"Newlyweds" and Their Second Year THE best contribution from any source tot the literature communi- of thrift week that we have seen thus far is the cation of "Newlyweds and son," published on this page of the Sunday Register.

In the second year of their married life "Newlyweds" were blessed with the arrival of a son. standing the additional expense that the event entailed and notwithstanding that business with "Newlyweds" was not so good as in the preceding they lived within their income and year, saved half as much as they spent. Because income was less they saw to it that expenditures were less and this notwithstanding that $347.64 was spent on the baby. Where for two had spent $2,486.19 in 1928, for three they spent but they $2,420.93 in 1929. Of course some families of necessity live on less than that every year.

It is not any claim to a They make no such low total of expenditures by "Newlyweds" that compels admiration. claim. But admiration is compelled by the fact that they spend wisely and carefully according to their means, allowing neither decrease of income nor increase of necessary expenditure to prevent their allowing a margin for saving. Say the "Newlyweds in their communication: Our conception of thrift is not living on the least possible but wise spending plus the gradual accumulation of enough worldly not only for ourselves and our dependents but to raise our goods standard of living and enjoyment. If anybody has better expressed the definition of true thrift or the true lesson for thrift week than "Newlyweds" have done in that sentence we have not seen the expression.

"Newlyweds," who arrived last June, seems to be rather lucky in his choice of parents. The Case of Mrs. Owen A MAN tive in whom congress she had from defeated the for Fourth election Florida as district representa- has ungallantly raised a question as to the constitutionality of Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen's claim to the seat to which she has been chosen, on the ground that she is not a citizen of the United States. What is more, much as we could wish it otherwise, the contest raised seems to be pretty well based.

Representative-elect Owen was born in the United States, the daughter of no less typical an American than the late William Jennings Bryan. By nativity and parentage the lady would be entitled to all the rights of office-holding granted to other American women under the 19th amendment, except for an added circumstance. This is that she married an Englishman, thereby becoming a British subject and losing her American citizenship. Her husband, an English army officer, died following the war and Mrs. Owen resumed her residence in Florida.

She did not apply for American citizenship. Probably the thought did not occur to her that such a step would be required or necessary. She did run for office and was elected. Now she is applying for her seat and the house elections committee is clearly somewhat disturbed upon receiving the lady's plea, made somewhat emotionally, and realizing at the same time that what she is asking it to do is open to grave legal question. Mrs.

Owen could apply for American citizenship and be-. come naturalized in the regular her way the but that would take and so would hardly help in present emergency. also could regain her citizenship by taking an American husband but it is unlikely she would do so from such a motive. Threshing old Straw just ARNEGIE issued, is on about Foundation's as tame "bulletin and 24" tasteless on a college document athletics, as one could imagine. It is as bromidic as "bulletin 23" was provocative.

If "bulletin 24" has adduced anything either new or valuable the summaries of it carried in the press dispatches certainly do not indicate it. There is mere repetition of facts long known and often stated. For instance we read that "Once opposed, then tolerated, athletics have come to be regarded as an important part of the educational processes" and "Existing opposition is directed at what are regarded as evils resulting from an exaggerated and commercialized system" and "The claim that athletics seriously interferes with scholarship remains unproved" and "Coaches and athletic directors regarded as highly important teachers of youth." Those fair are samples of the "discoveries" of the research gents of Carnegie. Not one item in the press summaries as received is more new or pertinent than the samples quoted. "Bulletin 24" is, to judge by the press reports, a mere re-threshing of old straw.

