Big Business Has Tied a Can to Old Man Pessimism, and if He Tries To Circulate Here Show Him the "Move On" Sign

OEPIIESENTATIVK W2N1SOX,
of Illinois, for eight terms in
congress a consistent voter fur all
dry legislation, is indicted by a
federal grand Jury on a charge of
possession pf liquor, said to have
been brought in from Panama,
where there is plenty of it.
This tickles the wets, It gives
them a nail on which tp hang the
claim that all drys are hypocrites.
TWfEN like Denlson assuming,
iT that is, that he has Cone what
he is charged with doing do more
harm, to the cause of prohibition
than all of Its sincere friends can
undo.
IN Panama, whence Denlson is al
- leged to have brought his liquor,
there are no automobiles, no ra
dios, no electric washing machines,
no fine furniture In the homes of
common, ordinary people.
But, you say. they have PETt-
SONAL LIBERTY. Perhaps. But, if
you have ever been In Panama and
have observed the condition of the
common, ordinary people there,
you will ask yourself just how
much personal liberty has ever
done for them.
JUDGE SKIPWORTH, pronotmc
ing sentence, says that Ivan
Brent, although found guilty of the
charge of involuntary manslaugh
ter, is not a criminal In the com
mon definition of the word, and Is
no worse than many, other motor
ists who violate the speed laws.
That Is substantially true. Tvan
Brent took a chance, and a fatal
and terrible accident followed. Hun
dreds of motorists take a chance
-every day and get away with ft.
IT ERE is the lesson, suggested by
Judge Skipworth, which all of
us should heed:
Every time you take a chance
and violate the laws of safety, you
become a potential taker of human
v 5fo. - :
T Remember that the next time
toil are tempted to Sjie-t-u past an
intersection, or take a curve on the
wrong side of the road, or pass a
car with another car approaching
at high speed.
117 ALL street has just gone
through the worst panic of Its
history, and out of the smoke and
dust created by the Wall street
panic legitimate, constructive busi
ness is emerging sound and un
harmed.
For that you should give thanks
to the federal reserve banking sys

when credit Is needed.

Undermining of Structure
of Nation's Economics
- by Pessimism Will
Be Prevented,
fAuociatod Prow Leased Wire)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. Over
lords of industrial America and
leaders of organized labor today
answered the call of President
Hoover for counsel and coopera
tion in his campaign for stabilized
and stimulated business condi
tions. Men whose firms employ mil
lions of workers and spokesmen of
the workers themselves hastened
to the white house to join the
chief executive in intimate discus
sions of what can be done to pre
vent the recent collapse of secur
ity prices from undermining the
fundamentally sound structure of
American economics.
Notables at Confab
First on t he day's program was
the meeting of industrial leaders,
attended by men bearing such
famous names as Henry Ford,
Owen D. Young and Julius Rosen
thal d.
Secretary Mellon of the trea
sury and Secretary Liimont of the
commerce department were called
into consultation, together with
Julius Barnes, chairman of the
board, and William Butterworth.
president of the United States
chamber of commerce.
Approaching .his problem from
both ends of the economic scale,
the president arranged a meeting
with the labor men for latter in
the day. to determine what place
the workers can take In his gen
eral scheme for sustained busi
ness activity.
War on Pessimism
The primary purpose of Mr.
Hoover's series of conferences,
which already have Included meet
ings with the presidents of the
eastern railroads and -bankerr
from all sections of the country,
is to banish what he has termed
"foolish pessimism' regarding the
fundamental stability of the na
tion's business.
This goal was before him as he
entered upon the consultations
with Industrial and labor leaders.
The chief executive was parti
cularly anxious to avoid the Insti
tution of vicious economic cycle
under which the workers of the
country, the nation's great consum
ing mass, in expectation of hard
times and unemployment, sharply
curtail their expenditures for ne
cessities and luxuries alike and
thus contribute to bringing about
the situation which thev fear.
In addition to Font. Young and

ciative of the efforts being made

together. Howard Carnes made a
brief talk.
Dr. C. H . Ralley, editor of the
Oregon Grange Bulletin, gave con
structive criticism which was sum
med up In his statement that "We
fnrmers and grangers look upon
Roseburg as a market and feel
that you folks here should help us
market our produce. We grangers
will assume entire responsibility
for producing it." Dr. Bailey told
of a survey that was made in La
Grande that ascertained the
amount of farm produce consumed
in that city and stated that such
a survey would he of value here.
"We feel that it Is the duly of the
merchant to find a market so far
as possible, for the things produc
ed in this community," he said.

by the chamber of commerce dur

resident is urged to become a
member of this great organization
by the payment of duos in what
ever amount is desired.
Fifty cents from each member
ship goes to tho national organ!
zatiou, and the remainder Is kept
in the community for local relief
work.
Past Work Recited
As n sample of the way the
money is used. Mrs. Klleu Post,
the local secretary, reports that
last year there were 3,;i members
in the county, and the amount re
tained locally was $172.50.
Expenditures during the year
amounted to $131.14. leaving a
.balance of $f6.fK.
The chief expenditure, Mrs.
Post reports, was the swimming
campaign, sponsored by the local
chapter with Dr. II. C. Church as
chairman. A swimming Instructor
was brought to the cKy and 243
persons were enrolled in regular
classes. Fifty-two passed their be
ginners tests, twenty-one passed
their swimmer's tests, six passed
the junior life saving examination
and 8 per cent of all - enrolled"
learned to swim. This major ac
tivity required an expend I line of
only $70. 4n. Mrs. Pout states.
Veterans Aided
"Another worthy activity," Mm
Post -says, "was that of relief
work among needy and wortbv ex

who were helped over rough fi

"There is also a crying need for
supplies of nearly every desrrln

where ex-service men are b"ing

Idea club made six beautiful bed
tickets from material purchase d
by the Red Cro:is and tb"se were
sent lo the hospitals. This was
done at a cost of Slu.OO.
"Another Important phase of
the work is that of cooperating
with other chapters and organiza
tions throughout the country trac
ing missing men, usually for their
families, and making investiga
tions regarding social histories
which are necessary to justify ex
penditure of Red Cross funds. Our
expenditures in this connection
together with offi administra

add this story to your collection
of true stories about dogs.
And if you doubt the truth of
the story go to the home of C. 10.
Frederlckson in the Grove section
of Roseburg and get acquainted
with Miggs.
Miggs is a young, dog. a cross
between a shepherd and a hound.
Last spring he was given to the
Frederlckson family and soon
made himself a favorite.
Two months ago a field man fov
the bureau of agriculture visited
Roseburg, saw Miggs and pre
vailed on the owners to give iTim
the dog. The agricultural expert
shortly afterward was called to
southern California a thousand
miles away to do Inspection in
the orchards there. Ho took Miggs
along.
But Miggs wasn't Impressed
with the sunny south and he be
came lonesome for Oregon and his
friends here.
So yesterday he came back. His
feet were sore and his claws worn
almost off. But he was happy. II
was at his old home again nnd
among those he loved best.
