THE SECRET BALLOT IS
 THE EFREEMAN'S SAFEGUARD

E A s THE TsVIG is bent, SO is the tree inf "A clined.
 Spare the, ,rod spoil the child. @ Beware of precedents; they are dangerous.
 Here are three familiar maxims The Ian guage of each is different, but the meaning is the same.
 Human rights have been slowly gained. History shows that such rights are easily lost. The loss is a little at a sti1ne but it is much more rapid than the gain.
 IT every stage of society some men have obtained an economic advantage over < other men, and have sought to keep their unfair posi- tion by force by cunning, or by fraud.
 The BALLOT is the greatest single privi- Iege ever obtained by the mass of men.
 The SECRET ballot is the greatest addition ever made to this great privilege.
 Before the ballot the people could not over |throw their tyrants except by resort to arms, land tyrants usually had more arms than the lpeople.
 | The secret ballot enables the hunblest man Ito go to the polls and vote according to his con- lseience. It is between him and his God His lemployer cannot look over his shoulder, threat. lening him with loss of work: If he holds 3 city. ljob the man who gives him the job cannot see him vote, nor know how he votes.
 It. was not So many years ago in this state, that workingmen going to the ballot box were lexpeeted to vote their tickets face up.
 It. would be very easy to return to the bad old times There are always men of influence who would like to go back to those days when workingmen were overawed by those in at1- thority over their jobs.
 This is why no serious assaults upon the secrecy of the ballots must ever be permitted This is why if was imperative that the illegal may, the criminal I'm ethods Of the special bonding election should De overthroWn.
 If the safeguards could be overthroWn in one election, they could be ignored in two elec- tiOns and in twenty.
 If one million dollars could be driven through after such fashion, twenty millions could be forced through after the same fashion. I The little twig would become a tree The first sin Of the tiny child would grow into poi sonous evil The illega1ity would became 6 l precedent the precedent would become a, GUS tom, and the custom would destroy the liberty I of the freeman.
 The next election will be held under the lsafeguards of law and justice.
 Do you want great debt MT. Voter? Then tvote forsit. < sE sas
 you opposed to a great debt? Then vote against it. 5slls 4
 BUT VOTE!
 I Do not 1etsit be said, by those who sheer lat peoples ruIe that the citizens Of Bridgeport are negligent of ehts, careless in per forming their duty as citizens I When the polls open on May i6, do not be the last to exercise your freeman's right.

 army in its occupation of Vera Cruz will throw some light frequently debated question: as to what grade of abilitYgthe Unit ed States is getting to fill the positions Of army officers.
 cal army officerai is martinet He is supposed to spend, his life in seeing that guard mount comes off precisely on time, and in ironing out the wrinkles from the sSrookies.''
 superficial view of West Point and other military schools would perhaps confirm this impression. The boys are subject to great rig Iidity Of discipline and study. One would think the cold hxity of daily routine would freeze out the warmer impulses of ambition and ori ginaI- |ity
 | It has sometimes been maintained that mil litary schools are not able to provide instructors Icapable of giving such mental stimulus as is found in the best colleges Too often they are young officers who must sit up nights to keep Ibare1y ahead of the boys they are teaching. Nevertheless, graduates of West Point and lis something in military life that lifts a fellow above any mere dull routine of ceremony The emphasis on neatness, physical erectness and efficiency the insistence on truth telling and avoidance of bad habits, turns out a very clean cut man. To this is added the inspiring nf1u- ence of heroic tradition that surrounds all mill tary education.
 Routine as army life may seem, somehow the army men seem able to rise to the occasion when some problem of human administration l is placed on them Having learned to obey, they seem to know how to command. Whether
 in the Philippines, Panama, Mexico, they
 give an impression of mental alertness and grasp of practical situations

$50 acres to lespedeza with untested
seed, and reports that he secured only
ten per cent termination, resulting in
entire loss of time, labor and seed.
Activity is greatest in the months of
December, January and February, dur

great deal of thought to the selection

ESSENTIALS OF BREAD MAKING
een GOD BREAD can be made from
u either good hard wheat flour

GeH WI On EN- ~ Cdu De Indue ITOHl
u either good hard wheat flour
or from good soft wheat flour, -
says Dean Henrietta Calvin of the Ore
gon Agricultural College, "but you
should know which you are using be-
cause they require different treatment.
Hard wheat flour may be made into y
soft dough, and if it is very hard wheat
then the bread should be kneaded down
several times. Soft wheat flour should
be made into a very stiff dough and the
bread will not need to rise more than
once before it is put into the pans.
Home made yeast is much better
than the dry yeast. Il can be likened to
the seed saved by good gardener from
his own healthy plants. When properly
prepared it contains millions of live,
growing, microscopic plants. Liquid
yeast can be kept in cool, dark place
about two weeks.
"Sweet milk is the best of all liquids
for bread making; 1t should be scalded
and then cooled. The micro-organisms
that cause sourness in milk are thus
heated until they all die. Milk bread
will be little yellow but its flavor is
better and it is more nutritious than
water bread. Water may be used in
stead of milk, however, and good bread
can be made with it.
Sugar is good yeast food. A little
added to the bread does not affect the
flavor of the bread but does quicken
the action of the yeast. Salt is used for
flavor. Such small quantity as is used
in bread does not materially retard the
growth of yeast but does whiten the
bread.
''Bread while rising must not be kept
too warm. More bread is spoiled by too
much heat than too little. Bread that
feels warm to the hand is too warm
The bacteria which cause sourness, and
gre to the bread baker as weeds are
to the gardener, grow rapidly in the
dough if it is quite warm"
The foregoing information in compre
hensive form, together with detailed
directions for making good and whole
some bread, is found in Extension Bul
letin Series 8, No. 20, Essentials OF
Bread Making" which may be had by
writing the Extension Division, 0. A. c.,

ART IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.


THAT public sentiment in America
will demand better and moro beau
tiful architecture, better planned
cities, more refinement in the furnish
|ings of homes and more art in dress
and daily surroundings, is the belief of
Miss Edna M. Flarida, instructor in
lart at the Oregon Agricultural College.
1T is the purpose of art in the public
schools to train the eiild to meet these
demands The child should be taught
to know the needs of cur people and
the finest ways of meeting those needs.
This is where the appreciation and ap-
plication of art principles are a vital
part Of the child IS training Apprecia-
tion of the beautiful :rd finer things
in life will make him happier, broader,
more liberal and an inspiration to his
fellow creatures. Thus it is that art is
for the many and not for the few.

Shall large combinations exists but
rather, In what form and under what

to get rid of the evils of the trust and
preserve the economics of consolidation.
One way to accomplish this is for the
state, by virtue of its police power, to
compel publicity, regulate prices, and

other method is for the masses to take