A compilation by Oregon's secretary of state shows that it costs more to hold a session of the legislature in this state than it does in Washington, although the session in Washington is for 60 days against Oregon's 40 days and there are 138 members of the Washington legislature to receive per diem as against our 90 members. Oregon's legislatures are free-handed by tradition when it comes to session expenditures. With an individual clerk for each member besides a full force of desk clerks, with some clerks allowed to serve in two capacities and draw two salaries simultaneously, with stenographers all over the place and with no stint in supplies our solons maintain an attitude of open-handed generosity with themselves, according to the secretary's showing. Some day, we predict, there will be a row about it. Some of the objection to the emphasis placed on football at colleges and universities is based on the contention that it.

is not educational. But the recent football agitation at the University of Oregon has had one educational result. Several Oregon newspapers are now able to print the word "professorial" without making it "professional." Now for a bigger and better football stadium on the University of Oregon campus. OREGON EDITORS' OPINIONS (Medford News) HENRY L. CORBETT, president of the state senate and wel known Portland resident, had barely made the announcement that he was a candidate for the republican nomination for governor than his money and influence became a plague.

One newspaper of the state called him "High Hat Henry," and various Indi- money, He 16 man who 80 far In his political career has never attempted to use wealth AS a stepping stone or means to public office. We make this appraisal of Mr. Corbett not in the sence of supporting him for the office to which he aspires, but in fairness to him. Money obtained legitimately and wisely expended and invested ought not become a plague to any man. We recognize the fact the people of this country are too much clined to use money as the standard of gauging man's fitness for high office, rather than his.

However, those who seek to accomplish the defeat of Mr. Corbett will find more effective weapons than the mere fact that he possesses wealth. An Outstanding Democrat (Springfield Senator Edward F.

Balley 1s an outstanding democrat and might carry Lane county as A favorite son for governor if he were nominated by his party. However, the question would be could he carry Multnomah against Norblad, Hall or Corbett, any of whom more than likely will be the republican candidate. Optimistic Thought on Today (The Dalles Chronicle) It won't be long now until the snow is gone. Peculiar but true, the grass seems to come up greener in the spring after a good heavy snow has blanketed it for 8 while. Perhaps that thought may help us endure the slush.

A Eugene physician seeking the animal with a hen in its mouth going out West Eighth street, shot it, thinking it was a wild coyote that had become hungry and to town to get something to ORCHESTRA PLEASES AT U. OF O. VESPERS Rex Underwood, conductor, and the 60 members of the University of Oregon orchestra, won the hearty plaudIts of approximately 800 when they appeared in concert Sunday afternoon for the first time this year at the four o'clock program at the school of music auditorium.

In the Haydn Third Symphony (Surprise) there was again evidence of much study of the composer's mood. The classical restraint of the music was admirably observed. Particularly commendable was the fine performance of the violins In the interesting counterpoint work of the first movement They made the intricate patterns light and colorful. Always the shading of the orchestra was excellent. The second movement was apparently of most interest to the audience.

The familiar Haydn theme 8.5 it is developed throughout the movement in variations afforded keen enjoyment. Now it was slow and stately, fairly stalking along as played by the contrabasses. Again It WAS spritely carrying and rapid, with the violins the air, and again it was with the piccolos developing the theme. The third movement was omitted, the finale, molto allegro, being used. Throughout the Haydn work minute attention to the interpretation was shown.

There was no over-dramatic note. When the counterpoint work demanded delicacy of performance it was given and when the bolder passages wanted heavier strokes, they were given. The whole performance was intelligent and highly musical. Esther Wicks, Juilliard scholar and senior in music, who 18 a pupil of Underwood, played Bach's famcus air for the string, accompanied by a string orchestra, as the second of the three numbers. Regarded as most promising violinist, Miss Wicks gave further evidence of the claim of critics with her performance of the famous melody.

The quiet dignity of the Bach air she made a thing of rich beauty. MANY GO TO CHURCH DESPITE COLD DAY Eugene Baptists manifested Temarkable indifference to the freak of yesterday, according to Acting Pastor George E. Burlingame, who reports morning audience of two-thirds of the normal attendance, and evening service with an even larger number present. Forty-four high school young folks were on hand for their evening class in the school of missions, which regtatered a total attendance of 137. The chorus choir under the direction of Daisy Belle Parker presented musical programs of high excellence.

