January 24, 1908 Consolidated April 1, 1914 Entered as Second Class matter, April 2, 1914 at P. 0. at Kennewick, Wash., under act of March 3, 1879 WORKING STUDENTS As colleges get under way, from the smallest to the largest, the growing list of students who either wholly or in part support them selves while attending, increases each year. There are almost half the men and one-fifth the women in our American colleges who help earn their way through school. Many jobs are forerunners to permanent work. Others are only stop-gaps un til graduation and the student can go out and “burn up the league.” Anything as practical in knowledge as work, whether it comes only as part-time, is one at the best things a college can offer. That Kenne wick boy and girl who has his col lege course given to mm with no res ponsibities attached, lacks the ad vantage of the student who has not \ only the task of keeping up in his studies, but the responsibility of earning the chance to (be in the class room. The printer, William Caxton, who introduced printing into England in 1476 after learning the craft in Bur gandy, now a part of conquered Bel gium, had a greater influence on the form of the English language than any other man before or since, ac cording to Douglas C. McMurtrie, chairman of the Invention of Print ing Anniversary Committee for the International Association of Print lng House Craftsmen. Caxton com plained in one of his prefaces that a man from one town in England asked for “eggys,” while a man from another locality demanded "eyren." Both wanted eggs. Decis ions between alternative word forms made by Caxton while printing his books, according to McMurtrie, oe- \ termined forever the form of those words in the English language. 1 The first Gutenburg Bible, known to experts as the 42-line Bible be cause there were forty-two lines on each double column page, was pub lished in Mainz about the year 1455. It contained 1282 pages. ..., is esti mated that about 150 copies of this first important book were printed. Only 41 .reasonably complete copies are in existence today and virtually all of them are owned by public in stitutions. Should a copy of the 42- line Bible ever come up for public sale, it would command a price some where in the neighborhood of a quarter of a million dollars. In our opinion one of the things that has retarded employment in this country more than any other one cause is the legislation that has affected business and industry and placed upon it new taxes and new restrictions. The result has been that capital has become afraid to invest in industry and has gone into hiding to remain until the storm blows over and conditions become normal. The wiser course would have been to have first gotten in dustry back on its feet where it could employ men and women, and after they had jobs begin to think and plan for the mcro abundant life Every business and professional man is entitled to a fair charge for his services The public will take a man’s shirt if he is fool enough to give it away and then when his productive years have ended and he is laid quietly away in the village cemetery, leaving the widow noth ing.willsayofhim,he wasagood fellow but a poor business manager. He never seemed to get anywhere. After he is gone he gets no credit for the fact that he sold his serv ices too cheaply. Any business man who has brought to his business, intelligence, industry. long applica tion and good business principles should be able to enjoy the last years of his life without the neces sity of applying to his local welfare office for old age assistance or mortgaging his home and living it up. It is smarter business to get what a service is worth even though Ten Years Hence . . . Will your automobile insurance company be in business ten years from now?

Considerable satisfaction is de rived by everyone to whom one talks over the new development in ’the European war, Hitler, who in ’the past bragged of his powers in dropping bombs on noncomvbatants }and machine gunning refugee men ‘and women and children and Red Cross ambulances is getting a taste of his own medicine. The English are paying back in his own coin by dropping a few hundred bombs on Berlin and German factories. The English are too good sports, how ever, to machine gun men, women and children as Hitler’s soldiers were ordered by him to do. We approve, without qualification the acquisition of the six naval and air bases by this government in ex change for fifty-over-age destroy ers. The bases have inestimable strategic value from the standpoint of defense to this country and the fiity destroyers given in exchange for them will continue to keep de mocracies frontier battle line on the English channel. The laugh seems to be on Musso lini. He refrained from entering the war until he thought Hitler had it won. The failure of Hitler to crush England in a few days as he promised to must cause the Duce many troubled dreams. The only thing we really like about a dictatorship is that when a ‘dictator ruled nation goes to war ‘every one serves alike, the soldiers the industries and the workers. There is no reason that any one has ever been able to give why one man should be called upon to serve in the army for S3O a month and an other remain at home and earn eight or ten dollars a day in some safely protected industry. If liber ty is to be defended all should de fend it, young men, mechanics and industry. All should. be treated alike and none should profit. In this respect dictatorships are more democratic than the democracies themselves. At their. forty-first national en campment in Los Angeles the Vet erans of Foreign Wars adopted res olutions asking for the deportation of Harry Bridges and the dismissal of Frances Perkins The country is pretty generally in accord with the sentiments expressed in these reso lutions The high school of Kansas City, Missouri, has added a course in welding to its curriculum. This is an innovation from Caesar and cal culus, but our prediction is that within the next twenty years most of the larger schools of the country will have sues practical manual training courses. We will be teach ing men how to work with their hands instead of turning out clerks and bookkeepers and typists from our schools. into a world already greatly over supplied with such skills. The movement has been too long delayed. Lets teach the young to work with their hands and brains rather than making phonograph records of them by storing up in their minds 9. lot of abstract facts to be released by pressure on a button. Let’s teach them how to make a living in the world that we all know they are going to have to live in. GOALS T 0 NEWCASTLE! Talk about carrying coals to New castle!
