COURTESY AND The Rose Festival
THE FESTIVAL is distinctly a Port
land affair, just as the Portola is a
San Francisco festival, the Manli
Gras a New Orleans specialty, and
the Montamara Festo a gathering for
"Tacoma. Each of these features is
maintained, year after year, primarily
to benefit and. advertise the city
wherein it is held; and also to provide
amusement and pleasure quite as a
secondary matter, for those who are
spectators of the various pageants. In
other words, it is a business proposi
tion. And it is perfectly right and
proper that it should be, for it costs
money to hold such a spectacle, and
there must be some return received
for the money spent.
However, it is usually customary to
disguise the business feature of the
affair as much as possible. On the
surface the festival, whether in Port
land or elsewhere, appears to be but
a spontaneous outburst of gaiety, ar
ranged and prepared solely to give
everybody a good time. Which is al
so as it should be. Business, when
sugar-coated, is both more attractive
and more profitable.
In Portland, however, the sugar
coating seems to be wearing off the
Rose Festival. Before the festival
Portland had the glad hand and the
happy smile for all its neighboring
communities. It wanted them all to
come in and share the festival, and
to share in its pageants.' This has al
ways been the plan, and in former

E see a continuous advance of man's power to utilize the
Ski
forces of nature to an
he had been able to do
of his recorded history..
"We also see that the result of this vast economic revolution has
been ALMOST WHOLLY EVIL.
We see millions still struggling in vain for a sufficiency of the
BAKE NECESSARIES of life (which in their misery is all they ask),
often culminating in actual starvation or in suicide, to which they are
. driven by the dread of starvation.
And while all this goes on in the depths a little higher up, among
the middlemen distributors of the necessaries and luxuries of life,
bribery, adulteration and various FORMS OF PETTY DISHON
ESTY ARE RAMPANT. '
And, finally, our administration of what we call "justice" (and of
which we are so proud because our judges cannot be bribed) is utterly
unjust because it is BASED ON A SYSTEM OF MONEY
FEES at everv-step.
TAKING ACCOUNT OF THESE VARIOUS GROUPS OF UNDOUBTED
FACTS, MANY OF WHICH ARE SO GROSS. SO. TERRIBLE, THAT
THEY CANNOT,, BE OVERSTATED, IT IS NOT TOO MUCH TO SAY
THAT , OUR WHOLE SYSTEM OF SOCIETY IS ROTTEN FROM TOP
TO BOTTOM.

Dillman & Howland
years many cities have sent floats,
delegations and costly appurtenances
to Portland for participation in the
Rose Festival. Of late years these
outside features have been growing
less and less, and vague wonderment
has arisen as to the causei
This ysar, just for instance, a dele
gation from Oregon City went down
to Portland to take part in the marine
pageant of welcome to Rex Oregonus.
It is not boastful to say that this feat
ure of the marine pageant was worthy
of praise, for the two Oregon City
crafe were uniquely and plentifully
decorated. They took part in the wa
ter parade, they added to the grand
eur and attractions of that spectacle.
They were noticed by the spectators.
But were they noticed by the Port
land papers? Yes, one paper printed
an account of their appearance in an
article sent from this city and printed
under an Oregon City date line. The
other papers saw nothing but Port
land incidents. The other papers en
tirely slighted the efforts of Oregon
City to aid in making the intial par
ade of the Rose Festival a success.
This is as it has been every year.
No particular mention has been made
by the Portland papers of any outside
courtesy extended the Rose Festival
by the neighboring communities. Del
egations from Spokane or Oakland, or
some point outside of Pregon, may
be given a small sop of mention; bul
nearby cities in Oregon and Washing
ton are neatly overlooked. Perhaps
this is why outside participation in
Portland's festival has fallen off, per
haps this, too, may have something to
do with a decrease in outside interest
in Portland's annual fete. Perhaps
if Portland would restore the sugar
coating of the business side 'of its
festival, a greater enthusiasm would
be manifested, both at home and
abroad. Courtesy, even -from Port
land, is a nice thing to receive for
other courtesies extended the me

AND SUMMER days when the
thoughts of mankind in general turn
towards strawberries, summer and
the out-door life. In all walks of life
the strawberry is much beloved, and

is the signai for a general

afford it The well-to-do order straw
berries and cream, and peruse liter
ature dealing with summer resorts as
they eat the specially selected ber
ries served them. Those not quite so
well-to-do take home strawberries by
the two-bits' worth, save the thin lay
er of cream that somehow gets into
the milk in spite of the separator in
the dairy, and read the newspaper ad
vertisements of "pickers wanted" as
they munch the lucious fruit The
rest of the folk, who have been shoo
ing the wolf from the door through
the . winter, ramble down to the
church strawberry festival to get a
dish of the harbinger of better times,
and then hie themselves out to days
of back-breaking' labor in the berry
patches, to harden . up their muscles
for later activities in the orchards and
hop fields. Thus throughout society
the strawberry carries its message.
It is also about this time of the year
that the fair Cytheria, when taken
out by the admiring and faithful Joab,
forsakes club sandwiches and ginger
ale for more plebian icecream and
crushed berries, thereby making it
possible for Joab to either ride home
after he leaves ier, instead of plod
ding his weary way, or -affording him
opportunity to buy a new necktie for
his own adornment. Any young man
can 'afford W buy his enamorita as
many strawberries as she can eat
without straining his pocketbookjbur
some of the other refreshment that
the beloved girls require is not always
so easily provided.
Even the monotony ' of boardinjr
house fare will soon be broken by a
sweet mixture of lalf -picked straw
berries of doubtful "quality, serve 1
with "skimmed milk which, is mucn
better than the usual dish of thr?e
prunes and some diluted juice. The
strawberry .is a great invention it
appeals to all of use as does nothing
else, in life, it betokens the advent of
summer joys or summer work, and it
affords relief even to th most
humble. Long live the strawberry,
and the hopefulness of its message.
And incidentally, everybody would
leave the effete East and come West
if it was generally known that two
crops of strawberries are harvested
on the Pacific slope.

THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.
There is no reason why we should
not have on these shores the noblest
civilization the world has ever known.
There is no reason why we should
not lead the world in political idealism
and reform, as we did of old.
There i no reason why we should
not take as advanced a place in art
and literature, in philosophy and re
ligion and in all the higher realms ot
the intellectual and - spiritual as we
have in the .political, commercial and
industrial.
There is no reason why we should
not become more than ever before a
beacon set npon a bill to the peoples
of all lands and races.
. In a measure we have been and are
all this, but not in the degree that it
is our opportunity and duty to be.
Everything is in our favor our re
sources. - our Institutions, our history
and our youth. -
Our danger is of losing sight of our
high ideals and manifest destiny in the
pursuit of temporary, partial and per
sonal things, of submerging spiritual iu
material things, of thinking' more of
luxury than of leadership.''
Set apart from the old work! as we
are. we could become the evangel of
peace, of universal education, of hu
manitarian enterprises, of a social or
ganization that would do justice to the
workers, eliminate waste and bring
producer and consumer together; of ag
ricultural and industrial efficiency, of
practical philanthropy and helpfulness
one to another, of freedom from cor
ruption, of popular government at Up
cleanest and best
These are not Impossible ideals.
They are both practical and necessary.
With these things more nearly real
ized we could become a nation such as
was contemplated by our founders.
Is it not time, in Lincoln's phrase,
that we had a "new birth of freedom"
and that America should in the highest
and best sense take her rightful place
as the leader of the world?
One In a Hundred.
Taking the statistics of the world,
