Recent Sc ssions
Burning Disgrace

"Our legislature has been a disgrace
a burning disgrace. l have never wit
messed a crazier night than the last
one in our Legislature when bills were
showed through without their even
having been read, and senator's sat
there laughing and joking about it.
Thus Senator Walter NJ. Pierce,
from eastern Oregon, characterized
the dilemma of haste in the recent spe-
cial session of legislature in q talk
made last night in the Commercial
club. Senator Pierce pointed 10 The
aforementioned as one of the causes
that breed unrest and treason in the
country and the main causes that
force people to clamor for a more
steady hand at the helm of the gov
ment. He made a strong plea for true
Americanism as 1t was felt by the stur-
dy men who founded the nation; and
vehemently flayed all practices and
agitations that tendto undermine tne
serenity of the country
Senator Pierce talked following
Arthur c. Foster, former farmer
from North Dakota who told of the
activities of the non-partisan league in
that state and of the slow, insidious
spread of the revolutionary doctrines
of the organization through the west.
Foster said that there are 1900 mem
bers of the organization cloaked in
the title, Triple Alliance. in Washing
ton who are dedicated to the over
throw of the present system of eco
nomics in the country. He referred to
the recently formed political party in
this state as another movement of the
non-partlsan league here, and warned
against its spread.

CEDAR LOGS IN ELM TREE
Simple Theory Seems to Account for
Their Presence, but 1t Might Be
More Circumstantial.

Nature provided a surprise the
other day for workmen in the Buff
falo (N. " park department, who
were cutting down giant elm and
found inside the 100-year-old trunk
three good-sized perfectly preserved
timbers of cedar.
The theory is that they got there
when the city was village and the
elm stood in what was then the mar
ket place. The elm was young, and it
is believed that the timbers were
placed around the trunk to protect
the tree from being nibbled by horses
which the farmers hitched to it when
they drove into the market place.
Time passed, and nobody thought
of taking away the timbers; but the
tree kept on growing, and year by
year the trunk surrounded them
more and more until they finally dis
appeared. The theory seems tenable,
but think Of the interest that would
be added by the verifcation Of an
oldest inhabitant, who remembered
when the timbers were put in place,
and, himself a barefoot boy, cut his
name in one Of them with his first
jack-knife Christian Science Mon

THE PROFESSOR, THE JEWS, AND
RACE CHARACTERIZATIO

In recent issue we vented our
anger at professor of anthropology
in our university because of some
statements he was supposed to have
made about Jews in lecture to
class of Americanization workers he
is conducting at our great institution
of learning. The statements were
reported to us by Jewish member
of that class, who we knew, had no
other motive in doing so but the de-
sire to relieve his own mind that had
been greatly disturbed while listen
ing to that lecture, and to do some
thing that might prevent the repeti-
ton of such offensive statements on
the part of university instructor in
the future. Other students of that
class, however, have since convinced
us that the professors remarks about
Jews were simply misunderstood by
our complaining reporter; that they
were neither offensive nor prejud1clal,
and that on the contrary, the pro-
fessor had taken pains to point out
all the good qualities the Jews as a
race possess. If, therefore, we have
done the professor an injustice by
accusing him Of malice towards the
Jews, we hereby humbly apologize.
And with that our quarrel with the
professor ends.
But it does not end our determine
ton to see to it that simple justice
be done to the Jewish people at least
by men of culture and education, men
who should know better than to re-
peat the common vulgar prejudices
and malicious SANDERS that have been
spread about the Jews by their
enemies. We can hardly expect a
fair estimate of the Jew by the man
in the street, by the ignorant and
superstitious masses, considering that
for about nineteen hundred years
their minds have assiduously and in
vidiously been poisoned by an intol-
Grant religious despotism or a re-
