L
The Way of the Transgressor
The policies of R. E. Bradbury, president
of the district irrigation board, were endorsed
at the last election by an overwhelming major
ity. Chief among the various planks, box
boards, if you please, and full of knot holes,
was an expressed determination to bust the
Copco power contract wide open.
This promise should not be forgotten.
Bradbury already has the invitation of Dr. El
wood Mead to start the fireworks. A compe
tent attorney should be employed by the dis
trict and this matter threshed out in court. If
there is anything in the contract that is inim
ical to the water users and that has been ac
quired by fraud the entire contract should be
abrcgated.
Allowed to smoulder this matter will con
tinue as a thorn in the side of the district. It
now stands in the way of any basis of under
standing between the district and the reclama
tion service. Bradbury and Secretary Thomas
may prefer t6 have it so continue.
The difficulty i3 that litigation will cost
the already over-burdened district money.
But that should not hamper the board. Look
at the stakes. The power company can be
made to pay the costs of construction and bear
the operating expense'of the entire district.
Perhaps the artful Charles .Wood Eberlein,
whose heartfelt sympathies are so wrapped up
in the affairs of the district, will put up a few
thousands for attorney's fees.

The Best of Advice
By CLARK KINNAIBD
Over in Portland today a 60-year-old anti
tobacconist is to walk 48 miles in competition
with two admitted cigarette fiends. The old
boy wants to take on a couple, of bubbling
pipe or fag inhaling college boys, but unsea
soned youth did not make an appearance. In
response to the challenge an ex-service man
and a shoe salesman are entered. Carrie
Nation should flop over with joy.
As cigarettists, the writer and his asso
ciates are rooting for the old boy. More than
likely the ex-service man never did 48 miles
any day he was in the army. The shoe sales
man will likely be cursing the man who made
his shoes before the day is over. The old boy
is touted to win. His name is Robin. May
he have wings on his feet. All cigarettists
know smoking does them no good. Every
once in a while they like to have it proved to
their satisfaction. Then they light another.

feet in the stirrups.

WHY W1EXC K RILES
1 fhe taswer of the writer of this
column'' loathe question. "Wont'1
knowledge Is of the most worth?"
Is Science, as has been stated
here.
8ome readers take exception.
"The knowledge that every good
act Is rewarded, and every bad
one punished. Is more valuable,"
they declare.
And our reply Is. no subject
teaches this lesson sa well as dona
science.
Herbert Spencer defines science
as knowledge reduced to Law
and embodied In System.
It It a law that Nature enforces,
and there can be- no violations
without certain punishment from
a court where money and alienists
and lawyers and more alienists
avail nothing.
Spencer tells us that for dfrect
self-preservation, or the mainten
ance of life and health, the most
Important knowledgo Is Science.
"For that indirect self-proserva-tlon
which we call livelihood, the
knowledge of the greatest value
Is Science.
"For the due discharge of pa
rental functions, the proper guid
ance Is to be found only In
Science.
"For tlhat interpretation of na
tional life, past and preient, with
out which the citizen cannot right
ly regulate his conduct, the in
dispensable key Is Science.
Alike for the most pcrfcrt pro
duction and highest enjoyment of
Art in all Its forms, the needful
preparation Is still Science.
"And for purposes of discipline
Intellectual, moral, religious
the most efficient study Is once
more Science."
No need to teacti the young the
value of good conduct If they take
to heart the lessons of science.
Equally at present and In the
remotest future, must Real Scl
ence, accepting nothing by blind
faith, be of Incalculable import
ance for the regulation of their
conduct,, that men should under
stand the science of life, physical,
mental and social; nnl that they :
should undnrstend all other '!
ence as a key. to the n.icnre of
life. . r
Kitchen .book'; shelves should
. not be formiUao-it thwe-te room
to put them In. Underneath a
built-in Utile, desk will be the
greatest of comfrts, for there are
go many things that come to the
kitchen to bo attended to. that
have to hare pencil, paper and
other necessities at hand makes
It much castor than to havo to g'i
elsewhere to find them.

AhjpL I a
An American travelling In Ku
rope engaged a courier. Arriving
at an inn In Austria, the man ask
d his servant to enter hi nam
in accordance with the police reg
ulations of that country. Rome
time after, the man asked the ser
vant if ha had complied with his
orders.
"Yes, sir." was the reply.
"How did you write my name?"
asked tho master.
"Well, sir, 1 can't pronounce It,"
answered the servant, "hut I cop
led It from your portmanteau,
sir."
"Why, my name Isn't there.
Bring mo tho book." The regis
ter v. as brought, and, Instead of
the plain American name of two
sylablos the following entry was
roveaied:
"Monsieur Warranted Solid
leather." (
An Episcopal missionary in Wy
oming visited one of the outlying
district In his territory for the
purpose of conducting prayer In
the home of a large family not
conspicuous for its piety. He made
known his Intentions to the wo
man of the house, and she mur
mured vaguely that "she'd go out
and see." .
She was long In returning, and
after a tiresome wait the mission
ary went to the door and called
with some Impatience:
"Aren't you coming In? Don't
you care anything about your
BOUls?"
"Souls?" yelled the head of tho
family from tho orchard. "Wo
haven't got time to fool with our
fouls when the bcos are smarming."
Homo women Imparl genuine
Idealism to newspaper publishing.

son sister who fall too readily
Into the rut of putrid Journalism.
Virginia l-eltoy, a newspaper wo
man for SO years, editor of the
"liidependent-Tlnvr," Hlreatnr, III,
1 one of the women who i trying
to lift publishing out of the unde
sirable rla and put it on gen
uine pedestal. A reported In
"The I'lllled Stale Publisher,"
she says In part:
"My cardinal proposition I
this: what to do with newspa
per with a circulation of from
MOO to 10,000 In a town ol about
1S.0O0 population In the year
19SJ. Much a paper require ra
tional philosophy. Intellectual vlg.
or, broad vision, ineshnuattbl
good will and all etae that I re
quired to make a perfect human
being poise that cannot be shak
en, power that cannot be broken.
"It take greater personal per
fection U edit audi a paper In ,
suoh a city than It does In Chicago
or New York, because on th large
city dally, Ih direct contact of
the editor I not extended to the
public. Ilitt with the small dally,
the burden la on th editor. On
of the blggeat Influence of th
community 1 eirrted through th
editor of th small town and it I
th editor who meets all criticism.
That I why he need all these
talent.
"I claim that It should b the
policy of a newspaper lo keep out
of th paper all of the nnfortu
nato thing we human being are
more or leu guilty of, and lo play
up big. commendable thing. At
the requeot of a man whose wife
had committed an Indiscretion t
forewent printing that new. II
said that If the Indiscretion be
came known. It would mean th
breaking up of bis family. I not
only refrained from printing the
Item, but used my Influence lo
prevent It appearing In print else
where. That woman, having mov
ed with her family to another city,
la today a good wife and mother
and a figure of national promi
nence. "I do not believe in sensational
news. I believe that a paper
might gain a temporary advant
age through sensational now, but
tho editor who eliminates that,
keeps hi paper colorful without
it. Even when ensnilonl new
become legal news, that la no M
cuso for publishing filth. I claim
that the more we publUh such
thing tho more we will mould
filth Into our community. It Is
this policy that I havo and still
Intend lo aland for.
"Th purpose of the newspaper
Is not only to record but also to
Interpret the community to Itself.

porary derangement of cltlsens?
