ROSEBURG, OREGON, SATURDAY, MAY 30, 1926. PROGRESS IN 150 YEARS . One hundred and fifty years seems a very long time to . the schoolboy. Yet if you ask one of our oldest citizens here in Roseburjj how long it is since the battles of the American revolution were fought 150 years ago, he will say it is not vx'ry long. . If such a man is 9Q years of age, he can look back to His boyhood, and remember the old timers of his day. He cjin recall how they told him their experiences in the Revolu tionary army, and how the country felt during thdse fateful yjears when they were fighting for liberty, j It would seem as'if the world had made far more rapid progress in these 150 years than it did in all the previous time since the Christian era began. Just think of the primi tive conditions that prevailed when those Revolutionary battles were being fought. No railroads, no telegraphs, no telephones, no electricity, no wireless communication, hard er any machinery, and almost no newspapers. It took six days for the news of the battle of Lexington to get down to Philadelphia. People were getting along in the most ptimitive way, factories did not exist save on a very small scale. It sometimes seems when we look ahead, as if no similar progress were, possible in the next 150 years. Yet there is a field of progress which is far more essential than anything in- material gains. " We have harnessed the water and conquered the air, and made electricity to be our humble servant. Yet we have not trained the human spirit and made it do the work of the world as it ought to. Men and women are almost as selfish as they used to be back in those old days, and within 10 years they have broken loose in the most cruel war the world ever knew. The progress of the future must be pre dominantly moral. Material gain only touches the outer fringe of the problems of humanity. o America's dead will sleep this Memorial Day beneath the richest tribute this nation ever has offered to a senti ment 50,000,000 individual blossoms, representing virtual ly every variety of flower. The fortune thus scattered upon the nation's graves it is estimated, will total $5,000,000. These figures were obtained in a national survey just com pleted by the National Memorial Day Association, through its research department. This survey disclosed that a great number of blossoms per capita were distributed last year over the graves in Eastern cities than in the West. As an example, the investigates reported, in one representative Atlantic Coast city, 10,000 wreaths were distributed through the cemeteries, a total far exceeding that attained by any Western community. Does this indicate the East is more patriotic than the West? The statisticians were unable to arjswer that question, but explained this year's forecast in dicated a greater profusion of floral offerings in the West, afcwell as in the East, with the probable preponderance still remaining nearest the Atlantic. 0 A drive is to be made in each state for legislation for child welfare, parti6ularly to care for the needs of destitute .and homeless children. A child who grows up like a weed afd absorbs all sorts of bad ideas from street companions, is; likely to be a very costly proposition. Taxpayers who object to expenditure can be reminded that it would bo cheaper to have such a youngster given proper care from the start. The loose ideas of family relations now prevail ing, tend to set a largo number of children adrift. Loving care will hold many of them straight, who if left to them selves will enter upon careers of evil. The sympathetic heart of the nation ought to get out to all children who are coining up unloved and unregulated, and it should see that some kind of a worthy home is provided for all of them. o . ; : It is claimed that 50,000,000 people are reading immoral magazines in this country. That is perhaps an exaggera tion. It is hard to believe that there are so many who wish to cheapen themselves in that way. Still such publications nie having far too wide a circulation, and they should be required to clean up or quit business. It is pretty hard to bring up young people with clean minds and a desire for substantial achievement, if their thoughts are concentrated on morbid sex interests. What they need is to get out ot doors and work off their surplus vitality on healthful sMrts, but if they Bpend their time sniggering in corners over shady jokes, their minds arc distracted from the aims they ought to follow. k 1 ri .

"Hut before we attempt to set ourselves up as exponents of unl vernal reform, It would be wise to remember that progress Is slow growth and aluo to remember that moderation, patience, forbearance, and charity are virtues in their own righls." IiiscuHHtng the complaint which he said is heard to a lesser extent than at the time of Civil war that (he federal government usurps functions properly belonging to the states, the president declared that despite the claim that this Is a land jof equal opportunity "equality auf 1 fers often because of the iliverg jencles between the laws of different i stales." "So long as some can go to a dis tant slate for divorces which others are dnied at home, he added, "there Is not equality In this regard.

At a special election held In Suther'ln yesterday the citi- sens of that city voted for an Issuance of bonds in the sum of ttio.GOU for a gravity water system to supply the city with water for domestic use. Pro gressive cltixens of the city have been working for almost two years in an effort to bring this project to successful cul mination, and are greatly de lighted with the outcome of the election in which the bonds were approved by a sub stantia! majority. - Sutherlin during the past few years has been enjoying a substantial growth, and In vestments made there recent ly insure of still greater for ward strides In the near fu ture. The city's present sup ply of water is held to be in adequate, for Its many needs, and the maintenance cost fa considered unduly high. For these reasons, and in order to supply better water In greater quantities, for domestic and irrigat ion purposes and fire protection, a water system which will be sufficient for fu ture needs was detnned advis able. Sponsors of the project have been spe n d 1 n g m any tuonths placing the advantages of such a system before Che people of the community, and working out plans for the project, and they are greatly enthused over the results of Die special bond election. The plan Is to extend a pipe line seven miles east of Suth erlin to the Calapooia dam, which wtll give sufficient water for a city of many thousands of people. This is pure mountain water, and is ideal for domestic use. The fall will be sufficient to give ample pressure for fire pro tection purposes, and after the system is once Installed the maintenance cost will be negligible for many yean. JUST IN!
