-SLANDERING COLLEGE MEN
lqpHAT there isn't a single gradu- j
, - J- ate of the Oregon Agricultural
college In the state who has gohe
back to the farm" Is a statement said
lo have been made by P.. JL, IXArcy
of Salem -before the Portland Civic
league.;
At mention of free public educa
tion, Mr, D'Arcy sees red. He Is bo
fussed over free higher education
that his statements on the subject
have become ridiculous.
The Journal has had some lnvestl-
guion maae ana nnas wai o per

of Oregon Agricultural college are
actually engaged in farming. This

hundreds who attended the Institu
tion one to three years and went;
back to the farm without graduating.
Another 40 per cent are assisting
to Increase agricultural production
as extension or . experiment station
workers, high school or . college
teacher of agriculture,' or employes
wlth tht nlted StatM apartment
of rriculture. These are probably I
doing more for building up agricui-1
ture than they could possibly do by
actual farming:
Successful farmers. orchardists, j
dairymen, stock breeders and poul-
trymen, graduates of the, college, are
to be found in every county in the
state, some of them within a few
miles of Mr." lyArcy's Salem home.
The pure bred Jersey herd that holds,
the world s record for production, by
herd of not less than 15 cows, is
handled and partly , owned by; an
Oregon Agricultural college gradu
ate. Qraduates of , Oregon Agricui
tural college are also owners or at
the head of a number of other lead
lng Jersey herds. .
Here Is an example of Oregon Agrt
cultural college graduates as farm
ers that Mr. D'Arcy might paste , In
his hat: Four of them In the north
end of Gilliam county, Oregon, har
vested wheat in 1921 as follows:
Mark- Weatherf ord, of the firm Of
Weatherford & Weatherford, 65,000
bushels; Merrill .Moores, of the firm
of Moores V Jones, 90,000 bushels;
Arthur Weatherford, of Weatherford
A Turner, 20,000 bushels; Paul Spill-
man, of .Epillman Brothers, 7800
bushels. Total' 182,000 bushels.'
In the same district Mr. Diets, Ore
gon Agricultural college . graduate
of 1)13, is foreman on a wheat ranch
that in 1121 produced 60,000
bushels. ' ..." ; L
If Mr. D'Arcy will get the' hatred
of Oregon's public educational plan
out of his system he can find college
trained dirt farmers all over Oregon.
And if be will seek farther he will
find that Oregon is building up the
finest rural civilization the world has
uur tarmers average very
high In intelligence;- they'' produce
more per man than almost any other,
farmers in the world; they have j
adopted the most advanced system
of farming and. are constantly im
proving it. ; V'"1'

farmers are doing: Ten years or less

he had outlived himself, since he had
outlived the only thing for which he
lived-- the estate of royalty. On the

In being; lagging superfluous upon
the stage, save as they may have al-
ready turned to pursuits that are of
use to humanity or' may do so in
future.
Now that it Is all over with him.
the world may pause a moment to
pity him as . a plain ' human being.
He was personally amiable, possibly
liberal, but certainly weak, He died
in poverty. " Denied those substantial
props that usually in modern times
have sustained dethroned royalties
and those well furnished refuges that
have sheltered them, he reu into a
state of utter helplessness. He was
king or nothing. " And he found that
man, at last, as well as God, has be
come "tired of kings." , -
As j nobility,, the; Hapsburg lineage
is traceable for nearly a thousand
years. As royalty, it runs back six
and a half centuries. The family has
been notable for acquisitiveness.
Territory, power, dominion, have
been seized, but still more have they
been acquired through what ne his
torian calls "a series of fortunate
marriages and opportune deaths," in
those centuries when . realms were
considered personal ; belongings of
monarchs and passed by marriage
or death, as items of dower or leg
(acy,
What the Hapsburgs got they
held, or undertook to hold, and
with marvelous success. And to
power they held most tenaciously, re
lentlessly and crushlngly.
In -their acquisitiveness they had
grasped and held together by force
no less than eight varying and for the
most part discordant peoples, largely
hating one another and the Hapsburg
overlord. These eight, peoples' eight
languages made apt the title, . '.'the
polyglot empire.'
The World war was not needed' to
erase -the Hapsburg as an imperial
character. Internal ; forces would

minister to the "least of these" in
giving assistance to an enterprise
which : many cool-headed business
men have designated as .the biggest
and best philanthropic; enterprise
ever projected in Oregon.; that of the
farm home for dependent children
which is being '"mothered" by the
Oregon W. C. T. V. -.-
There - are at the ' present time
literally hundreds of fatherless chil
dren in Oregon who, if sheltered at
all, have no real home or love, and
in the large part are given such
grudging care that they are bound
to grow up into shrinking men and
women, unfitted to meet life's prob
lema bravely .a
Organizations outside of the church
have taken an interest in this enter
prise and are giving generously, but
this Is.a service to which; the church
and individual Christians should give
support even -without solicitation
from the projectors of the - home.
What will the worldling think of
that body to whom He said, ' "Inas
much as ye did It to these" if they
do not take a leading part in making
a home to shelter the heads of "these
least" that they may have the honor
of "doing it unto Him" in whose
footsteps they profess to walk their
earthly journey. Surely this appeal
will not fall upon deaf ears.
It is hard times and churches are
burdened with the regular expense
of making the "wheels go round" but
surely such: work as this may well
be counted legitimate expense for
the church of God. ?

