THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1878) Qo HIS COME-BACK A pale youth —body wasted by suffering, but eyes glowing with exalted purpose — steps into the office cf a wealthy man in Portland, Ore. He says: “Mr. —, I robbed your house ir 1914. I'll make restitution if you'll tell me how much you lost.” The young man gradually is repaying the hun- dreds of people he robbed. As he steadily wipe: the slate clean, he looks the world in the face and says: “Society cannot take what I earned in France— the right to live honorably. Irom now on, I shall fight for the right to walk in the open.” The young man’s photograph is before thc writer of this editorial. His name is withheld— because circulating it could do him no good, and probably might harm him in his admirable fight to make amends and start anew. The young man claims that he was educated to be a thief. When 12 years old, he was taken through the streets of Pacific coast cities. De- tectives were pointed out to him. Like a pupil of Fagin, he was coached in all the technique of crime—how to steal, make a geta- way, dispose of loot. ' At 18, as bellboy in a Seattle hotel, he started his crime career by breaking into the proprictor’s room, stealing a purse—and removing his finger- prints. For three years, he says, he was a thief. Final- ly Oregon sent him to a reformatory, where he had time to “think it over” and study himself. . He escaped, went east, made his way honestly. Then, in uniform, he went to France, where he was gassed, shell-shocked and wounded, “ Recovered, he continued living honestly. But dbmcthing kept him uneasy, unhappy. Finally the light dawned. He realized that his conscience Was tormenting him. As soon as he began to make restitution to the people he had robbed, a great peace and happiness came over him. + $7.20 2 T20 + 5.00 « 6.01 ., This young man was the product of a home de- stroyed by divorce. Bad influences and inviron- ment made him a criminal, but they could not keep him so. * It is an exceptionally interesting case, especially for students of criminology. It demonstrates that the inner self can raise above and conquer énvironment of the worst sort. . To men like this, the world is always ready to extend the helping hand. Young men who are just starting on the downward path can learn from this Portland youth that it is never too late to turn back and take the right road. ANIMAL WARS Carveth Wells, explorer, tells about the whale- killer. It’s a big fish, about as long as a Pullman car, living in the ocean around the South Pole country. As many as 16 seals have been found in the whale-killers stomach. But the whale-killers are net satisfied with merely getting enough to eat. They want luxuries—delicacies. So a gang of them get together and attack a sperm whale until they make it open its mouth. Then they tear out its tongue. That’s mob attack —warfare. Cynics point to this as an illustration that war is a natural state, that war is being waged con- stantly all through nature. So, they reason, hu- man.war can never be ended. There’s something to be said on the other side. Up north, the timber wolves are pairing off in couples, peacefully sneaking away into caves to raise their young. Next winter, when food will be scarce and hard to catch against a white snow background, the wolves will begin running in packs—their combi- nations for warfare. It is all a matter of food. Wolves never attack humans unless driven to it by starvation. Of all creatures in nature, ants are the most like humans. Ants maintain standing armies, scientifically organized, with officers in charge of regiments and battalions. These ant armies, however, are for defense. Occasionally the ant armies line up and march off to attack another colony of ants. Sometimes this is for the purpose of capturing neighbor ants and turning them into slaves. But 99 times out of 100, ants do not go to war = = = until their food supply give out and they must | conquer a new one or starve. The so-called constant warfare in nature is a simple struggle for existence—to obtain food. As} 30on as food is obtained, war stops. Nature makes food scarce in the animal world because the constant warfare strengthens the) fighters, kills off the weak and inefficient, and| yermits survival only of the fittest. | There was some excuse, in the natural sense, ! cor men warring in the days when it was nip-and- tuck with starvation. But today agriculture, mechanical production ind the system of distribution are developed to he point where there would be more than enough | food for every person on earth if equitably divided. That destroys the basic excuse for war. Any-/ thing interfering with the free flow of food is a| dynamic generator of war. | MONKEYS The powerful gorilla is more like man than any rther kind of monkey. This is reported to the American Society of Mammalogists, by scientists ind surgeons who have been studying the body of | the late John Daniel. John was the gorilla imported a year ago by Barnum & Bailey circus. Chimpanzees, says the report, are friendly, soon secome pets, contented ‘with captivity. They| uso develop a craving for liquor and will steal avery bottle they get their hands on. Gorillas escape at the first opportunity, are :onstantly watching for a chance to “crush out,” ind are prohibitionists, BIRD-MAN An airplane without a motor is being built by Sdmund T. Allen, student, in Boston. He calls it a bird-plane. It is a glider, operated by human | nuscle power, in imitation of a soaring bird. Will you read of Allen’s.death,.in.a week or so, when he makes his first’ flight? Not necessarily. An European glider recently stayed afloat in the ur 21 minutes. The most successful artificial-wing plane will never have a wide market. Civilized man is lazy, does nothing that he can get a machine to do. Then, too, no speed without a motor, and most of 1s are specd-maniacs. PIONEERS Born in Connecticut in 1844, Mrs. Henry F. Pellett reminisces about her marriage 60 years ago. On the wedding day, her husband had only 36 cash, but she says it was ample for paying the minister and honeymooning for a week. You get an idea of how prices have changed, ‘when Mrs, Pellett recalls that tailors made a man’s oat in those days for 25 cents. And the Pelletts’ iving expenses were only $192.45 the first year of their marriage. Wages, however, were correspondingly . small. That’s the joker.

