Brodie, editor of the Oregon City Lf City Enterprise, ex-minister to Siam, has been desig nated as the new minister to Finland. The Statesman hast ens to ccnsrratulate Mr. Brodie upon his new assignment; and to commiserate with the journalists and politicians of Oregon over the impending departure of Mr. Brodie from our midst. Just how a governor may be chosen without the friendly visits of E. E. (nee Steve) over the state is a mat ter of grave uncertainty. Lacking Brodie's sage counsel, the. state is sure to make some grievous mistake. Going to Finland puts Mr. Brodie at quite the opposite point of the globe from his former assignment at Bangkok, Siam. There it was hot. continually hot. In Finland Mr. Bro die' will assuredly cool off 'until mayhap he will wish him self back in Bangkok. He will be comforted however that he is going to a fellow-prohibition country. Since Turkey for sook the dry dictate of the . Koran, Finland and we stand alone among the nations. True, if accounts we read are cor rect, Finland's drouth is even less exacting than that in America. In his new post Mr. Brodie may rejoice that he comes from a prohibition country, for then he will not have to supply warm' Rhenish to the dry-voting, wet-acting Fin nish senators. His embassy will not be an oasis like the for eign legations in Washington ; and that indeed will be a vast relief to the purse of the diplomat from the Clackamas. We are glad Mr. Brodie iroes to Finland, for we feel I sure that he will come back.

It was lone ago found that it is safer toravel by rail than to stay at home, and the accident Insurance companies accordingly agree to pay double the face of a policy of a person killed while riding on a railroad train. The old Milwaukee railroad employee said some more things, particularly complimentary to the Southern Pacific railroad. One thing, he said, the proportionate number of accidents on this great system is lbw, compared with -the other systems of this country. He attributed part of this to splendid management and up to the min ute equipment in every depart ment, from the track under the local section man up to the crack trains. And he spoke well of the personnel of the Southern Pacific system. His Idea was that part of this was due to the old age pen sion system that was inaugurated by E. H. Harriman, one of the pioneers in this field. He said his road, the Milwaukee, has no pen sion system, excepting one main tamed by the employees them selves, supported by their contri butions. The conclusion of this sermon is that something should be done about automobiling that will make its accident and death tolls smaller. " m V S The roads and streets hould be made safer for the drivers, and the pedestrians, too, who are disposed to observe the rules of the road and the instincts of de cency and neighborllness, against the recklessness and lawlessness of "the other fellow". Every one who drives an auto mobile takes his life in his hands every time he goes out on the highways, from the reckless and careless fellows he must meet. The lives of perhaps 100 men and women were In peril from the four racing machines on the Sac ramento valley highway, for the thoroughfare was fairly busy with machines going both ways V In Germany when a man is found driving in a drunken con dition his license Is taken away from him not for 30 days or six months, but for lffe. S The danger on the American highways is not so much from high speed as. it is from poor and reckles driver, and drunken ones. t Then we have 4S different rules of the road In our 48 states, to say nothing of the hundreds of cities. We have the same thing in our crime ware. There are 4S different kinds Of criminal laws and penal rules in this country. They do -the thing better in Great Britain, "where there is one system for all, and every prison is under one supreme head. We have too much "states' rights" in the Unit'ed States, in these two particulars, and in many others. That's the sermon. There Is enough intelligence Ja the United States to work out these matters, by general cooperation. Individual Initiative is a good thing, la many ways. It is a bad thins In matters that, affect alike the order and safety of the whole or our 120.- 000,000 people In continental United States.

Nimw rUr Sarrlo. tea Lay Sermons X A TURK'S DRUNKEN SPREE (The Bend Bulletin) Nature went on a drunken spree when it decided to fashion the Bend country, says a writer in a magazine publinhed In New York. Not only does rock float, wood sink and water rnn up hill la the Bend area, but according to the eastern publication work men excavating basements fre quently feel their picks go "tum bling through fissures Ttfto the very bowels of the earth." And, furthermore, "county officials," digging into Pilot butte to get surfacing material, "found to their amazement that inside it was sheeted in solid ice." As the writer warms to his sub ject, the wonders of the Bend country, "where Dame Nature went on a jag," multiply. The Metolius river is pictured as springing from a big rock. The Deschutes is described as a mighty, pov.erful stream. "Yet in places a man can jump across it. so deep and narrow is the can on it has cut," says the writer. The Lower Bridge diatomite mines are pictured as hills of rocklike substance. A 10-year-old boy can pick up and toss for many feet a piece of diatomite the size of a man, it is added. The rock that floats, says the magazine, author is pumice. The wood that sinks is mountain ma hogany. And as to the water well, it doesn't really run up hill. It just seems to, .due primarily, to the effect of an elevation of 3500 feet, atmospheric conditions and the lay of the country. There are a few inaccuracies and exaggerations in the article. but, doubt if you wish, the writ er has not done full justice to the wonders of the Bend country. Bend is not built on a mere sheet of lava it is built on innumer able sheets and far under the la va is an eroded mountain range. And the Metolius river does not spring full grown from a big rock it issues from the base of one of the most perfect volcano cones in western America. The diatomite mines of Des chutes county are described as hills of rock-like substance. No eastern magazine printing fiction should he satisfied with this state ment, when facts are more Inter esting. The diatomite plant Is a place where microscopic plant fos sils are mined, a place where po tential face powder is excavated with a steam shovel. Even the magnitude of the lava river tunnels of the Deschutes basin is underestimated. There Is described a cave "hundreds of feet long, "the old bore of a lava flow." Central Oregon's lava tun nels are thousands of feet long and they are the underground channels through which molten rivers of rock coursed long years ago. Perhaps Dame Nature did g on a drunken spree when she de cided to fashion the Bend coun try but the results of that jag can be described better by facts than by fiction. AGE SPEAKS TO YOUTH !

