A MILLION AND A HALF
THE FORMAL announcement of
the Hawley Pulp and Paper mills
to the efect that more than a million
and a half is soon to be expended in
the installation of new machinery
with the Idea of practically the doub
ling of the plant, would have no lit
tle effect in aiding the determining
of whether or not business is on the
way to a normal basis.
There are always fluctuations in
stocks and money markets. Slight
changes, at a time when the financial
condition Is stringent, appear to be
be very material. The best index,
however, is the rate at which new in
vestment is being made.
Milions are being spent over the
entire country by the railroads in ex
tensions and in the purchase of new
equipment. With a difficult financial
situation pending, these expenditures
would not be contemplated. Big busi
ness cannot proceed upon the basis of
forced optimism.
Since the war there has been a con
stant cry for a return to that mythi
cal condition of "normalcy." It is
probably true that prices will never
go back to the pre war level.. But
they will become relatively adjusted
to wages and costs of production, and
when the ration is similar, normalcy
will have been attained.
The American public generally has
become chary of "signs," and "indi
cations," because of the long stories
of improvement which have come
ceaselessly from the press and the
lips of economists. But the facts to
day are showing that these focecats
did not go amis. Those with the vis
ion and who were in a position to
assess the trend of economic affairs,
were right in their judgment that
there was to be no setback, and that
no matter how close financial disaster
came, the nation would weather the
storm. The slowness of the improve
ment has dimmed the confidence of
many in thase prognostications. The
current facts should be sufficient.
Oregon City is perhaps as good a
condition as any city in . the nation.
We are told that the salvation of re
adjustment lies in more building and
increased manufacturing activity,. In
the same breath comes the assurance
that nowhere in the country is there
more building, and more progress
than in this particular district, bound
ed by a circle of fifty miles.
A transatlantic glance gives Am
erica the vision of much to be happy
for. A look over the national situa
tion can give Oregon. City cause to
rejoice. It is no super-optimism, this,
but calm statistical assurance of an
upward trend in business.
UNETHICAL
rjnHERE ARE PEOPLE who shun
publicity. There are certain per
sons who dislike to have .their iden
tity become patent. And yet, it Is
axiomatic in the journalistic world
that the most appealing feature about
any newspaper is the particule story
with your own name the picture
which shows your; own face. If this
be true, F. J. Tooze, publisher,, editor,
chief reporter, manager and copy
reader of the Banner-Courier, should
have no complaint about his own edi
tion of November 9. -
The Banner-Courier is a weakly
publication issued at Oregon City
every Thursday or Friday. In the
above cited issue, on its first page,
among other things it contained: five
one column three Inch cuts of the
newly elected representatives, the
county judge and commissioner elect
and a two column six inch cut of Ye
Editor himself, the latter gracing
the top of the page while the others
are scattered in the lower parts of
the columns.
Mister Tooze is to be compliment
ed for his modesty. Mindful of the
fact that newspaper men seldom
" flaunt their own John Henries, he is
still more certain of the value of
printers ink as a popularity promot
or. He neglected however, to note
in the cut caption that he polled the
smallest vote of any unopposed candi
date on the county ticket, and that
in one instance, the contest for cir
cuit judge, the sucessful candidate
piled up a larger ballot in the face of
opposition than the former council
man. -
If Mister Tooae were Miles Stand
ish. Mister Tooze, at the same time,
would make a splendid John Alden.
THE CANCELATIONISTS
IT SEEMS LIKELY that too much
public attention has been given
to the subject of repayment of the
debts due from European countries
to the United States. This has prob
ably been due to the fact that on this
side of the Atlantic a number of
prominent men have been making
speeches advocating some kind of
cancelation of the debts in whole or
in part . Naturally, when such a pol
icy is advocated by Americans, a vig
orous protest; 1st aroused and the
subject receives more or less animat
ed discussion.
Every utterance from high official
sources in those countries owing
targe amounts to the United States
contains an assurance that there is
no intention to try to evade payment
of one cent of the debt. The latest
declaration rn that sublect ha come
from thA tiaw 1i3inratHor fir fha lra.f
chequer of Great Britain who asserts t
