THOSE WHO FALL BEHIND.
' The philosophers tell people to cultivate contentment. But
it is asked, how people can lie contented, when they see them
selves falling: behind in the world, and finding it hard to ob
tain even the ordinary necessaries of existence? But have
such ones done anything to make their services valuable?
Some of them are newcomers in this country, and do not
even know its language. They can not expect to make pro
gress while that handicap exists. Many of them have never
manifested ambition. They watch the clock eagerly, hoping
for the day's work to be over. It never occurs to them to
fit themselves for any better work, or to do more work or
work of a better quality. It may be said that business con
ditions are so swayed by great aggregations of capital, that
it is extremely difficult for a man to get ahead. Yet every
day we see aliens who have come to this country during re
cent years, who are building up successful business concerns,
in spite of the great handicaps they had to carry. If people
have' the right spirit, it does not take any great amount of
riches for them to find a great deal to enjoy. Cheap enter
tainments bring romance within reach of the humble home.
Kadio instruments at very moderate expense bring one in
contact with good music and amusing entertainments. Li
braries bring good books. Newspapers and magazines are
cheap. The industrious and intelligent workingman in these
times can hope to own an automobile before many years. And
there are many who have little money and have to economize
very strictly, but who have families of children from which
they derive infinite pleasure. Many wealthy men and wo
men would Live all their money, for the affection and inter
est that sunounds these penniless ones.

The election of Dr. Geo. E. Houck, mayor of Iloseburg,
to a vice-presidency of the public health league, organized
tt Medford this week, was highly appropriate. During his
long residence in this city, Doctor Houck has been promi
nently identified with measures for the betterment of sani--liiry
conditions and the safeguarding of public health. In
these activities he has combined the methods of the exeri
enced physician with the principles of a good business man.
As a member of the city council about 15 years ago, Doctor
Houck, as chairman of the health committee, was chiefly in
strumental in bringing about needed improvements in sani
tary matters, and his active interest in this vital factor of
nuiliii-ipal welfare has not waned with the passing years
years in which his professional experience was augmented
villi valuable services in military units, both in this country
and in France. His election to the office of mayor of this
city was not only a tribute to his proved worth as a citizen,
but an expression of confidence in his alrility as a btisiness
man. The unqualified success he has made since assuming
the guidance of the city's affairs has fully justified that con
iidence, and his acceptance of an office of high responsibility
in the public health league is a pleasing guaranty that the
public is to receive the benefit of his valuable services for
many years to come.
o
Appalling as wa3 the fate that befell the Shenandoah,
one regards with almost equal horror the shameless vandal
ism and graft that followed at its heels. Hardly had the bo
dies of the 13 victims of the catastrophe been removed to an
improvised morgue when the wreckage from which they
were taken was visited by a horde of human scavengers who
carried away everything of mechanical and monetary value
that did not overtax their physical strength or the capacity
of their automobiles. "Souvenirs" of the plane were hawk
ed about at 125 cents each, and farmers on whoso land the
wreckage was distributed did not scruplo to charge admis
sion to visitors or for glasses of water to relieve their thirst.
As One contemplates the morbid and commercial instincts
thai dominate a certain class of humans in such times as
this, it is difficult to understand why the elements that pro
duce the tragedy do not also visit condign punishment upon
those who make it an occasion for looting and enriching
thoir poiketbooks.

The Oregon State Medical Society, in convention at Med
fomtliis week, inaugurated a war on the common cold, pre
cetrwl by the assertion of one of its members that the malady
vuU'down the attendance al schools, thereby causing a loss
of Jour per cent in school funds. The advisability of such a
campaign for the physical welfare of youth will hardly be
tiuc.-.lioiicd, but among our adult population the old familiar
cold seems to have mysteriously disappeared with the retire
ment from business of lho.se v. ell remembered professional
jT?it:i, Messrs. Kock and live.
The workingmen whith includes all of us--will
n fwo-day session to rest up from their arduous duties,
makes a worth-while week-end vacation.

Reunion to be held In Port
land, Oregon, September 29,
28, 27. 1925.
A radio program that will
remind every veteran of war
times in France.
PORTLAND. Ore., Sept. .
Powder River-r-r whoop-e-a
Let 'er buek!
They are going to Portland, by
land, sea. and air, the doughboys
of the 91st Division. Its Port
land's turn at last. Seattle has
had 'em. and San Francisco, and
Los Angeles. Now they are to
hold their annual reunion in Ore
gon on the seventh anniversary
of the opening ot the Meuse-Ar-gonne
battle.
The veterans of Portland are
ready for them with a real he
man's program of entertainment.
This will be Oregon's first chance
to entertain the only combat di
vision from the Pacific coast that
fought as a unit, and won Gen
eral Pershing's commendation,
and was selected by him as one
of two American divisions to fight
with the armies of the King of
Belgium in the last great drive.
They are going to Portland to
meet, and slap, and greet, and
dine as they did in that . dear
France apres la guerre.
They will fight again at Very
crossroads, capture Eplnonvllle,
Itanny woods, and wade thru the
hell-fire at Gesnes, where so many
doughboys laid down their lives.
They will argue their way across
and Ypres, take Spitaals Boschen
and Audenarde, and accompany
King Albert once more on his
triumphal re-entry Into Brussels.
It is always a great party
the reunion anniversary of that
cold, foggy morning when the
91st, in the center of an 18-mile
American battle line, took the air
against Fritr for the first t'me.
A million Yanks hit the line that
morning, and the 91st, 20.000
strong, went oer In the very cop
ter of, the first wave. A lot of
them went down, hut the battle
maps and the casualty rolls of
the 1st Prussian Guards Division,
and other German commands rec
ord to history what they accom
plished. A program as follows has been
