BLIND PARTISAN NEWSPAPERS Partisan newspapers are generally unfair and unjust in their criticism of men and measures. For instance, l Via PonrJtatnn TVihnnp An vimivivi. v Wilson's second inaugural last to say of the executive head of the nation: "In each election he was the child of accident, of luck, perhaps of destiny. First he fell heir to the honors re sulting to his party from republican fratricide. Now he is continued because of national timidity, a lack of public patriotism, and a wave of yellow pacificism. To predict his place in history would be folly. To prophecy the failure or triumph of his second term would be impossible. The man is unfortunately a follower not a leader." On the following day the same paper printed a most vindictive attack upon Senator Harry Lane because he refused to obey the wishes of this same "unpatriotic" president, who was swept into power by a "wave of yel low pacificism." The Tribune said: " Kleotoi by the people of Oregon, not because of his part- affiliations, but despite ot ''.thorn, Lane ought indeed to respect the opinion of the con stituency which he represents, nnd there can be no doubt that seven-eighths of the citizens of thin state, regardless of political fnith, are now sustain ing Hie president in his effort to uphold the honor of the republic nnd to protect i' people. If the senator cannot conscientiously do that, it is bin duty to promptly resign nnd permit the governor to appoint n successor who will vole Jhe stern resolve or Oregon to do its full tdiare in national duty. There are ninety-six senntors. Twelve of them united to defeat the purpose of tho administration and to obstruct the course of patriotic opinion. I.nne was one of the twelve, lie has made his record and it will riBe up to cirrac bin:, lie will limner on for nnother two years, a political outcast. Then the end will come. Oregon will never again give him honor. This is not n time for weak lings in public places. " . If the Tribune was not utterly blinded by partisan ship it would naturally commend Lane for refusing to place practically unlimited power for peace or war in the hands of a president, branded only the day before as a weakling totally unworthy of the confidence and respect of the nation. It happens, however, that both men are democrats and, therefore, must be wrong in everything they do. To our mind such newspapers as the Tribune are a far greater menace to the national welfare and honor than Senator Lane or any other man. They interpret freedom of the press to mean license to be unjust, un fair and untruthful in the treatment of public questions and public officials, and recognize no quality of patriotism unless it bears the brand of partisanship. That papers of the type of the one referred to are not so numerous as they were a few years ago is one of the cheering signs of the times. This is "orange day" and the big golden globes are both abundant and cheap. In fact they are cheaper just now than the lowly onion, or the every-day spud. Be sides they are the product of our sister state to the south, she of the sunny disposition and smiling countenance. For this reason everybody should sample the golden ap ples of Hesperides, and not only sample them, but fill up. They will do no harm and will help our neighbor get rid of her crop. This is genuine reciprocity for she is de manding our potatoes, and helping keep them in the luxury class, and Oregon farmers to view the scenery from the hurricane deck of his Ford. "Home Rule for Ireland," which for many years was the most prominent plank in tho democratic platforms, again bobs up to the great worry of England's law makers, The Irish orator who said in his peroration in a patriotic speech about his native island said: "Poor Ireland, she does not know what she wants, and she will never be happy until she gets it:" left but little to be said on the subject. The county judges of Polk and Marion counties have been summoned to appear before the supreme court in a short time and show cause why they should, or should not build a bridge across the Willamette at this point. It does not take long to array a basketful of reasons why they should build the bridge, but it will bother them or either of them to find any substantial reason why they should not. This being true, it looks as though the irri tating bridge trouble would soon be removed, and some plan for getting the work started, agreed on.

