Children Not
Sighted, Report

Paris, Oct. 15.-In no country in
the world do the public authorities
take more care of the children of
workmen than in Russia, says
Marcel Cachin, French Communist
leader. All efforts are tended to-
ward the education of young ones.
The Moscow authorities have real
lied their grandiose aim of giving
all Russian children the possibility
of undertaking and enjoying and
enjoying science, art and intelli-
gence. OF only is the education OF
children sought, but in many in
stances the further education of
grown-ups completed. That which
particularly attracts ones atten-
ton is the fact that Commissioner
Lounacharsky, of the Art Soviet,
has granted to all artists privileged
conditions of life. Musicians, sing
ers. dancers, actors, and drama-
lists, painters and sculptors occu-
py the highest positions.
Never before have there been so
many theatres in Russia. Never De-
fore have the Russian people en-
joyed so many artistic performan-
ces. The audience is now entirely
made up of working classes. the
actors and performers are of the
working class. The most popular
of plays given in MOSCOW are those
of Moiiere and Shakespeare. New
and old Russian authors and play
wrights are also in favor. Admis-
sion to the theatres Is free. Tick
cts are distributed by the various
unions.
All the performers are called up
on to play exclusively to the WORK
lag class.

The effect produced by the

Bad Bill Steers
ToDon Oregon
Uniform Again

Exclusive to The Capital Journal.)
The Dalles, Or, Oct. 15.-"Bad
Bill" Steers, proclaimed by critics
to be the greatest football player
ever developed west of the Missis-
sippi, will return to the University
of Oregon to captain the 1920
lemon yellow machine against its
opponents.
This became known this after
noon after delegation of friends
from the university had visited
Steers at his home here. The Ore
gon quarterback will be back on
the Eugene gridiron as soon as his
affairs here can be Strengthened
out He was already well started
in the season as coach of The Dali
les high school eleven. Mathew
Duffy, who was a member of the
Oregon freshman string last season
will likely succeed Steers as mentor
of the local aggregation.
Hopes of University of Oregon
football supporters slumped sew
eral degrees when school opened
this fall and X became known that
Steers heralded as 1.-The mighty"
and 1.-The terrible would be unable
to return to Eugene. The back
field, it was known, would be
greatly weakened by his absence.
Steers was assured a place in
gridiron history following his per-
formance as quarterback on the
Oregon team when it clashed with
Harvard in the Pasadena football
classic last New Years day. The
Oregon pilot critics said, outclassed
Eddie Mahon, the celebrated Har-
ward quarterback.
This will be steers senior year at
Eugene. He has played with the
oregon first string for two years.
During the war he was a backfield
man on the. nationally famous
Mare Island marine team.

Value of Cooperation
Discussed at SiIUeYtOn
Community Club Meet

and no charge was made for this
entertainment.
Denton Is Speaker.
The evening session was even
more interesting than the after
noon meeting. Many farmers liv-
ing some distance in the country
remained during the evening.
Walter Denton, of Salem, was the
principal speaker in the evening"
Mr.. Denton made very interesting
and helpful talk along the line OF
community development, and Mr.
Weatherford also made another
talk. George Custer, prominent
merchant acted as chairman ana
introduced the speakers.
n 1t is felt in Silverton that the IN
termingling Of the people from the
country and the city is as II shoutu
be. and the meeting yesterday
seems to have opened the way for
accomplishments, the benefits OF
which cannot yet be estimated, IN
years pas the farmer has peens
looked upon as the producer ana
the one who lives in the city as the
consumer. But the name properly
belongs to neither one or the otn-
er; the man who lives upon the
firm is the consumer of what Is pro-
duced in the city and the one VINO
lives in the city is the consumer OF
that which is produced on the farm
and so are both eaqually producers
and consumers. Viewing the STU
alton from this standpoint, the Sill
verton Community club has arrived
at the conclusion that all producers
and all consumers must cooperate
if the social and commercial inter-
ests of the city and community are
to ba fully deve1ODed,
