A bill for additional primary' election costing thousands biennually. An amendment imposes a two-thirds rule on future tax measures. The Oregonian concludes: "The public pocketbook is an important consideration, but are we not running in the wrong direction? If the same industry had been exhibited in proposing measures that would lessen the cost of goverment there would be ciuse for congratulation and we fancy that those law-givers in particular w hose names regularly recur in every issue of the official pamphlet, had they devoted their energies and funds to a pro gram of economy, would have improved their sadly deficient popularity." o - RIVEN TO DESPERATION by the hopelessness of the prospect for saving Dr. Smith, the "West-says-thumbs up" candidate for gov ernor, the Democratic campaign managers so it is said in reports on good authority which dribbled into Republican state headquarters have decided upon the good old line of action, to-wit: throw overboard everything but save "Our George" Chamberlain who is "non-partisan" during campaign times but Democrat the rest of the year. Reports come from different parts of the state that efforts are being made to get Republicans to desert Senator Booth in return for a vote for Dr. Withycombe. The frequency of these attempts proves better than most anything else at this time how hopeless the Democratic wise men view Dr. Smith's chances. They are trying to buy Chamberlain votes with Smith votes but the coin is counterfeit. The low est estimate put upon Dr. Withycombe's plurality by careful political prog nosticators is that it will be 20,000 and from that up to 40,000 or more. Other reports are brought in to Republican headquarters to the effect that Dr. Smith's friends are making out of him a nice little "Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hvde candidate" on the liquor question. WTiile he is busy seeking by inuendo to give the people the idea that he entirely endorses the unconsti tutional West method of calling out the militia to do a constable's job, in clos ing a saloon, it is said that his campaign managers are working the "under- T HE APPOINTMENT OK THE MAYOR a member of the library board is a step in the right direction but is only a part of the reform which should should take place. According to the statement of members of the board, there is nothing back of the organization. "In real ity we have no more right to the authority we exercise than any seven men on the streets," said one member of the board recently. "Each year we meet and re-elect and perpetuate ourselves. Thete is no organization bark of u, we represent no association or society. In the past the library board has been divided over matters which many times were trival and threats of resignations were hurled back and forth. At the present time that body is divided over the admission of "The Masses" and "The Menace" to the library files and the matter is assuming a serious aspect. The affairs of the library are not run with the same smoothness which characterizes the water board which is much more involved and which have much more authority. Then again, the library is dependent on the city tor its very existence. A special tax levied each year provides the greater part of the funds for the organization and even gave it standing enough to be recognized by Carnegie before the building was built. In view of the conditions which surround the library and the present conditions of the board itself, it would seem to be the best to bring the li brary directly under the control of the city as is the water board or the con- troling body of any other municipal enterprise. Instead of merely having one representative on the board, the council should have the appointing power tor the entire body in the same way other municipal boards are appointed. The failure of the present system has clearly shown that an enterprise made possible by a municipal tax should come directly under the control of the people T .

If our neutrality is not one of thought and we do not refrain from taking sides in tlie war, there is always the danger of being drawn into the affair. The other day President Wilson issued a letter in which he asked the people to be neutral in fact as well as in mind. It follows in part: "The people of tlie United States are drawn from many nations and chiefly from the nations now at war," he said. "It is natural and inevitable that there should be the utmost variety of sympathy and desire among them with regard to the issues and circumstance, of the conflict. Sonic will wish one nation, other another, to succeed in the momentous struggle. "I venture, therefore, my fellow countrymen, to speak a solemn word of warning to you against that deepest, most subtle, most essential breach of neutrality which may spring out of partisanship, out of passionately taking sides. The United States must he neutral in fact as well as in name during these days that are to try men's souls. We must be impartial in thought as well as in action, must put a curb on our sentiments as well as on every trans action that might be construed as a performance of one party to the struggle before another." Such a letter was needed as at the present time certain people arc at tempting to draw the United States into a controversy with Japan. These people may be American citizens but their mind is not with America "first." o PANAMA TAl'IMC EMIllll l ION will I held ieu tear II in San KiaikiVxi at if ihe Kui'iwan war had iml hikrn out, I h " manager of the Ih'k thow uf to I tiMi'iatulatrJ ti;n the ? judgment of their drxiiiml trgardlrt nf the pnwir nf tmg a tri) tml I 'art of the ditplayt of the nation intuited in ihe ptrteni oxillut, No finer dexitioii wat pibtf, however, afier tmh an rtprndiiure nf rtom at hat already hern made and it it really a tuinw to many that ihe plan of aUimling the e'lin had been imitidrtrd.

