MANY adults in the labor and in
Nl dustrial fields tend to EXPECT
TOO MUCH of a high school boy
and want only the best boys in our
schools.
This is perfectly human and
understandable, and yet in demo-
cratic system the average and beiot0
average boys must be trained to be-
come useful citizens or lUe shall haze
WPA again.
There are no "eXpendables' in
the political world because all are
human beings ENTITLED TO
THEIR CHANCE and all are in
dividuals who vote and help decide
important questions of national
policy.
1t should be a challenge to our
most imaginative business and in
dustrial leaders to utilize some of
the energies of their fine research
stats to discover NEW KINDS of
jobs, especially for the average and
below average workers.
If waste products can be re-
claimed successfully, hou much more
profitable it Dil be to provide pro-
ductiUe jobs for men and Women
Who in another generation Woutd
have worked at the common labor
jobs an industrial society no longer
proUides.
If this is not done, our schools
again face the difficulty which they
had in the depression of seeking to
prepare folks for whom there is no
job available.
The army has been notedly sue
cessful in teaching skills, languages,
and discipline, but they have had the
strongest possible motivation and
one that is not available during nor
NAL peace times.
Education, business and industry,
and labor must during the postwar
years COOPERATE IN WORK
ING OUT TOGETHER a peacetime
equivalent of the purposes which
exist during a war;
In my opinion there is NO
STRONGER MOTIVE in peacetime
than the reasonable expectation of
remunerative employment at work
within the capacity of the individual.

Superintendent of pittsburgh

Merry Christmas!

But how can it be-" inquired
the pessimist "when the world is
in such a mesa war torn
world as this of 1914" "Altho,
agreed the optimist-in many a
home, this is a sad and sorrow
ing Christmas-th gold star in
the window tells the story-a
father, husband or son is max
ing the supreme sacrifice out
yonder-over there, that the
Christmases yet to come may be
merrier ones. So continued the
optimist why shouldn't we say
Merry Christmas-be merry for
their sake and the love of those
at home" And thus in Portland,
Christmas 1913 will long be re-
membered
Many homes felt the absence
of loved ones serving in the
armed forces, nevertheless re-
naming ones and friends gath
cred around well laden festive
boards, sat meath the glow of
illuminated Christmas trees and
enjoyed the exchange of gifts.
Many individuals made calls to
the hospitals to spread cheer to
patients-in homes many shut-ins
were cheered by gifts and greet
ing cards.
There was also that usual
tendency towards much jollifi-
cation. This was evidenced when
large group of friends trecked
to the country home of the A. J.
Mortons at Orchards, Wash, for |
their annual "open house" on
Christmas Day. Another big party |
on this day was the open house |
hostessed by Mrs. Beatrice Reed |
and her daughters, Ozie Jane,
Eunis Beryl and Jessie, at their |
palatial home in N. Vancouver
Ave. Fifty guests enjoyed the |
jolly, merry atmosphere and set
tings accentuated by the genial |
Out of town guests |
were Chief Petty Officer Chester
Dixon and wife, Clifford. Mrs. |
Dixon, known as q beautiful |
singer, filled several requests
during the afternoon as guests
gathered around a huge bowl of
Xmas cheer. Among her con-
tributions which greatly pleased
were Trees" eSummer Time"
and Memories
In other homes dinners-tur- ,
key dinners-were given for spe- ,
cial guests. At the Taylor-Graves
home in N. e. Wasco, Rev. and
Mrs. ]. j. Glow and Rev. and
Mrs. B. c. Allen and son, Brown
ing, Jr., enjoyed a delightful !
dinner.
Other family gatherings were
the Ingersolls and Holidays, the

and many others.

Seattleites heralded the coming
of the New Year in an outburst
of gayety, mirth and song, far
exceeding many past years.
Many gay parties highlighted
the midnight hour in mirth and
song-none of them highly hi

The New Year was welcomed
with a soberness, unusual for
Seattle, so accustomed to footing
horns and blowing whistles.

WHERE Do WE STAND?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Victory has its jackals no less
than defeat. Already the spoils-
men are out seeking advantages
for their side, for their men.
They are playing up their own
cause by playing down their op-
ponent's and are talking in large
terms of what they have already
done and what they would do
and of what they would have
done. They are proelaiming the
merits of those whom they want
to put into power and, IL one
believed all the talk, one would
be amazed at the number of
white-souled paladins fighting
black-hearted traitors today.
OF course, some Of the paladins
are far too busy talking to fight
the enemy. But their partisans
are declaiming that they and they
alone could end the war and
bring peace to a troubled earth.
These spoilsmen believe that the
democracies are easy and that il
we could be sold on the idea of
their pet hero, we would see to
1t that the government of their
own particular acre of Europe
be handed over to them to rule.
Let us make one thing clear
now and forevermore. We aren't
minding other peoples business
but we have found out that we
cannot live free in a slave world.
Therefore we intend to set the
people of Europe free-not give
them new masters. We believe in
freedom for others as we'll as
for ourselves. We don't let out
siders decide our elections and
we aren't putting in our oar to
tell other nations whom they
shall choose.
What we want for other ma
tions is the same thing we want
for ourselves-a sane, stable
government of the people. by the
people and for the people; guar
anteed freedom for all under
the law; no discrimination in
basic rights because of class,
creed or color; economic secur-
ity through the right of all citi-
zens of all nations to work freely
in the trade, business, or pro-
fession of their own choice; free
dom of education-that is to say
the right such as we have here
for any able, ambitious person
to be an Horatio Alger hero;
freedom from fear of aggression
and from secret police - and
lastly and before all, freedom
of worship, no matter what the
creed.
What we want for ourselves We
want for all, but we do not
dictate methods or rulers. OIL
course, as free speakers, we are
free to take sides as individuals.
Butte, as a nation, we shall not
recognize any government that is
not freely chosen under the laws
of it's own country.
Our own freedom depends up
on the freedom of all peoples.
Our own prosperity depends upon
the prosperity of all peoples. Ours
is a practical idealism-not a
benevolent dictatorship. Let's
make that clear once and for all.
