When a man starts out to make a Tool of himself in
public he usually nets plenty of help from the side lines.
The city of La Grande desires an official city flower,
so make your surest ions early. Surely some choice blos
som can he named that will properly typify the beauty and
wealth and charm of this child of the Grande Uonde.
The Idaho State' Journal of Pocatello has made the sug
gestion that the Treasury Department authorize the coin
ing of a Covered Wagon - Oregon Trail half dollar to com
memorate the winning of the Northwest in a fitting way
us the new Stone Mountain half dollars are to depict the
great leaders of the Civil War. Certainly the Old Oregon
Trail and what it has made possible in a great Northwest
is deserving of such recognition.
A FATKFUL AXNIVKKSAKY.
On this, the tenth anniversary of the sinking of the
Lusitania, it is with revived indignation that the country
men of thoM 1,3.)0 jnnoceiu; victims recall to mind this ficmlr.
ish act of a war-crazed nation, and it must be with re
morse that the German people and their former allies re
member their great crime against humanity.
Those who rememler the eventful years from 101 1 tu
1018 are probably convinced today that the United States
would have preserved its neutrality to the end of the World
war had there been no Lusitania atrocity. Although this
country did not declare war on Germany until two years
after the sinking of the Lusitania this outrage against
American neutrality and every humane law was the first
of that concatenation of events which culminated two years
later in the cryslalization of public opinion in this country
against the central powers and sunt the United States into
the war on the side of the allies.
It was the Lusitania that lost tho war to Germany and
Iter allies and brought about the termination of the world's
most devastating war through American intervention.
t.. , KEORGANIZING DRY FORCES,
J-.-.: Prohibition enforcement agents with "gunman and
. money-making proclivities" are to be weeded out of tho
prohibition branch of the revenue bureau by Assistant
Secretary Andrews, of the treasury, the new commander-in-chief
of the dry forces. As one of his first official
utterances in his new office Assistant Secretary Andrews
declared it his duty to abolish "hard-boiled" enforcement
methods and to drive out of the enforcement service those
agents who shoot first and investigate afterwards and
violate the preamble, body and other eighteen amendments
of the constitution in their zeal to get evidence for tho
enforcement of the eighteenth amendment.
Many friends of prohibition believe with the new czar
t:f enforcement that mure conservative and scrupulous
methods of enforcement will better serve the cause of pro
hibition. Not even the most zealous advocates of rigid
enforcement can condone the shooting of citizens in cold
blood by dry agents merely "on suspicion," nor will they
nbet the violating of the sanctity of the home in the name
of the Volstead Act. The public would not long endure
a band of nearly 2000 dry agent; riding dough-shod over
the rights and liberties of the people, invading their homes
without legal authority and murdering innocent persons
and destroying private property without just cause.
No doubt Secretary Andrews is right in his belief tint
the number of the lawless sort in the prohibition forces
is relatively small, but those few should be quickly ejected
before the morale of their colleagues and the law-abiding
portion of the public is broken.

LONDON (AP) That the span
of life run be extended to irn years
at the coat of a sixpence a head.
Is the argument of Sir Itonald I toss,
tho Knglish scientist whose re
searches twivc lead to cures for ma
la Hit nnd sleeping sickness. Sir
llonuld claims that a sixpence from
(he pocket of every Knglishman
(spent in scientific research, would
result In new medical knowledge
that would keep germs and old age
away for ut least 15a years.
The scientist thinks that the Al
lotted span of three score years and
ten should find man in the prime
of life, Instead of edging his pedal
ext remlty toward t lie grave. We
live curtailed lives, he says, because
we lire the prey of countless germs.
Conquer the germs and man can
easily reach the age of 150 and
nioyhe longer.
"Klghty years ago." said Sir Ron
ald In a lecture, "the average life
of u London man was about 34
years 7 months und of n woman
years ond 4 months. Today it Is 5:t
yeurs ft months and fif yenrs. Thus
medical science In SO years has giv
en us 20 years more of life."
This start on cheating eternity
has just begun, the speaker contin
ued. Nowadays t lie equivalent of
one penny n head is being spent In
Britain for research, and he assert
ed that the spending of i sixpence
a head would make the monkey
gland useless,
A scientist of the Tastem Insti
tute in Paris has predicted that In
1 on years from now the average
mun will live to be Uo years old.
Mechuikoff. the Knssian scientist,
has made the same prophecy.
These visions of n future race of
Methusekihs are to materialize
through the agency of the research
laboratory, in Sir KonnhPs opinion.
The laboratory worker in t he
next generation, if allowed full
scope, will trace nil destructive di
seases to their source and extermi
nate them, instead of combating
them after they have appeared. Sir
Honold said. Already research la
boratories are at work on Impor
tant medical problems. The Pas
teur Institute Is seeking to destroy
cancer and tuberculosis and tin
I toss Institute tn London is work
ing for the eradication of leprosy.
Advanced Kmrlisb scientists hone
to see research laboratories In
every large city In the world, fi
nanced by the state or municipality.
In them the search will he curried
on for unseen enemies of the hu-!
man family until the last germ bus'
disappeared. If the medical world!
could spend $ ia,iMMi.(inn annually j
Inst end of J'hio.ooo as now. Sir!
Itonaltl avers, our children's grand-)
children would all be centenarians, j
and at tho I be only pikers to their!
posterity. !
