The tight collar of orthodoxy chafed his neck and he threw It away and unbuttoned his shirt at the throut. lio excused his absence from the church of which he was a member by asserting that there ht no piety in be ing hored. When he Joined a group of people who were employing many pretty ad jectives to express their delight in u certain Interpretative dance, he re marked that he had seen nothing more subtle, than a number of scantily draped and muscular young ladies leaping about a stage. , Un chose its companions the people ho liked, regardless of their cate. morals, record and financial rating. When he was thrown with people who mouthed nnciatjt Ideas under the Impression that they were being erudite and clever, he said u prayer arid took a nap, lie made no effort to save people either from hell or front foolish laws, taking the stand that the majority should go to hell, anyway, and tlctt people who tolerate foolish laws de serve t hem. lie discarded his coat In hoi weath er: he refused to he bound by (he rulings of any party, sect, clan or majority; he would not affect an In terest in the distant down-trodden; he did not protend to poKsesa knowledge of things of which he was Ignorant.

TMIE CiOVERXMEX'f is going out of the trust-bii.stig business. A declares a dispatch from Washington. This information, 'if confirmed, will bring joy ta the heart of Win. Jennings Bryan. For it will give him something he hasn't had for many a long year, a legitimate political slogan. "Trust Busting or Trust Bossing, do you want a government that has long been the burden of the great Commoner's song. that busts the trusts or ti government that is bossed by the trusts but it has heretofore Inched validity. With a Republican adminis tration formally abandoning trust busting, the validity is supplied and the Prophet of Democracy may enter the lists once 'more in u atmosphere of reality, reality, that is, as far as political slogans are concerned. And as a people, we are inclined to 'be guided by political slo gans. But before the victory of a rejuvenated Democracy is con ceded, it mignt he well to consider the tact that rresitlent Loolidge r.lso has a slogan which is "common sense" and applying this slo gan to the trust-bossing battle-cry, may produce results which Mr. Bryan doe not forsee. For from the standpoint of common-sense, what does this an nouncement from Washington mean? It merely means facing facts which experience has demonstrated to be true. Big Business 'is here to stay as long as the present economic system is retained. The only way to bust Big Business is to bust the country and abandon Capitalism for Bolshevism. There is no alternative. From the standpoint of modern economics, trust-bust ing simply can't be done and the history of the past decade has definitely demonstrated i.t What can be done, is now being done, namely government con trol of Big Business; not interference with business simply because it is big, but interference with all business that attempts to ob tain an unfair advantage by artificial combination and agreement, In other words, assuming the Washington dispatch is correct, it merely amounts to this: - , Tlie (government is recognizing a condition that has existed ever since the .Sherman law was passed and which has obtained under Democratic, as well as Republican administrations. Such recognition is honest and tho logical product of a policy f common sense. Whether or not) it is good politics, is of course, rh entirely different matter.

A reader snyH he has been quitcjgent medical treatment is usually heavy smoker for many years und necessary in tho cure of alcoholism now at the age of 50 he has de cided to quit. He ' would like to know what I would sug gest to get It out of his system. . This idea of getting nicotine or alcohol or their associated poisons out of the system is akin to getting . a snappy :blt of repartee off one's chest, i mean to imply; that both expressions are rather figurative. So fur as I can learn, there Is nothing in the way of poison left in a man's system more than a day or two after he and sometimes a help in the cure of tobaccoism, but so far ns I am aware such treatment does not get anything in particular out of the patient's sys tem. There is nothing in particular In his system to be driven out. The only poisons the secret or semi-secret alcoholism can possibly drive out' of the drunkard's system are the poisons contained In the alleged "cures" are not certain to get all the poisons out of the system at that. Several years agQ I endeavored" to outline in a letter a regimen for the toljacco user who would overcorpe the habit and recover as much health ns possible. I do not know whether this reel men is of particular value,; though a great many former victims taught of God anJ love or out on the .-world to "gel ,by' and kuow the vices and evils that mar our land, and then wonder where the crime ave starts.

MAUDE MuCROMKEV. To the Editor: Knowing that drive is on in Medford for the Doern becher hospital, I thought you might like to know what took place totlu After C. C Colb, president of th Hospital Guild got thru with his talk and asking us as the women of Ore gon for our moral support, a motion was made that we give $500 to equli. one bed. It was carried. Another motion followed that we pledge (20, 000, that would entitle us to a free bed for those who cannot afford to pay. Then the ball started -rolling. The different members began pledg ing their clubs for different sums and Individual contributions. Miss Vetla Winner gave $500 to be known as the Sadie Orr Dunbar fund, and, they passed the baskets. When It was all counted up they found $H70 had been pledged, by the clubs, and member $500 by Miss. . Winner. Collection $104.05, making a total of $1474.0 so the O. p.. W. C. gave a check bring the amount, to 71600, entitling us to three beds. The first bed will be given in the name of .Mrs. Camp bell, wife of the president of U. of O. It was all done in nn hour. I don think anyone there will over forge the excitement. They oro having a fine convention. Tonight we were taken to Bennett Point on the Pacific to a sea fooi dinner and entertained afterwards by the' Coos Bay Pirates. MRS. H. C. SMITH.

