BROADENING OUR VISION -''LL the war and our 'tf:f heavy export business during me struggle open the eyes of our business wen to the fact that if we wish to continue selling - goods abroad we must to a reason atote exiani oe a purcnaser 111 the foreign market? There are indications that this truth is being realized. Witness the following statement from Vice President Straight of the American International Cor poration : "This war has demonstrated the fact grhich some of us in thia country have heretofore been disposed to ignore that international traae. nice do mestic trade, is essentially an exchange of commodities. We cannot hope that we shall con tinue to sell some $3,000,000, Q0O more of goods than we buy. If we wish to sell our goods abroad we must in turn pur chase from foreign producers." That is a broader sentiment than our busiress masmates have ben accustomed to, ex press. I" days preceding the "Wilson administration the chief 'thought of pampered industry was ho-'T to shut out foreign competition by a tariff wall. If the war .business trans "forms this country commerci ally into a world nation, de stroying the c provincialism o 'the protective tariff days, the "whole world will be trainer, the United States probably the most of all. Let us hope we we forever past the nursing Vkotlle stage. CONVICTS ON ROAD WORK a'teadv decrease since 1885 in the proportion of con victs in the United States employed in miscellaneau? work under lease and contract rnd a marked increase in the proportion emploved for the benefit of the state on hiph ways and other public work? re shown in ptatistics just pub lished by the office of Public liontls and Rural Engineerinr .f the TT. S. Department cf A pricuHure. The systems of ronvirt labor Jtre classified in the report a lease, contract, and niere Vrice systems, under which the labor of the convicts is for the benefit of private individuals vr corporations, often in the manufacture of commodities; the public account system, un der which the convict-made voods are sold by the state: the state-use system, under "which goods are manufactured -mly for use in state instituti ons; and the public works ana be ways system, under which the" labor of the convicts is devot ed to public structure and roads. The latter system has grown in popularity, it is point ed out, because it makes use of the convict labor with a mini mum of competition with free labor, contributing fairly last ing benefits to the whole com munity, affords healthful and even somewhat reformative employment to the convicts, and reduces congestion in pen al institutions. The most sat isfactory use of the system, in the opinion of the department's road specialists, is under state rather than county administra tion. Convicts should not be in discriminated put to work on roads, it is pointed out. Only those who are physically fit for the work should be employed. It may be even desirable and practicable in many instances to reserve assignment to the open-air work as a reward for good behavior. Physically and by former mode of life, statis tics cited in the report show, about three-fourths of the aver age male prison population is better fitted for outdoor labor than for shop work. In prac tice, when all considerations are taken into account. It bas been found that from 25 to. 50 per cent of the male inmates of prisons are available for road work. A FAIR ARRANGEMENT HE East Oregonian Is not aware of the exact forces back of the proposal to submit to the people a plan for reviving the normal, school at Ashland and for establish ing an eastern Oregon normal at some place to be chosen by the board of regents. The plan however, as far as east ern Oregon is concerned, has the merit of being fair to all towns in this section. It aims at the location of the school up on the merits of the location. as viewed by men in position to know the intracacies of the subject. If the plan is upheld by the people two years hence the board of regents will have the task of saying where the school shall go. It is an open ouestion what they wal . do, There is a Baker man upon the board, also a man from La Grande and one from The Dalles. There is no member from Pendleton, or any other place in Umatilla county. ' It will therefore be up to Weston and Pendleton to make such a show of merit as to overcome this seeming handicap, if the institution is to be located in this county. The advice of the East Oregonian is that this ar rangement be accepted never theless. The general cause of normal school education, in (astern Oreeon is of more im portance than the matter of vhere the school shall be lo cated Some people seem to see no harm in the fact our schools ere torn with strife, but they object to the oublication of l ews on the subject even when fuch news, is handled with ar solute fairness and truthful ress; such criticisms however. t!o not annoy the East Oregon ian in the least. The "censor ship of the school authorities mav cover a multitude of sud- ects but it does not extend to this newspaper. We will con tinue to publish the news, fair ly and without bias, no matter what day of the week it may 40 YEARS AGO (From the Weekly EaJrt Oreonian, Feb. 17. 1877.)

