THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
Be Civilized.
ARE you civilized? Be care
ful now before answering, be
cause there is a gauge by which
you can judge yourself and you
may be surprised at the findings.
Answer accurately "How toler
ant are you?" and you will know
to what degree you are cviilized.
It has been aptly put by one
writer that: "The measure of
your tolerance is your distance
from the jungle." Schooling and
manners have nothing whatsoever
to do with tolerance. These are
only veneer. Many people never
develop a sufficient degree of tol
erance to qualify as civilized peo
ple. It is these who cause most
of the trouble in the world. They
crucify, they whip at the stake,
they raid, they burn, they do not
reason. Hate and brutality are
their answers to logic.
"How may I know whether I
am tolerant or not?" you may ask.
Here are a few characteristics:
When a man says he will not
argue, he usually means he will
not listen. He has opinions and
he delights to make them vocal.
But when he has told his side of
the story, nothing remains to be
said. He construes any discussion
of the matter as an effort on your
part to "argue." He begins with
the assumption that any opinion
that fails to agree with his is silly.
The world is full of such people.
Good listeners are rare. People
who will listen to the other side
are rarer still. As a fact, too many
of us are more or less ignorant,
narrow-minded and intolerant.
Young people, especially those
with good minds, are intolerant of
other opinions. Old people who
have good minds usually have
been mellowed and made tolerant
with the passing years.
Be a good listener. Cultivate
the open mind Be civilized
Our Country, Wonderful.
THIS is a young country Two
birthdays were celebrated the
4th of July, Uncle Sams' and
President Coolidge's. Uncle Sam
was 151 years old and President
Coolidge fifty-five.
It is difficult to realize that as
young a man as President Coo
lidge has lived more than one
third the life of the United States.
What marvels our country has ac
complished in so few years. Mil
lions realize it as they travel about
their pleasures each day. Cities

Songs of Plain Folks
Old Gray
Down yonder where it's shady
Old Gray is waiting, Son,
A patient little lady
And mighty faithful one;
Go tell her Grandpa's coming,
Then fetch my crooked cane,
And then you go a-running
And get her pan of grain.
Wait just a minute, Sonny,
Dash in and see if Ann
Won't find a lump of sugar
To hide down in the pan!
We'll add a little sweetness
To Old Gray's lonesome day
To pay her for her fleetness
When she was sleek and gay
Old Gray, life took the harness
From you some time ago
Me, too. That's just to wain us
Our steps are getting slow.
But there's a lovely pasture
That isn't far away;
Suppose we go some evening
And look for it, Old Gray?

BtFrank Crane Says
RESULTS ARE
D
ISCUSSION has been going
George Bernard Shaw's remark that a woman ought to be
a mother in order to be a good teacher.
This remark was made opposing the tendencies in many
places to have only unmarried teachers.
Many educators have expressed themselves upon one side or
the other of this question.
After all it is merely a point of view.
One side looks at the question as to whether a woman can
do a good job of teaching or not.
The other side looks at the question as to whether the woman
ought to have the place or not with the salary attached.
In many places of business a job is looked upon as a sort of
special privilege and certain classes are favored is giving jobs
out ,sueh as wrold war veterans, old people, young people, un
married people and so on.
If a man can do the business, or a woman either, what dif
ference does it make whether he or she is married or not or
young or old?
What most people want in business is results. What attains
them or how they are attained is a matter of indifference so
long as it is done honestly.
I remember once that a presiding elder in the Methodist
church gave as his reason for sending a man to a certain place
the following:
"If I send that man it will kill the place and if I don't 'send
him it will kill him, so between the two I will send him and save
the man."
This is a good example of care for the individual ranking
above care for his work. Every man must be judged by the
kind of work he does and not by whether he is deserving of the
job or not.
The other side of civil service is to select men competent
for the position, and not to give the positions out to certain
groups of men.
In considering an applicant for the job, common sense tells
us to consider his ability to perform the duties of Jhat business
and not his ability in some other direction.
A president of the United States or the mayor of a city
should be selected because he is capable of performing the
duties of his office and whether he was a good handshaker and
oaby kisser or not has nothing to do with the case, in reality,
although in politics it has much to do with it.
mobiles traveling excellent roads
enough cars to carry our 120,
000,000 people all at one time.
And, above all, the public
schools, magnificent buildings,
high schools and the preparatory
schools everywhere. And those
school buildings, for all the chil
dren, are the finest buildings in
thousands of communities. This
nation has much to be thankful
for, with free schools so promin
ent, and prisons so few. It was
the other way round once, all over
the world.
Obeying the Law.
WE HEAR a great deal about
the enactment of too many
laws and it is true that the coun
try seems to be engulfed biennial
ly in a veritable flood of new leg
islation. One result is, so we are
told, that law enforcement is
made very difficult. This is duobt
less true, but the very fact that it
is true, makes it more the duty of
every good citizen to see that he
obeys the law himself. One good
way to prevent the enactment of
more unnecessary and foolish laws
is to enforce all laws which are on
the statute books, and so bring
about a reaction against the ten
dency to make too many new laws.
Many of our leading jurists are
warning us that the flouting of the
laws of the country is now becom
ing a national peril. Touching up-
on this point, Attorney General
Sargent recently said in an ad-
dress before the Pennsylvania

