One Of the good things of the
work % our Sunday school, and
worthy Of mention because Of the
pleasure and profit to the Second
Grade Junior girls, was the class
dinner given BY the teacher, Mrs
G. w. Yates, at her home last
Sunday. For a whole week the
girls were looking forward to the
event. Sunday morning Mr.. and
Mrs. Yates came into church and
Sunday school and then May
Agrell, Saddle johnson, Betty
Wade, Alice Harding, Fay Ras-
bach, and one girl whose name
4 cannot spell, took seats in the
sleigh with Mr.. and Mrs. Yates,
bound for the Yates home. When
once there the joy and good time

BENEFIT OF PROSPEROTs
NEWSPAPER TO COM
MJ1NITY.

Time was in this country when
the newspaper was looked upon
IS sort Of community ward.
Not many years ago the eoun-
try newspaper was regarded as a
pawn Of some prominent citizens
as sort Of organ to further their
political and financial interests.
In recent years, however. the
country newspaper has come to
be recognized for its own worth
to the community much in the
same light Is the butcher, the bak-
err the merchant, the banker. or
what not.
a country newspaper today
maintains its position IN the ranks
according to the measure Of its
industry and intelligence II Isl
regarded BIZ most people az an
entity sufficient unto itself and
It's community. It IS the CAPTAIN
Of It's own destiny.

WHAT is THE MATTER WITH
RAILROADS.

With capital abundant in our
country, with over two billion
dollars loaned abroad in 1916,
why is it American railroads have
been unable to secure new capt.
aIg
With the industries and cities
growing like Jon0h 5 g0urd, with
population and wealth increasing
as never before, there Is almost
no increase IN railroad mileage or
terminal facilities
1t IS q serious situation for a
great nation, with much undeveI-
oped territory and world prob
lens before it, to be weakest
where il should be strong.
We have federal commissions
and As state commissions to regu-
late railroads and yet during the
past year we had the worst ear
shortage IN history" Something
wrong.
State railroad commissions are
ughtlng Tor a supreme court de-
cision IN the Shreveport case to-
give them complete control Of
railroad business within state
lines.
For instance, in Utah. where ov-
er 80 per cent Of railroad mileage
is under interstate regulation,
politicians are clamoring for
state railroad commission.
Instead of extending the
authority of states over railroad |
Congress should exercised
its admitted power to limit state /
control within narrow bounds.

Making the people financial
partners in public utilities is a
new and popular movement.
The Northern States Power Co
has sold six per cent stock "a
several thousand customers the
past two years.
The Pacific Gas & Electric Co,
of California, successfully sold
millions OF dollars worth of its
six per cent stock 70 customers.
AT San Diego an entire issue Of
securities of the local gas and cleo
trie corporation was sold to the
people by II. NJ Bylleshy & Co.
The Grangeville Electric Light
& Power Co. has sold q large
amount of stock 90 It's customers
ON Nezperee and Camas prairie
and is DESTROYS of placing more
among its patrons.
This system opens the door TO
friendly cooperation between
conservative citizens and utility
concerns, instead of suspicious,
enviOus antagonists. Under this
plan utilities viii be managed
with a higher sense of devotion
TO the public service.

