Their Duty
Tolerance. Fairness. Helpfulness Newspaper Ideals
. Were all of the newspapers in the United
States to live up to the ideals set for them by
President Coolidge in his address Thursday
there would today be much les3 of misunder
standing in this country and the world, much
less of strife, much less of inequality, much
less of injustice, and much less of unhappin-
ess.
The president, stressing the freedom of
the press and its effect on the course of human
events, urged a spirit of tolerance, a spirit of
fairness, elimination of partisanship, and criti-
cism and effort of a constructive nature. He
pointed to the law as the guiding light for .the
course of human affairs, to united effort and
a spirit of helpfulness as productive of the
greatest benefits to a people, and to the aban-
donment of intolerance, partisanship and in
dividual and local jealousies as the open road
to a greater nation with greater power for
good.
It is within the power of the newspapers
of the United States and other countries to
build for a greater future along the lines sug-
gested by the president. It is within their
power to aid immeasurably in bringing under
standing out of misunderstanding;' in convert-"
ing injustice into justice, and in substituting
for suspicion and strife, good will and co-operation.
That is a newspaper's duty. Fortunately,
moat of them recognize it. Oregon Journal.
o
When you travel through North Dakota
you scarcely wonder that the non-partisan lea
gue flourished there. Passing out of the green
meadows and fields, blooming orchards and
forest-fringed streams of western Oregon in
April into and across the barren, bleak and in
hospitable plains of North Dakota, you can
readily understand why North Dakotans be
came restive, discontented and aroused. There
isn't a spear of grass in sight from Bismarck
to Fargo on the fifth of April. The land does
not look as if it was ever touched by water.
The roads are dusty. Wherever there are
streams or ponds or lakes they are frozen.
Spring that arrived in Oregon weeks ago
hasn't reached Dakota yet. And the perspec
tive, as you gaze over magnificent distances
from the train windows, doesn't give you
hope that it will ever come. Oregon Journal.

Stale Brains
Compartelvely few of us are
torn brilliant; man)' of ui have
have not bad the opportunity for
br.'lllanry's development thrust
upon u.-i; but most of us, unless
hind trapped by aa unkind fate,
have witbla us possibilities for
brightness.
Scintillate we may not. Out
Interest and entertain we should
and can.
Witty repartee is an art often
amounting to genius, and oft
times a conversational comet with
a st in; In Its tall.
Kindly humor Is more likely
the birthright of the average In
dividual, and it Is this lubricant
that keeps social wheels running
smoothly and without a Jar.
There's a difference between
brilliancy and brightness.
Brilliancy Is a gift of the gods.
Brightness is an attribute that
the less favored may acquire a
quality that Is the result of look
ing beyond the boundaries of
one's own boriion sympathy with
one's fellow men a lively con
cern In the world of things and
people.
Because this Is true, dullness Is
one of the deadly sins, and, un
less there is a mighty good rea
son for its existence, almost un
forgivable. Jill marries and we've all seen
it happen now and again Im
passively sinks Into oblivion as
far as her old friends, her old In
terests are concerned. From her
windows she watches the world
pass her door, a bit scornful In
her attitude toward those whose
lives and whose points of view
now diverge so sharply from her
own. i''T$
Pots and pans have suddenly
become the axis of her universe
and baby's breadth nnd height
and weight the ' one absorbing
topic of the day.

profession when she loses her
perspective and allows duty to
eliminate that variety that keeps
living from the cqmmonplace.
Jill may find complete content
mint In her home and baby, but
Jack scarcely finds it thrilling
to be regaled at dinner and after
dinner by tales of the batcher sad
baker and candlestick maker. The
girl he married has disappeared,
smiles, her Jests., her merriment
turned into a drab seriousness
that disconcerts him. When, bored
and disillusioned, he takes to
staying down town for dinner,
and remaining until the wee sma'
hours, at his club, really isn't he
more sinned against than sin
ning? I i ncre s anoiuer slue to the
story. Jack, anxious to make
his mark in tho. world, concen
trates on dollars, but forgets the
sense good, common, horse
sense! Night follows night and
he pores over tho stock reports
or steadily figures out costs and
expenditures, and then one fine
evening rouses from bis absorp
tion to wonder what has come over
Jill why is she so distrait, at
times so capriciously unreason
able, so dissatisfied?
Dullness on cither's part is
fatal to wedded bliss.
And It Is every bit as much of
a deterrent to business success.
Stale brains never got anyone

Dinner Stories
A Oermsn -who- had been se
verely and painfully stepped on by
a burly Irishman who plowed bis
way through the crowded car,
said:
"Mine frlent, I know that mine
feet vns meant to be valkod on,
but dot brlvllega pelongs to me."
As the truln n eared the city
the passengers straightoned up In
their seats and began to gather
together their belongings. Tho
colored porter approached the
Jovlul-faced gentleman, saying
with a smile:
"Shall 1 brush you off, sah?"
"No," he replied. "I prefer to
get off in the usual manner.
"Hullo! What's the matter with
your wife?" said a man to his
neighbor who was noted for his
fast horses. "I see she has her
hand In a sling, t suppose it's
that new trotter of yours. I saw
her out with it yon lord ay, and I
thought no good would come of it.
Heck less driving, I suppose, eh?"
"Yes," was the reply, "reckless
driving but not of the horse."
"What then?"
"A nail."
A Scot visited a specialist and
was told that he might dio at any
minute, lie returned by a slow
train to his native lund.
At each station he left tho
train, ran through the barrier,
came bark and re-entered the
train. At last the guard ask.cd
blm what this maneuvra meant.
"I may die any moment," ex
plained tho Scot. "So I am only
booking from station to station."
A slate, with pencil and sponge
attached by strings, will bo found
a great convenience to havo on
the kitchen wall.
Soft and pretty tones in bed
room decoration can' bo achieved
by using double window curtains,
one color over another. Often a
landing lamp has a shade made
of the same two colors, and It can
be repented in a scfa cushion with
good results.
