ROSEBURG, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1026.
MAKING PEOPLE THINK
Some parsons of a very cynical disposition deny that the
majority of people do any considerable amount of thinking'.
Vhcy believe that the majority go about .their occupations in
i routine way, doing what they are told to do, but not putting
Ihcir brains on their work. Many of us here in Roseburg
have heard that opinion expressed by some of our pessimists.
They feel that when all these folks have to act as citizens,
they accept with little question the things that their lead
ers or their favorite newspapers tell them. Their amuse
ments, it is complained, are too passive. They watch others
do things while they sit inactive in grand stand seats and at
shows, without developing their originality by doing things
themselves. There are many quiet people who do a lot more
thinking than they get credit for. They are not good talk
ers, but underneath their reticence they have shrewd ideas.
Certain forces are stirring the mentality of these folks. They
go to school longer, for one thing. Many who 25 years ago
would have quit school very early, are no going wholly or
part way through high schools. There they come in contact
. with the larger problems of the community. The newspa
pers and the churches and the radio are three great forces
that are helping people to think. They show people how
they limit themselves when they move around in little nar
row grooves. People should feel that their chances for suc
cess and self improvement are greatly imnroved when they
form the habit of reading one or more good newspapers. In
telligence costs practically nothing in these days, except a
willingness to give one's time. Those that are too indiffer
ent to the things that are going on to give that time, pay a
heavy price for their neglect - ' ; . "

'A, BEAUTIFUL CHARACTER'
Portland Journal : In a hazy way, the public has known
eiUhe malady with which Mrs. Laura Pierce has battled since
- long before her husband became governor of Oregon. It has
. not known of the patience, the fortitude and the Christian
spirit with which she faced the dread alternatives of an in
' curable disease. Cheerful always, even when the inssue was
going heavily against her, she battled on, toiled on, wrought
" on. Born in Oregon, of good old pioneer stock, with her
outlook broadened by an excellent education, she was, in
.womanhood, wifehood and motherhood, of that splendid type
the old fashioned woman at her best. Her home was her al
tar, where the fires were ever kept burning. Her family
- was her world, a world that she beautified with all the graces
and devotion of mother, wife and friend. No words that may
be spoken will adequatnly picture the gentleness of her na-
. ture, the delightful touch of her influence or the beauty of
her Bpirit. A commonwealth lays its sympathy at the feet
of the bereaved executive and his family. ,

Douglas County. During the paat
three weeks a total of about 'ion
such Inquiries were received and
the small bulletins sent out. As
the tourist season approaches It Is
certain thai there will be an In
creasing demand for Itouglaa
county literature. The matter of fi
nancing the publishing of the

Its very seldom that a mayor

the one who holds that official po

George Houck will be greatly sur
prised when he scans this colyum
tonight and reads a few kind words
about himself. But folks, Its an
easy task to hand a bunch of
American Beauties to the doctor.
We've known him ever since Heck
was a mve purp. He Is fulflllin'
his office as mayor In a most
creditable manner and the citizens
are assured of a fine administra
tion with him at the helm. The
mayor ie a real American citizen.
In spsakln' of him, one cannot es
cape mention of his brilliant war

to doVi the olive drsb and served
his country faithfully durln' the
entire argument. He la just a

and eve guess that la why ha la ad

plaoe at the head of the govern

In you, doctor and therefore place

FRANCE IN NEED
OF FOREIGN LOAN
PARIS. Mar. 11. A foreign loan
of four or five billions of francs to 1
enable the treasury to pay its ob
ligations promptly Is France's
fundamental need In tbe present
and approaching financial crisis,
says Louis Loucheur in an inter
view published by Le Journal. The
pIer had appealed to him as an
outstanding expert In finance, to
suggest a way out for the country,
facing the maturity of twenty-three
billion francs worth of securities
this year. v
If the treasury bad sufficient
margin to enable- It to meet
promptly all demand for payment,
everything soon would go smooth
ly M. Lgucheur said. '
"Bondholders who demanded re
imbursement would be the (lrsb t
bring back their, money to the
treasury If they saw that the treas
ury was pnxjng. It is In fact a
question of confidence."
Unfortunately the government
had raised the Interest rates on
Its recent loans so that the prob
lem of refunding had become dif
ficult and burdensome, but, he ad
ed, "I know that a foreign loan is
passible Aid 1 believe it Is neces
sary." This loan also, he added, would
provide means for a campaign to
