The subject is not one lending it.
self easily to the purposes of public
discussion, and the Presbyterians, SO
far as we are able to gather from the
reports, did not discuss it unduly, if
at all. They just condemned the ig-
norance of life which expresses itself
in the demand for such education, as
being unfit to lead human society.
They spoke out of that world know
ledge which some one has very aptly
called "the arrogance of experience. !"
That is the quality needed to deal
with many of the half baked, or Who'll

BUCKING THE FARMER.

Results of the democratic tariff are
giving the farmers of the country
great concern, especially so as re-
CARDS the importation of corn and
meat from Argentina to compete with
the products of the American farmer.
These things are threatening the
farming industry, but they have not
lessened the cost of living. Another
phase of the situation is that the tar
iff is helping the trusts that have ac-
quired control of foreign products
that are being shipped into this coun-
try in competition with the farmer
During the last two months of 1912,
under republican tariff, only 41,00O
bushels of potatoes were imported into
the United States. In the last two
months of last year, under demo-
cratic tariff, nearly 100000 bushels
Of potatoes were brought into this
This means that more than
a million dollars were sent to foreign
growers. 1t is reported that the for
eign acreage of potatoes is to be
doubled and hereafter increased year

SERVICE TO EMPLOYEES.

The Methodist Book concern, whicl
is the official printing and PUBLISHING
department Of the general organiza
ton of the Methodist church, recent
ly took out group insurance policy
on the lives of its 1000 employees
No employe is insured for more than
50 400, but with this reservation every
employe is insured for>the amount of
one years salary, the policy being
payable to legal claimants, or at the
direction Of the insured. The CON
Germ of course pays the premium, the
idea being to utilize some of the
profits of the business to safeguard the
dependents Of each employe against
immediate want, in case of the en-
ploye's death and the termination of
his regular earnings.
This plan well illustrates the larg-
er consideration that many private
employees throughout this country are
now giving to the social welfare of
their employees. There is a wide
spread tendency among the larger
employers to look after the personal
interests of their employees, beyond
the mere payment of wages or salar-
les. With some this paternal over
sight takes the form of profit shar-
ng, or inducement TO employees to
invest their savings in the business
lnder very favorable terms, thereby
irving them a direct interest in the
business and a chance to share in its
'ewards. Others employ the plan of
iick benefits, old age and service PEN
lions, life insurance, and in the case
# one. leading auto concern a plan has
'een adopted for a very generous dis
wage bonuses, which allows
minimum wage of S. a day to every
ctive worker, from watchman and
weepers up.
The ultimate object of all this is,
f course, to serve and promote the
ersOnal interests of employees, and

MORE WORRY FOR KANSAS.
The farmers of Kansas are havir

The farmers of Kansas are having
a good deal of worry these days ove1
the old problem of securing enough
help to harvest their abundant crops.
The wheat harvest will begin in less
than week, and as the grain is in
prime condition the farmers will want
to garner it fast as they can after
it is ready for the reapers. Urgent
calls have been sent out for more
harvest hands, but while there has
been some response there is still, it is
claimed, serious shortage of help.
Apparently, moreover, this is not to
be the end of the worries of the
Kansas farmers this year. A promi-
nent grain man of that state declares
that, considering the earliness of the
harvest, there is a fine opportunity
this season to grow and gather a sec
ond wheat crop, and he says that
some of the Kansas farmers already
are planning to do this. Such an OPP
portunity of course offers a big temp
tation to try the plan, for if a second
crop can be grown and harvested be-
fore autumn frosts it will largely in
crease the profits of the farmers.
A double crop, with double profits, |
however, will necessarily double the
worries Of the Sunhower state farm
ers, for it will mean double work in
preparing the soil and seeding, and,
later, in harvesting the second crop.
The latter work, also, will come at a
time when the more northern fields
will be demanding the attention of
the harvesters, which might cause a
good deal of rivalry and competition
in the effort to secure harvest hands.
Big crops alone cause a good deal of
worry to the farmers when harvest
time arrives, but if Kansas sets out to
raise a second crop of wheat the ;
worry is going to be multiplied to !
legree.

THE LITTLE BUNCH.

