A GREAT ENTERPRISE. ' Uy various celebrations In ('anml.i this month the? 2 SOth .inr.ivrrK.iry of th founding of the "Govtrnor and Company of Advfnturors of KnIaml Trailing Into Hudens Hay" is In in- ob:- rvfl. The history of tho cnU-rpri.. b-Ufr known undrr the name of the Hudson's U.iy is a romantic talc of adventure. Tho cnrnp'iny within until about 50 years Tiosrics.-'c! within itself the powers of a despotism. It exerrlg.fl through its charter rights legislative. judicial and r.vcutive powers in all the region drained by waters that flow into Hudson's bay. While, primarily a commercial undertaking in f.ict it w as a suvr rnir.T.t within the British domain, making laws, nlminist-rinp; crude justice within the wilderness and vaj;ins war when its ostensible rights were challenKd. Its financial rewards wer- Krat, though it was compelled to enK;ie In warfare with Frenchmen who disputed tho tompany's authority. The savages, who dwelt in the desolate region where the enmrany's forts were tirt. established, trapped the. furs which they exchanced for whatever poods the factors were willing to pive. Sine thre was no competition it is ea.y to und-rs!and that making money for the company watf not ditl'icult. Today In the wlldrr p.'irts cf Canada the Hudson's lii.y posts and stores; are still found. Their merchandising efforts have even invaded the cities. The monopoly once enjoyed no longer exists, but the business still rocs on. The adventure that one" attended the trader in the wilderness are ended, for the old days are uone. The story of the- Hudson' Hay Co. Is a history of a lnrpe part of Canada.

MISTAKEN RECLAMATION. A bill introduced in congress provides for the drainape of Klamath lake bird reservation in Oregon. The purpose is to use tho land for farm settlement under the homestead laws, particularly by veterans of the world war. Opening up new farm land is an excell?nt thins. Most citizen have been Kreativ disappointed that congress took no favorable action on the saj.ffcstions for such work made by former Sec'y of the Interior Ixine. Put if the s tatement of experts in the department of agriculture is true, Klamath Iike i3 r.ot the place to begin expensive drainage work. The lands of that region, it is said, are too alkaline for the prowinpr of cultivate,! crops. If the marshes were drained there would be Pft not pood farming land, but barren alkr.ll Hats. Furthermore, Klamath Iake is already in very trood use. It is an ideal home for migratory waterfowl such as ducks, freese, prcb" and pdiean. The thi.f of the bureau of biological survey ha.- des -ribed the repion as "one of the mon notable mißraten' bird reservations in the United States, and of highest importance in the conservation of wild bird life." If all the birds w re driven, out of the country or killed outrlpht, there would be little use in opening up new farm lands or in tryimr to cultivate the ones already devoted to agriculture, for the harmful insect pests would have 'Vcrythintr their own way and would destroy rrors faster than farmers could plant them. The protection of these birds is a riuestion of interevt not simply to the people of Oregon, but to . vry citizen in ev-u-y part of the country. Concrfss should be encouraged to avoid such blunders as the proposed bill seems to be.

PA RT I S A NS H I P5 K I RT LN G" T H E EDGE OF TREASON. It Is natural for men to indulge in the illusion? of their hope, and with politicians, (specially so. It Is just as natural lor men and e-j eeially politicians. to srek covr under some sort of subterf upc. when their wish, made father of their thoughts, and prematurely advertised as fact, is shattered by the vis cf truth. Thus it is t hat anti-administration politicians in Washington, and the anti-administration, rrcs-s, ar scurryir.p about today, still damning the president of course, and seeking to make light cf the. exposure that has followed their employment of Sycophant Sims, "the preaU-st I'ritish admiral In the American navy." to discredit America for lie r part in the war and incidentally make of it an issue in the realm of partisan politic-. Plainly cnoueh it has been the purpose of opi or.enbs and critics of Frcs't Wilson, r.ot only in his peace, but his war administrations, to po before th-? people this fall, so d- sp- rate in their determination to discredit him and his party, that they would even rob tile army of it laurels and the navy of the gdory, in justi- e due them, for their part in turr.inp back the Hun and bringing th0 preat world war to -an armistice. Merely concerned in depriving a party administration, no: their own. and the preatert president fince Lincoln, not cf their partisan faith, of the res-pee: due them for the prestipe won fcr America Incident to the convict, they would disclaim eery American accomplishment and throw even our national self-r-spee: to the winds, hath Internationally and internally. Sycophant Sims was chosen as a text book for their attack on the navy: be.rae of his easy accessibility, susceptibility willinpru s to .-c rve. His rB8 a double purpose. One objective was to serve

