PLACE IN THE sun FOR FATHER

(Chicago News.)
At last the titular head of the
household has been recognized. He
has long had 1t coming TO him.
Among the resolutions presented to
the Illinois congress Of mothers held
this week in Ottawa were number
deploring the extrayagances OF dress
INDUCED in by schoolgirls and recon-
mending that simpler attire be adopt
ed. In the furtherance of this laud-
able recommendation the heroic
mothers there assembled agreed that
precept must be accompanied by ex-
ample. Therefore they urged all
others 70 avoid extreme styles and to
work for simplicity.
A preamble to these resolutions set
forth that they were being promul-
gated for the benefit Of father 30
that he might have "the opportunity
to enjoy the full measure Of his priv
ilege and responsibility in regard to
his children"
It viii be noted that father Is thus
distinctly recognized as having priv
lleges. Heretofore he has reVeled
only in responsibility. Father would
do well TO accept his recognition at its
face value and delight himself in It,
bearing in mind that It is neither
wise nor polite TO look gift horse
IN the mouth. Besides, there may be
no Interior purpose behind these res
oiutions. II mother and daughter
wanted to save on the wardrobe in
order TO buy an automobile or make
a trip somewhere and back they
would say 80. or would they?
50 let father rejoice in the public
and official recognition he has won on
his merits from the duly constituted
mothers Of this great commonwealth,
not seeking to 30 behind the returns,
whatever It may cost him.

THE SEA SWEEPERS.
There was an old lady who swept

And she was as busy as busy could

We laughed to observe her industri-

But she kept at her task with a song

A neighbor Of hers gathered fabul-

He sought for repose, but the quest
was in vain.
He coveted fame with ambition sim

But for every good word came crit

In manner quite free,
"You are wasting your time as you

"Ho! Ho;" she made answer. You

ia 0W much the Portland
D Oregonian knows about
- the wool business is
shown by the following display
of editorial wisdom regarding
the present market:
1 Prices are low, except for
the choicest lots and they are
not high enough for the finest
grades to excite any great en-
thusiasm among the growers.
Last year the market was
good-so good indeed that the
heavy imports of raw wool
from Australia and elsewhere
appeared for a time not to be
having a serious effect"
The cold facts are that prices
paid for mixed and coarse
wool this season have been ap-
proximately so per cent higher
than the prices paid for the
same wool a year ago. One
large eastern Oregon clip that
sold at 10 cents last year was
recently sold at 27 cents.
This same advance has gen.
orally prevailed wherever
coarse wool has been sold. Ad-
vices recently received here
from Salt Lake showed a mil
lion pounds of Utah and Idaho
wool had been sold at prices
ranging from 26 to % cents. |
Last year it brought from II
to 19 cents.
Fine wool which the Ore
gonian ignorantly presumes to
be the most expensive brings
much less per pound than
coarse wool. The same was
true last year. Prices for fine
wool now range approximately |
the same as a year ago though |
some growers have been of
fered more for their fine wool
than they were given last sea-
son.
The deadlock over wool is
not due to the fact prices are
low but because they are not
as high as the growers believe
they should receive under
world market conditions. In
other words they fear the buy
ers are going to take the most
of the cream and leave the
growers less than their just
share.
If this is the purpose of the
woolbuyers they have a valu-

WHITMAN THE BI-PARTI-

~ OVERNOR WHITMAN Of
VI New York, concerning
whom for a time there
was presidential talk, seems to
be much the same sort of a BIZ
partisan as Barnes and Muir

Whitman is now being
fiercely grilled because of his
behavior toward four Tam

lie service commission of New
York. At the time Of his cleo
ton the commission was as
sailed for being subservient to
the corporations they were sup
posed to regulate.
At the present governors
instigation an investigation
was made and William Hay
ward, attorney and personal
friend of the governor was
chairman. The committee
brought in a fearless report
finding the public service COM
missioners guilty of "miscon-
duct, inefficiency and neglect
of duty"
After such a showing by in
vestigators of his own choosing
it was supposed the governor
would take quick action to cor
rect affairs. He has not done
so. On the other hand he has
supplanted a man who is cred
tied with having been the most
efficient on the commission,

TRAGIC WORK AND TRAG.

