' "When you see silk -clad ankles in weather like this, you wonder whether she is trying to catch a husband or pneumonia. Pittsburg Dispatch. She is more likely to catch a bad case of pneumonia than a good case of husband. O Wm. J. Bryan is now, or soon will be, a citizen of Florida. It Is reported that he expects to run for senator at the next elec tion. It will be easier for him to get into the United States senate from Florida than from Nebraska. O A floating bit of statistics, supposed to have drifted from the U- S. treasurey, as marked by some headliner's pencil, stated that every person in the country was $3 poorer, at the end of January than he was at the beginning of the month. Musing on our own financial balance sheet, we did not see how that could be. We are los ing faith in these federal statis tics. O Not long ago the dispatches told of a dog, whose master was beating him, who shot the man with the man's own gun. Now we have a 6tory of a wounded eagle, away down in Chile, "which successfully turned the same trick. Maybe it would be well to prohibit the associated press from sending out such suggestive 6tories All the ani mals and birds will be at it, and man's' millennium will be over thrown.

Cannon, of Danville Illinois, has announced that he will not be a candidate for con gress at the next election. There may be middle-aged people who suppose that "Uncle Joe" can non has always been in congress since there was a congress, but this is not so. It will soon be 50 years since he was first elect ed, and he has been out two terms, in 1S92 and in 1912. He is nearly 86 years old- But it is not his age which he gives as his reason for retiring, but the fact that his eyesight is "Gittin' so pore". O Thursday evening's Eugene Guard reported: "Eleven home less men slept in the city jail last night". And Thurday "nigh? nine men who had homes and sleeping places provided free in the county jail left their beds and rooms in the middle of the night, and went out into the cold, dreary world to seek other quarters; perchance to wander, sleepless, all the balance of the night. Why is it that sleeping quarters in the Eugene city lodging house are so much sought after and those in the Lane county hostelry are so much despised? The grand jury, or the county court, or somebody ought to make an investigation- o THE PEACE CONFERENCE Tke diss rmamnt conference, after a twelve-weeks session, cam? to au end with a short session Monday for ncon, February 6, which was taken up with the formal signature of such of the treaties as bad not already been signed and other closing-up incidents and final personal greetings.

If this conference has not complete ily accomplished all that It waa thought possible for It to do. other like con ferences will no doubt follow In Its wake and perfect Its work. This thought waa brought out In President Harding's closing address. Part of te work which tbls conference left behind It was the specific preparation for such conferences, as the need should arise.
