A CRIME.
Nearly all our local democratic
writers are choking with indignation
over the betrayal of the preferential
primary by the old guard at Chicago.
There was Hiram Johnson. He had
113 votes pledged to him by vote of
the people 113 votes out of 984
and he did not get the nomination.
The fundamental principle that the
tall should wag the dog was sunk
without a trace. It was outrageous.'
But why go to Chicago to find
cause to choke with indignation?
Here at home the old guard in the j
democratic party received a trounc
ing in the democratic primaries. The
war horses, the stalwarts, the bour
bons who were running for delegate
were left at the post. A former can
didate for governor, a former can
didate for congress,- an ex-United
States district attorney, the organizer
of the renowned Woodrow Wilson
league, and others who have fought
and bled without hope for the good
of the democratic party, were told
lowance for lean seasons. The yield
was not unusually low, and the price
received for wheat was high by com
parison with the average of a series
of years.
The acreage represented in the re
port Is only about one-twerity-second
of the total wheat acreage of the
state. It is impossible to say. how
nearly precise the figures are as to
the state as a whole, but it is fair to
assume that they are not a great
way from the truth. As to average
yield, they correspond quite closely
to other determinations. They are
in any event, exceedingly thought
provoking, and they are likely to
set other farmers to keeping books.
This may be beneficial in two ways;
it may result in abandonment of at
tempts to grow wheat on land un
suited for it, and in adoption of
methods calculated to increase the
yield per acre. But it may also re
sult in a change to other and more
profitable crops. In which event
there is not a bright prospect that
the public will very soon obtain a
cheaper loaf of bread.

COMMENCEMENT DAT.
Not every young student who prides
himself this month on the glory of
achievement of which the diploma
of graduation Is the outward and
casual symbol will have troubled
himself to Inquire why the day on
which he completes a prescribed
course of study Is called "commence
ment day." Tet it is true, as here
and there a callow youngster dimly
apprehends, and as his more experi
enced elders are competent to tell
bim, that it is called that because
it is the point at which, If he has
been duly diligent and has wasted
nniv a ffiw of his opportunities, he
has hemin to be qualified for the
fcirVior studies, or for the vocation
toward which his preparation has
been taking him. The student will
have accomplished about as much as
onirht to be expected of him if he
grasps the essential motive of that
which has gone before. Not the piti
fully inadeauate store of facta with
which hjs mind has been charged,
nor the modicum of technical train
ing that has been thrust on him, but
the glimpse of the beyond that has
been vouchsafed him constitutes the
masiKiira o f his education. Those
who regard a' diploma as the war
rant of a completed task have mis
taken the whole purpose for which
schools are maintained.
We think that 1920 will go down
in history as having been remarkable
for the fact that more young "grad
uates" than ever before are aware
of the meaning of "commencement"
and of the association between "grad
uation" and "gradation." In part
this is due to the war, which gave
us our most significant opportunity
to grade our young men according
to their usefulness; in part it was
already indicated by a growing de
sire for training that was manifest
when the war broke out. But it
means a good deal, wherever and
however the beginning was made, to
know that enrollment in the colleges
of the country is a full fourth greater
than it was in the previous high
record year of 1916, and that every
where preparations are being made
for continued growth. Comprehen
sion of the true meaning of "com
mencement," having been obtained
in the intermediate grades, is likely
to be of vast service in all the years
to come; it will be of greater value
than all the facts ' and formulas in
any curriculum.
It has been a year of "drives" for
education, from one end of the coun
try to the other. That the alumni
of many an endowed institution
should have responded nobly to the
demands made on there has proved
business. .
Who won but the common people?
It was field day for the unknowns.
Now there is a vacancy in the
list of delegates. ' By all the rules
or justice and precedent the next
highest candidate should be ap
pointed. But the whisper is heard
that the old guard which still con
trols the state committee will turn
him down for one of their own number.
The true heir to honored place is
no other than a modern seer. He
can peek into the future and fore
tell exactly what is going to happen.
He says so himself, candidly and
publicly. And he does it without use
of ouija board or other mechanical
device. It's a .gift, all his own.
The advantage of having a seer on
the Oregon delegation is -perfectly
obvious. He could guide his fellows
unerringly to the band wagon. But
the old guard must be satisfied. Re
nounced by the plain people, it re
fuses to heed the verdict. Rule or
ruin. It will have its way.
Ah-hemI We are choking with
indignation ourselves.