M OST recent reports Of
IU submarine operations
haNn dna1f With THAR

M OST recent reports of
JUR submarine operations
have dealt with their
successful use against merch-
ant vessels. With new victims
added daily to their list it can
not be denied that the German
submarine has proved effec-
tive as a warrior.
But there is another side to
the story and it tells Of the de-
IS struction of submarines
through the use of nets and in
other ways. According to news
from London a total of 81 Ger
man submarines have been
sunk since the beginning of the
war. A report from Copen-
hagen places the number at
IT.
Nets are being extensively
used by the English in trapping
undersea fighters. The U-29
with Captain Weddigin in CON-
mand was trapped by a net in
the Firth of Forth. In many
cases the English do not know
the actual results of their work
because the submarines are
sunk without their identity be-
coming known. Boat and crew
go to the bottom to remain for
ever. The world may not even
know anything has happened,
but when a submarine fails to-
return to its base after an al
lotted time there is usually but
one answer.
The submarine deals in trag.
edy and no fate could be more
tragic than the one that con-
stantly threatens the submarine
commander and his crew.

DIRECTUM IS FAST MILE IN 1::56a
GREAT PAGER BEATS MARK 0F MINOR HEIR; PETER MC ALSO;
 LIKEWISE PETER vOLO STARS

pirectum I got away to a splendid start on his phenomenal mile. Paced hY q running horse, the big chestnut pacer fairly leaped over the ground. reaching the half mile mark in 5S1a seconds.
 Captain Shaw. the oldest driver in America. sent Peter Me away under ptrfect motion and not the slightest semblance of a break marred this per formance.
 Peter NoIo'S record breaking feat was less spectacular than that of Di- rectum and Peter Me. Reaching the half way mark in 1:041a the big brown trotter was forced to go at a better than a two minute clip for the remain der distance to equal his mark.
 While the exhibitions attracted un- usual interest the series of five profes- sional races were keenly contested, with the exception of the $1O,000 Elm pire state stake. which Peter Scott, with Murphy driving, won in straight heats.

AMERICAN MARRIAGES

The American woman is proud and has a, high standard in marriage. She is perhaps not wholly pitiful. but the young are never that, and she is the daughter of a young land. She demands much of marriage and, when it fails her, is apt to forego it. Hence the high divorce rate. She does not compromise easily again the quality of a youthful race. She is over confident perhaps, of her abi- lity to wrest the best from life even at the cost of bruises.
 But what is the net result of this refusal to accept the second best? What is the status of marriage in America? Unhesitatingly I say that nowhere it is held more highly and nowhere does it better deserve to be so held. The American middle class marriage made young betwen people of the same class, often educated at the same school, with college training behind them and honest ann bition before, is, I believe, the finest in the world today
 have been into scores of Ameri- can homes of this type, where l have found absolute mental comradeship between the couples, and fine and sane love. Here is no. race suicide, but houses built with special thought for the little occupants. and money saved before marriage to meet the emergency of their birth. Often the wife earns. too, part of the time so that the children may have better surroundings. Time is made by the father for hours with his family He would rather succeed" more slowly than deny himself and them their common life.
 In such homes. based upon enlight ened cOmradeship and wise sharing Of burdens, have usually found both partners feminists. Often the husband has taught the wife her lo.e of the movement, and always the cause has seemed to them the call of a wider duty, the dream of d higher and more perfect citizenship.

SENIOR FLAG GRACES
 COYOTES FLAG POLE
Well Creased Shaft Bears Numerals '16'' for All Juniors to See; May Be Attempt to Haul
 It Down

At daybreak this morning a senicr flag will be found flying at the very top of the flagpole on the high school campus The pole is well greased and ii will be extremely hard to take it down.
 The Seniors want it understood that having been there for four years and also having won the class rush last year they are masters of the whole school and they are after the scalps of all Juniors who dispute this auth,sity.
 Of course the Juniors might not stand for this very long and there will probably be a big fight on to- morrow night. and chances are the Senior flag might come down. but the Seniors have a different idea.
 Last year. the pole was graced- or disgraccd, as some hold-hy flag imposed on it by the then Juniors. now the graduating class. As re- suit of this pernicious activity, number of radical things occurred. particularly, the exposure of several young persons to the cooliSh air of autumn. Should there be a rereti- ton of the B.
