If Mellon Would Run Ladies and Hairdressers Don't Imitate Nature ! By Arthur Brisbane 1 (Copyright 1928 ay Star Company) Mr. Moody, head of the well known Investors' Service, tells you, through' Cyrus H. K. ' Cutris' paper, that Wall Street bears will wait a long time for lunch. Ride with the U. 3. A., quotes he. We have had a wild time since 1923. But that will seem wild compared with good times that are ahead, in the next five years. The old days, when the in siders put prices up, . "distrib uted" stocks among the lambs, then knocked down prices, are gone. This is a new era.' The poor bears don't 'know what it means for us .to be a creditor nation, for the first time, or what it means to have our industries,, railroads and natural resources developed to so high a degree. But, Mr. Moody, like every other wise man, would say to you "don't gamble." Some will get rich in the next five years; nome, including gamblers, will become poor. Corn is selling for $1.25 n bushel. It sold once for less than 25 c, and farmers burned it because, it was cheaper fuel thnn Coal. Wheat is climbing towards $2; cotton is double what it was a little while ago, when this writer advised the learned Clar ence Dillon-to buy a million bales, of it. Beneath the country is a lake Df oil and there is plenty of gold in the mountains. Don't sell this country short. We are still exporting gold and a wise German economist warns the world it is producing less than half the gold it needs. That should make American gold dollars gradually worth more. But if all the gold van ished the loss would not be great, except to denists. We do not eat it and only imagine it is money. If iron, water or, especially, oxygen, should become scarce, that would be a different story. There is- so much political news that even an outline would be too long, like Wells' Outline of History. Pennsylvania might go to o strong wet, except that the workers easily get all the beer they want under pseudo-prohibition. , ' Many of the wise ones in Washington br.lieve that Mr. Mellon will be nominated if the president persistently refuses. Mr. Mellon has passed 70. But he is able to look after this na tion's money affairs, and would be well able to run the While House business. r He is much younger than Gladstone, when" the latter sat up all night in the House of Commons fighting his home rule battle with fierce energy. It is the man, not the age that counts. And the presidency is not a ditch-digging job. It de- -.I- k; ...,.;.,, wic. dom and will. Mr. Mellon has all four, highly developed and could be elected easily. The difficulty is that he does not want the job.

Charles Reign Scovillo, world Tamous evangelist, yesterday con ducted three great meetings in the new edifice. The financial drive came to an end at the service last night and It was announced that cash and pledges amounting to approximately $21,400 had been re ceived. The chinch hud set a goal of $12,000, the amount necessary to care for the immediate needs of the building effort, but this amount was almost doubled in the pledges and cash offerings that were taken in. : 1 The morning session was a great day In the church history, with a huge crowd responding enthusiastically- to the ilcd leal km plea. At the morning hour Dr. Scoville preached a masterful sermon In which he developed the thought of the greatness of the church, which has played such a prominent part in the history of the country, stat ing that God has worked out hiB purpose through, the uses- largely through die church.' ,' '.-' At the conclusion of the service the teams that have been conduct ing the canvass of the membership made their reports and a call was made tor pledges to push the fund forward to the goal. Deeming It a privilege and pleasure to have some part In such a laudable un dertaking nhe audience responded to Dr. Scoville's appeal in a mar velous manner and the effort that followed resulted In the raising of thousands of dollars In cash and pledges. Many of the leading busi ness Tirms of the city made large cash contributions and were round ly applauded for their liberality. Visitors Present In the afternoon another great service was held, given over large ly to the visiting ministers and laymen. Dr. Louis Albert Banks, a retired minister of national repu tation, and one of the most out standing authors and lecturers of the country, spoke on behalf of the other ministers and churches of Rosebu'rg.

DEDICA CHURCH Methodist Episcopal Meet Assails Immigration Law, Prays For War-Torn China fAMoHattd Yrt-n tiavd Wln) KANSAS CITY, May 7. The Immigration policy of the United States as regards exclusion was as sailed and the admission of all na tionals on a quota basis was urged in a resolution adopted by the quadrennial general conference ot the Methodist, Episcopal church here today. The resolution, presented by Dr. E. Stanley Jones, Missionary to In dia, gave hearty approval to the restriction of Immigration bat con demned the exclusion of some na tionals as an "insidious. unAmerl can and un-Christlan policy."

The conference halted In the midst of its business session for a Durant's Nine Great Thinkers Exclude Christ (Associated Press LrasnA Win?) NEW YORK, May 7. A new listing of the great thinkers of all time, ragiug chronologically from Confuclous to Darwin by omitting Christ, was presented today by Will I Jura nt, author and philoso pher. Plato, Aristotle, Spinoza, Coper nicus, Francis Ducon, Newton, Kant nnd Voltaire were the other eight men on the list. 'Jesus Christ, Moses, Caesar and other such leaders were think ers secondarily," said Durant. 'They were primarily moral forces, reformers, or men of action. Christ moved the world by feeling rather than by thought." Socrates is too much of a myth for such a list, he said, and Ec cliastes, tho greates thinker the Jews have produced, would scarce ly rank with the worlds' greatest. The great Indian philosophers "are all of the woozy kind because they turned away from the world In their seeking, after truth." The list was given In an ad dress before the congregation of the free synagogue in Carnegie hall. ,S, (ARSootatorl I'ross Lonwil Wire) NEW YORK, May 7.
