THAT IS
.. . Under the heading, 41 Buy. the Site," the Portland Journal
of last night said editorially : I ' .
"The state board of control should purchase a new training
school site and commence work on the new school. 7!
I . "It has been more than a year since the. Legislature appro
, priated funds for the new institution. During that time the
board of control has inspected sites and inspected sites, but to
date there has been no purchase of ground to say nothing of
preparation for the buildings. f
J , "The Journal does not believe; as some critics profess, that
V politics has anything to do with the failure to select a site.
I f Jlather, it believes that the delay has been brought about by
rrrdisagreements on the board, disagreements that, though per
r V'fectly honest, have been' permitted to block; aotion entirely too
'long. ' . -;7:7: j - : " :' .
i t "The state needs a new training school..; Much of our crime
-; 7is committed by boys under.the age of 23 years. Many of them
n'have been former inmates of the training school for boys.
"Authorities agree that the present site is antiquated and
that it might easily be"a breeder of criminals rather than an
" institution of reformation. ! -
: , rhe new plan contemplates segregation of the yo'ung
sters by, means of cottages, where the younger boys may be
' kept apart from those who have advanced farther in the school
v of crime.,. That is good business. It is an attempt to salvage
young men. That is" one of the best investments a common
wealth can make, and it is one that should not be longer de
Ulayed." : y ..,.;7:;.'r;;-;...'i7-
f . The writer agrees in the main with the' above. It expresses
" the general conviction of the good people of Oregon
Li-i But one of the statements calls loudly for correction; the
" - ..... n-w sww v- sr a trn TiTirtiT Trvf T " a? T
statement that MANX UF Tii&n havi bcjjuix vunjuni
INMATES OF TILE TRAINING SCHOOL FOR BOYS."
That is not so. i
There have been 2460 boys in that institution in the thirty
two years sinoe it was opened, including the 171 there now.
(This is the highest number ever there at one time.)
1 1 UI the iirst wu, in tne iirsx live years, six anerw urus cicu
time in penitentiaries. At least one of these finally" became a
i , s law abiding and useful man. He is so today. The other five are
not all bad.
Of the last 700, in the last seven years the proportion has
not teen greater. It has likely not been greater in the whole,
number J- .7 : t7 ' v - . v. ' ,
vThat is, perhaps 06 of the 2460 haveptcrxed ox-lW.erve
time in penitentiaries. f -. ;
That does not justify the statement that "many of them
have been former inmates , of the training school for boys,"
meaning many of those guilty of crime. ; The statement is a
slander against those 2460 boys; at least against all of them but
the 23 who went wrone after their training there.
The fact is, the reformations at the Oregon institution are
' as high as the average throughout the country; and the general
claim is 80 to 90 per. cent. i . .
' However, it is possible to give the boys still better train
ing; to fit them still better for useful members of society.
Better facilities will help in this 7 7 ; ; -
i And, this writer believes, the best thing that can be done
for them is to teach them, among other things, fruit growing
and gardening and general farming; and this writer believes
also that in this way they may render the institution self sup
sporting, in due course of time, with the right kind of land and
" the right use of that land. J ;7
When someone is reported as making a "keynote" speech
that sets forth the views of Calvin Coolidgej it is well to re
member that President Coolidge has warned the people against
" crediting him with views Borne one else expresses. Mrf Cool-
idge is not very long on talk, but when he speaks there is no
doubt about what he means. r
A GOOD PLAN
Albany college Is arranging to
'have the Portland business insti
tutions give employment to Its
students during vacation periods.
This paper has pointed out many
times that these colleges ought to
be in larger places because of the
many more opportunities for stud
ents working their way through
school. The present plan really
goes this one better, provided the
students are paid enough In va
cation and are frugal enough dur-
' lng the balance of the year. It is
a hardship, and we venture the
assertion that the majority of the
"young men who work their way
through : college become so bent
and accustomed to looking at the
ground that they never are able
to straighten up and take high
places inTthe world. The strong
er do, but the weaker do not. We
know from fad experience bow
hard it is to work during school,
go without sleep, and numb the
social sensibilities all for an edu
cation. We venture that thou
sands of young men every year pay
- too big a price for what they get.
The Albany plan beats this. A
young man can afford to work
hard for part of the year and can
riord, to live frugally on some
bone!.bulldirig food In order to get
his education. It is a good plan
It U a better plan than to work
and go to school at the same
time. We thought for some time
that a good many students would
adopt th plan of going to school
till their money was exhausted,
tfcea drop out and teach or do
poniething else until money was
r-e-jrei to graduate. It is not

