THEIR DAY j- I 'Alia church and the world of to- A morrow "will be built on the jchildren o today.) The trend of the -civilization of one generation is fore casted, by the trend of the children 'pt the preceding generation. i ' A righteous world cannot be ierected on a foundation of boy ban dlts, youthful murderers and Infant ;thleves. A Christian . womanhood 'cannot . evolve In j the next genera tion from a basis' of wayward girls In tjiis generation.; An era of moral ity. Justice and Christian ; concepts cannot arise from ruined lives. The course of the next genration Will be d irected , in this. The child of today is the moving force of to morrow. The education, ,, the train ing, the Ideals that are now burned into young America ; will mould the course, for good or for evil, of the future. j It is for the sake of the future that today Is given over by the churches ' to the ; children as Chil dren's day. It t Is to insure a 'righteous and ' Just humanity in the next generation and the next that the day is dedicated tp' stressing the Im portance of religious education for the youth of the1 nation. It- la a movement for good In the world that deserves universal support and 09m mendation. . ' 1 .

A HUNK O CHEESE tTllB average American gets along 1 1 with only 3.8 j pounds of cheese in his aggregate annual menu. The jpane consumes 12.3 pounds in the feame length of time and thejirit . jsher Is a close second with 11.3 otmds. : ) I Despite the small per capita con sumption, are assured by experts hat one-pound ol! cheese la equal in food value to 2 I pounds of beef, to f 4-5 pounds of chicken, 7 pounds of codfish or 25 eggs. It contains more nourishment thari ham or beans or any of the vegetables. . i Why do not ! people eat more iqheese ? One explanation Is that its 'cost on retail counters is too great, another that nearly everything else lias been sold by clever advertising campaigns, but cheese has been left to herald its own value and It Is ;not , always strong. : The best cream cheese of America, Jfr the world, for that matter, Js pro duced .in Oregon. - For long, Tilla imooki : cheese has been .'. synonymous rwith the highest quality and thg Vaost delectable : flavor - J wherever cheese is 1 eaten. ; More recently the organized dairymen of the state have produced through their league or ganization cheese of similar, quality. But -Oregon cheese, with all its tine quality, has In late months been subjected, to the same stagnant mar ket conditions that have affected the product throughout the country. A million bounds'of cheese remains un sold in the hands of the producers in this state. " . ? Used by all the people, such an r A PORTLAND VISITOR A PORTLAND visitor this week was. Victor' Murdock of the federal trade commission. , ." . " ' He was here in the course of official duty. He is the type of citizen on which America must stake her best and most useful future. Born and reared in the newspaper line In Kansas, former congressman of, prom inence. Republican Insurgent in the days of Insurgency progressive tinder Roosevelt's captaincy and a man of keen intelligence and unimpeachable Integrity, Mr. Murdock, as a member of the federal trade commission, is well placed and highiy equipped for big national service. ,7 The commission is needed in- America.' in thisccuntry. as In every country, there are four basic industries. They : provide the necessaries of life, tand are: J . ' . t : 1 The fuels coal, petroleum and water powers. w 2 -The structurals iron ores, timber and cement, ... 3 The textiles cotton, wool and hdes- ." ' r;'":' ' 4 Foods cereals and meats.- - . ' 'v .i- - r ' Concentration of wealth is secured by gaining control of these basic Industries. " The people, universally use them. '' Control of one or any of these lines of production, by a . small group is a tremendous means of profit. How to . prevent this control is the greatest of all economic prob lems, not only In, America but throughout the worlds Every nation Is struggling with .it, and it is the claim that America; is succeeding better with it than any pother country. . 4 , ; In trying to olve .the problem this information is necessary: : I ' 1-What is the cost of production? ' . i' . . 1' 2 What is the cost of sales? ' ; - .'".' ' 3 What Is the, cos? of distribution? ' . i - , If nothing were done in a' public way to prevent monopolization of these basic industries we know from American experience and from world experience that presently the control of all these basic industries would be In the hands of s small groups. Senator John -Shermaoj, .away back In the '80s, foresaw this and framed and secured, in 1890, the passage of the Sher man anti-trust law. That law has not successfully served the end for which it was Intended. ; "' . The organization of vast trusts by consolidating large corporations under one head was for the purpose of concentra,tlngvthe four basic in dustries In a few hands. ?The tobacco trust 'the -steel trust, the five great meat packers are all examples of the efforts of a few men to control the sources of production and distribution. - . ' The partial '. failure of . the Sherman ' law- to meet the situation led, under the Wilson administration, to the creation of the federal trade com mission. Its only means of dealing with the problem Is publicity. It was given power by congress to examine the books of huge corporations, to gather all facts connected with the industry; and to : make a full report of findings to the president of the United States. Such questions ; as this come before the commission: May a manu facturer' of a nationally advertised .article not . only . control the price at which he sells It but control the price at which the retailer shall sell it? After a' very long and patient investigation the commission decided that with the passing of title in the article to the retailer the latter is at liberty to sell at any price he may fix. The activities of the federal trade commission are much resented by Big Business. Senator Penrose denounced Its members as socialists and borshevists. Threats as well as efforts have been made to abolish the body. A suit before a federal- court at Washington, D. C., resulted in a denial to the commission of the right to examine a corporation's books to find out the , cost of coal production. The commission has appealed to the United States supreme court for a reversal of 'the Judgment. 