these properties and radical ae-

That there is a lamentable lack
Of fhoroushneSs in teaching es-
sentials in the public schools, is
50 true as 20 be almost an ak
iomafie criticism 1t can be prov
ed, readily and beyond eavil amy
time one wants to take the tr0ub-
lie to prove it. Take any number,
q half dozen. a dozen or a score or
more of boys and girls, selected
at random from the higher ele-
mentary grades and test them out
in reading, writing, spelling and
arithmetic, and there viii be no
lack of proof.
Parents are interested in the
cause of this, and from very pro-
fessional pride school authorities
should be as interested as parents,
and to the very proper purpose
OF correcting the fault, whatever
II may be.
In seeking for the cause we
have one fact IN mind that is to be
considered. For number 81
years the school policy has been to
pile on extras. Every school year
brings its Innovation which means
more subjects Of study, and
greater variety of professional
duties for the teacher. The sehoo;
day is no longer. The teaching
force is not increased e0mmenSur-
ately with the new duties. Some
where there has to be cutting OF
corners The corners are cut, be-
cause that course is made UNI
aviodable by the system, and the
loss is 60 the boys and girls who
attend the schools.
Keeping the frills well ironed.
50 to speak, the teacher gets be-
hind with essentials, and in order |
to meet all the requirements of
the system study periods are
omitted now and then in writing, |
in reading, IN arithmetic and in
spelling. There may be a vague
hope Of catching up later, but
that hope is not realized.
II principals and teachers were
free to speak out in honest erifi-
cism of the school system, they /
would readily admit this state of
affairs. They have the best of rea-
sons for knowing that it is a
state Of affairs which exist and
an attempt has been made here
and there to correct the evil Of It
by having a particular teacher
specialize IN an essential study,
by which the desired standard Of /
thoroughness IN teaching, at least,
could be better assured.
This manifest lack Of thorough
ness in teaching and in results de-
mands more comprehensive atten-
ton and treatment. We must
bring the school to a standard Of
dependable return for the money
they cost, and TO a more complete |
fulfllment Of the purpose for
which they are maintained So
far as they interfere with the es-
senfials, we should have done
with the frills.
It is incumbent on the schools
to maintain constant, high-grade
instruction in the fundamentals
IN which there IS mental training
IS well as the acquisition Of Just
that which is written IN the book.
The schools should devel0pe the
habit Of intensive thinking, and
he best preparedness for that is {
! thorough grounding in the sim
,les- The practice of cutting 7
he corners which the present sys- |
EN- imposes should be abandoned.
We have right to demand diff g
erent methods and more salts y
aetory results from the schools, P
nd we should insist on that de- $
nand.-PorfIand Telegram.

COMP ASSIONIS
Shown IN court

Generosity and compassion on the
part Of a 72-year-old complainant in
police court this morning won the
hearts Of the audience and freedom
for young Manuel Santos, a barten-
der, who had assaulted the old man.
c. NJ. Matte Of 1857 Aud lane was
the one who showed the flame Of hu-
man kindness He is a builder and
contractor and has been for about a
half century on the briny sailing as
first class cook between Honolulu and
the Pacific coast.
The trouble between Matte and
Santos is said to have originated when
the older man frowned upon the
younger paying attention to one of
the Matte girls. According to
story told by the prosecution Matte
warned Santos to stay away and in a
sudden squirt Of wrath the younger
one struck Matte.
The old man wears glasseB but
Santos IS said to have first snatched
these off. He tore things up general
ly around the Matte place, but this
morning he promised to pay all dam
ages.
Consequently, when he promised to
keep out Of the Matte yard the latter
asked that he be given suspended

NAMES STRANGE

Sheriff Rose was confronted with
remarkable situation early this week
that brought politics and his authority
as sheriff to a converging test.
Every morning early, first-timers
who have partaken too freely the nigh;
before Of the fiery fluids are arraigned
before him. If they are sober and
promise to be good in the future the
sheriff releases them. Imagine his
surprise and CONSERVATION when he
was confronted in the rather dishevel-
ed array by two offenders, namely
Hopkins and Rose
1t is not necessary to state here
what their first names are The sher-
if does not say when he tells the
story. Suffice that they resembled the
two candidates for sheriff by their sur
names.
Rose-the sheriff-might have done
lots Of things in such an emergency.
He could have shown his preference
TO his namesake and penalized the 9TH
er for daring to travel under the same
name as one who has dared to try
ousting him from office But he did
neither.
Whether the two will vote their
own names on the ticket June the
sheriff does not know, but he is sure
of one thing, They will both be free
to voice their preference. He ordered
q discharge in both instances.
