The ch:idien h.ui the exercises all to themselves. After all of their work an.l the worn on the part of the teachers in order to have the prosiam run thtoush without a hitch or a mistake, there was no audience there to hear it. no mother to listen to the childish recitations. It was a Kir-it disappointment t.) the teachers. Hut the creates disan )K)intment of all came to the little tots in the sra.le who had hoped to see their mothers in the audience and who had planned to "speak their piece" to a crowd in which their mother formed the impoitant figure. Many a child went home that evening w ith a lump in his thtoat. It was a disappointment that was bitterly keen. The greatest disappointment in life is the sorrow that comes to the heart of the child when his mother does not come up to his expectations. In that one room, there were many lathers that day who fell short of what their children expected of them, many of them w ho. not in tentionally but all the more really, broke the heart of the child. What is life without a mother? When the child has worked for da on the crowning ambition of his young life, when he has drilled and re hearsed his "piece" in order to have it perfect for the day, when he arises be fore his classmates and begins to speak ami in that throng cannot find the face of his mother, what disappointment is keener, what more effective in breaking that child's heart and spoiling his whole ambition in school life? Oregon City mothers ought to take a great deal more interest in the welfare of the child in school. Busy as they are with their domestic an.l other duties, they ought to see that the child s eyes may rest on the face ot his mother at least on the day when he stands before his classmates to "speak Ins piece." A little more interest would he better for the child, better for the schools, better for the mother. tor 1, mi- motii.ihle Iiol' cultivation te.illv i' 1 rai-e.l an.l the meat problem would he hy no means so acute.

"is no less unrepresenta tive than the hiring of workers or vehicles on election day, which have both been prohibited by the corrupt practices act." In support of his proposed initiative measure, which should be indorsed by all true friends of government by the people, Mr. Bourne says: '"It has been quite generally agreed that under the system of paid circu lation of initiative and referendum petitions two evils exist: The submission of many measures for which there is no popular demand, and the forging of signatures. To remove these evils, I shall propose an initiative measure pro hibiting payment for circulation of petitions but placing no restriction upon the right of the people to circulate petitions for any measure n which thev feel an interest. "One of the fundamental purposes of the Oregon System is to increase the power of men and decrease the power of money. I am surprised, there fore, to find that there are some sincere advocates of better government who oppose the plan of prohibiting paid circulation of petitions. Most of those who oppose my bill acknowledge that it is right in principle but say it w ill rot work satisfactorily in practice. I contend that if it is right in principle it will ultimately be adopted and will work in practice. "An initiative petition is supposed to represent the desire of 8 per cent of the voters. It does no such thing. It represents merely the expenditure of a certain amount of money. "Possibly circulation of petitions serves to notify about ten per cent of the voters that the measure is being proposed, but, if that is the end to he gained, it certainly could be done more effectively by expending the money in the printing and circulation of copies of the bill which voters could read, lather than in securing signatures of voters to a petition which few take the tme to read. "The adoption of my suggested bill would make the petition represent public opinion, for the number of volunteer circulators would be in propor tion to the extent of public desire for the measure. "I admit that so long as the custom of paying circulators continues, prac tically every measure must be initiated in that manner, hut I am confident the time will come when the duties of citizenship in procuring and protect rjr desired laws under the initiative and referendum will be performed with out special compensation." could get "long distance" service. The fact is that the "Kelt," being first in the field, onlv service w ithin cities but also sen ice between them "Hell" probably hoped to keep the local fields for itself by declinim the "independents" to reach one another's exchanges over its "lum lines between cities.

Katon nt pear na nttornoya for Mr. j-aoii w SN THESE DAYS of the high cost of food and especially of meat, when the packers are despairing of the meat supply and the price of flesh food is proceeding steadily upward, farmers would do well to pay heed to a section of Samuel W. Allerton's book on "Practical Farming," entitled, "The Hog the Mortgage Payer." Mr. Allerton says that this is what the hog is known as on Illinois farms and he believes that it is an eminently correct designation. He gives much practical advice regarding the successful raising of hogs and points out that the only serious obstacle to success is hog cholera.

HISTORY IS MAKINCi f.it anent the eh-ienth aiuiii.il wallow of the Washington Corral of the .Military Order of the Caraboa last Thursday night uhi.h so grievously displeased Pres ident Wilson and members of his cabinet. Secretaries Daniels and Garrison haie receiied an explanation from Major General Aieshire, Hriga.lirr General Mclntire and Rear Admiral Howard. Copies of the songs which aroused so much administration wratn have been submitted with a letfor o- r.-urr that anythiiio; thould have given offense. This letter also sets forth that the "Pamn the Insurrectos" song has been sung by the organization and at similar gatherings ever since 1890. It also appears that the Carabaos as a whole did not know arn thing of the advance statement given to the press about the purpose of the perform ance, but that one member did send out an advance notice which said of a moving picture showing how a Filipino was chased down and then made f-overnor of a province: "Hy this film, just as in last year's ironical "Filipino Declaration of Inde pendence," the Carabaos showed their lack of sympathy for recent develop mentsj and tendencies in Philippine government." Secretaries Daniels and Garrison at this w riting are preparing a re port to be presented to President Wilson. In the meantime the official sug gestion to Rear Admiral Howard that he decline to accept the presidene; of the order still stands and is being extended to other prominent officers of the Navy. Says Secretary Daniels, "In view of the criticism of the recent dinner I don't think it would be wise for any of the older officers to take of tice in the organization now." Isn't the whole thing nothing more than a tempest in a teapot? Can't the officers of the Army and Navy sing their songs and have their fun with out being accused by implication of disloyalty to the administration? Surely a fourteen-year-old song can't have any direct application to the Wilson ad ministration. We respectfully advise President Wilson to drop the hot end of the stick. He ought to be tickled that the Army and Navy officers see something to laugh at in the Philippine situation. There are people, and lots of them, v.ho think the conditions in the islands, brought about by his administration, arc too serious to be amusing. Anyway, a joke is a joke, and the statesman who can't see one or take one is going to have a hard time in politics in this land of the joke and the borne of the joker.

KELLY, g)necologist and surgeon of the great tins Hopkins hospital and university, and Dr. Robert Ablie of New York have announced to the College of Physicians of Philadel phia that the result of ten years of clinical experimentation, observation and practice has shown that radium is an absolute cancer cure. In incipient cases and even in cases where the disease has not spread tin- uly, the application of radium to the affected parts brings about an absolute and immediate cure. Dr. Kelly, telling of several cases which he had treated related stories which but for his reputation in the field of surgery would have been regarded as romances, Thus, with a patient whom Dr. Kelly referred to as "Uncle John," the subject of the treatment announced, after an hour's application of a ra dium tube, that the growth was becoming smaller. The doctor laughed at this remark, but it was true. After forty-eight hours the growths had entire ly disappeared and a smooth, healthy skin and tissue had taken their place Dr. Kelly thus graphically described it: "I was amazed at the work. I could hardly believe my eyes. It was as if I bad said, Tumor, go!' and the tumor was gone." The two surgeons also described many cases of cures of cancer of the lips, the tongue and even of the breast. They advocate the use of the knife in extreme cases to remove entirely the malignant growths, following this with the application of radium to destroy the disease and to restore healthy tis- 1 his is to make entirely certain of the cure.