his party friends politically and the other objective was to serve his Knplih friends historically. Most of the countries or.pnpe, in the war have been extremely proud of the part they played. French, Kr.srlish and Italian authors have written plowing stories of the accomplishments of their respective nations, but i ractlcally all that has been written of America and larpe'y due to the wealth within a prtat political party and the subsidies that it has handed out, has been written for the purpose of robbinp the I'nited States of all credit. Ah, yes! And they tell us too. that It la so In the nam of patriotism; but. It is a patriotism, mind you, too lowbrowed and un-American to distinguish between Itself and partisanship. Partisanship, too, skirting the odfre of treason unother pial pity with respect to which Is that the American pros has known the truth, and concealed It; takinp advantage of Pres't WTL-on's peculiar unTtooseveltlar. indisr ositlon to indulpe In boasting and self-praisinp bombast. It has required almost morbid self-restraint on the part of even anti-administration newspapers that have extravagantly headlined the brutal attacks of Sycophant Sims, made upon Sec'y laniejs and he American army and navy a self-restraint f 1; it as morbid as that indulged by them in withholdinp mere falrnefs in head-.'lnlnpr See'y Daniel's come-back. You noticed, If your memory . rves you ruht, how the im3 outburst brought banners acress the top of the front page but th Daniels reply went down under about fourth-rate heads, reduced to a minimum of attractive force. And so here we stand, an approximate half of our population, victims of a trreat r-Olitleal party and its organs of publicity, so unprincipled In their Americanism as to employ the services, anger, and injured pride, of an, unscrupulous American anglophile. to discredit their own country and Its Just war record, not only In the eyes of the world, but with its own citizenship. They have proposed to make it a campaign issue; to ask the people to vote that party into power on the supposition that America's part in the world war was a negligible quantity: that tho credit all belongs to Great Britain, and France, and Italy, and Japan; in short that, .specially as to Great Britain wo were only in her way, such is the view that the. anti-adminlstra-tionists have hoped tho people would take, and they wanted to take office on such a fraud. Low, low, indeed, flows the tide of truo patriotism throuph the veins of mer capable of condescension to such dciths. The Civil war was the result of a well-organized conspiracy against the union of the states. Republican leadership, as organized, and purposed today, seems little other than a conspiracy to poison all the wells of American patriotism, even to despoiling the last vestige of our national pride and national honor.

TRUTH IN FABRICS. If the claims of sheep men are Justified that enactment of tho "truth in fabrics" bill now before congress would result in opening the doors of storebouses containing hundreds of millions of pounds of virgin wool, the average man may rightfully regard tho measure as a powerful weapon In the battle for lower living costs. . The national sheep and wool bureau a&serts that a vast amount of virgin wool has been withheld from the market while all-wool clothing has been manufactured of shoddy from wool rags. The Capper-French bill would require manufacturers to stamp their cloth with the percentage of cotton or shoddy used. One effect would be, it is. urged, to bring virgin wool into tho market in such quantities as to make possible a notable reduction In price of shoddy. Strong opposition has been aroused in certain quarters and tho proposed law Is alleged by some clothing mea to be defective in several respects. With the prlncifle involved, however, there must be general agreement. The consumer has a right to know what h is getting. Few consumers and few retail dealers are expert enough to distinguish cloth or garments made from virgin wool and those made from shoddy. To reCitire that cloth be stamped would put a premium upon garments of virgin wool and, tho growers argue, would stimulate sheep raising. In a period of vied shortage such a result is highly desirable.

