THE FARM "BLOC"
T HE development of various blocs has been rapid. These cohesive
units amount to the same proposition as class legislation. Among those
making their influence felt in congress are the farm bloc, timber bloc, and
railroad bloc.
The chief cause of these rapidly developing blocs is lack of response
to needs of those elements in the nation around which now group those rep
resenting these blocs. For long years corporate interests retained their
representatives in legislation" halls to look out at all times for their welfare
Other interests have held vantage grounds for themselves also. And during
this period other elements commercial, or industial have just as surely been
allowed to drift.
The former has been the last to profit from what he has seen in others.
He has been the last to "take the cue," to ''tight fire with fire." He has
raised, for example, the livestock, grains and other products which have been
used to clothe and feed the millions of every class and vocation. He has
stood back after the toil and expense of producing the crops have been met
to see the "fine art" gamblers and market manipulators so fix prices as to
make of themselves millionaires and leave for the producers a net sum oft
times less than cost of production.
The farmer or producer waited in vain for congress as a whole to help
him. He complained, pleaded and threatened in vain. Then he, thru the various
organizations where finds expression -"began to round up, define and organize
his forces at the nations capitol and in the state legislatures.
An4 today the farmers of the nation are demanding recognition thru
increase of representation andorganization under the term "farm bloc". The
result snouid be a fairer recognition of agriculture's needs. It should and
does mean that legislation shall be more favorable to thiis great national in
dustry. If it runs to class legislation it is no more than should be expected
under past political manipulations which have forced it to the front.
tatorial elements of any kind in the legislature "would confer a favor on the
constituency by prompt resignation before the session opens.
There should be neither "blocs" nor class nor sectional nor factional leg
islation. There should be no Eastern Oregon, no Portland and no Valley
blocs fighting to.-obtain exclusive favors. It is not necessary. The legislator
of sufficient calibre to sit in the Senate of the House, should possess judg
ment, justice and courage enough to help solve the problems of the entire,
state in a fair and progressive manner. ' ,.
CLEMENCEAU CRITICISM.
jF GEORGES CLEMENCEAU, citizen of a foreign nation, is permitted to
1 use sarcasm and invective against this government while its guest and
while traveling in luxury, feted and protected .by his country; and his country
men both: abroad and here, what shall be done with those local citizens
who, stung by misfortune, and the result of social and industrial inequalities!
shall criticise the government of the U. S. A.
Even admitting Clemenceau's arguments as possessing more or less
merit, his attitude is strangely "converse to that of his government when
urging the American soldiers into Europe to fight for France onlv a few-
months ago.
What Georges' excuse is for his country's shameful attitude toward the
Turks in their recent revelry in spilling Christian blood at Smyrna, he would
better make clear before pushing further Lis "back to Europe" propaganda.

Right Habits For Children Obedience

"THE JUICE."
STANDARD OIL interests of Ohio have declared dividends of 100 per cent.
This is the second 100 per cent stock dividend paid by this company
since the supreme court dissolved the Standard Oil trust ten years ago. Since
1916, the common stock of this company has increased four times. It is now
114,000,000. ' ..
Just think of it! Dividends 100 per cent clip? The farmer, tjhe truck
owner and the average citizen who use either fuel or motor oil or both fur
nish the juice for these delightful melons. John D. and his associates do the
squeezing. The public kick3 butgoes on exchanging juice for rinds.
And yet after threat upon threat is hurled upon the great oil companies
by congress; after investigation upon investigation is 'opened up for the
purpose of showing up profiteering, the great periodic legislative wave set
tles back from its roar and bluster to an almost perfect calm awaiting the
fathering of another new and equally impotent storm. ,
Meanwhile J. D. smiles, cuts "coups," endows colleges and plays golf,
With the safe assurance that big "biz" is still safe.
BREADTH OF VISION.
rpHE PE,OPLE of Oregon demand of their legislators reduction of taxes,
less boardB and commissions and. greater efficiency in government of the
state. These conditions cannot be obtained thru factional, sectional or even
partisan Irritation. And the legislator who has no broader vision, nor more
backbone than to allow himself to be used for a buffet for quarreling or die-

early in life.
Everyone interested in the children
of today desires to see them develop
into good boys and girls and later into
the right kind of s citizens. Good hab
its are, however; essential in the
child's life if he is to become a good
citizen.
There are many ideals and stand
ards to be desired, many good habits
that should be formed in early child
hood truthfulness, 'honesty, justice,
cleanliness, service, courtesy and obe
dience. In this brief article we are to
consider but one, obedience, to the
laws of home, school, state and coun
try. "'
The lack of respect for and obedi
ence to the laws of the group in both
adults and children is one of the ereat-
est dangers of our country today, yet
tne great men of our country Wash
ington, Lincoln and Roosevelt had
the utmost respect for alw and order.
If we are to have law-abiding citizens,
we must nave obedient children in the
home and school.
It is a common criticism today that
children do not obey. If this is a just
necessary to save him from serious
injury. The habit of obedience trill
never be formed through making un
reasonable or unjust demands, but a
demand once made should be followed
to the end absolute obedience.
There is no place in society- where
the law-breaker is welcome 4here is
no gang or group in cMtd life in which
the child is wanted. wt does not re
spect the law of the group. The child
who does not obey will develop into a
citizen havina Bttle or no resDect for
the laws of the comunity.
A free country-ia not a place where
every Individual does as he nleases re-
gardless of the rights of his neighbor,
but a place where every individual has
a right to the opportunities of the
land and the privilege of making the
most of them, provided he does not in
terfere with the rights of other mem
bers of society. , . ;
It is the duty of each to obey the
laws of the group, and the place in
which this respect for law, order and
the rights of others should be incul
cated is the home. .
Roses
Roses red in my garden call;
Like drops of rich wine their petals
fall.
Coral-hued rosea nod and smile,
Coquette with hearts that are free
from guile.
Stately white roses, pure as snow
Whisper of deathlands where spirits
go.,
Soft yellow roses, fragrant and rare,
Offer me gold untouched by care.
Which shall I choosa.for the crystal
urn?
My heart decides to the red I turn.
For the red rose means love and I love
it best
Of all that bloom in the rose-famed
west. ' Jannette Martin.
The "Christ of the Andes" is a statue
of the Savior, cast in the bronze from
the cannon of opposing Argentines and
Chileans, standing nearlv 13.000 feet
above the level "of the sea at Cambre
Pass, on the mountain frontier between
Argentine Republic and Chili. It was
placed there in March, 1904, as a sym
bol of the perpetual peace which was
then sworn to by the opposing nations.
An inscription on its base reads,
"Sooner shall these mountains crumble
to dust than shall the people of Argen
tine and Chili break: the peace which
they have pledged themselves at the
feet of Christ the Redeemer." -

BANNER THOUGHTS IN POETRY
Peace Is Mine
Grace M. Parker.
Before Truth came, my heart knew
naught but sadness; .
Until I, learned of Love, my world
was drear.
But now into my life is woven glad
ness, And peace is mine, for Good is ever
. near.
I did not know the birds could sing
so sweetly,
I did not know the .flowers could
bloom so rare;
But since .Truth came to fill my life
completely,
The light of Love divine is every
where. -
Without this. Love the world would
lose its brightness;
Without this light the sky would
seem so gray; ,
Without this Truth to giv,e my heart
its lightness '
The night would never turn into the
. day.
When erring thought would change my
right endeavor,
I turn to God and find sustaining
rest;
Divine Love doth indeed endure for
ever.
And I rejoice, for I am truly blest.
