More Time To Reflect It is noticeable that the Portland Chamber of Commerce , very recently came out boldly against any plan of wheat ; purchase by the government; that it condemned the Low : den plan of separating: domestic and foreign wheat and taxing the domestic wheat so that wheat prices in United Stales would bo forced to advance. . The Portland chamber sagely remarks that this is not ' sound business, and possibly the chamber is right, but the . thing that attracts attention is when the governmen is considering a movement to aid the wheat farmer, whether the movement be sound or not, we find the Portland 'cham ber standing up against it, but when the ship contracts . Wore let by the government to Portland shipbuilders on the very unsound principle of cost plus 10 per cent that fame Chamber of Commerce applauded the good business .'being done and never raised its voice in protest. ' ; The business game is decidedly amusing. How wrong , a thing can be when the other follow does it and how easy it is to settle down in the cushions and justify the , sume thing when done by someone close to the throne. !' ; This must bo considered regarding Portland chamber's action: That deliberative body had more time to reflect upon tho soundness of the wheat situation than it had when shipbuilding was the sought-for business.

Howard Carter, who is digging King Tut out of a three thousand year slumber, is said to be losing flesh and his health in a general way is breaking. It will be remem bered his partner was slung by some kind of a king's in sect and died soon after tho "sacred" ground around the tomb of Tut was disturbed. Not much wonder those peo ple in Tut's lime believed in goblins and such, even to the extent of thinking their king had power over disease and' deadly insects. That would have been a fine time for some of those crap-shooting negroes down south to have lived. They could have had a thrill every minute.

And it naively adds to Its publica tion that the "public helped." Now no one in dinpOHC-d to lake from the brow of the, postoffico dc partition! uny well earned laurel. Doubtless there nan been achieved I throughout tho nation a higher i standard of service, a grcnter effi I ctent y and a friendliness between ! postal employes and the public not heretoforo achieved. But. by all. tho gods, when one speaka of ' a mailini; early campaign, it is I not the public that helps, it la the public that succeeds. All such movements, from the greatest drive to tho smallest are put over by tho public. The com mittees that start the ball rolling. the bureaus and departments that suggest the project, tho chumbern of commerce and boards of trade oven tho newspapers with their campaigns, are secondary Influen ces. They bring forth an Idea, but the Idea gets nowhero unless the people respond. Homo people may reply to this that tho power of the public is a useless power unless It be directed, "Men in true. There must be thofe to state tho projects, to concen trate the efforts of the masses. Yet ho dependence of the peo ple upon me, committees, boards, bureaus and chambers- Is far less than the dependence of the latter upon tlje people. , When thero is nwd for an idea, for a project, for a drive, for a headquarters to be designated, someone somewhere foels the need and offers his ser vices. There are a thouuund pos sible organizations to guldo and direct but there ts only pno public to act. Ifi tho postoffico depart ment had not outlined an early mailing campaign, be ussured that big mall order houses, or commer cial associations, or Itotaiy clubs or newspapers, or magazines, or news moving pluture services, would have taken up the cry. Hut if the public had not caught the spirit, thero would have been no pushing back of tho peak load. One dislikes to see the Instigator und advertisers pf movement.'! claiming all tho credit. It is not the drive master who collects tt mil lion. It is the peoplo who give i million, it ts not & chamber or commerce which gains an objec tive, but the people who use thu chamber's mnchlnery to gain. it. It is not n city government that builds a city beautiful, but the citizens making use' of their city government. And it was not tho postofrice department that pushed back tho peak load. It was the mul titude of citizens who "mailed 'em early." Let's give credit- where It is due and stop this crying of board of boards, committees and Institutions, "W did it."