The British are getting very sore at American prohibition speakers. Which means that the British tipplers and liquor interests are getting scared. The "ripht little, tight little isle" may not be tight much longer.

The L.OS Angeles "bluebeard" who confessed to killing nine wives is given a life sentence. We are left in doubt as to the number he would have had to kill in order to merit hanging.

Thirteen seems to be an unlucky number for the suffrapists while that number of states refrain from ratifying the Anthony amendment.

Wonder if William will welcome Mr. Carranza to Ameronpen?

HITLPIN'G HUMANITY. Maj. Arthur It. llobtnson. Clialrman Salvation Army Home Service Appeal.) Indiana citizens are being called on through the homo service appeal of the Salvation Army to support the commendable , work that organization is doing for the relief of the distressed and miserable! and in dealing with the vexing social problems that dally arise in every community. lteports of corps commanders of Salvation Army posts in tho larger cities of this state show the surprisinply large scope of the organization's uplift work. Prisoners are prayed with and advised, young girls are rescued from danger, families are tided over reverses, and men and women are saved from social ruin by kind words and timely aid. The victims of misfortune and the wrecks of folly must be considered. The community cannot discard the-m without breeding degeneracy and risking increased crime. It is the responsibility of every good citizen to look after these whom failure and vice has made dependent and weak. The- Salvation Army home service appeal offers every individual who senses this duty to humanity an opportunity to contribute his share to a fund which will be wisely and efficiently expended In tho Interest of the poor and needy. There can be no question of the merits of this appeal. It is deserving of substantial support and it is to be hoped that this community will meet its obligation to home fccrvico in the fullest and most complete manner.

Far be It from us to decry education We haven't been harmed by what little we've got. And people we know of importance and station Are free to maintain it has helped them a lot. To learn we have no objection whatever, But one never teaches a cricket to hop. And we are convinced that it's wasted endeavor For schools to attempt to teach women to shop. Teach women to shop! Why the maidens of seven Know all of the candy store prices by heart. And when they have reached tho ripe age of eleven They've thoroughly mastered the marketing art. Though butchers cajole 'em, and grocers beseech 'em They never are left for a second in doubt; They need no professors or tutors to teach 'em. They will either get what they want, or get out. A woman goes shopping as went the crusader In days long departed In quest of the grail. She never turned back, and no craft can persuade er To pass up a bargain or pass by a sale. A man loosens up for whatever he fancies. Without any knowledge of what it is worth. But women don't take any hazardous chances. They know how to shop from the day of their birth. One might as well seek to give tips to a robin On how he should perch on a hickcry limb. Give lessons in neighing to honest old Dobbin. Or Tutor a trout in the best way to swim. We're strong, as we've said, for the New Education, But one never teaches a turtle to flop. For flopping was ever tho turtle s vocation. And one simply cannot teach women to shop. (Copyright. 1920.)

VERA. There' are comparatively few Rus

sian names in vogue In this country. Vera is the exception to the general rule which excludes such popular Slavic appellatives as Tatiana and Nastasia Vera. Indeed, is not purely Russian since it appears in Spanish nomenclature, but in both languages, it bears the same significance: that of "faith." It is one of the 12 Slavic names which appears in the "Monument of Faith," a sort of devotional prayer book applied to each day of the year with the names of each saint appearing in the Russian calendar. For that reason Vera has always been exceptionally popular as a Russian feminine name. It is doubtful however, if her derivation is responsible for her vogue here. Possibly she is the result of the early Spanish influence in the American colonies, or again, it may be that the shortness and euphony of the name is the explanation for its adoption- and practical Americanization. Amber Is Vera's tallsmanlc stone. It has power to make her invincible in all undertakings where bodily and mental health are required. It is said to ward off disease and to insure a safe Journey when worn by a traveler. Monday is Vera's lucky day and two her lucky number.
