That statement by the fremen of
Boston speaks such assurance to the
general public that it merits place in
the records of American statesmen. To
place public safety above personal sell
fishness is about as good patriotism as
can be found in any class of society
and the fremen have shown themselves
to be true patriots.

Increased wages increase the cost of

cannot get away from that fact.

Let some of this acreage talk in
farming be dropped and let IS
go and do some square feet farming on
a stone road near a passing market
with a driveway to your door and the
ability to sell your produce as well as
raise it, and more will be done with a
small amount of money and a lot of
brains mixed with it, and more will
be accomplished in the end than all the
millions of dollars and politicians can
do IN thousand years.
We submit that Mr.. Doubtfre didn't
miss fire when he shot out these ideas
about New England land and methods
of cultivation. We repeat our state
mat that it is not more cultivation of
poor land that New England needs but
better farming of its best lands.

TWO IDEAS ABOUT LAND.

Development of rural life, greater
food production and kindred topics are
receiving much attention William E.
Smythe writing in the September mum
Der of the American Review of Reviews
calls attention TO the large amount of
abandoned farm land in New England
stating that between 1860 and 1910 the
area under cultivation declined from
100000 to 100000 acres and that
New England is importing three fourths
of its food. Mr.. Smythe SAYS we have
not far to go before witnessing the ex-
tinction of rural life in New England
He is confident, however, this NAV be
averted because some men of New Eng
land have ga vision of abandoned
farms reoccupied and brought under
the highest methods of cultivation, of
great stretches of woodlands cleared
and made to bear crops, of lowlands
drained and converted into rich gar
dens, of cities expanded into the sub
urbs, with the aid of good roads and
electric transportation, filed with the
happy homes of industrial workers.
whose children shall romp in the sun
shine. -
Rather . pleasant vision is this, the
vision of trained mind, we suspect.
Here are the suggestions of Charles Z.
Doubtfre of Centerville, Mass, in a
letter to Springfield paper:
An abandoned farm is most always
found on an abandoned road and the
farm was abandoned for the reason
that the road was bad, and the farmer
finding his income was smaller than his
outgo, his methods changed from a
farmer to a miner; that is, he began to
take all the good from the soil until it
was exhausted, and then followed the
line of least resistance and either
moved away or died.

HP HE East Oregonian is
VI heartily in line with the
proposal for a local cor
poration to aid home building.
1t is a splendid move and can
be made to result in wonderful
good to the city. The men who
will be in charge may be count
ed upon to handle the details
of administration. There is
no occasion for trouble.
This newspaper is unable,
however, to agree with the pes
simism of its local contempor-
ary over investments in local
property, particularly apart
ment property. Quite a few
people have made such invest
ments here, in a moderate way.
All reports show they are max
ing good profits.

discourage Others who may

be provided if the growth of
the city is not to be stunted.
There is more danger of fall
ing short than of OVERRIDING
building in Pendleton. There
is more danger from super
conservatism than from super
enthusiasm. This because the
city is growing and by no
means has reached its limit.

"STAND BACK, MR.. Dis
PATCHER"

~ HE Portland boys on the
VI train of wounded men
yesterday had a right to
be routed through Portland on
their way to Camp Lewis and
the concession made at their
request was a victory for com
mon sense.
The returning soldier from
overseas is no ordinary passen-
ger. He is a national guest
and should be so treated. He
comes from mud and she'll hole
where but a short time ago he
worked and fought with dark
prospects ahead for personal
safety. As he risked his life
for his country he was no
doubt bouyed up by the thought
his sacrifice was for the home
land and that on his return, if
he should return, he would
find reward in the smiles and
cheers of appreciative and en-
thusiastic friends.
We may safely assume our
soldiers held such thoughts, 1t
would be only human. Blythe
same logic it would be inhuman
for us to deny the returning
fighter the reward that is due
him. We have a right to say
to busy train dispatchers or
other railroad officials:
Back up, have some feeling,
give these men what they de-
sire and don't be too technical
about it.

THE SANE MIDDLE GROUND

SWP HE situation that has de-
VI veloped at the peace
conference is a wholly
natural one. The French
lived so long in terror of Ger
many and had to fight so hard
for existence that it is easy for
them to become obscessed
with the one idea of defense.
1t is easy for them to overesti-
mate what is needed to safe
guard the future. They are
pardonable in this, matter but
the fact remains that the Eng
lish and American representa-
tfves are in better position than
the French to Judge as to the
general situation. There is
need of coolheadedness and of
a broad minded arrangement
that will prevent future wars.
The sane middle course is the
safe one and apparently Presi-
dent Wilson and the English
are intent upon this route.
Their work may cause some
criticism from over Jealous
Frenchmen but time will prove
they are right.
