ETERNAL VIGILENCE
Historians often are able to
trace the beginning of unsocial
practices to a period after the
end of a war. It is then that people
are most likely to relax their vig-
Hence, the vigilencc that is the
price of liberty.
The elder generation, desirous
of turning over the reins to the
youngers, fails to keep going; the
youngsters, just out of the res-
traint of the army, want nothing
to do with public affairs. There-
fore, it is said, we have mofal
laxity, changed and temporary
social conditions, and as often as
not, the beginning of some prac-
tices that must be rooted out
painfully as time goes on.

It is said, for instance. tha’
American big business, that has
proven so hard to handle, develop
ed shortly after the civil war.
Populism, with its development
of social hates, Is another. It
takes no long memory to recall
the excesses following World War
day.

Citizens shake the moisture »1 om

leave this country and go to
the valley where they can get

of them consider scurrilous in
the extreme. The valley, and its
rain, is not considered a satisfac

the soil once covered with bunch-
grass. -
The entire winter has been a
sort of Willamette valley winter,
damp and wet, - with no great
amount of moisture going into
the ground but a lot of it gedirg