4 The commission Is the one great body that stands between the people and the efforts of small groups to gain control of the four basic industries on which the people must rely for existence.' It is" one of the most hopeful-and 'most useful arms of the national government, and It is rendering an invaluable service to' the American people. ' amount would last only a short time. but unsold it creates a liability heavier than the 'dairymen can well carry. ,- '-'v -'":"' Xv : "Cheese Week? ; in Oregon . has been ordained for June 20-26. All mediums of publicity will be em ployed to promote the consumption of cheese and .to advertise Hhe many attractive ways In ; which it can be prepared. Grocers and caterers have agreed to aell - Oregon cheese at a narrow profit margin, j Restaurant keepers have promised to sell not less than a two-ounce slice for 5 cents. If the people of the state- in a reasonable f time, of course consume the whole million : pounds they will be' all the better for. It. .. TYPOGRAPHICAL, GENIUSES A r FICTION reader's p a r a d i s e migh t be pictured as ;a land where all the stories he has read are finished, not happily or unhappily of necessity, but finished! at any rate. Most of the short stories of today satiate the reader with form and leave him hungry for substance. Seldom is the avid peruser told what actually happens; more often it is borne , to him j by typographical symbols, huge apertures in black type that may be filled in with any thing which comes to a suggestive imagination. Does any one read, nowadays, how the hero seizes the heroine, man-like, and plants a volley of resonant kisses on her full, red lips? j No. -Far be It from an author to sanction such in delicacy. In a roundabout way he leads up to a situation where a kiss might be the climax. Might be. mind yOU. f , The approved! fashion is for an author to entice his heroine to a tuft of trees where the radiance of a full moon may fall on her through a rift in the branches.- He next describes how her white arms gleam in the soft effulgence. ; brings ; to you the swish of her diaphanous gown as the breeze gently toys with it, shows you the lustre of her midnight orbs aa she leans back listlessly on a rustic bench, gives you a glimpse of the hero arriving on the scene, and leaning over the fair object and gazing Into her lpve-illumihed eyes, then' this: jTenderly his arms began to enfold her. There a fakit sry. Uke a far-off .be" what made the scintill&nt stars so temptlngr How eloquent that is! No vul garity there. Not even a kiss that the reader can be sure of. Eugenics and hygienics observed to a," dot. Merely a situation in which to let the fancy roam at will. Tou can't beat such fiction. It lacks no redeeming element, for in it a flexible mind f may find every in gredient essential to saving the scene.- ".J " - ; Some authors scorn the use of an army of. periods in one battle line and recruit for equally valiant serv ice a battalion of dashes. The means are different,- but the vend is the same, for the dashes, like periods, offer jio handicap to a facile thinker. As an Instance, take thia concluding paragraph from a prize-winning story: -. - - r .' Greatly it was groilng fainter dritung steadily away, the distant hum growing lighter and lighter lighter still . ' - v . z Now, there is lightness for you. Is It any wonder that the author be came light-headed and left the scene and indicated that it was time for the balloon-headed reader to con clude matters? , j t s. When an author becomes too full of his characters and situations, when to him the grim.; reality be comes too real, well ? is ' It for him that he can find surcease In dashes and periods ere his flow of tears or ecstasyoir Joy engulf him. But not only in prose fiction is the typesetter doing most 'of the think ing; he is sjlso the right bower sup porting the left and ace held by the writer - of vers llbre. ; Nearly all of her, .terrifying ' or soul-stirring cli maxes are. handled through' the period-army ' or the dash-troopa. Does she-wish to make her abrupt cadences a little more abrupt? Well, there is a multitude of dashes on the old Mergenthaler. Does she wish to introduce part of a thought, conceal the middle of it j and f make . one acquainted with the end only? WelL there' is the Id Mergenthaler again, this time' offering a box of hot periods that when properly arranged will Indicate the deepest mental picture. These intrepid knight errants of the printing shop ; capture . for her all heights, be they of love or hatred, joy or sorrow i ', Recall that chapter from Thomas Hardy's "Tess" in which he describes the spoliation .of his heroine 71 Few dashes or dots there.' But what a masterpiece of suppressed thinking! Would Hardy have done so well had tlie modern typesetter been at his command ? - , j i What a pity it la that Dickens isn't writing now. ' He wouldn't have , to weep after writing the chapter of Little ; Nell's death. He could lead up to the death-bed scene and make a lot of dashes and periods and leave us there, to rejoice or mourn, as we might see fit, at the same time re assuring himself, at least mentally, that, so far as he was concerned, Little . Nell would recover, grow up to young womanhood and marry or become a school teacher. It is too bad that Dickens isn't here t enjoy the passel of makeshifts and subter fuges at hand for the modern f le tlonist. ; - : J ' Truly is it the age of - the typo graphical genius. ' t yh t;',.

