as if an Italian army had driven an
enemy from the field.
1t is about as sensible a perform

pie who, not long ago, although they
were taxed to death for a costly and
wicked Italian expedition of conquest
in. remote Africa, received the news
of it's defeat and withdrawal with such
diSpleasure as shook ministry 10
pieces, and for a time threatened the
stability of the throne itself. If public
events sometimes compl us to think
that our own pople are not as fully
developed as we might expect them to
be after century of freedom and in
dependence, the peoples of Europe APP
pear, by comparison, as the veriest

event, and national interests be sup
posed to hang upon a couple of men
trying for half an hour to run each

THE LUNCH WAGON.

To Editor Globe
Permit me, in the capacity of one of the
most unassuming of the "lunch wagon oper-
ators.' to say a few words in reply to the
remarks of the person who signs himself "a
Restaurant Keeper" in your issue of Sunday
last.
1t seems to me that such "weighty dis
cussion' as this which involves the possible
RELOCATION to private life of a few poor devils
who are now trying with more or less (prin-
cipally less) success to make living for
their families and themselves, merits at least
the signature of the restaurant keeper
whose ''kick" is recorded in your valuable
paper But, no; he prefers to blush I'M
SEEM though he by no means intends his
sweetness to be wasted on the descent
air." He does not even sign himself ''Veri-
tas," or "Pro Bono Publico' or Constant
Reader" No, he poses poor downtrodden.

TWO OREGON SENATOR'S.
One Present, and One a Pnst,
Here,

one Present, and One Past,

Senator George W.. Mcbride and ex-
Senator John H. Mitchell, both of Ore
gon, are registered at the Merchants
and will remain in the city for two or
three days visiting some of their old
friends, stopping on their way home to
the coast. Mr.. Mitchell has just return
ed from a trip to Europe, his wife being
very ill in Paris, and he is crossing the
continent in company with his old COL
league.
Senator Mcbride has the distinction
of being the only senator who is the
sole representative of his state in the
senate; Mr. MitchelPS term expired last
March and the legislature failed to
elect his successor. The governor ap-
pointed Henry w. Corbett to fill the
vacancy, Mr.. Corbett served in the
senate from Oregon from 1856 to 1922
but legal question arose as to the
governors power to do this, and the
matter is still pending before a senate
committee. It is probable that a spe-
cial session of the legislature will be
called next winter to elect some one to
the vacancy.
In speaking of matters political, SEN
ator Mcbride said: 81 favor the Unit
ed States recognizing the belligerency

if we don't look out the Cubans will
