Priioi Management
Pierce AJm. Utraiion Monumental Mistake
Incompetence U the chief characteristic of adminitri
tion of every branch of the state government in which
Governor Tierce has had his own sweet way. The prison
administration haa been the special responsibility of the
governor, and the recent outbreak is simply one more ex
ample of what can happen w hen we elect a man who puts
politics ahead of principle and who is ready to sacrifice
public welfare to malt room for hU political pets.
Dalrymple apparently failed to distinguish himself
by even one trace of competence. We do not join in
branding him t coward, but his courage, if he had any,
was not coupled with anything resembling judgment. He
seemed entirely helpless to deal with a situation invited
by his own inability to' prevent it The extent to which
Dalrymple waa paralysed by Governor Pierce's political
interference with prison management can only be conjec
tured. Pierce must carry the responsibility for Dal
rymple's laxity, as Pierce was solely responsible for the
appointment and also for whatever interference from
above to which he permitted his appointee to be sub
jected. We doubt not that Governor Pierce will wring sym
pathy from the audiences to whom he confides the dif
ficulties he has had in prison administration as well as
in tax matters and every other governmental branch or
undertaking. He may emerge as the hero of his own
mistakes. But neither he nor his newspaper apologists
can keep all the people hypnotized all the time, so we
look for a sufficient resurgence of common sense to effect
his permanent retirement from office next year.
And how the Pierce administration will stand out for
years to come asthe most monumental mistake of the
people of Oregon in the exercise of their electoral fran
chise! Oregon Voter.

Golden Rule Is Needed
Begin In Schools With Youngsters
Frederick D. Underwood, president of the Erie rail
road company, says:
"There is a maxim to the effect that everyone
should 'pull his weight in the boat' Whoever fails puts
greater burden on the others for, 'willy-nilly', everyone
is pulling and being pulled. The question is: Are we
pulling a fair share? If not. why not? Are we willing
to pull or are we expecting others to labor harder at the
oar that we may labor less? Is the axiom that everyone
should pull his weight possible in the operations of the
world?
"The remedy for our troubles is within reach, but so
far has not been reached. They would be over were the
so-called Golden Rule in universal operation. It is so
simple and so obviously would bring relief that its gen
eral acceptance is well worth pulling for.
"Opinions agree that the point is in kindergartens,
schools and all institutions of learning. Some children
are taught nothing at home; some little more than that.
When the Golden Rule is introduced as a fundamental
feature into all educational institutions, it will be helpful.
Family discipline and churches cannot be depended upon.
Other needs in the home supplant the fundamentals. The
churches work one short day in seven and many people
arc not church goers; but, in our universal school law,
which enforces the attendance of every child, is the logi
cal starting point for the plan. Catch them young. Drill
them all alike. When one thinks what could be accom--plmhed
in this respect in a comparatively few years, it is
imprcssive. Impress on children the wisdom of logical
thinking, the unwisdom of emotional surmises, the differ
ence belw.;,:n impulses and facts, and that eloquence is
not always accurate."
Senator Charles Curtis, republican leader in the sen
ate, says that taxes ought to be reduced by $500,000,000
and that this could be drtio if costly overlapping and du
pl.cat.on were avoided under a careful plan of depart
ment reorganization. Well, why not "reorganize," the
pubic is crying for tax reduction and less government
red tape.
If he is wholly selfish in little things, the thing that
keeps him from being a pirate is expediency.
