There Is a mighty contrast be tween modern treatment and that of "the country doctor with his bloody: lancet who bled every ailment from irash to vertigo..-'i There Is contrast I equally great between the present perlence and the responsibilities are factors in fixing the value of service. The policy of the system with ref erence to results to be accomplished, with reference to permanency of the teachers, the amount of money avail' able, the demands upon available funds for extension of building equip raent, all these are factors of which there must be exact knowledge be' fore a sound opinion can be formed. Therefore, a labyrinth of complexity opens before an uninformed layman who attempts to determine what shall be a correct distribution In thepro- posed advances of teachers salaries. To all these matters great study has been given by members of the school board. Of these there are five. One opposes the plan recom mended. Four are ' in . favor of It. Here is the best available knowledge on the subject. It Is the business of the board to be thoroughly In formed on every point at issue. The probabilities are that' it is so In' formed, and that its conclusions are approximately -.correct. There is at least the assurance that the board stands four to, one in favor of the present plan and that even the one believes - there should be some ad vance. That is its conclusion after years of experience In the schools, after years of familiarity with all the details of the school work, after years of intimate relation with the instrumentalities and assets In the work, and what is more Important than all, after several months of patient study of the Ealary question itself in all its relations and bear Ings.; Of what value then is an aver age opinion by the average, man as to the equities in comparison with that of the board itself? The Journal regrets that, there seems likely to be a lack of funds for making the 20 per cent flat ad vance in salaries. It would be glad if means could be found for a larger advance of all the grade teachers, particularly those at the lower rungs of the ladder. There is not the slightest question that the latter de serve a greater advance than is pro posed. There is not the slightest doubt that some of them are pressed by financial, problems. There Is not the slightest doubt that it is as es sential to have good brains and good experience for the younger children as for the older ones. There Is not the slightest doubt but' this Is point that the board should .thor oughly recognize and as soon as pos Bible remedy. Along with it, how' ever, there . Is ' the knowledge that each year an automatic advance is provided f or. y This advance Is- I stable policy designed to secure per manency In the work. It is in line with the best' experience and the best intelligence in school ethics and control. It Is a means for securing the best service and for lifting the teaching profession to a' permanent basis. It is encouragement for those in the lower ranks, who must real ize that time will rapidly bring about that which for the moment is denied In .the whole matter It is of the utmost4: Importance that there be a large attendance of taxpayers at the West Side High school building Mon day, night. The matter at issue is of much moment. Of all In the conv m unity teachers, are worthy of their hire. They are,, next to parents. closest of all in touch with that which will be the future life of the republic. Their responsibilities are enormous and their remuneration should be . adequate.

She really is not in condition to do so yet. Can you do anything for her?" Another read: "Patient Is completely run down, overworked and played out.

Medical science has learned that ; at the root of the great destroyers tuberculosis, typhoid fever, children's ; diseases, lie malnutrition, hunger, wretched housing conditions, dirty : streets in other words, poverty and social neglect. Many diseases strike not merely the isolated . individual; they endanger the city and the state. ; Diseases of vice are usually diseases ' of poverty, ignorance and evil en- vironment, which can never r; be reached by any mere medication of , the individual. Medicine is thus seen to be bound up with all sorts of so ciological, political, ethical and eco nomic problems. Yesterday no med ical college gave courses in psycho therapeutics or in psychology. To aay, in tine wun ine new Knowledge and broadened medicine, several strong courses in these subjects have :been established. In. short, just as Ihe church is beginning to discover that the man has a body as well as a soul, the medical profession is dis covering that a man has a soul as in the, medical profession are bring ing to the world. EDITOR BENNETT AND "FOOL" PEOPLE. ' THE T iHE OPTIMIST, published at The Dalles by that ever active and interesting person, "Old Man" Bennett, not only wants the leg islature to elect a Republican and not Chamberlain to the senate, but he wants "the Republicans of the state to get together and decide that we have had about all the crazy leg islation we can stand, and then wipe a lot of these- tool laws off of the statute books." He says that unless this is done there will not only be a constant political turmoil, endanger ing Republican success, "but we will make such a name for Oregon that we will not get the settlers we are entitled to, and Oregon will not ex perience the growth that her sister states will. People will not settle in a ft ate where cranks and fools are the awmakers, and where the statutes are so framed that the majority is pow erless to adopt needful legislation, and just as powerless to prevent fool laws from being adopted." But it takes a majority to enact or defeat legislation now. And if the people of Oregon are "cranks and fools," wouldn't it be better for the minority to enact laws? But from the state, with due respect for the ardently partisan editor of the Optimist, it is nonsense. This posi tion that Oregon has taken in the matter of self-government will at tract rather than repel bettlers. Ore gon people are no more "cranks and fools" than those of other states; rather they are more intelligent, progressive and consequently more politically independent. And there Is little doubt that if they could get the proper machinery made and put into motion the people of most states would follow the example of Oregon on the Willamette locks is encour- everywhere and always bring flock agement to congress, or will be I tag thousands to a leader's standard sometime, to give Oregon aid on all!

