CHIEF LIKE HANNA NEEDED?
Mark Sullivan, special writer for the Portland Oiv
coiiinii, is gettinu old and' erabhy: his. miiid runs in llie
Sid rut anil plainly he believes things are not what they
used to lie when'ifather was a boy.
When .Harding was elected president he said plainly
in his articles "now wc have another JUcKinley;" now he
turns back over the vista of fleeting years, thinks of the
fireplace in the old home, the old peach tree in the back
yard, the strains of music from the family melodeon and
inters the exclamation that this nation needs a .Mark
Ilanna.
If it were possible to fill the orders as Mark gives them
we evidently would be changing officials very uftcii and
with probable bad effect.
Do we need a Ilanna? Admitting that .Mark ilanna
was n great statesman and an able citizen, it is veiy doubt
ful whether Mark Ilanna 's type would fit in the presold
scheme of government. Wo have had a .Roosevelt since
Ilanna and he shattered completely and forever all the
Ilanna precedents that had boon established.
The best evidence that the country Hoes noi wain a
Mark Jlanna as a leader is shown lv the recent election
of Ueveritlge, the defeat; of Campbell and oilier political
eiym that have been appearing of late.
We eoiihl stand another' Koosevelt and the country
feels that it needs such a loader, but Knosovclts are not to
be located in every generation. In the meantime a process
of education should bo started to teach the people to
cease thinking so much about the "government doing it"
and do something for themselves. Once that could bo
driven home, we would not worry so much about not hav
ing a Ilanna or a Koosevelt but would bo content' and de
velop the natural resources of the country at Iho same
time extracting from life .contentment and happiness.

A La Grande doctor tells this story
on himself: After writing u present-!
tion for a patient the physician told;
him that the druggist would probably
charge him HO cents for filling it. Then
the patient asked the doctor to lend
him the money. Thereupon the phy
sician carefully scratcd out a part of
the prescript ion and handed it back
with ten cents, remarking: "You can
have that filled for a dime- What I
scratched out was for your nerve.''
