operated as drawback But this which has been char

PRESS COMMENT.
In Their Abundance.

NPortland JOurnal)
The price of wool continues to climb.
Sales at Shaniko Thursday totaled
1,032,296 pounds and prices ranged from
16A to 2oM cents.
Among the sales were Thomas Bro
gan over $4,000 pounds at 1914 cents;
L. l.. Jones. $4,000 at 1871; E. McLen-
nan, 1900 at 1917: Hilton and Burgess,
$4,000 at 18; M. j. Finlayson, $4,000 at
II; J. r. Hinton, 10000 at 1s%; r. c..
Brock, 1900 at 1914; J. w. Fisher. 49,
900 at 20h, and many others in which
the lowest price was 16A cents and the
highest 20h cents.
The advance in prices over last year
is illustrated by the following news
dispatch printed in the Journal in June,
1913:
"Heppner, June 3.--At the wool sales
here today, about 100000 pounds had
ben sold up to noon, bringing from 12A
to 14% cents. Only a few of the
choicest clips brought better than 1917
There will be offered this afternoon
about 100000 pounds. Growers are
very much dissatisfied with the bids,
but see nothing in the near future that
warrants holding for better prices"
Between the top price in the Heppner
sale of year ago and the Shaniko sale
last Thursday, there was a difference
of ia cents. At the Condor sales last
year, there was a similar difference in
price. The following news dispatch
from the Journal of June 20, 1913, tells
of wool sales that day:
Condor, June 20.-At the wool sales
here yesterday. the prices ranged from
10M to 14% cents, although one choice
lot was sold for lie cents. Practically
100000 pounds were sold"

The Eve7u,,g Ch;t-Chat

IN his youth Seneca was a vege-
tartan and water drinker. but
his father checked his indul-
\ i gence in ascetism."
This rather startling sentence
leaped out at me from page of bio
graphy which l was reading the other
day. Indulgence In ascetism" Is a
new thought to some of us.
Ascetism is the opposite of self in
diligence. According to the dictionary
it means rigid self denial" which is
to say that Seneca INDUCED In the op-
posite of indulgence to such an extent
that his father felt obliged to check
him.
When any tendency, however good in
itself. takes possession of man and
warps his life, 1t becomes bad.
Caution is a good thing, yet l know
a woman whose life 1t has almost
wrecked. She is naturally of an ex-
tremely cautious temperament and she
has INDUCED herself in it until caution
has become an obsession to her. When
she goes out of the house she cannot
shut a door, lock 1t and leave it; she
must go back and try It to make sure
1t was locked. With a thousand need
less little cares of this sort she fritz
ters away precious time and wears out
herself and everyone about her.
Pride Is vice and humility Is a vir-
tue Yet is 1t not possible to indulge
oneself in humility to such an extent
that check is needed? | think 1t is.
In fact, 1 know a girl who would be
much pleasanter companion for her.
self and everyone else If she had been
checked In her habit of self deprecia-
ton in her childhood. She is always
running herself down. The result is
that those people who think her sim
cere take her at her own needlessly
low estimate, and those who do not are
bored and repealed by what seems to
them a pose. Personally, believe her
humility Is genuine, but 1t is carried
to an absurd extreme, and it loses her
much happiness.
! Even unselfishness, the greatest of
all virtues and foster parent of them
all, may lean to failng's side when
it is made an indulgence. We all know
the mother who Is so excessively I'M
selfish that she never gives her chill
dren a chance to learn the happiness
of self sacrifice. If 1t is more blessed
to give than to receive, has not un-
selfishness turned selfish when 1t keeps
this greater blessing all to itself?

The Republican Party-Penross, For
a<er, Et Al.

(From the New York TribuEe)
The Republican party is In minor
ity. 1t went two years ago to the most
crushing defeat 1t ever suffered under
the leadership of men whose ideas and
methods 1t had outgrown. More than
half its members deserted 1t because
they were tired Of bossism and stand
patism.
What will 1t benefit the Republican
party to recall to power the incompe-
tents and reactionaries who wrecked
the Taft administration The success
Of Penrose in Pennsylvania through
the cowardly acquiscence Of respect
able Republicans will prompt other
exiles-exiled for the party's good-to
clamor for recognition. Ex-senator
Joseph B. Foraker has been inspired to
announce that he is a candidate for the
Republican senatorial nomination In
Ohio. Why shouldn't he be vindicated
IL Penrose is to be? Both are tarred
with the same stick. Both are ear
nest oil barrel statesmen.
And If Penrose, Foraker ct al, APP
pear again at Washington as accred-
tied Republicans leaders, what hope
will there ever be of attracting to and
holding In the Republican ranks those
who believe that the party's mission
should be one of public service and
progress
Colonel Roosevelt has just returned
from South America and expects to
give his attention this fall to a revival
Of the Progressive movement Moth
ing could play more directly into his
hands than the nomination of men like
Penrose and Foraker on Republican
tickets. Even Pennsylvanians who
want to hide their heads in the sand
and vote for Penrose as a protest
against the Wilson administration
ought to realize that they are blocking
their own game. They are contribute
ing to keep Republicanism on the de-
fensive. Men with records like PEN
roses are always on the defensive.
A clean, aggressive party is the only
kind of party that can win In this
country under present conditions. If
the Republican party is to meet that
test 1t must cut loose from the undesir-
ables who crippled 1t and robbed it of
popularity. The defeat Of Penrose,
Foraker and all of their kind is neces-
fsary this year IL Republication is to
come into Its own again two years
from now.

~ NOE upon a time two sparrows
y met in certain back yard and
decided to fight.
They always fight, you sayf
Yes, they do. that's true. F
But this fight was different because
you could see what they were fighting
about--usually you can't.
And it all happened this way.
In house nearby lived little boy
who was very fond of birds. He liked
to watch them fly about; he liked TO
watch them eat, and above all he liked
TO watch them make their nests.
Now, one day this little boys
mother read in paper that the way
to draw birds to ones neighborhood
was to throw food into the yard for
them.
That seemed very sensible idea, for
of course the birds have to eat an0
equally of course it is very hard to
find good food in late, cold spring.
The little boy remembered the robins
and the brilliant cardinal who some
times darted through the yard, and he
decided at once to do his part toward
feeding these birds. He foraged in his
mothers bread box: found some very

notice of the feast spread for them.
The little boy waited in vain.
Finally, when he was quite tired of
watching, he heard whirr of wings
in nearby tree and two little spar
rows darted down to the crumbs

said the little boy, with a sigh. Il