Reynold in the Tucker county circuit court, ly this injunction the Western Mar) land Railway company it prohibited from accepting intoxicating liquors for delivery in Wet Virginia without aving first ascertained that the consignee who it to receive the good in tends to use the liquor only for his "personal and lawful use." It it alo made mandatory that the transportation company shall know that the con lignee has not been solicited by mail or in person to order the liquors which he is to receive. This injunction has already resulted in the refusal by the American x press company at Cumberland, Maryland, and other points of all hip mcnts to West Virginia destinations. THE CRITICAL TIME in the present Democratic administration has come and it would seem that the Wilson policy has been found ,t; u-;,i, .. -r ,,; ;., r troubled continent being drawn into the affair, the position of the United States is extremely delicate, but the opportunity for the advancement of this country is the trade of the world was never equaled before in its history. So far the Democrats have done several things. They have passed a trivial amendments to the currency bill, appropriating 2,500,000 for the re- ief of Americans in Europe. They have declared the neutrality of the United States in the conflict, a thing that the average fix-year-old in a kinder- arten would have sense enough to do; and that have spent many das in considering a bill to revive the American merchant marine so that Amen- in ships can carry American goods to the markets of the world This is all that has been done in face of the most trying times since the Civil war. Of all that has been done, the hill which has been formulated to rc-es- ahlish the American merchant marine is perhaps more foolish than the rest; even exceeding the usual brand of Democratic statesmanship. The Adam son bill has passed congress and now awaits the executive signature. It piu- . . 1 1 111 , 1 a . : .1.:1.... poses that toreign Bottoms snail ne aciinincci to American registry, uic hk-j being to establish a marine by taking over the ships involved in the present conflict. Mr. Wilson is the man who originated the idea and he looked at the matter from the domestic standpoint rather than from the natural view hich will be taken by others powers. The countries at war will assert. and with strong logic, that a foreign ship under the Amrrican flag is flying false colors. The nations at war will not consent to a plan of rebuilding our commerce by a method which from their point of view is only one de gree short of piracy. The only way to bring foreign ships under the Ameri can flag is to buy them outright and pay openly for them. The Adamson bill, for all the good it may do, might as well he thrown into the lire. J cr- laps it would be better for it will only delay real relief by giving the im pression that relief has been provided when in fact there is no relief. T HE MIND OF W. S. U'REN seems to run to open letters, debates and challenges of late. Only a few short weeks ago he attempted to show the soverign people of Oregon that both Dr. Smith and Dr. James Withycombe were "wet" but now he is dragging his own dearly be loved $1,500 tax exemption bill out before the Republican nominee and chal lenges the latter to a debate. U'Ren's demand that Smith and Withycombe make certain statements in regard to the dry amendment was nothing more nor less than foolish and failed to benefit the local man or harm his rivals. U'Ren, who is free from an party and almost from a personal following as well, is dependent on such utterly foolish antics as this to keep his name be fore the people. The latest exhibition stunt of U'Ren is typical of him and merely goes to show that he has the idea that the governor is the entire state government, Compel Parents to Visit Schools Attend ed bu Their Children Bu EDWARD C. ELLIOTT. Director Teachers' Tralnlno Course, University of Wisconsin IT ia my best judgment, formed after many years of study of schools and communities, that ono of tho greatest needs of education today ia the regular attendance of individual parents upon tho school. If this were the ease it is certain that tho GREAT MAJORITY OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS BETWEEN TEACHERS AND PUPILS WOULD DISAPPEAR, and particularly all of the misunderstandings between teachers and parents would be dono awuy with. IT SHOULD BE SAID TO PARENTS) MUCH OF THE EFFORTS OF 6CHOOL8 AND TEACHERS 18 WASTED BECAUSE THE SCHOOL AND THE TEACHERS DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR CHILDREN. YOUR PRINCIPAL 8CHOOL BU8INE8S IS TO SEE THAT THE TEACHERS DO UNDERSTAND YOUR CHILDREN. There will bu little profitable co-operation between schools and homes until parents sctually get into the schools attended by their children. We Americans are apt to be talking about schools and at the same time have too little first hand knowledge about the schools. The NEXT STEP IN COMPULSORY EDUCATION SHOULD BE TAKEN IN THE DIRECTION OF PARENTS, one of whom should be obliged to attend the school gi their children at least on half day each month. it.
