The generally accepted definition of patriotism for citizens of tho United States lins come to bo that of an active participation in tho national defense in time of war and full support of military preparedness in time of peace. Tho definition, in tho view of Fred B. Smith, internationally known speaker who addressed, tho cham ber of commerce yesterday, is much too narrow and in his view it is erroneous besides. Tho best patriot and tho truo one, Mr. Smith be lieves, is ho who supports the constitution of his coun try to tho full at all times. Our greatest menace, ho thinks, is tho man who abides only by thoso portions of the constitution that it is convenient ior him to abide by and flaunts the rest of it openly or secretly. The history of tho centuries has shown, ho declares, that national permanence cannot bo founded upon military greatness, economio efficiency, the accumulation of wealth, nor upon all threo of them. Ho thinks it can be founded upon right doing of tho sort that finds its best expression in observance by tho peoplo of a nation of its laws. Disregard of law in the United States is a very grave tendency indeed, Mr. Smith declared, and told how he personally had heard President Coolidgo only quite recently express his gravo concern regarding it. The terrifio proportions to which our annual record of murders has attained by comparison with tho records of other progressive nations w(s cited, as was disre gard in this country of the prohibition amendment and law. No man who violates its laws is worthy of citizen ship in the United States, in tho view of Mr. Smith, and his steady adherence to its constitution and laws is of more importance than tho nationality of any citizen's ancestors. Only those citizens who.are upholding the constitution fully are helping to build for tho nation's permanency, in his view, and only they are truo patriots. it an gives the average listener a new view ot some questions on which tho general thinking has been wont to follow a beaten track. County Agent To Help Lane Farmers. Results vastly helpful to the farmers of Lane county may bo expected to come out of the rc-cstablishmcut of a county agricultural agent with headquarters here. That tho farmers are interested in tho event is shown by the sheafs of letters that are already coming into the agent's office, with inquiries for information 'pertain ing to the work. . The chief valuo of tho work of a county agent lies in tho fact that it is a work of demonstration. The farmers aro taught liow to improve methods and seeds and soils and stocks of all kinds by practical experimen tation before their eyes. One may bo merely told of a way to improve some ono or more of .his methods with out much enthusiasm being aroused, but when the im provement is carried out before his eyes and its value made- apparent beyond a doubt, then there is pretty certain to bo response and adoption of t ho innovation. That is the kind of thing that the county agent does. The county agent's work is made possible through co-operation by the federal department of agriculture, Oregon Agricultural college and Lane county. What ever innovations it offers aro tho products of tho best thought of tho two agencies first named. 0. S. Fletcher is Lane county's new agent. It will bo worth tho while of fanners generally to place themselves in touch with his operations, and doubtless they will do so. Governor Pierce is said to have assurance of the snpport of enough senators to prevent the taking of the power of appointment of gamo commissioners out of his hands. Now let's see what tho governor will do about I. N. Fleischner, whoso term as a member of tho com mission is about to expire and who has a record of high efficiency and devoted service. purty, and hud the aiiui and the do teruiuiation lo lead it out uf the uiurass In which fur the moment it suewed to be engulfed is a mutter coucerninif which puliticul wiseacres differ, Jiuuugli to nay that a great independent following flocked to the president, that at present it shows every wgu of adhering to his sup port, and that the plea of the Massa chusetts senator for such a policy as hall tie this independent following permanently to the party is both wise and patriotic. In a speech which was refreshingly free from high-sounding generulties, Senator Duller did not tail to eipress explicitly his convictions as to the policies upon which his party should invite support. .Perhaps no paragraphs were inure full of vital siguiticance thau these : The country today culls for a leadership practical in its mani festations, but idealistic in its ambitions. Wo cannot ignore this, even If we would. S'e must recognize that while our porty is not relieved of any of its obligations to persist in its demand for the reduction of na tional expenditures and the devel opment of efficiency in govern ment, it must be ready to forward and sustain with equal enthusi asm sound humanitarian move- -ments for the betterment of all the people in the country. The demand for the outlawry of war is not only country-wide, but world-wide. It is Just, qnd to the accomplishment of that ideal we should bring ull our ability end resolution. Never has it been more necessary for the statesman to maintain tbe nice balance between the practical and the Ideal than toduy. Wo like to de scribe tbe American peoplo as ideal ists, and in tho best sense of the word they nro. Hut their idealism is wisely tempered by common sense. If their heads be in the heavens, tbeir feet are on solid earth. Tbe concrete mor al issue, for example, of the outlawry of war which (Senator ilutler cites is u striking instance of tbe combina tion of the ideal with the practical. It is u forward step In civ.lization de manded by every great progressive force in the world. If initiated by the United States, it will be hailed ull over Kurope us the briitht promise of that relief from the burden of arma ments and the ever-present dread of war which more tbuu any single fac tor delays the restoration of Kuro- pean prosperity. Attended by its essential instru ment, the world court, the outlawry of war will do uiore to stabilize world conditions than any of the numerous international propositions now under public discussion. It is an encouraging and stimulating thing to find a man of Senator Hutler's standing and in fluence thus openly committed to its ndvocacy. That was at once true Idoalism and practical politics. It will go far to tie tbe independent vote to the Jtepublkan party. Shux, the World Didn't Come to an End, After All!

