WORK ONE DAY EXTRA
LEGISLATURE FORCED TO WHEN
BOND BILL HANGS
House Ahead of Senate in Work-Nt
Working Majority in Upper Body;
Lobbyists Also Blamed.

Diy OF oregon are one day late, TIN
year, in returning to the bosom O
their constituents. The immediat
cause of the extra day without pay
was the blocking of the $6,00O,00l
road bond bill in the senate Saturday

agreed to adjourn until 1890 a. m
Monday.
The prolongation of the session may
be traced to a number of other caus.
es, however. Men who have watched
legislatures come and go for many
years remark that this is the first
time within their recollection that in
the course of 40 days, 16 or more OF
the 80 men, constituting the senate,
have not gravitated together as a
working majority. There is practi-
cally no floor organization in the up
per body.
Lobbyists have been even more in
evidence than ever this session. There
has been an unprecedented amount of
interference from special interests
and individuals who have seemed to
imagine that they we're specially en-
aowed leaders and circles of public
opinion.
The 100 or more bills left over on
the calendar may cause some to think
that much important Legislation still
awaited action. AS matter of fact,
the two houses had passed nearly all
their measures Of Importance. Indeed,
all that was needed to round out .
record for real efficiency was adoption
of the $6,000,000 road bonding meas
ure.
Among the bills passed are dozen
that may be considered constructive,
but they are constructive only in the
sense that they benefit particular lineA
of industry or particular phases OF
Irrigation has been aided with need
ID code amendments; the insurance
.ode has passed; the military code has
been brought into conformity with
federal enactments; the grain stan
lard has been adopted; the bill to en-
'orce the bone-dry law has been hon
stly drafted and passed; rural school
erms have been heightened; streams
rave been opened to logging; needed
'evision in the Highway commission
aw has been provided; cut-throat
in public utilities has
,een prevented by passage of the GER
iicate of public convenience bill;
fertilization act has passed and the
law has been strength

The rest of the legislation, for the
most part, was of minor Importance
nd of local interest. A poem from

of the best worlds series bets. are go
ing to line up when the time comes
for the push off in rluch the same man
ner as they finished year ago.
There is just one question of real
Importance in the Yankee camp. A
guardian has not been picked for sec

ball players who will go right up to
the seasons opening with their eyes
on the station.
Joe Cedeon, late of the Salt Lake
City, Pacific Coast league, made pitt
full effort year ago to hold down the
Job, but he was sadly handicapped by
worry and illness and didn't do a very
heavy job when the season got under
way. He's back again this year and
reports say he is doing better.

also can play first base. Tim Hendryx
is such an excellent outfielder that he
can fill in very well in center field.
This much is certain: The Yankees
will not win the 1917 pennant if they
have a weak spot at second base. There
are too many good baseball clubs IN
the American league.
DONOVAN ON THE BENCH.
Manager Donovan will be allowed to
sit on the bench in uniform this year
without being counted in the player
limit, so room is opened for an addi
tional man. This man. it appears, from
all indications, will be Bill Piercy, who
comes from the Pacific Coast league
with a good pitching record. He had
a chance year ago, but was sent back
for further conditioning.

trouble. An infield is left over that

It is not surprising to find rubber tire industry

THINK FOR YOURSELF.-In our
daily walks in life we find that we
are impeded by various problems
which are more or less difficult to
gTapple. In each instance we either
resort to some precedent and solve
the problem that way-in reality we,
ourselves, have really solved nothing,
for we have done what others did
or we act according to some con-
vention and get out Of it that way.
We very seldom use our own initia-
tive, our own original methods, at
solving anything. And as years go
by we become less and less self-rela-
BILE. We do not think for ourselves,
but go on in life with a vague hope Of
something arising from nowhere and
leading US out Of our difficulty, as
helpless children are led.
Yes, as time goes on we are
wrapped, more and more, in these
blankets Of conventionality and de-
pendence. We are more and more
netted in this intricate network of
heIplessness, that we soon lose our
individuality and become no longer
ourselves, but parrots, yes, echoes
of those who think, and become vic
TINS and prey to those Of clearer
vision.
Come on, fellowmen, awake!
Throw aside those almost impreg-
nable wraps which keep you, your
real self, a prisoner in their dungeon.
Make a fight! Use the best that is
in you in tearing yourself free from
this network which keeps you in
slavery. Resolve to be yourself Act
upon your own responsibility. Throw
convention and superstition away
and be free.

that made life worth living; men

ANTILLES WAS CRACK
COAST LINER ON NEW


~ ORLEANS.N. Y. RUN
New York, Oct. 20.-The Antilles, q
freight and passenger steamship OF
6,S7S tons gross, owned by the South
ern Pacific Steamship company (Mor
gan line)- was one of the crack Amer
lean coast liners. She piled between
New Orleans and New York and had
carried thousands of persons to the
Mardi Gras celebration in the south
ern city. The vessel was taken over
by the government: as transport
early in the war.
Captain H. F.. Boyd, master Of the
Antilles, retained his command when
the vessel entered the, government
service, as did mos. 0: mis- officers.
The crew as recruited by the quarter.
masters department included many
of the men who had served on the
steamship when she was in the mer.
chant service. The Antilles was built
by the Cramps at Philadelphia in 1907
she was 421 feet long with beam
of SO feet and depth of 81 feet.
The Antilles was withdrawn from
the coastwise trade temporarily in
September, 1914, to make a trip to
Genoa, Italy, to bring home about 400
Americans who had been stranded in
Europe at the outbreak of hostilities,
with whom she arrived in New York
on Sept. rs.
