Finishing the Job
We are impressed with the mini who is willing, lifter the band
ceases to play, to finish the job, whatever it may be. Lii Grande
has such a citizen in the person of W. II. IJotitienVnmp, Sr.'. Not
long ago we planted three hundred trees on Victory Way. It was
a gala day and the town turned out. The holes wwe dug, the trees
were planted and everything apparently was finished. But, like
every other job, there were a few things to do to make the under
taking complete. -In" this case there had to b stakes secured
three for each tree, and they had to be set in' the ground on an
angle, and the top of those stakes the tree had to be anchored, so
that winds would not loosen he ground around the roots.
Mr. Bohnenkamp, with his usual thoroughness, planned the
slakes and the way they should be driven. Then he took old auto
mobile tires and cut them up into about four inch pieces. One of.
these rubber pads goes around each young tree to anchor it prop
erly. Each year tha binder that holds tie piece of tire around the
tree will be loosened to make loom for growth,
It is a big job to thus care for the three, hundred trees, but it is
the proper care. It takes the liohnonkamp thoroughness to do tho
job and do it properly.
Relurn of Chamberlain
Former Senator George Chamberlain has resigned his job with
the United States Shipping Board. There is nothing strange about
this for it was a job unsuited to Chamberlain, and probably was
accepted by him only for the salary of a thousand a month which
it produced. But, it is now stated that Chamberlain will re-enter
Oregon politics. Perhaps he will and perhaps not. The strongest
political support for the individual shatters and wanes the moment
he is out of the limelight; the great John J. Ingnlls throuht he
could come back after being out of the senate, but he failed;
everyone knows the story of Charles Fulton, who was probably
the greatest senator Oregon ever had.
. Chamberlain is lucky politically, but he will find when he opens
headquarters for another fight that a lot of his former supporters
hnve died, boys have grown to manhood, who. know little about
ChamberlairiJarid strangers have come to' the stale who never bean)
of the senator as an Oregon man.
His entrance into Oregon politics may be like, the old English
man who lived forty years in America ever cherishing the hope of
returning to Engla.nd and eating an English plum pudding. His
desire was finally gratified and he found that, the plum pudding
was not what he had expected at all.

HEAVEN AND EAUTH
' Taconiu Mews Tribunei A minister
or national repute wants people to
"pay less attention to the future life
and mora to life on this earth." He
insists that "the important thin; is
to improve life here."

any reasonable plane of thinking.

this, und the practical opinion of

Amos Tush says the game of love
is never culled one account of darkness.
The unhappy young woman who attempted to commit suicide
last week because of her anguish at being forced to leave Now
York City to go to live with her husband in a small Ohio town suf
fered in an exaggerated degree from an ailment that is not uncom
mon. She preferred death to life in a village. There are many
men as well as women who, while not prepared to take so drastic
a remedy, consider it a great misfortune to have to live in a small
community. Cities, especially, of course, New York, appeal to
them as containing everything that tends to make existence pleas
ant. It might bo pertinent to quote Milton's words to those who
are discontented because they tlo not live in the city:
The mind is its own place, and in itself
Can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.
Tho small town hits numerous advantages which the larger
community lacks. There is more sociability in the village. Life is
Jess complex there ale fewer problems to be solved. Living ex
ponscs are lower. It is to be feared, however, that the discontented
are not always philosophical enough to appreciate Milton's wisdom
, and that their eyes have been so dazzled b ythe glamor of the great
"Urban center that they are blind to the beauties and attraction of
a rural community.
Ono reason for this great longing to live in New York is that
fiction writers have used it so extensively as the scene of their
stories. Interesting and delightful things, not experienced else
where, befall one in tho metropolis, according to the novelists. The
city attracts some because it is a new center and they want to be.
in the thick of things.
Imagination has a great deal lo do with making city life appeal'
so delightful to dwellers in smajl towns. With the truth concerning
conditions more widely diffused there will lie less discontent of the
kind that prompted the girl to seek death.

there Is any such place or state at

it, and anyone who wants to be hap

AMERICAN UNITY
Memphis News-ScimlUir: In one
edition of the paper a few days ago
we read where one Klun and three
Catholic candidates were elected in
a municipul election in East St.
Louis, where the Klan was an issue
in an election in Petersburg. Vu..
where George Washington university
was divided into hostile groups of
Man anil anti-Man.
In higher momenta Americans love
to talk of their unity und of tho
common action and nsnirations that
nr.ve been the basis ot the, nation s
achievements. Is it possible that the
lesion in American unity is being;
lost? Is not unity ns important in!
pence us in war? Surely it is not ,
necessary thut there must be a na
tional crisis before the men and wo-1
men of this country can become as
