' i Such wonderful things are being done all the time by - automobiles that we scarcely realize the marvel of it. Ima- gine what the people of 25 or 30 years ago would have said ". if they could have seen this modern wonder, and how it an nihilates distance and binds the country together and unites ; .'country and city. Some days ago, two officers of the Amer ican Automobile association drove a car from Washington, D. C, to Oakland, California, in four days and 21 hours and ' CO minutes. A few years ago this would have been consid ". tred an astonishing performance. Yet we pass it over as r just one item in the day's news, to be succeeded by some r thing just as remarkable. The whole conception of an auto mobile would have seemed astonishing not so many years l,ug6. It was formerly thought that any kind of machine : needed a firm base on which to operate successfully, that if ;' it was bumped and jounced around, such treatment would shake its parts loose, that it would soon go to pieces. Itail- yoad locomotives obtained this firm base, by being operated - on ;a track levelled down to the utmost precision. Yet the automobile is driven at high rates of speed over roads full of holes anil hollows and humps and rocks, and this delicate ' mechanism is shaken as a dog shakes a rat. And yet with all , its delicacy, it is built with such firmness and precision, that ' it stands this terrific jolting for tens or hundreds of thous- ands of miles, and operates with the marvellous smoothness that thrills and satisfies our fussy age. Today the automo- rbile is revolutionizing society. It is bringing communities tind people closely together, ending isolation, creating happi- r riess and good nature. It promotes some evils of course, but on the whole it is a great scientific marvel doing the daily work of mankind everywhere. ! o ;" . A remarkable case of foresight is suggested by the an ' cient book recently dug out of a library in Oxford, England, which was written in the 12th century, by an English monk. "As an appcl (apple, the urthe (earth) is round," this an 'cient thinker wrote. Mighty few people would have believed that idea then. Two centuries or more later, Columbus had all kinds of trouble persuading the men of his day to put up .enough money to let him prove that the earth was round, so he could find the wealth on the opposite side of it. The ideas ; that have benefited the world the most are slow in getting udopted. It is well not to rush too quickly to the support of -every new fancy. Yet in our fear of change, the world is constantly turning a deaf ear to those who have a vision of . future truth. y An innovation in Queensland in Australia consists of a -'domestic science train, which goes out through the country districts, and gives classes in cooking, laundry work, needle craft and housekeeping to girls in various localities. The ", majority of girls in this country seem more concerned to , "learn some details of business by which they can support .themselves for a few years before they marry, than they are . to acquire those domestic arts by which they can keep a fam . jly:in comfort after marriage. This Australian plan cor rectly recognizes that the first business of women is to nian Hgt; homes efficiently. According to the opinion of many wise women, a large part of the broken homes of today are ' due to the fact that the women do not know how to cook. Pretty hard to maintain peace in a home when the biscuits '. are doughy and the pie only half done. . ; o It has been complained for some years, that young men would not go into the mechanical trades. Hut at last, they seem to be showing more sense and going into the well paid building industry. A recent report states that the supply of lalmr for this trade, both skilled and unskilled, is sufficient . for existing needs except in a few cities. The supply of such labor, it is stated, is constantly being reinforced from the ' apprenticeship schools. Apparently young men are making up their minds that the glory of wearing a white collar and Htore clothes is not adequate to compensate for the lower wages often paid in clerical work. ,They are apparently con cluding that no disgrace attaches to overalls. This is a truth which the philosophers have long been preaching, but many , have seemed to question it. . o I That was a terrible "joke" they put over on l!ob Stan- field at Ual'er Sunday. l.ut the biggest joke of the whole . affair is the fact that political friends of the senator want Governor I'ierce to shoulder the responsibility for the al leged "franieup." What next will they hang on the governor".'

Don't be inquisitive about the affairs of even your most Intimate friends. Don't underrate anything because you don't possess it. Don't believe anyone else is happier than you. Don't conclude that you have never had any opportunities in life. Don't believe , all the evil you hear. Don't repsat gossip, even If it does interest the crowd. Don't jeer at anybody's religious belief. Learn to hide your aches and pains under a pleasant smile. Few care whether you have the ear ache, headache or rheumatism. Learn to attend to your own busi ness a very important point. Do not try to be anything else but a gentleman or gentlewoman. and that meana one who has con sideration for ths whole world, and whose life ia governed by the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would be done by. 4 Persistence, force, courtesy and common sense will crack the hard est nut, and there'e a lotta satis faction after the oracking. 5 The man who, after passing, vou I by for ten years, suddenly greets you py your name, hasn't been reading an editorial on courtesy.