HUNT SKA Service Wtitec yyASUKNUTtiN, Feb. 0. The na tional capital just now is the scene of a contest between material ists and idealists that, in greater or less degree may soon be reflected in every sizable city in the Country. In this battle. Beauty has been be-. set by Utility. If Utility wins. Beauty will have been vanquished. The as sault is made, like that of the Oer muns in 1014, in the name of "Prog ress. '"Progress" in this year 102-, seems to consist chiefly in the forward movement of "Traffic." A city's pro grcssivisin is no longer marked by the spiritual or artistic ideals of its citizens. The only test that seems to count in determining whether a given city is "awake" is tbe question of how it handles its "Traffic." Ko it is that the materialists in Washington propose in ull serious nestj the spoliation' of the capital's magnificent park system. ParkH that impede traffic, they say. are a barrier to progress. Therefore abolish the park! That this proposal should be made in Wash ngton, where traffic is of leas industrial importance than in any other city of its size in tbe coun try, but where, as a dressing for the national capital, tbe parks are of su preme importance, is an index of how seriously the traffic bug has iunocu lated the country. Washington has little traffic that needs to burry. It isn't a big city. It has no vast volume of merchandise to move. It has no big industries. All, tht would be necessary to solve the traffic problem in Washing ton would be for the hordes of gov ernment employes who now all try to drive into the downtown section at 9 a. in. sharp, to get up 15 minutes sooner. It is only at opeuing and closing of governmental business hours that there is any congestion. Immediately facing the White House grounds is Lafayette Park. Be yond the park, in line with the pillars of tbe White House portico, begins Sixteenth street, a favorable automo bile thoroughfare. "Why let that park block traffic?" ask the materialists. "It must make way for the auto. Kxtend Sixteenth street straight through to Pennsyl vania avenue and 5 per cent more cars .can move down th:t street alone!" Against th's proposed vandalism of I ha capital's beauty, to clear a way for the Arts commission, tbe City Planning commission and organized civic associations have so far been j able to bold their ground. But the drive of the forces fight ing for freer and fuster traffic is increasing rather than diminishing. If Utility defeats Beauty in this battle in Washington, the same result may be expected eluewhere. For here city beauty has bad its stronghold. In this case bp was n man who seized the occasion to point out that "it i-i ; well-known fact that not ono wom an ib a huudred has red hair." In New York X1 A Meaa Man. (Buffalo K no, Hirer ) Out in San Frnneico a jinlge no ticed that "nt one w-oman in a hundred who came before him in di voree court bad red hair." Tbe judge, therefore, jumped to tbe conclusion that "red-haired worn en make better wies than blonde and brunettes." He miirbt of course have rciHoned that red-liaired wmeu catch the best husbands, but his niiuj did nt work that way. But there are always killjoy a Suit, By JAMES W. l'KAN KW VORK. Feb. 0.
