IT WASN'T A cousin of Mark Twain denies that a Thomas Sawyer who died the other day in Arizona was the original Tom Sawyer of Mark Twain's books. "There was no real Tom Sawyer," says the cousin. "He was a composite character, more Mark Twain himself, perhaps, than any other indivi dual, but no particular person." Biographers have come to the same conclusion. Tom Sawyer was born and raised in Mark Twain's own soul, and it is useless to try to identify hint as this or that boyhood chum of his creator. He never was a flesh and blood individual. Yet today Tom Sawyer, the figment of Mark Twain's imagination, is far more real than any of the men and women who grew up in Hannibal, Mo., half a century ago. He has become immortal; and in the process he has taken on substance and reality. A cen tury hence he will bo just as much alive as he is today. Our children's children will have him for a playmate. That, when you stop to think about it, is rather amazing. An ex-steamboat pilot takes pen and paper and writes the story of ; wholly imaginary character; and long after he himself har died, this imaginary lad continues to tug at the heartstrings of boys and girls and men and women just as if he were ' really alive. Tom Sawyer has become eternal; with the dis reputable Huck Finn he will forever continue to be the des pair and darling of the perennial Aunt Pollys of this world. But that is the way this world is built. Ideas are far more enduring than anything else man can create. They outlast empires, tall buildings, great dynasties and mighty cities. Ancient Troy is a rubbish heap and old Ithaca a name, but Helen still lives. Columbus' fleet has gone on an everlasting voyage to shadowy seas, but the idea that Col umbus followed has changed the world's history. We often think that we live in a materialistic age. To our factories and office buildings we give the rapt attention the Greeks gave to white temples. We are highly business-like and ef ficient; we boast that America is a place for the doer, not the dreamer. Cut we need not bo too cocksure. Our whole nation is only the embodiment of the drfeams. dreamed by Washington, Jefferson and Adams. As a people we are a living symbol of the permanence of ideas. For our Tom Sawyers always outlast their creators. It is useless to hunt for 'their originals. They will not survive -unless they began as. figments of the imagination. : . -,.. -,.;.., - -. U ' 1 nl" ir (:.:. . '. A fine of $350, jail imprisonment for 120 days and can cellation of driver's license for one year, all combined--the penalty meted to one culprit in Roseburg justice court Tues day may appear at first like excess punishment for a single offense, but it was well deserved for the character of tho' violation, that of driving an automobile on the public highway whilo undor the influence of intoxicating liquor. These cases are becoming too frequent in spile of tho un remitting warfare on their underlying cause bootlegging. Perhaps the rentence imposed on tho latest offender, accom panied by the public declaration that all similar violations will meet with punirfu vjnt fully as severe, may have n wholesome effect on ultra-thirsty motorists, at least within the jurisdiction of that magistrate. Fine and jail sentences may not cure the drink habit, especially as long as liquor is obtainable, but the throat of revocation of driver's permits will unquestionably result in the exorcise of more care in tin Use of the highway. For. this the law-abiding and naturally careful class of nilloists will be thankful. And especially grateful they probably are in realizing that for the next twelve months at least their danger in this locality from be ing killed or crippled has been reduced by the ban on ono bbozo addjet. ' o - -t: Victory in its long fight to secure a deeper and wider channel to the sea has certainly imbued Portland with en thusiasm and optimism. On the heels of Secretary of State Kozer's announcement Unit at the end of this year Oregon would bo in the "hole" from $1,500,000 to $1,'.)0(),000, Port land launches a slate-wide campaign with the slogan, "J.el's Go Ahead, Oregon." That's the spirit that overcomes ob stacles. -Portland simply refuses to feel "blue " litvnuso tli3 sjnte is in the "red." It's a good example for the re.tt o' the stale lo follow, but press comment and satire indicate tfint some localities are not disposed to follow Portland's luutl. This failure to pull together, chiefly because of .sec tional jealousy, industrial rivalry or imaginary grievances; ill impair our progress and contribute to the gain in hfnv settlers in Washington and California, where they recognize t)o value of state-wide cooperation and prntic il accord ijKl.V. ; o Tho city cf Houston U making groat preparations for (fie 'Democratic convention, wording to news dispatches.