But leases, these are , another matter. Tracts beside frolicsome torrents, with ex pansive boundaries not- spilt into fractions of an inch by the steel tape, are to be had for rentals, that seem nominal to the most Jiarasaed family budget. v: - i ; Vine ' maples; larch and cotton wood, firs and cedars, may shn.de and protect modest cabins built thereon.

" The only requisite is an imaginative inventive ness that will result in a sufficiently ornate name for the place. Trout may leap to the fly in one's very dooryard. In shallow spots. the water may linger until it has warmed for the wading of childish feet. Every trail up the mountainsides is a path leadingto mystery and adventure. Health ' and revived energy come from the- breath of the evergreens. Denim, gingham and khaki possess style' and propriety impossible to silk and ! fine i linen. - Ostentatious existence, ' with its high cost of frivolity, retires before the , simple and natural which cost least and a're worth most. . ; v,-. r: The loop road around the moun tain and oyer the lesser summits that surround tits base is to possess ja scenic magnificence unrivaled. But the summer homes that will border the road in the national forest areas will confirm the usefulness of . the highway.

Robert N.SUnfield was ; running for the United States senate in.t Oregon The Journal as serted that, if elected, he would enter the senate as a defender of the "Big Five" packers.-1 ; Senator Stanfield made his maiden, speech In the senate Fridayand ;it was a - Clean cut' argument for the "Big Five' and a strong denuncia tion of the Kenyoh bill, which pro poses government regulation" of the packing industry. j "I am opposed to this legislation as a principle,- he said. Ho added: It is socialistic and tends strongly fto nationalization of industries. Most un fortunately the proponents of this legis lation nave taken what I believe to be our greatest and most perfect of all es sential industries for their experihiegt. The general public seems inclined to think of the term "'packer" as a monopo listic concern owned,' dominated and con trolled by some one individual, while I in the main the facts are that the packers are owned by hundreds of thousands of stockholders who have aggregated their capital for the upbuilding of their great industrial organizations and they have in turn perfected the best system in the World of supplying our principal food meat products under this individual control and ownership. j Development of efficiency and economy is characteristic of individual ownership and Control, whereas the government ownership, and ; government control of Industries has in most . instances proved quite the ppposlte; The' price qt government ownership : and . un necessary .interference in orderly ; and well organized business '.Is inefficiency wmie it .has been demonstrated, as in . the rcase of the packer, the greatest industrial organization and the greatest economical ' efficiency is de veloped under private ownership and personal direction. . i ; ' j -? -'The greatest and most perfect, is the language In which Senator Stanfield .describes the packing in dustry as conducted . by the "Big Five. .

