WHEN AUTUMN WEDS SPRING
Nona McAdoo, whose only commont
when her father, the secretay of the
treasury, married hor 24 year old
chum, Eleanor Wilson, daughter of
the president, was, "I should worry"
has left her father and step mother
to sooth the pains and the spirits of
wounded French soldiers.
Washington knows that the mar
riage of her 50-year old father and
24-year old chum was a hard blow to
her. The capital knows that it de
prived her of her father, her home
and her dearest chum, all at one
stroke. Not that Nona has not been
perfectly sweet about the whole thing
She has never uttered a word except
the "I should worry" comment. But
Washington knows that she really did
worry. News item.
It is a sad affair when an old man
man assays the impossible task to re
new his youth in an unnatural mar
riage. Nothing is more pitiable than
the status of a man's family, after he
has taken unto himself a new and
young wife.
The churches have ever failed to in
fluence against such crimes as the un
ion of ago verging onto decripitude
and youth. But from tho influence of
science on morals there is beginning
to bo felt a social disapproval of tho
partial abandonment of one family in
new love adventures. When a man
has reached the age of fifty and is the
father of a large family he has al
ready played the part nature has as
signed him.
Youth. and strength are the quali
ties desirable for parenthood.
Science has discovered thai men un
dergo a functional change nearly as
marked ns women which disqualifies
them for procreation. Marriages of
age with youth are not only an in
justice to tho man's first family and
to the young woman enmeshed in an
unnatural alliance, but it is decidedly
against tho public welfare and the
well being of the race.
WEALTH IN THE EARTH
Gold mining in this section of Ore
gon has taken on a spectacular activ
ity with apparent good grounds for
success. But the more important
mining ventures or prospecting is be
ing done very quietly
Tho coal and iron deposits are re
ceiving attention from largo monied
interests and it is rumored they are
quietly getting possession of large
deposits. It requires largo investment
of capital and great risk to develop
such fields and the advent of capital
that will assume the work is to be
welcomed and encouraged.
The ancients said: "The good die
young.". They might as well have
said that tho corageous die young. It
is useless to lament such untimely
deaths as that of young James Os
born in the breakers by Table rock.
Youth and courago ever will seek ad,
venturo and tho thrill of danger.
Barring the sad accident, their deep
sea flhliig cruise would huvo been
schooling for hazardous and meritor
ious ventures In tho larger nfTuini of

newspaper, the Delecno ae iouiouse,
throws some light on tho question as
to whether Germany or France was
the transgressor in being more fully
mobilized before the commencement
of hostilities. This shows that France
was as fully prepared as Germany. A
part of the interview follows
"I asked him if it were really true
fact is the real test of men ued for
as the public and even tho combatants
believed we had been outflanked
in Belgium by overwhelming masses
Joffre is one of those men who thru-
out their existence never told a lie.
"The general was neither astonish
ed nor offended by my qnestion.
" 'Not at all, not at all,' replied the
general. Our army was in sufficient
numbers. We ought to have won the
battle at Charleroi. We had ten chanc
es to one to win it. We lost it thru
our own faults, by mistakes of our
commanders
"There was a certain number of
generals whom I trusted but who im
perfectly came up to my hopes. Tho
fact is the real test ofmen fitted for
warfare is war itself rather than
strategical colleges. Tho keenest in
telligence, the most complete know
ledge are of little value if to them re
not added certain qualities of action.
"Such arc the responsibilities of
war that they paralyze the rarest fac
ulties in men of merit. That is what
happened to some of my chiefs, -ncy
could not do justice to their mefits."
WAR AND SOCIALISM
Socialism professes opposition to
war and yet war is giving socialism
lo the world such as its wildest advo
cates never hope dtosee.
In Germany practically all industry
banking, credit, currency, transports
tion, commerce and food have been
taken possession of by government.
No man may work, distribute, invest,
borrow, trade and oven eat without of
ficial sannction.
In Great Brittain, owing to labor
troubles, parliament has now empow
ered the ministry to comandeer all
manufactures that may be needed for
.var purposes. Hereafter, as occasions
on may arise, Government will soize
and operate under martial law any
2stablishment the output of which is
required for national defense.
The war lords are doing more for
tho socialists than the socialists ever
breamed they could do for themselves,
(t is to be presumed that there will bo
Teace some day, but it will be peace in
ihe tight embrace of state socialism,
m tight that even socialists will gasp
ind demand relief? New York
World.
It is difficult to comprehend how a
person who writes editorially for as
prominent a paper as the World could
bo so ignorant and devoid of the faint
est conception of socialism as this
paragraph displays.
Government ownership with the
.-ompetitive system still in existence
has not the faintest resomblanco to
locialism. We do not wish to speak
for socialism but simply to correct a
wrong impression as to what consti
tutes socialism. One fact is plain it
.s not military capitalism such as is
now in vogue in Europe.
The Stork
Last night the stork camo stalking,
And stork, beneath your wing,
Lay, lapped in dreamless slumber,
Tho tinyest little thing:
From Babyland, out yonder,
Besides a silver sea,
The stork, a priceless treasure,
Has brought to mine and me.
List night, my dear one listened,
And, wife, you know the cry,
Tho dear old stork has sought our
home,
Oh, many a time, gone by.
Ami on your gcntlo bosom,
1 found the tiny thing,
That from tho realm out yonder,
Our friend, tho stork, did bring.
lnst night u bubo awakened
And babe, how tttrango and new,
Muni seem tho homo and K'op!u,
Tho stork hutli brought you to;
And yet, inuthlnks, you llku It,
You neither nturo nor wecji,
llut cluur to my dear one,
You nulilli; mul you rreui,
Jjint night, tliu vtnrk Mulklng,
iJh, utility hvm ui inltw.
