EUGENE'S AMBITION

~ HE Eugene Guard is very
W enthused over the large
number of robins on the
University of Oregon campus.
The Guard entertains vision
of an all-city aviary in Eu-
gene, believing it has suffi-
cient start to make such a re-
suit possible. But the first
step toward such an end, it in
sists, must consist in abolish
ing the cat from the city. mo
vast city aviary can be built up
so long as every household
harbors a cat. Yet for desira-
bility there can be no COM
parison between the SNUG
faced feline that carries dis
ease in its fur and over which
we make ourselves so unsani-
tary and the sweet voiced wild
life of the trees and bushes. >"

TAKE AFTER THE SHIP
COMBINE

n HERE are reports to the
VI effect the powerful firm
of j. P. Morgan & Co. is
interested in bearing down
wheat prices so that the allies
may obtain food at more reas-
enable figures.
If this is true why does not
this firm throw its influence
in behalf Of the ship purchase
measure or in behalf of some
other effort to break the hold
of the ship monopoly.
The high price England is
paying for wheat is not due to
hoggishness on the part of
the American farmer, so much
as to exorbitant charges for
carrying the wheat to England.
The farmer is now offered but
88 cents for wheat in Pendle-
ton. 1t is not as much as wheat
is honestly worth in view of the
shortage in the world supply.
Figuring charters at go
shiIlings, and some are higher,
the ship owner is exacting the
sum of 72 cents a bushel for
carrying wheat from Portland
to Liverpool. This is exclusive
of the insurance which is
borne by the purchaser.
In other words the ship
owner, without blowing, SOW
ing or harvesting, is making
more money out of the wheat
business than is the farmer.
Is Morgan & Co. doing any
thing to lower charters? Is
the influence of that firm aid
ing the administration with its
shipping bill? If so the facts
are not apparent. They seem
to think a man hoggish only
when he tries to make money
on a small scale. When he
gets it by the barrelful he is a
financier.

Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson.
eldest daughter of the president Of the
United States, is spending some weeks
at Chautauqua That she is making
good use of her time and talents, that
she observes what is going on in the
community about her, that she is de-
terInined, like her distinguished
father, to devote her life to the ad-
vancement Of the interests Of man
kind is evident
She is doing nothing at Chautauqua
to bring herself into the limelight; in
fact, is a very modest and common
sense kind Of American girl. Miss
Addie Williams, member Of The
Journal staff wrote Miss Wilson a few
days ago asking for an interview and
her opinion upon matters Of moment
to Chautaquans and others. In re-
sponse, while Miss Wilson declined,
because she did not care to open the
door to a host Of interviewers that
would seriously interfere with the
quiet and pleasure Of her vacation.
she authorized f. Ward, whose
guest she is at Chautauqua. to express
her appreciation Of some Of the things
that are being done in jamestown.
Mr. Ward writes:
MY Dear Miss Williams:
Miss Wilson has asked me to eX-
press her regret that she cannot ac-
cede 10 your request without unfair
ness to the others who have asked
for her time and attention.
she has. however. authorized me

sincere and earnest commendation Of

Many of our state exchanges are dis
cussing the question of labor organic
ing itself into unions. Most of them
agree that unions are all right "if they
are conducted on the right lines" and
then go ahead and tell labor how to run
the union. Some Of these papers even
specify the sort of men who should be
at the head of these bodies. If the
unions were run to suit most of those
who write about how they should be
conducted it would not be long before
the unions would be defunct. .'Stick

ly entertainment for an audience that
packed the house to the doors Tues
day evening a the Augusta Opera
house. The play was filed with fine
music and dancing and each of the
numbers rendered deserved the large
applause that it received.
High links receives its name from
magical perfume. which possesses
the amazing property of delivering at
once the ambrosia of life. happiness
And the humor of the play is depend
ent upon the wonderful effects Of this
perfume.
The plot deals with the innocent
mixing up Of wives and frances. The
flight of a doctor cursed by a duelling
F'renchman, whose wife the doctor has
kissed, changes the locale from Paris
to the seaside. Numerous compiled
tons arise, making the story typical
French farce.
The musical numbers of the play ov-
erfiow with haunting melodies. The
plot forms a thread on which are
strung such musical gems as, Some
thing Seems Tingle -lngle-Ing," Jim"
Loves Own Kiss" I'm Through with
Roaming Romeos,' and "DiXiana Rose"
The cast of principals was very good
and chorus of pretty girls, dressed in
beautiful costumes, lent splendid sup

chorus received much applause while
the fine staging of the play was thor
oughly appreciated by the Augusta au-
