THOU SHALT LOVE THE LORD thy Ood with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and will all thy mind; and thy 'neighbor as thyself. Luke 10:27. Kellaher s Convention The political wheel turns 'round and 'round. Dan Kella her, who when Statement No. 1 was in flower, electrified the people of Multnomah county with his "let the people rule," has come back. Sure as the world, Dan is back. From his Rip Van Winkle slumber caused by a crushing defeat in city politics Dan has grasped the La Follette banner and, listen he has called a convention. Can you get that? Dan Kellaher calling a convention. He has done that very thing. Together with George L. Cleaver and others of a "progressive" nature, Daniel has bid farewell to popular government, stricken from his con science the one stereotyped phrase of "let the people rule" and now he stands forth before the public view as a con vention1 man; willing to assemble and converse over men fend things in general. .,.,, " ; Again we say the wheel has turned 'round. Ycare ago "in the, legislative hulls Dan Kellaher was a spokesman of the people, an exponent of "every man voting as he d d field .in nis Home city ol Portland. "Public Service " Dan, as he once was known from the fact that he was 'hitler against the public utilities, has recognized a path in the political forest. He sees a great light and he is following it. To him the day has arrived when a convention is not such a bad thing, after all, and he believes that his ability us a public leader, as a statesman and a.-, .a mau whose . heart beats for the poor down-troddeii citizen can ber.t be utilized in a convention. Now, that is what we call a great change in humanity. Dan is not seeking office. He never did, for the office always sought Dan, but he is coming forth washed us pure as the snow and with his genial personality and happy smile evidently hopes to purify the convention and make it fit to serve humanity once more. Bought and Paid Jor The press, the magazines, governments and the public, here and abroad, are discussing more vigorously than usual the "market" of titles and honors. The British parliament is investigating the alleged bartering of titles. American magazines quite recently discussed the mercenary met hods by which our colleges and universities lestov their honor ary degrees. Our own congress has within the calendar year inquired into the Rolling of our national political honors to large contributors to the party campaign funds. Hogus universities here and in Europe, which have lioen selling professional degrees to the unqualified, were exposed dur ing the past year. It is not surprising that the public is nlmost convinced that a degree means little or nothing and 3 Irr'rr'ifhTvl pr!- for Wq. il w u'!P Ires ir;;ini d m medieval hfrttorv wo mirrht kok back r.ither uivifully and. perhaps, reirretfullv to that age when "knighthood was in flower." Hut we have been 1. ng since disillusioned. The only difference between the days of King Arthur and the days of the American am bassadors is that the "knights of the round table" purchased their coat of anus with wariors for the armies of their king Mid twentieth century titles and honors are for sale to those who can render political service, particularly of a financial nature. We do ourselves a gross injustice to credit the present with the debasement and corruption of titular honors. As long as there have been public honors there have been men and women who have annexed them by fair means or foul. Modernity can party justify its "honor market" with the more or less siH'cioiis explanation that ait ln-m-fited when John D. llockefeller and the king of Spain were elect ed to the rrcneh Academy of Arts m recognition of their financial contributions lo the cause of art. We can In thankful that the honors and titles listed on the market today arc not more significant than honorary degrees and political appointments.
