DISPOSITION.
A cheerful, gerval, serene spirit
is the source of a'l that is noble and
goo. Wha'ever is accomplished
of th? greatest and the noblest sort
flows from such a sunshiny dispo
sition. Petty gloomy, brooding
souls, that on'y morn the past and
dread the future, are not capable of
seizing upon the holiest and grand
est moments of life. Schiller.
ONE REASON County School Su
THEY DONfT perintendent T. J.
Gary was asked the other day why
school children did not spell better.
He said they did that investigations
had shown that the youngsters of to
day spelled much better than did the
lads and lassies of several years ago.
This answer not being particularly il
luminating as to the line of inquiry
that was started, his interrogator
framed his query In another way.
"Why do the school children of to
day spell average, everyday words so
miserably?" And to this Mr. Gary
made answer that it was because
they were taught to spell a large
number of words that they would seldom-
have occasion to use. The chil
dren, he said, were drilled in the
spelling of scientific terms, in
words that one seldom finds outside
of the higher classics, and in "trick
words." But such words as "though,"
"thorough," "through," and a host of
simple words that are used in every
day life they are not drilled in, and
therefor their struggles with them
are weird and wonderful to behold.
Mr. Gary, naturally, did not care to
criticize the state board that outlines
the course of study in spelling, and
that fixes the lists of words that
shall be taught in spelling. It is not
his place to do this, perhaps. But it
seems it ought to be somebody's place
to jar the educational leaders of tie
state so that it will be impossible for
a boy or girl who is a student at the
state university to write such a sen
tence as: "It was there duty to get
ehe sleeted stock over the counties
line." Yet this was written by a uni
versity senior recently who was strug
gling mightily to express the thought
more clearly carried by "It was their
duty to get the selected stock over
the county's line." There is some
thing wrong with a school system
that permits boys and girls to attain
the age of university schooling, and
that teaches them everything under
the sun but "the three Rs." The
cause for the trouble ought to be lo
cated, and the trouble itself ought to
be remedied, and remedied at once.
A QUESTION Every now and then
OF VERACITY something bobs up
that casts discredit upon the North
west, and when the matter is run
down it is found that some too ardent
booster has been exaggerating facts,
and that some over-keen Easterner
has nailed the lie, and has therefor
concluded that all news of the North
west is of the same calibre. There
are two cures for this sort of thing:
one is to "tame down" all boosting
news so that the Northwest will un
derstate its resources, and the other
is to tell the East some of the weird
yet apparently impossible truths
about this section of the country, and
to convince them that they are true.
Once they learn that the apparently
impossible is really true, they will
be apt to believe everything. For in-
Indians Resent
Being Called the
"Vanishing Race
By Dr. FRANK G. SPECK,
Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania
HE AMERICAN PEOPLE SEEM TO TAKE KEEN DELIGHT IN
SENTIMENTALLY BEMOANING THE "POOR INDIAN" AND
BEWAILING THE FACT THAT HIS DAYS ARE NUMBERED.
THE ENTIRE NATION IS POSSESSED OF THE IDEA THAT
THE INDIANS ARE VANISHING, WHEREAS NOTHING COULD BE
MORE UNTRUE.
Numerically the Indians are increasing each year and are now be
ginning to feel their own strength.
The only reason why people consider that the Indians are decreas
ing in numbers is because they no longer see them in paint and feath
ers. Indians are changing their customs, dress and mode of life aa
they are BECOMING MOKE AND MORE PERMEATED
WITH WHITE CIVILIZATION. Generally speaking, the Indians
today all dress as we do. " It would be just as incorrect for the Indians
to call us vanishing because we are not attired in the clothes worn fifty
or seventy-five years ago. Nowadays one may pass Indians in the
streets of our cities every day and never know it.
THE INDIANS THEMSELVES GREATLY RESENT BEING CALLED
A "VANISHING RACE" AND CONSIDER THE NAME AN AFFRONT
TO THEIR NATIONAL STAMINA.
