Pew bootleg patrons can give the excuse of an uncontrollable appetite, which was once the pitiable plea of the drunkard who sought to drown his remorse at public bars. The con firmed inebriate is passing, but the era is here when men and women drink in pursuit of fancied, hectic pleasure or merely because they consider it "smart" to evade and defy the nation's laws in order to exalt what they are pleased to regard as "personal liberty." They havs no craving for liquor and will not ac knowledge any crying need for it. They do not deserve pity, but scorn. They complicate the nation's prob lem in dealing with the liquor evil. They arc really responsible for the crimes of violence incident to the bootlegging traffic, since if there were no customers there would be no bootleggers. Many of them are in other respects sober-minded and re spectable citizens. When will they awaken to a sense of their own moral turpitude? When will they begin to realize that prohibition is not a farce but a serious and suc cessful effort to stamp out what had become an intolerable evil the open saloon the most important step in all history in the direction of pro moting "the greatest good of the greatest number?" AN EASY WAY OUT the general election will occasion no sorrow among those democrats who see no good in the sensation-mon-gering, England-baiting, Japan-hating Hearst sheets. Election returns show that net to the same extent as heretofore can the republicans rely upon Maine strength to win. News from Newberg will occasion no regret that a bootlegger, instead of his customers, got pretty well shot. Looks as though the republican party of Oregon were between the Portland Telegram and the deep blue sea. Rudyard Kipling is a poet. There's a good deal he doesn't know, but he doesn't know that he doesn't know it. We fancy that Oregon will feel strongly disinclined toward sjating Marshfield's Hall. It's a sad reflection that the coal which goes up in price will also go up in smoke. "Turko-Allied War Loooms." E. 0. headline. With Satan as the weaver. "Toreador trousers" are now the rage in Gotham. Bully breeches, eh? Looks as though Massachusetts is devoted to its Lodge. The forlorn Greeks can see no treat in retreating. Come, come, Rudyard! Quit your Kipling. SHOWS VALUE OF EDUCATION It occurs to the plain layman who knows nothing about international finance that the whole nroblem of foreign debt could be solved by ! Bulletin gives the following advantages ill euueuuoil . Bulletin Issued by Wisconsin Institu tlon Gives Some Facte That Are Worth Consideration. The Wisconsin Educational News granting a moratorium for twenty five years, during which time neither principal nor interest need be paid. This would relieve England, France and Italy, and would obviate repara tions pressure upon Germany which she asserts will overwhelm her. The United States does not need the money due from foreign nations, but docs need the trade that will not come save with the restoration of European normalcy. And each na tion at interest could "save its face, " as the Chinese say. We would not need to cancel nor would they need to repudiate the debts due us from foreign countries. Posterity will have profited, we trust, by the fruit of the great war fought at enormous cost to life and treasure by this gen eration. Let posterity pay its share when the world is stable. Permit us to suggest to the es teemed Portland Telegram that if anything the g. o. p. leaders may do will result in the election of a democratic governor, it shouldn't stand in the way of such a boon. We feel warranted in assuming that while the Episcopalians of East ern Oregon may not know wh m they want for bishop, they do know whom they do not want if he hap pens to be a socialist. mere may be some doubt as to whether Charlie Hall as an inde pendent candidate will hurt Ben 01 cott or Walter Pierce, but there'H no question that he'll hurt Charlie Hall. As Perry poins out in an Orcgon ian cartoon, there's a political fly in the tariff broth. What's more, the, people aren't going to forget that it was dropped in by republican cooks. "Ladies of the Invisible Eye" gave a Texas woman one hundred lashes. And the poor, bruised soul is in a position to tell the world that they weren't eye lashes, either. Kurd's anti-booze edict, if generally adopted in other plants, will do more than tons of dry literature to dis courage the thirst for bootleg liquor among the workingmen. An English cleric holds that Ger many should show a contrite heart. How she can show what she evidently does not possess he fails to explain. "The doctors who tell us to be careful about eating when unhappy should revise the restaurant prices," says Washington Post. It Is a financial Investment that yields the highest dividends.

