POPE, NEAR DEATH;
ROME, April 17- (Special) Early
this morning Pope Pius X. was still
alive, but little hope was entertained
that he would survive the day. His
oSochbrex ....z . irsse t ,s . .
sisters and high church officials are
awaiting in ante rooms at the Vatican
for definite word from the Pontiff's
chamber, while the greatest physi
cians at the command of his holiness
are struggling to prolong his life.
Dr. Machiafvara still presists that
there is one chance in a hundred of
the Pope's rallying; but aside from
him all others seem to have abandon
ed hope, and everywhere preparations
are being made for mourning the de
parting prelate.
A pathetic incident of the closing
hours of the day yesterday was the
sending up in the air, by the Italian
military authorities, of a huge dirig
ible baloon, so tha the dying Pon
tiff could see it from his windows.
Before his illness the Pope was much
interested in the progress of the dir
igible maneuvers, and in spite of his
sickness he showed a faint Interest
as the big airship passed slowly
across his field of view.

Talks
v
By JAMES A. EDGERTON
AMERICAN IDEALISM.
Professor Henry Bergson, the French
philosopher, recently delivered .several
lectures iu New York. The World of
that city said of them:
"What Professor Bergson particular
ly found to admire here was 'the ideal
ism of the '.American people,' which
was a 'positive revelation" to him."
Most Americans who think already
knew of the idealism that is found
among this people. They knew like
wise that this idealism has been the
most powerful factor making for our
material progress and achievement.
What will surprise them is that the
discovery of it should have proved a
"revelation" to a thinker and student
such as Professor Bergson. They took
it for granted that all the world knew.
The misinformation in Europe con
cerning things American constitutes
the eighth wonder of the world.
Europeans judge us by the superficial
observers who come over here for
three weeks and then write books
about us. They also measure us by
our millionaires and near millionaires,
who, going abroad and not knowing
just how to act, compromise by spend
ing money.
The real American type is found
among those of moderate means rather
than among the excessively rich,
among those who stay at home rather
than those who go abroad.
There are no people on earth more
packed with idealism and sentiment
than our matter of fact, joke loving,
practical, hard headed Americans. The
world thinks of us as money grubbers,
worshipers of the golden calf, material
ists. In some degree we have given
ground for this estimate, yet it repre
sents but half a truth.
At heart we are idealists following a
vision of democracy, bent on having
an equal start in the race toward life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
It was idealism that wrote the Decla
ration of Independence, idealism that
stood for sailors' rights, idealism that
preserved the Union and freed the
slave, idealism that liberated Cuba,
Idealism that framed a government
which became the model for republics
the world around, idealism that creat
ed our tremendous development
As it is -with nations, so with indi
viduals. No man can win a big suc
cess unless he is a practical idealist,
unless he sees principles and cleaves
to them in working out his career.
Have a great ideal and keep it whole
and clean. It will prove a day star to
lead you to the heights. -
All Oregon City should observe
Brighten Up Week, which starts Sat
urday. The whole week will be de
voted to cleaning up the alleys and
back yards as) well as vacant lots in
the city. A city beautiful is the aim
of the mayor and the Live Wires and
Huntley Bros, will also lend their as
sistance. AS during Brighten Up
Week 1000 bonus Auto Contest votes
will be given with every 50c purchase
in their naint store. Now is the time
to clean up the rubbish. "
The Superiority of ElectricToast
to the charred, or brittle, or soggy . kind made in the
tedious old-fashioned way, is relatively the same as the
superiority of grilled steak to fried steak.
For one-tenth of a cent a slice the General
Electric Radiant Toaster makes Perfect Toast faster
ihan you can cat it. It is Perfect Toast because the
radiant heat forces the necessary chemical change
in the bread. This insures delicious golden Toast that
fairly melts in your mouth. '
You can operate the Genera Electric Radiant Toaster on the
finest damask table cloth. Its neat porcelain base and cheerful
. glowing coils add grace and charm to any table.
This little toaster is on display at our store in the Bea-
ver Building on Main Street.
China Looks Upon Us as
a Big. Brother
By Rev. Or. GEORGE B. VOSBURGH, Who Has Spent Years In China
CHEN A look3 upon the United States as a big brother. It
needs our guidance and our good will.
Naturally the nations of Europe DID NOT WANT
A REPUBLIC IN CHINA. Had the new government
of the Chinese been a monarchy, with precisely the same strength be
hind the throne as is now behind the republican government there,
the European group would undoubtedly have granted China the rec
ognition she asked.
The United States, however, was in a different position. It would
gain nothing by the partition of China. As a republic, as a humani
tarian nationthis country was LOOKED TO BY THE CHI
NESE FOR MORAL SUPPORT
We of America had made many splendid friends in China when
we returned the Boxer indemnity
now to our shores, and the visioning
LOOKED TOWARD A MIGHTY
between the oldest and newest republic, in which they would work
together for good in every way.
t s
FROM EVERY STANDPOINT IT IS JO THE INTEREST OF THE
UNITED STATES TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF CHINA. LOOK
AT THE QUESTION IN ANY WAY YOU LIKE, FROM THE COMMER
CIAL ASPECT OR THE SPIRITUAL, OR FROM ANY POINT BETWEEN,
AND IT BECOMES EVIDENT TO THE BROAD SEEING MIND THAT
THIS COUNTRY AND CHINA ALIKE WOULD PROFIT FROM SUCH
AN ALLIANCE; THAT IT WOULD HELP TO INSTILL HARMONY
INTO THE DISORDER OF THE WORLD AND WOULD TAKE US A
STEP FARTHER TOWARD THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN.