" 'Twas in tho hazy long ago when first this dream wns mine; my uncle's hair was white ns snow, his age was eighty nine; he had diseases ten or twelve and I was feeling sure the sexton soon for him would delve a grave in yonder moor. I had no use for honest toil, though I was nlwiiys broke; why should 1 plow the stubborn soil or chop the twisted oak! Why should 1 shovel loads of coal, or work with brick or stone f My uuelo llirmn hnj a j-oll that soon would be my own. I had no e.iti to pay .the rent, no place where I could board; my thoughts wove always madly bent on Viiele Hiram's hoard. "The way he hangs on is a crime," in imsnd heart 1 said; "ho lives along ou borrowed time, nor wots he liould be dead. He soon must crumhle into dust, and sleep beneath the sward, and my long years i( full li mid trust will garner their reward." lie's lived a hundred years and tencand does not plan to die, and still he keeps his i(in m, nor gives a reason why. Now I am old and in the 0le men say it serves me right; this wnitin fo a dead man's roll is vicious in their sight. I am too wretched now to work. 1 only sit and sigh; and as I do this, by the kirk, my undo eapers by. . . has taken a dose of tobacco.

There Is but one way to make the system absorb more oxygen, and that is by general exer cise. You will notice that clgaret smoking prevails chiefly among per sons who get the least exercise, COMMUNICATIONS To the Editor:-; I notice in Thursday's papor $370.20 check sent the children's farm home at Corvallis, as a result of the drive Just over for this homo, $370 perfectly good dollars, 100 .per rent value given to this home where Ilttls boys and girls have to be turn ed away every day because of no room for them, who have been rob bed of the dearest things on earth to them, their "Mother" and "pad dy." Some of us are just wondering how much this drive would have netted had it been for some so called "amusement" drive or ad vertising scheme. Judging from past records, the figures would most likely have gone over to about three times the amount. May I ask how can wo get to ourselves better amusement than helping build a child Into noble' men and women or how can we bet ter advertise our city than through these children of today as they go out tomorrow to' the ends of the Mirth and tell of us elthf r as help Ing or rejecting them In their needs of tho present day. 'Tis true, abso lutely true, there are those who havo not money to put into these sort of things; they really have not got It, honestly speaking, and yet 'tis from such ns these the bulk of these sums come. While we happen to know, positively, of people who aro well to do" whoso , names are on huivh registers, and they call them selves followers of Him who cures for these little ones at Corvallis. whose interest papers alone on their precious "kale" make life a Joy to them, yet could not spare n cent to this home and these little ones and there are, others we ftlso know who oan pny well for a dog or spend freely at a street carnival, but could not give so much as one "thin dime" towards the care and keep of these little orphan children whom God hns given to the world and mis fortune has robbed them of parents. Now, dogs should l9 cared for and fed. ami not kicked and starved and abuei. A doir In nliiiiht in n dons place, hut not in a child' place, nnd to be sure one Is always so uplifted and elevated by street carnivals and lienefitted so much by them in every way, especially bo yoinlly, religiously, and financially speaking. However, the street carnival Is nil right too tn us place and way. Hut is not the children's h)ne lo all righ? In It place and way. The only one of Us! kind, Protestant faith, in the state nnd if Oregon is like any other state, It hns Its quota of helpless children. Where are they to bo cared for? Say, dear loving parent, Just how long nre you sure you are going to bo here to caro for your own, dear children. O, yes, you have provisions made! Well, very -likely many a fond parent had just such provisions made for these at Corvallis, but "said provisions" failed to work out as planned. Who knows whoso child will next be out of a home? We con put our money into most any thing that comes nlong, that has a tingo of giddy pleasure in it, but not even 25 or 60 cents to this worthy cause and a whole dollar O. My! How awful nn amount to give- towards chasing tears of sad ness and .putting joy nnd smiles Into tho faces of these little boys and girls, just like our own. Let's put a few of our "salted1 coins Into this and put these chil dren under loving care whero sun shine and wholesome food can be theirs, as God Intended It should O, your money Is yours! Well, may be so, but who gave it to you? Did not God lend it to you to use, while enjoying this life with all Us other blessings. Say, how much you going to "pack away with you" when you go on your last Journey? Better come across with 'your bit." Then when your dreams aro haunted by hat bad business deal you made and lost, will all be forgotten when the Joyous little faces smile at you, that you have helped make happy es in your dreams th&y dance around you. Why you will be sure you feel the touch of a baby hand and fingers and they will be warm, too, not cold, when you have helped make them so. Tho children of today are our own nation of tomorrow.
