PROTECT THE CHILDREN.

In an editorial upon the subject Of
child labor the Spokesman Review
presents some ideas that are basic.
Children, it says, are assets of the
state. 1t has an interest in them and
a duty toward them that are only
second, if second at all, to the par
ents' duty and interest. The ex-
ploitation of children as laborers at
ages and in occupations that Injuries
them has been found by bitter ex-
perience to work physical and moral
harm to society. 1t is incumbent up
on legislators and citizens to consider
the principles that should inspire and
guide laws in regard to children's
labor.
The first is that children have the
right to childhood, which consists in
hving the life that is peculiar to the
child and fits it for the self-propelled
life of the man or woman. This right
contains the right not to be obliged
to labor at self-support, or at helping
to support others, before it has been
given such elements of education and
reached such maturity of body and
mind as reasonably qualify it to be a
useful member of society in all ways
and to support a family. For society
not to insist and see to it that all
children receive at least this mini
mum of preparation for living is to
plant the foundation of the state IN
quicksand.

Had a Name and a Voice.

In one Of the schools in this city
where there are many Italian chill
dren the music teacher was giving
her first lesson says the Philadelphia
Times. The teacher, who is rather
stern in her way, struck the tuning
fork and sang the first note, the chill
dren following. All went well for a
short time until she suddenly discov-
cred that one of the boys had a very
deep voice.
Who's doing that deep singing?'
she demanded.
"Caruso," answered a voice from
the end of the room.
'I'll not stand for any fooling
Who's singing that way?"
"Caruso," answered the deep voice
Then followed a storm of words
from the teacher relative to "fooling'
in class and it so frightened the boy
that he couldn't open his mouth
When he did try to say something
the teacher promptly commanded him
to come down to her office after
school.
This the lad did, and 1t developed

THIS BILL SHOULD PASS.

Senator Albee has a bill that de-
serves adoption by the legislature. 1t
provides that railroad companies must
publish their time cards in newspa-
pers. The bill is aimed to do away
with the annoyance that train patrons
are subject to in looking up train
schedules. At this time the railroads
do not make practice of publishing
their time cards and patrons must
learn about trains the best way they
can. Usually one must go to a de-
pot to secure such information and
that often involves much inconveni-
ence. Sometimes the needed infor-
nation may be secured by phone but
Pendleton people know that serious
difficulties attend that method of pro-
cedure. 1t would not cost the rail-
road companies much to publish their
time cards and certainly it would be
big convenience to the public
while incidentally it would save rail-
road employees many inquiries.

MAY MISS THE GOAL.

There are as many plans for Sc
curing good roads as there are routes
to heaven. Incidentally it seems as
hard for good roads advocates to
agre upon plans as it is for church.
men to lay aside their creeds In
Oregon at this time the good roads
people are forgetting the end which
all desire-better highways-and are
Quarreling over the manner of OBJ
tanning that end.
The best organized move for good
roads Oregon has ever seen is now on.
The state good roads association has
before the legislature a plan for sys-
tematic highway construction and for
cooperation between the state and
the counties in sharing the expense.
Yet strange as it may seem this
move is earnestly opposed by the
members of the grange and of the
farmers cooperative union. Many
western Oregon representatives are
opposing the good roads measures at
the instance of their grange consti-
tuents. Eastern oregon senators and
representatives are doing the same at
the request of the farmers unions
% this section. The president of the
Umatilla county farmers union is at
Salem lobbying against the bill.
Just why so many farmers are op-
posing the good roads measure is
difficult to understand. The move is
not a selfish scheme on the part Of
Portland people. Those people are
acting with the greatest liberality in
this matter. The move proposed is a
move for the benefit Of the entire
state but largely at the expense Of
Portland. Should the good roads
measures pass Portland will have to
pay one-third the state money that IS
used. or about 100000 in one year.
Yet Multnomah county itself will not
get a particle of direct good out Of
the measure. Multnomah county all
ready has good roads and will ask
for none Of the state money. In back
ing good roads legislation Portland
people are taking a broad view Of
affairs and are striving to build up
their city through the betterment of
the state at large.
Objection is raised by many to the
idea Of having a highway commission
and a highway commissioner or en-
gineer drawing $4,000 per year. It
IL charged that the commission will
take the building OF the roads away
from the people" But this objection
ie weak because the county courts
will say where roads shall be con-
structed and will also expend the
money. The engineer will merely di-
rect the methods OF roadbuilding. Nor
10 the commissioners salary Of $4,000
anything to excite serious objection.
II the state can spend 10000 for
good roads surely II can spend $4,000
for a capable engineer to supervise
the work Without proper supervis-
ion there is danger OF improper work
and OF consequent loss.
In the view Of the East Oregonian
much Of the objection to the plan of
the good roads association arises out
of a Misunderstanding Of the meas

A CONSERVATIVE.

In a local shoe store one day this
week a stout man appeared to be hav-
ing considerable difficulty in finding
just what he wanted.
After showing him a dozen or more
pairs the salesman blandly observed:
Now. here is a pair that I think
will suit you to perfection"
After examining the shoes. the stout
man exclaimed. "I don't like them.
They are too narrow and too pointed"
"Ah," returned the clerk, but they
are wearing narrow, pointed shoes
this season."
Possibly" returned the stout man,
"but I am still wearing my last sea-
sons eet."-Youngstown Telegram.

hind the same. Perhaps the good
roads leaders did not take the peo-
pie of the state sufficiently into their
confidence in this matter 1t is evil
dent that something is wrong some-
where. From appearances at present
Oregon will not have good roads be-
cause the people are unable to agree

WHAT is MOST INTERESTING
OBJECT IN THE STATE

Would you kindly tell me, in your
opinion, what is the most interesting
object in Oregon?"
That is the question D. F. Stans-
berry, of Williamsport, Indiana, who
is collecting series of views, has
submitted to Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction-elect Alderman for an
answer. In illustrating the informa-
tion he cites the fact that the most
interesting object in California is the
big trees; in Utah, the Mormon Tenn
pie, and in New York, Niagara Falls
and in line with these, the suggestion
Crater Lake has been mentioned as
the most interesting object in this
state; also orchard lands and various
other things.
The newly elected superintendent
is anxious to give an answer to the
question of Mr.. Stansberry and
would be grateful for any suggestions
made by him by the citizens of this
state.

the garden court in front, which con-
tains two large fountains, is 125x2OO

work in such an establishment would
not live outside the crowded city has
proved to be slander. Most of the
