BRYAN and the Brewers.

Grape juice diplomacy is in trouble
over the temperance question. Charles
Vopica has been selected to be the
new minister to the Balkan States. Mr..
Vopica resides in Chicago, where he is
president of brewing company. He is
very fine man. He not only does not
drink his own product. but he refuses
To have liquors of any kind in his
house. Nevertheless, the National Anti
Saloon League and the National Inter
church Federation, with eleven million
members, are after Mr.. Vopica. A pro-
test against his appointment already
has been filed with the State Depart
ment by the Illinois branch of the Anti
Saloon League, while Rev. f. c. Din
widdie, legislative secretary of the An
ti-Saloon League, declares that if Sec
rotary Bryan does not withdraw his
recommendation of Mr.. Vopica the or
gan1zed temperance element of the
whole United States will be brought to
bear on the Senate to defeat confirma-
ton. The temperance people have Moth
ing against Mr.. Vopica personally but
they cannot understand how the chief
apostle of Grape Juice Diplomacy can

Referendum As an Evil Tool.

"Trouble with the referendum, is
the West as to be a regular feature
in the news-and they publish quite
some papers out there, you may be-
lieve. As Maine is having an "expe-
rience" with the referendum-not
much trouble about it-perhaps some
of our readers who are familiar with
the recent procedure of Mr. w. r.
Pattangall, the Lewiston Journal, and
their cohorts, to hold up the public
utilities law, may be interested in the
following from the Portland Oregon
ian:
If the people of Oregon, or their
representatives in the Legislature, re-
fuse or neglect longer to put proper
safeguards around the initiative and
referendum the Legislature will be
justified in adding an emergency
clause to every bill upon which there
is reason to believe referendum may
be invoked The compensation bill
passed by the Legislature in response
to well-nigh universal demand. af-
fords the latest and most fiagrant in
stance of the abuse of the referendum.
The petitions are in their essence fic-
titious or forged. They represent no
real call or desire of the people. They
are manufactured purely out of the
desire of some cowardly and unknown
interest to hold up the bill. They
represent only the purposes of some
sneaking, underground group to break
down proper legislation, and they IL
lustrate the possibilities of mischief
and ruin to be wrought by purchas-
able men through the corrupt bust
ness of petition-faking.
1t is intolerable that the public
should not be informed as to the NOV
ing forces behind the compensation
act referendum. 1t is dangerous that
men should be permitted for con-
sideration from hidden employers to
invoke the formal machinery of ref
erendum. 1t is criminal that one name
should be held to be as good as an
other for the uses of referendum petit
ton and that the drones, loafers, non
descripts and vagabonds of the north
END and the idlers and straglers of
the parks and streets should be en-
ployed in this manner to represent the
win of the people of Oregon.
1t the referendum is to be devoted
only to destructive or selfish ends who
will care soon what becomes of it?

Further, the editorial page is not a
mere department in which the anony-
nous writer drops a daily contribu-
ton, although that is the popular,
mistaken impression. The newspaper
must have its policy; 1t must train ITS
staff to work together in the harmon
ious carrying out of its principles ana
the course it decides upon. An EDUC
rial may be the work of large coun-
ell; it may be the product of several
writer's; it is seldom printed as origin
ally written. Thus, when understood,
it becomes not the work of an anony-
nous writer. but the expression or a
modern institution such as a news
paper has become,
The legislators are beginning to pay
a tribute to the newspapers by quot
ing so many editorials They do TINS
not for the love Of the press, but be-
cause the, editorial pa sc of the day
puts in the most exact and concrefe
form statements of fact and OPINION
1t means, ALSO that the editorial page
has recovered its old force and au-
|thority. and that journalism has left
its yellow path and is seeking the
higher levels of usefulness and re-
sponsibility. Today every newspaper
that is gaining Is constructive in It's
methods, and there is not news
paper of standing in America that IS
not devoting larger attention to It's

Whew!

