((T WING up 20
the teapot" is
a by-word in
a family that we know
of.
It's source was the in
cident of the presenta-
tion of an extremely
handsome teapot to a
newly-married couple
of artistic tastes.
"How beautiful eX-
claimed the enthusias-
tic young hu b n d,
stepping back to ad-
mire it.
eyes, how beauti-
full" sighed the bride,
with clasped hands and
her head dropped on
one side for a new view
Of { h e treasure.
George, dear, do you
suppose we can live up
to it?"
ONE of the very best
~ reasons why fam
lilies should fill their
houses with all the
handsome dignifed
furniture that they can
afford, is that uncon-
sciously we all live up
or down to our sur
roundings.
Depend upon it, the
things you see every
time you look around
you have a deal to do
with your feelings and
outlook on life. Tat
tered or threadbare
furnishings around the
house are not the most
inspiring.
We do not say this
because we have two
lots of new, extra fine
furniture to sell in the
Sale that started yes
terday. We know our
goods and their worthi-
ness at the prices, and
we have neither doubt
nor misgivings as to
how they are going to
sell.
We are already sell
ing them fast and will
continue to sell them,
but the question is
whether anyone can af-
ford not to see them
who can afford to buy
furniture at all.
And many persons
who may feel, perhaps
rightly, that they can
not afford at all to buy
ordinary furniture
will realize, once they
see what is in this Sale
that they cannot afford
not to buy extraordi
nary furniture, every
piece of which repre-
sents an investment, al
below-ordinary prices
Fullest comfort il
] living, quiet satisfac
ton of the craving FOL
beauty which lies deeI
in that much-abuse(
thing called human ma
ture-these are goot
for both body and soul
And sometimes a lit
tie saving and manag
ing, or sacrificing o
trivial self-indulgenceS
for the sake of gettinl
the right kind of thing
around one, are goo
for body and soul.

resources and strengthening
democracy in its world strug-
gle against autocracy.
President Wilson at the same
time, in a message to the demo-
cracy of New Jersey, was Civ
ing lofty expression to the spirit
in which this nation should ap-
|proach all proposals for social
justice.
"The days of political and
economic reconstruction which
are ahead of US no man can
now definitely assess, +" he said.
"But we know this, that every
program must be shot through
and through with utter disin-
terestedness; that no party
must try to serve itself, but
every party must try to serve
humanity, and that the task is
a very practical one, meaning
that every program, every
measure in every program,
must be tested by this ques-
ton, and this question only: Is
lit just; is it for the benefit of
the average man, without influ-
ence or privilege; does it en-
body in real fact the highest
conception of social justice and
of right dealing without re-
spect of person or class or par
ticular interest? This is a high
test. 1t can be met only by
those who have genuine SYM
pathy with the mass of men
and real insight into their
needs and opportunities, and a
purpose which is purged alike
of selfish and of partisan in
tention."

GETTING AT THE SOURCE

~ ANY people who have
TUk longed. to see the al
lied naval forces get in
touch with the enemy rejoice
at the exploits at Ostend and
Zeebrugge. BY daring work we
have inflicted much harm to
the nests from which swarm
the submarines. The work
may not be over. If by taking
the initiative in this manner
the allies can thwart the u
boat menace "at its source" a
big step towards winning the
war will be accomplished. 1t
is a step that will be as pleasing
to America as to the allies be-
cause this country will be US
ing the seas very heavily in
troops to the fighting
zone and the safer their path
way can be made the better.

1873 AND 1918

~ HE feature of the present
VI war that is peculiarly
American is the way in
which the instrumentalities of
business have been placed at
the service of patriotism. The
time is past for discussion as to
whether the call of country is
stronger than the call of profit.
It is now not a question of put
ting business above your patri-
otism; it is a matter of putting
business into your patriotism.
Though our Revolutionary
ancestors accomplished great
things in making America free,
they had not learned as much
about subordinating business to
patriotism as we have learned.
Writing to James Warren in
1779 Washington censures Sc
vereIy the business morality Of
his time. "Our conflict is not
likely to cease so soon as every
good man could wish. 90 % 80 IL
Unless we can return a little
more to first principles, and act
a little more upon patriotic I
grounds, l do not know what
may be the issue Of the con-
test. Speculation, peculation,
engrOssing, forestalling, with
all their eoncomitants, afford
too many melancholy proofs of
the decay Of public virtue" ;"

