OUT OUR WAY By WILLIAMS Trying to catch up with their installments may he the reason some aulomobilists drive so fast. The war taught the world economy in everything. A I'.ritish scientist says the average person uses only abouft Mie-nalf of his brain. A physician attributes the fact that today n woman of forty "looks twenty" to her habit of "casting away supei flous clothes." If the process is progressive it may not be long before she'll look like a mere child. Yesterday's Oregon Journal was fittingly decorated oa the first page with a three column group of three Wallowa Wonderland pictures, presented to show those who will jnake up the Portland caravan July 4th what Eastern Ore gon holds in prospect. Those of our metropolitan visitors who have never seen the Wallowa country will have a new appreciation of Oregon scenery when the trip is ended. the warning ol Senator ress, Ohio, against a mania for legislation" as expressed yesterday before the National Clt'dit Jlen's Association is all right; but we need cxpres sions of that kind on' the floors of these legislative bodie.i while they are in session, not outside during a recess. Th public already knows there are too many laws and too much law making. It's to the legislators of the country that we need to impart that knowledge. Speaking before a state fair crowd at Minneapolis thro? years ago, Calvin Coolidge, as vice president, was interrupt ed by his hearers and somewhat harassed because he was delaying the race program. A few days ago he spoke in the same place in the same city with thousands sitting as most courteous hearers. And Coolidge is probably as poor a speaker now as ho was in 1922. lie's gone on step farther up the ladder but it was a long step. FORGOTTEN. When the death in England of Ion Perdicaris was an nounced many of the best-informed wondered who this man was to attract such full recognition from the press. And others who had once heard of the man became aware of the fact that ho had not died years ago only through the announcement that his death had just taken place. This man, who has been unknown and forgotten for twenty years, once was the cause of an international crisis. For his protection even battleships went scurrying neros3 the ocean. Almost as suddenly he disappeared into oblivion, to remain there for two decades until his recent death. In 190-1 Perdicaris was kidnapped in Morocco by a band of natives under the leadership of the bandit chieftain Itaisuli and held for ransom, lie had been born in the United States and, although then living in Tangier, he had retained his American citizenship. The American govern ment negotiated with the Moroccan government for tin; ransoming of Perdicaris without results. At the time Theodore Koosevelt was president and John Hay was secretary of state. On June 22, 1901, Secre tary Hay cabled the Ameiican consul at Tangier: "We want Perdicaris alive or Uaisuli dead." Simultaneously two battleships and two gunboats proceeded to the African coast. British warships were also ordered to the scene. Without further delay the Moroccan government obtained the release of this obscure American citizen. The Hay ultimatum was sent during the Republican na tional convention in Chicago. Roosevelt was then serving out the unexpired term of the martyred President MeKin ley. ' Tho reading of the message before the convention left no doubt that Roosevelt would be nominated. , h- TVV HAFF BREE.O GUIDE. AM I'M A ROVlL MOUNTTE.O POV-ICE-AN NE.
