I KIIiAY, JUNE 12.
Re-elect Mr. Evans.
THE Eugene school boiird has functioned well this
past year, and its work has boon enrrjed forward
harmoniously. John T. Wviuis, one or us nwmm-.i, i
a candidate for re-election as director at the school
election to be held next Monday. It would appear that
the best interests of the district are to be conserved by
his re-elect ion.
Mr. Evans, through his experience, has become
f.i,;i;..iv with Kflmnl district, affairs and is in touch
with business and work of the district in progress but
uncompleted. The advantage ot ms Knowledge oi uiese
things would be lost to the district by flic election of an
other to his present place, ilis displacement also would
have, at least temporarily, an unsettling effect upon the
teaching and executive staffs. .
If there is any offsetting advantage to all this to
be gained by a change, that advantage is not apparent.
And to say all this is by no means to say anything against
Alta King, Mr. Evans' opponent, who is an estimable
ttitizen. . ,
In the Old Kentucky Home.
THE sun shines but darkly in the old Kentucky home.
Weep no more, my lady, for tears cannot do justice to
the situation. A gentleman, suh, a gentleman of Ken
tucky, has been incarcerated, jailed, thrown in the
calaboose, for the very natural assertion of a Kentucky
gentleman's immemorial prerogative.
John W. Langley, representative in congress from
a bluegrass state district, is-the unhappy victim of an
ungrateful system. Because ho had taken a modicum
of co 'on liquoh in the exercise of the aforementioned
inalienable privilego of a Kentucky gentleman, ho was
haled to court like any common malefactor. Because ho
was haled to court, ho cussed out the judge. Because he
cussed out tho judge ho was put in jail. Yes suh, and
he n gentleman and a congressman.
Shado of tho departed mint julep! My old Ken
tucky homo, goodnight!
A proper function of the church, according to Rev.
Ira Lnndrith, of Ohio; former moderator of tho Pres
byterian church, is to provido beau parlors for girls
who live away from home. Tho beau parlor is defined
in Los Angeles, where tho Landrith idea has been
seized upon as something worthy of exploitation, as a
placo where young couples can meet and court in whole--somo
surroundings. Love will find a way, .Uov. Land
rith reminds tho public, . because there is no denying
of nature, and ho thinks it is up to tho church to guide
lovo in tho right way. Such organizations as the Y. W.
C. A, already in many cities maintain niodil'iod beau
parlors, whero girls are permitted to roceivo their
visitors under chaperonage. Rev. Landrith thinks the
chapcrones should not get in tho way.
Twenty years ago, when ho was n superior judge
in Los Angeles, Curtis I). "Wilbur used to have himself
photographed for the papers in tho poso of telling
bear stories to his children. "Wilbur is secretary of the
navy now, and the other day ho tried to manipulate
tho president of the "United States bel'oro a motion
picture camera at Annapolis besido a cheap actor.
Wilbur had no idea in the old days of judicial dignity
and ho has no idea now of presidential dignity. His is
tho Hollywood type of mind. ;
Under Eugene dateline the Christian Science Mon
itor, in its edition of Juno 2, publishes a news story
which contains a most forcible testimonial to tho prac
ticability of tho work being done by the school of
journalism in tho University of Oregon, it gives tho
names of 24 graduates or former students of that school
who aro now holding responsible positions on the staffs
of Oregon newspapers or with large news gathering
agencies. Every Oregonian may well feel proud of the
university school of journalism.
An upstato New York newspaper says Governor
Al Smith will write for tho Xew York World. at a salarv
of $50,000 a year, after his present term expires. It
is an interesting story. Many men have quit journal
ism for polities in order to increase their incomes, but
tho proposition of quitting politics for journalism for
a similar purpose is novel, Most of us $,")0,000 men
are in journalism from other motives, and at other
salaries than thoso prospectively attributed to Governor
Smith.
His friends wero too strong for young Mr. Scopes,
and all the eminent attorneys whose names anv of
them could think of have been put on his staff for the
Tennessee evolution trial. Maybe if things become too
crowded they will let the attorneys into the courtroom
in relays, or else hold the trial out in the yard.
t was a fine, upstanding, husky lot of young men
that Lane county sent away last night to the Oregon
national guard encampment.
COMMENT OF THE PRESS

"Welcome" signs blossomed Ht ever.v

tourist with money to pay his way
know that ho is welcome? As he tour

theory that he is going to say fine
thing nhout t,ny particular commun
ity, because its camp pleases him, Is
scarcely tenable. He has u hundred
such cemmunities to remember. Let's
admit that the venture was a delu
sion, dangerous in some of its aspects,
and get out of it quickly.

Cattlemen, Rheepmen, "soisorbiir

WHY TRY TO PROLONG HUMAN LIFE?
' : " ' " 7
Public Hoalth Scrvico Answers That Each Individual Is
Asset to Society
By CHARLES P. STEWART
(NEA Service Writer)
WASHINGTON, .Tunc 12. The
Public Health Service claims
great credit for medical science, on
account of its success, during the last
two or three decades, in stretching
out the average human life longer
and longer.
Individual humans like to keep on
living, unquestionably. When one of
them pays a doctor to keep him hang
ing on ns long as possible, it assured
ly is the doctor's business to tlo his
best and earn his money. If he does
a good job he's entitled to feel proud
of it.
Hut as a broad general proposition,
what's gained by prolonging the aver
age human life? Ultimately people
din anywny. Whnt difference does it
make, in eternity, to them or to any
body, at what average age they do it?
.",-,
This may sound like n ridiculous
question, but when I put it up to the
Public Health Service it kiuda stump
ed 'em. Finally,-.'' Well," they ans
wered, over the telephone, "a human
being's an asset to society, so :' it
seems to us it follows, the longer lie
lives the more of an asset he is." ;:
There was no use arguing wit Ei so
illogical nn outfit, ro I dropped it. As
we all know, however even young,
husky human beings arc .assets only
where society needs them, ns in not
too thickly populated countries.
And right now economists and bio
logists are worrying about world
overcrowding. In China, nlrcady, it's
a misfortune when n new average
human being is born n misfortuiio to
him and a misfortune to the society
he's born into.
Nobody but politicians and bankers
need work up any enthusiasm over
news that France and Italy have tak
en certain very short little steps to
ward "settlement" of the 0 million
and Rome odd a mere matter of a
couple of hundred millions hardly
counts in such transactions dollars
of war debts they owe ; the United
States.
The very most France ond Italy
will or can do will be to say, "Yes,
we owe this money," and give bonds
for it.
The politicians thereupon will re
port to the country that they've ac
complished something wonderful as
it really will be, to get France and
Italy to go even that for and ask to
be re-elected on the strength of it.'
And the bankers will have the
bonds to unload on the public ot
about 30 millions profit for them
selves. : Rut it isn't likely this generation
of Americans, and perhaps not the
next one, will Ree much of the actual
money even the interest.
"Not worth what it would cost to
keep them afloat." This verdict by
W. R. Mayo, Henry Ford's chief en
gineer, sums up the entire reason why
the government has so much trouble
in finding private owners who will
agree to keep its wnr-built merchont
ships in operation.
Nobody wonts them even as a gift.
And, ns Mayo adds, they're "poor
material" for the very junk man.
