The time was when instruction
was given in the schools regard­
ing the proper use o f capital let­
ters, but this must be one o f the
lost arts, judging from much o f
the copy that shows up at news­
paper offices, and the tendency
seems to be, especially with those
who hammer typewriters, to use
too many, rather than too few
capitals. This applies to the fair­
ly well educated in a general way,
as well as to those o f meager ed­

A whole wagon load o f O. A.
C. students, a part o f whom were
young women, came to Newberg
last Thursday afternoon to visit
and inspect the M. C. Wire &
Son poultry yards out north o f
town. I f poultry raising is to be
their calling, and they stick on
the job as closely as one or fwo

Our good friend, W. C. De
Pew, editor and publisher o f the
Lebanon Criterion, who is con­
fronted with a ten-thousand-dol-
lar libel suit, is cheerful under
the pressure. This is what he
says:
It is not Always the wisest thins: in
the world for the average man to break
into print over his -own signature.
Like a Ford automobile, it at times re­

up too hard. It isn’t at all likely that
Frank Steen had any intention o f libel­
ing anyone when he wrote a communi­
cation for publication in The Criterion,
nor did the editor when he gave it
space in the cwhunns o f his paper.
However, others think different,
nd
the consequences are that both Steen
and the editor are defendants in a libel
suit.
W e don’t believe that either
Shakespeare or Solomon originated the
following little phrase: “ The wisdom
o f the average man is in many ways

““ He don’ t gamble or drink or

New York woman is reported to
ping from the Poughkeepsie
New York, Star, which our ex­
change editors will no doubt ap­
preciate:
Wby docs a calamity like sn impend­
ing war cause men and women to burst
into song?
The Star has been flooded o f late
with poems written by well meaning
citizens on the war which the United
States threatens to enter.
Lord Bryce not long ago, when asked
what in hit opinion wae America’s
greatest need, replied, "P o e ts.”
That may be. W e are a cold and un­
romantic lot in this country and wo
need some kind o f a warming influence.
The Star believe# in poety and wo
should like to see real poets encourag­
ed. But we wish to be eparod the or­
deal o f bad poetry. Poetry which does
not scan. Poetry which is lame and
halt. Poetry which makes the cold
chills run down your back.
And this is the kind o f poetry which
comes to the editor’ s desk when calam­
ity threatens.
Throughout the land
there are persons who sit and wait,
seemingly, fo r something dreadful to
happen so they can embalm it in undy­
ing verse. With rolling eye and bulg­
ing cheek they spread themselves all
over about ten deep pages and then
they send the handsome effort tooth s
editor.
Some editors are young and tendon:
hearted; they have not seen much o f
the world and its horrors. So they fal
for this poetry and put it iij their pa­
per where seeing and reading it, count­
less thousands are made to mourn.
This poetry deals with death in its
worst forms. Or with the miseries o f
those who cannot die but would, gladly,
if they knew that someone was writing
poetry about them.
The Star believes in poetry. We are
even willing to print it in our paper if
it will only conform to certain well rec­
ognized rules regarding its construc­
tion. We have no idea o f trying to
suppress any meek, inglorious Milton.
We only desire to protect the public
and to save ourselves from grief and
sorrow. So, good, my poet, pray see
that your rhymes rhyme and your met­
er meets, before sending It out upon
the world.
