KELTY, Business Manager Offices 1037-1041 Willamette Street The Eugene Guard is a member of the Associated Press. The Associated Press Is excluilrelr entitled to the use for publica tion of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise cred ited to hls naner and also the rights of publication of special THURSDAY, A Few Items Of News. Let us disclaim nt the outset any intention to steal the stuff of Frank Jenkins or Arthur Brisbane, but honestly, with such a first pngo as that of The Guard 'l yesterday staring us in the face wo cannot do Jess l.han write a little about what is in the news. Eugene's bank clearings for 1924 arc the greatest on record. The handsome total is $22,483,880.37. There is money m circulation here. The Southern Pacific lico or city passenger agent here, with r . u. Lewis, favorably know in Eugene, in charge. Our prestige asa railroad center increases. Eugene's building permits for 1924 aggregated $2,732,605. New buildings include 336 dwellings and 25 business structures. It was our greatest building year. A bond issue of $175,000 has been negotiated, the proceeds of which will be used to complete the splendid new Eugene hotel. Work is to bo rushed. There is prospect for the early lessening of seasonal unemployment which has been in evidence in recent weeks, according to Frank ment bureau, and the outlook for the coming year for worKing people is Dngnt. Tho freeze is over, the Amazon once more flows withm its banks. Tho auditorium bonds case goes up to tho supreme court and there will bo delay. That seems to bo the only piece of jagged shell in Wo progress. And it year or possibilities is just The Twentieth A valued reader hands to us a copy of the Fairbury, Neb., News and Gazette, calling attention to an edi torial which it carries in opposition to the federal child labor amendment. Wo quote from the News and Gazette: "In our opinion tho need for or tho merits of a law prohibiting child labor should not enter into con sideration of this amendmont. It is only a question of whether it is advisable for tho states to delegate any more power to the federal government than it has already assumed. Tho state . (Nebraska) already lias excellent laws along tho lino proposed. What pos sible excuse could wo havo for surrendering this power? "When we ratify this amendment we will in sub stanco admit our inability to deal with those matters." Undeniably tho question of tho advisability of ex-t-nding the powers of federal control in the states is a debatable- one. With tho opinion that this question is the only one involved wo do not agree. There is involved also tho highly important question of the pro tection of children in some fow states where" their labor is now commercialized. Thcso fow states havo failed und relused to legislate for children's protection. They can only bo reached through federal action. In various states conditions of child labor differ, but children are the same in all states and all ought to bo entitled to equal or at least adequato protection. e There is no proposal for t.ho surrender by the stales of their own powers of child labor regulation. The 18th amendment has not taken from tlio states the right to enforce- prohibition on their own account. Neither would the proposed 20th amendment tako from the states the right to enforce their own child labor laws . I hero is no question involved of inability of the majority of states to deal with child labor. The pro posal is ono to authorize 'congress to compel tho few backward states to deal with it properly. That is what is contemplated and all that is contemplated un der tho 20th amendment.

Amendment THE PRESS "le's T.'v w'o, ;Vl.7" .V" "'V"- I . ohLi ? h t," ,h'' ro"U 10 ""'uit aim mum HQ linei. We havro'l the slightest doubt but that the railroad cuinianlei would long ago have built their iiiica through central Oregon if there waa even g-inil.le thai the roaila would pay. HecaiMr of Inierntate ronimrn-e luuuuoiou, roads can no h.nger maintain branches through country where they do nut pay by chergini higher rates on some other aud more profitable line. Tho Juurual is urging this measure merely to make itaeif solid with ecu Iral Oregon. If there was a Ulan on foot to make it take its puiicrs to central utegou by airplane aud i tribute them to every farm bouse in that aevtion, the Journal would issue a liowl tliut could be heard to the moon. Vet, if there was a "coinuiis ion" that could coinucl theia to do it, "the simplest wny would be tho eas iest way," and the Journal might as well make up its wind to buy a fleet oi airpiaues aud get busy, Salem plane Sugar Mill (Salem Statesman) There is i urosoect oi the carlj laumhing of a proposition for the building of a sugar mill in Holem. ll la to be presumed that one of the first requirements will be the signing up of the required number of acres of beeta to be grown by the farmers of this section; likely uot less than 5000 acres, ihere are some leading buiil noes concerns in Sulem thai will gladly leud assistance to such an ef fort. Their muuagers realize that this would be one of the greatest things we could jo lor tne benefit of both the funning districts and the city. The fact is, Uiere are two or three prop ositions of tbe kind now on the tapis, We are going to get a sugar factory, if we keep on letting the world know that we want one, aud that we hare the best location in the country for one. The Popular Dictionary (Christian Science Monitor) One feature of the Christmas sea son In America which differentiated it from any previoua one was the Knslish dictionary! iteports from all over the contry, that is, were to the effect that lexicons, copies of Iluget's Thesaurus, and synonym handbooks were bought to an extent that bud never been remotely approached be fore. And, of course, it was all be cause of the cross-word puzzle fad. One prominent book dealer placed the increase in sales at about 1000 per cent. Say what aome people may in a derogatory nrercr concerning this craze, unything that drives too rank and file of ordinary folk to the dic tionary in this way, canutt be wholly bad. Postal Rates and Postal Pay (New York World) If congress is to readjust postal ratea on the basis of cost of handling mails, it should deal with the ques tion solely on its merits. Statements now offered in Washington uro both contusing and contradictory. The better plan would be for con gress promptly to provide tor increas ed pay for postal workers, such as it voted last session to grant them. Then let congress refer the problem of raising postal rates, for revenue purposes, to a competent commission not of politicians but 'qualified ex perts unci disinterested business men. scientific, Impartial investgution would carry weght. . To muke of putsul rates an excuse for holding up longer the l'ostul Em ployes' Salary bill, as the senate has done, is not fair. To pretend that the luestion of higher postal rates can be settled within the next two mouths is to accuse congress of uot intending to examine carefully a complicated issue. lo put off in the existing circumstan ces doing Justice to the potsal work ers is both unreusonuble aud unjust.

