Its advantage consists In speed and cheap ness. The first cost of a tractor, even the lightest, ' exceeds that of a good horse outfit, but , afterward , it has all the advantages. The. use of kero sene for fuel makes running expense small. It works faster than a team of horses can and keeps at It longer. A i moderately good tractor affords more power than four horses hitched together. When not at work It con sumes no oats.

Moral law is still moral law, eternal and imper Ishable. THE EVOLUTION ON, WITH AMERICA "A' S CUBA cannot cooperate with men, because of her scanty population, let us co operate by taking the larg est possible amount of bonds of, the ; third Liberty loan." ; These word9 are from El Murotos a Havana, Cuba, newspaper. Our serv ice to the Cubans was not in vain.

Figuring the capacity of a railway car at fifty tons this is equivalent to seven hundred and twenty 'box . cars loaded to maximum every week. This is only a fraction of the mo tor truck development which is go ing on throughout the nation. Another significant fact is that many trained- transportation men. many of whom have lost their posi tions with the railroad by reason of new policies of economy introduced since the federal government took over rail operation, are becoming at tached to motor .truck companies The motor truck may therefore be regarded- as a permanent factor in the" transportation field and not merely a war emergency. As freight handler it possesses intrinsic merits, especially in less than carload lots and short hauls. Ex-Senator Fred W. Mulkey is an excellent choice for the short term senatorship. He has been worth while in every public position in which he has ever served. He has ito the gamine of Cuba's independence, done a great amount of gratis work .h? the state.

When the Greeks; were fighting the ancient Persian, as we are fighting the modern Prussian. . they never forgot for a moment that their liberty was at stake. They did not win the war and talk of. peace aims afterward. They won the war because they kept their peace aims ever before them. In their life and death struggle with Carthage, the Romans neverl lost sight of their aims. They went into the war, knowing that it was a fight to the last ditch between commercial autocracy and freedom. They won the victory because they were inspired by their cause to make an sacrifices. Do you imagine that Cromwell's soldiers forgot for one moment what their war aims were?

J The Price of Railroad Tics West Stavton. Or- May 9. To the Editor of The Journal. In The Journal I read recently a notice of a meeting of manufacturers, to be held In t.ugene to try to secure the price of $21 per thousand fixed by the government for their ties. Having a small mill, and looking for a contract for ties, I was in terested in the outcome of this meeting, Adtodos of this matter, I would like to eive my experience in seeking a mar ket for ties. I went to Portland a few days ago for this purpose. I called on the Southern Pacific company ; they re ferred me to their purchasing agent at San Francisco, who would be glad to auote me prices. All well and good, then called on the O-w. K. & N. pur chasing agent, who also wanted to buy ties, but when he found I was located along the Southern Pacific linehe told me the government had made a ruling that each railroad company must buy ts ties along its own lines, and the South era Pacific vas the only buyer along its lines. Now. if this is a fact, why should the Southern Pacific pay even the $17 It ls now offering? Why not $15, or $13. or any old price? If the government real- rr has made a ruling to this effect, the price of $21. reported to have been fixed by the government ought to prevail. It this reported ruling prevails It, win prove quite a handicap In the production-of ties, as the price of $17 will hardly cover the cost of production to the small mtlls, at best. The government fixed the price of wheat and the farmer got the full benefit of it, and if the government has fixed the price of ties at $21. the pro ducer of ties ought to get the full bene fit of it also.

To th- Fdltor of The Journal In the domain of re ligion there has been in the past 60 years a strong tide of evolution that might well fill us with wonder. No man who has studied these things can deny that even outside the pale of the church there has been, even since the present world war started, a very decided growth of religious sentiment along the broad and fundamental lines of the brother hood of man and the fatherhood of God, and these are the foundation and es sentials which Jesus taught. The evolu tionary process of the present time is working out a future for Christianity that will be different and superior to dogma-manacled and creedbound re ligion to which we have been accustomed. Christianity, measured by the lire ana teachings of Christ himself, is stronger today and more nearly carrle out the pattern laid down by the Naxarene than at any time since the close of his earthly ministry. The conceHsions made by some of the orthodox churches to this broader spirit are truly astonishing. They are getting rid of doctrines, for malities and flummeries and are settling down to fundamentals. Henry Watterson of the Ix)ftlsville Courler-Jurnai lately gave editorial ex pression to the new realization, and the press in general, bears evidence In every Issue of the growth of this free and broad development of the true Christian spirit. When this world war is over there will be social and political read justments that will make thia a better world to live in. For the war will end and It will end right. It is inconceivable that such a struggle should not end in a way that will be for the moral and spiritual uplift of the world. Our sacrl fices will be great, but no supremely best thing ever came to the world ex cept through sacrifice. Blesped are they who have this sublime faith. CALVIN GOS3.

