BESl'ONSIBILITY OF BUSINESS LEADERS One' of the fortunate developments of the last few years is !tha' we are able nowadays to look' an extremely radical idea in the" face without getting the jitteis. V A case in point is the suggestion which Donald Richbeig dropped before the Merchant Association of New York" in hVs recent' speech there the suggestion that unless the directors and executives of big business recognize their so cial' resrn'sibllities, and act on them, they will presently lie elected by the general public and not by the several stock Holders. , , v. Here is a notion which would have earned a man the in delible label of "bolshevik" if it had been voiced as recently as six months ago. Today we are able to look at it calmly and 'to see that'there is a lot of yi . , 1 , , . . . , . , . i . m Mr. neim ana xne siierm e u It comes down, that is to say, to this : we are awakening ' Portland , connection with the case to the fact that the man who directs a large industry occupies ' or the slaying of John Alien, w, of ... , ... . i i . . . .

But their jobs, their bread and butter, their chances to 4 something with their lives, rest entirely on him. To these allied responsibilities we are now seeing the necessity of adding a third responsibility to the public at large. What the industrial executive does affects the whole country, sooner or later. We are in his hands, and if he is a fumbling incompetent we are apt to get dropped. Is after all, so far-fetched to suggest that we ought to be able I to exercise some control over him? I j, The incompetent business man is just as much a parasite on society as the incompetent politician, and society ought to have the power to dispose of him. It would have been the height, of radicalism to say that a year or so ago; today it is Short Speaker At Lions Club Meeting Today C. J.

We wanted to bulltt, our 'bathroom' as close as we could to the one In the Lamson house. . . . "Then all of us tried to fall out of that tub in some way so that we could hit our heads on a wash bowl hard enough to .dash our bruins out. I waa one of the chief actors and I am black anrt blue all over from falling In various ridiculous posi tions." The article said members of the Jury "practiced hitting" with the length of pipe, the prosecution de clared was the death weapon, and concluded by "plain common senso" that the fatal wounds could have been inflicted with the instrument, "There was only one point on which we argued and argued, talked and discussed over and over attain. That was: Did David Lamson kill his wife or was her death an acci- dent.' COVE PERSONALS Mrs, Charles Mangreen returned to Cove Sunday after spending the sum mer at Palo Alto, Cal., with her brother.
