HISTORY REPEATS
In 1861 in nearly every county seat, town and city
throughout the United States people turned out en masse
to honor and bid God-speed to the brave men who re
sponded to the call to keep intact the sisterhood of States.
Today in this same county seat, towns and cities, although
fifty-six years later, th same sad but patriotic and sacred
scenes are being enacted and the soldiers who are leav
ing now are grandsons of the brave boys who marched
away fifty-six years ago, but the flag they are going in
defense of is the same Old Glory their grandfathers so
gloriously defended more than half a oentury ago and
which, please God, will continue to wave when the white
winged dove of peace again spreads her pinions o’er our
fair land.

THE DESERT WIDENS
Bv the time Alaska goes drv at the end of the year
there will l>e mightly little wet territory left in the United
States in which the thirsty can irrigate without moles
tation. Old J. B. Corn is on the hike, and with congress
prodding him at every jump, he is having hard going. One
man was heard to remark here on the ocasion of the elec
tion this week to determine if liquor was to be sold the
remainder of the vear that to conform to the wish of the
people as expressed last November and allow the business
to continue to the date then agreed upon, was the only
good and logical argument the liquor interests had ever
been known to have. It was a good argument and it won.

WHO LET HER OUT?”
Certain principles of propriety rock foundations of
fitness, have donated the costumes of civilization. The
Greeks wore sher fabrics because thev lived in a warm
climate. The Russians wore furs because they lived in a
cold one. It seemed, and seems, reasonable and right.
But that American women who have been baring their
throats and chests to the blasts of winter and thus pre
senting an appearance of great misery, should swathe
themselves in fur under our fierce summer sun, gives us I
good cause to doubt their rationality.
Alienists tell us that the number of abnormal peo-i
I*ie in the world vastly exceeds our computation. Per
haps this is one of the ways in which women otherwise
sane betray their abnormality.

“YOU CAN’T HIDE BEHIND THAI.*' !
— Kirby in New York World.
1 stopped to stare at a young woman who was walking a
New York street wrapped in iurs that would ha\e defied
an Arctic winter. She wore a deep stole, decorated with
waggling tails and paws, and she panted, crimson, hut de
fiant. in the pitiless heat. The men, fanning themselves
with their straw hats, stood smitten by the sight. 1 hen
one of them, with eyes full of pity and concern, solemnly
wagged a conunisserating head. “Who let her out?’ he
asked. ^

HAS EATON A DEFENSE?
Allen H. Eaton, of Eugene, has been branded by his
fellow citizens as a disloyal American, lhe commercial
club of the university town—a representative organiza
tion of high standing—petitioned the governor to remove
him from the state legislature, and asked the president
of the University of Oregon to dismiss him from the fac
ulty of that institution.
The preamble to the resolutions is a terrific indict
ment against a man who has won a prominent place in
one of the finest communities in the Pacific coast. In the
last legisalture he narrowly missed election to speaker
ship of the house. He has been very active in educational
and social work. He was no average citizen.
Unless he is able to make a successful defense against
the charges of seditious conduct, preferred by the com
mercial club, his days of usefulness at Eugene are over.
If he could show that he was duped, that he did not know
the real character and purpose of the Chicago ‘‘peace ’
meeting which the governor of Illinois tried to prohibit,
he might be forgiven; his seditious participation might
be forgotten. If he knowingly aided and abetted the Prus
sianized People’s Council of America for Democracy and
Peace, it is time for him to pack his suitcase and buy a
ticket for Milwaukee or Berlin. He does not fit into so
fine an American city as Eugene.—Ex.
