PRESS COMMENTS.
THE UNPAID INTEREST.

As figures go in these days, the sums OF
unpaid interest due the United States
from its Allies may not be of major pro-
portions, but they arc stupendous never
theless The list of the interest debts
and the debtors is as follows: Unpaid
interest on loans to foreign governments,
accruing up to November last, amounted
TO S236, ,24O,I14, while the estimated
interest for next year is S463, 1913,
Secretary Houston informed the Senate
today, answering a resolution of inquiry.
Belgium owed SS,370,3Sl; France,
SOS, ,S5S, l01; Great Britain, SI05, SOB, l2b;
Italy, S39, 22S, 1903, and Russia, $l5,O5l,-
977, of the unpaid interest the Secretary
said. The interest falling due in 1920
includes. Great Britain, s2ll ,s2S 800;
France, slS9 o9l ,2a2; Italy, s79,5 .Son .569;
Belgium, Sl6,S22, ,07S; Russia, 50, 9,399,-
365, and Czecho-Slovakia, S2,515 5,o04.
England might very well discharge its
interest obligation, and some more, by
negotiating deal with the United States,
such as this country put through with
Denmark. The British West India Is
lands might we'll be transferred to the
United States for q consideration that
would be stated in terms of abatement OF
interest and sufficient of the principal of
that country's obligations toward this
country. European powers should see
the propriety of getting away from the
Western Hemisphere, that is naturally
and by the conditions this country rs q
member of the League of Nations, will
be specifically the field of United States
influence and obligation. No other ma
ton could be tolerated so close to the
mouth of the Panama Canal. II IS not

and thereby prevent the Republican party
enjoying monopoly Of the credit and
prestige that may attend bestowal of the
privilege of franchise upon women. Others
will urge them to do all in their power to
defeat ratification on the ground that the
acquisition by the Republican party of
the votes of Negro women in Delaware
would bury the Democratic party in this
State ''ten thousand fathoms deep"
Who. oh who would be a member of
the Delaware Legislature at this momen-
tous time? Anxious, tormented days and
sleepless nights will be their portion.
But after all, ct us hope they will
approach their dut 'es in . spirit OF
patriotism and true citizenship and upon
every decisive issue vote only as their
calm Judgment may tell them IS for the
best interests Of the State and the people.

THE COMIC PRIMARY AGAIN.

Several irredeemably obscure burlesque
candidates for President have turned up
in the Presidential primaries of 1920 rs
in those of 1916. In Oregon the comic
spirit of the primary Is amusing
with nominations for Nice-Prcsident.
We learn from the Morning Oregonlan
that petitions have been filed for the
Nice-Prcsidential nomination of fsiwood
Washington, who it is alleged although we
cannot conceive upon what ground) is n
descendant of the Father of His Country
and of Samuel Adams, whose press agent
saws of him that be IS member of the
Adams family that has already given two
Presidents to this country
Any person who describes himself or IS
described rs a descendant Of George
Washington is necessarily comic. Every
body named Adams is q member of the
Adams. rs likewise of the Older Adam +,
family. II would have been more refresh
ing to the sociologist or the student Of
human NATURE if Samuel Adams of Oregon
had been described rs a descendant Of
Sam Adams Of Massachusetts,, who left
only female descendants; but perhaps
such a reflection is mere carplng and bllc.
The press agent Of The Oregonian Samuel
Adams is less romantic than that OF Mr..
Elwood Washington. Is it curious or IS 1t
natural that tho nomination IN the pri-
mary of candidates for President and
Vice President should be regarded by 50
many persons not as a serious duty but AS
irresistible opportunity for 3 loke?-

School Children and Birds.

At School No. "a, located at the south
end of Washington Bridge, there is
prized and practical exhibit, consistin
of a large number of bird boxes, which
we're made by the children of the school.
They are of various proportions ana
designs, many of them artistic and all
yerv crcditable productions. Some OF
these bird boxes will be taken by the
makers TO their homes, and put up IN
convenient places for che accommodation
of birds in their neighborhoods. Others,
bv consent and with the hearty approval
of Superintendent Mack, will be put
up in the parks
This production of bird boxes Is the
nracticai result of the organization. re-
Gently, of Junior Audubon Societies
among the children of our public schools.
The movement in this direction already
has met with gratifying success, having
extended TO probably one-third of the
city schools. Some schools have hun
dred per cent membership and all have
creditable representations.
By being associated in these JUNIOR
Audubon Societies, many children arc
brought into intimate association with
nature subjects, especially birds. The
result is an immediate awakening OF
interest in bird life and habits, and, more
important than all else, an inspiration to
be kind 10 all animals, and IN respect OF
birds to do everything possible to protect
them and minister TO their weii-being. lt
IS said nothing more quickly drives from
tho minds of children the desire TO kill
birds on sight than association with these
who love birds and take a deep interest IN
bird study and bird protection. All the
members Of the Junior Audubon Society
are eager devotees of the good work, and
their teachers arc enthusiastic IN impart-
ing information to them, especially by
walks with them in the fields and woods
for intimate observation and accurate
knowledge.
This is mighty fine movement, and
should receive ihc cordial cooperation
of all parents, and be advanced IN every
way possible by the Board Of Education.
The study of natural history Is enlight-
ening and important. The preservation
of our birds is a matter of national con-
cern, so valuable are they IN the protec-
tion Of crops by their destruction OF
deadly insects. While from the senti-
mental viewpoint, there is elevation as
we'll as endowment. and an infusion Of the
highest human aspirations IN nature
studies

A DRIVER.
BY Maurice Morris. {.

A man there was named Henry Hive
Whose one obsession was TO drive.
When he was quite tiny boy
lie drove big nails for pure Joy.
Still later as a college lad
He drove his father almost mad.
He drove a car at breaknecl speed,
Which drove his pocketbook to seed.
At golf they thought he was dub
He always used a wooden club.
But when there came the recent war
He found what he'd been driving for.
There was not any sort of drive
That didn't enlist Henry Hive.
Except, of course, you understand
Plain drives troops made through no mans
land.
Drives to raise this and lower that
He was IN all first at the bat
And when the war was done, instead
OF quitting he drove straight ahead.
The martyred Reds, so much oppressed,
Weighed heavily on Henrys chest.
Statesmen and cops became forlorn
Beneath the lash Of Henry's scorn.
But, as with passions too profound,
Poor Hive drove his into the ground
In other words, for lack of reath,
He simply drove himself to death.
The doctor came and shook his head.
''Too bad he wouldn't W ork, he said.
