BaJIj, singly copy fa Daily, per week ifa Dally, per month age "Fifty per coiit of the children doing absolutely nothing," is rather a stai'' tllng statement In the report of Uie recreation survey made by the board of education and child welfare commit slon of Milwaukee. A play expert of the national recreation association Rowland Haynes formerly a special ist In psychology, spent several weeks in making the study. Information was gathered as to what the children In a given district were doing on Sat urday and after school hours, It was found that 19 per cent were work, Si per cent playing and 50 per. cent were doing absolutely nothing. It is be lieved that these' facts gathered In Milwaukee are fairly typical and pre sent a strong argument for the neces sity of providing adequate play grounds for children. "Doing noth ing" Is tremendously dulling and rs suits In filling up the juvenile courts We are going to have a Are truck, a modern and advanced method of method of fighting fires and of reach ing the fires. Now, then, Mr. Council men, get together on the type. While careful consideration and study Is necessary, unnecessary, dilatory tac tics should not and probably will not be resorted to. Civic Improvement In La Grande now fostered by the Neighborhood club and under consideration by the city authorities, . should be helped along by the public at large. Hand n hand with this campaign should go willing desire on the part of residents to connect up with sewers; unsanitary outhouses are altogether too .numer ous, anyway. TEA TO BE GROWN IN THE UNIT ED STATES. There are many earmarks of 111 breeding but most glaring of all 13 talking and loud whispering In an op era house or auditorium when . the better bred portion of the audience Iv trying- to hear what Is being said on the stage. The Indications are that during the democratic convention at Baltimore the hotel rates will be so high 'that on. ly aviators will be able to reach them In the bathtub case, It looks as If someone had lost the soap. nated. lie ought not to be elected "He is a standpatter. He la .u Joa Cannon republican, He was run bv Cannon, voted by Cannon and bosso.l by Cannon, "Cannon voted him. for everything that Big Business wanted, and against everything that savored of progrea slveness. Cannon voted him for the trusts, and voted hlin against every measure that proposed reduction of the high cost of living. "Cannon was his master and hh idol. Cannon breathed the breath of political action Into him, and corked or uncorked hlra, at will. When Can- Jthumbs went up, and when Cannon non order thumbs up' Judge Ellis ordered 'thumbs down,' Judge E11I3' thumbs went down. Jugde Ellis is a genial gentleman, but In congress he was Cannon's pawn. Cannon moved him here or moved him there, and Judge Ellis al ways stayed put. Irrigation Fund Lost. "How it ever happened, nobody knows, but It was Judge Ellis' com mittee of the house that cut out the now famous section nine of the Irri gation act, which action deprlveJ Oregon of the' right to demand by law her full share of the Irrigation funds "Being on the committee that origi nated the legislation, and having full voice with all other committeemen, It is Impossible, understand why Judge Ellis raised no objection, . registered no protest or went before the publlj with no opposition, but tamely . per mitted the law to be changed to Ea3t ern Oregon's derlment. Of all the men in congress he was In a position to presevent the change but nobody knows, nobody has ever heard, why he permitted It to go unchallenged."

Lieutenant Geneiril Yusaku Hyhara today was appointed war minister of Japan, succeeding tne late minister, Shlaroku Isslmoto, Hy hara served as a staff officer In the Jap-Chinese war. In the Russo-Japa nese war he was chief of staff to General Nodzu. The department of agriculture at Washington holds out the hope that tea may be produced in the United States at a profit and In quantities sufficient to meet the demand here. The Imports of tea annually are from J 16,000,000 to $17,000,000. The depart ment gives the results of experiments which lead to the conclusion that tea raising can be made to "pay." But the work calls for large capital and for skill and care. Not less than $50,000 would be required to finance a tea plantation of two hundred acres, and It would b"e several years before any income would be received. Then, with -the right supervision and marketing, it would be possible to secure a prof it, and the Indebtedness could be paid In 16 years. ' After that It would be "velvet" with a steady income of $10, 000 annually. This may prove Invit ing to those who have borrowing abil-1 p ity, patience and "nerve," but the 4 probability is that we shall continue i -to Impart tea.
