And a young man's fancy happily (or is it haply?) turns to thoughts of love. But not so Mrs. Housewife. There is that winter's accumula tion of dust, cob-webs, etc., to be cleaned out of the corners; that bunch of old clothes to be raked out of the attic, buttons cut off, then the old togs burned or turned to some useful purpose in fact, a real, good old housecleaning. Be sides, the flower bed has to be gone over, maybe a few rows of vegetables planted and the lawn to be looked after. Of course Mr. Husband may come in for a few of these duties probably very few. But he has an urgent duty to his home and to his community, not already de fined. There's a bunch of ashes, tin cans and whatnot, besides a lot of dried weeds and grass, disgrac ing his premises somewhere, that not only should be, but must be cleaned up. At least the city fath ers say they must be. And that's where "Hubby" or maybe some of the boys come into the pic ture; we hope with a wheelbar row, pitchfork and some burlap bags. On April 12 the city' will pro vide free transportation for all the old junk and everything that clut ters up the town. That date comes on Tuesday. Now Tuesday was chosen so that those gentlemen who find Sunday to be the most convenient day to do their work may have plenty of time to gather up the rubbish about their places, put it in containers, and then con vey it to the front approach where it will be picked up on the day named and taken to the dump heap. But if there are those op posed to working on Sunday not constitutionally opposed to work ing they may do the job on Sat urday, or again, on Monday if Sat urday be not convenient. Anyway, the city should shine on and after Tuesday, April 12, and we are sure everyone will co operate to this end. Still a Question. CLARENCE DARROW, who has made murder safe for dis tinguished criminals, discussed with a clergyman the question asked long ago, "What is man?" as two hoptoads might discuss the nature of the express train on its way across the continent. Mr. Darrow calls the human Doay a machine and trunks every thing has a mechanical origin. Dr. Gray, clergyman and college Not All is Lost ' 1)y O.JswrenceHawthorne Is this defeat? Is this a certain indication of my standing with my fellow men? Shall I retreat? Shall I withdraw from all pursuit of place in public life nor try again? Is all for naught This earnest, honest effort on my part to benefit myself and them? When I, who sought An office, have employed but fair designs to gain the goal, can they condemn? Have I done well In that no whit of self-respect or honor has been sacrificed by me? Does this foretell Perpetual exclusion from the seats of govern ment as fate's decree? Must my star wane Nor ever cast the faintest glow among the lesser lights, or is it true That I may gain By just such disappointments, and achieve a greater prize than I SSS.

BRUCE FINDLAY, assistant superintendent of Los An geles schools, in an address the other day asked: "Why should we assume that the flapper of 1927 will make a poorer mother than the 'flapper' of yesterday, who has been her mother?" There is just as much to the modern girl as there ever was to her ancestor. The fact that she wears short skirts and bobs her hair is not against her. She wears less clothing than her ancest ors and is consequently healthier. She is more addicted to outdoor sports with beneficial results. Altogether the modern flapper of today is just as well pre pared for motherhood as was her mother, and better than she. There is no more danger to a girl from taking an automobile ride than there was from taking a buggy ride.' Of course dissipation and late hours are bad for anyone and in proportion as a woman indulges in this she is endangering her health and endangering posterity. But take it all in all the girl of today is quite as sensible as her mother was yesterday and we may look forward with confi dence to the future of the race. It never was in better hands. Those of today are just as serious-minded as their mothers were the day before. Virtue is not to be founded upon ignorance but upon know ledge, and if the girl of today knows more than her mother did it helps her and does not hinder her. She is prepared to be a man's partner and equal and not his slave and plaything and in this respect she has the advantage over former years. As far as I am concerned, the girls of today are healthier, better looking and more desirable as companions than were the girls of yesterday. This old world is bumping merrily along and some things about it some people don't like, but on the whole it is improving. president, touching slightly on be haviorism and emergent evolu tion, says man is a spirit. So he is, but what is a spirit? Man, being man, cannot judge man. That "Know thyself" com mand tells us to do something we can't do. The wise thing is to work and be grateful for know ledge as it comes gradually. Three Great Remedies. THIS interests those who sleep with their windows closed. Dr. Kummer, of Geneva, studies the lock jaw germ and announces that one thing it can't stand is plenty of fresh air. It will resist powerful disinfectants, but collapses if you open the wound and let in air. Our three greatest remedies Providence gives to us free of charge, sunlight, fresh, air, fresh water, and a majority of human beings neglect all three. A Frenchman designs a villa mounted on a turntable, arranged to follow the sun, an electric mo tor turning the villa slowly around. That is ingenious, but not import ant. It is simpler to have plenty of windows, let the sun do all the turning, and keep some of the win dows open. Why Robles Works. R' OBLES, Spanish bullfighter, killed bulls for two months in Mexico, earned $65,000. He spent a few hours in gambling in stitutions in Tia Juana, across the California border, and Tia Juana gentlemen have his $65,000. "Bullfighters never have any money," says a friend of Robles, "they are all gamblers." That fact keeps them working, killing bulls. Many Americans are not so dif ferent. They also rarely have any money, or don't have it long. They buy real estate they have never seen, stock in wells without oil, HA pursue? ViW,r Tit. t-t i-A E- -1 J v, !-, u.

