NO BIRD CAN FLY WITH ONE WING
r Is the present industrial boom going to overheat the en
gine with a slowing down process as a result? There are
signs pointing in that direction. On May 9 a $7,000,000.
building project in New York was abandoned because of
the high cost of building. At the time the announcement
was made it was asserted that other building projects, to
talling $21,000,000 were in the same class. In New York
at that time the painters' union was asking for $10 a day
and a five day week. Those interested in building opera
tions, however, were quoted as saying that labor alone was
by no means responsible for the high cost of building.
Chicago is reported as having abandoned building pro
jects that total $75,000,000. Compared with a year ago,
building material in that city has advanced 28 per cent in
price, while metals and their products have advanced 37
per cent. Building materials taken as an entirety, have ad
vanced 98 per cent since 1913 in Chicago.
It is a well known principle that the pendulum swings
both ways. When business in any line becomes over fever
ish a reaction is to be expected. For months past we have
had an upward swing in prices. Most everyone has been
prospering save those dependent directly or indirectly on
agriculture. But advancing prices are likely to cause cur
tailment of consumption. Such a situation is especially in
dicated if the buying power of the farmer is weak.
However, if the industrial boom develops a hot box we
need not worry in this section. We want an agricultural
boom. hast Oregoman.

FREEMEN WORK IX THE OPEN
An Instinct to work secretly to in
fluence the action of tribe, city or
nation is firmly Implanted In the hu-,
man mind. It had ita birth In age- j
old experenees whereni crft ws nec-,
necessary to cope with the brute
tsrength of fighting men who con-,
quered their way into control of the t
tribe. The men who could not fight
their way into control had to group j
together secretly in order to bring
about action favorable to their de-;
sires. As civilization developed, mil
itary tyrannies developed. The tyrant ;
would slay the man who openly op
posed his will. This made secrecy
essential to those who would gain
control of government. Much of the
reform and progress achieved in gov
ernment has been through secret
groups. Under any secret enlighten
ed rulers it has been necessary to re-!
sort to secret conspiracy in order to
bring about changes in government.
In most old-world countries today,
secrecy is necessary to bring about
reform of gross abuses. j
Yet, while secrecy has been neces
sary for reform, it also is the cloak
fo rselfishness and wrongdoing.
There is no check against it except
exposure. No matter how lofty the
purpose with which some secret con
spiracy is launched, experience shows
that it usually is perverted to selfish .
purpose.
In a free country, where opinion
may bo expressed openly and where
all meetings may be held in the open
without incurring physical danger, j
the safe way to attempt reform Is to
attempt it in hp open. Then all may ,
see the intent is clean and unselfish
and all may see that it Is kept clean ,
and free from selfishness. It is just (
as natural for men to work in secret
in a free country as in a country
where freedom is suppressed and
punished. But this natural instinct
can be repressed by men who live in
a free country and who sincerely de
sire to effect reforms. Men with
open natures and unselfish purpose
can work openly in free America.
There is nothing to fear here ex
cept from secrecy.
Progress in government manifests
itsi'lf largely in proportion as secre
cy is abandoned and all acts pertain
ing to government are in the open.
Progress in the main represents
growth away from primitive in
stincts. Those who in this free
country adhere to secret methods are
to that extent enslaved by their prim
itive instincts. Those who work in
tho open are men whose moral
growth and stature is sufficient to
enable them to cast off this age-old
instinct. They are men who havl
freed themselves from the Bhackles
of craft.
Courageous freeman work in tho
open in free America. Oregon

THE FLAG OF OCR COUNTRY
Tho American Flag, the emblem
of our country, is the third oldest na
tional flag In the world. It is known
aa "Old Glory," "The Stars and
Stripes," "The Star Spangled Ban:
ner," and "The Red, White and
Blue." By whatever name we de
scribe it, It means liberty and lib
erty means obedience to our laws.
The Flag contains thirteen stripes,
alternate red and white, represent
ing the thirteen original states; and
a star for each state of the Union.
The field of the Flag is the stripes,
and the Union is the Blue and the
Stars. The colors of the Flag are
rfid, representing valor; white rep
resenting purity, truth and home;
blue representing loyalty and jus
tice; and its stars representing the
Federal Union.
The arrangement of the stars on
the flag is regulated by law and ex
ecutive order. An executive order,
issued October 26, 1912, provided
for 48 stars arranged in six horizon
tal rows of eight stars each. Start
ing in the upper left-hand corner
and reading each row from left to
right, gives the Btars of each state
in the Union. The star representing
Oregon is the first star in the fifth
row, Oregon being the 33rd state to
ratify the Constitution and become
part of the United States, the stars
arranged in order of the state's rati
fication of the Constitution and ad
mission to the Union.
The dimensions of the Flag are
fixed by an executive order issued
May 26, 1916. The length should be
just 1.9 times its height. The Union,
or part of the Flag on which the
stars appear, should be seven stripes
high and its length .76 of the height
of the flag. The stars are five-pointed,
with one point directly upward.
When a new state is admitted the
star is not added to the Flag until
the fourth of July next succeeding
the date of admission. The Consti
tution is the basis of all law, and the
Flag is its symbol. Always respect
it.

1(1 Y LYXX X EAR PILOT ROCK
The story of the capture of a lynx
of largo size and larger appetite, in
tho Pilot Rock district, has como to
the headquarters of tho United
States biological survey hero in the
reports of W. A. Sutherland, hunter
tor the department in the Pilot Rock
area, says the Oregonian.
During tile winter, when food was
hard to find, the lynx made his
habit, Sutherland said, to visit the
farm of Frank Chapman at nights
to effect crafty entrance into his cor
ral and make off on each viit with
a lamb. In the course of the winter
t!0 lambs, averaging 30 pounds in
weight, disappeared.
Sutherland came to tho scene. He
r.et two traps close together. The
lynx put his forefeet in one trap. It
closed on him. In his struggles one
of his hind feet was caught in the
other trap, but he managed to pull
away, swim a river and ding himself
for miles before Sutherland, follow
ing his trail, caught up with him
and killed him.
