Newberry, who stands charged with having resorted to "fraud, conspiracy and corruption" in compass ing his election as United States Senator from Michigan, appears daily in the Senate to take part in its deliberations. He occupies the seat which must remind him of the grave accusations lodged against him in a federal court. He knows that visitors in the galleries are pointing him out as a mem ber whose right to be a Senator is to be tested by a criminal prosecution. Yet he continues there, in the face of all past practice and present reasons for remaining away. Truman H. Newberry must feel that Michigan needs him more than it needs observance of propriety. : 0 One evidence of the utter want of cohesiveness and ef toency of the G. O. P. majority in Congress is furnished by the railroad legislation. The House of Representatives assed a bill which was hailed and paraded as paragon of egislative wisdom. The Senate is going to pass another paragon some time wholly dissimilar and contradictory to the House measure. The two paragons will then have to be reconciled in conference. Some one has estimated that the Republican Congress uttered a total of 14,000,000 words in the course of the special session. ; About twice that many more will be requir ed to explain why nothing was accomplished in seven months' time. The Supreme Court has decided that only the Presi dent can declare the war is ended. Some Republican Senat ors who thought Congress had that authority are as deficient as lawyers as Senator Moses is as a doctor. o Republican organs are promising that the regular ses sion of the G. O. P. Congress will be an improvement on the special session. The regular session may be only half as long as the spec.al session. o Prof. Garner, the expert on Simian speech, brought suit against a photographer who accused him, pictonally, of kissing a monkey. Why get so sore about it? Monkeys are at least as decent as dogs, and plenty of nice people have been known to kiss dogs. Or haven't they? -o- THERE is a tremendous satis faction to us in selling the Liberty. We know in advance the pleasant things that are certain to happen. In the first ten minutes of demon stration, the Liberty reveals the delightful difference in the way it rides and drives. Its consistent performance there after, and the admiration Its beau ty always arouses, are a constant source of pleasure to' the owner. We feel that in distributing the Liberty in this community we are building a business that is bound to endure, because it is based on sustained and continuous satisfaction. LEWELUKG I' LIBERTY SIX Among the faces missed from the Christmas carolers this year were little Tom and Jerry. . - o - A medical writer Insists that people don't "catch cold." So far as we can grasp the philosophy of the thing, It's the cold that catches them.

We want every subscriber to use it, but tend the poetry to the lovelorn where a mantle of charity and love will bridge the wide gulf between merit and poetic ambition. A Little Late With HI Own Medicine Sir William Osier, who has been credited with declaring ' that men ought to be chloroformed at 80 year of age, ha just died, aged 70, reports the Tidies of Brownsville, without comment. Balmy Weather i The Lebanon Express reports thst a hive of beea in that city swarmed on Tuesday of last week, and thinks I that may Indicate that we have had our coldest weather for ths season. May the prophecy prove true! Hoboing It Sir: Is a man "traveling thru life" necessarily "on the road?" Ana. Not except when he has to get out and crawl under. 'Wise Ones Step up; poverty is only a day's march behind. We all learn well; let us act accordingly. A rough mug sometimes hides a polished heart. Merit and money usually go together. Don't worry; honesty isn't quite an unfashionable garment yet. M-o-n-e-y cannot successfully be made to spell "matrimony." Individual reason must legislate laws to curb individual pas sion. If a man kiss whom he pleaces he will fsil to please whom he kisses. Every man's life is a debt to his country. Who b ss ready to correct himself ss to publish his brother's errors? Cheer up; we need not blush when we quaff water, nor hide it from the law in our celars. We Agi Approval by the taxpayers of the county of the appropriation for a county agricultural agent ia step toward progress, declares the Polk Itimixer. Few really progressive farmers or business men deny the vslue of such an official to the farm ing interests of the county. ' Resolved "Resolved that I will be a good American, loyal to my government. Its law and its institutions, and that I will help to drive out those who seek to undermine the principles upon which it is founded." A pretty good resolution for all of ua to make and to keep, thinks the Aataria Budget You Bet! Let's have the band out and the streets blocked when the boy get home, the Register suggests. They missed winning by a hair's breadth, but they played the game with true Oregon spirit snd courage. And they had Harvard scared out of her boots.
