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.

PEAKING of butter the Ore-
gonian said:
There was a 2 cent cut in
butter in Portland , yesterday.
The tariff Is the principal cause.
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

hood of man. 1 It - must also be
made to mean unity of church effort.

encourage education of the child in
the home. Complaint is ,being
made that the; schools are over
crowded and burdened with the
number of studies they have to un
dertake. 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.

Life will look different when every
human being is given a chance, and

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.

The Impression used to be general
that the Salvation Army would vanish
with its founder. 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

The Indebtedness of America to the

sion prophetic.
The recognition in recent years of
the presence and Influence of the
prophetic mantle, however, has been
In some measure defeated by a type
best designated as the Rev. Miss
Nancy. Prim and pretty; soft and
superficial; Identifying a clerical cos
tume with a clergyman s character;
toying with modern problems, but
never really tackling them; preaching
about grace, never about grit; tether
ing great truths to small orthodoxies
and advertising particular eccleslastl-
clsms as the only channels through
which ethics may be realized, and the
good, the beautiful And the true ef
fectualized; flaying most courageously
the man In the moon, but massaging
with olive oil the man in the pew, on
the street, and in the office, wno

lenged by the rigor of elevated ideals
and to be condemned for prone and
sprawling attitudes before the heathen
altars of tbe great god Bulk.