necessary to graduate as young as
It used to be. .
THE DAY OF COOLIDGE
At a time when radicalism was
at its height and it looked as
though it. would sweep the coun
try, president Coolidge, quiet and
without any display whatever came
upon the scene and took command.
He issued, no. orders; he made no
statement but he went to work.
Every day) he "touched the country
in some new place,' mastered some
new problem. It was in startling
contrast to the age qf bluster and
blow.' J When the primaries came,
which were looked upon to annihi
late him, he. began carrying one
after another. It shows that the
people are tired of pyrotechnics
and anxious foraction. 'President
Coolidge does not talk much,' but
when he opens his mouth he says
something. . He knows beforehand
what he is going to sayT and when
he is through ,he quits. It is a
great relief at "a time-when bluff
and blow' was threatening every
thing to have:a quiet, effective
man come into leadership.
UNUSUALLY GOOD HOOK LET
If the: booster booklet just
issued by SUverton is beaten this
year it; Will mean a remarkable
crop of booster literature. This
booklet It highly illustrated with
actual scenes arid buildings in and
around; SUverton. t The r photo
graphs were taken by Mr,-' Drake,
wniie iir. Hoblltt had charge of
issuing the (book; and arranging
tag puoi.
This booklet is for free d 1st rl
butlon and copies should be placed
la as many public places as pos
sible. Nothing issued ' this year
will be a better boost for Oregon.
We'congratulate SUverton. as well
as the enterprising photographer
and the young : publisher. : The
printing is especially good. 7
THE 1UGI1T NEWS
The Oregon Statesman likes to
publish booster news. That sort
of news -is making the Willamette
valley come Into its own. Here is
a piece of news from the Mt.
Angel News that has the right
ring about it: :
"The result of a trip to Tilla
mook of Joseph Bernt and John
Unger several weeks - ago is that
ten farmers have become Inter
ested In Guernsey cattle. Fourteen
Guernsey calves i. were brought
from Tillamook and were 'taken
as follows: ; ' 7 7 1
"Arthur Schaefer, 3; ! Henry
Butsch, 1; Ed Koessler, 1; Eu
gene Hoffer, 2; Fred Rehm, 2;
William Haman. Jr., 1; Joseph
Obersinne. 1; F. Froemel, ; 1; F,
Hetterscheid, 1; Joseph Bernt. 17
"In connection with the subject
of blooded cattle it will be re
called that the report "Was brought
out that the president of the local
Calf club was In possession of a
Jersey bull calf. , This was a mis
understanding, as the young man
in question has a Holstein bull
calf."
OXE ORIGINAL UXE
An alleged poet in Albany pub
lishes in the Democrat, quite a
lengthy poem. It tells of a young
man leaving his eastern home and
coming out here to ; Oregon and
being elected , to congress. It
is a paraphrase on the original
poem that stated that the son had
gone out west and had written
home later that he had been sent
to the legislature, "but didn't state
what fur." This writer puts one
original line in as ' follows: In
speaking of the race he ran,
his father says: "I suppose 'twas
when they got him," then the
writer falls back into the hack
neyed, "but I don't know what he
had done." -, It is not a very good
showing 7 ' ' i ' '
RE-MA KIXG HISTORY I
A good many people believe that
history is the last word in accu
racy and that it is always straight,
but recent excavations and : dis
coveries have cast a , good deal of
doubt upon ancient history, no
matter how f ancient. King ; Tut,
a youthful ruler of Egypt, prob
ably started this. Now comes the
evidence that Helen of Troy, the
world's most famous first and en
during vamp, was not responsible
for the fall of Troy. It took a
long time to vindicate her. Helen
is now described as a demure
young lady in every respect. ; It
is good news that her fame has
been set upon the' right basis, but
if she loses her position as an
original vamp she will lose her
place in history. The world is
entirely too busy to follow after
unsensational maidens.
A TABLET FOR A POET
.There may be some poets living
who will win fame because of
their talent, but up to this time
the only real' poet Oregon has pro
duced is Sam L. Simpson, who has
been dead a good many years. He
was a man after the manner of
Poe in his life, and burned j out
early. He had the inspiration of
a' genius and a good number of
his poems strike fire. Dr. Doney
has proposed that a bronze statue,
to cost between $15,000 and $20,
000, be' erected at the state house
in memory of Sam L. Simpson.
This would be a fine tribute to the
memory of Oregon's greatest poet
but we will probably have to find
another R. A, Booth before it can
be done. There are so many- calls
for money for public purposes at
this time. . .:; ... "...
THE RUSSIAN TROUBLE
Russia may; have
government, but .it
a bolshevik
has already
learned the tricks of the monarch
ies or Europe. ; Whenever they
have trouble at home they start
foreign rumors In order to arouse
me patriotic passions oi tne peo
ple. Most of our war rumors are
intended for home consumption
to keep the: people in line. Once
in a while a nation has to go to
war to make good. Russia is Just
now trying to hold itself together
by rumors of war, and Trotsky is
accused of selling out his people in
order'tp hold himself at tho head
oi me army, i ne Doisneviks are
human after all.
A LONG LIFE
Jn i IS 47 James W. Gibson of
Wood burn came to Oregon" and
helped make this territory, first.a
United States possession and, sec-
and, a great state. What a won
aenui experience this man must
have had. In no similar period in
the world's history has so much
of Importance transpired,, and It
is safe to say that the next SO
years cannot possibly be more in
teresting than those during the
lifetime of this pioneer. .'
DOLLAR MOVING UP
' ' , ' t -
The latest statistics show that the
purchasing power of a gold dol
lar is now 70 cents. Thi3 is an
increase of 6 cents, and gradually
as the country advances around
the dollar, we will have 100 per
cent purchasing power. In ' many
lines we have that now; in others
wo do not. An American dollar
must always be the standard, and
until the purchasing power is 100
per cent we will not have a read
justed, stable government. .
SOUNDS FAMILIAR
An Idaho banker was caught
with liquor in his possession and
sent to jail for 30 days. On em
erging he came out mad all over,
and in an interview declared that
Idaho was a freak state, that the
laws were keeping out thousands,
and that the best people were mov
ing away. He laid it all to prohibition-
-T-
Just substitute one wor$ and
this would read very familiar In
Oregon.

