In the experiments carried on with

them being unfit for table use, In

injury was limitedsto a few kernels

Oregon Editor
Speaks Forcibly

Oregon Building, Panama-Pacific
Exposition.-The most forcible utter
ance before the International Press
Congress was that Of Edgar B. Piper
of the Oregonian, who protested Wig
orously against the state and govern
ment laws that 90 far to restrict the
real usefulness and service of the
newspapers of the land. In the con-
fidence that the real intent of the
increasing restrictions imposed is to
create a bureaucratic means of CEN
sorship and oppression, Mr.. Piper
urged newspaper men and organiza-
tions to stand firmly against all the
men and measures that would make
the newspapers of the United States
take on the paleness of the unfortu-
nate European press now mere pho
nographic voices Of autocratic gov
eminent" Insisting that the poll
tician desires nothing so much as the
control of the newspapers, and the
the office-holder is, after all, too fire.
quently but a translated politician,
the oregonian editor urged that the
government and the state, as repre-
sented by the office-holder, should
not have the power to determine the
precise conditions upon which a par
ticular item or article may be printed.
He denied the legal or moral right
of the government to say that this
matter shall go in the advertising
columns, or that in the news col
umns, or the other on the editorial
page. At the present time no news
paper is free from the menace of an
official censorship and the penalties
of fine or exclusion from the mails;
no longer has any newspaper man the
right to conduct his paper in any

great measure as he might determine,
and obnoxious law makes the news
papers as class appear as dishonest,
their columns filled with that which
is tainted, untruthful or otherwise in
famous. Mr.. Piper denied the right
of the government or the state to
place the newspapers and the public
at such disadvantage and he urged
newspaper men to be alert that the
necessary freedom of the press shall
not be wiped out altogether. In clos
ing an address that made a profound
impression and started definite action
against further encroachment, Mr.
Piper said:
81 make no objection to the re-
quirement that all daily newspapers
shall print semi-annually statements
of their average circulation and the
names of their editors, publishers,
bondholders and other public credit
ors-and all other pertinent facts
about these publications; neither do
| proclaim the right of newspaper
to print what it pleases, when it
pleases and where it pleases, but | do
repudiate the implied assumption and
exercise by government of the func-
ton of newspaper administration in
detail. The newspaper daily and
weekly is responsible to its public
for the honest presentation of the
news and for the integrity and value
of its editorial utterances. There is
certain infallible public instinct
intangible but nevertheless real
" hich determines the worth of any
newspaper, and which far surpasses
any statutory rule as guide and
mentor for newspaper conduct. Much
may be safely left to the public intui-
ton. and the public understanding.
The newspapers know, if your public
official does not, for they are re-
strained and corrected by it all the
time"

TWenty-Six Cars
In Last Month

Despite so-called hard times and
the fact that June and July are the
poorest months in Jackson county on
account of the large amounts spent
for care of fruit, the county was fifth
in the number of new automobiles
registered. The good roads have re-
suited in the buying CT dozens Of
cars which would not have been sold
otherwise. Jackson county ranks
well at the front in number of cars
owned in proportion to population.
In the thirty days ending July 10
motor cars were registered for total
OF 1,1Ol in the state of Ore
gon, of which 675 we're new cars
and 42G old machines, according to
figures compiled by NJ. o. wilkins,
publisher of the Automobile Record.
The number of machines registered
in the state last year was 16,S47, and
the number of cars added since the
first OF the current year is 4,52S,
making the theoretical number of
cars in the state at present 20,S75,
while the actual registration on July
Is was 20,S14. During the thirty
day period ending May Is, 1,161 cars
secured license tags. At an average
of $500, the new cars registered dur
ing the past thirty days added S472,-
900 to the assessable wealth of the
state.
Some highly interesting facts are
brought to light in a table showing
the registrations by counties, togeth-
er with population figures. Several
of the smaller counties from a popu-
lation basis count high when it comes
to buying cars. Good roads or a
more progressive spirit accounts in
some instances for the disproportion-
ate consumption.

showing new cars licensed in the past
thirty days, toge her with population

Powdered Arsenate for the Corn

From valuable plots of sweet corn,
popcorn or of field corn desired for
seed, where only perfect ears are
readily salable, one may get from
10 to 80 per cent of clean ears, free
from worms, by the use of powdered
arsenate of lead. Many growers, in
recent years, have found the clean
ear of corn the exception and the
wormy ear the rule. Where the in

Points
for
Mothers

Moral FaiIings of Nervous Children.
Stealing is not as common as I'M
truthfuIness and usually takes the
mild form Of the pilfering Of jellies or
sweets. Thus frequently we find the
physical basis right there In the de-
mand Of the system for more sugar.
Some children will take from others
what they consider trihes merely from
a. desire to possess and would not
think of appropriating anything Of
great value. Such a child does not
consider this a form OF theft and II
rudely awakened to the fact that 1t is
will suffer marked nervous shock In
a hysterical desire to ingratiate them
selves with parents or teachers some
children will steal money and other
valuables, but always with a desire to
give Il to others and reserve none for
themselves.
Now, in dealing with any OF these
forms Of theft the child must not be
accused Of being a thief; neither must
his act be called theft 1t must be
clearly shown to him that the act Is
not right; that he has no right to any
thing which belongs to another, and
then the promise may be exacted that
he will respect these rights in the fu-
ture. The child should not be i'm
pressed with the full gravity Of the Of
tense because he will then be In dread
of the punishment which he sees met
ed out to ordinary thieves. But the
parent must not overlook even appar,
emily harmless pilfering Of sweets A
continuance of such habits may lead
to the taking of valuables, and it must
be checked as soon as possible.

When This Shrub Blossoms Summer 10

The magnificent magnolias spread
their languid petals so early, while the
trees are yet bare, that one fears 1t Is
all too good to be true. But with the
delicious dOgwoOds it Is another story.
One knows summer Is practically here.
And the dOgwOOds are not only charm
ing when their snowy sheets are spread;
their foliage Is vivid in the fan, a
glorious crimson. and the berries are
even more richly tinted Unfortunate

a tree and devour every blossom Like
many other shrubs, its buds for the fol-
lowing year will be set this autumn
Even prettier than this dogwood Is the
pink towering variety, but while the
color Is wonderful the form Is not as
characteristic.
The round topped, upward branching
red maple Is superb against a very
blue sky. Then the dark gray bark
looks black and the crimson blossoms,
which grow on short pedicels, seem
more nan ever brilliant In Georgia
and Florida these blossoms are a su-
perb sight In March and a delight to
the northerner because they come so
early.
One need not be forever looking aloft,
however. Right down In the grass are
floral riches a-pIenty. The first Ia
vorite, no doubt, is the violet the dear
modest little violet. which everybody
loves and which blossoms everywhere.
The little blue hepatica was one OF
the floral early buds; likewise the
ptnky and exquisite arbutus, which
some call the mayhOwer. In April and
May the blOodroot is found, its pure
white golden hearted blossoms being
as lovely as the juice OF its root stock
