LIVES OF OFFICIALS NOT SHORTENED
That "figures won't lie" is conceded, but that they can
be made to juggle with the truth and use that verity with
"prodigal frugality" cannot be denied. Dr. W. A. Evans,
of Chicago, who edits the "How to Keep Well" column in
the Oregonian, a few days ago had a story as to the lives
of the presidents having been shortened by their service
in that capacity, which the doctor says is due to worry,
late hours, high living and the use of stimulants and to
bacco. He gives a tabulated statement showing the age at
which the presidents assumed office, their expectancy of
life and the time lived after retiring.
He shows by figures from this table that the presi
dents, not counting those assassinated, lived but 9: per
cent of what their life expectancies entitled them to.
The amusing part of the doctor's "proof" is that he
made a mistake in the figures and robbed the poor presi
dents out of two per cent of their lives. Taking his fig
ures for it they lived not 9:5, but 95 per cent, of what the
table of life expectancies gives them.
Among those counted is President William Henry Har
rison, who died at the end of his first month in office,
and so he could not properly be counted with those who
had their lives "shortened by worry, stimulants" and the
other evils the doctor ascribes their shortened lives to.
With President Harrison left out of the count the re
mainder make a pretty fair showing having lived 99 Va
per ceit, so their lives if shortened at all as the doctor
claims, were only abbreviated in the sum of one half of one
per cent. So the doctor's elaborate figures to show the
wear of office on high public servants proves only that
they live as long as other folks. Having made a mistake
in his premises his long argument results, in false con
clusions. ' On top of this it might be pointed out that Uncle Joe
Cannon has just celebrated his eightieth birthday, is still
active and in congress where he has been for more forty
years and is apparently good for twenty years more,
though he only quits smoking long enough to eat, drink,
and it is presumed sleep.
TOO INTELLECTUAL FOR MOTHERHOOD
"Motherhood should be restricted to women of the
lower classes, who can bear children with less sacrifice"
was the statement of Mrs. Robert Liggett, of St. Paul,
made in a lecture at Seattle Saturday. She made many
other statements along this same line, showing she con
sidered the "intellectual woman" of a much higher
sphere than the every day common woman who makes a
home, raises children and gladdens and makes better this
old world by radiating love and sunshine and happiness
around her.
If the teachings of Mrs. Liggett are the result of edu
cation and "intellectuality," then the quicker humanity
reverts to savagery and ignorance the better.
The right of motherhood is divine, and belongs to every
woman. It is her heritage and her glory. That she goes
down into the shadow, and suffers is true; yet what
mother, as she cuddles her new born up to her bosom and
gives it sustenance; who sees its intelligence awaken and
i'eels its young life fasten its roots in her heart, until that
heart fairly aches with the love that only a mother can
ever feel, regrets her suffering and her pain?
; It might be better for the world if Mrs. Liggitt's ideas
were carried out for a generation, for that would elimin
ate the super-woman, the intellectual, cultured class too
good to bear children, and start the world all on a level;
all being born of the "common people."
It would do away with such as Mrs. Liggitt, and that
would be for the betterment of humanity.
In an effort to demonstrate that Shakespeare wrote
the plays accredited to him, Mr. Edgar M. Mumford in
several verses that are much better poetry than argu
ment, in Monday's Oregonian, calls attention to the fact
that birds sing without being taught, and gives several
other examples of that kind. He overlooks the fact that
whoever wrote Shakespeare's plays had a world-wide
konwledge, and a wonderful vocabulary. He had a fund
of history and an understanding of almost all trades and
occupations, and none of these things are "instinctive."
His knowledge of languages, ancient history and myth
ology had to be learned by study and reading. These are
the things on which the doubters of Shakespeare's author
ship hang their opinions and they surely have consider
able weight. The discussion of the matter is however
useless as it can never be settled. Let us be thankful the
plays were written and enjoy them regardless of their
authorship.
The Oregonian paragrapher says of a certain candi
date for a state office: He is a pedigreed republican, and
that is enough." Is it? The democratic candidates for
office this year are a minus quantity so we cannot be ac
cused of preaching non-partisanship for the purpose of
aiding the democrats, hence the question. Does it make
any difference what a state or county officer believes
politically in the way of making him a capable and ef
ficient officer? Should not the real and only test be the
fitness for the office to which the candidate aspires?
Should not the voters select the officers, the public serv
ants, just as they would one to handle their own personal
business? Does being a pedigreed republican or a full
blooded democrat or a life-long prohibitionist qualify one
for any office?
Since writing a paragraph concerning the politics in
state and county offices the following came to hand in
reading the statement of Fred G. Buchtel, candidate for
the republican nomination for Public Service Commis
sioner, in the official pamphlet issued by the secretary of
state: "If nominated and elected I will divorce the office
from politics and conduct it for the best interest of the
people ; I will put the clerical force an a merit and ef
ficiency basis and operate the office as economically as is
consistent with good business." If such offices are to be
"divorced from politics" why not make the divorce reach
the highest as well as the lowest in the office? Why not
begin with the head?
En eland exnects to remain the financial center of the
world after the war is ended. It may well be doubted if
she can do this. Indeed it is thought by many close stu
dents of world politics that instead of building up from
her colonies, that most of these will soon cut loose from
her, and that Canada and Australia are certain to do so
before very long. It is stated that the arrogance of the
British officers shown in their association with the troops
from the colonies has done much to weaken the loyalty
of the latter, and that a break is certain to come soon
after the close of the war. Exchange is made now adays
on the basis of the dollar rather than the pound and it will
remain that way.

The
Picture Tells
fWeSfon
It is stated that matches once used are gathered and
redipped in Japan. This is pointed to as a bit of economy.
Is it? Some things are more cheaply made than saved.
As a matter of fact a carpenter dropping a ten-penny nail
while at his work cannot afford to stoop to pick it up for
the nails can be made and delivered to him for less than
he can earn picking them up from the floor one at a time
The fact that a Jap could not pick up a cent's worth of "
match wood in a day makes that little story economical ;
only as to the truth in it.

In olden days, the which I praise, as warmly as I'm
able, we raised our beans and other greens out back
ferninst the stable. A garden plot behind his cot each
man inaugurated, and there he'd raise the
peas and maize, and vines with pumpkins
weighted. There dad would toil, and slug
, j the soil, his busy boys around him, and he'd
I have beets and kindred eats when wintry
tempests found him. This good old plan by
j modern man, no more, alas, is followed; but
I at the store.he blows his ore for everything
'i that's swallowed. He used bo pluck the
J earden truck, and eat it fresh and iuicv.
antl ere was lQts f-r all the tots, for Jake
and Bill and Lucy. His grocer s bill then
didn't kill, it was no grief to meet it; his bill of fare was
rich and rare, and no hotel could beat it In those old days
the poorest jays set up the best of tables; but now man
eats his greette and beets f rom cans with gaudy labels.
