CUCKOOS AND CUCKOOS ORTLAND papers need Vnot concern themselves too much about whether the East Oregonian is a cuckoo and whether the cuckoo is a desirable bird. If those papers will turn the spotlight upon themselves they will find excellent opportunity to study the subject at closer quarters. The theory that all journalistic greatness origi nates in Portland is founded on conceit, not facts. Most of the good causes that have succeeded in Oregon have been championed by the East Oregonian, before their success, not afterwards. Some of these moves were advocated by this paper before the Journal came into existence. Some since that time. Wherever the Journal has followed the lead of the East Oregonian it has generally been right. If it would follow closer on certain subjects and with more speed it could be come a still greater newspaper. It might lose money by the pro cess and again it might make more. As to the Portland Oregoni an it could be called the great est cuckoo in the state. It now echoes sentiments expressed by this newspaper 10 years ago and longer. It has been a fol lower at all times, never a lead er. It never comes to the bat until the game is won and there is nothing left but the shout ing. It is a trailer, not a guide. It never initiated a worthy movement in its life and if it should try something of that sort it would have the cramps. The Oregonian's favorite role is as bootwiper for special priv ilege. It defends the existing order regardless of what thievery may be underway. It has never lifted a hand to pro mote the real progress of Ore gon, socially, politically or in dustrially. It comes on the job after the work is all done. It is a cuckoo of rather slow gear but a cuckoo just the same. If the point is not clear to them they should use a gimlet. MR. HOUSTOnTSEARCH Jrt R HOUSTON, secretary JiH f agriculture, in in Oregon Keeking first hand information about the forest service. It is an effec tive way to secure information. The man who gets upon the ground and so comes in close contact with his problem is less likely to err than the offi cial who secures all his data by long distance methods. Though it may not always involve the forest service, one thing Mr. Houston will observe if he travels over the northwest is the fact we have immense power sources that are unde veloped. On the Columbia, the Deschutes, Snake and numer ous lesser streams there is suf ficient latent power to gener ate electricity to answer won derful purposes. If the secretary of agricul ture will consult the electric interests, their lawyers, news papers and their politicians he will be advised that the govern ment should allow private in terests to take over these re sources and develop them on a basis of spending as little money as possible and making all the profits they can. But the rest of the people would like to see these resour ces developed on a big scale, not with a view to private prof it making but with a view to utilizing nature's riches for the benefit of the people. They want electricity at rates that will bring it into general use. They want it not merely for il lumination purposes but also to cook with, warm houses and render all the service possible to society. Here is hoping Mr. Houston will take this view, or the prob lem after he has finished his work in the field. IN PREPARATIONFOR life FOLLOWING closely upon 41 the steps of other public men, Dr. Charles A. Wag ner, state commissioner of edu cation of Delaware, has given his views as to the possibilities of adopting a system of indus trial education in Wilmington. "Without waiting for unani mous consent," said Dr. Wag ner, "every city and town com munity must take some action in this matter of teaching stu dents that prepare for voca tions. The facts positively de mand it. "What are the facts? In New York city alone, I know positively that approximately 90,000 boys between the ages of 14 and 16 are in occupations in which they can never earn more than $9 or $10 a week; that is, without education that has vocational accompani ments. Boys and girls leave school and take the first job that offers, to find themselve-i in a blind alley, a pathway to despair, before they ever reach maturity. "Another fact: 85 out of every 100 children receive lit tle or no education after the fifth or sixth school grade. Sta tistics prove that this percent age is about right. They drop out of school to go to work and thereafter stop almost all mental development. They may be able to read and write, but taste, appreciation, enjoy ment of the distinctly human the mental and intellectual pleasures is never reached. We have so many children in Dela ware who must be in such a short time confronted with the necessity of earning their daily bread that it seems a great pity that something cannot be done better to prepare them for life's struggle than merely teaching reading, wTiting and arithme tic. I am quite sure that if the subject is approached from the proper angle those in charge of the education of our children and those charged with the making of laws governing edu cation cannot help seeing the tremendous necessity for the introduction of industrial edu cation into our school system." a a New laws to the extent of 250 or more have just gone in to effect in Oregon. These measures did not carry the em ergency clause and hence had to wait 90 days before becom ing effective. Most people think our legislative law fac tory overdid the job. But in California a total of 2877 bills were introduced during the ses sion and a total of 969 were en acted into law. ed air is In the fact freh water may he had under tre&sure at any time Iron, the well.

