JOHN PIERPONT The death of John
MORGAN. Pierpont Morgan removes
from the stage a leading and in many
ways a dominating figure of American
finance for the last score of years.
He was, however, much more than a
mere heaper-up of wealth and he did
many things besides accumulating a
great fortune for which he deserves
to be remembered.
Those who are fond of tracing in
men the traits of their ancestors saw
in the financier not only the charac
teristics of his banker father but al
so those of his inn-keeping and poet
grandfathers. When they saw him at

The 1913 sales of Overland cars are
already double those of any other manufac

are unable to supply the demand. They
have beaten their record for the correspond

If they can beat all the others in sales
surely they can in values. Investigate

I at the Metropolitan museum and
I marked the evidently genuine enjoy
j ment with which he welcomed the
throngs they were reminded of the
genial ways of Joseph Morgan, the
proprietor of the old City Hotel at
Hartford, Conn.
On the other hand, they traced in
some of Mr. Mbrgan's . financial
achievements something of the poetic
imagination, different in expression
but the same in nature, of John Pi 3r
pont, the poet. Mr. Morgan recently
testified under oath that on one oc
casion he had lent a man, who he
knew could give no sort of security
but his bare word, $1,000,000, because
he knew the man and was convinced
that he could make profitable use of
the money for both of them. To do
such things as that, and to exhibit
repeatedly Mr. Morgan's grade of con
structive financial statesmanship, a
man must have the imaginative pow
er which we usually describe as
"poetic".
Unlike most Americans who have
acquired great wealth, Mr. Morgan
did not rise from the ranks of com
parative poverty. When he was born
in 1837 his family was already more
than "well-to-do," thanks to the thrift
of Joseph Morgan and to the latter's
courage and shrewdness in coming to

the rescue of a fire insurance, company
which the New York city conflagra
tion of 1835 had brought to the verge
of bankruptcy. In his childhood his
father, Junius Spencer Morgan, made
his mark as a banker and was a
partner An the- then noted Anglo
American financial house in which
George Peabody had established in
London. When John Pierpont Morgan
came to do things on a great scale
for himself he had left behind him
the prestige of George Peabody &
Co., Drexel, Mbrgan & Co., and their
allied interests in national and inter
national finance.
A big man, in body and in mind;
a tireless worker and most tenacious
of his purposes; a man whose word
was his bond and who never broke
a promise no matter what the cost
of keeping it; a man with plenty of
human sympathies in him despite the
gruff manner and outward appearance
which spoke of nothing but force; a
genuinely patriotic citizen, as his
conduct in the financial crises of
1893 and 1907 amply proved; an ex
traordinary and lavish collector of
pictures, statues and all sorts of ob
jects of art and a liberal benefactor
of artistic education and of many
charities ; a strong American who did
his work with power but not with
brutality, who called for the highest
efficiency an drewarded it amply-r-that
was John Pierpont Morgan.

Each day is a i. v d:if hut it needs
a poet to appreciate i:ie fact.
To most of lis each moruiug means
but the repetition of the same old grind.
So long as it seems a grind so long
do we miss its finer, subtler meaning.
That is where we need the poet vision.
In truth, eculi day is a fresh crea
tion, as marvelous and enchanting as
though there had never been a day be
fore. It is an invitation to feast our eyes,
to try our powers, to create for our
selves. It is an opportunity to make of our
selves all we had hoped aud longed
for.
It is an open door to romance, a
road leading to new countries.
Our mistakes are behind us. " We
need not repeat them unless we will.
The old life is gone. We need take
from it nothing but its lessons.
Each day is a little different from all
that have ever been before. We our
selves are a little different. Thus
there is infinite variety, also infinite
progress if we will. The novelty of
fers opportunity for fresh adventure
and discovery.
The new day should bring the joy of
a 'welcome surprise, as though it were
a precious gift bestowed upon us.
When we look on imminent death
we realize how glad a thing a new
day would be.
We do not appreciate what a
treasure the days are until they are
about to be taken from us.
Were the scales removed from our
eyes we would be aware of the charm
and value of the new day and extract
from it all its possibilities, all its expe
rience, work, knowledge ahd beauty.
If we will, the new days are a
golden stairway by which we climb
upward.
If we will not. they are a stairway
of clay leading down to deeper gloom.
We are the arbiters and architects.
We are the choosers. We are the
magicians who transform by the
wands of mind and will and work.
The iipv days offer us all we would
have or I.e. We but need the vision
to se- ?l-e will to resolve and the en
pjvv ,-" t:ke.
W'i "ill we do with the next
new :r.'

believe you take a cupful of lime, a
cupful of water and a cupful of sand."

NEW POTATOES ARE
COMING IN FREELY
New potatoes are now arriving
rather freely from the south, and
there is a smaller demand for the old
product. While there is a vast differ
ence between the price of old growth
and the newwer offerings, still the
public is beginning to take the high
er quoted stuff.
Shipments of new potatoes from
California have shown a very mater
ial increase during the last few days
and sales are now being made down
to 7c a pound in sack lots. At this
time of the season, when prices are
so high for -new stock, the purchases
are mostly in small lots, which are
generally quoted around 7 1-2 cents.
The new potatoes, now coming for
ward from California are not near
ly of such good size as former ship
ments. This is probably due to the
fact that the demand is far better
than the larger sizes are able to take
care, therefore the marble stock is
substituted by the Californians. The
latter are very greedy in this, respect
and invariably take every advantage
of the situation which an Oregon
grower would consided unfair.
Prevailing Oregon City prices are aa
follows:
HIDES (Buying) Green salted, 7c
