AMERICANS CROWDING PARIS
A GOOD PI.AX FOR
HIOPPXKR TO FOLLOW
The decision of the railroad lahor board on the wage
claims of .all classes of railroad employes is so liberal that
it should be accepted without hesitation by the employes,
as it must be by the companies. It will be accepted by the
people, though they must pay the higher wages in the
shape of higher rates. Naturally the outlaw unions will re
ject it, for it gives them nothing, but they put themselves
out of court by striking in defiance of the contracts of the
unions against which they rebelled.
This is the first labor award in which the general
public has been treated as a direct party to the question
under discussion, having equal representation on the board
with the employers and employes. A principle is thus re
cognized which has always been sound, but which had been
lost to sight until the intolerable injury suffered by the
public forced it to the front. Hitherto the public has been
represented on arbitrat:on boards as umpire only. It now
figures as a third party, having an equal interest with the
other two. This is as it should be, for the public pays in
the end.
Hut the public is just. It is always ready to act on
the principle that the laborer is worthy of his hire. But
it will not permit the other two parlies to the bargain to
combine on extortionate wages or rates, and it expects
good, continuous service. Practical assurance that the
board's decision will be accepted is a tribute to the moral
power of such a tribunal, for the law does not make accept
ance compulsory. The employes are legally free to strike,
but with the public practically united in belief that the a
ward is just thev could not win.
This should make an end to railroad strikes in this
country. While the labor board is guided by justice and
.sound judgment, there can be no excuse for a strike, and
opposition of public opinion would render one impossible
because it cannot win. This will continue while the board
nets both promptly and justly on exact knowledge of facts,
and while action is not too long delayed. At last the fact
is accepted in effect that railroads are not to be treated a
the absolute properly of either the companies or the em
ployes, but as a public trust for the sersice of the people.
Men will accept employment on them with knowledge of
lliis condition, which excludes any suspension of work
which interrupt s continuous service, Oregonian.
ILLITERACY AMONG AMERICAN CHILDREN
An expensive local home was re
cently purchased by a farmer who
was debating whether to move to
Pendleton or to a Washington town.
He had heavier farming interests in
Waslajngton than in Oregon but
Pendleton was selected as his home
town because of good local conditions
"known to prevail here. It it also re
ported on the best of authority that
Pendleton condition had much to do
with swinging a half million dollor
ranch deal recently. These incidents
show conclusively that it is a business
proposition to improve our town.
Let's keep it up.

Many of the Thousands of Tourists
Have Hard Time Find

Paris. Great dtflu'iiitles arc being
encountered by Paris hotels in provid
ing accommodations for tin1 thousands
of American tourists who are Hocking
to this city.
Many hostelrtes have their rooms
booked up until late in .luly or early in
August, and ninny Americans who have
failed to make arrangements for ne
commodacions arrived to find all ho
tels, large and small, crowded. A wom
an entered the office of a steamship
company recently anil reported she had
visited ill hotels without being able to
find a room.
Another factor that is expected to
restrict European travel this summer
is the lack of shipping facilities. There
are from forty to forty-five ships now
in service between American and
French ports, and these at the outside
can carry from 12,(KK) to 13,000 persons
to Europe each month.

Many American" born children are yrowinj; up in illi
teracy, according to the seventh annual report of the Chief
of Children's llureau of the I'nitcd States Department of
.Labor. And "unless prompt attention be niven to the
problem the children of the present generation will not be
assured at least the elementary education which every cit
izen in a republic should have" The Christian Work thus
.summarizes the report, says Literary Digest:
"Of i),(x) children between fourteen and sixteen
years old, to whom cenliticales were issued, more than one
tourth could not write their names legibly. Nearly lo per
eent had never gone beyond the lu st grade, and considerab
ly more than half were in the fourth grade or lower when
they left school. Only about $ per cent were in the eighth
grade, and about one in a hundred had reached high school.
"These children were native Americans. Of the whole
number, only Iwciilv four were foreign born. The respon
sibility for their neglect, I lie report points out. is not merely
o local one. The I'niled Slates is now offering to the slates
financial a-Mstance and expert advice in providing for
ihe voc.ilioii.il education of children. A similar national
policy ni'ght well be followed in regard lo elementary edil-
at ion."

Turkeylled wheat has made a good r
start near cLxInRton which for years
has been a heavy producer of Blue-
stem. There was a time when farm- !
erg occasionally got stands of Dlue-
stem when seeded early enough in
the fall and when prices of wheat
were low It did not hurt ao much to
reaeed in the sprlnp.
With higher production cost and
high priced seed It is necessary to get
the biggest and surest yield at the
least cost.
This cannot be done with a spring
wheat planted in the fall as It too
frequent fy winter kills. The Lexing
ton section Is not alone In the prac
tice of sowing a spring wheat in the
fall and It is Interesting to note that
Ing Ihe fall seeded varieties of spring
clubs In Wasco, Vuiatllla and Morrow
counties in Oregon and
Washington.
It la not safe to plant
wheat in the fall unless you lilu in
rcseed.
Turkey reel is considered the hard
iest of the genuine winter whe.ii.-i.
It produces flour of excellent quali:y.
ii is resistant to not nrv weater.
Why? It has deen roots. It matures
early and it has a short slender straw
and only a few narrow leaves. This
makes it lose less water than the
broader leaved tall thick stemmed
wheats like bluesteni. Forty fold and
Red nussinn.
Turkey Red wheat has been tried

Prof. R.G.Hyslnp ha been inspect

more than three thousand acres of
Turkey Red that have passed tin
Field Inspections. A large part of
this wheat Is from the certified seed
