'- If the dream of Senator Joseph should be realised, and we should be! able to offer to the manufacturers of the world the cheapest water power to be had any where, ourj section would very rapidly become a great hive of industry. J t -, . i There can be no retting of flax and hemp without the - "soft" water which we have, in which only the retting bac Tteria can live. That is very important in those textiles But f the freedom from electricity in the air and the humidity of our. atmosphere are worth as much in tne oiner. xexuie industries. - V X .

L. Burgan press secretary, at Washington, D. C.:) - i 5 ; ' In view of the approaching date of February 0, set by some for the end of the world, the executive committee of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination at their headquarters in this city have put on record the following repudiation : Whereas, a group of people having no connection with the Seventh-day Adventist church have assumed hef name of this organization, and have set a date for Christ's second advent, announcing February 6, 1925, as the time: for this event, we hereby place officially on record in th minutes of our General Conference our repudiation of all time-setting, and record our protest against connecting the name Seventh- day Adventist with this propaganda. Anew we declare to the public that . throughout our history our witness! to the signs of the times that show hand, has ever been based on that day and hour knoweth no UNCLE SAM, JAPAN, AND THE POPEl r : The proceedings of the antinarcotic conference at Geneva disclose that the fact that there are only three great forces standing unreservedly against And they are the Vatican, With Japan as the moral police force of Asia and the) Vatican as opium's historic antagonist since Pope Nicholas of the thirteenth century, stands Mr. Porter, head! of the 'American delegation, appearing as the prosecuting attorney of civilization, . t ; j .!, ;; Why only these three? ! f i Because England, Holland, and all the rest of the powers - are in some way concerned in the profits of the opium trade. That's why. ; V'r'.-: 1 'M' - So are Japanese, but Japan as a nation is big! enough to overlook the present profits of some of her peof)l4 for the ' greater good of her whole responsibility a the guardian of the Orient. " And she; is very wise. 1 :..'pS:'-UJr'i -i L Secretary of State Hughes said, the other day, that Japan is the only nation in the world with which the Urtitld States has no quarrel at the present time. ' i V A LlItGCIl NORMAL The Eugene Guard, which dls , cusses everything from a highly f lateUectuat standpoint, - declares that either there must bo more normal schools or there must -be increased facilities at the. present one. The proposal is .made to add ' normal . departments in the agricultural college and tne state unMersity. Tossibly this could -cave a few dollars la money, but . .1 Manager .

All the educational institutions of Oregoi are located within -70 miles of Salera.vIfj the state Is going to locate more,! they must be over In the districts not repre sented, like ' Ashland? and La Grande. -' ? -- - However, j at the present ;tlme there Is every reason to believe that given proper facilities, the normal at Jloumouth' caa -meet all the requirements tor the next few years, after which the ques tion of locating branch, normals can come up for serious consider ation. In the present 'condition of our taxpayers It would not be fair to heavily burden, them by establishing two new , normal schools now. It would be much easier to increase the facilities of the one at Monmouth : so It can cover the field. It is doing the best It can. and it is not covering the field now. but it can if prop erly f equipped. However, every dollar spent there Is a permanent Investment, and can be kept as state property for many years, l It seems to us the thing to do is to strengthen the present normal school and then when we get a little eased up, establish two new ones in regions not now served by any Institution . for higher educa tion. THE DRIVE - E.-S. Barnes has taken hold of the drlye for the Red' Cross for Marion and Polk counties. That it will be put across energetically goes 'without saying. Mr. Barnes is an organ iztr, a successful busi ness man. and he believes heartily in the Red Cross. But Mr, Barnes Is entitled to the help -of all the friends of the Red Cross In the two counties and that. Is practically all the popula tion. Mr. Barnes can ; not be ex pected to do this work alone. There are so many people who.be lieve In what he is doing. There is a danger of (everyone thinking there are enough workers,- and let ting It go at that. That Is the only danger that conf fonts the drive. Overonfldence is ; a bad thing. Mr. Barnes must, nave the active help of the friends ot this movement everywhere. That being true. , the drive ? will f go across without anybody feeling it. It only costs a dollar; rich and poor alike pay the same amount. It is the people's contribution to relief work which they are anxious to do, and can not do individually. In this county the work is largely looking after - the - soldiers, and certainly nothing is more meri torious. AFTER STONE Nothing: shows the littleness of big men more than . the attempt to get Attorney General I Stone, who has ' been nominated for the su preme bench. The only charge against Stone is that be has done his duty and his offending Is that in doing his duty, he has to chal lenge a United 1 States senator. Certainly the senators of Wash ington can' not afford to be ad vertised to the country as pro tecting any man who is under the espionage ot the law. If Stone is an unfit man he should not go on the . supreme bench, but the very fact that he has Insisted on doing his duty in the face of these great obstacles shows that he must be Just the sort of man who is needed on the supreme bench. That position Is no; place for a jellyfish; no place for time-servers. It is a place for! men of cour age who realize the responsibility of their positions and act . fear lessly, i Attorney General Stone seems to fit the requirements al most as if he were made for the place.' ; . . , If, Of course no one can object, to people bringing all sorts ?of ; mat ters before the legislature, but It does seem thai the proposition to put Oregon in a class with Florida is I about v the limit, ; They are openly j bidding for rich merj ! In Florida. They are openly bidding, for men who want to escape just taxation in other states, f They even - passed a ) law permitting a man to be divorced from . an In sane wife. Florida has set out to be the rich man's paradise. Oregon offers an opportunity for everybody, rich i and poor. ' It is an agricultural and fruit grow ing state, with .immense water power that must be utilized in the next few years. . It would be hard to : imagine two . situations more different than those between Ore gon and Florida. i CTTTIXG GOVERNMENT EX PENSES It is true that taxes are not go ing to be reduced (Very much in Oregon because the growing needs of the Institutions must be met. However, that is all the ; more reason for economy and cutting to the bone on every appropria tion. We have so much govern ment now that the cost Is tremen dous, and do the best we can. taxes are going to.be high, but If we are careful we can use econ omy and keep them down" so that the; growing property interests will ease the burden. . i GOOD.