For the criminal who is jailed to plead regret for his wrong is a vary common occurrence. , Hick man hoped that his crime and his fate might be a "warnurgco the young." Many and many another whose sin has found him out, weeps from his sense of guilt; and counsels youth not to walk in his footsteps. But did you ever hear of a man who had led an upright life and reached old age, who advis ed boys to choose deliberately a career of crime? Do you know of any veteran in Christian living who says to boys and girls to forsake old standards and to throw themselves away In lech erous pleasares? No; no Indeed.

Ore- Jan, 11. (API The first Jewish social fraternity at Oregon Sttae college has Just been granted permission to organize by the student inter ests committee. The new fratern ity will be the 36 th 'fraternity for men on the campus. The new lo cal has taken the name of Beta Phi Tan and will petition one of the strong national Jewish fra ternities. - ing Interest charges on its invest ment In roadbed. While stipulated taxes are prac tically alike in their amount for both busses and railroad compan ies, the public provides the bus with a free roadbed and compels the railroad to build its own. In fact the Btate not only com pels the railroad to build its road bed but it can dictate when It shall build It. As The Voter points out, the bus industry, may be too young to stand the strain of building its own highways. However, the idea appears to be growing that the disparity, between bus and raifroad operation is extremely unfair. Some means should be taken of equalizing the two. At the present time, the inter state commerce commission has ordered a great railroad company to build a cross state line in the interest of the publio good. The order is, in effect, conscription of railroad capital. We are not op posing the order, because we be lieve that it was a just order. But suppose that the state should enact legislation that would compel the trucks and bus ses to build their own highways. Yet the state does this very thing to the railroads. Much of the injustice that arises from this disparity in treat ment is removed, however, when the railroads purchase the bus and truck lines an doperate them. It is common knowledge that many of the bus lines in the state are operated by the railroads. The question of whether tne public shall furnish means of transportation for privately own ed companies has a strong nega tive side that bids fair to receive considerable support in the not distant future. Albany Demo crat-Herald. women to cleave to the good In life there must be a correctness in such counsel which lies deeper than custom. Private virtue and the recognition of It are ancient; and it takes more than the up setting philosophy of the modern prophets of moral anarchy to ov erthrow the fundamentals of per sonal morality. But why Is it with all the ad monition of the elders, with all the discipline and the training in the home, with all the lessons of the school and all the teaching of the Sunday schools that youth Is wayward? Look back at the young people you knew in grade school or high school. Count the moral failures in that group. The number Is sure to be astounding. Our agencies for character building score too high a per centage of failure. A mechanical device no more accurate and de pendable in its results than our "factories" for training of youth would quickly be discarded. Per haps we would discard church and school too, if we could con trive some substitute which would more successfully build character. I offer no alternative, but I do! recommend that parents and teachers and preachers stand off and look at their work objective ly. How do your results measure up? How good a job are you do ing with the boys and girls in your care? Where is the cause of your failures? Here are some of the sources of failure in the Sunday school: Instruction in mere historical church creed, thinking that such knowledge will enable the youth to meet his personal temptations. Instruction that is purely narra tive of facts 'from the Bible. There Is no more virtue in mere facts from the Bible than from Herodotus. Inspiration must ac company information. Then there is failure to define objectives; some church schools attempt merely to make converts, they ig nore development of character. Probably both material and meth ods in religious schools must be revised to make them function more successfully in the training of youth to meet the allurements of a life of evil. The Eccleslast was a man of the world. He knew the pleasures of living and he knew the folly of frivolity. Here was his closing preachment to youth: "Rejoice, O young nn. in tby youths ad let thy heart cheer thee in the days ot tby youth, sod walk in the ways of thine heart and ia the sight ef thtae eyes: but kno thou, that for all thrae thing Goi will bring thee iate judg mea.t." - The "Preacher" knew human nature. He knew that young mea and women in spite ot all that might be taught them, would many of them follow the IncUna tion ot their own desires, with only the warning of ultimate reckoning to restrain them. As It was in his day. so is it in ours. No church school may be a fact ory turning out a product Identi cal In texture and quality; for the' raw material is infinitely var ied. Spite of this, the burden still remains for the radical revamping of our equipment and method of moral training of hoys and girls, both to Justify our effort and to conserve social and personal values.'

RAILROAD TAXES The Oregon Voter compares the percentage ot income spent for taxes and roadbed investment by the busses and railroad compan ies operating In Oregon and finds that the busses are spending 6.6 per cent of their operating In come while the railroads are pay ing from 25 to 30 per cent. The disparity results from the fact that the public donates to the bus lines the use of its highways but requires the railroad compan ies to construct their own road' beds. . The 6.6 per cent bug tax Is for lleenfe fees and gasoline tax. The railroad pays 6.4 per cent of its income on its physical property, and from 20 to 25 per cent on maintaining its roadbed and pay Yamhill Sheep Raisers Meet McMINXVILLE, Jan. 11.