HOME
A good home, especially in
the summer time, makes the
whole family happy. If you
saw the fine green lawn with
roses ready to bloom you would
say "This is where I spend my
vacation." Only 4 blocks from
head of 7th street steps. 5
room modern home, with sleep
ing porch. Wood shed; fine
garden with onions almost
ready to eat. $1259.00, $250.00
cash, balance on 3 years' time
or monthly payments.

stance, if the East was finally con
vinced that on the Oregon coast it
is possible to break out solid rock
from the sea-cliffs and find living
shell-fish imbedded in the material
as is a fact it might be easier to get
them to believe the somewhat less
surprising statement that four and
sometimes five crops of alfalfa can
be harvested in one year from the
same field. Or if the East was once
definitely made to understand that
the velocity of the Nisqually river in
Box Canyon was so great that the
stream actually "runs up hill" for a
part of its way Jo the sea, it might be
more simple to get them to believe
that salmon leap over waterfalls, and
that land is often sold for more than
$2,000 an acre, and is worth it.
Heart to Heart
Talks
By JAMES A. EDGERTON
KEEP STEP
After all. we are soldiers.
But we are soldiers of life, not of
death.
We are soldiers to help each other,
not destroy each other to build, not
tear down.
We are soldiers of peace, not of war.
Yet we must fight fight against ig
norance, fight against laziness, fight
against inefficiency, fight against spe
cial interests that put themselves be
fore the public weal.
The first requisite of soldiers is to
keep step.
They must learn to march and to
march together.
Individualism finds its highest ex
pression in co-operation.
Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are
marching marching where? To a bet
ter civilization.
We keep step with others who are
going in that direction keep step with
progress, keep step with man.
We are an army with banners. On
these standards are blazoned mottoes:
"Efficiency," "Elimination of Waste,"
"Scientific Farming," "Conservation,"
"Organized Industry." "Up to date
Methods."
One man makes a shoe tongue, an
other an upper, a third cuts the tops,
a fourth the sole, a fifth the heel, an
other stitches, and so on till they make
a perfect shoe. Each knows his work,
goes at full speed and makes no false
moves Thus they work in perfect
harmony.
They keep step.
One plays ' the cornet, another the
trombone, a third the clarinet, a fourth
the violin, another the viol, and still
another the drum. Each does his part
in perfect time and tune with the oth
ers The result is music, and all because
they keep step.
One gathers the news, another edits,
a third writes editorialsa fourth base
ball, another solicits advertising, an
other looks after the circulation, others
run the type setting machines and the
presses The output Is the newspaper.
The men who make It keep step.
It is so all through our life. Each
has his special work, his place in the
line, but he keeps step with the others.
Thus the armies of industry march
forward.
And-
The man who loses step must fall
out of the ranks.
Nothing helps ones health more
than a thoro, cleansing purifying

"BT IBRARIES ARE STRONG IN THE PAST, BUT WEAK IN
1 THE NOW.
The library can tell you about emigration from Cain's
flight to "the land of Nod on the east of Eden," but can it
give Taft's message vetoing the immigration bill because of the literacy
clause ? A library can give you all about some things, but can it give
you all about everything up to TODAY i Until it does this it cannot
affect the publicity movement or serve ammunition to the firing line.
I notice a decidedly "literary" tendency among librarians, and a
very natural tendency it is. When reference is made in conversation
or in public meetings to the business side of life and the" library's rela
tion to it some eager friend of culture usually goes through the appro
priate incantations, CALLS UP THE GHOST OF THE CLAS
SICS and in their name exhorts his fellows not to forget that, after all,
the world is MADE GOOD BY DOING GOOD and that the soul
is more than bread and butter and that "the light that never was on
sea or land" is more important than a good supply at a fair price of
electric current.
I have no particular objections to this method of justifying one's
conservatism, of making still more comfortable one's comfortable ad
justment to things as they are.
I WILL SAY, HOWEVER, THAT I SHOULD NOT BE VERY SORRY
