WHEN THE PHESIDEXT COMES T HE PRESIDENTIAL tour is on, and It la high time for those who are to be buglers, eup holders and sword-bearers in J for prevention of hog cholera, but parents, cities and atatea permit the needless sacrifice of innocent chll t'M dren to go merrily on. We apend unlimited money In fighting the beetles and bugs ao our fruits may grow, other money In - aavlng po tato plants- from blight, but the purse atrings shut tight when money la asked with which to fight for sanitary milk. . , : If we are to measure Jlfe by the sordid test, a child Is worth more to the world than a calf or a pig. For selfish reason a we ought to be as ready to save a child from disease aa a -potato -plant' from blight or an apple treefrom the scale.; At ma turity ' the' child, according to ata tifiticlans, la worth an . average of t i A A A anil mtna ai wa 4 Vi a intlnn the rarioua cities to -brash uPthe And theQ there Rre Me that canno;. . plug hat and press the creases Into the best pair of trousers. An admir ing world Is soon to behold those who stand by the presidential aide, and. each fugle man should be pre pared to be at bis best in that glad hour. It la a great lig thing to rev61ve about the mighty and help radiate-the halo of greatness. To determine who should do this in the various cities has caused a-lot of 'neart burnings and no end: ofj anxiety among local statesmen In every' part of the country, . -We had a touch of It in Portland, , but It waa a ' mere ' rfpple compared health. . It Is universally agreed that there are to' be wrenching times ahead In the world. The New York Inde pendent Bays the "problem Just ahead Is which nation haa the most virile men and women with the cleanest bill of health." Rather than apend ao many mllllona for warships, It is a better provision for defense to grasp a national physical Ideal la which more than one man Jn 100 ahall be physically aound. We should rather seek a means of reaching n Ideal physical condition with an ideal capacity for pluck and work. We should seek to be a people of the purest blood, best digestion and largest lungs with the manliest Ideas working In cooperation. i In the main, disease that- lowers our physical standard la not. natural or unavoidable, byt the. roault of human neglect. Physical degenera tion is the direct result of false con ditions that a mere, modicum of, ef fort can set aside. We have fur iously determined to increase the stature aa well as the morala of our oriental subjects. Might we not with equal appropriateness undertake to protect the physical well being of ourselves and, our children? Is it not as well, worth while to save ' a child from impure milk . as 'a pig from' swine cholera T ' . Ing a little excited on his return to warmth. TAIEEFflOW O.

MB. WILSON'S SUGGESTION T (HE EFFICACY of Irrigation has been proven. It Is a new agency that is to powerfully aid men in deriving food prod ucts from the soil. At tbe moment tillable acreage still wild Is disap pearing Irrigation appears to reclaim waste lands, and make them enor mously productive. It "Is, a new ln- splratlbn in. going to the soil for wealth.! Its efficacy for "productiv ity on lands otherwise barren Is a valuable lesson to agriculturists on ? everfr: variety of land. It is so im- s portant,a phase in agricultural en deavorat just this stage of the world's progress, that there is great need for it to be vigorously encour aged. The leadership of the gov ernment in its behalf Is one of the ' broadest and best activities in which any government ever engaged. It is a leadership that ought to be per sisted In, for it Is a function within the proper endeavor of government, and one In which it can Immensely further tbe material, social and eco nomic condition of the people. It Is Indeed, better for government to promote Irrigation than for pri vate capital to do It, because the one Is baaed on giving the reclaimed areas to farmers without a profit, while tbe other levies a toll on agricul tural endeavor, when, aa the drift of population from the farm shows, sericulture should t released from aU poasfble tolls, to the end that id en may find profit enough on the land to Induce them to remain oa and work It - la point, is aa article by A.

In a place such as Portland, with the ocean a few miles away and the river right at hand, women are continually taking foolhardy rinks on and in the water, and it is really a wonder that there are not more serious catastro phles. With the T. W. C. A. awimming pool and the numerous other reliable natatorlums there Is no excuse except gross negligence for women not being aDie to swim. When women come to realise the Im portance of knowing how to swim and pay proper attention to Its practice, there will be more humor and less sense In the old fabled saying of the mother, who gave her daughter permission to ; go swimming, but told her to hang her clothes on a hickory limb, and not go near the water. st K K New TOm Old.
