I'AGE TEN THK OAZETTE-TDIES, HEFPXn, ORE, THTKSDAY, OCT. 28, J919. TRUE AMERICANISM "We may just as well definitely face the fact that no man can ever be a good Amer ican, n'o man can ever be a really tirst-class citizen of the United States, unless he is an American and nothing else. Recent events have shown us that the effort to combine lovally to this land with loyalty to any other can only result In weakening the loyalty to this country. Washington and Lincoln were of English descent, but thev were not En g-v lish-Americans. Their loyalty was undivid edly and whole-heartedly, to the United States and to all of the people of the United States in every part thereof. In international relations they judged England precisely as they judged all other nations; that is. in any given crisis they judged every foreign nation exactly in accordance with its conduct in that crisis; they were as incapable of the meanness of unreasoning malice and hatred toward any particular nation as of meanness of truckling to it and making its interests superior to our own. They set the standard of Americanism which all of our citizens should follow in their relations with one an other, in their attitude toward their own country, and in their attitude toward each and all foreign nations."

We see far off rivers, lakes, forests, flowers, wild animals of the jungles, curious birds of distant lands, the Eskimo in his Arctic ice hut and the little-clothed dweller of the tropics. At the movies we sail over vast oceans of water, "fake off" on the wings of motored birds, and think nothing of combing the floors of the seas. ' I We see wars fought thousands of miles away, and we see wonderful feats of engineering skill. We meet the world's celebrities face to face 1 at the movie. And our wife and daughter, too, are instructed. The movie to them is a school in which they are instruct ed in the things pertaining to fashion, new and charming methods of mak ing even a time-worn home look al together different and more inviting. However, the movie doesn't set itself forth as a teacher. It would fail of its purpose if it did that. Rath er does it cloak its lessons beneath the tempting tinsel of entertainment, and that is just why its lessons sink deeply into the film-entranced brain. "Most of us go away from the mo tion picture show knowing a bit more about the world. This is knowledge and to acquire knowledge the human brain must study, consciously or unconsciously,- in schoolroom, kitchen, field or elsewhere. The movie is truly one of Amer ica's great institutions. greatest on the American platform. He can crow like a whole flock of roosters, stage a dog fight and imitate so many things that he will keep yon in constant wonderment and in a con tinuous roar of laughter. The sawing of wood, popping of corks, imitating locomotive whistles all these are child's play to him. Competitive Examinations for West Point and Annapolis In order to give equal opportunity to every boy in his district to win an appointment to West Point or An napolis Congressman N. J. Sinnott will hold a competitive examination on December 15th, 1919, to deter mine whom he will designate to the military and naval academies in 1920. The examination will be given for the congressman by the U. S. Civil Service Commission in the following eight cities at the same hour and day. Baker, Bend, Klamath Falls, La Grande, Lakeview, Ontario, Pendle ton, The Dalles. Any young man, who is a bona fide resident of the Second Oregon Dis trict, desiring to enter this competi tion, should write at once to Con gressman Sinnott, Room 347, House of Representatives for further par ticulars regarding the examination. The ages of admission to West Point are 17 to 22 years and to Annapolis 16 to 20 years. THE MOVIE ITS EDUCA TIONAL FEATURES. We believe the movie shows of today are improving over the movie shows of yesterday. Better methods of photography make for brighter and better pictures, but aside from the mechanical-scientific improve ments, the moral tone of the films are on a higher plane. And its all coming about through education. At first the movie fan was enter tained and amused by most anything that was flashed on the screen, for in the days of its youth, the screen pro duced a novelty that was in Itself, at traction. But now the movie does more than amuse and entertain. It instructs. It tells stories in more and interest ing fashion than any writer, for it pictures them to the eye. It teaches geography, history in the making, ind brings the four corners of the world to one's own neighborhood. All these things often pass before our eyes of one evening as the films flicker.

DISTBIBUTTON OP GOVERNMENT SEEDS Congressman Nick Sinnott has re quested The Gazette-Times to assist him in making distribution of the vegetable seeds allotted to his dis trict, next spring. The Department of agriculture has he write us, allotted to each member of Congress a number of packages sufficient to give a package of seeds to only one person in each eight or ten In his district. This causes him to be particularly desirous that what seeds he has available should get in the bands of those constituents most desire them and can use them to the best advantage. He states that he believes this can be done bet ter through the papers in his district than in any other way. Announcement will be made through the columns of this paper when the seeds arrive,, probably soon after the first of the coming year, to who CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES. 1. O. 0. F. Hall.