Although all may be deeply inter
ested in the enhancement of com
munity interests, and stand ready tc
encourage legitimate movements tend
ing toward greater development OF
resources, it is an indisputable fact
that the crowd seldom gets in and
drills. Experience teaches that it is
invariably the efforts of little bunch
of progressive men who see and feel
the need of doing things that counts.
This is true of every COM
munity, and it is true of Dallas.
A few resolute men-the little bunch,
If you please-who have the conf
dence of their neighbors can accom-
plish much for the upbuilding of not
only their home town but the sur
rounding territory as we'll. One ideal
and mutual confidence in one another
operate most successfully together.
Nowhere does this find better illus
tration than in the consummation of
several enterprises for this communi-
ty in past years, and likewise in pres
ent day promotion work. 1t is
doubtless due to little bunch of men
and women-who, working untiring-
ly together through many years. that
Dallas enjoys the enviable reputation
of being one of the very best towns
in the Willamette Valley, or in the
great commonwealth Of Oregon. And |
through a continuation of these COM
efforts on the part of these
public spirited citizens Dallas must
cap still greater benefits in the fu-
'ure, for an enduring foundation has
'een laid. Loyalty, enthusiasm and
,eeping everlastingly at it brings sue
ess. Staying by a purpose, follow
ng an ideal, has resulted in a crown
ng glory for many little bunch of
nen.

ARROGANCE OF EXPERIENCE.

The great Presbyterian Assembly
which has just adopted resolutions op.
posing instruction in sex education and
differentiation in the public schools
has done something practical, and in
the line of common-sense experience,
to offset the claim of vaporing and
theorizing with which church activi-
ties are too often met. No exper-
fenced or prudent person in the world
can take issue with their conclusions.
They are irrefragably right.
This being as true as it is. and even
as obvious as it is, a question natur-
ally arises of why should it be nee
essary for cOnclave of a great re-
hgious body to take such action. The
answer is that agitation of anything
has become So easy and cheap, in a
day OF cheap print and yellow jour
nalism, that men and women with
smatterlng of letters can gain wide
audiences with all sorts of revolu-
tionary and bizarre opinions; the
more revolutionary and bizarre they
may be, in fact, the more likely are
they to find reflection in prints dedi-
Gated to the work of giving people a
new thrill every hour of the day.

| the movement therefore is one of en-
tire worthiness. Whether the benefits
are small or large, the consideration
| thus given to the welfare of employees
| is founded on the basic principle OF
human brotherhood and mutual de-
pendence, and this relationship is con-
firmed and strengthened every time a
humane minded employer puts into
practice any of the various forms of
protecting and advancing the inter-
ests of his employees as class. More
over, this movement is growing and
spreading, and eventually is bound to
have a far reaching effect in the in
dustrial world. 1t offers, perhaps the
most effective safeguard against labor
discontentment and so-called labor
wars, and therefore is a good thing
for society as a whole. Nor can it
be doubted that it also brings bene-
fits to each business which adopts
this system. For in the establishment
of mutual confidence, good will and
harmonious cooperation between en-
ployers and employees, there is a factor
of advantage that is absolutely essen
tial to the success of any business en-
terprise or undertaking.

: : LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE 4!
+ + = + + + + + + + + + - + + + 1,

To the Editor.-One of the princi-
pal reasons assigned for the adoption
of the direct primary law in this state
was that the procedure under this law
would do away with the alleged fraud
that existed in the old conventions in
the nomination of candidates. To re-
view the history of the operation Of
the direct primary in this state almost
convinces us that the direct primary
has failed to accomplish the end
sought. We are told repeatedly by
defeated candidates in the primaries
that they were defeated because of
fraud perpetrated by their successful
opponents. Think of it! Fraud ex-
isting under the direct primary law.
In Multnomah county the would-be
savior OF our country, the Honorable
Abraham Walter Lafferty, though
registered as Progressive in the halls
OF Congress, entered the Republican
primaries against C. N. Macarthur for
the Republican nomination for Con-.
gress. The good people of Multno-
nah county decided most decisively
that they had had enough of the said
Walter and returned a majority in
favor of Macarthur. Almost before
the vote had been counted, and just as
soon as the said A. Walter learned
with certainty that he had been de-
feated, we find him entering the lists
again as an independent candidate,
making the claim that he was defeated
by fraud, by misrepresentation upon
the part of opponents. Think of it ! |
Using the word "fraud" in the same
breath with the magic words "direct
primary" Will the intelligent voters
of Multnomah county be hoodwinked
by this buncombe? Will they listen
to this whining" on the part of a
poor loser? Is the rule of the dema-
gogue to be continued? 1 predict that
these questions will be answered in the
negative by the voters of Multnomah
county in November when they roll up
\ great majority for Macarthur. If
hey do not, we can well ask, "What
S our county coming to?'
The direct primary law is here to
'tay. 1t has many good features,
mt there is no doubt but that it needs :
fixin." When man enters the .
and is defeated, he should .
tep down and out. He should not
'e permitted to have his name again
'rinted upon the ballot as an indepen- !
lent candidate. If man desires to !
un for an office as an independent, .
e should have that privilege, but he !,
hould not be permitted to run both in
he primaries and then as an indepen- =
ent in the general election To per- I
nit a man to do this is to defeat the 1
cry purpose Of the direct primary. 4
he object of the direct primary is !,
, afford a fair means of selecting
ominees for the various offices by the
espective political organizations.
