FIXING RESPONSIBILITY.
I7HEN we begin to think about
conditions we are compelled to
ask WHY and WHO IS EESPONSI
BLET
If we ask the question, "Who is
responsible for the deficiencies in
government?" we are compelled to
answer, "The good citizens are re-
sponsible." If good citizens neglect
tneir duty, bad citizens of course
will carry on the government accord
ing to their ideas. If good citizens
condone the acts and doings of the
bad, then the government drops to
the level and designa and purposes
of the vicious. In other words, gov
ernment is no better than the best
citizens desire to have it. Therefore,
the responsibility for all deficiencies,
and all the crookedness and all the
objectionable features of government
rest upon the best citizens.
We are suffering today from the
bad citizenship of good citizens. It
is true that the vicious are making
attacks upon the standards, but the
moral people, the religioua people
are responsible if the standards are
broken. If, in the general religious
sense, you ask, "Why are conditions
as they are?" you are compelled to
say that the Christian forces and
the leaders of both the Roman and
Protestant churches are responsible.
If they were living better, if they
were setting better ezamples, if
they were preaching better, if they
were holding up the real, fundamen
tal doctrines of Christianity, the
world would be better, conditions
would be changed, and' the whole at
mosphere would be different. In
fact, the so-called Christian forces
must carry the burden and the re
sponsibility for the conditions of to
day, because they are asleep at their
post of duty, they have grown in
different and lazy, and their efforts
are the efforts of the inane. The re
sponsibility rests upon the so-called
Christian forces of the country. They
should swake, and awake at once.

Dairy, Fruit Problems
Matters of Conference
Eitesi of Profitable Prod act ioa and
Requireaaeats for Steady
Market to Be Studied.
Waya to market the huge Oregon
fruit auplua at a profit to the grow
ers, and to take care of the growing
surplus dairy products, are two mat
ters of special interest Lane, Marion,
Linn, Polk and Yamhill counties,
which will be taken up at the Agri
cultural Economic conference at Cor
vallis Jan. 23-26.
Surplus applea would care for the
apple -needa of 4H million peraons
outside of Oregon. Pears 6 million,
small fruits 6tt million, and prunes
prunes, more than 38 million.
Notwithstanding this fact the nat
ural advantages of this state for fruit
production are ao great that con
ference leaders think it possible to
And profitable ssaaeta for most of the
surplus if it is economically grown
and properly standardized and packed.
Hence efficient marketing will receive
special consideration at the confer
ence. The dairy products surplus is not
so large but is fast getting larger.
The quality of the butter with which
we have to compete ia improving ao
fast that it ia either produce a better
Oregon article or fail to find a prof
itable market. In what form and
quality the excess production can best
be disposed of will be given keen con
sideration by specialists, producers
and nnancial Interesta.
Other Oregon farm surpluses are
wheat, beef, wool, eggs, and potatoes
every major commodity but pork, of
which there is a deficit.
Business men and financial interests
aa well as the press are helping to
get the facta before the growers, who
will then be in a better position to
determine the program of production
and marketing that will be most
profitable to them.

LooMimg AUneatil
LAST Spring a total of 350,000 people were disappointed in
not being able to obtain deliveries of Ford Cars and Trucks,
as orders were placed faster than cars could be produced.
The demand for Ford Cars and Trucks this Spring will, accord
ing to all indications, be far greater than last Spring.
Winter buying has been increasing at a greater rate than ever
before.
Actual retail deliveries the past 60 days
totaled 308,170 Ford Cars and Trucks, an
increase of 1,961 a day over a year ago.
Over 200,000 people have already ordered Ford products on
our purchase plan, the majority of whom will take delivery in
th Spring.
The above facts are given with the suggestion that you list your
crder promptly with a Ford dealer if you contemplate the pur
chase of a Ford Car or Truck for use this Spring or Summer and
wish to avoid delay in delivery.
