A Sight at the Surface of Timely Topics

Bell Wright containing but two characterize man
and woman-the author writes in ntrospect thot,
as the title of the book implies. His two characters
return to the past; it is sort of review of what
might have been." Like all of Harold Bell
Wright's works, the pages literally crowded
with truths of life.
In the first chapter, the author depicts his
characters finding Their Yesterdays" the Thirteen
Truly Great Things of Life. These are Dreams,
Occupation, knowledge. Ignorance, Religion, Tradi-
ton, Temptation Life, Death, Failure, Success,
Love and Memories.
The sequence is perfect. Each of The Thirteen
Things catalogued in the proper place. study of
the development of ourselves will prove interesting,
and will establish the correctness by comparison.
The Fourth Thing Ignorance may not appear to be
in the proper place at first thot AS matter of fact
Ignorance naturally follows knowledge, because
with the attainment of the latter, discover Ignor-
Temptation is truly one of The Great Things.
Without it could not experience Life. for the
real life makes itself apparent after we have
countered Temptation. Death is shown following
Life. This is the Death of sin. false ambition.
Then we enter period of Failure With strength
aud right we gain the citadel of Success and here
are at home with Love and Memories. A perfect
chronology OF life.
An amusing incident the political relations
of two prominent Iowans happened the other day.
At a banquet, which opened the campaign for
college funds in thriving Iowa town, the principal
speaker the future Governor of the State, who,
during the course of his speech declared that the
glorious state of etc., etc." must inaugurate and
forever maintain good roads, as well keep the
state dry.
The Lieutenant Governor of the opposition
party Immediately challenged the future Governor
bring the atters party up the standards of the
Lieutenant Governors following, on the issues
toned. The implication is apparent. No counter
retort is recorded.
If the spirit of party rivalry exists in the
Legislature and the Senate evidenced at the
college banquet, the next session should be profit
able, to say nothing of interesting. one to the
porters. Profitable for the space writers, who will
write articles to meet the views of the party infu-
encing their papers. Interesting. because of their
knowledge Of inside" plays, not made public, but
which guides and finally decides the issues stake

Have just finished reading Kit Marlowe's Ed

the play fore-shadowing Shakespeare. Edward
The Second" is far better play than any of Shake
speares earlier works; there are passages in it of
poetry to equal anything Shakespeare ever wrote.
The in Killingswor,h Castle Act V,
where Edward resigns the crown of England is
great tragedy. In this Edward has more than
one hundred and twenty-five lines to speak; piece
of sustained dialogue hardly equaled in all English
literature.

great poets Had he too lived to be fifty it is to be
doubted that Shakespeare would now hold unds-

her the medium of all this vicarious counting?

The Chinese pheasants i'm Umatilla

Hospital the grounds of which con-
stitute a game refuge, large numbers
Of pheasants come in each day to be
fed with the chickens and quite 4
number of farmers have reported see
ing the birds gathered in their farm
yards or about haystacks seeking
such food as they can find in the
snow. Some farmers have already
taken to throwing out feed for them
and the sportsmen are urging all 9TH
ers to join in helping to protect these
birds during the cold weather.
The pheasants in the Willamette
valley find plenty of cover during the
cold weather but cover is not plenti
ful In eastern Oregon. The China
pheasant does not fly in cold wealth
or and is in danger of freezing with
out cover,
Other birds are also in need OF
feed during the cold weather and
many local residents are daily throw

greedily picked up by robins, spar

Mercury Goes Down
to Six Below Here

Last night, or rather last evening
saw the mercury swing lower in Pen
dleton than It has for four years. Six
below zero was the minimum reach
ed and that point was reached about
r o'clock last evening. After that
hour the temperature rose several de-
grees and at s was only two below
This morning at 1t was above zero.
The rise in temperature during the
night was caused by the clouding
over Of the skies. Had the skies re-
NAMED clear, the coldest snap In
many years would probably have been
recorded. During the early morning,
snow began falling again and It con-
tlnued until after 10 o'clock, about
two inches in all falling. This after
noon another light snow began.

their victims clothing, the bandits
marched them to ravine and
slaughtered them.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.--Indigna-
ton swept official circles with word
Of the Mexican slaughter. Prompt
action for redress and to prevent any
repetition Of the incident has been
started by Wilson and Lansing. Nor
thern Mexico consuls are ordered to
report the details The United States
will hold Carranza responsible.
The British embassy inquired re-
garding the Englishmen involved in
the massacre and it is expected Eng
land will protest The state depart.
rnent expects Carranza to promptly
dispatch troops to seek the murderers
and protect other Americans.
Ell PASO, Jan. 12.-In helpless
rage the city awaited today the ar
rival Of the train bearing the eighteen
bullet-riddled bodies. Apparently
nothing has been done officially to-
ward avenging the massacre. A spir-
it of bitterness toward the Wilson ad-
ministration is apparent on everv
hand The fact that villa and is men
were at LaJunta two days ago streng-
thened the belief that villa personal
ly commanded the bandits
A special train chartered to bear
the bodies will arrive late tonight.
Hundreds Of protests have been wired
to Washington demanding immediate
action to effectively safeguard Amer
leans in Mexico. The Guggenheim in
terests have practically decided to
withdraw their employees and close
their Mexican mines.
Further details of the massacre
we're not obtainable because OF a strict
censorship. 1t was reported General
TTevino sent an expedition to pursue
the bandits. but the latter have two
days start and are believed safe in
the mountains.
Villa is known to have harbored a
bitter hatred Of Americans since Car
rama has been recognized. Authori-
ties think he bided his time for just
such an opportunity to whet his
thirst for revenge

PARIS, Jan. 12.-With a reckless
disregard for life the Germans sac
rlficed 25,0OO men Sunday in an Of
fensive in the Champagne Chalons
dispatches described it as the bloodi-
est fighting since September. Ger
man wounded prisoners confirmed
the story that Won Einem planned to
bend the allied front at Rheims and
Nerdun. The German artillery failed
and instead Of silencing the French
batteries, merely wrecked portions of
advanced trenches and gave the
French time to get reserves.
