"Jack" MacNider, of Iowa, former, assistant secretary of war under Coohclge and past national1 cuhtmilndur of the Legion, has been nanled minister to Camulrt by President lldover. An extremely difficult and important post, the choice seems very happy. Mr. MacNider is experienced in business, tactrul, ltkenlile. He Will, we nre confident, serve his country with distinction, , Nd one is pni'tietilai'ly to blame for the confusion resulting front La Grande's trial of daylight saving time. A week ago sentiment throughout the business district seemed very niilch in favor of the experiment. The petition that was circulated met with practically no opposition. The city authorities simply acted oii that biiRis and recommended the time as requested by a long llRt of petitioners. It Was the general impression that everyone would set their clocks ahead and go by the hew time, ' Trouble appeared when it was found that this Was not the case. No one anticipated the confusion or objections that have resulted) At least their present extent could not. be ''anticipated. Otherwise the1 plan would probably hevei' hav6 lieen inaugurated. Now it is simply a matter of determining what the majority senti ment is and acting accordingly. . No great damage has' been done by ,fflalj;g,,tho,..tr.hll., : ; .. w -. , The defeat of Mr. Grundy at the hands of Pennsylvania republicans indicates that politics in that slate are not as rotten as we have been load to believe, Mr, Grundy was very successful as a lobbyist. He w!is quite prominent as sen atorial appointee. But as a candidate he is ft flop, He made the mistake of beginning his political career In office. Ap pointed to the senate Without h campaign; the people got acquainted with him while he wlls denied the opportunity of getting acquainted with the people. As is Often the case, voters didn't like the sample.. And Mr. Grundy is out. Which proves there is nothing like tenure of Office to cool early enthusiasms. Campaigns, promises and pre-election reputations lire bright colors that often fade terribly under the strohg light of office occupancy. Oregon people, who were interested in the recent primary election are awaiting the supreme court decision on Joseph's disbarment proceedings with keen interest. Many observers contend that the court will hot dal'e dlsbnr the republican nominee for governor, thilt it will dismiss the case. On the other hand, The Observer is of the opinion that the court cannot fail to follow the recommendation of its referees for disbarment without losing caste throughout the state nnd showihir Its willintrness to be Intlinited bv tiolitleal influ- . , , , t i ii ,1 1,10,1 nrr npt'ritllUK nil tlitvlic;H ences. If the court does not disbar Joseph, the great i ti,m, ,, ,,., ,.,,,, . mriiniittr nf Min,r,,n niH-iimd will fnol Mint Ha rm.rnlu.ra woi'o I 111 11111 " xpivkwiI Hip lie afraid to. Many laymen will come to the conclusion that supreme court justices temper their decisions to conform with polities, that fear Of failure to win reflection changes their minds, that they, do not Constitute a court of law and of Conscience, but a court of expediency. And if Joseph is disbarred, there are many others who will contend it was a vindictive decision influenced by his attacks on the court. ; In either event, the decision will be misinterpreted and un fortunate in its effect on the public attitude toward courts and politics. UNSELFISH USES OK MONEY America needs a past and America needs a tradition. Very well, it will construct one take a town and make it Colonial. And do a good job, too. It is rather staggering to hear that in the twentieth century a Colonial town will be built, lint that is to happen, for Williamsburg, Va., will move back through time and become very much as it was in the war of American independence. Here is another example of the strange interests and re markable generosity of the American typo of Maecenas. There is, it appears, no rich American today who does not have his dreams. And there are many rich Americans. One U4iiy cunuci lunus aim inaunjscj ijt , hiiuuiui may uuy j.iuttib and Rembrants; another may start operas and symphonies; another may build a great library or establish a foundation j for health or aviation; another may revive old dances and I restore old inns, and now John D. Rockefeller Jr., will rebuild ja Colonial town. But none of them is niggardly in his, : dreams. J In the past nabobs have collected treasures and founded j houses, all to their own glory and for their own pleasures. j But in America the urge takes an unselfish expression. ! Somehow they seem to feel intensely that money is fori another purpose than their own. The world has benefited ! by this hunger of rich Americans. It has at its disposal ' humanitarian services that leap over frontiers and objects of j beauty which lright never have been known had not the , mohey been easy to give. j MARKET .NEWS OF THE DAY ENDS SATURDAY MAY 24TH This great get "acquainted week" has brought hundreds of hew'and old customers alike into Our store!
