OREGON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3 HOW TO MAKE SCHOOLS WORSE Before his six children, all of school age, seated at the dinner table, the successful business man of an important city in the Northwest was criticising the methods of the pnn cipal of the high school. He told how poor the discipline was, and gave examples. 1 he whole system was bad, he said. Finally, one of the guests, a woman who had been a school teacher, interposed with this statement: , "Yes, the schools are bad. And you are doing all you can to make them worse. Ypu have proved, perhaps, that this principal is not so good an executive as you are. Would you take his job? You are making $33,000 per year; the principal $1,400. You complain because you are not getting a $33,000 executive, who also has to be a scholar, which you are not, for $1,400. , - "Moreover, before your children you are stating your disapproval of his discipline, thus undermining his influence and making it impossible for him to exert what discipline he can. . s "Have you ever gone to him, as man to man, and as ? friend of the schools, wishing him well in his conduct of them, and given him some of these suggestions for improv ing his methods putting a,t his service what you have learn ed in your conduct of your plant? You have not. You sit back and criticise him where it will do the most harm, before the children, and you are one of the influential men of this town who are satisfied to pay the man in charge of your adolescent children the salary of $1,400. "Whose fault is it that the schools are bad? Yours!" This will bear a little thinking by any parent, employer or other citizen to whose interest it is that the schools should be good . COAL WAGES ' Dr. Garfield suggests a 14 percent wage increase for the j coal miners, believing that the operator can pay the 14 per vein ami never miss ii. i nai is to say, mey can pay inai without raising the price of coal to the consumer. . hi- S f A i L.l! 1 - f - wr.fl - w. mtrtaoo oeueves iney can pay secretary wnson s - suggested 31 per cent increase without either raising the price to the consumer or going to the poor house. Mr. Glass .agrees with him. As collectors of the income tax. these two gentlemen ought to know something about it.' Why are people so slow to grasp the fact that the com jnunity is a whole and not separate pieces?

Paying workers enough so they can maintain proper living standards bene- fits everybody. . BERRIES MAKE IT POSSIBLE The berry industry has already started the wheels turn ing in the matter of using logged off lands. Organizations are already being formed to enable growers to get on this cheap land. It will soon be a common sight to see a settler on ten acres of stump land with his loganberries and strawber ries planted among the stumps as he clears the land. Over the largest stumps he can run evergreen blackberries while in a corner of the stumjMand he can have a chicken yard. This is no dream picture, it is actually happening in numerous localities and berries have made it possible for the Security Do not leave VOUR LIBERTY BONDS and other valuable where they win be eubject to LOSS BY FIRE OR THEFT.

DIVIDEND Senator Harding's entry into the presidential lists means that there is to be a fight in Ohio for the G. O. P. rele gation. Opposing Harding and favoring General Wood will be found some of the leading members of the Republican advisory committee. - The battde will be to a finish and will be interesting to watch for it will mean a new line-up of Ohio Republicans. To the victor will naturally go the lead ership of the state organization and if Harding is victor the war club will be used on the heads of those who have humili ated him by .trying to "smoke him out." The Buckeye G. O P.'organization is indeed in a row and one which will not do the party any good. . . . G. O. P. leaders tell big business men that if thev are to be saved from anarchy they must elect a Republican presi dent next time, r rocaoiy that is the reason this Congress did nothing with the 70 or more bills introduced relating to anarchistic activities in the u. b. Return of the Republicans to power in the next Con gress means not only a continuation of the leadership of Henry caoot Lodge but an endorsement of it. Having had some six montns ot this kind of leadership we are willing to venture the suggestion that ere next November comes the public will be glad to overthrow Lodge and the petty partisan leadership that he has been guilty of. . o The "National Tobacco League of America," formed to oppose possible anti-tobacco crusades,' is a rather super fluous organization. Tobacco is strong enoueh to take care of itself. L Comment of the State Press Snappy Gleaming from the Preaa of the Valley se i Withqut a Kick in It Since kicks are unlaw and knocker taboo By H. A. . The SenUnel Editor Should Worry- Two or three newspapers in Coos county have at various timea criti cised Editor Young and his CoquiKe Sentinel for various uttrancea. None of the criticisms have been taken ser iously, at least Editor Young haa not been neglecting business on that ac count. If we publisher as good a newspaper as doea Editor Young we wouldnt care who criticised for that would be satisfaction enough. Coos Bay Harbor.

G. T. Embargo Lifted on Wheat The embargo has been lifted on wheat, and importations find ex no na tions can now be made without all of the red tape which has been so neres- sory aince it has been under govern- ment control, aommenta the Express. Traders can now use their best judg ment, and many will hope that the price of flour will decrease But .the inexorable law of supply and demand pays no attention to the rules trade by mere man and since the early win ter weather In Canada haa brought the-fall planting down to lest than one-third the people to the .lorth of us are anticipating three-dollar wheat next summer. The only hope for clivnp- er prices is favorable weather and men willing to work. When those conditions prevail we can be assured of lower prices, and not before.