THE PROMISE THAT KATIE
MADE SEEM A VOW
, "Meester Graham." 7
' Katie's voice held the same mix
ture of mischief and fright which
I had seen in her, face when we
made our exit through the side
door of the restaurant. The con
viction deepened in my mind that
she had some reason to fear the
possible : wrath of the restaurant
proprietor whose service she had
quitted so unceremoniously.
Dicky halted in his ropid stride
and looked down at her indul
gently. - j
"Yes, Katie, what's od
your
mind?" . ..-
Katie giggled In embarrassed
fashion. ; ' i
"I link we better take dot taxi-J
cab and get avay from dis place
qveek as ve : can." . She indicated
an empty machine, with the driver
standing idly near it.
Dicky looked at her keenly, then
without a word, but with an odd
little smile, lifted his stick, sum
moned the man and put . us into
the' machine. As he did so, I
looked nervously back and saw
the restaurant proprietor come
pell-mell out of. his door, and look
wildly up and down the street.
Luckily he looked the other way
first, and at the driver's question
as to our destination, I blurted
out the first thing which came
into my mind: "
"Brooklyn Bridge, and hurry."
"I Fraid to Tell." j

amazement, but I put my finger
on my lips, and he contented him

Dicky consulted - his watch.
"We have plenty of time, for
we can get lunch while 'you are

something to eat there?".
Oh, yes! . She feex me some
thing nice." '
"Then, ; that's settled. But
now" affectine a sternness which
I knew he', did not feel "suppose
you tell me, you imp, what you
did to make you so afraid that
restaurant proprietor was on your
trail."
Katie . looked slyly up at him.
"I fraid to tell." she said, but
her voice held nothing of remorse
or shame. Instead, it carried a
note of jubilation. ..
Try to conquer your learr
Dicky said dryly.; ' '
'Vot' you mean?" Katie de
murely asked, and as well as -1
know her. I could not tell whether
her blank expression was real or
assumed..
"I mean, thundered Dicky, "to
stop this nonsense and tell us what
you did. We may get into a dick
ens of a mess. There may be a
policeman, after us now."
I almost laughed aloud myself
at this suggestion, and Katie was
not in the least Impressed.

note which has rarely failed to
bring obedience from .her. "I
want you to tell me at once what
you did."-
She gulped, looked at me ana
giggled irrepressibly again.

ded with a regretful note.
nicbv threw hack his head ana
laughed long and heartily, while
I tried in vain to look properly
shocked, and Katie - grinned in
gamin-like triumph.
"Katie, I've certainly got to slip
you the frosted cake," Dicky said
at last, wiping his eyes. "What a
prize winner you'd be Tor the
cooks' union when they're on a
strike. But doh't you ever take a
notion to pour; kerosene oil over
the food in our refrigerator. If
you do, .you'll run back to your

"Poof! Katie registered scorn;

my peoples again. I sooch fool to

was the only one I heard Katie
make upon Jim's absence and her
own adventure for many a day. ,

I said to a friend of mine,
"Sometimes I want to. go to the
Holy Land and paint some pic
tures, and write, as beautiful and
honest and Understanding a book
as I can about the country and
its people." ,
"Yes?" said my friend. . "How
long have-you had that idea?"
Oh, two or three years, I should
think." ;; ' "

"you spoke about that same thing
at least : five years ago, and un
less, I'm mistaken,, you mentioned
it another" time several years be
fore that!" : ; . J ;
