Amundsen and MacMillan. AMUNDSEN'S effort was a failure. Ho did rench llin north pole in his nirplnnc flight. discovered nothing new .about the Arctic. He lost,orte of his specially equipperUnml expensive pianos, lie did make a gallant effort and a safe return with his five companions. Aside from this his ono accomp lishment on the trip was to confirm, by soundings taken at tho point of his nearest approach to the polCj the discovery of Peary that there is deep water there. Just wherein the Norwegian government and tho Seidt aeronautical association find ground for congrat ulating Amundsen upon his "brilliant" and "wonder ful" acliiovomont is not very clear. It is to be doubted that Amundsen himself feels that tho issue of his ad venture was either brilliant or wonderful. Amundsen's fame in history will rest upon his discovery of tho south pola and upon his accomplishment of the north west passage early in the present century, rather than upon his Arctio airplano expedition just concluded. Tho outsot of the MacMillan expedition augurs a bettor result than that which occurred to Amundsen. MacMillan takes with him into tho Arctic two base and Btipp'y ships. He takes three pianos, but they are earned on board his steamer, the Peary, and his flights from that vessel will be of three days duration or less. Independent or long sustained expeditions by airplane will not bo attomptcd. There will be plenty of gasoline in reserve tanks aboard the Peary. She will carry ob servation balloons and a supply of hydrogen gas with which to send them up. She is amply provisioned and supplied in every way. Under such conditions it is oltogothor likely that MacMillan will be ablo to aohieve results In discovery and observation, and per haps learn some things about the vast polar wastes that will bo new. But even though MaoMillan shall learn about them all there is to know, it is altogether unlikely that wo shall evor be able to make practical use of tho polar vastes. If land bo found, nobody can inhabit it, unless thoro shall ocour In the future some such change as scientists sny has ooourrod in the remote past, whereby tho oarth's position in its orbit shall bo changed, with consequent alteration of our equator and the funda mental climatio changes on the globe which such a thing would entail. That would bo interesting, but even if it should occur it is to be feared our civilization and government would not survive to claim the lands which a benignant fran might bring to a changed Arctic The Tale of a Rose. not He IT was in refurnished adobo soil, with a littlo fertilizer", that it was planted last fall. It wasn't an impressive lootirg plant, being rather undersized and spare. And tie freeze of the early winter set it back heavily. But it v&s a hardy rosebush, after all, and this spring it ftarted growing early, showing that fall planting tad given it root, if nothing else. It was pruned at tho right time, so that it did not sprawl nor Bcatter its strength. Presently it put forth shoots of red. From these, leaves opened out which wero beautifully formed and becamo gradually green with tintod edges. Tho leaves were of waxen surface, as is tho habit of tho hybrid tens. It was a spring marked by much cloudy weather, and green aphis bothered, but tho person who watched the rosebush and others near it daily brushed tho nphis away. A bud formed on tho rosobnsh. At the ginning it showed itself no ordinary rosebud, but nn aristocrat of the garden. It was, whilo yet in its closely rolled state, twico tho size of tho others near it, both as to longth and circumference, and it extended straight upward irom ine lop ot its stem, as though reaching for an ino sunsiuno available. The bud was not pointed and pinched at tho tip, but appeared as if rolled and cut squarely otf at the end. Then it bloomed. Throughout one day it was in the half-blown stage. Its outer petals, a good two inohes long, were light buff on their oxposed surface. Insido them, in whero t.ho sunlie-ht hn.l linf. i .mint ( ..I the shades graduated from light through brilliant to deep golden yellow. Next day it was fully opened. It rounded, satiny petals wero rolled back at tho edges Its golden heart was fully revealed. It was a thing of tints and changes in variety indescribablea perfect Joseph Hill rose. f ' i the members of the -fish commission exceeded their authority iu making a contract that bound their successor', but the courts will probably have to pass upon the point, just as they will upon the legality of the appointment of state senstora upon tho commis sion in defiance of the constitutional inhibition. With Mr. Mitchell out, the way Is clear for carrying out the governor's plan to make political spoils out of the department, failure to carry out which cost Dr. Hoss his Job as commissioner. SCIENTISTS LOOKING WRONG WAY Man Has Not Yet Attained "Misslna Link" Stage, Thinks Gov ernment Research Man Suminor is hero and with it tho season for music out of doors. Last summer tho Odd Fellows band gave a series of concerts that proved to be immensely poiv nlar. Last evening in the county park this sanio fine organization gave an opening concert for this season A fund for a series of these concerts has been raised in part, but not adequately. Soon an effort is to be made to enlarge Ihe fund to a point w.hieh will insure a full series of bund concerts for (1,0 Kugene public for this summer. It is a worthy enterprise, and one that it would be worth while to carry through successfully. So Fall is lily white 'and the Teapot lome l,,,.1Jlp is all regular!