| That old eggs are really the best and
that no one should scorn the delicate
/, hen fruit because it happens to be
a few years of age, or even old enough
to vote, is the surprising testimony
just rendered by an expert witness
in a hearing now going on to deter
mine the status of 400 cans of fro
zen eggs seized by the government
three years ago. The witness testit
fed that these aged eggs were peri
fectlv wholesome and as evidence told
of feeding them to his family and
workers in his laboratory without any
i'll effects When the health sharps at
the hearing seemed incredulous the
expert explained that to keep eggs for
a few years is really nothing COM
pared to the feats of the Chinese, who
preserve them for indefinite periods
He recalled that when Ii Hung Chang
visited America he brought with him
eggs a hundred years old because
enough to suit his palate. While the
eggs have been ripening in storage
in Jersey City the Federal Courts have
been wrestling with the problem of
their fitness for food.
Judge Gross of the United States
District Court decided that the Gov
eminent had not proved its case
against the eggs. He was reversed
by the Circuit Court of Appeals whose
judgment was in turn set aside by
the Supreme Court of the United
States on the ground that it was with
out Jurisdiction. All that now stands
between the eggs and the public is the
want of an order of the state board
of health releasing them from stor-
age. As the latest reports show that
the cold storage eggs on hand in the
United States amount to over $1,000
600 dozen, this case has attracted par
ticular attention for more reasons
than one

Editorial Comment
Importance of Newspaper Editorials

Philadelphia Public Ledger)s
senator Works of California insert
ed IN the Congressional Record an ed
ltorlal OF tWenty-four lines from
Los Angeles newspaper. Thereupon
ensued debate which fills several Scol-
umhs OF the Record, which cost the
tax PAYERS thousands of dollars and
accomplished no useful purpose.
Senator Brandegee objected to the
practice, and added: "A reason why
DO not think editorials should be in
Guided in the Record is that they are
always anonymous; nobody knows
who writes Them nobody is RESPONSE
bic fer them. If any senator wants
10 combat an argument raised by an
editorial, he must stand up here and
rebate the question with some anon
ymous person out of his reach and
out OF his knowledge and be answered
in the newspaper. The newspaper
having the last say, and not being
SUBJECT to the rules of parliamentary
depate which prevail in the senate,
mas an unfair advantage in such a
discussion, even If a senator wanted
10 continue the controversy" This
statement is interesting as rejecting
a popular error.
] Ten years ago. when sensational
Journalism threatened to sweep away
everything sane and conservative,
there was an idea that the editorial
page was the most unnecessary part
OF newspaper There are even per-
sons who forget that the important
part OF the human being is the heart or
soul A newspaper without its edito-
rial page is simply framework with
out the vital touch with the great
movements and thoughts of the times.

Mrs. Dorcas w. Nutter, the mother
of 10 children, who worked in tho
York Mills in 1885 for 60 cents a week
or 10 cents day, informally cele-
brated her 91st birthday, recently
at the home of her daughter Mrs
Georgia Macomber, 80 Spring street,
Saso, with whom she has lived since
the death of her husband some years
ago. Mrs. Nutter was born in Grove
Vile. near Portland. July 1922 The
first school she went to was kept by
Samuel Eden of Buxton. the young
est pupil being five and the oldest %.
In 1885 she came here and secured
employment in the plant of the York
manufacturing company which was
then in its infancy. At that time less
than 300 hands were employed, while
today the number is about 5000
There were no labor unions and in
spite of the fact that she and the 9TH
er spoilers received but so cents a
week there were few strikes. The
corporation boarded the mill girls in
the big corporation boarding house
which has long since been torn dow
to make way for new mills. The
board. Mrs. Nutter admits was nothing
to brag about. They had broth and
water, 'applesass," and bread and
butter for supper. They had mea.
/, and fish sometimes for dinner but il
was served in such small quantities
that none of the factory hands ever
suffered from acute indigestion.

How many boys nine years of age
are able to ride behind an animal
which they have trained themselves?
There is one at least who can, Har-
ry NJ. Corey of East Skowhegan.
Harry is a young farmer. He has al
ways loved animals and has had pa
thence in working with them. A year
and half ago, when he was only
seven years old. there was a little
heifer born on his grandfathers farm.
He decided that he would like to own
this. and train it as he had seen his
grandfather train colts. 1t was NOT
an altogether easy task that he had
undertaken, but he kept at it faith
fully, and the reward he feels is well
worth the effort. He has a team
which is the envy of every boy and
girl who sees it. 1t is now a play
thing as is dog after it has been
trained to haul cart, but this heifer
carries his master to school either in
a wagon or saddle back. In vacation
time, he takes the children for rides
During the berry season Mrs. Corey
and Harry may be seen returning
from the fields behind the heifer
with loaded baskets. If in future
years this young man is as faithful in
his tasks as he was in this one. he
will be the successful farmer that he
, hopes to be.
