" THE SEW MEDICIXB
THE ERA of growth is in the
world. It is nowhere - more
' I marked than . .in medicine.
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

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

A legislature cannot repeal a con

attempts to take the' power from the
people which they ; have secured,
there "will be a good deal worse "tur

of it will be the party of which Mr,
Bennett is so ardent a' champion. '
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. Another comment on Mr. to
