J-J js not an unusual xniit wiut uMeimunu ijmanvo.
Nevertheless, tin example of it which occurreij at Pnno
ville this week is worthy of notice. Elsie Augustine was
the night, telephone operator. At 2 A. M. smoke be
gan pouring into the room where hIio was at work, from
8 newspaper office next door. Eire had broken out in
the newspaper plant. The volume of the smoke in
creased rapidly.
The operator did not seream. folic did not iaint.
Bhe did not rush into the street. She just stuck to her
'nwitehhoard and called un as many members of tn!
volunteer fire doimrtmeiit as alio could reach. Then
kIh. milled un the telenhono company's district manager
at Bend, to report to him that the l'rinevillo plant was
in danger. By the time she had finished that duty the
firemen had extinguished the fire next door, although
the place was badlv gutted, So Elsio Augustine' open
ed up tho windows to let out llio sinouo on wnicu sue
had been choking and then finished out her night's
worlc.
To one trained as Elsie Augustine has been trained,
it all tioetnod simple and natural enough to do what
she did. But heroes .have been acolaimcd for less.
Editorial Penalties.
APROPOS of (ho shooting at Kelso, Wash., of Thomas
Dovery, newspaper editor, who had become embroiled
in a row of political factions, the Cownllis Gazette-Times
has been philosophizing a little upon the penalties that
one incurs in being an editor, Says tho (lazotto-Timos of
the editor:
Ho often finds himself In a town row Unit ho cannot escape
If ha has convictions nnd Is not nfrnld to expross thorn. Ho has
a choico. lie. cun Rive his views of the situation or he can be
a jacliruhblt. If he tries In carry water on both shoulders he is
pretty sure to spill soma of It down his neok. It he takes aides,
he Is bound to offend the other half of his oonstltuemiy. If he
doesn't tnko sides lie is mnllgnod as n coward. If ha is a phil
osopher he will go into the. fluht with tho confident knowledge
that many of thoau who cun think of nothing mean enough to say
about jilni will in the next important battle bo arrayed on his sitfe
ot whatever conlruvorsy muy be involved. H ts the wheel of,
fortune.
One wonders, after reading (ill thin, whether to dub
tho editor a martyr or a hero, As n matter of faot ho is
neither, lie is assailed for li Is opinions moro frequently
and with more vigor, perhaps, than tho nvorngo man in
other callings, but that is because his opinions are ex
pressed publicly. "Where the average man tells a friend
or a few friends what he thinks about things, tho editor
tolls tho world, Naturally those who disagree with him
recognize that his medium of publicity anil the prestige
of hip position give him a certain advantage, and this
sometimes embitters their own remarks.
It is (piito true, as tho (lazette-Timos remarks, that
if the editor tries to carry water on both shoulders ho
is pretty likely to spill some of it down his neck. No
body, whether editor or otherwise, can carry water on
both shoulders successfully very long, on any live issue.
But no self respecting newspaper or person wants to do
so anyway. On the whole the editor gets as fair a deal
from the public as the man engaged in any other lino of
.work or business. There aro usually moro brickbats
thrown at than roses thrown to, till of ns, whatever bo
our oalling. . ' . . . v
Three years ago a petition was. filed by tho Portland
housewives' council with the state public service commis
sion for a reduction of streetcar fares to a nickel. It
came up for hearing this week. Eivo-cont carfare days
are gone and it is "altogether likely that tho reduction
sought could not have been justified. But what rea
son can the publio service commission givo for the
three-year delay in hearing the matter?
The Springfield girl who shot herself because her
mother had scolded her, probably needed the scolding.
And Jy the time she is a few years older she will most
likely come to an appreciation of the fact that mother's
scoldings are quite generally for daughter's good.
The United Slates national and Eugene Loan and
Savings banks are, in their joint relation to one another
ten years old. A husky ami healthy ten-year-old is the
consolidated institution which observed i'ts anniversarv
with a bank family gathering the other evening.
Soon we shall have the annual Cluiutnuquu. It's
n good and wholesome form of summer entertainment
,nnd will doubtless make the success (hat it deserves
here.

Amundsen's Flight

to the. profit of iiaws-featuro syndi

with orotin weather- tales during initl-

for future lectures,, magazine articles
and books.
If Amundsen proves Admiral "eary
a faker, as l'eary proved Uoc look
to be, and locates the pole on laud
instead of n field of flouting ice, as
l'eary claimed, tho trip will have
been worthwhile, but any such result

Captain Gaorgq Meyers Busy With Apologies to Nineteen Wash
ington Newspaper Men
By CHAKLKS P. STEWART
INEA Service Writer)
WASHINGTON, Juno 20. Oat.
George Meyers of the United
States navy is busy apologizing to
uintoen Washington newspaper men,
one after another.
He isn't permitted to herd them to
got her nnd apologize to them in n
body, or to call them up on the tele
phone and get it over that way.
He must traipse around frpm of
fice to office, apologizing to them per
sonally, separately and individually.
One, apology is bad enough, liut
lft in succession gosh I
Meyers isu't doing" this apologising
voluntarily. 8eeretary of the Navy
Wilbur sentenced him to do it, for
spoiling a publicity stunt tbe secre
tary bad his heart set on.
Now, Wilbur saw a chance recently
to get some swell advertising. The
dirigible Los Angeles was due to make
a trip-i'from her Lnkehtrst (X. J.)
hangar down to Annapolis, tin, un to
'iba mast of her mooring fchip, the
I'atokn, stay nn hour pr two, then
fly over Washington, hook onto the
i'atokn once more for a short rest.
and finally sail back to Lakchurst.
'I II have some Washington cor
respondent go up in her while she's
in this vicinity," thought (he secre
tary, "They'll write up their trip and
it'll be fine stuff for us.''
Ho began telephoning to a selected
list of correspondents the biggest
men in the business and known to
him to be particularly interested in
tbe navy. ..(.;;f !:
The notice was very short nnd
sonic of them found it hard to get
away, but Wilbur was insistent. He
said it was, their duty to go. They'd
be royally entertained, too. As a
favor to him, he asked it.
The result was nineteen disting
uished journalists nt Annapolis the
next morning the morning of (he
Los AngtHes expected event. , .
Jtut how to get to the Patnka, at
a-nchor nn hour's sail down Chess
peoke Tiny? It seemed odd no ar
rangement had been made.
llowovor, the correspondents scar
ed up a launch, in due season hauled
alongside the mooring ship, and start
ed up the ladder.
Capt. Meyers, smoking on the upper
deck, sent an orderly to investigate
tho callers.
"Whudda ya want?'' demanded1 the
functionary harshly. Tbe corres
pondents told.
The orderly reported to the cap
tain the visitors waiting, now sulk
ily, meanwhile who sent n message
by his executive officer.
"We can't feed ya," the latter in
forpiod them hospitably.
"Here, you," sternly addressing one
of tho newspaper men, "ya can't
amoks here. Ya better all go back
to Annapolis,'' he continued, "and
when tha Los Angeles gets here, you
can come out in the bay and look ;. t
her if ya wantn. Civilians aren't
allowed on board.' .
Secretary W'ilbur got some free
publicity out of his little party nil
right, but it's doubtful if he cared for
that kind. ,
The next thing anybody knew Mey
ers had been summoned from the I'.i
tokft to the secretary's office to do a
lot of explaining. Then began bis
tour of apology.
m
To n distinguished bystander it
looks n little as if the official who
Issued nil those invitations nnd then
