has been in Springfield only one
under a governmental system in which paternalism had
no part—a government founded upon the principles that
the government ought not try to do for the people those
things which they can best do for themselves. For that
reason we subscribe to the remarks made by President
Hoover in an address recently:
"I have never believed that our form of government
could satisfactorily solve economic problems by direct ac
tion—could successfully conduct business institutions. The
government can and must cure abuses.
What the government can do best is to encourage and
assist in the creation and development of institutions con
trolled by our citizens and evolved by themselves from
their own needs and their experience ahd directed in a
sense of trusteeship of public interest.”

AT WALTERVILLE HALL
Keep pushing ahead on the McKenzie should be our
watchword. By early fall all the remaining county road
on the McKenzie highway should be improved to state
standards and be a state road. The Doyle Hill-Vida sec
tion has been let and now for the Vida-Nimrod section, the
last piece of country road.
Lane county should celebrate when the last section on
the McKenzie is completed. It is something we have been
looking forward to for years and it will be the first wholly
completed state highway in Lane county, outside of the
paved Pacific highway.
Routine business was transacted
by the members of the American

workers. He has been with the company for many years
and knows the manufacturing as well as the sales end.
He should fill well the shoes of A. C. Dixon, who has

The legislature has adjourned, so we have something
to be thankful for. Whoever wrote the 40-day pay pro-
Ylsicn in the state constitution should be remembered in
•story. The only way to stop any legislature is to stop
! pay. Legislation without cost to the taxpayers is about
as short winded as this projiosed “power without cost to
the taxpayers.”

A nian asked me the other day what courses I studied

I answered, "Greek and mathematics.'’
He said it sounded like a silly answer. “You are in the
advertising business. What do Greek and mathematics
have to do with advertising?”
Of course they have nothing to do directly with adver
tising. or with modern banking or the law, or any of the

f Twccpraging. Young people graduate into life with a mass
of unassimilated and more or less inaccurate facts but
with no real mental drill, and no philosophy.
In one of his finest passages Cardinal Newman describes
an educated man as one who “has the repose of mind
which lives in Itself, while it lives in the world, and which
has resources for its happiness at home when it cannot
go abroad. He has a gift, which serves him in public and
supports him In retirement, without which good fortune
Is but vulgar and with which failure and disappointment
hnve a charm.”
And In another place he defies education as “the prepara
tion for knowledge.”
If all educators could agree upon that definition, it would
mean much progress. Then we should have college grad
uates whose minds are prepared, rather than graduates
whose minds are merely stuffed.
Too many graduates at present have plenty of knowledge

We can not make up our minds whether it was Governor
Meier’s leadership or the lack of leadership in the legisla
ture which allowed the drift of legislation toward central
ized power in the state executive. Properly used strong
centralized power is all right but it is contrary to the trend
of the time which is for more pure forms of democracy.
