'Tis Ever So.
TIS SPRING! 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

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

Is all for naught
This earnest, honest effort on my part to
benefit myself and them?
When I, who sought

In that no whit of self-respect or honor has

Does this foretell

GIVE THEM CREDIT-THESE FLAPPERS
MR. 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,

gold mines without gold. That
keeps them working.
Foolishness is perhaps human
ity's greatest asset. 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.
