THE U'ADOO VISIT

difficult it is to change .traffic
routings after they are once
established.

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

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."

hag sounded a note full of suggestion.
He proposes as one factor in the
great adjustment, a herculean effort
to bring unproductive lands, into pro

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.

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

AUTHOR and God of freedom. Thou dost plant
In every breast a loo cine to be free.
Thou to the patriot's arm dost courace grant
To battle with oppression, and decree
The tyrant's fate; to break the captive's chiin.
Then dost inspire the love of liberty
Thit brooks no bondage of the soul and brain
Which dares forbid the mind of man to try
Thy vast domain unfettered, tyranny
That winged thought would prison in a cage.
Or clip her wings lest too far she should fly.
Thou lovest well man's eager thought and life
Instinct with strength of his high parentage;
Nor wouldst Thou have us bow before Thy shield
And faint, reluctant homage to Thee yield.
Wrung from us by o'erpowering majesty.
Wouldst Thou not have us sons of God, unbent.
Free like Thyself, as we Thine Image bearf
Dost Thou not call us to high enterprise.
To master earth and set and scale the skies
To broader conquest, noble victory;
To greater triumphs of self-government;
To share Thy wondrous thoughts and walk with Thee?
In the titanic struggle yet to be.
When right and light and human liberty
With powers of greed and tyranny engage
In mortal combat, final war to wage
A world-wide struggle coming on apace
in many a waking land and longing race
My country, do thou make a valiant fight
And for the people's cause put forth thy might!
And may the Lord of Hosts, who made thee free.
Set thee, great guardian of liberty.
To lead the pations, marching in the van,
' The fearless champion of the rights of man;
Arm thee with light, and with immortal fire
Thine altars keep aflame, Tby heart inspire,
Lest commonweal be reckoned little worth,
And Freedom, throttled, perish from the earth!
