;;;! One of the favorite topics for conversation among the
parlor socialists has to do with the theorem that machinery
is-enslaving man'. We will,
ed by the very machines we
editors of the futuristic little
wail. ' ' ' ' ' ' '
. ., Writing for the Journal of Wall Street, Secretary of La
bor Davis presents the case of the machine in a light which
at first blush might seem to uphold this theory. At the pres
ent time, says Mr. Davis, the machine is creating unemploy-
ment. With consumption of all products at 'a record iVinrk,
. production of most manufactured articles has been increased,
but the efficiency of the machine has made:it possible, to dt
this record amount of work with a smaller number of men
. than was needed when machines were less efficient and moro
-workers therefore employed.
This surplus of workers over jobs is not actually criti
cal, though it is estimated that present production is being
obtained by 7 per cent fewer workers than would be em
ployed were machine production efficiency what it was in
1919. It does raise the question of whether or not "motive
power and automatic machinery are going to bring chronic
and increasing unemployment." '
To the layman, there is apparently no limit to the
things which automatic machinery cannot be made to do, and
if super-machines keep coming, requiring the servicos ot
fewer and fewer workers, the ultimate situation wil be that
the machine will have brought poverty. ,.,. . v
Those who argue that machines are enslaving would
solve the problem by limiting production and dismantling
those machines which create unemployment. They would go
back to the old guild system or, better still, go even further
back to the day when every men was his own hewer of wood
and drawer of water. ; This is of course arrant nonsense.
. ' "... The. Department of Commerce Year Book, just publish
ed declares that the record prosperity of the current year
can bo traced "to increased efficiency of both industry and
trade." . ' , " ,
The hope of the machine-unemployment situation lies in
the possibilities for the increasing efficiency of trade. Po
tential foreign markets to consume the increasing output oi
our efficient machines have barely boon scratched,' and it if
net ir.ci'o ompty prophesy to predict that the development of
these foreign markets can more than make up for surplus
machine-ago production. ,

; 'ROSEBUItG'S WATER SUPPLY. : ' . ' "' I
Malicious reports to tho contrary, Rosoburg's . water
supply is of the highest standard. Samples taken from the
North Umpqua river and submitted weokly.to the state board
of health show no contamination whatsoever. Alwaysdur
ing the extreme dry season of tho year, there is more or less
pollution in numerous small streams throughout the state,
but the source of this city's water supply is of the highest
standard, i niighty pleasing condition to our citizens general
ly. But, regardless of tho fact that the local water company
is taking every precautloit possible for tho benefit of tho
public, malicious rumors have already! gained ' circulation
lero to the effect that our water supply is contaminated,
which, of course, is deliberate falsehood. If it were other
wise the public would have tho facts through the columns of
.this paper for we are keeping in close touch with the weekly
reports being received from the state board of health con
cerning the purity of our drinking water. A lot of damage
can be done a community by circulating rumors concerning
the city's water supply, particularly when there is no rea
sonable grounds for such reports. Our water supply is ab
, solutely pureit is being tested weekly and there is io like
lihood that any other condition will prevail during the sum
nior months.
' West Point Military academy's 'announcement that two
soldiers from the ranks of the regular army had walked off
'With scholastic honors this year but parallels the experiences
of many colleges and universities: the students from the
ranks are most often found to have passed through tho bar
. rages of examinations with best records. At Harvard, Yale
j and Princeton, men from the public schools always show up
', better in their studies than men from the private schools. In
I spite of tutoring and exceptional opportunity, the man with
the pampered education cannot, or at least does not, hold his
own with tho man from tho more unpromising source who
has had to dig for his knowledge. Why tho buck privates al
ways seem to do best is something to mako the educational
theorists ponder long and deeply.

Science can predict an eclipse of the sun over a period

ply and is sent to the Rtalo board
of health for examination. This
sample is tested tu the state lab

the last sample, whlch was taken,
on the 15 was received this morn
ing the sample being given an "A"