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE
THE tremendous grip .narcotics
have on those who become ad
dieted to drugs is not more start
llngly illustrated than in a case that
has just been discovered in Illinois.
A young woman in that state, it
has been found, has submitted to
14 surgical operations, all of which
were entirely unnecessary, as, a means
of obtaining the drugs that she
craved. It is even suggested that she
inflicted Injuries, upon ' herself in
order to return to hospitals and there
secure opiates. v ' "!
While in hospitals, the. young
woman seemed never, to get welt
She used the radiator and water
bottles to keep her temperature high.
After discharge from one institution
she would turn up in another, under
go another operation, and remain as
long as possible. . : , I'
A physician ' who recently was In
charge of her case says: (
I feel perfectly safe In eaylnr that
this patient would submit to any kind
11 S?"S
aa - uu& vluvjP . vuier oamuo
drugs. During her stay In the Rockford
hospital she has tried every means to
obtain an operation through taking vari
ous) troubles and disorders.
That is what drug sailers lead their
victims to. ,1s "it any: wonder that
public sentiment' all over the coun
try Is running high against narcotic
peddlers, and that campaigns are
under way to save other people from
a similar fate?
The bill in congress to deport
aliens caught peddling drugs ought
to pass without a dissenting vote.
, The abandonment of a part of the

Plea for More- Shifts Entered.
Weed, CaU . March 27. To the Editor
of The Journal In a recent Isaue of Tne
Journal - a prominent- manufacturer .- is
tiuoted as saying that before the war
he was an ardent champion of the eight
hour day. ; as conditions then, warranted
it, but, now that.conditions have changed,
he believta the eight-hour day should be
BuspendedNtemperarily. .. . .
X do not see the reasonaUeness of
policy that favors the eight-hour dav
when there is a job for every man, yet
advocates a longer work day when there
are, mmsajids-aeeking employment. The
reason given In favor of a longer day is
that there must be more production at
less cost to everyone. To substitute the
10-hour for the -eight-hour day without
even pro rata compensation, as the party
referred -" to " is attempting to do In the
lumber Industry in Northern California,
doeav net. mean more production at less
cost to everyone, but is clearly a case
of more production at less eost to the
employer - and at the expense of the
workera .
There are any number of such cases one I one week, another another, as ao
1 over the country, yet we are Midi tnar if wnafrvtai .vt
all
noblyacama
lf of the employment aituasion
there is need of greater production, why
not add some ef the unemployed ex-
service men to the payrolls, putting on
another shift if necessary, instead of
adding two hours to the day of those

There Is nothing in an the world Quite
so beautiful as childhood. X think this
ia so because in children there is Inne
eence ; and whether or not. growing older.'
we sometimes dare to smile at innocence,
deep down In our hearts we have an '
abiding -veneration for It - For Inno
cence is not ignorance. - Imagine calling
a white rose "ignorant.' But Innocent,
yes. .. . . .; .- - .
Childhood Is doubly dear when Ita
happy years are shared with another.
There Is scarcely a more wonderful Jove -
than that which often exists between
two slaters. For in an affection like this .
there Is no thought of Jealousy or rival
ry only the pure nncontamlnated love
that is the result of the tie of blood. It
is as unselfish as the dawn or sunset,
as fragrant as lilacs wet with rain, as -much
to be cherished as the one perfect . '
friend "who sometimes a --. miraculously '
comes Into our later Uvea
Then. too. we all look back upon our '
childhood : with - longing eyes as NV .
vember loqks back at the vanished April
and we see, .often through a mitt of
tears, all that we once were, and as we
wish we might have been able to remain.
We know.- as good Bishop Earle knew,
that a child is "a white paper, unscrib
bled with observations of the world. '
wherewith, at length, it becomes a
blurred notebook. It was thla same
wise man who aald that a child Is The
Christian's example, and the old man's
relapse ; the one imitates his pureness
and the other falls late his simplicity." :
xes, u we could regain the ingenuous
ness and beauty of .childhood we should '
be rich indeed. The best that we may
hope for with the crowding years is the
golden memory of that which we inev
itably lost, and look upon the children
who follow us as we look upon the stars
symbols of a power and a purpose be
