MONDAY, Community Till) sign "No peddlers or agents wanted" has be come fairly familiar on gateways or doorsteps here. and there, .in towns anrl eilies in recent years,- uut an item is going the rounds of the press just now about a town in which the idea is carried further. Signs on some of its doorsteps, carry the familiar legend, with this addi tion: "Our homo merchants carry full lines at fair prices. AVo patronize thorn." The sentiment, if not the method, is one worthy to bo spread. It is the sort of sentiment that builds communities and cities. Co-operation is the very foundation stono of com munity growth. The- man who thinks he can make his own business grow and increase, year by ycr without regard to community progress is a badly mistaken indi vidual. As and only as prospers so will his business a standpoint purely seiiisii, tnoreiore, h is to ins inter est to give time and thought and effort to community co-operation. The best possible way tion is to make every purchase of every kind on every occasion of a homo establishment, and to patronize home establishments for every service ot every kind. The dollar that is earned in Eugene but spent else where does not holo to build Eugene. The door-to- door agent carricB away whatever is paid him. It does not come back. The dollars sent away with the mail order blanks in the catalogues now flooding Oregon cities are sent away to stay. Such spending docs not build payrolls here, nor population nor general progress. It directly retards these things. And so community co-oporation in spending is not alone the part of good ethics, but the part also of sound business policy, trom however selfish a viewpoint one njay regard it. The League of Nations. . ' THE council of the league of nations has just concluded .. what is said to havo been its most important ses sion. Two principal actions by that council at this session appear. It scrapped the protocol of arbitration and socurity. It invited Germany to come into the league on an equality with other nations. The action first named will disappoint tho world. The other is distinctly hopeful. An Associated Tress dispatch says that several members of tho council, whose names were not given, declared that tho real reason why the protocol in its present form was lost was that, apart from defects due to hasty preparation, it embodied ideas too far ad vanced for tho present "era. Tho proposal for settle ment through arbitration instead of war of international disputes was too fine a thing for tho present-day world, they thought. Said ono of these un-named council representatives: "Christianity did not become a prac ticed religion until three centuries ufter Christ. . The protocol represents what we should do in tho world settle oil conflicts by arbitration. But (tho world is not ready to ngreo to that yet." . Britain was the lender in this line of reasoning tho question. Her attitude-. was plainly forecast in her recent handling of the Egyptian crisis. She not only did not' turn to the league in that crisis, but she let it bo known unmistakably that she would not permit leaguo intervention. Although she had previously de clared Egypt a national entity, sho held the questions involved in this crisis to be of domestic concern to her self only, and suppressed the protests against British authority with an iron hand. By declaring in effect thnt tho. world is not yet ready for universal arbitration, tho council of tho leagtto has indorsed the British view. It is not intended hero to say that view is in correct. But if it is correct, the fact is not tho less to be regretted on thnt account. The British view of tho question in its larger as pects is by no means a London or an English view wholly. The far-removed stales of tho British empire are much more to bo reckoned with by the home gov ernment than formerly. And in Canada and Australia and India there has become manifest much sentiment of a picco with that sentiment in the United States which is against entanglements with European affairs. Tho homo government has taken cognizance of it. With abandonment of the protocol there goes also into tho discard whatever hope thero had been for the holding under league auspices of it new conference on limitation of armaments this summer. Our own govern ment has been quick to recognize this fact, and already President Ooolitlge has set under way preliminary in quiries looking to the holding, of a second Washington conference, to extend ami amplify the work of the initial conference held there, at which limitation of capital naval vessels was accomplished. It is likely thero will bo response. The invitation to Germany is described in tho dis patches as the first recognition since tho great war of that nation on equal terms with oilier nations of Eu rope. It is time. Without Germany there can he no effective arrangement for permanent peaeo in Europe.

While these men have done the main work, their efforts would nat urally have failed unless tho larger group bnt dug down into their bank accounts and savings aud salaries to finance the hotel. Each of the stock holders bus as vitiil an interest in the success of the hotel as have the di rectors, and they should manifest and demonstrate tius interest. Col. Mitchell Once Mora (New York World) The replacement of llrig. Uen. Mit chell as assistant chief of the Army Air service was entirely consistent with tho administration's policy. Ucn. Mitchell wants a unified air depart ment under a sub-secretary. Ho has mado this clear in many vigorous ways. The president through his quiet medium of "the White House spokes man" has made it equully clear that he is opposed to the Mitchell plan. Obviously, therefore, Uen. Mitchell had lost his usefulness us an army air administrator, particularly since the verbal passages between him and his superiors have become harsh aud personal. So he is to be restored to his regular Colonelcy (the brigadied Generalshlp is merely assignment, or brevet, rank), with an air field of his own to command, and another good Man will succeed him presumably a man who is sympathetic with the administration view. There was nothing else for the de part ment to do. And Gen. Mitchell lias the satisfaction of knowing that he has provided food for public de bate and d.scussion and possibly ac tion during tho next few months. Howell's Comment By CHESTER H.

For those who have fallen under the spell of tho capitul atmosphere, it is more desirable to remain in Washington, out of office, inconspic uous entities In a conspicuous place, then it Is to return to their own old haunts, where they would be big men but In conspicuous communities. The hold that Washington life gets on public men is again evidenced by the announcement that of four Uni ted States senators who stepped out of office March 4, three will remain in the capital "to practice law." 'lhe fourth is yet uucerta.n. There ore hints that as an administration "luine duck," who lost out in his pri mary fight last spring, he may still be taken care of by a federal job.

South Carolina. Dial recently won republican fa vor by a speech to praise of Presi dent Cooiidge, terming him a better democrat than many democrats sen' ators. , Appointment by the president to a democratic membership on one of the federal bi-partisan boards or com missions has been suggested as a pos sibility for Dial. The republican lame duck whose future is still uncertain is ex-Senator Thomas Sterling of South Da kota. Sterling was beaten for renomina tion in the primaries last spring. He has been a staunch champion of Cooiidge policies in the recent ses sion, however, and his friends insist he will "be taken care of." He. has been mentioned as possible prohibition commissioner, but seem ingly is not enthusiastic over that suggestion. It's as hard to live up to a good name as it is to a good reputation.
