Secretary Daniels has made
himself solid with Oregonians by
announcing that the battleship
Oregon will be the first to pass
through the Panama canal. Now
if he will consent to having the-
slogan “ Made In Oregon” em
blazoned on the sides o f the old
ship our cup will be full to over
flowing.
The woods is said to be full ot
Republicans and near Republi
cans who want to be governor,
and who are grooming them
selves for the race for the nomin
ation at the primary election,
though the date is many months
off. In the multiplicity ot candi
dates is where the Democratic
brethren get their hope for suc-
at the election.
The time is at hand when
young men and young women
should be looking forward to the
time for entering school for next
year. The advantages offered in
Newberg by the high school and
college are excellent and there
are many young people in this
community who will see their
mistake later if they fail to profit
by the opportunities offered for
fitting themselves for after life.

W. J. Stater did the “ Angel of
mercy” act, Tuesday, by coming
to Newberg and effecting an ad
justment of a difficulty between
tw o men and thus heading off
an expensive lawsuit that was
brewing. How much better it
was than to have said “ go to it
boys and fight it out in the
courts.” Litigation is expensive,
it nearly always leaves a bad
taste in the mouth, and in the
end the result must be left to thp
judgement of men. It is better
to settle the difficulty out of
court and save money and hard
feeling.
President Frank Jenkins and
Secretary Elbert Bede of the Wil
lamette Vailey Press Association
have issued a circular letter sug
gesting a meeting o f the associa
tion at Newport August 17.
They say they want 75 recruits

GIANTS TO DEBATE QUES
TION O F DISARMENT.
Ex-governor Frank Hanly, of
Indiana, and Cap. Richard P.
Hobson are to debate the ques
tion at Indiana Chautauquas,
“ Resolved that the Nations ot
the World Should Disarm.”
Hanly takes the affirmative and
Hobson, the negative.
The question to be debated is
one that concerns ndt only the
people of America, but the whole
world. Both men want t uni-
versal peace, but they differ pn
the question o f how to bring it
about. The debate is attracting
national attention. H o b s o n
says we must build a greater
navy and begin at once. Hanly
savs, no; the greater our big
stick, the more desire to use it.
It is noteworthy that each
speaker believes in the position
which he takes in this debate.
Hanly is the leader of the peace
party in America. . He has writ
ten books and led campaigns.
He is an orator with a human
appeal that everybody feels. He
sounds another chord o f elo
quence. Hobson deals in the facts
o f today and builds a threaten
ing tom orrow.
Hanly recites
the past and brings from it hope.
Hobson believes America should
have a navy equal to Europe's.
Hanly points to the groaning
back o f Europe as the thing we
should shun.
ON THE JOB FOR SEVEN
TEEN YEARS.
The opinion of an official who
has served the people so well
that he has been kept on the jo b
continuously, ought to be worth
something when he talks along
the line ot the work he has be
come familiar with.
George M. Brown, of Rose-
burg, who has been prosecuting
attorney in his district for the
past seventeen years, said in a
recent interview with a Journal
writer: “Justice is often defeated
because ot our defective jury sys
tem. We excuse a man it he
knows anything about the case.
In England in 40 consecutive
trials by jury only tw o jurors
were excused. We spend weeks
of time and thousands o f dollars
selecting a jury in a big case. It
is a wrong and unscientific
system.”
“ You have been on the job 17
years; what causes most o f the
crime?”
“ That question is an easy one.
Liquor is responsible for a vast
majority ot criminal cases. The
money received from licenses does
not pay a tittle o f the cost o f the
results of liquor. If your cattle
got into a field and kept dying
or going crazy and injuring
people from eating some poison
weed you would root up and
destroy the weed or put up a
strong fence around it to keep
the cattle out. We ought to do
the same with liquor. When we

of July (July 10, old style). A
highly picturesque celebration it
was, too, in Constantinople at least,
with its magnificent array of rugs
and medieval tents on the hill oi
Liberty, its review o f troops by
the saltan, its procession o f the
guilds of the city, and its evening
illuminations.

the splendor loving Sultan Ahmet
III. discovered' how unparalleled a
theater for such displays were the
steep shores o f the Golden Horn
and the Bosporus. The acceasiqn
day o f the reigning sovereign made
an annual occasion for great fami
lies to set their houses and gardens
on fire with an infiaitv of little oil
lamps and, in all literainess, to keep
open house.
This was the one purely Becular

o f the Prophet Elijah, o f 'the god
Apollo, and 1 suspect o f personages

George— namely, April 23, old style,
or May 6, according to our mode o f
reckoning. 1 must add that he is
frowned upon in orthodox circles
and feasted only in Constantinople
or other localities subject to Greek
influence.— H. G. Dwight in Scrib

Punishing a C ourt Foal.
Ivan the Terrible, Peter , the
Great and the Emperor I’aul had
rough way« with their fools. A dag
ger thrust would follow a poor joke
and banishment any sign of declin
ing wit. Once when Fougere, the
jester o f Czar Paul, offended his
royal master he was permitted to
depart in peacq. In the middle o f
the night, however, he was aroused
and ordered to get up and prepare
for immediate banishment to Si
beria. In vain the unhappy man
pleaded. He was bundled into a
dark van and driven away on his
long journey. Day after day, week
after week.* it lasted. Upon arrival
he stepped out into the presence of
— the czar. All the time he had
been driven not toward Siberia, but
around qnd around St. Petersburg!
W ood an W a te r Pipas.
London's water supply formerly
came through wooden pipes. These
were o f the simplest construction,
formed o f the stems o f small elm
trees, drilled through the center
and ent in lengths o f about six feet,
one end being tapered so as to fit
into the adjoining pipe.
The
wooden pipes, o f which at one time
more than 400 milea were in use,
leaked considerably, decayed rapid
ly, burst during frosts and were al
ways troublesome. It was not nntil
1830 that they began to be super
seded by cast iron, and a quarter of
a century later some of the old
wooden pipes were still in nse.

Shep Wright, an aged gardener and

man. Approaching Shep, the Eng

“ Ah— er— my man, the hedge!
Yea. 1 see, George got this hedge

“ Reckon he did,” replied Shep.
“ He got this whole blooming coun