"We have nicer roses than that," said little sister, by way of prelimi nary. "I don't think they are so big," said Jlmmle. "We have soine at home as big as a house." Just then the young woman's father came In. "How much do you weigh, Jlniniler he asked. "A hundred pounds," replied Jlmmle, Instantly. "That's a pretty good weight for such a young fellow," the man said, with a smile. "You see, I weigh BOO pounds, myself." "I weigh 1,000 pounds."

Berg, nat uralist, dabbing baking soda on a half score red bumps on hand and wrist, "there Is one thing a law-abiding, industrious honey bee loathes, it's a photographer." "How come?" Inquired an inquirer, lifting polite eyebrows. "Flashlights," said Miss Berg, em phatically. And It was flashlights that started . a carnival of self-arranged slaughter and sent two or three hundred children and their mothers and teachers milling around u great glass cage In a loop department store. Inside the "showcase" was a glass bee hive and a swarm of sure-enough bees. The swarm belongs to the Society for Visual Education and Is part of a nature exhibit Installed In the store. It wus brought from the Bvanston studio of the society by Miss Berg. The buzzers were lured from their winter coma by warmth and food and set to work making honey in the glass cage for the Instruction of public school pupils. Photographers taking pictures of the exhibit aroused the swarm and hundreds begun lighting. The colony broke up Into pairs which lashed and clawed and stung until scores lay dead on the floor. While the excited Insects were emerging from the hive Miss Berk opened u little door in the outer cage and sought to close the entrance. In un Instant her hand and wrist were covered with angry bees which drove their daggers Into her flesh. Children and mothers and teachers danced about squeaking warnings. Miss Berg finally abandoned her effort and the bees fought until exhausted. Chi cago Dully News. SUPPLY OF POTASH ASSURED Enough In Green Sand of New Jersey to Satisfy American Farmers for Ten Centurlae. Right at our door und until a few months ago quite unsuspected, lies enough potash to supply the needs of every American farmer for a thousand years. It is the famous green sund of New Jersey millions upon millions of tons of which are found In that state alone and running all the way down as far as Virginia. The Scientific American relates that half a century ago local farmers used it as a fertilizer, but for some reason abandoned it. Now its value has been recognized again and a big factory is being built at New Brunswick, N. J., for turning the green sand Into pure potash. At a recent meeting of the Ameri can Chemical society R. Norrls Shreve read a puper in which he described the process. This Involves treating the green sand with milk of lime at about 470 degrees F. for one hour. Caustic potash Ih the Initial result, but this Is easily changed Into other potash com pounds. Potassium nitrate Is shown to be the best form In which to produce the green sand potash for the fertllzer Industry, for In It are united two of (he most essential fertilizing elements nitrogen and potash.

Very few people could say off-hand the occasion when a king of England "gave away" his daughter In marriage, writes an English correspondent. As a fact, authorities ore quite hazy about It Hut this is Certain, that the hist reigning king of England to have a daughter married goes beyond recollec tion; for It was neither Edward VII., of course, nor George IV., both being, In turn, prince of Wales when their respective ilnughters were married. The last Instance, then, was that of George IH., who came to the throne 1700 and died IS20. His eldest daugh ter was married In 17117, the third In 1818, the fourth In 1818. The ease, however, of any only daughter goes back to Henry I., In the Eleventh cen tury. His only daughter Matilda mar ried Henry V, emperor of the West, when her father had been four years king of England. Starting Early. .Tnhnnlo. a Columbus youngster, had only four candles on his hist birthday cake, but he Is already wen versed in legal procedure. Being In need of having ono of his teetli extracted he was taken to the office of a dentist. When perched In the chair he decided thai he did not w ish to part company with bis ailing tooth and could not be persuaded to open his mouth. With consummate skill the doctor distracted his attention and made 1dm gap with wonder at a fabricated tale. In went the forceps and out came the tooth before Johnnie realized It. The hoy did not say word until lie started to leave the office, when ho turned on the surprised doctor and said se riously : "BhUnS you, doctor, I have a good mind to prosecute you for this!"
