GENEROUS SENATORS,

i HE .Shields waterpowe-' bill
which r has passed the .; United
States senate, "should be ,xe-
: B7 this bill -the last and: great
Jest Of f the country's natural re
: sources on navigable , rivers; would
.be delivered, over Itoithe: spoilers
- with -little ..thought of compen
sation to the. people.: ? To be ; sure
ef ? ' t,he,rnment 1 the hd workintr set-
government of - buying ; back- ltaj tier whose -toil has,' produced!
61,1 the en1, ' hlf ' century-.
Such provision would; !be
mockery at best but-tbe senate' has
made the farce doubly humiliating.
It provides that In buying.; back
the free gifts it bag made to tbe
water barons the country must
pay not only the fall 'value of the
original largest . but tbe unearned
Increment In addition. ,s; ?
- When It comes to adding insult
to Injury the federal senate takes
the cake. X If " the people of the
United States had the right of the
referendum they could make short
work 'with the deviltry of "their
unfaithful servants. As it Is they
can only weep over what they can
not help. The house of representatives-
may reject the senate's "evil
trickery and , the president, as a
l&st resort, may veto It. , But if
these defenses should . fail, as .they
sometimes have.v the . people mujt
grin and bear their losses.
. In 22 days in March, there were
only 30 - fire alarms in Portland
"against 138 during the 31 days ia
last, March. : On : seven days In- the
22 there were Xio alarms.' The
fire prevention "campaign oC Port
land firemen is a, fine example of
public ; efficiency. ,c v. - t--; ft Ht
CANT IPROVE OX KATURE
' HE ' impulse to adorn the Co-
-j. 1 um bla - River highway, with
- trees, shrubs and "plants is a
most commendable V one and
should be fully i encouraged. : In
doing , so,; ; hp wevern there , should
be no attempt to- improve on nature.-
The gorge should be " pre
served in "air, its" natural flora,
whlci. ds "one of ' its - chief attracr
jtipnfl, especially -to. tourists. " It
would be a great nustaKe to set
out rose bushes,' even though the
rose is inseparably, connected with
the fame of Portland. They would
give the highway -an artificial and
unnatural appearance, besides re
quiring a great deal of care.
There is nothing more beautiful
than the native' flora, nothing
more ". harmonious than the - Sy
ringa, 'Oregon Grape, Splrea, False
Solomon's - Seal, Wild Currant,
Wild Rose, Columbine, Honey
suckle, Rhododendron, Wild Cher
ry and Dogwood which blooms
twlce 'a yea i '' '' :j-r:.. '"': ' '
Then there are the '".Larkspur
and the many different varieties
of Fern from the delicate Maiden
hair' to the coarser Sword and
Brake. .- - .
: Assist nature " in covering the
scars and wounds made" In cutting
out the highway ,wlth. these in
stead of trying :'c to transplant
something foreign to the soil and
surroundings. i ? -Wf
Supplementing the work --of
beautifying the highway with the
native flora should be the culti
vation of public sentiment for the
prevention of vandalism, the de
struction' of trees, shrubs and
work