Somewhere in France I have had lots of odd experiences with the French people. Some time ago there was a celebration of some kind In progress. The officials were keeping .the French people off the plaza, where apparently something interesting and Important was about to take place. A procession of veterans of 1870-71 passed by; then some, priests ; then some bearded, middle- aged men in frock coats and high hats. I knew I couldn't qualify as a veteran of the war of 1870-71. I doubted if I could pass muster with the priests and clergy. But I thought I could Join the frock-coated, sllk-hatted bunch, so I stepped out from the crowd- and Joined the distinguished citizens. If snyone questioned my right to be among the distinguished citizens I was going to pull my membership card in the Port Jand Chamber of Commerce, and by the time, they had looked the matter up to see if I was a distinguished citizen the ceremonies would be over. Several men looked mildly curious. Several others looked dazed. But soon they de cided I must belong, or I wouldn't be there; so we marched down to the monument and conducted the services, which were eloquent and Impressive, but I don't know yet what it was all about. But I' do know I had a front row view' of the whole proceeding. fa a attended a public af fair In the plaza. I was on the inside row next to the soldiers, where -1 could see the whole proceeding. I gave my place to a young woman. She wanted her mother to Join her. but the people wouldn't give way to let her through. I spotted where the mother stood, and simply leaned back and pressed my way through the throng to her. Then, tak ing her in tow. I leaned forward and with her in my wake I made my way through, so that she could Join her aughter. I heard several women ap plaud and say In French. "The gallant American !" But, though I looked, I couldn't see any near me. A little, bit ofa3 or 4-year-old tot that was completely submerged in the crowd and who couldn't see in any direction except straight up. looked at me appeallsgly; so I put her on my shoulder, so that she could see the gen erals in their gold lace, and the bril liant uniforms of the other officers. Several voices said again, "The gallant American! and the people all around began applauding. I thought some thing had been pulled off I had mtased, so I looked all around and to my dis may I found they were all looking at me. One of the women pointed to the tot on my shoulder and said. The gal lant American ! Fortunately the band started playing "the national anthem, and my little private celebration was drowned out in. the universal applause, i a a . At this affair also the Oregon ban! received an enthusiastic reception. T had a chat with B. A. Downey, the leader of the band, and with L D. Moehnke. the assistant leader, as well as with W. E. Knouff. the secretary. Mr. Downey, the leader, was at Dallas for some years. Later he lived In Port land, where he worked for the O-W. R. & N.

In Portland. a a I spent today taking part In two services at points widely separated, so that I had to travel nearly 100 miles by auto to reach them both, holding one service at 10:10 a. m. and the other at 1 p. m. At the second place, which ts located on a beauttlful lake within sound of the sea, I talked with Shelly Daniels, a nephew of Joeephus Daniels, secretary of the nary.

Tney point out that when the mind becomes highly developed It must be reckoned with In estimating the food needs. Sav- nires may itet along nicely on a oiet that alms simply to meet body require ments, but "as one ascends in the scale of civilization," these experts state. Uie laws of the physiology of nutrition do not lose their validity, but the psychol ogy of nutrition assumes constantly greater Importance, until finally, with the average lnaiviauai ot our aay na country, the psycnoiogy or me aiei. from the standpoint or tne lnaiviauai and of the community. Is as important as the physiology of nutrition." Mr. Hoover found, from his experi ence in Belgtum. that the psychology of a food supply played an important role in the nourishment or a people. The Moving Picture's. tVhcels Oswego, Or.. May 5. To the Editor of The Journal Noting an article in the photoplay section of The Journal of April 21 regarding the illusion of a ve hicle wheel appearing to turn back ward. I will say that I can give the answer to It. In the first place, motion pictures are not motion pictures at all but a series of stationary ones taken one after another In rapid sequence, on a strip of celluloid. They are projected upon the screen at the rate of some 20 per second. Between the projections of the stationary pictures the light Is shut off by a rotary shutter which is disc with a segment cut out as the film is being moved to the next pic ture. As a matter of fact, the light on the screen is a series of ."winks," but the winks follow each other so fast that aU the eye sees is a very slight quiver, Bearing the "series of winks" idea in mind, I will get back to the moving wheel. ' In photographing a spoked wheel; in motion, if the spokes are passing any stationary point on the vehicle, at the same rate of speed as the camera shut' ter, or, to say It another way. Jf the spokes are in a certain position at one exposure, and the speed of the wheel is such as to bring up other spokes to the same position at the instant of next exposure, the resultant picture on the screen will .show a stationary wheel aa though the wheel were dragging. As the wheel speeds up the spokes begin moving raster than the shutter, produc ing the well known Illusion. As the wheel continues to speed up, the spokes gradually come back: to "stationary1 and then at a further speed they blur and you don t see them at ail. It is hard for me to express myself on paper, out you wui una that the fore going contains the facts of that well known Illusion. H. W. C. ' Still More of Those Busy Bees Dora,' Or., May 1.

In this connection Kellogg and Tay lor sound a sensible warning.
