OREGON, 3EPT.22 1912 WHAT'S COMING TO HIM. The minions of the law are waiting for the opportunity to capture a boot legger who is selling moonshine liquor to minors in Athena. For sometime it has been known that boys here have been securing liquor from some source, and the source is said to be under surveilance by the authorities. The minute conclusive evidence is sec ured and the law has taken its course, short shift should be given the cul prit's residence in Athena. Saturday night, an Athena youth, soused to the ears in moonshine was escorted home by Marshul Taylor, after he had made himself obnoxious by his rowdyism on the streets. Had the officer known that a lady residing on Third street had been frightened by the lad's riotious conduct, he would probably have jailed him instead of leading him home. A sweating-out process in court might have elicitated the information the officers are seek ing. Julius Meier, father of the "1925 exposition" is back from Europe, where he went to educate he nations into participation in the international fair. Mr. Meier returns converted to the realization by personal contact with economic and material condi tions over there, that of all Europe an nations, but one, little Switzerland, none will be able to take part. He finds over there a battle for bread with little or no means to secure it, in. place of financial ability or incli nation to exhibit impoverished and broken industrial effort. This is as Mr. Meier saw it and as it is report ed by him after his arrival in New York on his homeward voyage. To this clearcut, impartial reasoning of one who perhaps had more interest in the proposed exposition than rr.y other one man in the state, Mayo; Baker of Portland, says, "Damn the torpedoes; go ahead." Simmered down and with all torpedoes exploded, the crux of the situation is that if Port1 land holds her fair it will be one of national scope, but not of internat ional proportions, and if Portland property owners still desire to tux themselves to the tune of three mil lion dollars to pay for their exposi tion on narrowed marginal lines, we up-staters. should worry. If the over-confident Greeks hadn't started anything England wouldn't have it to finish. There's little joy for the thoughful in the wheat market boost when liars is the booster. Those writers rough are smooth enough to "get de dough" for all I their stuff. Looks as though the world will have to fire the Turk before he fires I the world. The Audience Smiled. I Introduced the speaker of the eve- nlng to a large audience, and snt down ! behind him on the platform, i In the course of his address, wish ing to Illustrate a point, he said, "You remember, don't you, a few years ago when J. D. ltockabllt had to have an operation for appendicitis he had a first year medic student perforin his operation?" He turned and, seeming to speak al most directly to me, he asked, "didn't he J" Not wishing to appear uninformed upon a question that I was so mani festly expected to know, I nodded genially and said quite distinctly, "Yes, I remember." Imagine my chagrin when the speaker turned to his audience, ap parently without having heard me, and snld: "No, of course, he did not. He employed the best surgeon In the coun try." Chicago Tribune. Drainage of Zuyder Zee. At the Inland shipping congress held nt Rotterdam recently the dralDnge of the Zuyder "zec'forined "the most 'im portant subject of discussion. It was pointed out that the drainage would make necessary the construction of a number of new canals. One speaker pleaded that the building of new vil lages and factories near the polders should not be left to mere chance. Vil lages with churches should be built near the canals, but Industrial works near the dykes. Such an arrangement would prove of udvantuge to shipping, and would prevent any pollution of the polder water. A number of the water ways connecting the Zuyder zee ports are to be preserved, but wherever polders form a continuation of the ex isting land, new harbors will have to be made Scientific American.

This sounds like a modern wail, hut it was printed in The Orcgoniar. fifty years ago. That this was a nretty tough old world in the palmy days of Pompeii, or during the reign of the Pharaohs, is also quite evident from ancient inscriptions. We have no monopoly of evil in A. I). 1922, and perhaps are not quite so degen erate as we sometimes fool our selves into thinking we are. It would appear that Mr. Hall's name may lawfully go on the bal lot, but that ho may not, if elected, lawfully take office as governor of Oregon. The complexities of this singular situation are obviated by the indubitable fact that Mr. Hall will never be elected. Pendleton is huving a dry Round Up, but only in the sense that a:' much booze as the officers could lay their hands on has been confiscated. Otherwise there's nothing dry about the big event in the biggest little city in the universe. "The world is in bad shape," says Julius L. Meier, who after his trip to foreign dimes is not so keen about the Portland fair. He finds that there is little occasion for the world to celebrate at Portland or elsc vvttW, . - " "WomeiTWll not have seats in the house of deputies of the Episcopal church." News item. But women will continue to have seats of no small importance in the houses of the deputies. Athena isn't big enough to house, a bootlegger who dispenses moon shine to minors, and the quicker he is smoked out of town the less trouble he will encounter. Her aid to the Turks gives rise to speculation as to whether France's losses in the World War did not in clude her conscience. Russia becomes a dangorous factor in the present Near Eastern crisis, in that while she has no standing she docs have a standing army. Wo'd feel much more comfortable if the Near East were not so near; as far away as Man, for example. Bank Statement Charter No. 256. Reserve District No. 12.