(Corvallia Gazette-Times) They hold a school budgut meeting In Salem tho other day to pass on a $047,000 levy. Kxactly one taxpayer turned out in addition to part of the school board. Salem taxpayers are like the rest of, them too busy or too indifferent to pay any attention to the important end of the fax paying busi ness. After they get their notices of how much is due, they- pay plenty of attention and kick like bay Won, but they con t kick the right party. They should hire some good man with a number 12 boot to kick themselves. Tho same however will happen again noxt year. Then some smooth four-flusher will coino along and tell them how high their taxes are and if they would only elect him governor ho will cut them in two. It Bounds fine. They forget that if a gov ernor could abolish state taxes en tirely, he could save only $0 on every hundred paid in the average county. So, they will go right ahead letting $017,000 levies bo decided by ono man mid letting some other man, come along a year later and get elected to office on n platform of tax reduction. Truth In Print. (Metlforrt Mail-Tribune) Whnt do peoplo want most in the newspapers? This question is asked by Kent Cooper, general manager of tho Associated Tress, in a current magazine article. He answers the question himself, "Truth" la what they want, he says. Ho adds that they aro getting It. And ho ought to know. The average- newspaper editor knows, with Mr, Cooper, that what ever elHO there may be in the pa per, In the way of features or what not, "straight, unprejudiced news re ports arc still the journalist's Iipbc selling commodity." So the newspa per strives for truthful reporting above everything else. "Facts aro stranger than fiction" continues Mr. Cooper, "and conse quently more Interesting. 1 do not think the a vol ago reader quite realiz es how deeply the instinct to get and print unvarnished truth ts instilled Into tho hearts of present -day news paper men. If ho did, he would fully share my confidence in the rork -bottom soundness of American journal ism." Elk Lake and Fish Eggs.

Man has not yet attained the "miss ing link" stage! Ho will reach It only when his ac tions are governed by reason instead of emotion. Then, and not until then, he will start 'breeding out his monkey char acteristics. These are the conclusions of Dr. William Jasper Sptllman of the Na tional Academy of Sciences and U. U. Department of Agriculture. Ho explains and tells the possi ble future of the humun race as fol lows: "Man emerged from the Irrational animal stage- when he started using stones and clubs just as he found them. This was his first step. "About 4,000,000 yearB later he took his second step chipped an edgo on a stone and used it for a tool. Boy an to Make Tools 'It was 500,000 years before he took his third step. Then he diversi fied his 'band stone' and shaped it into at least five different tools. Sometime during this period, which lasted about 100,000 years, he discov ered how to make fire. "Then came the fourth step, which started some 20,000 years ago and ended about 15,000 years later. "During this period Mnn mado ono of his greatest advnnccs. He learned to make polish! stono and Vhen bronze Implements, developed pottery, Invented the bow and arrow, domesti cated all the animals, which could be domesticated except the horse, nnd most Important of all, learned to grow plants from seeds. Untruths Kapt A live "This advance was stopped with tho invent inu of picture writing, which enabled Man to put down and per petuato untruths and thus prevented him from making any progress In the direction of truth. "Ho learned much about navigation William Jasper Snlflman lod of the four greatest discoveries in the history of the world "Columbus' discovery that the earth ia round. "Copernicus -discovery that the sun, not tho earth, Is the center of tho solar system. "Discovory by geologists that the oarth is old not just a few thousand years, as was formerly believed, but many hundred billion yenrs. "And Darwln'a discovery thst Man is a part of Nature not a different being. Ona Mors to Take "The Advance by Sinn which start ed at this period continued until the World War "Now I believe, we are again at a standstill. Our handicap Is thnt we are controlled almost entirely by our pnssions and emotions and we prob ably wont advance again until we -Trill be the half-wsy mark In our de velopment. We will then order every thing from government to race prop agation along scientific lines and we will breed out our monkey character istics just as wa now breed out un desirable chsracleriatics in blooded cattle. "In this age of reason there will do no nntious as we now know them -only divisions of the world for local administration. Governments will be necessary in these divisions only to levy taxes for education and public improvements. Universal Tonnus predloted "There will be one world langusge, entirely phonetic. Its alphabet based on basic sounds, its words having broad meanings? shaded : by prefixes and suffixes, and no exceptions In its grammsr so simple that every child of three Will know itB perfectly. "Th will fbe no wars and no crime. tOX controversies will be set tled and'ellnlnted by reasoning out the truth whloh we will be able to do. "Whether we will ever reach this stnge is, of course, problematlcsL "The Caucasian race-fundamental-ly emotional, and .therefore self-destructive will never reach It. "The Chinese race, much leas emo tional and with far greater reasonang capacity, has some chance. "Again, the Age of Reason may be reached by Bomo race so far unde vcloped or It mny never be reached at all."

(To the Editor) That we do not agree with your editorial statement yeittrdsy that the matter of the lo cation of the S. P. shops and termi nals is a competitive one prompts this riply.

Eugono at tbat time made a fight for them as she hsd a right to do, one of her committees going so far as to threuun to boycott the Southern Pacific if they were turned down but tbi company informed 'his committee as it had others that the matter was definitely and finally settled with the assurance of the S.

For almost half a century he has boon in active public life. Few men have been so virulently assailed by such powerful antagonists in politics and big busi ness. No man in American public life has successfully carried on a Fabian warfare, full of seeming utter dis asters to the sturdy champion of re form but resulting in gains in power and prestige. Robert M. LaFoItette just missed being a great statesmen. He missed it by being a bit too aggressive, too positive minded to have the necessary detachment to see a problem from any sido other than his own. By not being a great statesmen he became a master politician. I mean a politician in the best sense in which tho term can bo used, not in the aense in which it so frequently employed because of the men who havo, disgraced politics which ought to be the highest calling of all. A practical idealist is a rare com bination. Robert 'M. LaFollette was such a mnn. No man can ay of him as he now lies in the calm peace nf death that he was not a sincere public ser vant or that ho did not follow his ideals with an unswerving persistence and a high courage exceptional indeed among men. But he even as a very young man busied himself in making a political machine which has lasted for over forty years, even when there was massed against it all the resour ces nnd influence of the national re publican machine. In Wisconsin thirty-five years ago Peace to Fighting Bob. He hit fought tlie good fight and earned bis rest and the laurels which even bii enemies of yesterday now heap on hU bier. .