WHAT COUNT
on recently in the press about
Bar Association:
"When intelligent, educated
men hold up to ridicule the rules
for its conduct which society
makes and devote their intelli
gence, wit and resources to make
crime and criminals attractive, it
is to be expected that the thought
less, the ignorant, the vicious, will
try and get rid of the oppressor of
the criminal, in any way, by any
means, that will be most effective.
"Day by day, because some one
pays for the doing of it and be
cause the great body of lawabid
ing citizens is complaisant and
says nothing to show its disappro
val, flippant, jeering writers, pub
lishers, soap-box orators and cab
aret performers sow the wind and
society reaps it all in whirlwinds
which blast and destroy."
Plight of the Stockman.
PORTLAND TELEGRAM.
THE plight of the cattlemen is
being laid before the examin
ers of the interstate comerce com
mission, who are conducting a
hearing upon Western livestock
rates. There can be no evading
the tact that their problem is a ser
ious one and any and every rea
sonable means that can be found
to aid them through the present
doldrums in the industry should
be granted.
It is a long and complicated
story, beginning with the inflation
in values and enthusiasm that
came with the war, and ending
too often in a tragic collapse of
both. A man whose position gives
him first hand and intimate know
ledge of the situation said recent
ly that one trouble with all
branches of stockraising is that it
is not followed steadily and con
sistently through good years and
bad. It has much the same ten
dency to fluctuate that gives rise
to the garden proverb, "high
priced seed grows low priced po
tatoes." Some fifteen years ago there
was inaugurated a vigorous cam
paign to persuade Oregon farm
ers to raise enough hogs to supply
our local needs. Hog raising was
talked and hog raising was prac
ticed until within three years, Ore
gon had hogs enough and to spare.
Naturally, over-production brought
lowered price. Growers quickly
lost courage and hogs went out of
fashion on the farm, though ba
con was still welcomed upon the
table. Today Oregon produces
only about one-fourth of the hogs
that it uses, and a lot of our bacon
money goes to Chicago and other
Eastern markets.
The point we would make is that
the farmer who has steadily plug
ged along, raising a few pigs from
select stock as a staple and stabil
izing. feature in his farm program,
has averaged a good return on his
time and money and effort.
Stockmen who have held on, in
spite of difficulties and discourage
ments, are to be commended for
their courage and determination
and should be accorded every as
sistance possible. As an agricul
tural state, all Oregon is interest
ed in the stock raisers' prosperity,
and the communitv as a whole is
concerned in the outcome of the
present hearing, as in every effort
to support one of our great basic
industries.
Has No Place in Politics.
THE announcement is made
from Salem that Governor Pat
terson has accepted the resigna
tion of Wm. Duby of Baker, chair
man of the state highway com
mission, and appointed in his
place, Robert Sawyer, editor of
the Bend Bulletin and county
judge of Deschuttes county. The
resignation and appointment are
to take effect as of August 1st.
It will be generally conceded
that Chairman Duby has filled the
place on the highway commission
very satisfactorily to the state at
large; this is true as far as Mor
row county is concerned. The
Baker County Chamber of Com
merce, writing an official letter
under date of July 9, expresses the
opinion that the move to get rid
of Air. Duby -at this time was for
the purpose of appointing a po
litical friend to the place. We are
not informed as to this, but if it
is true, it is to be regretted. This
letter states that Mr. Duby was
willing to serve out the term of
his appointment, and that would
end on March 31, next, but it ap
pears that he was perfectly willing
to step out at this time.
We recall that upon the election
of Mr. Pierce to the governorship
and shortly after he entered upon
the discharge of the duties of his
office, Commissioners Booth and
Barratt tendered their resigna
tions, not, perhaps, at the request
of the governor, but feeling that
it was best to do so. Thereupon
two men of the same political
faith with the governor were ap
pointed, but they no doubt have
performed their duties on the
highway commission with no
thought other than to serve the
people of the state in an unselfish
manner and administer the affairs
of the state highway department
to the best of their ability and thus
maintain the confidence of the
people.
We believe that Governor Pat
terson has no other thought than
to place such men on the commis
sion as will continue the splendid
record that has been maintained
for the ten years of existence of
the state highway department, and
Judge Sawyer should measurt up
to the standard that has been set.
We agree with the Baker Cham
ber of Commerce that the high
way commission should be kept
out of politics.
A subscriber to an Iowa paper,
being displeased with some re
marks made by the editor, went in
to whip him. How well he suc
ceeded is given in the editor's own
words: 'There was a blow; some
body fell. We got up. Turning
upon our antagonist, we succeed
ed in winding his arms around our
waist, and by a quick maneuver
threw him on top of us, brng'ng
our back at the same time in con
tact with the solid bed of the print
ing press. Then, inserting out
nose between his teeth, and clev
erly entangling his hands in our
hair, we had him.
