THE SPIRIT OF RECONCILIATION Z The world ought to have learned a good deal during the past six years. It ought to have discovered that the re ; suit that are created by war and force are so rough and brutal that they do not settle human relations. When the ; war closed, the American people felt the most profound in ; digilation against the Germans. They were fearful for a - time" that the terms of peace were not severe enough on those - terrible people that had caused all this sorrow and suffering. -They were perfectly right in feeling that the German peo- pie abundantly deserved retribution. Our people will never -take rtiuch stock in those theories which some are promoting -ao Earnestly, that no one particular nation was responsible I for he war. They know that the Germans invaded peaceful I countries whose neutrality they had sworn to protect. The Germans may not have been the only ones to blame, but they I bear the great bulk of blame. But the main thing that should have been kept in mind, when the peace terms were fixewas not to hand out proper retribution for the sins andlinistakes of the past. The main thing was to fix it so thaJhere would not be any more wars- If the nations could Tassuje permanent peace, they could well afford to let the .' past jfo. The peoples of Europe in 1918 almost unanimously wanted peace and desired no more wars. It would have I been-wiser to have built on this foundation, and to have tried 7 to show a little more magnanimity in looking at the past. The German people were terribly to blame for maintaining ;such a wicked government as the one that started this war, but as long as they were disposed to start a republican form of government, it would have been better policy to give that ; government every encouragement, and not menace its over turn by too drastic conditions. o I While professional baseball is said to be flourishing as 1 never before, it is declared that amateur playing is falling off 'considerably. The young men and boys seem to be going ;in more for golf and tennis. One important reason for such ;a change, if these facts are correctly stated, is the lack ot suitable ball grounds. While many- good playgrounds have been "furnished, most cities and towns have many neighbor hoods v. litre there is no adequate place for baseball. One Z difficulty also is that it is a somewhat complicated matter to get up a ball team. A boy desirous fd play must secure admission to a team of at least nine players, and then they must find teams which will play with them- Whereas ten nis can be playc.d by two boys in many back yards, and golf links are being built all over the country. Baseball is the . great democratic game, and it should be made practical for ; every city and town neighborhood by sufficient grounds. The parents do not have to worry about the boys when they are playing baseball.

The question may well be asked, "What constitutes a reasonable standard of prosper ity?" Assuredly there is no arbitrary standard but when consumption is at high levels, labor well employed, credit abuiidant and money rates reasonable, and when efficiently operated enterprises are making moderate profits, it is a safe assumption that conditions are normal or better. This is exactly the situation today. There is some evidence that business men are realizing these facts, and are gradually forgetting theur disappointment over the failure of a hoped for oom to materialize.

Promiscuous use of tho I flag, especially for mere orna j mentation, tends to over-famlli-j arlty and irreverence. To many . patriotic citizens there is a spe I cial unfitness, and a sort of per i sonal arrogance in the practice of flaunting big flags over summer I collages, as if the occupants were ; saying: "Look at me! I am America!" Restraint about the flog Is probably as great a virtue as handling It properly on suit able occasions. Albany Demo crat-Herald. OI K PHIKONH.

Vi r.l iU,r, rfes or reformers can do. Is only to tinker a little on the surface. Hope lies In the Improvement to be found In the handling of youthful offenders. The Juvenile Courts report that approximately S5 per cent of their proteges "make Rood." The time may come when similar methods will be adapted to the treatment of adult social misfits. Men are but boys grown tall. It must be remembered, bow ever, that back of the succeHsful Juvenile court lies a very definite authority. If the criminal is to be refnrnved. he must somewhere feel the power of a firm and steady hand. The gushing sentimentality that seeks artificially to protect the wrongdoer from the consequence of bis act: that would make of our prisons a haven of rest for j ine wicaea, ana ascrttte to the criminal the refined sensibility of a poet-philosopher. Is a menace to society second only to the crimi nal himself.

All the delivery, containers, labor ln wrapping, etc., must be added to the cost to the consumer who outlines complains bitterly of the hlnh cost of living. One of the moat efficient ways for the reduc tion of costs Is to encourage co operative deliveries, the purchaser carry plan and bulk purchaoes. I The methods may hurt our pride, add to our labors, change our present methods. Hut thpy should result In lower costs. Salem Statesman. A COI.OS.SAI, WASTK. Nothing Is appreciated unless It Is earned. When anything is made eay. Interest soon lapses. That which comes without effort is seldom valired. It is the strug gle to aciiuire that gives life its test, and makes anything worth while. These rather trite truisms prob- amy explain wny higher educa of proportion to ability. Higher education as we know It today, is a colossal waste, waste of time, of energy, of money that might be far better spent ln other ways and probably does mom harm than good, creating discon tent, dissatisfaction and unrest among the unfit. It Is question able whether the country Is really better off for those who seek knowledge always find It and the self taught is better taught than tire factory product. It has not made for Improved citizenship or higher standards. With more education there fa more bigotry, more fanaticism, more intolerance, more regulation, more Interfer ence, more paternalism, and less democracy, less liberty and less reason than in the nation's his tory.

It is certain then that Jficially stimulated by careful cam paigns ana persistent propaganda on the part of already overcrowd ed state institutions, esch branch of which competes with every other branch, and each institu tion with the other, has forced a revolution lu educational methods along lines of quantity produc tion. The factory methods of Henry Ford are utilised. The In dividual Is submerged In the miM, standardized, and mechanized. Each Instructor working under tension, adds a bolt or nut as tha student passes on the moving educational belt, until an Immense amount of unassimilateri knowl edge and lueless rubbago Is a nemiiUd and labelled an education by a coniurorcliilireil institution. Along with a fallacy that all men are created equal, when no two are. we have Imbibed that the purchasers could save much bv carrying their purchases and that the artless purchased could be sold for hss under the "cash and carry plan." One of the chief differences In costs is In produce marketing In cluding vegetables and fruits. Small purchases malce for high costs for all. It requires as much energy and time to deliver a pound or two. as it does to de liver several pounds of the same food. Everyone who purchases mill1! tielp pay the delivery costs of all purchases. So there Is lit tle encouragement for one pur chaser to carry while another re quires delivery.

Ta buy pota- There has been no more flag rant case in Oregon to show th? susceptibility to abuse of our laws for direct legislation. Here was an act at whose Justice, expedi ency and doslrabilty scarcely any body presumed to cavil. It was an act to provide from a source whose ability to pay Is unquest ioned, revenue of which the stnte Is in sore need. And It Is held up and rendered temporarily fu Wi through the activity of paid petition hawkers, representing an Interest wholly selfish. It Is Inconceivable that SO. 000 voters of Oregon oppose the bus ' and truck tax bill. It Is like- ( wise Inconceivable that so many 1 oi our people believe the com mercial trucks and buses should be allowed to continue to capital ize the highways to their own profit without paying for the prl virege. or that they should evade Just payment for the privilege, or that they should evade Just pay ment through the tax for the damage they are causing to the pavements. Nothing less Is to be belseved than that when the bus and truck tax bill is finally voted on under referendum It will be overwhelmingly sustained. Every expression ot public sentiment on the subject Indicates as much. Why. then, did S4.0HO voters sign laws for direct legislation consti tute a valuable safeguard to po pular rights, liut petition hawk ing needs to be curbed, sharply and decisively. Eugene Ouard.
