sions.
Opposition to the Ferris bill
is purely selfish and when
stripped of sophistry and
flimflam there is nothing left
for them to cling to. There
are no legitimate objections to
the bill so the ghost of state
rights is dragged into use by a
coterie that heretofore has al
ways spoken with derision of
that doctrine.
If the senate follows the lead
Of the house and passes the
Ferris bill it will be one of the
greatest pieces of constructive
legislation in many years,
From a western standpoint it
will be one Of the administra-
tion's real achievements.
But it will not be branded as
such by the tory press or the
old line politicians. All the
bootwipers for special privi-
lege will howl against the law
and try to misrepresent its
workings. But people should
not be deceived by their course.
If the electric interests, their
lawyers, politicians and news
papers favored the bill, then it
would be time for the general
public to look out.

Courage More Important Than Funds

Many business men would advise
this lad not to go to college They
would say to him You cant af-
ford it, such men have no capacity
to see a debt as an investment.
They do not realize that the great
est investments that have ever been
made have originally been debts
They see only the difficulty and do
not realize that a wise lad reduces
a difficulty to its simple elements or
pays no attention to it whatever,
A story is told of the Wright broth
ers do not know whether II is
true or not, If it is not true, It ought
to be true. When Wilbur and Oryi!le
Wright were lads they worked in
their fathers back yard in Dayton,
Ohio, on various mechanical devices,
spurred on by the ambition that they
might some day make a flying ma
chine An old neighbor noticed tho
boys working He would occasional
~ come and watch them one day
the old enighbor said to wilbur:
Wilbur, don't you know that no
body ever did make a flying ma
chine? ?"
Wilbur reflected and made no re-
ply. After a moment the old gentle
man continued:
Wilbur don't you know that mo-
body ever will make flying ma
chine?"
Still no reply from Wilbur And
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-01-12

then finally, as If to settle the whole
matter:
wilbur, II anybody ever did make
a flying machine, It wouldn't be any
body In Dayton"
That remark finished the neighbor,
but the flying machine was built and
new mechanical world was created
1t isn't every lad that can achieve
the impossible" as the Wright
brothers did. but every lad with
common sense and an adequate am
cunt of that indefinable quality
known AS "gumption" can find
way to 20 to college. and il he goes
to college he viii ultimately achieve
success. Better still he will nc
achieving success all the time Sue
cess is process He will capitalize
md recapitallze his debts and his
capabilities and bring back to him
self many satisfactlons and give them
in turn back to the world
Once William James, In beginning
his course in Harvard, said to the
students who filled his lecture room
something like this
Possibly there are no geniuses In
this room. I hope there's none, but
everyone who is here, II he works
hard If he gets a Job, II he persists
when he is forty years OF age will
be a useful and respected man in his
community"
The lads who are fit to go to col
lege are not primarily the ones who
have resources, not the ones who
have genius, but the ones regardless
of resources and genius. who have the
will to achieve.

DIET AND HEALTH

n HERE are some who be-
W lieve that grippe can be
avoided by proper diet
ing. Whether that is true or
not it is at least a demonstrat-
ed fact that improper diet has
much to do with disease.
Through investigations into
the cause of pellagra the Uni
ted States government has
brought some interesting things
to light. 1t has been demonstra-
ted thoroughly that pellagra
is a dietary disease. 1t pre-
walls among poor people in the
south and is due to the eating
of too much corn, corn syrup,
molasses and fats (sow belly).
The remedy is to feed patients
on eggs, milk, meats. peas and
beans. When that treatment
is given they recover. No medi-
cine whatever is required.
Nor is pellagra the only dis
case originating from dietary
causes. Beri beri is equally
pronounced as due to too much
reliance on one sort of food.
Now if these dread ailments
are traceable to food faults it
follows logically that there are
innumerable lesser complaints
cue to dietary errors Of a less
serious nature. Unquestion-
ably an immense percentage Of
illness is due directly or indi-
lectly to the fact people eat
too much or too little or have
poorly balanced raiOns.
What an argument for in.
struction in the science Of feed
ing. How fortunate that after
many centuries our schools
have awakened to the fact
that the study Of the food table
is one of extreme Importance
for girls who are to the future
wives and mothers Of the ma
ton.

WHY THEY OPPOSE 1T

m HERE is not the slightest
" reason for criticism OF
the Ferris bill on the
ground it is unfair to western
states. Under the proposed
law all money received from
lessees goes into the reclama-
zion fund and will be expended
in the west. The federal gov
eminent takes nothing.
Wherever states maintain
regulatory commissions having
adequate powers TO control
prices the regulation Of cleo
tric charges will rest with the
states. Where the states do
not have such commissions
the regulatory power will
rest with the interior depart
ment.
The chief feature Of the law
is that il provides for the leas-
ing OF power sites instead Of
giving such sites outright to
private electric interests. In
other words the bill protects
the public welfare, as it should.
The opposition to the bin
arises from private interests
that believe in the system Of
obtaining rights in prepetuity
rather than in the leasing plan.
There is also opposition be-

cause so many former rabbit

Either the pest has become
bad in Australia or they have
developed rabbit stories more
thoroughly than we have.

Some weeks ago l sat near four
lads in a railroad car en- route from
Northampton, Mass. TO Springfield.
Their conversation indicated that they
were in the last year of high
school course.
They were discussing the prospects
OF next year in college. Three of the
lads had chosen the same college.
One had chosen Harvard college
They were eager, quick -witted lads,
alive to the problems of college and
the future.
Their speech indicated that their
resources were slender. Three were
urging the fourth to come along ~
but the fourth had made up his
mind and finally declared warmly:
I'm going to Harvard if it takes the

of the health service of the Pennsylva-

abrasions, saying that physicians now
recognize iodine as one of the best ma
terials known for preventing infection
and bloodpoisoning.
According to DR.. Forsythe, in the
European war iodine is now being used
for wounds almost to the exclusion of
other antiseptics.. A single shipment
of 10000 pounds of the pure crystal was
sent to one government for hospital
use, he said.
Iodine should be useful around the
barn" he added, for dressing wounds
on livestock 1t is especially valuable
to prevent development of lockia
from wounds containing stable and

ture of iodine at one-half the usual
strength, i. e., five per cent, or weaker.

REVIEW OF

A Bill Without Ups and Downs,
Evenly Good, Clean

II the bill at the Majestic for the last
half of the week isn't the best of the
season, it runs such a close second
that it wouldn't be safe to take a vote.
Provided, of course, one cares for vau-
deville, there isn't a thing to which
even the most particular could take
exception. The bill starts well with
comedy acrobatic act by Martinetti and
not only good comedy but a number of
the more difficult tumbling accomplish
ments. Next on the bill is Josephine

cleverly done limitations of Belle Baker
and, Harry Lauder, Frank and Eldri

certainly unique, not only in presenta-
tion but in theme and variety. Moore,
Gardner and Rose are a clever singing
the bill with harmony and wit; easily
their best number is a genuinely
screaming parody on the Miserere from
| "Trovatore" The bill is completed
with a small-sized symphony program
by the Sixteen Navassar Girls. under the
purely musical act from an orchestra
of fourteen pieces, the work of which
is truly masterful and pleasing to the
highest degree. Orchestral numbers
are supplemented with a charming
sextet Of poise and harmony. And what
