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.

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.

' Measured by any reasonable standard, business has
beei) good since the first -of the year, is good today, and will
continue to be so unless quite unforseen changes should take
. place in underlying factors. 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. Herein lies the main betterment in

The driver of the lumber truck
in Jamaica. N. Y.. has been fined
fSO for "desecrating the Ameri
can flag." tie tied a flag to the
rear of his truck-load as a danger
signal. It would have been all
right If he had used a socialist
flag there. But the court held
that the Btara and Stripes abso
lutely must not be used for any
such purpose even when, as the
driver protested, he hadn't any
thing else to use except a red
sweatier, which he had put on
himself to keep warm.
It is lust another Illustration
of the difficulties people are al
ways getting into with the na

proper use have been given so
often that it might be stiODosed
everybody would be familiar with
them.

I flag, especially for mere orna

, A woman visitor remarked recently, that the girls with

accent invitations from boys, unless such a fellow was able
rto.twtl for them with an automobile. They looked with some
. contmipt on those who expected them to reach the center
' of the city by street cars, which were not exclusive enough
for these airy misses. This is a contrast from the clays
when any girl felt complimented to be invited to walk to a
dunce or party, if the distance was not prohibitive. Kven if
tlioy had to walk a mile or two, they usually enjoyed it, as
giving tiicm a better chance to get acquainted. If morel Gossip may pirmm, th. atmos-

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.

seeks artificially to protect the
wrongdoer from the consequence
of bis act: that would make of

more regulation, more Interfer

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

Along with a fallacy that all
men are created equal, when no

the purchasers could save much

that the artless purchased could
be sold for hss under the "cash

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

of all purchases. So there Is lit

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
