Naturally its daily welfare is among your first thoughts. But daily welfare is not sufficient. There is a tomorrow—a future—that must be considered. The child of today will not always be a child. Some day it will be a man. or a woman, carrying the bur dens that maturity entails. Children should be prepared for the morrow before the morrow is here. The mind that knows only the things of today soon reverts to those of yesterday. It has no future. It exists upon the present and dwells upon the past. Its vision is limited to the things it has seen and to those that are set before it It is capable of functioning, but not of progressing. It is the mind of the person who is content to take life as it comes, with tittle opportunity for improvement and less effort toward advancement The daily welfare of a child is one of great concern, but the shaping of the mind for the future is of infi- nitely more importance. Unlimited sums for pleasure! Nothing for humanity! Ingratitude for services well per formed! Thousands of rich men will pay . . great sums for the privilege of see ing the fight between Carpentier and Dempsey in New Jersey tomorrasr. Homies of people who can ill afford the price of admission will also view the battle of the pugilistic giants. Rut there are thousands of others who will not see the ‘'mill"—who I could not if they would. They are men who have fought in a greater battle, with nobler impulses, and for a more worthy cause. They are the dek and the crippled veterans of the vorld war—young men who crossed ! the seas and gave of their blood and their manhood in the cause of home 1 and country. These helpless heroes are herded in > over-crowded hospitals or farmed out i to other institutions where neither ' the comfort or the food is what it ' should be. W ill these battered and emaciated ervire men think of the coming fight in their isolation and neglect? They will! They wiM wonder why millions of dollars can be spent on a single prize fight by men who sidestep the expen diture of a few dimes on those who fought in a nobler cause. Thev have reason to wonder, for Oregon is an exception among the states and the nation in dointr justice to its ex-service men. . A metropolitan newspaper points ouf that women have been experi menting in dro-s since the days of Mother Eve. always seeking some thing more becoming, more practical and sanitary, and something that af fords greater freedom of movement. The present short skirt is the re lit of these centuries of experiment ing and perpetual evolution. Everything new attracts attention and comment, until it is accented as a custom. Then it is regarded as right and becomes merely an incident of the day. • Tx>t the women and their short skirts alone. Thev are sane, when not carried to extremes, sensible and sanitary. Mon who are sticklers for long rkirts should don them themselves snd parade tn their hearts’ content. No one win object. DISCOURAGING BUILDING Unquestionably in all citiee there landlords who take advantage of the scarcity of housing to practice most outrageous extortion. The state of New York has enacted a law forbidding the eviction of ten ants who refuse to pay increased ren tals. and the final tribunal has de cided that it is a valid exercise of police power, constitution or no con stitution. 1 Films—Eastman and Defender.

The remedy for high) Bring your foto work to rentals is a surplus of rentable prop erty. The way to get plenty of hous ' ing space is not to discourage build ers with legislation limiting their re turns but to show them that an op portunity exists to make a legitimate | return on a fair investment. If prop erty or the return of property can be confiscated by law, as would seem to be the tendency in the two cases' ita all right or your money back mentioned, how far can the law go in I impairing the right of private owner ship ?

The Roman emperor who would ap- ooint po one but relatives to offices, limited to nephews, fnepotes), was unanimously assassinated. In Wash ington a suit has been brought to test the right of a public official to ap point his wife as hi* deputy. The general practice of employing mem bers of the family in public offices and in the legislature is believed to be one of the causes of high taxes. Too often a politician has very little -ontrol over his family and cannot make them do an honest day’s work at homo or for the taxpayers. Near 82nd St and Powell Valley V- With all the clamor because of high 'axes, little is heard of the causes. We are lawed to death—and a new cul- crop is being assiduously tivated every day. A multiplicity of laws- federal, state and city—means a horde of officials to enforce them and an army of clerks to keep the at tendant records. Is it any wonder the citizens groan when they get their tax bills? It costs money to be inspected by a critical governmental agency every time we turn around We can’t nail two boards on the chicken coop in the back vard. run a wire to furnish electric light for the back porch or sell a quart of milk from the family cow when she is prodg cal in the spring without con sulting some tax-eating official about It and .»curing his approval after a disgusting lot of red tape and draw- ing a blue print of the coop, the por' I I '• • ■ Those of us who are Btill old-fashioned enough to ad here to the custom of kissing our wife before leaving for business in the morning will soon be brought to the pass where we will have to first pass a bacterial inspection and then qualify as experts in the osculatory No wonder living costs money in these piping times of peace, with a horde of parasites living off the body politic. A government officer has invented a gas more deadly than anything else known, and a new shell that will pierce any armor is among the fed eral secrets. Rut neither of them have made the least dent in congress. Milwaukee has put one over on the other enterprising cities of the U. S. A.

Without meat theie is always a feeling of some hing lacking. And if you have meat, and it is not of the beat, the relish is not there. The obvious thing, therefore, is to buy the BEST— meat that produces a relish; that puts you in good humor; that puts you in the pink of condition. The quality of the meat you eat is more important ; than the quantity. It has QUALITY if bought from us. 1 Eg giman’s Market x. ---------------------------- - r GOOD FOR FIFTY VOTES Mt.