See Our Windows Churchill Hardware Company The Iron Mongers State Press Comment X More and More Boards. Sam A. Kozer. secretary of stato, Isaues from time to time a little pamphlet entitled "Items." This pamphlet contains news of the 1 state activities that comes within the scope of Mr. Kosser's office, and is unfailingly IntereHtitiK- i The latest issue of the little news letter sets forth that 25 years ago there existed In Oregon, under con sltutlonal and statutory authority, hut 13 elective and appointive state , officers and a total of 32 state 1 boards and commissions function-1 Ing under constitutional or statu-1 tory authorization. I These J4 hoards and commissions 1 comprise a membership of 310 per sons. Of this personnel, SI are state officers, serving In active or ex-officio capacity, and 229 are citizens appointed by the governor or some agency other than the gov ernor. Of these 64 boards, 52 have been created since the year 1900. One Is struck, of course, by the total number of boards and com missions now functioning. Sixty four bodies and 310 members that ought to be enough, to say the least, for a state of Oregon's size. If they should all meet in Salem at once, residents of that city might be pardoned for think ing the state fair was in session. Hut even more striking is the fact that these governing bodies for that is what they are have grown In number from 22 to 64 In the 25 years Intervening since 1900. During all that time, if memory serves us accurately, there has been agitation for consolidation of boards and commissions. Not a ses sion of the legislature has passed without this question coming up In one form or another. Several political campaigns have centered around this issue. Everybody in Oregon favors In principle consoli dation of boards and commissions, excepting only those in which he happens to be Interested personally. Yet, during this period of agita tion, the number has tripled. What is the answer? Is govern ment by multiplied boards and commissions what the public wants? Either that Is true, or somebody has been flying squarely in the face of public sentiment dur ing these years. Increase from 22 , to 64 In a quarter of a century is certainly a sign that we are mov-1 ing squarely in the direction of complex government hy boards and ; commissions, rather than In the di i reel ton of simplified government. j Eugene Register. I Furtive Jiitlce. It should not be possible fnr the established agen. Itvi of law 'and justice to be so easily and so : uselessly Invoked as seems to jhave been done In the cae of ; eight well-known residents Of iCowlitx county, arretted on chnr jges preferred by A. Kurlr Todd, j deposed mayor of Kelso, and on j warrants too promptly insm d by ja justice of the peace at Castle Rock. i The vases Have been dUmlssod for thn somewhat technical re- . son "that Mr. Todd failed to ap pear In court to support them. Mr. Todd had made charges of a most ferious nature. Including i perjury nnd embezzlement of pub lic funds. He had taken these charges, not to a court competent to institute inquiry hy a grand Jury, not to the penper authori ties of law enforcemert yf the chanty, hut to a Justice of the peace, whose office would have no Jurisdiction over such offenses. and to one situated ia a precinct distant from ths point vhera tb 1 offences were alleged to have been committed. The whole proceeding was fur tive and underhmid. The Castle Rock justice seems not even to have consulted the prosecuting attorney of the county, who of necessity must have handled the cases, had they ever been brought to trial before a court, of compe tent jurisdiction. The warrants, were turned over, not to the she riff or uny of bis deputies, but to Mr. Todd. Aside from personal considera tions, and apart from the tur moil of Kelso and Cowlitz county politics, the indlcent calls atten tion to the need of a better un derstanding and more accurate functioning of the processes of justice. What has Just occurred in Cowlitz county should not have occurred. It should not be pos sible for such things to occur. Here, on the lowest level of the Judicial structure, Is an abuse that calls as Insistently for abate ment as any of those higher up deficiencies of applied Jurispru dence so much discussed in meet tigs of bar associations.

Minister of Agriculture Uurand told the cabi net this morning that this year's wheat crop is officially estimated at 89.000,000 quintals. (A quin tal is equivalent to 20.46 pounds.) Forecasting an estimate of 85. 000,000 this morning, IMfUin pointed out th:t this is 9,000,000 qdlntals more than last years' crop. France's needs amount to 90.000,000 quintals, the paper ad ded, so it would be necessary to import only B, 000, 000. Russia is beginning to export quantities of wheat to France.
