DEVELOPING PUBLIC CONSCIENCE.

One of the latest and slowest developments
of nations, cities, social groups is consideration
on the part of the individual for the rights and
interests of the whole. When this sense Of the
duty of the citizen to the group OF which he IS
q member comes to be generally or widely felt,
the community may be said to have developed
a social or public conscience.
This characteristic is practically non-exlst
ent among backward peoples, and not until the
times we speak Of somewhat vaguely as mod
ern did any city Of a civilized state show more
than a rudimentary beginning Of it. All the
cities of a not remote past were much like
oriental cities of today in this respect, that their
streets were offensive and all but impossible by
reason of the gathering filth thrown into them
bv their inhabitants; and even in the London
or Paris of three centuries ago the wayfarer,
especially at night, had to pick his path
through streets that were noisome cutters and
ran the risk of being deluged with refuse
thrown from a window at any time. Modern
municipalities have ended this by ordinance en-
forcement and public scavengers and sweepers.
But the difference is still apparent between
citizens who have developed public conscience
and those who have not The man who has this
public conscience will, for example, kick to the
curb broken glass that might cut a foot or
hoof or vehicle tire. He does not spit upon
the sidewalk, litter the street, iniure the flow
ers or trample the heritage in the parks, but lie
feels the obligation resting on him as a citizen
to make and keep his city attractive and clean
As he develops more of the civic conscious
ness and conscience he becomes more public

spirited He begins to feel that the quasi public
institutions of his city, its charities and phllan-
thropies, its orphanages and all its general well
fare activities belong in a sense to him and have
right to depend on him for such reasonable
measure of support he can give. lie comes
to realize that he increases his self-respect and
satisfaction by doing his part, contributing his
share to their maintenance. So doing, he gets
a new sense of his worth as citizen and I'M
portance as a factor in the community life. lie
feels that he is paying his way no less than the
citizen who can give thousand times as much.
For it is not the size Of the contribution but the
sacrifice it calls for which is the measure OF the
gift.

TODAY'S BIZ OF VERSE
THE THISTLE FLOWER.

My homely flower that blooms along
The dry and dusty ways,
/ have mind to make a song,
And make it in thy praise;
For thou art favored OF my heart
Humble and outcast as thou art
Though never with the plants of grace
In garden borders set
Full often have seen thy face
With tender tear-drops wet, a.
And soon thy gray and ragged-sleeves IL
All wringing with them, morns and ewes. ~ y
Albeit thou Invest in bush 4fE!
OF such unsightly form
Thou hast not any need TO blush
Thou hast thine own sweet charm;
And for that charm l love thee so,
And not for any outward show.
The iron-weed, so straight and fine,
Above thy head may rise,
And all in blossy purple shine;
But to my partial eyes
II cannot harm thee-thou hast still
4 place no finer flower can fill.
The feneel, she is courted at
The porch-side and the door
Thou hast no lovers, and for that
love thee all the more;
Only wind and rain to be
Thy friends and keep thee company.
So. being left to take thine ease
Behind thy thorny wall.
Thy little head with vanities
Has not been turned at all
And all field beauties give me grace
To praise thee to thy very face.

THE DIFFERENT AUsTRIANs.

| The Austrian delegates to the peace confer
lence show different spirit from the Prusslans
They do not buster whimper; they neither
rage nor cringe, but have made a rather sue
lcessful effort to deport themselves with court
Iesy and tact. Hence they have been better re-
Iceived at Paris and while the terms they must
accept are hard, they viii lose nothing by being
lgentlemanly if not cheerful losers and may gam
much The request of the German commission
lers to meet the Austrian delegation was denied
Inv the allies: and it is not without significance
that the Austrians have made no similar re-
quest They seem to have no wish to meet the
Prussans but to be quite content to negotiate
separately with the victorious powers. In this
their attitude is partly temperamental. The
south Germans have never been considered as
a people, so arrogant and odious as the Prus-
lsians; and there is said to be a growing feeling
lin Vienna that Austria would be better to go
her way alone, and that to unite with Germany
would be to buy into bankrupt concern, which
has not even good will left with which to start
anew but only devastation and debts.
Reports that the wartime admiration be-
tween the French people and American soldiers
has waned brought statement from Marshall
Joffres' aide in which he says: 'The original
cause of misunderstanding is that Mr. Wilson
has too good a heart and thinks that the Ger
mans belong to the human race, whereas they
are only sort of mixture of tiger and snake. !"
Too good heart? Perhaps Mr. Wilson would
feel different had he come in personal contact

WHERE SHALL THE CHILL
DREN PLAY?

~ HERE was a time in PEN
W. dleton as in other towns
when it was perfectly
safe for children to play in the
streets. That time is past. The
motor car makes the street a
dangerous place for them.
Romping and running they are
apt to get in the very path of an
oncoming car.
But what are the little ones
going to do? Are they to sit
still and suck their thumbs? No
There should be Fairgrounds
for them, so that they may
have supervised play under
conditions that will insure their
safety and their god training.
Pendleton should have three
or four Fairgrounds in various
parts of the city where children
may play at certain hours un-
der supervision. The play
grounds may be secured very
easily and the supervision will
not cost much. This work
might properly be conducted
by the city or by the school or
ganization, even during the
summer months. If esta blished
the work will be cordially sup
ported by the home people of
the city. If public funds are
not available a subscription
could be easily raised for the
purpose.
The children should have
ample places to play.

SHANTUNG

~ OST of the talk about
JUk Shantung is pure and
simple demagogy re-
sorted to by league opponents
in hope of arousing prejudice
on the Japanese question. The
peace conference did not take
Shantung from China ard give
it to Japan. Neither has Japan
taken that territory from China
Japan took Shantung from Ger
many, by force of arms early in
the war. Germany had held
the territory for nearly 20
years. China has simply had a
change of occupants. But the
point our obstructionists over
look is that the peace confer
ence insisted on a promise from
Japan that she will restore
Shantung to China. Japan has
agreed TO do by Itself what it
did not wish to be forced to do.
As the island kingdom has a
reputation for keeping its inter-
national l'rnn lses Il Gay be
presumed Shanturg will IN dc
time go back to China.
