THE PORK BARREL.

EVERY in awhile the first congressional district
of Oregon is reminded that it has a representative in
congress though the reminders are few and far between
The prospect OF raid the treasury with another 'por
barrel bill has awakened Congressman Hawley from his
habtua somnoence and he has introduced bills for pub
lie buildings at Astoria Ashland Corvallis Grants Pass
Marshfield and Oregon City.
The pork barrel is gned to reward members of
congress for standing in with the Organization and vot-
ing bndy as instructed and to punish the recacitrant
members Those who take orders get Uncle Sans money
for federal buildings in their districts who refuse
to wear the yoke denied buildings The merits and
needs OF the communities have nothing to do with the
awards
The bills for buildings appeal to local pride and help
build up the congressman political fences at home The
structures are udicous distributed to pacate dsgrun-
led sections and create popularity They pointed to
concrete evidence of the congressmans influence and
prestige at Washington and convincing proof that he has
the welfare of his district at heart and is active in it's be-
half---a most convenient cloak to cover Deficiency
The "pork-barre" is a shameful waste of public mon
les and constitutes perennial scandal 1t is most un
scientific expenditure There countless little towns
with imposing edfces the greater portion of which can
never be utilized by the government monuments to the
political doclity of perpetual office holder Yet
congress cgs to this perncous form of graft for selfish
reasons and saunchy ressts all efforts to adopt bud
get system OF expenditures based upon necessities

All the world is shot to pieces. men

Of boonS and bulwarks. and some fif-
ty kinds of rights; capital is swatting
labor. labors roundly hitting back,
and our mills are standing idle, and
cur trains have jumped the track. All
the struggling, fighting forces seem
to glory in the wreck. while the ITlti-
mate Consumer gets the cleaver in the
neck. oh, the Ultimate Consumer in
the scrap has little part; he'd be hap
py just TO labor in the office or the
mart, and to feed his wife and kiddies,
and to buy the rags they need, and
provide against the future when he's
old and gone to seed; but alas, the
bricks are flying, and the scrappers
are on deck, and the Ultimate Con-
sumner gets the dornicks in the neck
And the Ultimate Consumer has sad
and weary lot, for he's always bound
to suffer, whether others do or not;
others do the frantic talking of their
grievances and Ills, while the Ultimate
Consumer goes ahead and pays the
bills; it's time of sound and fury and
the madness knows no check, and the
Ultimate Consumer gets the hatchet

SALEM AND THE SNOW.

C ALIEN is experiencing the heaviest snowfall in many

the air and deposit it upon the so strengthening and

streets in which traffic of any kind is almost i'm
possible in the two feet of Many residents have
not taken the trouble to clear path to the house
What traffic there is wholly along the street car tracks
where the snow pows have cleared passage.
Do Saemites expect the mlkman, the grocery

their homes when they refuse to make possible to get

How do people expect their little Capital Journal car

The Happy Man

The happiest man in the world is
the common. every day chap. who
makes his own living. pays his own
bills and has the respect of his
neighbors. He saves a little money
as he goes along, but doesn't try to
get corner on his local output and
he is not a slave to ambition or
society. He never expects to wear
out his trousers in the senate and
when he glides out of bed in the
morning he neverwastes any time
trying to pick out the right tint of
socks, suspenders and necktie that
will blend with the general effect.
He only wears a high collar when
he feels like it. and when his pet
corn begins to jump. he jerks out
his knife and cuts four-inch cash
in the side of his shoe and nothing
is said about it in the local paper.
He never has to set up at night to
poultice his conscience. He be-
Iieves in the doctrince of live and
let live. When he encounters one
of the needy he doesn't stutter with
his pocketbOok. The plain plug of
a man is happy because he is salts
fed and he doesn't spend half of his
time yearning for something which
his salary will not permit him to
buy. Give us more plain men and
the world will be better.