When he adds, inserts and qualifies the speech he made in order to hold up to be judged by it. The senator is too late, counted him out. The people have judged him not by what he is getting ready to say; but by what he has said, and done. His double barreled shotgun speech one bar rel loaded with buckshot for the president, and a blank no . nl, in V. l,.-. iai LI lute in cue ULI1CI Udl I get him anywhere. For once a total failure. It is necessary secure thirty-five recruits to pre serve the organization of Company M of this city. This would not seem a difficult thing to do on first thought, but it seems the young men of Salem do not respond to the call to the colors and progress in recruiting is slow. This conditioon is due no doubt to the more stringent regulations governing the National Guard and the ad ditional requirements of duty under the new army laws passed by congress during the past session. It may best be overcome iri Salem and elsewhere by the co-operation of the businessmen who are for the most part employers of the class of young men who are appealed to. If they will but signify their desire to promoote enlistment by guaranteeing their co-operation and making it possible for the employe to devote the necessary time and atten tion to the service, with the further assurance that his position will always be held open for him in case of call to active service, we believe the young men of this com munity, or any other community, will not be backward in heeding the call to service under their country's flag. The young men, however, must not be , expected to shoulder the entire burden of service and responsibility, allowing the financial and business interests to feel that the common defense of the nation is none of their concern. , . That New York judge who right to take money from her husband's pockets while he slept, if he does not provide enough funds for household expenses, is several laps behind what the women decided some hundreds of years before he was born. They go even further in their interpretation of the law, and ignore the judge's specifications about household expenses. . It is a decision from which there is no appeal, but the hus band is not without a remedy and defense. He need not have any money in his pockets that is at bed time, especially if he lives in a community where the bone dry law is not in effect, and the saloons stay open until mid night. A man who cannot get rid of all his spare change under those conditions before midnight deserves to be robbed that is to have wifey see if his pockets need mending. F. Huntington, an American engineer has a plan for building vessels that would practically defy the sub marines. His ships would be of 1,000 tons capacity, have no masts, be smokeless, and invisible to submarines at a short distance. These could be turned out' at the rate of 1,000 a year by present shipyards being enlarged. The ships could be built for $100,000 each and as the engineer says, "turned out faster than the submarines could sink them." Whether this plan proves practical or otherwise, it can be depended on that if present conditions exist any length of time some genius will find a way of beating the submarines to it. EMPTY The strong man said, as he cast his eye on a string of cripples that hobbed by, "The lame, the halt and the blind are here; they're shy of teeth and they're deaf of ear, with their swollen feet and their stif fened knees, they have more aches than a dog has fleas. Oh, what has life for suc.i chaps as those, with their aches and pains and their endless woes? If ever the May shall come to me, when the bright blue heavens I cannot see, when my sinews ache and I've lost my pep, and I toil along with , a cripple's step, when every breath is a groan or sigh, I'll turn my face to the wall and die." Fell sickness came, and his strength was spent ; he left his bed, and his back was bent, his ears were deaf and his eyes were dim, and there was torture in every limb. His every breath was a groan or sigh, but he didn't turn to the wall and die. He hoped I for health though the hope was vain, and prayed for life j in the sorest pain, and spent his savings for dope and pills, and learned to brag of his many ills. the hint from Senator Lane He savs he has not had the senate, he will be willing the referee, the public, has . i:i: . n j.

TRY JOURNAL WANT ADS Cll.U'TEU CLXXV. I had been so busy getting settled, so interested in finding a suitable home for the months I should spend in Reno that 1 I ad had little time for sad or morbid thoughts. Now that every thing was arranged, house, music, etc., I fell into n sort of melancholy that in spite of all my efforts, lasted for days. During this time I wrote Leonard Brooke: "I don't know what has come over mo, but 1 fool no interest in anything; i absolutely none. I try to lose myself in my music, a book, but without sue-j cess.

In other words, they were all formerly volcanos but are all now extinct with the excep tion of Mt- I.asscn.

Mt. Tabor is 054 feet high and is com posed of the ancient river gravel almost to the top. On the Sandy boulevard be fore reaching Troutdale there is the old gravel formation but the cliffs bey ond Troutdale are ot volcanic lava. FIEE IN GUN PLANT l.'tica. N. Y., Mar. 10.
