TRAINING FOR NATIONAL GUARD
Minneapolis Tribune.)

It's an i'll wind that blows nobody
good, and the National Guard of the
several states are going to get valus
able training out of the demonstra-
ton on the Mexican border. We wish
the naval militia might have a chance
too, but that does not seem likely.
If reports are true, the officers of
the guard have the chance OF a life
time. A general invitation has been
sent to them to join the army of OBJ
servaion as guests and spectators at
the expense of the war department.
This alone Is valuable privilege,
with the further chance that they may
receive active employment as volun-
teers, should there be need for more
officers than the regular establish
ment
Then the sudden movement has de-
nuded posts and coast forts Of garri-
sons, so that some of them lack even
| the necessary caretakers. The Ma
tional Guard may well be called on,
as it was during the Spanish war, to
| guard and care for the valuable gov
ernment property in these.
| We can hardly make out why the
all love is so well I've packed away
SO much has been said about lack Of
men to care for the costly and deli
cate equipment Of harbor defenses, a
service for which guardsmen have nc
training.
Even so slight an emergency as this
brings up the constant question OF
better training Of the National Guard
and closer relation between 1t and
the army We cannot understand
the opposition to and defeat Of the
Steenerson bill for larger payments tc
the National Guard in the last con.
gress, which came near voting ter
times as much to service pensions.

DON'T HEED THEIR ADVICE.

BY action of a committee composed
of ten Of the leading taxpayers of the
city, including the heads of the two
banks, leading merchants and prop
erty owners, the high school has been
declared unsuitable for further use.
The committee pointed out that the
tuilding is not only inadequate for
the purposes for which it is used, but
several points OF danger about the
building were also told Of in the re-
port filed with the Commercial club.
Under the circumstances it is re-
markable that there should be any
opposition to voting a new high
school Yet opposition there is and
fl comes from somewha formidable
OF larter. It is known that some prom
tnent people are openly fighting the
tmprovement. They are people who
are interested in large corporations
and are opposed to anything that
looks Ike an increase in taxation.
Apparently they don't care whether or
not Pendleton is provided with good
school buildings. They have no chill
dren themselves and so it does not
matter II the present high school
building IS unsafe, unsanitary and in
adequate.
But it will be sad day for Pen
dleton II these people are allowed tc
control affairs. The news has gone
out far and wide that our high schoo
building Is lacking and has been con
demned after a careful investigation
by practical business men and con
tractors. Those who are familiar Will
the building and the needs Of tn
school know that the committee wa

THE SOCnETL TEST.


Know more people and know
them better" was the means sug-
gested by Professor Zueblin in his
last Chicago lecture for attaining the
ultimate in human relationship. He
spoke Of wealth. position, sex, re-
ligion and race as the obstacles to the
true social situation, which should
have an intellectual and moral basis.
He ascribed the socialistic move
ment OF the age largely to the insist
ence OF modern society upon such pet
ty distinctions as wealth, family, po-
sition, etc.
OF course, the real social status OF
community Is based upon intellect
and moral purpose. Money and van
ity make more Of a show, but they do
not constitute the social influence OF
community. A person who haa

is ordinarily condemned and SO is the
society where he reigns. He can
make a display, but sensible people
see through il all.
We speak of this to encourage the
idea that culture, with its aspiration
and its impulse, is the only test of a
real society, a society that is ben
eft TO the world and an uplift to the
individual This is not an objection
u wealth, for really that is a great
good when it shines in culture and re-
finement, but when, for its own self It
sets itself UP as a social artistocrat,
then it is TO be pitied and avoided.
The keynote OF a false society is
pleasure, Of true society. it is hap
piness.

No ENARLING ACT.

An opinion has been given by the
attorney general to the effect that
an enabling act is not necessary to
permit counties to vote bonds for
building permanent ,oads. The Med

its section, says Medford lawyers

ion and that the supreme court will

The following is the constitutional
amendment in question, it having
Leen adopted by the people in Novem-
ber by majority of $4,000:
Section 10, article XI-No county
shan create any debt or liabilities
which shall singly or in the aggre-
gate exceed the sum of $4,000, except
TO suppress insurrection or repel in
tvesion, or to build permanent roads
within the county, but debts for per-
manent roads shall be incurred only
on approval of a majority of those
voting on the question"
| Should this matter be taken to the
supreme court and Attorney Genera
Crawford's view be upheld then any
county may proceed to vote bond is
sues for road purposes. However NJ
action could be taken until the mex

A YEAR At HARD
LABOR SUGGESTED
As BOOZE CURE
Secretary Byers of State Chari-
ties and Correction Pro-
poses Drastic Plan.

At a time when New York is taking
active steps to perfect a system of
dealing with drunkenness, j. P. Byers,
secretary of the State Charities, Aid
and Prison Reform Association, at the
quarterly meeting of the advisory
board of the State Department of Char
tiles and Corrections, in Trenton, today
advocated radical reform In the present
method of dealing with confirmed inc
briates.
The board before which Mr.. Byers
voiced his views is composed of the
heads of all the charitable, correc-
tional n penal Institutes of the State.
He asserted that the present method
OF sending inebriates for a short time
to an insane hospital is not a success
and does not work out any reform in
the individual.
Continued Incarceration is needed,
he maintained. He declared that the
workhouse system should be extended
into every county in the State, and
every converted prisoner should be
committed to these warehouses;, the
county pals being limited Il the In
generation of those awaiting trial.
Confirmed inebriates, he held. should
be committed to the %workhouse. which
should be in the open country, the
commitment to be for al open period,
not less than one year. They should
be made to perform some manual la
Dor and should be released under a
system Of parole.
In Line with New York Attempt.
This Is directly in line with the at
tempt being made by New York State
to grapple with the problem Of the
habitual drunkard. There one of the
most ambitious schemes ever made by
a government will have its Inaugural
ton October 1.
Isolation of drunkards under the SUI
pervision of experts is the core of the
idea, but plans have been worked out
also for the reform of those who have
proved unable to escape the habit
without public aid. Although the new
board has been the target for much
levity, philanthropists, sociologlsts and
physicians are watching the experiment
with interest, and If 1t succeeds its
~originators declare that they will do
something never accomplished before
on such a large scale.
The Board of Inebriety consists of
two clergymen, two physicians and a
retired merchant, with the commission
ers Of charities and of correction men,
bers e%x-oficio. They serve without
pay. The board will operate with the
aid of the police. Until 1t can obtain
a field force of Its own. II will have the
various police captains report all ar
rests for drunkenness.
