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."

I We see wars fought thousands of

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.

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. We see the mountain peaks

The Department of agriculture has