V; V i i On October 26, 1920, seven days before the last presidential election. The Journal said editorially: There is an attempt In Oregon to elect to the United States senate from this state Robert Stanfield, a man who has been closely associated with Swift & Co. in a business way for a period of years. They now have investments in common and have I for a long time been in the moet Intimate relation in transactions in the sheep business. , -'.: -.v Is it wise for consumers " or for men who produce the commodities handled by the bigtfive packers to have Mr. Stan field in the senate? .--- . Is the power of the packers not great enough without adding to their voting strength in congress? .! The bill ; against which Senator Stanfield; made his maiden speech, "defending the packers, was the out growth of a famous report, of the) federal trade commission describing the operations of the packers. The report declared that the vast organ ization of the trBig Five" was a pib lic menace and recommended to the president that restrictive measures be' applied. . :: ':- ?"V : '-- j The commission declared thai the packers control the hide market, and through the hide market control the leather market of the United States; that through their subsidiaries they largely control the wool market; that they largely control the canned fruit, the cannedr vegetables," the canned salmon, the butter, the oleomargar ine : and the canned milk sold' in America; that they control the prices of beef, mutton and pork and fix the cost of , money borrowed to finance these industries. i Mr. Stanfield's maiden speech defending the pack ers in the senate against the charges of the federal trade commission is as favorable to the packers as if.it had been written by Louis F. Swift or J. Ogden Armour I ' On October 27, 1920, six days be fore the last ' presidential election. The Journal said editorially: ' SWIFT CO.' AJtE TUB FRIENDS OF CANDIDATE STANFIELI MR.

"Portland, June 7.rTo the Editor of The Journal I have , read Roger . ; W. Babson's arUcle presented under the heading 'Christian Education" on the editorial page of The Sunday Journal of May 29. This writer evidently as sumes that a proper education of the people based upon the "plain teachings of Jesus'" would be the solution of all social, scientific, economic or industrial difficulties. This - assumption is based, it may be, upon the theory that, having first annexed the kingdom of God, i all other things will be added. 1 There is much of good In the teach ings of Jesus Christ. He was a great philosopher and philanthropist ; i he taught the doctrine of human kindness ; he . was a great "man. His teachings as they relate to human conduct are well worth : reading and knowing ; as they relate to his conception; of. the so-called Trinity, the judgment, the hereafter and the. injection of, the supernatural into human affairs, they will find lodgment in few minds of those who think.. - The Golden. Rule is . sufficient: precept for any man ; yet this same sentiment was expressed , by ;, more than - one - teacher before the time of Christ. I -f The need of the hour is education not confined to the teaching of one man. but of them alt, The need of the hour is to think, broadly and unafraid, along all lines, v unhampered by superstition. The need of the hour Is to understand the things around us, not the supersti tion of past ages. - The man who opens still another of the Inexhaustible store houses of nature has. done more than all the combined teachers of faith. Tbe man who uncovers a scientific fact is writing a real Bible.. ,.

During the past score of years hun dreds of thousands of travelers have looked from the windows or from the rear platforms of observation cars of Southern Pacific trains at the well-kept lawns and t the buUdlngs at Chemawa, but comparatively few of the passing throng have gratified their curiosity by visiting the school. .; There would be less criticism of edu cation for Indians if more people .would visit Chemawa and see i what is being done' there.
