back as any were famous drunkards in the old
days.
The Greeks were moderate drinkers until
they began to copy the luxury Of the Persian
feasts. The Romans initiated the Greeks
Then the whole world went on a mad drunk
1t was a saturnalia.
In the beginning no wrong was thought of
drinking and the moralists even advised drink

drinking and earnestly counseiled people TO
drown their sorrows in wine.
Honors for Druntards.
''when shall we live If not now?" was the
giddy aevtee of Seneca.
The Romans carried things to an extreme
never equalied in another age Guttony and
fntemperance reigned and huge fortunes were
spent In a single repast.
Ciaudius was noted for the rare wines he
served. He often had as many six hundred
guests at his table. Like Tiberius. he con-
ferred honors upon drunkards for no other rea-
son than because of their accomplishments In
drinking.
CaIiguia owes his niche in the hall Of shame
to the drunken banauets with which he made
even Rome marvel. The excesses made
fashionable by such potentates as Luculius.

: There is need of an auditor
. ium that will accommodate
! large meetings, including con.
: ventions and take care of de,
sIrable road shows and other
| attractions such as high school
! lyceum numbers.
The Commercial Club is in
need of quarters in keeping
with the prestige of the city.
A modern, well equipped
gymnasium, under an expert
enced director, and with an all
the year swimming tank would
be a big boon, particularly to
the young men and young wo-
men of the city.
None of the above mentioned
institutions would be money
makers in themselves. That is
why they are not provided by
private capital. But in a broad
sense they would bring good
returns to the city. Pendleton
is a home town. Our schools,
our water and other good civic
facilities cause people to move
here from the surrounding
country. This zone from which
they come is becoming broader
as the auto eliminates distanc-
es. So Pendleton has much to
expect of the future. But ifl
we expect people to locate here
we must give them service. InI
lines of activity where we are
backward we should speed up |
and it is evident that with re-
ference to some things we are
very much behind the times
when compared to some of our
neighbor cities.
How is Pendleton going to
do it? How can we obtain an
auditorium-theatre, a home for
the Commercial Club, a good
gymnasium and tank? What
are we going to do in the way
of a soldier memorial?
1t is time to be busy.
