TO MEET
A Ilioi'l'NEK minister, in his
sermon last Sunday morning,
pointed out the great power for
good or evil which is vested in
our thinking, "As a manthink
eth, so is he," might have been
his text. "If a few people in
Europe," the speaker declared,
"were to think rightly today the
war could be ended within twenty-four
hours."
Shakespeare said: "There is
nothing, either good or bail, but
thinking makes it so."
How important it is, then, that
we should all cultivate good
thoughts. Thoughts are things,
and every thought that goes
forth from the human mind has
its effect, directly upon the
thinker perhaps more indirect
ly upon the entire world.
If we would be efficient we
must learn to think clearly; if
we desire to be noble, and gen
erous, and Hire, we must culti
vate such thoughts as will en
gender nobility, and generosity,
and purity. If we would be
brave, and courageous, and suc
cessful, we must learn to banish
fear, and doubt, and cowardice
from our thinking. Fear is a
demon that lurks in darkness.
and if we yield allegiance to him
will quickly make pigmies of
us all.
The way to keep from wrong
doing is to banish wrong think
ing, and to best do this we should
strive to keep our minds so filled
with good thoughts that evil
ones can find no abiding place
therein.

increase the voting at the primaries.

At the moment we can think of
but one chance for the Journal
if this boycott really goes into
effect. It might follow the ex
ample of many o: these country
editors, who, when their good
friend, the Oregonian, cut them
from its exchange list a few
years ago, manfully swallowed
their chagrin and tearfully dug
up the price of a year's subscrip
tion to the source of their inspi
ration. This suggestion is offer
ed the Journal as a sort of war
measure. It may be expensive,
but so are submarines; and then
Gottage Grove and Ashland need
the money, just as the Oregon
ian did.
Saturday, March 17,
At that time the committee
will give formal consideration to
proposals that have come in from
all parts of the state, asking the
committee as the official body
representing the legislature in
the bonding act, to call a confer
ence for the organization of a
state committee or association
which can establish an informa
tion headquarters for the bond
ing campaign.
Such a committee would in
clude representatives of local
good roads organizations of all
the counties of the state.
Senator Wood views with fa
vor the moves initiated at Asto
ria, Eugene, Medford, Pendle
ton and Redmond to organize
state highway associations or
district good roads associations.
"The man thing," he said, "is
to have some headquarters to is

Gkkmany's attempt to form quested by the different county

ico and Japan against the United ent movements for state associ

popularity in both of those coun-1 est of economical management
tries. Japan has no reason for of one headquarters, or they can

If they fire fairly entitled to what
they ask for. itnuarlial arbitrators will
award it to them, and the public, which
finally foots all transportation bills,
will draw its belt a bit tighter, pay the
price either in higher rates or dimin
ished service, or both, and there will
he no interruption jf the country's
omnierce.
But if American business shall be
thrown out of war by a jivnentl stop
paw of railroad service because the
brotherhoods have refused to arbi
trate. public sympathy will undoubted,
ly be with the railroad owners and
managers. And without the support of
public opinion the brotherhoods could
not win a strike.

PATRIOTISM
It IS one thing to be patriotic
but quite another to be hysteric
al about it and denounce all who
disagree with you as cowards
and traitors. While the action
of Iho twelve senators who took
part in the alleged filibuster
proved to be, to say the least,
highly unpopular among the
newspapers and commercial and
political organizations of the
country, it would show fully as
high a degree of Americanism
to allow them their constitution
al rights of freedom of speech
and act ion as long its such speech
and action is within the law of
the laud.
