ADVANCEMENT
OF RACE is
DISCUSSED

What is civilization? Why does
man progress? At the present time
is there "a tendency tOwa dark ages
again? How can INC downfall of
humanity be averted? The above
were some OF the que 'rns before
the Fortnightly Literary club at the
home Of Mr. and Ms. r. B. Griggs on
Friday evening.
Mrs F. H. Horstman took up the
first question, What Is Civilization ?''
and that it was something more than
mental culture something more than
the progress Of society. She took the
matter up before her pupils in the
high school and it agreed that civil
ization was something more than an
education, more than the carrying on
of business, more than the develop
mcnt Of society. The speaker gave
the definition from Webster and also
the following from Stoddard's new
book 1.-The Revolt Against Civiliza-
ton:
Civilization is the flower of the
human species. Civilization is
complex. 1t involves the eXis-
tence OF human communities,
characterized by political and
social organizatins dominating
andutilizing natural forces, ad-
justing themselves to the new
man-made environment thereby
social organizations dominating
and utilizing natural forces, ad-
created possessing knowledge, re-
fnement. arts and sciences; and
last, but emphatically not the last
Of sustaining this elaborate comp
lexity and of handing il on to
capable posterty.
Secret OF Advancement
In further discussing THE Revolt
Against Civilization" Attorney Ralf T.
Ruuge said, quoting Stoddard all the
way through. that those with capacity
must be the leaders and that as long
as this condition remains there is no
serious danger of a breakdown. High
intelligence is the secret Of advance
rlent although il was held that men
tai superiority was becoming rarer.
Lincoln was mentioned and it is often
stated that he came from lOwly origin
yet investigation has shown that he
came from high grade ancestors.
That genious is a form of insanity
has been exploded and that epilepsy
was hereditary has been fairly well
established There are about 100000
feeble minded in the United States
and only ten or fifteen per cent Of
these have been registered.
The Solution
To keep the race advancing, those
who are inferior must be segregated.
Eugenics is doing much and will do
more, il was believed. The greatest
thing is to get people to think and
this is now being done.
The next meeting will be on Tues
day evening. November 7, when the
play, "Disraeli," will be read

NEWSPAPER ETHICS

1t is commonly recognized that doctors and LAWYERS
upon entering their professions duty bound to
form to an accepted code of ethics in the carrying of
their work 1t departure however for group of
newspaper to formulate code which makes it unethi-
cal for their papers to print matter deemed Objectionable
by leaders in their profession
The pioneers to take such action are the members
OF the State Editorial Association of Oregon The editor of
leading periodical in the East in commenting the mat
ter of the opinion that the code adopted by the Oregon
newspapers higher standard than the average prac-
ce OF the business although not higher than that main
tanned by some newspapers in most cities
The Oregon code is big step forward in the annals
OF newspaper progress 1t open recognition of the
sponsibty which the press carries toward the people to
whom supplies reading matter the responsibility Of
giving them the truth at all times the same moment
bearing IN mind the best interests Of all men, The newspa-
per today the most powerful force in the country as an
Influence in moulding public opinion This is especially
true when is considered that many people read nothing
else and derive what education they have from this source
10 the careful observer is evident that the character of
many OF our newspapers particularly those which make
their appeal to sensation is reflected ia the mental at-
ude OF their readers to whom they the fountain of
knowledge good newspaper is the record of current his
tory few hours after king in Europe abdicates his
throne the news is in every city, town and village in the
United States
The character of a newspaper is determined largely
by the average reader The tendency all the country
toward conservatism especially is this of the cou-
try newspaper where people have time for reading
1t is in the city where find the yellow journal which
thrves fang headlines of scandal But it is encouag-
ing to know that the pink and yellow sheet is always
Outnumbered by those journals which deal in facts and
do not have to DOCTOR their news in order to sell it. This
class of newspaper the greatest force for coed in its
community and will invariably be found to have the
largest following
The Oregon association has performed an invaluable
public service in adopting code of ethics for the newspa
profession andt hoped that other states follow it's
example.

DUCKS CLAIM TO DISTINCTION

The Sheldrake, unlike ducks in gen
eral, can walk on land with some
amount of dignity, there being an en-
tire absence of anything like wad-
die. But this is not its only claim to
distinction. for in nesting matters it
shows marked individuality.
Its favorite breeding place is in
some sandy spot near to, though not
always on, the seashore, and it has
an especial liking for rabbit-burrows,
from which it evicts the rightful own
ers without so much as a ''By your
leave" Once the owner is out, he is
never permitted to return while Mr..
and Mrs. Sheldrake- require the house.
Mr. Sheldrake, unlike most others
of the duck tribe, takes a great inter-
est in the arrangement of the nest,
and bears considerable share in look
ing after the little brood when it ar
rives.
