TRY To FIX Up
CHAMP GAME

Attempts are being made to ar
range championship game be-
tween the football elevens of the
university of Washington and the
university of Oregon to be played
at Portland, November 10. At
present writing, however, neither
team seems particularly anxious to
sign up for the game.
Washington has not suffered a
defeat this year and is picked for
an easy winner over the Washing
ton State College In this city next
Saturday while the fellows who fig.
ure the dope are certain that Ore
gon will walk away from the Ore
gon Agricultural College at Eugene
on the same date.
In this event, the championship
question would be in such shape
that it could only be settled by a
game between the two university
teams, and 1t is to be hoped that
the deal for November 10 will not
fall through.

CONSERVATION OF THE CLAM.

The succulent American clam Is
growing scarce; everybody eats him;
nobody conserves him at all, says a
writer In Success Magazine. State
and national governments guard the
fish from extinction; the lobster in
dustry is protected as II It were a ten
der, helpless steel trust; the oyster Is
personally conducted through a peril
GUS infancy. but there Is nothing to
stand between the clam and the ulti-
mate consumer. From Maine to Car
olina comes the sad news that the
noble race Of clans is facing extinc-
ton. Constant attendance at shore
dinners has brought their downfall.
Something will have to be done in
a national, constructive. statesmanlike
way II we would save our grandchil-
dren from clamnessness. Unless we
institute a closed season and prohibit
free claiming. another generation
will not know the delights OF the lit

WOODROW WILSON.

New Jersey is the scene this fall,
of political campaign in which every
citizen of the state is keenly interest
ed, but not Jerseymen alone; the
whole country has fixed its gaze on
New Jersey as never before. The
newspapers, not only of New York
and Philadelphia, but throughout the
union, are probably giving more space
to New Jersey affairs at the present
moment than in any previous cam
paign of that state within the men,
ory of living men. From the limbo of
parochial politics New Jersey has sud-
denly emerged; for the first time in
many years her concerns have a place
in the nations thought. This is be-
cause the states most eminent citi-
zen has accepted the nomination of
the minority party for the governor
ship and is actively seeking election
to that high office. From the mo-
ment when President Woodrow Will
son, of Princeton University, was
nominated by the democratic state
convention at Trenton to succeed the
republican Governor Fort it was ev-
erywhere foreseen that the state cam
paign of 1910 would mark an epoch
in New Jerseys political history. This
was notably an instance of the office
seeking the man and very distinctly
an instance of success in the search;
for DR.. Wilson's equipment is excep-
tional, his fitness for the governor
ship is unquestioned.
The fact that man of such engag-
ing qualities as a leader willingly re-
signs from the presidency Of Prince
ton to challenge the supremacy of one
of the most strongly intrenched par
ty organizations in the country does
not fail to impress itself on the AM
ercan imagination. 1t is this that
makes the New Jersey canvass inter-
esting-not the money that is being
spent by the "ins' or the "outs,' not
the well-worn campaign shibboleths
of either party, not the charge of ex-
travagance in state administration;
for all these things are taken for
granted. The one thing that is new
is a personality and upon that per-
sonality is focused just now the at
tention of the whole country.-From
''Woodrow Wilson and the New Jer-
sey Governorship" in the American
Review of Reviews for November.

FROM THE FARM.

When the world wants good cows,
horses, sheep, hens and hogs it sends
out to the farms and gets them.
When it wants good things to eat
it writes a letter to the farmers and
is never disappointed in getting just
what it orders.
When it wants the choicest fruit,
our farms have it. If fruit is not
plentiful in the East, there is the
great West to draw from.
When it is looking for homes for
the thousands in other lands who
never knew what home really is, it
sends to this great country of ours.
When the world feels the need of
men to do great things, it reaches out
it's hand to the farm, and says: You
have just the ones we want. Send
them to us! 1t is time of sore stress;
do not fail us!"
And from the farms a steady
stream of men goes to answer the call.
You find them in the offices. in the
factories, in the stores of the great
cities. They are doing much of the
worlds work today, and they will al
ways be doing 1t; for the farm grows
just that kind of men.
The world gets its best from the
farm; and there is a-plenty left.
Let's be thankful for that!-From
November Farm Journal.

WHERE GOOD MEN FAIL.