Robbed and Murdered

NoODCo 0hu IS1u1 tCl "a
When Emil R LIGHT, the recluse
pawnbroker, arose in his shop, So
Hamphire street Quincy Illinois q
half block from the police station.
Wednesday night. to greet the mur-
derer or murderers. who killed him
a moment later. he was reading
Music Of He'll" a story in The
Saturday Evening Post, telling of a
robbery and pursuit of men who
carried bag of gold coin, the
Music of Hell" to their tortured
ears.
They had robbed a safe, just as
LIGHTS safe was looted of gold and
$4,000 worth of diamonds. A
gasoline explosion, caused by a
bullet fred through the tank. left
them stranded. afoot. with the
Sheriff and posse close behind, amid
the solitude and waterless sands of
the hell hole of a California desert.
The CHASTITY, tormenting. tantalizing
click. click of the gold. that was
neither music nor drink, was the
motif of the powerful story of re-
morse and death.
When Thursday morning LIGHT,
with his head crushed in, was found
lying in crimson pool, the mag
aziLe with the page opened on the
story, was found lying on a table in
front of the shop, under which his
body was found. The chair near
the table in which the old man hab-
itually sat when reading, as was his
nightly habit, told the story. LIGHT
had lived long in the far West, and
his knowledge of deserts and des-
peradoes indicates to his intimates
how the story Music of He'll al
lured him.
The Den-killers escaped without
leaving trace, and. if in an auto
mobile, without accident. If they
left Quincy in this fashion they sue
ceeded in placing hundred miles
between them and pursuit, just as
the robbers in the magazine story
had planned to do.
With murder bounding at their
conscience, perhaps to day the rat
tie OF the diamonds and the click
of the. stolen gold is music of hell"
10 their fearful ears.
In some respects there is paral-
lei between this murder and the
desert crime LIGHT was reading,
where burning with thirst. one rob-
Der said to his partner, Pack, touch
ing the bag of gold he carried: We
went to hell for it." A long time
ago read about Orpheus, who
went to hell for a woman-and
they immortalized him. But the
poor fool who sells his honor for
few pieces of metal marches straight
down to ruin, and his feet keep time
to the music of hell.

Praise for the 35th

On the eve Of its departure for
the trip home. the 35th Division.
composed OF the Missouri and Kan
sas National Guard. was reviewed
by Gen. Pershing and the Prince of
Wales.
The spectacle was one Of the
most impressive witnessed overseas
The men gave their commander in
an enthusiastic greeting and he
responded with speech.
Gen. Pershing said in part:
I am glad for this opportunity to
say a few words to the officers and
through the officers to the men of
this excellent division.
The 35th Division made an en-.
viable record in its comparatively
short time in the zone Of action
and it has shown up splendidly in
review today.
You are going home. and in a
short time you will have the great
JOY Of seeing your loved ones again.
The hardships of this war have
been tremendous, and We have all
come through the struggle at least
a little the better men for it
We have gained inspiration and
l trust that you officers and men OF
this division will use that inspira-
ton in your future life.
'ThereIis one thing trust you
will not do and that is to be misled
by certain persons at home who
seek to make political capital out
of the conduct of this war.
There have been hardships, but
we expect that in war. / have nc
patience with the carping critics
who whine about various unavoida
BILE difficulties that soldiers must
face.
1 have nothing but contempt fol
the man who cries because there
was no sugar in his coffee or be
cause this or that didn't suit him.
There has been complaint by
certain persons about the treatment
of this division. I hope none ot
you will be misled by these critics
F Such complaining and whining does
not do credit to the division.
l You, as we'll as all other Ameri
can divisions in France, may justly
be proud Of what you did TOWARD
winning the war.
4 We do not mean to boast or brae
and we pay tribute to our great al
I lies, but it is fact we came into
this struggle at the critical time
and your courage, your strength
your endurance. your dauntless
4 daring and tremendous power
+ crushed the enemy

may know that you deserve the
welcome and gratitude of the coun
