An interview with Charles Chaplin, published this last week, in which he details some of his matrimonial ex periences, exposes some of the crudest reasoning we have run across in many a day. In the great adventure of ex istence, in the succeeding periods in which, bit by bit. culture has been built up, a thousand years are as vesterday. We realize this when a man of Chaplin's type is taken out of his natural environment and hand ed -wealth, deference and homage. Had he remained a strolling clown his reactions might be considered normal to one of his station and call ing. But, placed on a pedestal as a world's entertainer, he becomes even more funny in his attempts to be tak en seriously than he is in his justly celebrated screen productions. According to the supreme court of Tennessee it is not lawful for a school teacher in that state to say what he thinks. We wonder how much ter ritory this decision covers. Is it to the class room or the school premises only, or does a man in Tennessee who hires out as a school teacher forfeit the rights other citizens have of giv ing expression to a personal opinion? If the teacher is compelled by law to deny the theory of evolution in the class room but is allowed to defend it when he meets his pupils on the street, this business of forcing the transmission of intelligence along stated lines is only half done. Fireworks seem to be the corres pondents' idea of what the legisla ture meets in Salem for.- Fireworks on this, that or the other issue is fre quently prophesied but so far has fallen short in the realization. We suspect that members of both houses. feeling the sobering influence of the necessity of getting the state on a financial foundation, have something else to think of besides pyrotechnics x These one or two days of snow and ice give our reputation as a winter resort a bad jolt, but they serve to stimulate the memories of the old timers and the recollections of three feet of snow and 'steen below zero and ice across the Willamette are brought out and dusted off, ready to go back into the mothballs of ancient history when the warm rains start in again O.

During the past year, according to report made by the Department of Agriculture, there has been a decrease in the farm population of the United States of nearly half a million. The year before that it decreased 182,000. The population of the country as a whole is increasing; that of tho rural districts is decreasing. The definite trend is away from the farm to the city. A cable from Paris tells the same story. The population of the country dis tricts of France continues to flow to the large cities in spite of all efforts Harding. , Frank McEldowney of Hillaboro spent the week end with his parents Mr. and Mrs. T.

A LETTER A DAY I HAVE never known anyone who seemed to have a greater hold on als friends than Brayton old or young. If he ever made a friend he remed to keep hlui. No mutter how far gone a young fellow might be on the road to ruin. If Brayton got after him, his reform seemed certain. "How do you do it 7" 1 asked him once, and he told me. f the government to stem it. Tho general census, just taken, shows a declining population in all rural areas there except those ad actmt to large industrial centers. In America the automobile and the movie have been the two big elements in accelerating this movement from the farm to the city. In olden times entertainment was found in country affairs; now trips to the city are substituted. The automobile, making quick runs to the city after supper for movies and other entertainment possible, has given young people of the farming communities a taste of city life . in its brightest aspect They see the city relaxed. They see it in the role of play-boy. And they like it. The movies, shown in every cross roads village, picture life in the big city aa one of adventure, fine clothes and quick wealth. There is no hay to pitch, no mules to curry and no meadow larks to lis ten to before dawn. However, the dust-filled, sardine can subways and the high cost of liv ing in the city are left out of the pic ture. "The farm is where they wok; the city is where they play." This idea abetted by the aulo and movie has its effect in. leading young on the farms to choose the city whe they grow up. It has played a large part in the trend toward urban life which has been noted in recent years. ry trouble.

We easily forget wlmt Is said. but we can recur Innumerable times to what Is written. Every diiy lia wrote a letter to someone upon whom he wished to exercise a personal In fluence or whose friendship lie wished to cultivate or to strengthen. These letters were always personal lettert written In long hand usually on-the best stationery that Brayton coujd buy. So '.far as . possible they , were written at strategic times when tney were most likely to have the maximum effect. For Instance, Brayton for a long time had been trying to help Corlls in his efforts to break away from the drink habit which had well-nigh ruined him. The boy had given the older man his promise that he would drink no more, but the temptations to break this promise were tremendous. It was on the last day of the year that Brny ton's letter came to him when Invita tions to go out were crowding on him and liquor was beginning to flow like water. He would never have been able to resist the burning desire and insistent urging of his alleged friends had It not been for the courage that the letter from his old friend gave him. Charters lying In a hospital in France with his body shattered and his courage gone got a letter from Brayton at the critical moment and took heart again. "I believe I should have given op entirely." he said afterward, "if it had not been for the friendly word that came Just as It did." It took little time, Brayton admitted, before breakfast, after dinner, or at luncheon time. Five minutes would do It if the materials were at hand, land by this simple means friendships were cemented, faltering courage was revived, ambitions were stimulated, resolutions were strengthened, and 'force was added to precepts which had already been presented in spoken words. It did not matter that many 'of these letters, most of them In fact. iwere never acknowledged, It was his letter a day that helped to make Brayton a vital living Influence. (. ltJ5.
