THURSDAY, JANUARY 15.
Progress Toward Farm Relief.
President Coolidge is determined, apparently, that
congress shall do something for the farmers and do it
now. He is doing his best to carry out his own very
- definite and certain pre-election pledge. That the pres
ent congress will be able to fulfill the hopes of the pres
ident to this end is doubtful, but it may. The congress
ends March 4. The time is getting short.
The president gave out a statement early this week
saying that -ho expected the present congress to act for
farm relief. He followed this by summoning his agri
cultural commission to a breakfast-tablo conference.
And a few hours later the commission mado public its
plan for relief for the cattle industry, which seemed to
bo regarded in some quarters as the branch of out-door
industry most greatly in need of help. The plan, the
dispatches tell us, contemplates "assistance for the lhe
I stock industry through existing financial agencies, and
a new land policy to permit grazing on unappropriated
public- domain," with promise of a supplementary re
port to deal with possible revision of transportation
chargeB and a protective tariff.
An interesting statement affecting agriculture gen
erally was appended to the commission's report. It said
that the commission wished to emphasize now 'that the
"welfare of agriculture also demands an early and
thorough revision of the freight rate structure." That
.is one of the . things . that farmers generally have been
saying ' that ' agriculture needs. Now the agricultural
commission, ; after deliberation on the question, seems
I to indorse the farmers' view. Next it will be necessary
i to bring, congress and the interestato commission to the
,way of thinking of the fanners and the agricultural
commission. And then, of course, the railroads will have
eome things to say.
Legislative relief for the farmers appears to bo on
the. way to accomplishment.
The Work Of Herriot.
The average tenuro in offico of a premier of France
is ten months. This average goes back over a period of
the past 35 years. Edouard Herriot, the present premier,
has served now for six months. There ava been fre
quent predictions of the fall of his ministry, beginning
almost from the day when ho took office. Just now they
are being renewed. So far ho ha.s weathered the storm.
Considering the things he has done it is remarkable that
he is still in office. '
In his handling of foreign affairs Herriot has ex
hibited a wisdom and a breadth of view such as woro
by no means apparent in French officialdom between
the close of the world war and his own accession. He
went into office at a time when Franco stood committed
to n policy of staying in tho lluhr. That policy; further
more, not only expressed tho viewpoint of official Franco,
but had the backing of a powerful majority of public
sentiment. Franco was convinced that her physical
safety and her economic restoration as well depended
upon her staying in tho Ruhr and 'keeping Germany
out of it.
So when Herriot, broader of vision than his country,
agreed to evacuation of tho Ruhr in order to make suc
cess of tho Dawes plan practicable, ho had to face hostile
criticism at home. Ho did it successfully and parliament
sustained him. Tho Ruhr is now being evacuated. In
'a few months the process will have been completed.
That was one big accomplishment of Herriot for
tho stabilization of Franco and of Europe. There are
others. He has so guided his course that tho relations
of his government with thoso of other allied nations
havo been very greatly improved sineo ho took office.
Thero was room for improvement, particularly in
France's relations with Great Britain.
: No premier of Franco ever was faced with more
critical foreign problems or in greater number than
Premier Herriot. Ho has handled them all with dex
terity and for tho most part wisoly. His position is still
none too strong. Tho French, as has been noted, change
their premiers pretty frequently. They may retire
Herriot soon or at any time. But his accomplishments
will stand, and they are more than considerable.
Great stuff, this talk of party responsibility. Over
in tho state of Washington, where the primary system
has a convention annex, tho republican party platform
lassummer carried an unqualified pledgo for ratifica
tion by tho legislature of tho federal child labor amend
ment. But Governor Hartley, elected on that platform,
denounces the measure in his inaugural address nnd the
legislature shows an unmistakablo intention to reject it.
Senator Bruce Dennis proposes that the stato nor
mal school bo given increased support by diverting to
it funds now going to the stato university and the
college. Et tu, Bruce 1

COMMENT OF THE PRESS
The Governor'! Way.
(Medford MaiJ-Tribune)
Governor Pierce's tint two years
have been very successful. We have
tbe governor's word for It.
Ticl bare been reduced by f-,-
I'm, Jo fact, would be a perfect land
of milk and ioney if there were not
so niauy rich and unscrupulous liars
iu the Mate.
Tho rich and unscrupulous liars, it
seems, were responsible lor Uie in
come (hi repeal. They were also re
sponsible for the defeat of the oleo
bill. They are responsible for every
thing our governor doesn't like.
Thoussnds of farmers In this stste
favored the Income tax repeal and
also endorsed the oleo bill. The first
won, the second lost. It seems some
what childish to ascribe both results
to the misrepresentations of nefar
ious wealth.
There is every reason to believe
the people knew wiat they were vot
ing about on theae two questions nt
least. They weren't bribed, it would
have been better sportsiuaosblp and
fsr better sense for Governor Tierce
to accept the result gracefully, and
conclude that the people of the state
want milk mixed with vegetable oils
and don't want more than one inooino
tux.
That, however, is not tbe gover
nor's way. lie is a good hater and a
poor loser. All of his friends are an
gels and all bis opponents crooks. By
forgetting nothing and forgiving noth
ing, Governor Pierce iiks prepared the
way for a continuous struggle with
tbe legislature be lays be wishes to
work in friendly co-operation with.
The Normal School Problem.
(Pendleton East Oregoniun)
According to' reports the normal
school subject will be up for con
sideration at the setoin or tue legis
lature opening today. The proper solu
tion of that subject would seem to
consist for tbe present in full de
velopment of the possibilities at the
state normal school at Mouinoutn.