HELPLESS . GOETHALS
HEN work .was -begun on
the Panama canal In 1903
many parcels of land ly-
ing along the . route were
condemned by the government. The
owners were not compensated at
the " tlme''lucklly jfbr " them.';" The
question of .payment has lain .un
settled ever since, But -now it -has
been left to a federal commission
and the .land owners are getting
their: delayed dues.
They : . are getting, something
more than their 'dues if we may
believe General Goethals, When
the. gOTernment., condemned $ the
land itwas.. Worth, all told about
one million dollars. If. compensa
tion had been made then the own
era would have ' accepted a million
dollars " and been glad to get" it.
But now they ask more. They
want eighteen millions.
. -rThe land - has -risen -in-alne-in
the last twelve years. The rise
has been xaused by the building
of the'.'nal.v The V landowners
have had nothing whatever to do
with it. . General : Goethals argues
that they should receive what their
land was vworth . When Jhe govern
ment - took it out not a penny
more, except' reasonable interest.
They demand not only reasonable
Interest but a huge , unearned In
crement and they are likely te "get
it, for the commission which has
the ' matter. n charge has begun
the policy of paying what, the land
is worth now, not what it "was
worth when A the J government
bought It
The case Is precisely like that
of a settler who buys . farm ion
the deferred payment . plan: . It" is
worth when . be buys it a . thous
and dollars., But he - goes- ahead
and digs out the stumps, plows up
the soil,, puts .in drains and erects
a house -and barn. - When 'all this
is ' done . he come to - his creditor
with the thousand dollars agreed
upon. But the creditor says nay.
The land was worth' only a thous
and dollars years ago when you
bought it -but now It has been im
proved and"you must pay- ten
thousand. ' ' ,
A Jf the caserwere to. be settled by
a commission JikeUhe one that is
conducting the Panama land bus
iness i the Shylock :would geti his
tea thousand. But ought he to
get, It? "Should the .proceeds "of
the settler's, labor" go into the
bnyjocK's pocket or Into his own?
In the- Panama, situation the gov-
W
value.- ' The claimants , are-, the
Shylocks Who' want to reap where
they have not sown.-. General' Goe
thals is the ! Portia .of thescene
but . unhappily . he' can only talk
sense ' about. the business. ," He has
no power to make the commission
-do justice.- V

Dr. Charles rW.- EUot the re
tired , president of Harvard5 is
about the best thinker we have on
educational subjects.- Hd has Juat
contributed fan '. article -to ; theNew
York Times; in which he: goes; again
over the arguments for - training
tbe senses. Orie of his points is
. He speaks of the fact; perfectly
well known; to lawyers, . that hard
ly any two witnesses of the same
event will tell the-, same story
about it... Their testimony will dif
fer in 'scores of : little, particulars
and ; of ten la essential: ones: ; Hav
ing., eyes ; they;see' not r and having
ears: thejj hear not.r . There is a
childrens game which) ; Illpstrates
the same human, weakncsal Some
thing ia V?eIate4U to ', the , child , at

the beginning. , c - - .."'
Dr. Eliot says, that our, inability
to see, and-, hear correctly 7-ls ,;the
fault: of : our ' schooling. -We are
nottiajekt:'.,tdse'eitherX$ar''"ye8
or ears intellieftntlr.'' Henca when
we come, upon the witness stand toltentment,.-ana a. comiortaoie; euair
'describe' some little event ; we make-l
absurd ' blunders and ' : contradic
tions. This . faulty- education is
not confined' to- the "lower
classes."' It is common , to all
classes. ' "Many highly educated
American ministers, lawyers and
teachers he says, --"have never
received any scientific training,
possess no manual " skill ' and can
not draw, sing or play on a musi
cal instrument," They have been
educated in ''abstractions and noth
ing else. Surely this Is a loss to
them. The fact that they do not
think it is a loss simply proves
how badly they have been, edu
cated. ' . ' ' ' - '
Dr. Eliot reminds us that much.
of the . sense training that was
formerly obtained In apprentice
ships for the trades has now vanished.-'
Automatic machinery is
doing the work which once re
quired, the skill of the human eye
and hand. The human part Jn it
is merely a dull routine. And the.
person who tends the machine
passes his days.inra stupor unless
his mind has - something to . keep
It busy The schools should In
tervene to prevent this' industrial
change from stuplfying the-working
class, but' Dr Eliot' Is of the
opinion that "they have clung to a
traditional program" and have
failed to teach children to "see
and hear correctly, to touch deftly
and accurately and to .draw right
inferences from the testimony ef
their senses." Pedagogy clings to
the traditional abstractions of the
school program because they can
be handled;, mechanically ?.wblle
sense training requires ; -constant
alertness ' and - much - ingenious
thought. ' '
If we could shuffle off ourtexf
books with their rigid classifica
tions and distinctions we should
find it easier to , pass from the
abstract to the concrete and prac
tical Tin the1 schools. ; -: As long as
we understand education' to 'mean
memorizing so many pages of the
textbook we shall never get - very
far In ' sense or mind training. The
change we most need is , from the
dead textbook to the living
teacher,-: When the teachers ' are
once permitted to use " their ' own
brains they will find a way. to stir
the bralns of their pupils. U ;
: 'Americans " are too fond: of the
traditional in education. They are
disposed to Inquire into the merits
of a new suggestion.'. Thfey pre
fer tb . dismiss it scornfully as a
"fad" or a 'Vhimsy." And yet it
is by using , these fads - and whims
that the Germans' and French , have
made ' their .public - schools serve
the national welfare. ! We can not
expect to compete with those coun
tries on the world's stage unless
we manage to educate our chil
dren as well as they lo. . Even in
the - 'matter of . so-called cultural
studies, we are' two-years, behind
them. Their boys of ten know as
much as .ours of twelve. ": Jn sense
training we tare still arguing and
doubting over theories which the
French- and Germans put into pra'c
tice years ago. ' j - 4 , .
.- When . after . : great - effort our
schools have been partially mod
ernized we are in . constant danger
of " slipping back; into the ' tra
ditional ways. Somebody discov
ers that ' domestic' scence, the
households, arts, the. use -of - tools,
hand,- and '4 eye-training, V music,
drawing,, "are - mere" fads,'or; : no
earthly use,' and then" there must
be a battle lo keep, what has been
gained for the children. Would"., we
had more Dr.--Eliots. We need
three or-four In every city. ' ;

