THE U'ADOO VISIT E ARE seeing in Portland how difficult it is to change .traffic routings after they are once established. . . . 1 1 : 1 1 fMr. MCAaoos statements in run- land show that he has a sincere de- tire to have this port used for off shore' routings as a part of the na tional railroad system. The advan tages of the use of all Pacific ports Instead of a limited number of them and employes In the Industry In the four states. This course was agreed to by 'the ' lumbermen and loggers of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Western Mon tana at a meeting in Portland Friday. It is action as important as was the action of the same people some months ago when it was determined PPly the eight hour day in the industry. , It is a system under which em ployers and employes will be able to understand each other. The aloof ness of some employers in former days from all councils with their workers was a fruitful cause of dis agreement. Its result was often a strike or lockout that might have been avoided if in such conferences as are now Inaugurated, each side could have opportunity to get the other side's viewpoint We are learning by experience. Em ployer and employe were gradually drawing farther .and farther apart until this war came on. Feeling be tween them ' was becoming more bitter. ' The comradship that now comes out of a common peril is showing the employer that his worker too is human and is showing the em ploye mat n is employer also is Hu man. Each is learning from these war experiences that the other is ca pable of reason. Anyway, that is the conclusion reached by the Northwest loggers and lumbermen, as shown in their very, important action of Friday. An now to make the program bomb proof and hog, tight, let the selections of committeemen be, not from the radicals on either side, but from among poised and reasonable men. So seleoted, the system should work smoothly and contribute to the happi ness and prosperity of the thousands in the Northwest lumber industry. Are we not advancing in many things as the tragedies of this war cause aft manner of men to be more thoughtful, more human, and less selfish? T IS a debatable question whether the world has ..made any progress or not in the last thousand years. But we do not believe a fair Judge would feel it much of a task td make up his mind after the debate was over.. Aleng toward the end of the last century a wave of medieval Ism swept over England. Tennyson was its most popular spokesman but not by any means its most orthodox. His poetry is diluted with mild medi eval slop, but William Morris was soaked in it So was Ruskin. The mania permeated all the arts. William Morris wrote poetry that belonged to the time of Thomas Aquinas. He preached that the com forts of modern life were sins against true beauty. If we did our . duty we would throw them away and sit down on three legged . stools to a dinner of raw beef, eating it, with our fingers. At the same time there was a relapse to medievalism in painting. The world was favored with "Pre Raphaelite" pictures, which accur ately kept pace with John Ruskin' howls against railroads and Dante Gabriel Rossetti's monkish rhymes. To n.ake the story complete Thomas C-rlyle preached a gospel of silence and submission "in thirty volumes." traffic is accustomed to other routes, rigation will do, you are thereafter His favorite theme was the failure The eastern consignors are accustom- an advocate of the system.

He proposes as one factor in the great adjustment, a herculean effort to bring unproductive lands, into pro ductivity through irrigation. To those who know the potentiali ties of Eastern Oregon it Is one plan worth while. . Kr. The feverish desire of the people of Central Oregon for railroad con nections is illustrated in the case of the people of Bonanza and Langeli Valley in Klamath county. . In addi tion to the heavy burdens assumed by them in irrigation projects tbey have agreed to grade, bridge and lay the ties for a branch line of seven miles to the Strahorn railroad at Dairy, on condition that' Mr. Stra horn will lay the rails. The, rest of Oregon owes it to Lake, Klamath nd Harney counties to do everything possible to help the people there get railroad connections. PROGRESS 1 dames of. the sixth century. lie par ticularly 'finds- himself among the priests ot the established church. which Mark Twain- hates with frank and relentless venom. The Yankee's head is full of elec tricity, newspapers, telephones, baths and business. The people around him think of nothing but miracles, chiv alry, noble lineage and feudal rights over the poor. The Yankee . makes himself the Boss of Arthur's kingdom without any difficulty. He sets afoot a mammoth, scheme of educating the people In modern science and con verting them to religious freedom and political democracy. Superstition gets the upper hand of his common sense in the end but he makes a good fight Mark Twain throws the emphasis of his supremely wise book on politi cal liberty. Without that, as he teaches, there can be no liberty of any other . kind. And this brings us to the . point which, we believe, would settle the debate between mod ernism and medievalism in favor of modernism if the Jidges were fair. Whatever else we may have gained or lost by the transition from the Dark Ages to the Twentieth Century we have indisputably gained the right to settle our internal differences not by fighting but by voting, is immense. deal better than elephants could. The only defect of the tanks . seems to be their. Inability to keep ahead of our men 'fighting afoot They are meant to protect the infantry but the Yankee infantry reverses the pro- j gram and protects the tanks. Thee there are the more conven tional motor trucks behind the lines. They, form a solid phalanx continu- i ally bringing fresh troops and muni tions to the front and returning for more. Practically, therefore, there Is no interval between the fighting line and the reserves, thanks to the motor truck.
