TEACHING THE TEACHERS A LESSON
Because of dissatisfaction with the salary demands of
tKe teachers, a town in Switzerland has decided upon a
lock-out. A very fair example of biting off one's jiose to
spite one's face, it would seem at this distance.
With the whole world realizing that the teachers are
underpaid and must be given some reasonable increase in
salaries, this town finds it better to close its schools than to
meet the situation. It is something new in cutting the Gord
ian knot, but the result in the long run is quite likely to prove
a more embarrassing question for the town officials than
that relating to salaries-
Perhaps a few weeks without schools will convince the
citizens that there are some advantages to be derived from
paying what a thing is worth. Folk as thrifty as the Swiss
will shortly come to a realization .tnat tne spectacle ot a
whole town full of children wasting their time and getting
into mischief to boot, is not to be tolerated, even at the sav
ing of a few dollars in taxes. Or, if they are so blind as not
to see their folly, it is quite probable that the next time the
town figures in the world's news it will be to announce that
it has locked out the hremen and proposes, to let the town
burn down. And the loss w.ould not be irreparable if the
conflagration should remove the whole neighborhood from
the map.
There are other places to call a halt in the higher
prices than on the teachers salaries, we submit to the de
mands of profiteers with more or less grace. Why, then,
balk at a boost for the teachers, so that they, too, may be
able to face the profiteers? Nobody is foolish enough to
charge them with profiteering. Why, then, not give them
what is admittedly their right r
o
THRIFT SIGNS
fci 0
It appears that we have been entirely wrong about this
-extravagant spending. Costly clothing is not a sign of reck
less expenditure, but a sign of thrift. A Chicago manufac
turer explains:
"The young woman who wants the so-called extravag
ant items of dress, such as silk underwear silk hose and fur
coats, starts to save to get them.
"She gets the saving habit, and after her wardrobe is
complete she keeps on saving and the money goes into the
savings bank. The most extravagantly dressed girls in our
factory have the most money in the bank."
This may be added to the long list of cost-of-living com
ments labeled "interesting if true.". It is really true that
among wage-earners of any given class, or even salary-earners
or coupon-clippers of any -given class, the ones most
richly and showily dressed are the ones with most money in
the bank? That lavish expenditure is indeed the best in
centive to thrift? .
If this is true gospel, we take it that the housewife who
suddenly decides to put her household on a basis of true
economy will start by going out and ordering a new set of
rugs and the finest bedrom suite she can find; or that the
father of a family seeking the same end will start his thrift
plan by buying a new limousine.
Maybe there really are people who save money that
way. We don't happen to know any.

Polities Mixed
The appointment of Uainhridjro Col

ioughly mixed condition of partisan
polities. Mr. Colby, like his predec
essor, Lansing, has never been a dem

apse of the Bull Moose movement.

Ghost of Napoleon
Think no more of St. Helena with
the ghost of a lonely Napoleon

the place is stralrgirally important
lo the trade routes of Africa. Had
the eowyprcd conqueror lived to wit
ness such a change he would probably
by busy now organizing the visiting
ships into a fleet which would make
him muster of the seas. Oregori

May Draft Candidate
As the East Orrgoman sees the sit
uation, the people of Umitilla county
will have to use their draft powers if
they secure a strong man for the
county judeship. The salary paid
is not adequate for a position that
earries-with it tho greatest responsi
bilities of any position In the county.
It is a sacrifice for a big man to take
the position and such men have been
found averse to running. East Ore-gonian.

WORLD TEMPERANCK HYMN
Mrs. Wm. Jennings Uryan
Tune "Materna"
Our thanks we raise, O Lord of
Hosts,
In gratitude to Thee,
Whose mighty arm has given us
strength
To win this victory -We
need Thy aid, Thy presence still,
Do not withstay Thy hand
Till subtle foes Thy will fulfill.
Throughout our earcful land.
Shall morning sun flee from the day?
Shell raindrop cease to blvss? :
Shall beacon send no cheering ray.
O'er wal'ry wilderness?
No more can we refuse to share
The blessings God bestows.
To ease the burdens others bear,
And lessen human woes.
A voire from overseas we hear.
As in the days of Paul
Tho Macedonian cry rings clear,
A summons for us all.
Then when a world reclaimed at last
la brought to Wisdom's wsys,
Will hosts in heaven join hosts on
earth
In worship, love and praise.
Native Poetry
;
HE HAD A PLEASANT HMII.K
(Anonymous, In the Dallas llemlxer)
I He was not rich in worldy goods, no
office he held;
I In no one Held it might be said ot him
that he excelled;
He managed but to (t along to
! march with rank and file,
i Yet ho was unique in this; He had a
pleasant smile.
While others careworn fares wore, he
smiled his way through life;
Ho had his share of trouble, too, of
worldly earn and strife;
Hut somehow furrows never ram
that mark the weary mile;
His fare a benediction was ho wur
a pleasant smile..
He Hindu our burdens lighter seemj
our worries chased awayj
His cheery greeting always inside a
brighter, lighter day;
What, though he never rose to fame,
or never made his pile?
A monarch might have envied him
he wore a pleasant smile.
