Tho purpose of the organization Is to boost the valley, and permit the mem bers to get away from homo on Tues day nights. One reads of how the IWW. closed a bootlog Joint In Portland, (tho owner had only boon convicted eight times of violation of the Prohibition laws), and (or once In the existence of that out law organization, they did something; worth while. Dut how about the police force of Oregon's chief religious and moral center. Last summer when virtue was at) fever hoat, aggravated sotnewhat by politics, the metropoli tan cops were painted as paragons of GodlinoBS, and drummers whispered ominously, "S-s-sh-h! all tho Portland police belong!"' Then, donizonB of the cow counties were inclined to think that tho minions of tho law were apt to break out in a revival meeting, without warning, colloctlvoly and indi vidually, thoy wore that angelic. Thoy probably are as saintly as advertised, but the general public 'and Blnful Ore gonians would be dollghtcd to hear the alibi, as to why thoy fulled to close up a disreputable hellholo, tho proprietor of which had been convict ed eight times for violation of the Prohibition laws. It Is commendable for tho O. A.

David Olaon has boon In . town all this week looking up tho oil well. The murder of a collogo studont, as a result of a class war, Indlcatos a high mentality, and Is excelled only by the Intolloctunl trick of holding a Freshman under wator until 40 bub bleB have boon delivered on tho bosom of the creek.

Wo aro going to build a now schoolhouso, and tho fishing Is fine." THE GREATER CRIME (Portland Telegram)' Tho witness testified: "Six wooks ago, when spring had come, this man came to mo and sug goBtod that we go fishing. Wo wont up the river several nillos. Aftor we'd boon fishing a llttlo whllo he pulled out a bottlo and Invited mo to have a few driiikB. I only took four or five drinks, but somehow It made nie sloopy. Bo wo landed and 1 laid down on thb grnsB. Trotty soon I was waked up by being hammered over the hoad with a club, floforo 1 lost my senses I realized that he'd pulled my overcoat tip ovor my head and tied It Then he tied my hands and feet with a piece of ropo, hit mo a fow times moro on tho hoad and threw mo ill tho wator. Hut some follows on the upper floor of a carpet factory on the bank saw me In tho river and hauled me out and took me to the hospital where I've been over slnco." His evidence having been complet ed, the foreman excused tho bandaged Victim, but before ho could quit tho chair one of tho grand juror, who had been llntnnlng with the turnout Inter est to the startling story, halted him and Informed the Interpreter that, In the Interests of justice to all, ho de sired to put one question. ""What do you wish mo to ask him?" Inquired the Interpreter. . ".You ask this man whether, when h went fishing with the defendant, did he have a Ilconse to fish?" IN CERTAIN fastidious circles cursing out the movies is a popular piistime. A frequent complaint is that tho Hollywood inugiintcs persist in dishing out sentimental twash, sex nonsense, and nothing else. Tho movie press agents usually reply by maintaining that the in dustry merely gives tho public what it wants, that if the public really wanted better films, better films would be produced, but the public doesn't. - ' As usual in such cases neither extremes arc correct. To prove the point, one need only observe the reception given the lute Emer son Hough's "Covered Wagon" in tlie cast. The "Covered Wagon" is the season's movie sensation in New York City. New York newspapers and magazines are devoting columns of praise to this pictorial epic of the Far West. Critics of recognized standing compare it favorably to "Tho Birth of a Na tion" and "Broken Blossoms." Crowds are being turned away at every performance. i Everyone agrees this is a decidedly worth while film, with a se rious artistic purpose. Yet it was produced by a commercial film cor poration and the public is patronizing it. Which demonstrates that neither the Film Knockers, nor the Film Apologists are correct. Our particular interest in the Covered Wagon, however, is its value as an advertising medium for Oregon. There was considerable criticism when the film was being made, that California, as usual,, was skimming the cream, and Oregon, as usual, was being left out in the cold. Not having seen the film we can't pass judgment on this phase of the controversy, but this much we do know, in every press notice we have seen, Oregon is mentioned at least half a dozen times. This is a good thing for Oregon. Nine people out of ten east of the Applaehians don't know whether Oregon is a national park or an outdoor sport. The "Covered Wagon" will at least stimulate their curiosity and encourage enlightenment. And that is all Oregon needs just now. ...

The larger the man's salary, the earlier he can knock off in the afternoon. " Lame ducks are not migratory birds, however, except when a President goes vacationing. You can recognize the road to success by the discarded illusions scattered along the way. The average wife's nearest approach to adventure consists in re arranging the furniture In the spring. A feminine writer says men are a nuisance at an afternoon tea because they talk about their work. What work? Ono explanation of a lot of things is that there is no thrill in buying a thing unless you can't afford it. Through the centuries of evolution, tho influence of women has domesticated nearly all wild animals except mau. Tho further back they sit in church, the closer up they sit at a musical comedy. -' Correct this sentence: "That will do, Willie," said the mother; "I don't care to hear what Mrs. Brown said to her cook." The danger in any international organization is that it might force nations to be as honest as they profess a desire to be. All you need to convince yourself that a family can live on $800 a year is a pencil and a bit of paper and an incomo of iflO.OOO. Tho Prince of Wales wasn't the only one.

RipplingRhureas THE HOBBY. rVfTLJXyifc I THINK it well to have a hobby, one's hours of leisure to amuse; and I have one that's nice and nobby collecting great men's overshoes. I have the shoes of every geezer who ever won a world renown; I have the ones that Julius Caesar was wearing when they struck him down. The overshoes of kings and princes, of bards and seers I have on file, nnd every visitor evinces amaze ment when lie sees the pile. And I am most too fond of dwelling lipon the groat collection there; I find myself forever telling the history of every pair. I look around and see men yawning, as o'er some pair I fondly stoop, and then, gad.ooking and doggoning, they takq their lints and flee tho coop, I once had friends who'd come to see mo, and sit around till half past nine; in argument they'd try to tree men, and tell old tales and list to mine. My neighbors come around no longer, no friends with me discuss tho news, since stronger grew and ever stronger, my interest in old' overshoes. I mildly greet tho village lubbers, and only meet with jeer and slur, when I announce that I've the rubbers of Daniel Boone and Aaron Burr. "A hobby," warns my earnest pastor, "should in the background always stay, or it will bring n man disaster, and drive his wannest friends awnv." CHICAGO, May 2. flly Associated Press). Three major league teams won their games' In uphill fights, smashing out victories in late-in the game spurts.

Freedman is facing a second trial on a charge of murder. With Medford trade Ir Medfnrd mnde WASHINGTON, May 2. With re spect to sale of liquor on American government owned ships, it was point ed out hero today that no facilities exist for the supplying of liquor to such ships on this side under the court's ruling. Officials also ques tioned whether it would bo expedient to resume sale of liquor In the face of almost certain attempt In congress to forbide it. Another factor is understood to be the view of the president that govern ment owned ships are in the intent of congress American territory and as such amenable to the provisions of the prohibition laws, even though the su preme court has held to the contrary. There was much discussion In diplo matic circles over tho ultimate effect of that portion of the ruling which pro hibits foreign vessels from bringing liquor into American ports even under seal. It was said that ' both the French and Itullan gpvernments re quire ships flying the flags of those nations to carry wine as a part of the rations for the crow and to serve It with all meals whether, in home or foreign ports. Obviously, it was -declared, French and Italian vessels could not follow the mandate of the supreme court without violating ie laws of their own country. Desplto the sweeping .character of the prohibition laid down by the court against importation of liquor Into the United States, foreign diplomatists do not expect the decision to interfere with the present practice of bringing in enough to supply the staffs of tne various embassies and legations.