Settlers Very Active The Furnish project Is now a scene of activity from Stanfleld to the government reservoir. Considerable new building work Is un derway and many settlers are engaged In development work on their tracks. PutUn In Alfalfa Harry Duvall.

Interned shlH Inspected NEW YORK, May 22 Customs Inspectors to the number of 70 wert In two boats to the North German Lloyd and Hamburg-American Steam ship company piers In Hoboken, where many German steamers are tied up, Including the giant steamer Vataerland, ostensibly on their reg ular monthly trip of inspection. Ordinarily the squad of Inspectors consists of about 12 men. The un usual size of the detail today gave rise to report that the visit wai more than a mere Inspection and that the big vessels would be search ed throughout. It was rumored that the visit was made on telegraphle Instructions from Washington. Sunday Movies Hamietl. I PHILADELPHIA, May 22. Moving pictures, either in private or public, I will not be permitted in theaters on Sunday as the result of an order is ,sued by Director Porter to Superln .tendent of Poi:ce Robinson recently I The director said that he did not issue a permit for the private exhl I billon given In a Market street thea ter on a recent Sunday, but following that Incident he received five appli cations In a week for permits for shows on Sunday. Later fifteen ap plications were made and all refused "During my visit to the west," said the director, "I saw enough of the open Sunday In San Franc'sco. While I have the power we will have noth ing of the sort In this city. Many of the persons asking for permission to open on Sunday did so With the plea that part of the proceeds were to go to charity. This may have been so, but 1 believe that the latter object was being used for a purpose, and that the persons desirous of giving Sunday shows were using It as a wedge for a wide-open Sunday." Coos Hay Mill Starts l"p. MARSHFIELD, Ore , May 21. The Simpson Lumber company's sawm'.U at Porter resumed after having been chut down since December 1. The mill employs about "0 men.

THE HIGHEST RECORD WAS 55 MILES TO A GALLON OF GASOLINE. 44 CARS AVERAGE 40 MILES TO A GALLON OF GASOLINE. A New Standard for Measuring Motor Car Efficiency Here at last, with the remarkable record, the FRANKLIN car. establishes a standard for comparison of automobile efficiency. It provides the public with a simple and definite means for judging automobile values the best they have had since the automobile was invented. Everybody knows how to judge the rel ative value of uphol stery, paint, leather, fittings the things on the outside of the car. It is the things on the inside things the buyer doesn't sec that burn up money. If the car is not right in design, in construction, in ma terial, it will show first in the gasoline tank. Engineers determ ine the efficiency of an a u t omobile by comparing the useful power delivered to the driving wheels, with that which ia lost by friction, more gasoline is used. . Gasoline consump tion will show up in eficient tires. They will use extra power in friction more gas oline is used. Gasoline consump tion will show up ex cessive weight. Excess weight requires more power to move. More gasoline is used. Gasoline consump tion will indicate whether a car will last. Where more gasoline is used there is friction, and where there is friction there is wear and tear. Gasoline consump tion will show up use less mechanical com plications. The more working parts to a car the greater the friction more gaso line is used. The mileage secur ed from a gallon of gasoline is a true in dication of the total efficiency of the whole car. It takes into account the effi ciency of the tires, axles, universal joints transmission, clutch, mechanical efficiency 5f the engine, ther modynamic efficiency of the engine every thing about the car. Mr. Buyer Think what this test of the Franklin car meant to you to every owner of an automobile to the scientific and technical men who watched the test from start to finish. Think what it means when so little power is lost by friction; when the maxim of power is delivered to. the driving wheels with an aver age of 32.1 miles to a gallon of gasoline the country over. You have had your experience. 1 Now Make Your Comparisons To any man or woman who cares enough about motor car efficiency mo tor car economy to examine the Franklin car, we will prove to you why the FRANKLIN is the most efficient Automobile in America today why it is the easiest riding car why it will go farther in a day, with the greatest comfort , and the least expense. ; We rely entirely upon our certified facts, upon proven results. They mean so much to you, we want you to have them even though you do not buy another car in five years. , LET US DEMONSTRATE THIS FINE CAR TO YOU. ' - - Pendleton Auto Co.