SOCIAL PROGRESS VS..
PRUSSIANISM

r. HE Kaiser's reason for be-
VI ginning this war was TO
drown in a stream of blood
the social betterment move
ment that was making itself
felt in Germany and to make
autocracy a permanent insti-
tuition, declared Henry Nor
gantheau, ex-ambassadOr to
Turkey, speaking recently in
the Wisconsin senatorial cam
paign. America is merely
continuing the fight against
autOcracy begun by the Social
Democracy in Germany"
This authoritative utterance
comes in sharp contrast to re-
dictionary attempts now being
made to discredit and check
social betterment in the Unit
ed States-including work
mems compensation, health in
surance and other protective
leQislaiiOn for labor-by insi-
diously applying the spurious

ar HROUGH excessive crit-
VI cism of our war prepara-
tions, inspired at times by
politics, at other times by gen.
uine patriotism, some people
have become discouraged over
the war as a whole. They
think that Americas part is a
failure when taken as a whole
it is an magnificent success. The
public has not been given a fair
view of the subject in general.
In New York the other day
Colonel Samuel McRoberts of
the United States ordnance de-
partment told the National Sc
curity League that of $500, 600
rifles contracted for, 1,O5O, 900
have already been delivered,
and at II, 500 a day produc-
ton now exceeds that of any
other belligerent; that our out
put of smallarms ammunition
is greater at 270,000,000
rounds last month than has ever
been reached in France or
England that of 100000 ma
chine guns of various types,
contracted for, $4,000 have al
ready been delivered to the
troops, and their production is
reaching close to the rate of
$4,000 a month, and that the
present daily output of explo-
sives is four times what was
though possible in the Begin
ming.
CertaiIy the foregoing infor-
nation is not in the least dis
cOuraging. Why not empha-
size our successes as well as
our defects. 1t would give
people a more thorough idea as
to how the country is getting
along.

THEY CAN sTANDT

m OR one the East Oregoni-
an is glad that the Eng
lish, rather than the
French, were compelled to
bear the heavy part of the re-
cent fighting at Picardy and in
Flanders. This because the
French have in the past been
punished more severely than
the British. France has not
only had to fight for existence
but has been confronted with
an immense refugee problem
such as has not burdened Eng
land. Figures are not avail
able on the total war losses of
the French and British but it
may be set down that all in all
the French have suffered more.
Therefore the shifting of the
burden elsewhere is welcomed
from an allied standpoint. 1t
has not been pleasant for the
British to endure the strain OF
the spring offensive and at
times a slight tone of complaint
has been evident in some Off
cial statements. However, the
British are good sportsmen
and they will not finch at do
ing their duty as it arises. In
this case there will be consOla-
ton for their suffering in the
fact it is better for the allied
cause that they rather than the
French be under the gun.

PERsHING's COUNTY

- EWS from the county of
Linn, Missouri, the native
~ place of General Per-
shing, is to the effect that
while its apportionment of Lib
erty bonds was but $685., $50,
the people will double it. La
clede, Pershing's home town,
has already trebled its share.
1t would be a fine thing if the
balance of the country would
pay like heed to Pershing's
Liberty message from France
to the people of the United
States. 1t is worth reproducing.
Every dollar subscribed to the
Liberty loan," says Pershing,
"is dollar invested in Ameri-
can manhood. Every dollar
subscribed as the result of self
denial means partnership in
the hardships and risks of our
men in the , trenches. Every
dollar subscribed will confirm
the determination of our peo-
pie at home to stand by its
army to victorious end. An
overwhelming subscription to
the third Liberty loan will be
a patriotic expresson of conf
dence in our ability as a nation
to maintain all that we hold
dear in civilization" Pershing's
people are making response in
a way that ought to do his
heart good.

If any strings were left behind as the former Kaiser journeyed from Potsdam to Holland we will wager that they will be discovered and severed before Germany is permitted to set up housekeeping again.
