' , Rain; warmer tonight; fresh southeasterly winds, A BIT Of SENTIMENT ( A returning Canadian officer, iu Talided out of the service because of severe wounds, presented to com- . pany of loyal American citizens at Seattle recently a situation that la undoubtedly worthy of serious , thought. It was a situation based on sentiment, but that doea not ren der it any the lesa worthy of consid eration, because In many ways it is a war of sentiment that we are en- 0 gaged In. This officer, whose honorable ser vice lends to his words the greatest , weight says that here In America we are misusing the phrase, "over the top," In a way that cannot fail to jar most unpleasantly on any man who has ever gone over the top of the trench in a drive against the Hun. Going over the top, he says, is an experience that is hallowed by so much unselfish sacrifice and so much heroism that It Is unjust to the brave men who go out of the trenches and into battle to employ the phrase in any connection less he-, role than tbat out of which it first sprang, says the Eugene Register. Is there any practical-minded soul who la ready to say that be is not right? The man who goes over the top of his own trench line In an at tack lays upon the altars of patriot ism and duty everything in the world be has to give. He takes his life cheerfully In his handa and says to his country: 'Here it Is' take It If It is needed." Behind him is every thing a man holds dear life and happiness; home, wife and children; mother and friends; the career he mi gat have achieved. In front of him are possible death and that which is worse than death. Yet at 'the word of command he go?B for-! ward. It is an act of heroism tbat can never be adequately commemor ated. Yet we say lightly and thought-! lessly that war stamp drives have1 gone "over the top." When Lane county, or Umatilla county, or Ben-' ton county' passes Its quota of some J fund that is being raised, we say of It that It has gone "over the top." We mean no disrespect, of course; but It is hardly good taste to speak of a common, ordinary, everyday little triumph In a phrase that was .coined out of heroism and sacrifice and loyalty so great and so pure as to pass all understanding.
