WHILE WE WAIT

. 0 long as the United
- States senate continues
~ its present policy of
sampling this and sampling
that and leaving dirty dishes
the people whom those SO men
represent will pay the bill and
pay dearly. The quibbling
over the peace treaty is the
finest opening in the world for
the many agencies of opposi-
ton to organized government
to get in their work and it is
showing in the almost daily
outbreaks throughout the coun-
try.
Closing up the books of war
will allow the United States to
start on a clean sheet. While
this country is held up by a
group of political hagglers, the
other nations are reestablish-
ing trade routes, aligning rich
commercial relations and re-
constructing at home. The
industrial condition of this
country is chaos today
more hopeless than lack of
preparedness found it at the
opening of the war.
Under the present admins
tration America has been pro-
vided with a merchant marine.
1t cost a huge sum because of
its being built in war time.
What will pay for that mer-
chant marine if all the COM
merce of the world is absorbed
by the other nations while a |
handful of men haggle over
and other techni-
calities?

OREGON'S TEACHERS

/ ~ NE hundred and forty
uV persons in Polk county
" took the state teachers
examinations at Dallas last
June and 16 made passing
grades. On such a basis, be-
tween IL and II per cent of
those available for teaching
material in one of Oregon's i'm
portant counties meet require
ments.
So long as Oregon continues
to sit by with one small nor
NAL school, located, by the
way, in an old fashioned town
in Polk county, there will be
more or less such a condition
throughout the state. The
state board of education has
heard the cry of the people for
advancement in education and
has made requirements strict
enough that only very few
other than normal graduates
can qualify.
The legislature, however,
has failed to see the light and
seems content to essay supply
ing the state with the product
from one normal school in a
veritable village. Pendleton
has worked long and hard to
have a normal school estab-
lished here and offers every
thing that could be asked. If
the legislature wants something
besides the suffrage amend
ments to consider in its pro-
posed special session, for
heavens sake turn it loose on
the states teaching problem.

POPULATIONS

- HE fashionable family
I(DL of the English speaking
~ peoples is an automobile
and a poodle dog, according to
definition by a free lance COM
mentator writing to Portland
newspaper. His rather point
ed statement sums up a disser-
tation on race suicide among
the white peoples.
While the American family
is small, compared to that of
the colored races and some
white peoples, it is by no means
+, a passing institution. Race
suicide has not yet come to the
point where the American
people are a decadent one and
the proof that American youths
are strong and virile was fur
nished a plenty when they
matched strength and brains
with their German foes.
Germany is an example of
the nation which has a high
birthrate. By a system of eu-
genics comparable to that in
vogue in the animal world,
Germany essayed to develop a
race of supermen that would
rule the world. Large families,
however, meant lesser oppor-
tunity for development of the
children and ere long Germany
found itself so crowded as to
be forced into expansion of
some kind.
American families are small
because of the standard of liv-
ing and the advantages given
the average American child.
The lower animals have multi
tudes of offspring because
their chance of survival is
slight. The higher animals
and man are subservient to
that same law of nature and
reproduction is limited because
the mortality is low.
An automobile and a poodle
dog may be characteristic of a
good many American families,
but the prevalence of such a
condition is not alarming as
yet. Better a population which
can exist on the products of its
own land, maintain itself and
keep peace than a population
growing so rapidly that in
it's despair to find room to live
and food to eat it rs imbued
with the spirit of conquest by
war.

not quite as important as how
the nations transportation sys,
tenn shall be run. The words
which the big five spoke in the
peace conference are not what
requires ratification so much
as the document which evolved
from those words.
A multitude of sins await
ablution by the restoration of a
signed peace. A ratified trea-
ty will result in fewer strikes,
better labor and producing
conditions, less unrest in the
country. The senate would do
well to finish the one big job
it has and then, if the others
reappear, settle them.

EXPORTS OF FOODSTUFFS

I'm view of the agitation
4 over the high prices for
- food it is interesting to
note that in the month of June,
according to the figures of the
Department of Commerce,
40 per cent of the total ex-
ports for June, amounting to
$898,000,000, was food. Six
teen million bushels of wheat
and 100000 barrels of wheat
flour were exported during the
month, besides 100000
bushels of rye, 100000 BUSH
els of barley and other grains
and grain products valued at
$17,00O,000. More than STA
100000 worth of meats and
dairy products were exported,
the principal items being 270,-
100000 pounds of bacon and
ham, 117,000,000 pounds of
lard and lis, 100000 pounds
of condensed milk.
In addition to these were raw
materials of various kinds, all
food products. 1t is useless to
boast of a large increase in for
eign trade as a sign Of prosper
ity when our own people can
not buy and consume sufficient
to keep them from want.

