The proprietors of full gasoline
tanks all last summer, are now con
fronted with the empty cupboard.
Science has succeeded in restoring

EX-PRESIDEXT WILSON' must appreciate that old maxim "Si
lenee is Golden." For-two years and more the former presi-'
dent has maintained silence, he has even resisted the temptation to
dictate his Memoirs and as a result he today enjoys what approxi
mates a return to his former prestige and popularity.
When ex-Premier Clemeneeau addressed a mass meeting in Xew
York City a few days ago, his mention of Wilson's name brought the
greatest spontaneous demonstration of the evening.
According to the "Movie News" flashing President Wilson on the
screen today brings "tremendous applause in nearly every section
of the country."
This phenommena is interesting in showing the volatility of popu
lar favor.. Kvery public man in a Democracy has suffered a similar
experience, from the duys of Aristides, through Washington, Lincoln
and Roosevelt, to our contemporary political luminaries, Taft, Hard
ing and Wilson. .-
t
Democracies are proverbial ungrateful. Hut sooner or later.
usually later, something akin to justice is done. In this direction the
letters of Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior under Wilson,
throw an interesting sidelight.
According to Mr. Lane, the anti-Wilson tide set in with the Presi
dent's appeal to the American people to elect a Democratic congress.
It seems President Wilson did not favor the move, alul at a cabi
net meeting talked against it. Hut former Postmaster General Hurle
son, one of the administration's hard-boiled politicians, favored it
vehemently.
"What the Democrats want," said he, "is a leader with GUTS!"
This somewhat colloquial remark, it seems, made a great impres
sion on the President. He made no reply, but the doubt regarding his
intestinal capacity, apparently struck home. The following day the
manifesto was issued, and President Wilson's greatest political blun
der was inscribed on the pages of American history.

A PUZZLED PRINTER
- (Marshfield News)
J. A. Edlund, pastor. Sunday
school at 10 a. m.; services in
Swedish at 2 p. m. The pastor will
dwell on the life and character of
the late Rev. l'eter (you've got
mo) the foundor of our church on
the Pacific coast, coming to the
... Coos Bay country in 1884. He was
, born in Sweden, December 7, 1822;
came to America In 18G4; came to
'Portland, 1879. Ladles' Aid 2 p. in.
, A LADY TALK8
My boss is a great believer in fresh
air for the other fellow. He opens
'the back door, he opens the front door,
he opens all the windows, puts on the
overcoat he brought from Minnesota,
The interesting feature of this incident is that a foolish personal
pride undoubtedly led Mr. Wilson to do what his judgment condemn
ed, led him to act a part, to be untrue to himself.
lint ihcre is reason to believe Mr. Wilson learned his le.s.so:i. Un
doubtedly the temptalions to break his silence since 19J0 have been
many, the pressure at times from some of his best political supporters
must have been intense, but through it all the former President has
kept his own council, let the world of friends aiid foes slip by, firm in
his belief that ultimately his faith would be fulfilled, that justice
would be done.
In this attitude Mr. Wilson has been true to. himself as a gentle
man and a scholar. In public or private life, his is one of ,the
hardest things to do, but most serious troubles, political or domestic,
could be avoided if one had the wisdom and the steadfast courage to
never falter from Horatio's advice : . '
"To thine own self be true,
'. '. And -it must follow -as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to'any man."

that on the average, country children
receive less than twd thirds as much

The village and rural schools spend
annually $392,000,000 for educating
12,500,000 children. The cities spend
$ 188,000,000 for 9,003,000 children, or

But, 1 found out something else
that I believe that it would be good
for the people of the Rogue River
valley, to practice for a while as
follows:
And that' Is to quit knocking and
try booostlng for a while. I was!
showing some land over in Calif or-1

In here, I want to talk with this
land owner. So we went in ana my
party said to the land owner, how Is'
the land around here, do you con
sider the prices high, and what inter
est if any will you get, or what in
terest will the crops pay on your in
vestment? . Well, we called that day on a doz
en or more farmers and they all said I
about the same thing. No one did:
we find that had any kick coming. I (
was there for three days and wei
called on people every day and we
failed to find anv knockers, and 1
asked one farmer why It was so, and
be said to me, that he had bought a
farm there and that he was stung,
but, said he to me, I did not make
nnv fuss about It, as every one that
! had asked about the place before
I bought it had all boosted It, so he
said to me, we all boost. It pays.
Now people of the Rogue River
valley, lets try this boosting act for
a while and by so doing I believe that
we will gain by It, we will also get
new people In here to help wipe out
this debt that we have, also It will

tion square in the face for a minute:
We have about 800,000 population
in the state of Oregon, now if we
could increase this to 1,600,000, we
would have just twice as many peo
ple to pay taxes, and that would
lower the taxes on each one of us.

AST night a dog, in mournful tones, the gibbous moon was

I used to swallow!) that when a bow-wow thus gave tongue, dis

sweat of terror marking; "and some one will be lying dead when
moonlit dogs are barking." Some fifty years have gone away

The wuy to equalize educational

not from tho top down. - - -
We must equalize educational op
portunity by replacing tho worst type
of school wo have and giving the
children in It a chance somewhere
equal to thnt given children In the
best type. About the only good way
to do thin is, to nbosrb the little
schools into larger ones, to consoli

tried for the Inst eighty years and
whenever Intelligently and carefully
done, It has been n success In the
sense that It has greatly Increased
tho opportunities for education that
were being given to tho children in