J In Victor Hugo's novel, "Notre Dame

then, stretching his right hand
tnwrni thai nrintut book: lvinar oren on

toward Notre Dame, he signea;- ana
looking sadly' from the book' to the
building, 'Alas he said, 'this wilt kill

- In. the monumental" chapter which
follows,:; Hugo elaborate this Vtheme.
howlnr how. nrintinr has overthrown
architecture. a the principal form, of
man expression t bi ibm.; t ;
TTvt. if 'th fifteenth i century, when
printing was Invented, man"s book had
been a .building. ; When he wished to
erect a monument to his age, or- a
message to tbe- coming generations,
he wrote it in tbo stone of tbe pyra
mids ot Egypt, . the temple at Jerusa
lem, the Parthenon at Athens, the Col
osseum. at Rome, and. the cathedrals of
the middle agea. Especially the cathe
drals, for they were, far more, enter
prises In whlchVtne whole community
took, part than were the building books
of pagandom erected chiefly by the
slave labor of despotisms. In . the
stained glass and the' sculpture of the
cathedral, anybody, could have his say.
To carve a figure for it was like writ
ing a letter to the newspapers.
80 the genius and the aspiration of
that many beaded arttaW human soci
ety, surged into expression In the soar
ing arches, buttresses. and towers.of
the -cathedral. rUkt 'human , life; like
the communities which built them, no
two' are alike. -. . - -A- - ' - !
Then came the printing press, and
the age swept pass them,
That an insignificant instrument like
the rude press of Gutenberg should
supplant these glgantlo buildings as
th form of human expression sounds
fantastic; "but It. Is no, more fantastic
than the like' process which is going
on secretly air round us every day. In

In the early days of the cotton In

owned their own looms ana wove ciotn
to eke out an existence. Between 1764
and 1767. James Hargreaves invented
the spinning jenny. "By hitching, up
this, machine first to water power and
later to steam, it became too elaborate
for the individual weavers to own.The
factory system thus ' became possible.
People, flocked from the country to the
mill towns, ana gradually the enarac
ter of .nineteenth century society was
largely changed from that of a farm
tag community, to that of a manufac
turinar community. ' .:

Fortunately machines ar not the

tho story,, nor the. more Important
half. Though, they afford a conveni

the .French aristocracy, changed the