' F COURSE we should all he glad to have the national gov ernment bear the whole cost of the Willamette project: but what, is -the use of talking about that? What single ray of hope is there that the national government will do it? Even with the state standing at the doors of congress and offering to bear half the cost that body does not even hold out a prom ise that it will act. The only nrom ises the people of Oregon ever get on tne subject is in campaign time. It is two years since the Oregon legis lature passed a bill offering to bear hair the expense. Congress met and deliberated nearly six months, but gave no sign of action. Senator Pul ton Introduced a Joint resolution ask ing for" a resurvey of the locks, but even that harmless measure failed to j)ass. It died the death of the in nocent in the capacious bowels of a senate committee, where it still lies buried. Congressman Hawlev nrom- ised the legislature that if the state's offer would be made to provide half instead of all the cost, as was pro posed, he would get the balance from congress.' That was a promise that must have called all Mr' Hawley's powers Into subsequent play in the effort to make good. It did not uc ceed then, and from the signs there is little prospect that it will succeed at the present session. What Is the use then for us of Oregon to talk about getting the federal government to bear all the cost We have waited on the federal government for more than 30 years. If we pursue the policy are we not likely to still be waiting, and is not. the private mo nopoly likely to be still collecting its unnatural toll when Gabriel blows his trumpet on resurrection morn? What else do the signs and omens In the heavens and at Washington mean? Business is business and nonsense Is nonsense. The Willamette project and Its solution is jthe test of the capacity of the people of Oregon tor progress. The key to commercial thrift and commercial greatness is cheap transportation. If the trans portation cose remains high, it sucks the lifeblood out of commerce. ?i If that cost is made low, it stimulates production, stimulates commerce and makes wealth. That is a law as in exorable as the law of gravitation, and the sooner it is accepted as troth by all the people of Oregon the bet ter tor the state and its economic life. . It is understood In Illinois and that state is spending $20,000,000 In opening its , state waterways.' ' It is understood .la New York and that state ls spending $110,000,000 Von the Erie; canal. If Oregon' spends $800,000 or a million on the Willam ette project It will spend but a frac tion In proportion to Jjbese two pro gressive etatPB. P ment, in the economics of society, which Mr. Shaw supports, that needs correction. That Socialism is not the proper antidote to plutocracy does not prove that plutocracy does not exist, nor that it is not a great evil.

Still, though the progress and development of science may seem to be unlimited, there is a region beyond her reach a line with which she does both instances the citizenship of the I not even tend to inosculate.

In all this we deal with physi cal laws, and the mind runs freely along the line which connects the phenomena, from beginning to end. But when .we endeavor to pass, by a similar process, from the region of physics to that of thought, we meet a problem not only beyond Our present powers, but trans cending any conceivable expansion of the powers we now possess.