REVIEW THE SUNDAY SLAUGHTER The first June Sunday, luring thousands to take to the open road, also brought its appalling ‘ecord of automobile accidents. Five were killed ‘n crashes and twenty were seriously injured. The record of cars that went over embankments or collided, and of persons thrown through windshields or caught under the wreckage, sounds more like the tale of a battle than of an innocent Sunday holiday. ‘ To the chapter of ‘industrial::arcidepts ithat has long perplexed ‘this, Nation is now added a chapter of pleasure casualties’ cven'more grisly in the tell- ing. If fatalitics from this cause continue to in- srease at the present rate, they will far outdis- tance all the hazards of machine production in the workaday world. Automobile accidents arc, increasing out of all proportion «to other formp of s¢ i ishaps, and a bright Sunday that’ lures’ many enced drivers onto the boulevards, and paved highways only increases the congestion and the fatality records. . When one seeks for remedy, the: problem be-| zomes more baffling. For law, as a means of re- straint, soon reaches its limits. It is difficult for | the State to be assured of the mechanical compe- tence of thousands of drivers, although there is | much to be said for licensing the man at the wheel as well as the car. E And then a too lenient punishment administer- | ed by the courts only increases carelessness. A | five or ten dollar fine in lieu of a more severe pun-| | ‘shment docs little or nothing to enforce the im-| |perative demands cf safety. It is certain that; | neither the courts nor public opinion are severe enough in their attitude toward drivers with a| light sense of responsibility. I It is apparent also that automobile fatalities | ;must come down, if pleasure-driving is not be-)| |come more dangerous than war. Better traffic | ‘erder, licensing of drivers, and heavier penalties |for reckless speed and disobedience of road rules, |may help to check the slaughter. | Beyond these, however, drivers and the public) must come to feel that automobile accidents are an individual and social disgrace. They are just this, for they reflect a barbaric abuse of freedom, when leisure is emple for due restraint and care. | , —Minneapotis Journal.

Editor Tribune: 3 As you have stated in your paper, that you desire to give all sides to your readers of the questions to be voted on in the coming election I wish to say that, I believe that the initiat- cd measure to repeal the teachers minimum training and salary law should be defeated by the voters in the coming election for several rea- sons. The people have said that the doc- tors and lawyers and a number of oth- er professions must have a minimum amount of training before they are allowed to practice their profession in this staté. And the school teacher | .f our state should also be required to have a minimum amount of train- ing. For the training they give the youth must last them their life time. We may need a doctor or a lawyer a few days in our life time. But the training we get from our teacher must guide us for all time and for that reason should be of the highest grade. If the teachers are poor the children will be vocrly trained to fight lifo’s battle. Even if there is but one teacher in a hundred and that one in some out of way place, that is poorly trained and she is allowed to teach, we must realize that there will be in that com- munity as the result of that teacher a whole community of poorly trained youth. : ‘A chain is as strong as its weak- est link. The safetw cf the state and nation depends on the strength of each link or community. We must not be guilty of allowing one weak spot to develop in this great state of ours. The only way we can be reasonably sure of having a strong state is to require its teachers to have a mini- mum amount of training and pay them for their effort by at least giv- ing them a minimum salary to live | on. _ Vote for the rood of the state in the coming election.

The plan of medical education has be- come so standardized and so elevated during the past 25 years that the phy- sician of today is essentially a well educated man, For the foundation a sound high school course of four years embracing 15 units in an accredited institution, must b> had. Although there are spe- cif'c subjects that should be covered even in the high school branches, for- tunately the student need not at that time pay particular heed, for the.cur- riculum of any accredited high schoo! usually contains those subjects. it is most important, though, for the stu- dent, or’those having: supervision. of his education, to know that the high school or academy he attends js ac- credited or: else too late it may be found that much time for valuable work has been lost. In planning subjects for the col- lego course it must always be kept jn mind that medicine is the ultimat: goal for as we ascend the educational Jadder the rungs of choice become more limited and the steps we must take are more precisely pointed out. At the outside there aro two path- ways open to the student. “The onc js enirely required. Jt consists of two years of college work b2fore the entrance to the medical school proper During those two years the balance of subjects leans heavily to the sci- ences as nwich chem‘stry, phy: a biology are required. Tt especially when the college work taken in a school of the university that conducts a medical department, to combine this credit w'th the work of the first two two years of medicine on the study of medicine proper. Th’s method requires two years longer than'the first course but the finished product will be an educated man and | possess values jn medicine that the first will not. It is quite possible to combine with the liberal education sufficient science subjocts to more than meet the entrance requirements of the medical school. The choice of a med‘cal school is most important and tho fact that many of our leading universities con- duct medical departments is a great aid to the student. There is one publ’shed guide that is well to con- sult, that is the annual report of the Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association. gives the class‘fication of the medi- cal schools of the country into the di- visions A, B and C. At the conclusion of the four-year medical course a good, broad intern- ship of from one to one and one-half years is necessary to round out the education of the medic and enlarge his practical experience before his djrect contact with the publ’c.
