A-KNOTTY SLANDER CASE
Seattle is trying to solve the problem as to whether one
can slander George Washington. The case arose over
someone making the assertion that the father of the
country was a user of considerable profanity, drank toler
ably regularly with not a great length of time between
drinks and did numerous other things not . nice for the
father of so large a country.
A rather zealous patriot took offense at the remarks
and had the asserter arrested on a charge of slandering
the man we fondly speak of as "First in war, first in peace
and first in the hearts of his countrymen."
The remark was uncalled for, and perhaps foolish, but
not more foolish than the patriot who undertook to have
the maker of it prosecuted. The only way to treat such
things is to ignore them and not pay the speaker the com
pliment of intimating that his opinion was worth noticing.
It however, brings up a knotty question. If one can be
punished for slighting remarks made about those long
dead, where will the possibility of punishment for slander
cease?
For instance, some admirer of the character of Cleo
patra might take offense at some remark made as to her
conduct with Antony. A criticism of Lot, Noah, or Adam
might make one liable to a jail sentence. An intimation
that good Queen Bess was holder of the speed record be
fore automobiles were invented might send a fellow to
prison for a half dozen years, and to say that Solomon
was unwise to marry so many times without giving the
divorce courts a chance occasionally would send him up
for life.
Regardless of what was said about "Our George" it is
hoped for the peace of all that the case against his
"slanderer" will be decided against the prosecution.
small. Prunes are in fine condition, and so are cherries.
Apples, too are well set and promise a bountiful yield. Of
course there is always a chance of something happening
at this time of the year that will cut the estimates but it
is seldom that his occurs, for frost is not a great risk in
the valley, and bugs a.nd pests are easily handled. In fact
this part of it is already largely taken care of and another
spraying will complete it. Taken all together the fruit
outlook is unusually good and it means added prosperity
for the valley.
Figures on the increase of pay to employes in factories
now in force, show that 706,500 have had their pay in
creased on an average of $7.88 a month or $94.56 a year.
The monthly increase in the pay rolls is $5,:68,872 and the
total yearly advance $64,426,464. Quite a substantial sum
in the aggregate, yet it represents an increase in the
daily per capita wage of 706,500 men, olbut :!0 cents a
day. This illustrates the value of small things, in a most
emphatic way, and justifies the lines of the poet who
wrote :
"Think naught a trifle though it small appear
Sands make the mountain, moments make the year,
And trifles, life."
Sierwood Is Ready
For Final Presenation
With the date for the presentation
of "Sherwooil" but two clays in the
future, the work of preparation has
practically came to a close. Rehearsals
for the past week havt been excellent.
aiol the tmal t nil dress rehearsal will
occur tonight. A finished presentation
ot a dramatic masterpiece is assured
the public for the Friday night per
formance. The Junior class of Willamette I'ni
vorsity could, in choosinj "Sherwood''
lor meir class play, not nave oeen
more fortunate. The lilav otters an
opportunity fur the development ami
display or tne best dramatic talent.
It wis compose.! to please the best of
audiences. The main features of the
drami are the interesting Hobin Hood
incidents, the Lyrics, and the ballet
scene ef Act II.
Now that England has the rebellion in Ireland crushed
and the leaders as well as a goodly number of the mob,
for it was little better than that, in her posession, the
question arises as to what she will do with them. If she is
wise she will deal leniently with the privates and not make
her punishment of the leaders vindictive. Sir Roger Case
ment is more of a fool than a criminal, though it might be
better stated by saying he was crazy. No man in his
senses would have undertaken such a movement as he
did, and others associated with him were certainly ir
responsible to the extent that they did not know anything.
Only madmen could have imagined they could cope with
England in the circumstances. They were practically un
armed and without ammunition, machine guns or any
thing else with which to light, they were about as help
less as so many Indians armed with bows and arrows
would be against a modernly equipped ant-y. Sending
them to bed without their suppers would fit the case about
as well as anything.
The Oregonian has a scare on again, and thinks that
had we gone to war with all Mexico instead of just chas
ing after Villa that Carranza's army would have overrun
the border states before we had begun to organize an
army. It is evident the Oregonian editor has either for
gotten history, or is not acquainted with the men on the
border. If Uncle Sam will turn the situation over to the
state of Texas Mexico would be whipped for two hundred
miles south of the border inside of two months and not
more than one attempt would be made to cross the border
by anything or anyone in Mexico.
Just as a suggestion to our friend Dean Collins who is
growing gray conducting a shortest poem contest in the
Oregonian, the devil in the Capital Journal composing
room suggests this:
It looks at first glance as though there was really no
rhyme there but the cloven footed one from the compos
ing room says that all poetry needs a prose explanation
and interpretation and says the above period and blank
line should read, "Dot, not."
The result of yesterday's primaries in California,
which, while the count is not yet completed, indicate the
G. O. P. standpatters have carried the state by 40,000,
emphasises the fact that T. R. has been swept into the
dustpan along with W. J. B. and both now belong to the
great army of "also rans."
Now experts are worrying over the possibility of some
other nation grabbing the Panama canal. Its a safe bet
they would drop it again like a hot brick if they had to
keep it open.

Mr. Tom Shannon in six splayfoot versos in the Ore

"Should they ask who I'm for, I'm for Roosevelt." Tom
doesn't state who it is he expects might have the curiosity
to "ask who he's for," but seems to have an idea someone
might do it. The fact is it will make but little difference
to Roosevelt or the rest of the world who Tom is "for," or
why, or what for. It would seem though, that Tom is
pome changer for he states he tried Bryan and lost. Then
he turned to Taft, but is now convinced he was "daft," or
else the exizencies of rhyme forced him to the statement.
After this for some tinn .mvwiiv Tom is not verv

he says he is sick. Now he is for Roosevelt. It is too bad;

he is not out of the woods. It may be "the worst is still i
