would be to face a foreign foe
with such forces in the front
But talk of the guard being
injured by the border service is
piffle. The border service is
the best thing that could have
happened to the guard. A few
months service on the border
under real service conditions is
worth more to militiamen, Off
GERS or enlisted men, than
would be five years armory
experience at home.
If there is anything fatally
wrong with the national guard
it may have been disclosed by
the border service, but it was
not produced by this service.

NOT A WATER DOG,

But Bottles Are Found Unopened,
Which Make Thefts by Animals
Mysterious.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2o.-"Hello!
This is Newton, n. j., I've got a pref
ty good little dog stOry-somfthing
out of the usual. Do you hear me?
Well. H. ]. Stone, living on LoVeland
street, about six miles from here
owns a big bulldog, which has been
family pet several years. Recently
the animal refused to eat in the house
and Mr.. Stone became worried. No
matter what was offered to the dog
he'd refuse 1t.
"Mr Stone noticed the dog would
leave the house in the morning for
about an hour and in the afternoon
for about the same time. He decided
to follow the dog today. The trail led
to pile Of bones and two bottles oi
beer
What is that? No; the bottles
weren't opened.
"Well, it seems the dog was born
a thief and couldn't resist temptation
He'd rather steal his food than come
by 1t honestly.
What? No; nobody in the neigh
| borhood claimed the beer.

ment with the council that we have
any jurisdiction over the productions
at the oregon theater. If 1t is the
wish of your honorable body that We
exercise such authority, We will be
glad to do so. The task imposed up
on us is no light one: it requires much
of our time and patience and we are
constantly open to criticism. but we
are doing the best we can TO protect
the public and especially the children
from demoralizing pictures and enter

continued cooperation of the city

amendment to the constitution of the

the colleges of California, oregon AMI
Washington, bringing the numbers
of sections up to nine. At present coll
leges Of those states are grouped
with those of Montana, Wyoming

TWO NATIONS STRIKE A
BARGAIN

AAAITH women welding the
# ballot for the first time,
the referendum in Den
mark on the sale of the Danish
West Indies to the United
States resulted in vote of al
most two to one in favor of the
proposition. This probably
will be conclusive. The United
States senate ratified the treaty
last September. 1t only re-
mains now for the American
congress to appropriate the
S25,000,000 agreed upon and
for the Copenhagen govern
ment to provide for the formal
transfer of sovereignty.
Negotiations for the acquisi-
ton of the islands began more
than fifty years ago, and have
always been conducted on our
part with the highest regard
for the sensibilities of the Dan
ish people. Except on the Oc-
casion when Germany inter
fered, there has been but one
argument in Denmark against
the sale, and that was on the
point of national pride. The
plebiscite just held settles that
matter practically and wisely
at first hand.
BY this transaction a power
| full nation and a small nation,
with scrupulous regard for the
interests of the West Indians
| involved, who favor the Ameri-
can connection. have shown
how reason and economic con-
ditions may take the place of
force even in the transfer of
territory. For liberal compen-
sation, Denmark relinquishes
distant islands that have be-
come a burden. We acquire in
st. Thomas one of the finest
harbors in the world, which in
possession of an unfriendly
power would be a serious men
ace not only to the Panama Ca.
nal but to our own coasts.
At a time when most of the
civilized world is reeking with
blood, an achievement of this
kind, honorable and profitable
to all concerned in it, ought tC
have some weight as an ex.

NOT IN OUR CLASS

0DVISING against worry
" the department of public
=" health says in a bulletin: /:
so far as is known no bird
ever tried to build more nests
than its neighbors; no fox ever
fretted because he had only one
hole in which to hide; no squir-
rel ever died of anxiety lest he
should not lay by enough nuts
for two winters instead of one,
and no dog ever lost any sleep
over the fact that he did not
have enough bones laid aside
for his declining years"
But who would want to live
like a fox, or a bird or dog?