PORTLAND. June 16. (To the Edi
tor.) Some citixens of Polk county
are endeavoring to change the loca
tion of the west side highway as es
tablished by the state highway com
mission. This highway has been
planned by the commission to run in
a more or less straight line from Mc
Minnvllle south through Amity. Rtck
reall to Dallas and another stub from
Independence to Monmouth.
The citizens of Dallas and Inde
pendence .contend' that the road
should run through these two places.
Interest in this matter is not locr.1.

. WHITHER ARE WE DRIFTING?
Over in Czechoslovakia in the first
popular election for the national as
sembly twenty-two parties .were in
the field and sixteen gained repre
sentation. This is one of the delights
of proportional representation.. Ev
ery aspirant for office can have his
own party or clan.
In far-off Czechoslovakia the peo
ple divide first on racial lines. A
Czech will not vote for a ' German
or a German for a Czech, or a Magyar
ordinarily for either of the others or
either of the others ordinarily for a
Magyar. So each race divides again
along class, occupational or religious
lines, while some who are not im
bued with class, craft or religious
consciousness divide along political
lines.
We are not so far behind the
Czechoslovaks at that. Before the
primary the republicans divide into
little groups. That is to say, the
leaders and counselors go off to
rooms and behind closed doors pre
pare tickets nicely slated along re
ligious and occupational lines. Even
racial differences cropped out in the
recent election. Among the demo
crats, where the tree Is bare except
for one big plum or two on the top
most branches, the pre-primary split
is into only two factions. Nothing
so promotes selfish group govern
ment as hunger for office. Under
the Oregon system everybody is pre
sumed to be hungry and nearly ev
erybody is. The more offices in
sight the more the party fragments,

True Antrlrau for Teachers.
PORTLAND. June 16. (To the Ed
itor.) In editing my statement pub
lished in The Oregonlan there was
omitted the most important part. It
is this:
"I believe that directors and teach
ers should be people who believe in
public schools, whose service- is a
labor of love, and not a perfunctory
performance while the heart is in
other things."
The central point in this contro
versy is Americanism, ana unless a
teacher believes 100 per cent in free
institutions, of which the public
school is the chief, he should not be
selected to teach what he does not
believe, as either the service will be
merely formal, or else he will teach
or insinuate what he does believe,
in either of which cases his services
should be dispensed with.
It is idle to say that Americanism
should be taught in the schools; it
is already part of the curriculum;
but the people who teach Jt should be
lieve in it. or it becomes an empty

RIDGE FIELD, Wash., June 15.
(To the Editor.) In The Oreponian I
note the letter from "Cordule," de
fending the robin red breast, and
roundly scoring those who are in
clined to class Sir Robin among pests.
Now I have a very vivid -imagina
tion I'll admit. I am also a lover of
birds and I hold no special grudge
against the robin, so long as he at
tends strictly to his own business;
but when Bald robin wantonly de
stroys berries, .as he does here, he
and I cease to be friends.
It may be that I misjudge the robin
family when I Judge them all by the
ones I am acquainted .with. If I do,
I am truly sorry.
Will Cordule be so kind as to tell
the rest of us what sort of muzsles
the robins are equipped with, around
White Salmon? Also, how to induce
Sir Robin to wear the muzzle?
This information would be .greatly
appreciated by all I -am .sure, as no
one wishes to kill the robin or any
other song bird, just for the sake of
killing.
It may be that a robin will pass a
loaded berry vine without taking the

of the choicest berries if you allow
him to tarry an instant. It may be,