Wiien that school has reached its
capacity, which will be measured by
the number of grade pupils, for prac
tice teaching, available at Monmouth
and the towns Immediately adjoin!;
it will then be necessary to establish
new schools. It is generally held thut
one should be established in enstern
Oregon and one in southern Oregon.
To establish such new Institutions
will require a vote of the people. It
cannot be done by the legislature and
it is doubtful if tbe present time is
favorable for such a vote.
Meanwhile the normal at Mon
mouth Is notoriously underfinanced
and unable to render the full service
it should provide. This is a mistuke.
If we are to have proper touchers
and attract tn that profession the
high grade of talent needed we cannot
neglect normal instruction. We must
emphasise it and give it the dignity it
deserves.
Stunted Children.
(Oregon Journal)
Reports from Snlcm are that rsti
fioatiou of the child labor amendment
will bo opposed.
It is true tliat Oregon needs no
child labor amendment. Oregon pro
tects ber children. If all states were
like Oregon there would be no need
to grant congress authority to regu
late child labor.
But what of those states that will
not protect their children? Tbe cheap
labor of children is utilized in their
woolen factories. Most Oregon wool
en factories, employing mature .labor
nt high coBt, compete with the cheap
output of woolen factories in those
Btatcs, And how about the products
of other industries in those states
produced by cheap child labor, ngaliiHt
which Oregon industries wilt have to
compete? If that kind of competition
continues, how long will 'it be until
there will bo n demand for use of
child labor In Oregon?
Tluit Is tlx business side of the
Issue. Them Is a higher considera
tion. Every child in tbe United States
is entitled tn a fair start. Tho coun
try believes that, or it wouldn't main
tain free schools with an open road
to every school house.
Even with n fair start In tho way
of school training, life is hard
enough for the millions. Cnn Oregon
afford to go on record for stunted
child bodies and stunted child minds
ss is true with some of tbe states
of New England and the south?
Wjint about stunted children n
stunted cilixens later on?

WH INSPECT THE LITTLE COT
TAGE Chapter -
'So It was decided that on Wednes
day Kent and I would take the host
part of the day and run up tn Con
necticut to Inspect the little cottage.
I had a long talk with Nancy and
gavo her explicit directions about wee
Kent. I planned Just what she should
give him for lunch.
"If It's a nice day, Nnnoy, you can
tnke him out for a walk as soon as
ho finishes his nnp but remember,
don't stn.v out nny longer than 3
o'clock. After that the sun is not
warm enough and the late afternoons
are too raw," I wnrned her.
Then just before we rushed for the
train, I took Kent Jr. on my knee
ami talked to him. I told him where
Kent and I were going, and how he
must be a good boy for Nancy. I
promised that we would hurry right
homo to him and told him to be sure
and watch for us at tho window.
He was so adorable and listened
to me as enrnestly as if he had been
at leasf 40 years old. I hugged his
little, firm, cVinoky body up to my
heart for a minute, and then set him
down reluctantly on the finer, for
Kent wna colling to tnc to hurry or
we would miss the train.
At the door Kent Jr. stood with
his little chubby hands grasping the
edges of his father's tinuser legs.' I
just hnted to leave him. He was
only about as high as Kent's knee and
I wondered hlw long It would take
for him to grow all that great, long
six feet of distance between them.
That distance nieatit years of re
sponsibility. I did not want to run
away from my precious obtigntion but
I prayed that I might be entirely
worthy of it.
1 knew that Kent felt ss I did
about the boy. It was as though we
i had both been shown the mark and
I then given a chance to measure up
to it. We were both thrilled at tbe
! glory of our blessed responsibility and
yet, at tbe same time, almost doubt
I ful and awe-struck at the tretneud
I oneness of It.
I And so tbe boy had bound us to
gether, making a triumvirate of our
love and bringing the purity of his
young life into ours.
Kent leaned over and swung the
boy up for a minute in his strong
arms. The baby hands clung fondly
to his father's neck, and it wns my
turn to worn Kent that wo must
hurry. ,
Wo waved to him at the window
and all tho way out on the train my
thought would go back to the mem
ory picture of his dear, golden head
pressed against the pane.
It was the first time I hod ever
left Kent Jr. since l.o was born and
my thoughts were hardly separated
from him for a minute.
Before noon wo reached the little
cottage and both Kent and 1 found
It charming. It seemed almost to
have been made to order for us.
Everything about it wss just right!
The grounds were not too large, ut
just big enough for plenty of flowers
nd vegetables out in the backyard.
And there was a wonderful old ap.
pie tree growing hy the side of the
broad pinxzn.
The living room had a huge, hrick
fire place in. Kent and I stood for
a minute in front of it with our fin
gers touching ami mado a mental
picture of a roaring, wood fire and
hat it would mean to three happy
people.
"Well, do you want It?" Kent fin.
ally asked, after wo had been over
every men or it again and again from
cellar to garret.
"Oh yes. Kent it's Just wonder
ful!" I exclaimed, and a warm. Imp.
py glow in my heart made me wish
that the local agent who had met us
at the station might be thoughtful
enough to leave Kent and me alone
lor lew minutes.
Then the next second 1 think.
I ing of Kent Jr. and urging Kent to
1 hurry back to him. It seemed as If
J we had been gone from him for just
! ages. The, old foolish fear of mm,.
, thing happening to him ruihed ovrr
me again.