An impressive feature of the evening service was the missionary pageant presented by 20 young women under the direction of Mildred Johnson, "The Light of the World." R. 8. Shelley, Bible school superintendent, announced that the monthly supper of the Bible school council would be postponed from this (Monday) evening to Thursday at 6 p. preceding the service, TEAM HEARS SERMON Rev. Fred Jennings Talks to Basketball Players on Rules of Game "If A man contend in the game he is not crowned except he contend lawfully." This was the text of the sermon delivered by Rev.

Fred Jennings of the Episcopal church to church members which included the basketball team of the University of Oregon, coaches and managers Sunday. The text was from Timothy, 2:5. Confidence in self, and in team, mental co-operation, obedience to the rules, and "follow- up" were the five points which Rev. Jennings stressed in adjuring the athletes to "play the game" of basketball and of life. The principles which apply to clean game of basketball are applicable to life, though the rules vary, Rev.

Jennings said. Certain rules are laid down in the game, and in life they are to be found in the scriptures. To sportsman one must follow the rules, he said. MRS. C.

BOERSTLER DIES AT VENETA HOME Mrs. Clarence Boerstler, 64, died at her home at Veneta Sunday at 1:15 p. after an illness of 10 days. Florence Dozler was born Kentucky March 8, 1865, and came to Oregon 37 years ago. She was a member of the Veneta community club and of the Veneta Methodist church.

PUPILS STAY AT HOME ON ACCOUNT OF SNOW Attendance in rural schools of Lane county for the past month has been rather poor, much below the average maintained for several years past, according to E. J. Moore, county superintendent of schools.

The bad weather is held to be the cause for the falling off in attendance in recent weeks. Of attendance reports received at the superintendent's office only two schools report no absent or tardy pupils during the month. The Disston school eight boys enrolled and the Meadowview school with four boys and three girls are the schools with the 100 per cent attendance. The heavy snow and resulting difficulties of many pupils reaching school each day has cut down the average attendance in practically all districts, the superintendent said. POULTRY MAN TALKS AT KIWANIS MEETING The work which has been done by the Pacific Cooperative Poultry Producers' association In Lane county was the subject of a talk given by W.

INSURANCE. Thrift Week Book By HARRY REEVES CALKING Stewardahip Secretary Methodiat copal church; reviewed by Fred J. Clark. THIS book draws a sharp distinction between two contrary conceptions of the nature of ownership in properrights, The pagan idea la of absolute ownership. "I have seen the people starve while Hindu merchanta ant at the granaries, pitiless as the atones of their wheat bins." Their ownership was absolute; neither God nor man had any to interfere.

The Christian Idea is that property constitutes a trust. "To have la to owe, not to own." Back of the Christian idea of stewardship lies the Jewish idea of the tithe. The tithe wha based on the theory that all absolute ownership in God. "The earth la the Lord's, and the fulness thereof." The tithe was the recognition of the divine ownership. just as paying rent is a recognition of the owner's righta, and taxes of the rights of the government.

Next to the first Jowlah tithe came the tithes for the poor, for, "The poor shall never conso out of the land." "Most compassionate allowanco WAS made for them at all times." Then when Christianity came, "For the first time in human history it WAS established that men are to hold all their possessions stewards." In America the government does not ognize absolute ownership. Says airford Pinchot: "The heart of the conservation policy is development and use," 'Stewardship as a national polloy for the preserving and enriching of the soil la now recognized in every state." In short, God owns property: man the exercise of stewardship we recogpossesses it and A controls Its value. In nize God's right in all material values. Likewise, in giving freely to human need we recognize the right of society, the claim of our brother man's need, on our property. The mark of the civilized man la recognition of social need; just as the mark of Christian man la recognition of God's right in his possessions.

The man brother's who need, who away shuta his turns his eyes from heart his as he snaps his pocketbook, la a pagan, uncivilized and un-Christian. He needs socializing, civilizing and converting. Chriatianity condemns pagan wealth "the root of all evil;" but it comne the Christian ownership of mends wealth a stewardship of power In the service of Cod and man.
