IT'S ALL wnoxa be It V from The Journal I to say aught in reflection upon local tal ent, for some of the best addresses of the season were by Oregon men. But the annual Gladstone season Is noticeably failing to keep tace with the growth of the community, and to that extent is retrograding. Next year it ought to repair its weak : spots, put on a worthy pro gram, and make an appeal to the public on Its merits. If it does . not do this, it will sooner or later be forced out of business. . , SMITH AND WITHYCOMBE A' kT ALBANY Thursday, Dr. Withycombe declared for a working alliance between the governor and the legislature. He argued that the plan would hold down taxes. Dr. Withycombe's contention Is In line with his opposition to the single item veto as declared in his speech at the Pioneers' Picnic at Brownsville, where he sajd: Now that (the single Item veto) looks splendid, but it looks to me like It would give the governor power to do anything he liked: that any tendency for spite would be greatly aided. It would Afford a splendid cnance for a men who had aUttle spite to make a sharp two-edged sword 'by which he could run tne leg islature. I am very skeptical about this.

But the price has gone up again. The two and a half cent drop was followed by a two and a half cent advance. Since the Oregnian insists that It is the tariff that caused the drop, does it now insist that it is the tariff that caused the rise? If it claims that the tariff did not cause the rise 'of two and one half cents does it still claim that the! tariff did cause the decline of two and one half cents? ' It may be that the Oregonian is time that the churches take up economics, for it is a part of religion.-: Organizations which ' waste effort and n money - intended ' fori Christianity are failing in their mission. ' Dr. Boyd said religion must be made to mean the brother hood of man. 1 It - must also be made to mean unity of church effort. FOR HOME EDUCATION.

There ia more to be done in the development of children thjr the schooling which is given them. The congress holds that there should bo no further lessen ing of education in the home, mak ing that ' point In counteracting a tendency to let the school do every thing for the child, while the pa rents are busy at something else. This con-gress should be the means of calling attention to an evil which ha,s grown Into the re lations between parents and schools. Whenever a child fails to progress as he should, the haudy excuse is "the school." Our educa tional institutions are blamed for faults which are not theirs. The school and the parent should work in close cooperation. All the teaching cannot be done at .home; nor can all be done in the school room. The obligations of parents and teachers to childhood are so closely related and so Intermingled that they cannot be' fully- dis charged unless there is close co operation. Many parents find life so hard that they must use all their time and strength in making a living fcr the family. These people, and oth ers who refuse to cooperate with the schools because of Indolence or neglect, are the ones to be reached. People; are not going to live forever. ghost ridden, habit bound. Institution choked. Some day they are going to wake ud and do things for themselves. The whole community will- realise that by organization they 1 can get beauty, cheer and wisdom for all. Life will look different when every human being is given a chance, and the good things are not reserved for the fatted calves of wealth and priv ilege. - - .

Instead of marking time, hunting Jobs for hench men and fixing political fences. , The national bureau of educatlonas I was about to say, tells In a circular letter what is going on In La Salle, 111. And it Is some goings-on. Tbe people there have established a social center,- grouped around their high school. It serves about 30,000 people from the towns of La Salle, Peru and Oglesby and the surrounding country In the township. First they have a township high school, which teaches not - only the usual nigh school subjects, but trains pupils for ' agriculture, business and teaching. There are fine laboratories. lecture rooms and experimental plots. The acute accent is on the agricultural courses. Also there are splendid opportunities for art and music Olrls are schooled In domestic science. Hot lunches are served. Then there is a social center build ing, attached to the main school build ing by a roofed gallery. Here Is a swimming pool, here are clubrooms," lockers, bowling alleys, a gymnasium, an auditorium, a library and reading room, besides billiard and pool tables. On the edge of the school grounds Is a, hygienic center, an Institution which undertakes to supervise the health of the entire township. It Inspects all school children and sees that they have proper medical at tention. It has a staff of physicians who look after the entire township, watch for contagious diseases and enforce clean liness in streets, alleys and back yards. There, are many foreigners at work In this neighborhood, living In squalid houses. Nurses are sent to their homes. The Institute watches the milk sup ply, tests cattle for tuberculosis, an alyzes the milk and publishes reports in the newspapers. It is altogether a wholesome, re freshing example of an American com munity with some communal common sense, using Its politics to help the people and not to loot and -exploit them.

T IS the opinion of biblical scholars that the discovery of the Nippur tablet, which appar ently ' antedates the Book of Genesis, and attributes the fall of man to Noah, and hot to Adam, Is of no theological importance, hav ing no bearing on the present con ception of Genesis. The historical value of the discovery, though, will probably be of Immense aid to the biblical student and the archaeol ogist. Dr. John P.

Two years have passed since the death of General Booth, and in the interval, the Army so far from fading away, has devel oped as rapidly as at any period in Its history. A correspondent writing of the great conference In London, contrasts the personality of General William Booth with that of his son, Bramwell, who now leads the army. Of the conference as reflected on the streets, he says: "It is the most re markable agglomeration of human types we have- ever seen in our streets In large numbers. There are white faces and brown faces, black faces and yellow faces, Japanese and Koreans, Indians and West Indians, Americans and Australians,- Swedes and Swiss. And though their garb is as various as their speech, . it .has this In com mon, that it is always splashed with red red hats or red robes, red badges and red ribbons. At certain hours. when the tide ebbs and flows from the great Congress hall that has been built in the Strand, the streets seem bright with red. And lt is not only this note of color that Is common to all. In spite of the disguises of tongue and of skin, they are obviously one people, with a common citizenship that ig nores the boundaries of kings and From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