If those that save money, all lived on it in idle ness, instead of losing it to sharp ers, there might be too much idle ness in the country. Convicting a Man Before Trial. WALLOW" A SUN. THERE are many frailties of human nature. One sticks out on the most of us. It even creeps into the news and editorial pages of newspapers both great and small. It is a weakness we should all contend against, for it is evi dence of premature judgment, un fairness and prejudice. We speak of the proneness to convict a man before he is tried. We feel much aggrieved that our model newspaper, the Ore Ionian, should have evidenced the fjult in so striking a fashion last week when it seized upon the story of the alleged misconduct of a Klamath Falls minister, spread it over its front page, and then on its editorial page presumptuously proceeded to convict the man. Perhaps the hundreds of other John Smiths and Henry Does ar rested the same day and under similar circumstances over the United States also were guilty. That, however, is a matter for the courts to determine. Sufficient to say that the accused man the day following the convicting but not convincing editorial appeared, made his appearance before the authorities and denied his guilt, and furthermore denied knowledge of the charges against him until five days after they had been pre ferred. This story, however, the Orcgonian modestly stuck a way back on the inside, "buried it," in the parlance of the news room, while the story of the accusation was played prominently on the front page. This was in keeping with the premature judgment it passed upon the man. It matters not if Mr. Petelle is convicted or pleads guilty when arraigned. That is beside the issue. It is cowardly and unwarranted to con demn so publicly and unjustly, as the Oregonian did, any man who has merely been accused and had neither hearing nor trial. "Pseu do parson," "rare avis," "bootleg ger," and "shameless impostor" are some of the epithets applied by the Oregonian to this man who for some years was a pastor here and during his pastorate conduct ed evangelical meetings in various communities of eastern Oregon. And in all that time there was never voiced a single reproach to his character nor a hint of any other than exemplary manhood. Few men have as good a reputa tion in the communities in which they are known, and none better. But understand us correctly: we neither defend nor condemn Mr. Petelle. We reserve judgment until court procedure has run its proper course. We speak only of known facts. We do, however, most emphat ically and with all the vigor at our command, condemn the practice that condemns an accused man of high or low station, native or for eign, before he has had a fair trial or even a hearing. Is it Applause or Applesauce the world is giving you? Make sure! Still the Same. Old Gentleman: "When I was a lad I used to think nothing of a fast twenty-mile walk. Tommy: "Well, I don't think much of it, either." Guaranteed Sterling The new servant girl, soon after her arrival, pricked her finger with a fork and seinied greatly distressed. "Only to think, ma am," she said to her mistress, "inflammation or blood poisoning might set in." "Don't alarm yourself, my girl, the forks are real silver, take my word for it." "You are quite sure, madam?" "Positive." The next morning the girl had dis appeared. So, too, had the silver forks! Song at Any Price Hostess (endeavornig to fill a gap in the entertainment): "Mr. John son, I'm sure you'll help us out with a song." Johnson: "Sorry, but I'm afraid my vocal efforts are confined to sing ing in my bath." "Oh, do sing; and I'll warn them that you're rather out of practice!" Happiness Hour "Good times are de-creasing," cried the boy, as he gave his pants to the tailor to be pressed. Two Nuts Speed Demon Well, Kid, I hit 60 in the old boiler last night.