Good men go wrong in politics by
paying no attention to who gets con-
troll of their party machinery and too
little attention to nominations. Of
ten he wakes up to find that his par
ty has been mismanaged. This is es-
pecially true in the populous centers
like New York.
In its Progress of the World de-
partment the American Review Of
Reviews discusses this proposition
and in doing so says:
ITO the state and local bosses of the
republican party, it has been very
much more important to keep in con-
troll of the machinery of the party
than to see that high-class success
scr to Governor Hughes should be
nominated and elected. Yet the great
body of republican voters in the state
of New York is composed of honest
men, and the kind of administration
given to the state by Governor
Hughes is a thing that hundreds Of
thousands of republicans believe IN
and desire. These honest and we'll
meaning republicans are in a large
majority and ought to be able to have
influence, and at important moments
they ought to control the action Of
their party. But, unfortunately, they
are busy men who have not found
it easy to make themselves felt as
against the professional politicians
Who run the caucuses and conven-
tons and who handle the money that
Is contributed from improper sourc-
es for selfish reasons. This Is why
Governor Hughes made his insistent
demand for direct primaries, and for
a method in general of enabling the
rank and file Of a party to have due
influence in the party's organization
and in its selection of candidates"
The criticism was intended solely
for a state that has not yet obtained
the direct primary system. AS a
matter of fact 1t applies also, though
with much less force, to a state that
has direct primary law.

marriage means the union of two
lives in all that concerns the human
spirit.
Is it any wonder that acute suffer-
ing falls on the woman as she enters
new fields while still possessed of
instincts of self-abnegation, the spir-
it of obedience to a superior will,
which she had always had? Her
strongest opponent to making a bril-
liant career for herself is the old
biological idea that she should stay
in her home.
Take the educational world. The
first step in women's education was
the finishing school, where she
was prepared properly to decorate a
drawing room. For 25 years higher
education has been the vogue until
men are now protesting against the
influx of women into the colleges.
You will find the vocational cours-
es crowded with men, and the cours-
es which deal with the cultivation of
life crowded with women. Men are
ashamed to come into the latter 1t
is the old sex spirit cropping out.
In the religious world it is the
same. Preachers are complaining
that the churches are filled with wo-
men. The men are absorbed with
business, which now has the same
relative importance that miltarism
formerly had, and are Indifferent to
the church.
In the industrial world which has
been thrown open to women we find
that women have gone into nursing,
medicine, fine arts. all of which deal
with the person. They are most sue
cessful in things that bring immedi-
ate personal approval. They are least
in the activities that take initiative
and involve a long period of waiting
before there is personal recognition
of achievement.

ENONERATES THE CAT.

Woods Hutchinson, we'll known
medical writer and formerly resi-
dent Of Oregon. smashes the old ira
dItion that cats sometimes suck the
breath of infants. In a recent issue
of success magazine he says:
The sole basis for this belief ap-
pears to be a few scattered instances
Of children having been found dead
in bed with a cat in the room. Inas-
r!uch as there are several rare con-
ditions which may produce sudden
death in young children, without pre-
vious warning, notably swelling of the
thymus gland, and cat is as much a
part of the ordinary furniture of most
houses as a chair, the relation be-
tween the death of child and the
presence of a cat is obviously no
more than could be accounted for as
a coincidence. Cats, like Mister
Casey" are "epicures in schlapin' -
and very fond or sort, warm beds, and
this may lead them to curl up in a
baby's crib. If the baby happens to
be very young or weak, or the cat
unusually heavy, and it should curl
up on the baby's chest, the child's
respiration might be seriously inter-
tered with. But unless the cat lay
right over its mouth and the baby
was so feeble, or so swathed or bound
down that it could neither cry out
nor get its arms loose, it is almost
inconceivable that any serious, let
alone, fatal, suffocation could occur"
DR.. Hutchinson exonerates the cat
from a long standing charge. Yet the
exoneration is not complete after all.

CHANGING.

In the olden days the solid south
stood against the protective tariff
system and the democratic party up
held states rights in preference to fed
eral control. 1t has already come to
pass that the south has Joined in
the clamor for protection for south
ern industries. Those who run the
iron and cotton mills of the south
want to increase their dividends by
keeping out foreign competition. The
pineapple growers of Florida are in
the same situation.
Now we have the republicans of
the west, or many of them at least,
clamoring for state conservation in
preference to federal control. They
want state control of the forest res
erves and state control of streams.
On the other hand some very con-
spicuous democratic leaders are for
the Roosevelt-Pinchot style of conser-
vation. They say the only effective
conservation is federal conservation.
These changing sentiments are fea-
tures of the gradual political realign-
ment that is underway.
