Two of the country's men. Death the old Itfveler; death no respcclor of persons, wealth, position or standing, ifi'thers them in whether they be men who drive the scavenger wagon or occupy high and exalted positions. Hut after all, death is a process of life and practical men now look on it as such The active man, working as host he can end delivering to Immunity the hesl that is in him, does not fear death. In the case of Franklin K. Lane this nation loses one of its brightest minds. Koosevelt found him in California and put him in national service. Lane never ceased working, lie was one of the finest orators the country has ever known and he was a hig man in every way ' ' Chief Justice While tilled that -high place in American life only to he filled by the finished scholar, the polished gentle man, the patriotic man of service. For when a man Is elected to the bench in this nation he is elevated, positively elevated nbove the din or ordinary life. And it should be so, for when on the bench lie is called upon to deliberate and draw the line conclusions which duliver justice to contending parties. ! America is fortunate in always having men to lake 'the places of those who go, but nevertheless when such men as Justice White and Franklin K. Lane pass on they leave vacan cies only to be properly filled by earnest and sincere search. I" AND THE FLOODS CAME The law of average must always apply. When dry condi tions have obtained fur several seasons there is sure to come a season with a surplus of moisture. Nature has her own way of evening up things and when a period of ten or twenty years is considered the rainfall will be about the. same as the same period prevhnis. ,' . : This Heems to be the year that old Mother '.'attire is pay tng up what she owes to Eastern Oregon in the way of water. Water, water, water everywhere. Crops are being injured, roads are being washed out, work is being delayed, transportation has Already begun to suffer from the floods. And still il rains. According ley the weather one would think that the Willamette valley had been removed to this side or the mountains a pun ishment, if true, which would drive all Eastern' Oregon into the hills of Idaho or the prairies of Montana. --' Union county is Buffering from excess rains nn7 the end is not in sight. It is one of those bumps which hit us occa sionally. In fact life, as the general scheme indicates, is meet ing tho bumps and not basking in the sunshine of even progress; This is one of the bumplly bumps. FALSE PROSPERITY Nothing, perhaps, linn dune more to make pcnplo tolerant of war thun the notion that war hrliiK prosperity to a country. The American people have lived through sewra) years of that. fallacy, and are, now coming to n realization of .thf.Vulh.i ' ! '!:' , ftWar hrinira jrood times!"

And when no reac tion appeared Immediately after the arniUtice, ninny penplo were snre that all the talk nlmut wur's costli ness was liosh. Kverybodv was mnk lti(r money, and the prosperity was irn. to last Indefinitely. Things cost more, hut there was enough ninri;in of profit to make hourly 'everybody betler off than evur before.

That somebndv means just r.liont everybody. The payment means harder work anil loss comfort for many years to come, Thnt holds true even for the one, nation which, ditr- hip a lnrire pare of the war, worked profitably without evident sacrifice, and which spent n the war u far lower proportion of tta wealth than the other powers did. This present period of depression, "tnuuntion und loss is a time of mora stock Inking, and the more it afflicts employers and employees, rich and poor, Ihe less stock any nf the n lire Ktiinir to take in war hereafter.
