What Is Happiness?
Money and Labor.
Piparl for a Lady.
Birth Control. Yes? No?
(Copyright by King features
Syndicate, Inc.)
The Rev. C. Everett Wagner,
Methodist Episcopal, will start
a "happiness clinic" with phil
osophers engaged to lecture on
happiness, how to start to
reach it., The clinic will pay
especial attention to marriage,
health, work, and human na
ture. 1
In starting n "happiness
clinic" it im important to re
member Voltaire's advice to de
fine the meaning o words.
What IS happiness?
Sheridan calls it "An exutie
of celestial birth."
Socrates said, "Happiness is
linrepented pleasure."
Schoepenhauer called happi
ness "Abscnt'c of pain." A
dull definition.
Rousseau's definition, "A
good hank account, a good
cook, and a good digestion," is
also rather dull.
Schiller thought he h a d
found "earthly happiness" be
cause he had "lived and loved."
There are two kinds of hap
piness. The lesser consists in
finding the work for which you
are fit and doing it.
The greater, reserved for a
few, is in working for others.
A strike of gasoline truck
ilrivers for big oil companies
il. New York,., the , .companies
refusing to recognize unions, is
nn important struggle between
organized labor and organized
money.
Labor has the difficult end
of what will be a long fight ;
$100,000,000 would make no
difference to the companies in
this struggle.
If drivers could succeed in
cutting off gasoline supplies,
tying up automobiles, which is
doubtful, they would have pub
lic opinion against them.
They will find political au
thorities temporarily very
friendly, less so after election.
A diver in the Persian Gulf

The pearl will go to some

ion in tlie last half hour of trad

in many cases sharply reduced and
in a few comparatively conceled.'
The brisk return came after sev
eral hours of uncertain and con
fusing price movements anil had
the appearance of a rush of shorts

Employment of Manufac
turers' Agent As Tariff
Advisor Upheld By Con
necticut Solon Senator
Walsh Is Caustic.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17. (P)
Full responsibility wart assumed
today by Senator Wiikiuum, Re
publican, Connecticut, before the
nennte lobby committee today fori
his employment of Charles L.
Eyanson, nn officer of the Connec
ticut Manufacturers' association, as
a tariff advisor at the time the
tariff bill was before tho flonnte
finance committee.
lliiiKhuni, a member . of the
finance committee, praised the
work Kyanson had done and said
'if anyone ever served a senutor
loyally, it was he."
"Except he was serving two
masters,' observed Senator Walsh,
Democrat, Montana, a member of
tho lobby committee.
"Senator Walsh, I don't think
that is fair," replied HinKhnin. "He
worked as hard for the fisheries
as for the manufacturers."
"At the same time he wan your
aid and assistant he was being
paid by the Manufacturers assocU
Hon," replied Walsh.
"Certainly, there is no secret of
that."
Hi nullum then said If there was
anything "wtuiik with it the fault
Is mine."
"Well, do you think there was
anything wrong with It," asked
Caraway.
"Possibly I made a mistake,"
said Bingham, adding if he had
known that It was "not considered
proper for government employes
who were hired to do one job to
be used by senators to help do
another Job" he probably would
not have usked the Manufacturers'
association to "loan' him n man.

Sociable Drink
Not As Harmful
As Cigarettes
NEW YORK, Oct. 17. (yP)
Drinking for sociability's sake
Is regarded by Dr. Uurrill C.
Crohn as less werious than
"tlie current abuse of smok-
Jng"; the one is in fact re-
sponsible for only a very ex-
ceptional functional gastric
disturbance; to the other,
many highly excitable and
nervous stutes are founded
upon excessive cigarette con-
sumption, the possible effects
of which are heartburn, -hy-
perucidity, nervous constlpu-
Hon, insomnia, duodenal nnd
gastric ulcers. Dr. Crohn
spoke at the New York Acad-
emy of Medicine.
ENGINEERED BY
SAN FUANCISCO, Oct. 17. P)
The San Francisco Examiner today
said abolishment of the socalleil
"Shasta differential" which would
mean it saving of approximately
$1S in round trip train fares be
tween eastern points and Califor
nia, nnd 1'uget Sound, has bein
virtually decided upon by the
transcontinental railroads.
The "Shasta differential" is the
difference in passenger fares be
tween eastern points and Califor
nia nnd the fares direct between
eastern points and the two termi
nals. A less Involved explanation
is that If the Shasta differential be
eliminated, n passenger going to
I'uget Sound from the east can
visit California at no extra cost
and vlre versa.
Tho Examiner says the purpose
of the railroads in deciding to
abolish the differential Is twofold.
The main purpose, the newspaper
declares is to block one of the
ai-Kuments the Great Northern and
Western Pacific railroad Is expect
ed to use before the Interstate
commerce commission In seeking
permission to construct tho Klam
ath Falls-Paxton link. The second
reason Is declared to be the na
tural desire to stimulate travel
i
nnd increase the volume of bust-
ness.
The newspaper snys that South
ern Pacific officials stated last
j night that they have been trying
for some time to put tho tower
rate In effect but northern rail
roads objected.

