HIS SECOND TERM BEGINS
While the second inaugural of Woodrow Wilson as
president of the United States took place today, his
second term began at noon yesterday when the oath of
office was administered to him by Chief Justice White.
Four years ago in taking his office he saw the world at
peace, and little dreamed of the terrible upheaval so soon
to take place. As he begins his second term he finds a
world at war, and the edges of its black cloud shadowing
the country whose destinies he is to guide for the next
four years. No president in the history of the republic,
save Lincoln, has had such momentous questions to de
cide, such demand for clear judgment. No president has
needed, or shown such broadness of mind, such unlimited
forbearance and patience.
Through more than two years and a half of his admin
istration he has had to face the complaints of portions of
his own people, whose sympathies were with one side or
the other in the terrible conflict still raging in Europe.
By some he has been accused of favoring one side; by
others of leaning toward the other. And through it all
he has had but one object: to maintain the strictest neu
trality. That he has done this is evidenced by these same
complaints which accuse him of being partial to both
sides.
He is still using his every energy to maintain that
neutrality and to keep this country out of war. If he
succeeds, he will have done the country inestimable serv
ice; and if he fails it will be only because every conceiv
able effort to avoid it has been in vain. He has asked of
Germany only one thing, that the right of Americans to
, travel and pursue the trade and commerce of the country
on the high seas be recognized, and that Germany so con
duct her undersea warfare that their lives are not jeop
ardized. He has asked simply that the rules of civilized
warfare be followed, and that neutral non-combatants be
not attacked, or their lives endangered. Germany first
recognized the fact that this request was proper and ac
ceded to it. A month ago she declared she would no
longer pay any attention to the rules of civilized warfare
but would destroy all who came within certain zones.
That is the issue now pending between this country and
Germanyand, notwithstanding the opposition of a small
body of senators and representatives the country at large
are willing to trust President Wilson to handle the knotty
problem.
It is the honest and earnest wish of every true Amer
ican that war with our old neighbor can be avoided, but
if it must come a solidly united nation stands behind the
president in anything he may do to maintain our rights
and those of humanity, and to make our flag a protection
to all who seek the shelter of its folds. President Wilson's
first term started with the world at peace and ended while
it was at war. It is the ardent hope of all that this second
term starting with a world at war may end with a new
world at peace, and at peace forever.
A Portland man has come to the front with a substitute
for potatoes. His recipe is two quarts of water, one
pound soft wheat flour, one pound of potatoes, half a
pound of split peas and two ounces of lard. This he says
will make a cheap substitute for potatoes. Let us see:
One pound of potatoes will cost say 4 cents. A pound of
flour will cost at least 4 cents and half a pound of split
peas will cost about the same while the two ouonces of
lard will cost three cents. This would give a mixture, not
counting the water, of two and five-eights pounds at a
cost of fifteen cents or about six cents a pound, as a sub-
smuie ior me same amount 01 potatoes at a cost of some
thing less than twelve cents. This is about the way most
oi tne ioou substitutes hgure out. The discoverer says
it is more nourishing and fifty per cent cheaper. If his
ideas of nourishment are as valuable as those about cost,
his discovery is a notable one.
Miss Eunice Hughes, of Los Angeles, is another who
has made a discovery about food values. Eunice urges as
a good and sufficient breakfast "half a pound of choco
lates." She says "it will make you feel better and put
you in cheerier spirits than a regular breakfast of bacon
and eggs and grape fruit." This should make an ideal
breakfast for a laboring man, especially if it was served
in a pretty box tied with a bow of pink ribbon, and be
fore the workingman crawled out of bed to do a hard days
work.
VICE PRESIDENT
(Continued from page cue.)
The poulterers of New York city are up against it.
The Jewish women declared a boycott on all poultry and
the result is there are 300,000 pounds of turkey alone left
over from Sunday, instead of the whole supply being used
up as usual. It is stated that if the boycott is kept up the
dealers will have to take the count as they have supplies
contracted for and have to accept shipments whether they
sell them or not. Surely this is the "woman's age."
With more than half a billion dollars appropriated for
the navy the time is not far distant when Uncle Samuel
will be in condition to protect not only his own shores but
to assist in maintaining the peace of the world.
The Oregon Agricultural College having been given a
fat appropriation celebrated the event by organizing a
new "Frat." The latest is the Lambda . Chi Alpha. It is
not an agricultural implement.
You can tell all old Oregonians today by their broad
smiles. The rain began falling Saturday night.