Or., Feb. 16. fSd.tor Eaat Oregonian: la view of the fact that one of the tooai ampere haa seen fit to present some notions relative to the ball held at Lh State Hospital on St. Valentine's ight. y the Bachelors' Club of ths High School (as announced) perhaps a word from me may be of public in terest, - As a member of the school board 1 assume tho en tiro r esponsi bi Uty. Whatever was done toy the superin tendent was done at nty suggestion, and in the interest of the school. In the first place the law of the state prohibits secret societies among the pupils of the public school (see sections 4059-60 of the Oregon statutes) I am advised that the club aforesaid is a secret society, exist in j contrary to law. It therefore is not entitled to the countenance of any of the teachers. In the second place there is a st-hool rule, and it is a salutatory one, that there shall be no entertainments by or for tho pupils, except on Friday or Saturday evenings. The Bachelors Club ball was contrary to that rule. Assuredly the teachers could not be expected to lend their support to law-H breaking. I am informed that Pendleton is the only city In the state where the anti-secret society law is ignored. It seems to me that the parents ought to assist the board in suppressing the societies, in the interest of good cfti xervflhfp. ELLA P. , LOWELL.

SUNDAYS 2 to S "Raymond.' the new book by JJlr Oliver Lodge which hag lately attract ed kj much attention may now be had at the County Lkbrary. The book will be reserved in the order in which re quests are made for it, as is the cam' with all non-fiction. The preface of Mr. Lodge is here quoted to nhow the scope of the book for any who may be interested : This book is named after my son who was killed In the war. It is divided into three parts. In the fint part some idea of the kind of life lived and the epirlt hhown by any number of youths, fully engaffd in civil occupations, who joined for service when war broke out snd went to the front. Is Illustrated by extracts from his letters. The object of thle portion is to engender a friendly feel ing towards the writer of the let ten so that whatever has to be said In the sequel may not have been the inevit able dullness of details concerning an entire svranger. This is the sole ob ject of this portion. The letters aro INTERNED GERMAN fSffl'S ''viaaipsMsiiiwiiaj n in The Interned aertnaa stesmsr Ur I .

HOW EXPLORER GETS FIGHTING SPIRIT c .--wo V I i f4 Sift tRNESV SHAirttXTOM Sir Etnwt Shaekleton the great explorer, won the muwle and endur ance for his wonderful Antarctic trips by boxing with dangerous big heavyweights like himself. Here ho is shown with Bob Devers, the west not supposed to be remarkable; though as a picture of part of the life at the front during; the 1915 phase of the war they are interesting, as many other such letters have been. The second part gives specimens of what at present are considered by most people unusual communications; though these agnin are in many re spects of an ordinary type, and will be recognized as such by other bereav ed persons who'nave bad similar mes sages. In a few particulars, indeed, those here quoted have rather special features, by reason of the assistance given by the grouu of my friends "on the other side" who had closely stud ied the subject. It is partly owing to the urgency therein indicated that 1 have thought it fry duty to speak out, though It may well be believed that It Is not without hesitation that I have ventured thus to obtrude my family affairs. I should not have done so were It not that the amount or premature and unnatural bereave ment at the present time is so appall Ing that the pam caused by exporting one's own sorrow end Its alleviat'on, to poaaible scoffers, becomes almost negligible in view of the servic hich It Is legitimate to hope nun thus be rendered to mourners, if they can derive comfort by learning rh;J communication across the gulf is pos sible. Incidentally, I have to thank those friends, some of them previous ly unknown, who have in the same spirit allowed the names of loved ones to appear in this book, and I am grateful for the help which ona or two of those friends have accorde.. Some few more perhaps may be thus led to pay critical attention to any as. surance of continued and happy and useful existence which may reack them from the other aide. The third part of the book is of a more expository character, and Is de signed to help people In general t realize that this subject is not ths bugbear which ignorance and preju dice have made it. that it belongs to a coherent system of thought frit of new facts of which contiued jtudy is necesnary that it is subject to a law and order of its cwn, and that though comparatively n its infancy It a srenu-ne branch of psychological sci ence.