Crimes of every variety are

ing blamed for the failure OF
remedial measures in many
ways being taken. The future
of the whole world looks dubi-
Gus.
The United States is still the
most enlightened of nations. 1t

nations as a deliverer from the
Hun curse and it delivered. 1t
is now looked to as a keeper of
the peace as part of the
League of Nations. While the
United States allows the ulti-
mate peace to be juggled at
the finger tips of a few wilful
men, the bright hopes for the
worlds future remain yelled.
Civilization is in a defensive
fight for its life and the United
States senate can be it's right
arm if it will. The League of
Nations covenant is the hope of
the world and that hope rests

A GREAT INDUSTRY

~ WO million passenger
IL autos, 100000 trucks
~ and about an equal
number of motorcycles repre-
sents the total output predicted
for the motor industry in the
United States for this year.
Twenty years ago the automo-
bile industry was less develop
ed than is that of commercial
airplanes today.
One car is being produced
for every so of this country's
population, according to the
figures. Umatilla county has
one car for every seven of it's
population, or seven times the
average of production this
year. 1t will probably not be
long before airplanes are just
as plentiful.
In spite of the great produc-
tion of motor vehicles this year,
the country is 100000 autos
short of the demand today. 1t
is no wonder that in 20 years
the industry has grown to be
the country's third greatest.

no, no!
unnecessary noises have been
listed as taboo by the city fathers.
Persons keeping raucous voiced
animals within the city limits are
liable to a fine of SO upon con-
viction for maintaining such nui-
sances. Ringing of bells, bow
ing of whistles or horns, shrek
ing of sirens and such noises in
excess except for the purpose of
calling persons to church, school
or to work, isn't proper. Run
ming motor vehicles with mufflcrs
cut out so that the bur of the
motor makes music for the driv-
ers ears, is also good for a $40
fine upon conviction.
Ten dollars is not all. That is
for first offenses. Subsequent
offenses require a fine of $25. The

ment and make the first a Jail

LODGES STAND

80 OUR years ago Senator
III Lodge of Massachusetts,
- talked in favor of world
peace. Today that same sena-
tor is the bar to the door which
needs only the unrestrained
hand of the United States to
open. In four years this man,
leader of his party, has swung
from the olive branch to the
implacable oak that big sticks
any plan such as the league of
nations covenant provides.
In 1915 Senator Lodge said ::
"The great nations must be
SO united as to be able to say
to any single country, You
must not go to war;, and they
can only say that effectively
when the country desiring war
knows that the force which the
united nations place behind
peace is irresistible"
One week ago today he said:
Leave the United States to
march freely through the CEN
turies to come as in the years
that have gone"
And again his words of four
years ago are recalled when he
said:
1T may seem utopian at
this moment to suggest a union
of civilized nations in order to
put a controlling force behind
the maintenance of peace and
international order; but it is
through the aspiration for per-
fection, through the search for
utopias, that the real advances
have been made. At all events,
it is along this path that we
must travel if we are to attain
the end we all desire of peace
upon earth"
An old adage says that only
fools and the dead never
change their opinions. The
senator from Massachusetts
may prove to be the exception
to that truth, for a man who
can see advantages in war
when the tool for the ultimate
fashioning of world peace is
placed in our hands is either
dead to the centuries-old de-
sire of peoples or guilty of the
most exaggerated folly.
Senator Lodge has turned
mental somersault. 1t looks
now like his head is below and
his feet above and, like an os-
trich, his head has found a
hole in the sand and is buried
there.

CIVILIZATIONS HOPE

~ S civilization due for a
4 crash or are the world s
- peoples evolving into a
new state, neither savage, bar
barrie or civilized? The evil
dences of civilization as known
to the present generation are
rapidly vanishing in almost
every part of the globe. What
is to be the next development
is interesting matter for con-
lecture.
Greed is becoming one of the
ruling passions of the worlds
populace. 1t appears in natl
ons, reaching out for lands to
exploit commercially. These
exploitations often take on the
form of conquest, if not by ac-
tual warfare by means almost
as deadly. Greed is also a
personal or group characteris-
tic growing upon people. The
profiteer is an example of this.
A few persons would hold the
destinies of their nation or the
world in the palm of their
hands.
Distrust and suspicion, envy
and aspiration are growing.
Nations are binding together by
pacts and secret treaties and |
peoples crying for self determi-
nation are threatening civil
war to obtain their freedom.

opinion approves of interven-
ton. The treaty undertakes to
separate millions of people
from their nationals and place
them under the jurisdiction of
new states Of different racial
strains. The treaty multiplies
the number of potential AL
sace-Lorraines by ten. If these
forcibly created racial minori-
ties have their rights properly
safeguarded, if they are treat
ed as equals before the law, if
they are given linguistic and
religious freedom, the wound
will heal in time and the diff
ferent races will get along as
well together as the French,
German and Italian elements
of Switzerland.