Report of New Rogue River
Irrigation District Shows
Water Has Brought Huge
Profits' On Less 'Than
5000 Acres.
How valuable Irrigation has be
come in southern Oregon is shown
by figures' released today by of
ficials of the new Rogue River
Valley Irrigation district, which
was recently formed by an over
whelming vote of the property
owners,
The ensh prop receipts this year
total 7fi0,00 In an area of 4774
acres, in which approximately
4530 acres nro Included In con
tracts for water, and 4214 acres
have been Irrigated. In other
words, the revenue from this dis
trict Is over twice the nssessed vnl-
I uatlon as fixed hy the appraisal
board consisting of J. A. Perry, Joe
Itrown nnd O. F. Mays. The basis
of this appraisal was placing or
chard lands at $3 GO per acre, nnd
irrigated land not orchard nt $150
per acre.
It Is estimated that nt least 70
per cent of the revenue came from
Irrigated pear .orchards.
With these figures as n basis,
Ponald Clark, Mike llanley, .John
Carkln, Victor Itursell and City
Engineer F. C. Dillard, officials
'and advisers of the district, leave
tonight for Salem, to secure the
final (). K. of the state reclamn-
tion board, consisting of Governor,
Patterson, State Engineer Rhea"
I,up'r, Secretary of State Hal HosB
and State Treasurer Tom Kay.
It Is believed the endorsement
will bo Immediately secured and
the next step will be for the prop
erty owners In the dlstrh-t to vote
to take over the old canal com
pany properties via n bond Issue
or other satisfactory financial ar
rangement. This district was formed under
the new state reclamation net pass
ed in Oregon two years no. Hy
the terms of this act the O. K.
of the reclamation board Is neces
sary, nnd a provision which has
worked a hardship ngalnst Irriga
tion districts In the past has been
removed, namely. Instead of the
water being a blanket obligation
n all property In the dhtrlct, the
individual who has paid up or who
nun kept up In his payments Is
not liable fur nny dlntriot Indebt
edness caused by dlwtrlet members

to Injure Supreme Court
Justice Rand, Is Charge
of Lawyer Disbarment
Proceedings Filed Cite
Joseph.
SALEM, Ore., Oct. 17. (JP)
That Oeorge W. Joseph, Portland
lawyer, and Henry Hunzen and
other ier8ons unknown entered
into a conspiracy to plant liquor
at the Salem home of Justice John
L. Hand of the state supreme court
is the charge made by Thomas
Mannlx, another Portland lawyer,
who yesterday filed disbarment
proceedings against Joseph. The
proceedings are filed with the su
preme court.
Chief Justice Coshow Immedi
ately signed an order citing Joseph
to appear before the supreme court
on Monday, November 4, and show
cuuse why lie should not be dis
barred. Mannlx avers that It was the
purpose of the conspirators to
make It appear that lie was the
carrier of the liquor, and that the
intent of the conspiracy was to re
flect against the supreme court
and Its members.
"As a part of the liquor con
spiracy," says the Mannlx com
print, "Hanzeti notified the fed
oral prohibition officers that your
complainant waa about to deliver '
the liquor to Justice Rand. The
affidavit disclosing this conspiracy
Is In the bands of W, M. Newell,,
prohibition director. It was only
by discovery ot the plot that th
liquor was not planted."
Intimidation Attempt
Further alienations that Josenh
ntfcmifited to Intimidate the court "
In . connection with litigation In
which he was Interested are con
tained In the complaint.
"While the case of Wemme s.
Selling was pending on appeal In
the supreme court," says the com
plaint "and before a decision was
given, for the purpose of Influenc
ing and coercing the court to ren
der a decision in his favor, falsely
with actual malice published and
caused to be published in the Port-'
land Telegram statements that one
of the justices who heard the case
had been corrupted and influenced
by your complainant to give a do-
clBion unfavorable to Joseph, who
at the time was an attorney in the
case.
