A Brick at a Time.

Senator Beverage in his Youngs-
town speech, opening the Republican
campaign in Ohio, after reciting many
OF the superb achievements of the
party in the worlds affairs, gave ut
terence TO the following impressive
piece of truth, which none will at
tempt to deny, and use good con-
science:
In these seven historic years we
have also advanced the American
name throughout the world, increas-
ed toward us the good will of ma
tions and added to our lasting power
in international affairs. AT home and
abroad our work already done has
been so vast that the world speaks of
it with praise and wonder; but we
are midway in thar work. and the
question is whether We shall go on
until We finish it.
Mr.. Bryan complains that 1t is
not finished now. But brick at a
time is the way to build a house.
Would you trust an architect who
promised to build 1t in the wink OF
an eye? The instantaneous states
man writes no sound laws, works no
lasting reform. Aladdin rears none
but imaginary palaces"
Even reflection is unnecessary to
persuade any and all that what Sem
ator Beverage says in reference to
the nations part in world affairs Is
absolutely true and without the
slightest exaggeration, and being
true, sound sense would not tolerate
a cessation or interruption of the
great work now. The nation can not
afford to disturb this work at the
point, where 1t is hut half finished,
but, 1t will seriously interrupt it, If
the people do not continue at the
head Of the government the men and
political party who have brought the
work up to the present high stand
ard and who are earnestly and zeal
ously enlisted in such worldwide dc.
velopment.
organs complaint about this work
is answered beyond question in one
short paragraph by Senator Beveridge
and so completely so that further
comment is wholly unnecessary. The
ILLUSTRATION used by Senator Bever-
idge may be commonplace but it is
eloquent In logic and true practical
bility.
Every man knows, as Senator
Beyeridge says, that brick at
time is the way to build house and
that is the way trusted architect
sees that houses are built. When
so built, they endure. The man who
would promise to build house IN
the wink of an eye Is not worthy OF
trust and is never hired. The prom
Use itself carries with it conviction
that such an architects work is
neither safe nor enduring and the
American people will have none of 1t.
And, so with the instantaneous
statesman in the writing of laws. His
work Is not lasting and he accomp-
fishes no permanent reform.
"A brick at time" is a good mot
to for all American voters this year,
and II adopted as motto, the result
will be that the great work will coli.

The Telegram appreciates the many
compliments being paid Judge Goff,
and feels proud of the fact that they
are true in every sense but though as
glowing as pen can make them, yet
they fall short of summing up tho
character and life of the man fully.

RADICAL CHANGES
IN SCHOOL AFFAIRS
WOULD MAKE COUNTY UNIT
INSTEAD OF DISTRICT.
Should Plan BE Adopted County SUI
perintendent Would BE Made Of
ficial of Power Instead OF Office
Man-Legislature VIII BE Asked
TO Require County Treasurers to
Handle School Funds.

Radical changes in the present
school laws of the state are desired
by the county superintendents and at
the meeting just held at Salem their
ideas were freely discussed At the
coming session of the legislature an
effort will be made to have at least
some of the new ideas enacted into
law.
The most radical thing proposed at
the meeting, according to Superin-
tendent Frank X. Welles, who came
home last evening, is a plan whereby
the county is made the unit for all
the districts contained therein. I'm
der this plan the county superinten-
dent Is to be elected by a school
board on the same plan a city super
intendent now serves and all the
county school affairs are to be direct
ed from one general head. Such
plan would make the county super
intendent a school man instead of an
office man.
However, this idea will not be pre-
sented to the legislature this year as
the superintendent believe that the
people are not yet ready for the
change.
OF the recommendations the super
intendents will actually make to the
legislature the most important is one
which provides that henceforth the
county treasurer handle the money
from all school districts excepting
those of the first-class. This would
relieve school clerks of all financial
responsibility.
The recent meeting, according to
Mr. Welles, was a round-table affair
and was very beneficial. Upon al
most every proposition discussed he
says that those assembled were unan-
imOus in conclusions. All but six
superintendent were present.

pictures of the development since the
government has undertaken to water
that project.
The best of these pictures, 1t is un-
derstood will be used in making Ian
tern slides for the illustrated lecture
which Mr.. Blanchard expects to de-
liver before the congress at Albu-
querque.
For a long time the officials OF the
reclamation service have made 1t no
secret that the Hermiston project was
their pet among all the 26 reclama-
ton enterprises the government has
undertaken. Indeed, it is generally
understood here that the natural con-
ditions in that valley are so favorable
that they look to this one place to
justify in the highest manner the
plan of the national reclamation SER
vice by becoming probably the most
fruitful and valuable irrigated dis
trict in the country.
In discussing his recent visit to the
Umatilla district, Mr.. Blanchard de-
clared that the town of Hermiston
had made a better and more SUBJ
stantial growth during the is months
of its existence than any other town
within the areas Of the 26 national ir-
rigation projects and that the devel-
opment on the project itself during
the six months since the water has
been turned on the land is unsurpass-
ed by the showing of any other pro-
ject under similar circumstances. He
was particularly impressed by the So
cial and church ADVANTAGES Of the
place and is very enthusiastic over
its advantages for homemakers.
