ROSEBURG, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1025.
DRIVE FOR 0NE-CENr LETTER POSTAGE.
Higher rates on mail matter having: seriously failed to
increase the revenue of the postal department, it is now pro
posed to experiment with reduced rates. Last spring rates
were raised on the theory that they would provide addition
al revenue to offset the increase in wages granted to postal
employes. Instead of increasing business, however, the plan
had the opposite effect, with the result that the department
is now facing an annual deficit of over $30,000,000. This
would indicate that the people who patronize the mails can
not be milked beyond a certain limit.
The latest agitation on postal rates is in the form of a
drive in congress to establish one-cent letter postage. To
produce the desired result, several letters would have to' be
mailed where only one is now sent under the prvailing rate
of 2 cents, and a proportionate increase would have to take
place also in other articles requiring the corresponding rate
of postage. This principle of lowering rates to augment rev
enue has been applied in other lines of business and it may
work out successfully for Uncle Sam. However, if it fails in
this instance it will likely occasion no serious perturbation,
the American public being so long accustomed to regarding
the post office department as specially privileged to operate
at a loss.

Rev. Dr. Francis E. Clark, president and founder of the
United Society of Christian Endeavor, has retired from his
position as head of this organization. The movement which
he has led has been a most remarkable one, with nearly 80,
000 of these societies in the world. This effort expressed
the idea that the young people would do more work for the
religious and moral causes which the churches have had at
heart, if they were organized in a society of their own, than
they would if they were simply merged in the church group
with older members, who naturally would take most of the
management This movement has expressed the thought
that the younger crowd have their own ideas,. and that to get
Work out of them, they need to have scope for activitieof
their own. They do not take kindly to the back seat while
the Old Man drives.
o
It is not necessarily true that If an individual has gone
through school, he is an intelligent citizen, as Prof. Morrison
of the University of Chicago told the National Education
association. He thought that no pupil ought to graduate
from a high school until he understands the application of
politics to popular rule and the menace of the demagog. It
is pretty easy in these times to fool large elements of peo
ple, and make them believe that those who want office for
their own advantage, are going to protect the public. But
if the schools handle such a question, there will be complaint
if they seem to be touching on politics. However, the skil
lful teacher ought to be able to show the pupils how in the
past the people have often been buncoed. This may set them
to thinking about present conditions.

Oswald West will collect some $19,000 from Coos coun
ty for services rendered in behalf of the Coos Bay land grant
act which brought to that county $192,141.68 from the gov
ernment Suit was brought by Mr. West when the county
court refused to pay attorney's fees, claiming that West's
activities were confined to lobbying, rather than an attorney
in the case. Just so long as Mr. West "brought home the
bacon" to Coos county it matters little whether he acted as
an attorney or a lobbyist. He was justly entitled to his fee.

-,. We have often wondered why the fellow who stands on
the side-lines and attempts to direct the policies of different
business concerns is still holding down the same job, never
having advanced a single step in the march of progress.
These "master minds" should either be put to work or bump
ed off the sidewalk.

brought under the law passed by '
the recent legislature, which en-;
ables cities to foreclose thefr suits'
, in the circuit court so that a better

i action results from paving done by ;

city paid the assessments due, and
the taxes, and entered the pay

are now to foreclose on the liens.