that 'our first duty wiil be to settle
our debt to America ... To the last
assertions
were made by French officials con
cerninsr the debt of France to the
United States.
Those assurances ought to be ac
cepted by Americans at full face val
ue and there should be an end of dis
cussion of cancelation. It is exceed
ingly poor taste for an American to
direct insinuations at the honor of
European nations when they have re
peatedly given, assurance o their in
tention to pay every dollar they have
borrowed, together with the same
rate of interest the United States
had to pay in raising the money to
loan to them. . - -
There Is not an never has been any
reasonable doubt of the ultimate abil
ity of any of the leading nations to
pay. Even. Russia will be able, to
pay if her national policies ever
again get into the control of men of
sound economic principles.- Great
Britain's trade balance has already
returned to the right side of the led
ger and her good financial position is
evidenced by the fast that sterling
exchange is but slightly below nor
mal. None, of the nations is able to
pay Immediately, and no one expects
that Immediate payment will be
made. No one asks it. Undoubtedly
however, the debts incident to the
World War will be liquidated as rap
idly as other war debts have been
In official circles in this country
there if nothing to justify raising
any question concerning 'the collec
tion of the debts. The Harding ad
ministration has declared itself un
equivocally on that subject. No mem
ber of Congress has ever advocated
cancelation and no member can advo
cate it and secure re-election.
The United States has many im
portant problems pressing for solu
tion. To these we can very properly
give our earnest attention instead of
devoting so much time to the discuss
ion of an issue that has never existed
outside the minds of a few politic
ians in Europe and a few internation
alists here.
HEADS TOGETHER
pOOPERATB WITH your dollars
This thought on thrift is ad
vanced by S. W. Strais, president of
the American society for thrift, in
which he keenly points out the val
ue of accumulation of savings, how
ever small.
"A squandered dollar," he says,
"is lost and gone forever Whatever
of value it may have possessed for
its owner has ceased for all time.
When it passed from his hand there
went with it endless opportunities for
development and happiness.
"Saving a dollar constitutes mere
ly the beginning of a helpful process.
An enthusiasm for thrift is aroused
which makes it doubly easy to save
the second, and so the good work
continues until in less time often than
had been considered possible, a sub
stantial sum has been accumulated.
"If you are among those who un
fortunately have never become savers
of money, do not feel that the start
is not worth while because the
amount of your first savings must be
limited. A mistake is made by many
who insist on waiting until such a
time as they think they can put away
a conJfortable amount of money. In
most" cases f this' kind such a day
never dawns. The way to make the
start in thrift is to begin saving at
once, regardless of how small the
amount mu8t be. 0nce you have
ed you will find the pathway of thrift
is by no means a difficult one to trav
el. No matter how slow your pro
gress may seem at first -and how
many of the so-called pleasure-of the
world you . appear to be giving up
through self-denial, you will find that,
in the end, the path of thrift leads to
success.
"Save that first dollar. Put it to
work for you. Not next week or next
year, but now."
FABIAN FALLACY
THE EIGHTEENTH AMEND
MENT comes "periously near"
to being a law which it is not only
the right but the "sound duty" of ev
ery god citizen to ignore declares
Fabian Franklin. The gentleman be
lieves that he is attacking prohibi
tion. He is not, but he is assailing
the constitution and the entire legal
structure upon which the nation
rests.
Whatever the .merits or faults of
prohibition may toe, and we are not
so sure but ist merits hold the major
ity, the legal phase of the situation
is one whcih cannot be overlooked. It
is no basis of sound citizenship to
advocate the Ignoring., of any law on
the statute books. The obedience Of
the laws is incumbent upon every one
who desires the name of a citizen.
The fact that prohibition may be
unpopular is no excuse. If it is not
a just law, the remedy lies in repeal
ing or modifying it, and not in mak
ing it a laughing stock and a mock
ery. The enforcement of the prohi
bition amendment is one of the diffi
cult problems facing the nation. Co
operation of its citizenry is the patri
otic and the just thing to ask. Those
who would attack the purport of the
amendment would do well to refrain
from attempting to eride an establish
ed principle on which our nationalism
is founded.

