A New York physician, discussing the prohibition question, makes a comparison of booze and politics which is even less complimentary to the latter than to the former: oeegon "Although the saloon mav be -looked uDon as an evil influence in American civil life today," he says, "a careful comparison of its history with that of American politics ?nd politicians of the same period will not credit it with being the greater offender in this respect. Cant, hypoc risy, sham morality and servility to power are the shin- i ing sins of American politics.

Aliens are leaving America today faster than they are coming. Instead of the wild rush to our shores of the "cheap foreign labor" that so many prophets expected as soon as the war was over, the unskilled labor we had is melting away, and considerable skilled labor with it. One of the large steel plants of the East has taken a census of its alien employees and reports that 61 per cent of them purpose to return to the old country and nine-tenths of them say they intend to remain when they get there. Out of 6000 Poles in a Connecticut city, 2000 are going back to restored Poland. A Hungarian leader in Chicago estimates that 50 per cent of the unnaturalized Austro-IIungarians of that city will return to hurope. The situation can be -regarded with equanimity at present. As lone as times are rather dull and there is a labor surplus clogging up the country's economic system, it is a relief to get nd of the non-producing consumers. It hastens the end of unemployment and makes easier and quicker the transition to good times. It eases the Ameri canization task, too, enabling the country to assimilate the raw immigrant mass that came over before tne war. But this satisfaction may not last. As soon as busi ness picks up a little more there will be a demand for more workers. Able-bodied and respectable immigrants may then be appreciated more than they have been for decades. We are informed that I. E. Stevens has sold his farm of 1200 acres, northeast of Eugene, to J, M. Sears, of Tolk county, for $7100. He also sold a fine lot of cattle for $18 a head. Eugene Register. This item was clipped from a column reprinted from the files of the Eugene paper for 1885. That was in the good old days we hear so much about. Think of selling 1200 acres of fine vallev land for $7100 now, and a "fine U of cattle" for $18 a head 1 RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason TOMORROW. Tomorrow is the grandest dayan antidote for sor row! There's no despair for any jay who banks on his tomorrow. Today may be a frost and crime, I'm ever forward looking; I waste no portion of my time complain ing and gadzooking. I've always had the pleasant gift of banking on tomorrow; and so my old bald head I lift abote the tides of sorrow. You say, "Tomorrow, if it comes, will call forth sultry phrases; let's weep and gnash our toothless gums, and cuss our luck like blazes." And you are old, beyond your years, infirm throughout your body; your eyes are boiled in- scalding tears, and I am young and gaudy. I am as chippe r as a colt, no trouble will I borrow; and if today gives me a jolt, I'm banking on to morrow. Tomorrow is the blamedest day, the balm for ; 11 our bruises! When man shoos this belief away, all hope and pep he loses. Oh, yesterday made people cry, today we think is sadder; tomorrow's stacking up so high we reach it with a ladder. So let us tin our tiresome t"ars, and can our sobs and sorrow, and hang pink tassels on our ears, and bank on our tomorrow. cial organization as do those existing in places of power in the political world today." Perhaps this is not altogether fair. The evils of American politics in the past have been associated very largely, in the public mind at least, with the evils of the saloon itself. It was the crooked and profitable alliance between politics and saloons, particularly in municipal af fairs, which produced the worst phase of American politi cal history, a phase which has now nearly disappeared but is still a bitter memory. It must be admitted, however, that the elimination of liquor as a power in politics 'does bring with .it an amount of "cant, hypocrisy, sham morality and servility to power" that is not pleasant to contemplate, not to men tion other substitutes for real statesmanship observable among legislators. Possibly when the water regime is finally estab lished for good throughout the country, and the liquor question is forgotten with all its devious ramifications, we may get more honest, sincere and straightforward pub lic servants. It does seem, to an optimist at least, that the present tendency " is in that direction, notwithsanding many glaring instances to the contrary. The Oregon Sinn Feiners hissed SenatorMcNary be cause he did not come out squarely in favor of congress declaring Ireland free and independent .of England when the American congress has no more right to take such action than the English parliament has to declare any state in this nation an independent government. As a matter of fact these hyphenated Americans are trying to stir up trouble and use their American citizenship solely for that purpose. They interpret liberty to mean license and seek to make their friendly asylum in the new world an incubator for the hatching of plots that have to do solely with the fueds of the old world. Such citizens, native or naturalized, should be given little consideration by real Americans in the future and those politicians who appeal to racial and religious prejudice for their support, the men responsible very largely for hyphenated citizen ship, should be repudiated at every opportunity by voters, and be given to understand that they are not wanted here. These Sinn Fein Irishmen as a rule did nothing to help this country during the recent war, they were lukewarm or positively traitors in the main, and are mostly pro fessional politicians. Now they are humiliating those Americans of Irish descent who are good, loyal citizens, for in this country it is not a question what part of tne world a man or his parents was born in, but rather how well is he living up to the ideals of American citizenship. The men who want to fight for the independence of Ire land should go over to that country and fight it out there and not seek to embroil the United States in an alien dispute. I: l Having failed to Russianize America through strikes! and riots the Bolsheviks have now resorted to the fav- orite Russian propaganda weapon the bomb.

Unfortunately it is usually not until then that the doctor is con sulted and asked to treat the diseased orpin. 1 The surest way of purifying the blood and preventing the (urination of these destructive body poisons is to prevent stagnation of food wast.: in the intestinal tract to prevent constipation.
