OLLEGE GIRLS ENGAGE IN HI HI-
N ESS
Misses Jean Cook mid Evelyn Byrd
arrived home from Seattle last week
where they Inul completed the fresh
man year in the University o( Wash
ington, Tliey at once cast about for
ROOM occupation during the vacation
period and an an opening presented
llsolf to take charge of the Liberty
Theatre they took it and gave their
first program on Thursday night.
They are ambitious to Improve the
programs of the house during the
summer mouths and are now nego
tiating for a higher class of pictures.
It Is the Intention to give their pa
trons Paramouat-Arteraft service If
It Is within their reach.
Picture show business is not what
it used to be as there la much ad
ditional expense In the way of war
tax on admissions, films, express, etc..
besides during the vacation period
the crowds are always less because
of people moving out for the summer
- besides nil the boys who are In the
army and other- older boys in
the shipyards, therefore the crowds
are small.
They have some special programs
arranged for the celebration period
next week. On the night of the 3rd
they will show "The Battle of Getty
burg" as a special in keeping with
the Pioneer Day program. This will
be of marked Interest to the old peo
ple and the O. A. K. men and their
wives nre to be made guests of honor
at this program if they desire to at
tend, with seats reserved for them.
On the night of the 4th a big dou
ble feature Is provided that Is full
of the spirit of the times. "In the
Wake of the Hun" and "The Stars
and Stripes In France", are both bill
ed for thut night, also a good come
dy. TbOM pictures are sure to be not
only Inter. 'Ming but thrilling to I lie
people. On this evening the man
agement will reserve seats for the
boys who leave in tie' army draft
on July 6. The boys are to be given
i feed by the Honor Guurd (Drls at
8 o'clock and following this dinner
they will be guests of the Liberty
during the program, going later to
the hall for the dance where they will
again be the honor guests of the
Honor Guard Girls.

THE PRINCIPLES OK 1770 AH AP
I LIED TO OCR PRESENT WAR
The United States is '.lie only coun
try whose government v. as construc
ted upon the principles of human
right, and human liberty. The gov
ernments of European countries
grew up by degrees as extension, and
consolidations of the feudal system.
They were autocratic, opposed to In
dividual freedom, and any advance In
liberty ror the body or the people hud
to h"' wrung from them by bitter niu
rilct. The Culled State government
on the contrary, came Into being as a
guarantee of the liberty of the people
The rtrst statement in the Declar
ation of independence tn knowledges
man's right to "life, liberty and the
pursuV 'i.f happiness," and the for
mation of a now country Is based up
on Hit' oiiein.es or the king against
this right.
The men who signed the Declara
tion did so us a protest against arbi
trary power. They had little to gain
ami much to lose by the separation
rrom the mother country.. American
troops were tew- and undisciplined.
American resources undeveloped. The
outcome or the struggle for ludepen
dece seemed at the time more than
doubtful. Yet these men With hun
dreds or their rollowers. chose to
hazard their property, their homes
and families and their very lives In
defence of the principle of human
liberty.
America war victorious in the war.
.in) acme to a position where she
could develop her power and re
sources. The United' States became
one or the greatest and most prosper
ous nations of the world. But the
circumstances or her Inception have
laid a peculiar obllgaton on her. She
must stand as the champion of free
dom of be recreant to her own tra
ditions. Our entrance Into the war with
Germany la the logical outcome or
this position. We were predestined
to It. The United States could not
watch unmoved the spectacle of a
great arbitrary power, utterly un
scrupulous as to means, using Its
mighty resources and Its strong mili
tary system toward the enslaving of
Europe.
Our national holiday this year will
be both a celebration and a solemn
ity. We are giving our money power
nd our men power toward the pro
secution ot a great war, In order to
ensure to the free of this country
and the oppressed of Europe the
right to "lite, liberty and the pursuit
ot happiness, 'not only ror today, hut
ror generation, to come. On this an
niversary or the birth ot our nation
let us reel more than ever that In
such a cause no sacrifice can be too
great,--that the love of country and
the love or humanity are not mere
phrases, but a living reality to us all.

Meat restrictions are off in Oregon
The regulation limiting the cou.ump

and certain other state, according to
a recent ruling of the national food
administration.
The reason ror this action lien iw
the problems or transportation and
the difficulty involved In shipping:
meat to other localities. The Htate
has an abundant supply of meat on
hand, which cannot be shipped out;
hence, it should be eaten.
Ofriclals of the local rood admin

admitted that the restriction had
been removed, but that no mention
hud been made because of fear that
other states, still under regulations,
might think they were being dlscnm