The West Coast Lumbermen's Association's records
show that the unshipped balance of transcontinental and
local orders held by association mills is 17,372 cars, or
mo ixi than 11,000 cars above the normal. Besides' this
many mills have shut down and the cut last week was
only 67,688,:7: feet, which is nearly 25 per cent less than
normal. Many millions of dollars that should be circul
ating in the northwest are not doing so, and all because
the railroads are not doing their duty. It is claimed by
the roads that conditions will get worse for a few weeks,
but that about April first it will begin to get better and
that in a short while, unless war. matters interfere condi
tions will soon be normal again.
C. C. Chapman sized up the legislature before the
Portland Civic League Saturday evening in "a straddle."
He said "The legislature just closed was more mediocre
in the matter of the individual ability of its members,
than any I have attended and more honest." Chapman
generally so qualifies his statements that he saves his
life; but still calling a man honest hardly balances -the of
fense of saying he is mediocre.

PEACE AND WAR
Peace is the noblest, greatest cause, a peace
that's firm and stable; with shock absorb
ers on my jaws, I boost it all I'm able. Year
after year, without surcease, this theme I
have been yapping; but there's a time to
talk of peace, a time to talk of scrapping.
When Uncle Sam is threatened sore with
some great dire disaster, I don't admire the
peace graft bore whose tongue goes ever
faster. I don't admire the bloodless wight
who thinks the land's a goner, if we would
rather up and fight than wallow in 'dis
honor. I didn't raise my maiden aunt to be a noisy brawl
er, but when the battle charges pant, she'll step out doors
and holler. I didn't raise my lovely niece to fool with
swords and lances, but she, I know, will pass up peace
whene'er a foe advances. I am too old and fat to fight,
out where the weapons rattle, but warlike odes I'll gladly
write, to cheer you in the battle. Go forth, Jbrave hearts,
bold, unafraid, if there should be a riot! I'll bring you
pails of lemonade whenever things are quiet.

"Everywhere in America are strident

of them all to aoloct one clear note of

it to be far more important to examine
myself than to cross-examine another "
"I have faith," he said, "that this
government of ours was divinely ordain
ed to disclose whether men are fitted
by nature, or can by education to be
made fit for self government; to teach
Jew ami OveXk, boudinan and free,

before the law and to be tender and
true to humanity everywhere and un

that I am absolutely right. In an indi

patriotism and if I keep myself keyed
up in unison with the music of the
union, my fellow men will catch the
note and fall into time and step.
"I believe there is no finer form of
government than the one under which
we live and that I ought to be willing
to live or to die, as God decrees, that it
may not perish from off tho earth
through treachery within orthrough as
sault from without; and I believe that
though my firt right is to be a partisan
that my first duty, when the only prin
ciples on which free government can
rest are being strained, is to be a patriot
and to follow in a wilderness of words
that clear call which bids me guard and

I was intensely shocked at what Clif

lations with Mabel Horftm. While I had
jealously mistrusted him, yet I was not
prepared for his admission.
'It was easier than I thought, Leon
ard," I told him when he came in the
next afternoon. He will make no trou
ble about Edith if I get my divorce
quietly somewhere away "from here,
where incompatibility, or some other
excuse covers up the real cause. "
."And you will marry me at once J"
he exclaimed, joyously.
"I-don't-know that I shall marry you
at all. Wait a minute," as he started
to speak, "I want to feel perfectly
free. I am not sure that I shall want
to marry. I have been very unhappy
more so than anyone knows- And"
"But that is just tho reason you must
inn rry me, so that I can make up to you
for all you have lost," he argued.
"But can you, ean anybody give us
back our lost -deal; our happy carefree
youth and belief in human naturet"
"I will give yours back if "
"I doubt it, Leonard."

A crooked smile was his only answer
for a minute. Then after making me
promise to call on him for anything I
should need he left me. I was to see
him but once more, the afternoon before
I left Glcmlale. He kissed my hands as
he left, once he leaned toward me as if
to kiss my face.