THE CALL '
I shall hear a low wind

I shall see a white star

Stars are getting few." "
I shall smile to hear them.
And turn 'and follow you.
I HAVE MADE A SILENT WORD
I have made a silent word
Dreaming here to-day.
Not an ear has ever heard
What I mean to say.
Spoken jwords, like fledging wings.
Flutter to the ground;
I have made a word that sings
Half the world around.
But the singing wonder lies
Captive in my heart.
When he looks into my "eyes -
It will wake and start.
TRANSIENT
Two things there be that live a day!
The wonder in the eyes
When love is born, and after that
The pain when wonder dies.
The first too breathless is and brief,
More stabbing sweet the pain
But both will pass and hearts that
loved
Will live and love again.
American Poetry Magazine.
ILLUMINATION
By H. L. Hubbard
Love called my soul to tread a wind
ing path
Through light and dark.where pleas
ures blend with pain.
Over the rough-hewn road mywound
ed feet,
Ever obedient to the call of love,
Have stumbled, weary, bleeding, in
the night;
Till at the solemn silence o the dawn
My faring s.oul has passed from death
to life.
Behind her as she stands she sees
the road
Whereon she learnt to taste, to drink,
to love
Purgationis Holy Grail of blood-red
wine.
Beyond her stretch the lofty moun-
- tain-tops.
The goal of all her " travail Love's
abode.
Light spreads its golden carpet at her
feet, -
On all the common clay of daily life
Setting the seal of Heaven; beauty
- tinged
The symbol-world of nature stands
unveiled
To eyes new-washen from the dust
of earth.
Old things made new; old voices
heard again -:
Set to the deepest thunder-tones of
God, .
Chanting the melody of earth renew
ed; Now plugning to the deeps of human
pain.
Now straining to the viewless heights
of love.
Old scenes transformed; life's mys
tery made plain.
Its arrows of experience tipped with
gold
Shot from the bow of life", now wing
ing swift
Straight to the target in the heart of
God.
All this and more my eager soul has
known -Standing
amazed in the silent dawn.
v -
Wonder of Wonders! God Himself
draws near,
Stoops to my cross-marked brow;
and deeper still
My cross-pressed spirit - knows His
tender kiss.
Hears His sweet voice and yields her-
- self anew '
To those strong hands scarred with
His passion-wounds. ' -Eager
she casts aside those garments
stained
That wrap her still, and all-desireless
stands. .
Waiting the mystic marriage with her
God,
The royal bridegroom with the beggar-maid.
The silent dawn of wonderment has
passed;
My naked soul steps out upon the
way
That leads her to the lonely mountain-peaks
Where Love awaits her coming at the
last. , '
Each step she takes she knows a fear
ful joy.
Winning a trembling foothold on the
slopes.
Changing the very fashion of herself.
Slowly she feels - her naked body
clothed
With vestments fair and glistering in
the sun;
Till chancing on some clear-lit moun
tain pool
She views her mirrored image in its
deeps.
And lo! the "miracle has come to
pass.
She sees no more herself, but only
God. .
Illumination passed, they twain are
one. London Quest.

LOOKING FORWARD TO WINTER
It was the habit of some good old
fashioned mothers, in the foreign dis
tricts of the cities to sew up their
children for winter, when the first
mm wave came. That meant that
Johnie or Susan would not get a bath
1 and a change of underwear until
spring called, those niDernaiing i"t
to her balmy world. Health nurses
have taught the most Ignorant moth
ers better than that now.
But we still have some things to
learn about packing our houses air-
tight, to weather through "Winter's

and retrograding animals to run from

are cowardly and lack stamina, and

If we are chilly and cannot get
warm, the very best stimulant is to
take a run in the fresh air and fill
our lungs with oxygen, which makes

SAVE AN HOUR
Suonose the hundred women ia
homes right around you should save
an hour a day out of their working
j time! What would it be worth one

time?
Turned in charity channels, it
would scatter sunshine in the whole
community. Reading to the children,
it would store the next generation full
of rich mind treasures. Devoted to
recreation, It would put jollity and
health into the entire neighborhood.
Given to church work, it would fill all
the empty pews. Used for business
it would boost the family one notch
nearer Easy Street. Released for
meditation and sweet thoughts, it
would prove a leaven of grace for a
hundred homes.

If the expert investigator should
come into your home to look it over,
he would first point out all the things
you have which you do notneed,- He
would have yeu discard these. Then
he would have you replace the over

He would have you own and use the

THE DAUGHTER OF THE SPECIES
Statistics have discovered that the
college girl of today is a more splen-

sically. She is - an inch and a half

There are fewer break-downs in the
approved college to-day. Not that
the girls do not accomplish as much
intellectually, but they build up their
endurance to be equal to the hard
study, and they balance the brain ef
fort with physical training. One can
send a girl to college to day with the
almost certain assurance that she will
be turned back stronger and more fit
physically than she went sn.