Hospital Plan Is Made By Reel Cross WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. OP) we are both doing it together." I said smilingly. "Just try It Lillian make Tom help you," I suggested lightly. After dinner I coaxed Lillian to sing something for us. "Why, Itnrhara I never sing any more. I haven't In years," she de clared. "And Tom! Doesn't he play the piano at all?" I asked, a little' sur prised. "You use to piny nnd sing so beautifully together." I ventured. "What was that old English street ballad with the deep, wonderful notes In it that I loved to hear you aing. Lillian?" Tom went over to the piano and sitting down struck a few cords, and then ran his fingers lovingly across the keys. 'That's it. Tom. 'I once loved a boy,' " J half hummed the words over softly as Tom picked out the deep, vibrating 'chords. "Please- Lillian?" I entreated. She went over and stood by Tom's stde. At first her voice trembled a little snd then as she sang on and the old love of music rushed back Into her heart, she forgot herself and sang the beautiful wonls through to the end With deepest feeling. 'That a splendid Lillian. I never knew you could sing like that," Kent cried enthusiastically as the song was ended. Lillian turned with flushed cheeks and pleasure glowing iu h-r tired eyes.

TODAY (Continued from page one) properties going up like that are really too good for Uncle San to keep. On New Year's eve tbe old liberty bell in Independence hall, Philadel phia, rang 148 times, once for each year in the life of this nation. And the rsdio carried the sound of the bell all over the land, nnd across theJ water. That would interest intensely two men that signed tho declaration, Jefferson and Franklin, both inter ested in acience. Both had genius, but neither could have imagined the radio, except aa a random guess. Even genius cannot think very far ahead if its own period. e Scientists by modern methods prove that the earth's solid crust is at least sixteen hundred million years old. That adds considerably to the old idea of a world created six thousand years sgo. Feeble human imagination cannot grasp such a period as 1,000, 000,000 years. Only '12,000 years ago, we were in tbe (tone age. But the earth's great ago encourages us to believe that this planet and human beings on.it will exist for several hun dred millions of years more, at least, as science predicts. A great deal can be done in that time. Even one million years should show consider able improvement, when you consider what men have accomplished in 12,- 000 years. It appears that four gentlemen havo been representing the Philippine government in the United States, with an expense account. It also appears that, by a gentlemen's agreement evi dently, each one of them charge ex actly nine hundred dollars every month for clothiug. This teaches not only that Filipinos are hard on their clothes, but also, thst they have not mixed with American politicians for nothing, sod sro about ready to gov ern themselves. Trinity university in North Caro Una has changed its name to Duke university, thereby acquiring many millions, generously given by James II. Duke. The university gets six millious at ouce, for buildings, and ultimately will have as endowment the iucome from twenty-five millions more. "Whet's in a name?" is answered by Mr. Duke, effectively. That uni versity by any other name, would not have received ?;tt,IXK,tKK. Who can estiiunte tho (mure value ot such gifts to education. What a blessing that men now give vast fortunes to help others, instead of spending the money as of old In an effort to buy special livinc favors for their own unimportant souls. J. P.
