
with which it regards our state.
Oregon, like Washington and Idaho,
is largely a semi-arid state. Its ir
rigation needs are just ns great ns
are those of its sister states.
The figures of what tiie three North
west states paid into the federal recla
mation fund nnd received out of it tell
tlio tale. Here they are:
Washington paid in $7,233,577 and re
cciveiP $12,328,(100.
Idaho paid in $0,73-1.302 and received
$1!I.!M4,210.
Oregon paid in $11,540,682 nnd re
ceived $0,443,100. Part of one Oregon
project lies in California, a fact that
considerably reduces tho amount, that
Oregon is charged with receiving.
The Journal knows of no ground upon
which this very great discrimination can
be deft ndcil. Oregon paid in more than
twice what she got out of the fund.
Washington got out of the fund nearly
twice what she paid' in. Idaho got
nearly three timcB what she paid in.
