SHOULD DEVOTE MORE TIME
ON IMPORTANT MATTERS
Congress deba: ;d tho antl-becr blK
for eight hours a id then passed It.
It seems to us that .rj it hours us6d
in debating a bill that can do no
one any good when thro is so much
that needs the attention of our law
makers is a sheer waste of time. A
few fanatics seem to have the idi a
that they will have their own way
or ruin the chances for any other
legislation. The anti-saloon league
has outlived its usefulness and it ib
time the paid workers were discharg
ed o that congress need not be har
rassed by a bunch of one idea nin
compoop and get down to some
useful and beneficial legislation.
DAWN OF A NEW DAY
The world already knows that the
armament conference Is not a "fore
gone futility," not an Inevitable re
treat to chaos and failure, not the
staged creation of diplomatic fencers,
not the actual paralysis and negation
of the world's aspirations for peace
through disarmament.
Tho ilardlng-IIughes proposal has
put to rout at once the objectors, the
dreamers, the visionaries, the evan
gels oi pessimism, the prophets of an
Impossible millennium, tho peddlers
of internationalist plffls, the babblers
about world federation.
It is more than a proposal; it Is
a demond for action, couched in ir
resistible phrase, responsive to the
highest and best thought of a world
wearied and nearly ruined by war,
supported by the moral power and
coercion of an enlightened, aroused
and chastened mankind.
It is idle to talk now of tho obsta
cles to limitation of armament. They
do not exist; they never did exist as
against a bold and determined pur
pone to overcome them. What are
they now? Where are those who say
that a great step forward has not
been mado toward the actuality of a
more peaceful world through aban
dotiment even partial abandonment
Of the provocative instrumentalit
ies of warfare?
II is a day and time of realities,
not Visional courage, not timidity; of
outright diplomacy, not of secret in
trigue. Civilization Is not sinking, but ris
Ing; not sunk, but saved. A new era
is dawning. Oregonlan.
OUR COUNTRY'S POLIOl
While PrMldtnt Harding has never
posed as an orator and has not pos
soused "tho almost perfect command
of the English .language," that gift
with which his predecessor was en
dowed, one cap read with Interest
and satisfaction his address made at
the opening of the d Isarmniucul con
ferenoc lie shows true statesman
ship in his address as follows:
"Gentlemen of the conference, the
United States welcomel: you .with
Unselfish Qsndt, We harbor no fours;
we have no sordid ends to serve; we
suspect no enemy; we contemplate
or apprehend BO conquest. Content
with what we have, we seek nothing
which is another's. We onl wish to
do. with you. that liner, nobler thing
which no nation can do alone.
"We wish to sit with joh at the
table of international understanding
and good will In good conscience
we are eater to meet you frankly
and Invite and offer cooperation
The world demands a sober loutttn
plat ion til the existing order and the
realization that there can be no cure
without sacntlce. not by one og us.
but by all ot us.
"1 do not mean surrendered rights
or narrowed freedom, or denied as
pirations, or Ignored national neoes
sit ion. Our republic would no more
ask for these than it would give. No
pride need bo humbled, no nationality
submerged, but I would have a mer
gence of minds commuting all of us
to less preparation for war and more
employment of fortunate poso
"Our hundred millions frankly
want less of armament and none of
war Wholly (roe from guile, sure
In our own minds that we harbor
no unworthy designs, we accredit
the world with the same good Intent
So 1 welcome you, not alone in good
wll and high purpose, but with high
tilth."
Secretary of State Hughes outlined
the policy of the tinted Slates which
Mr. Hughes believes would prove a
solution or part of the world's pre
plexitis problems. He said
"Hut if we are warned b the In
adequacy of earlier endeavors for
limitation of armamnt, we cannot
fail to recognize the extraordinary
opportunity now presented.
"We not only have the lessons of
the past to guide us, not only do we
have the reaction from the disillu
sioning experiences of war, but we
must meet the challenge of impera
tive economic demands. What was
convenient of highly desirable before
is now a matter of vital necessity. If
there Is to be economic rehabilita
tion, if the longings for reasonable
progress are not to be denied, if we
are to be spared the uprisings of
peoples made desperate in the desire
to shake off burdens no longer en
durable, competition in armament
must stop. Is it not plain that the
time haa passed for mere resolution.',
that the responsible powers should
examine the question of limitation
of armament? The time is co:.ie
and this conference has been called
not for general resolutions or mutual
advice, but for altlpn.
"We meet with full understand
ing that the aspirations of mankind
are not to be defeated either by
plausable suggestions of postpone
ment or by impracticable counsels
of perfection. Power and responsi
bility are here and the world await:
a practicable programme which shall
at once be put Into execution."
Perhaps if Umatilla had a mem
ber of the County Budget Committee
we could have at least a branch library.
"Every knock is a boost."

HOW TO RETAIN YOUTH LONG
Learn to Employ the Passing Year
With Constantly Increasing Wis
dom and Discretion.
Youth Is a quality, a spiritual energy
and, properly speaking, there Is in
"old ago." but spiritual decay. "Tb
font less prompt to meet the mornln
dew" Is no valid evidence of growlt,
'Id, tiny more than to lose a leg In
battle. Fussy physlCHl activities are
not the only tests of youth, writer
Itlchard l.e thillloime in Harper's Mug
arlne. That brain of Sophocles which
gave ,s the treat est play a) BO, is more
0 the point, as also that famous
-uylng recorded of him, In reference
to the cooling of the passions with the
years, thai to grow old was like being
set free from service to a band of
madmen.
Because we grow wiser and stronger,
less seitlsli and generally more useful
to our fellows with the passage of the
years Is not to say that we have lost
our youth. It only means thnt we
huve learned how to employ It. W(
In not run In every direction as we
lid. W know s little better what wi
are doing, or what we want to do; but
the motive force that enables us to do
It Is that seme energy which once drove
us 10 make foels of ourselves at the
beginning, and mt 111 provides the same
swift means to radiant ends."
Decay, disillusion, weurlness; we
mean these things when we speak of
"growing old," but we fall to realise thai
beet are no necessary nccompnai
Menu or the yearn. We may, unfor
tunately. Inherit them, or acquire them,
like bed hale t, (r through neglect wf
proper care and exervise of our spir
itual selves, spiritual and Intellectual
luslness makes most people "old before
their ilme." If we lose Interest In life,
life will soon lose Interest In us; and
It Is lust ss possible to achieve a preco
cious lenlUt) la the twenties aa at
any later period of our lives.

A PRAYINd COLONEL

team, started his now historic dash
around Harvard's left end to a
6 to 0 victory the other Saturday,
he was sprinting into football's
"Hall of Fame" as an All-American
back for 1921. Football folks
say that one performance, follow

marks him as one uf the greatest
grid men of the age. McMillan :s

FARM POINTERS
I'l'oni Department Industrial Journul

Oollegw,
Three pounds of skimmed milk
has a feeding value equal to one
pound of grain fed to fattening hogs.
Hogs fed on a ration of 5 pounds of
larley to five pounds of skimmed
milk made an average daily gain of
1.58 pounds in feeding tests.
Exercise or "loafing" sheds are
desirable for dairy cattle during tho
winter months. They protect the
animals from rain and keep them
out of the mud. Cattle given this
protection make a greater return
from feed consumed.
A three to five year rotation for
garden and truck crops is advisable
from the standpoint of pest and dis
sease control, finds the department
of botany and plant pathology. Po
tatoes particularly should be put on
different ground each year or some
of the most destructive potato dis
eases will be present to attack the
now crop. Lack of rotation has pro
bably caused a greater decrease In
garden yields than any other single
thing.
