NEWS AND COMMENT
IS IT WORTH THE COST?
Few newspapers have the nerve
to criticise any o f the educational
methods in use today, no differ
ence how ridiculous or extrava
gant they may anpear. There is
a hue and cry raised whenever
there is any criticism o f modern
methods and the objector is term
ed an obstructor, a knocker and
many other undesirable names.
For this reason people hesitate to
render just criticism and things
are allowed to creep in that is not
for the best o f society in general.
The Oregonian, however, is in
position to be independent of such
little attacks and can strike out
from the shoulder when it sees fit
to do so. It hands out the follow
ing:
“ The Oregonian gives space to
day to a detailed defense of sew
ing in the public schools, furnish
ed by the high school sewing su
pervisor. It is interesting; but it
has nothing which might not have
been expected from an enthusias
tic supporter of this particular
kind o f instruction as a branch of
school work. W e have no doubt
that the girls are well trained; nor
have we any doubt that the
teachers and supervisors will com
pare well with the professors of
the sewing science in other -cities.
The question The Oregonian has
raised has not been so much a crit
icism o f the quality as th j cost of
the work; and it has been led to
speculate on broader matters of
school policy in undertaking ser
vice o f this kind. We are not
convinced that sewing should be
taught in the schools; we know it
ought to be taught at home.
T he Oregonian’s inquiry as to
sewing salaries is met by our cor
respondent with a recitation o f the
fact that Los Angeles and other
cities pay more. Ah, yes! It is
the old, familiar tactics. Every
effort to pry up salaries in all
branches of the public service in
Portland is supported by numer
ous citations from the payrolls of
Seattle, or Spokane, or Los An
geles, or San Francisco. We never
hear o f the places which pay less
than Portland. But it is always
that Portland is cheap, because it
does not overpay, as some others
do. That appeal has been ding-
donged into the ears of school
directors, and City Commissioners,
and County Commissioners, and
Legislators until public employes
as a rule get far more than work
ers in similar private employment.
I f there is a good reason why a
city or a state or a school district
should pay sewing teachers, for
example, tar more than they could
earn on their merits under in
dividual employers, The Oregon
ian would like to hear it.
The maximum wage for elemen
tary sewing teachers in Portland
is $110 per month; the minimum is
$95 per month. W e have examin
ed the sewing payrolls for Novem
ber and December, and there is
THE LAST MEXICAN OUTRAGE
The killing o f a trainload o f
Americans in Mexico by the beat-
en faction o f Villa’s bandits was
on land very much like the sink
ing o f the Lusitana at sea. The
men should never been sent there
without sufficient guard to protect
them. The United States govern
ment in concert with Brazil, A r
gentine and Chili recognized Car
ranza and withdrew all help and
recognition from Villa, who had
won all Carranza’s victories. That
left Villa in the same situation
that the Southern Confederacy
was in after Appomattox. The
Southern soldiers went to their
homes and began to build up their
broken fortunes. Villa’s soldiers
,
.
.
,
,
broke up into ^ucrillil Oil nets snd
commenced to loot friend and foe
alike. Their atrocities culimnated
in this last murder o f nineteen
Americans. It was a natural con
clusion and is not a surprise to
anyone who knows anything about
Mexican character. There is just
now a sudden great outcry against
President Wilson, and it is just,
this far. President Wilson from
the first has not only known noth
ing o f Mexican character, but has
refused to learn anything.
He
took up a theory that the way to
subdue a Bengal tiger was to feed
him soothing syrup. When Huer-
ta caused the assassination o f the
president o f Mexico, except for
the president’s stubbornness and
his refusal to be'ieve the truth
about the Mexican nature he
would have set the army and navy
in motion proclaiming to the world
and to Mexico that it did not want
one foot o f Mexican soil, but that
it was determined that there
should be order in Mexico and the
safety o f Americans and all for
eigners there should be assured.
It would have been fixed there
two yeais ago and before this
time the natural industries of
Mexico would have been resumed,
our army and navy removed;
there would have been no longer
any fear o f murder and the heart
burnings would long ago have
ceased. The blame o f the pres
ident is that he was determined
to work the business out his own
way and his refusal to accept the
statements o f men who knew
what they were talking about.
He has put his trust in Carranza
who is the least worthy o f belief
o f all the long list o f bandits and
murderers, and liars, who have
one after another come to the
surface there and who has not so
far fulfilled one expectation of
those who enabled him to obtain
control. The hardest thing that
can be said about President W il
son is that he has no natural ap
titude, no training, no experience
to fit him to cope successfully
with assassins and thieves who
have for the time being obtained
places where they can prey upon
their fellow men. We are not at
all certain that the most just and
expeditious way to settle the
troubles o f Mexico would be even
at this late day to take that coun
try, establish order, then call an
election and establish a govern
ment. The mining companies
who sent the officers and men
there to resume work in their
mines, without first taking means
to protect them, merely made
clear that they knew as little
about Mexican character as did
President Wilson himself.
VILLA CAPTURED
The >atest reports are that
Francisco Villa has been captured
and will be returned to Juarez for
execution. His band o f 60 men
were also captured and immed
iately executed.

Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble ‘is, he is on the verge of a
complete nervous breakdown
It
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power.
Mr= Posa
Bonner, 825 N. 18th St., Birming
ham, Ala., says:
"I have been suffering with nerv
ous prostration for nine or ten
years. Have tried many of the best
doctors in Birmingham, but they all
failed to reach my case I would
feel as if I was smothering, finally
I went into convulsions My little
girl saw
advertised in the papers and f at
once began to take It I continued
to take it for some time and now I
am well."
If you are troubled with loss of
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if you are in a
general run down condition and
unable to bear your part of the
daily grind of liftp. you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves
You may not realize what is the mat
ter with you, but that is no reason
why you should delay treatment.
