AS TO THE At a somewhat spirited
ELEVATOR meeting Friday after
noon the city council decided to de
cide next week asto whether or not
It would have an elevator. The coun
cil also accepted the bid of one of
the competing contracting companies,
but did not authorize that any agree
ment for the construction of the lift
be entered into. For an hour the city
fathers discussed the elevator matter
with a most commendale thorough
ness. The special committee having
the elevator in charge now hope thati
the council will see fit to order the
contract awarded next week. In fact
early action on the inatter will be
necessary, else the accepted contract
ing firm may withdraw its bid.
Much of the discussion Friday after
noon hinged upon the matter of the
location of the elevator. This was
brought up largely by the publication
"in The Enterprise Friday morning Of
an interview with J. W. Mbffatt, ra
. which certain arguments in favor of
Fourth street, rather than Seventh, as
a site, were set forth. Some readers
of the article got the impression that
The Enterprise was boosting for the
Fourth street site. The Enterprise is
not boosting for either site; it mere
ly published the remarks of Mr. Mof
fatt because It believed -them news.
The people, in voting the bond "issue,
understood that the elevator was to
be built at Seventh street; the adver
tisements for bids called for the lo
cation of the elevator at Seventh
street; the special elevator committee
of the council presumed that Seventh
street was the chosen Bite, and con
fined their work there.
The bid of Mr. Moffatt's firm for aa
elevator at Fourth street was put in

rflsirHERE is in these days a
fl the running equilibrium of an individual is in direct relation
to his environment. INSANITY AND FEEBLE IHND
EDNESS ARE ON THE INCREASE.
There is a growing discontent in national life, and the activities of
the women suffragists, the mental healing cults and those who believe
in spiritualism are medical symptoms of a great mental unrest that is
sweeping the world.
All feeble minded states take origin in disordered bodily function.
Consequently the disarrangement of physical structures leads to DIS
ORDERS IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM,
This has been proved in cases of cretinism and myxedema by feed
ing and then withdrawing thyroid extract.

THE MENTALLY DEFECTIVE CHILD IS OUT OF PLACE IN THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS. EVERY TEACHER KNOWS HOW LITTLE CAN
BE ACCOMPLISHED IN SUCH CASES. EVERY. DEFECTIVE SHOULD
BE TAKEN OUT OF SCHOOL AND PUT INTO AN INSTITUTION, BE

WILL CORRUPT THE MORALS OF NORMAL CHILDREN.

as a suggestion. His arguments for
an elevator at Fourth street were ad
vanced because of his belief that that
site would serve a greater number of
people who needed the elevator; an-1
his views on the subject were legiti
mate news. He had no personal in
terest in the matter, for in the coun
cil discussion it developed that one
of the other contractors stood ready
to underbid his firm if the Fourth
street site were to be considered and
speaking for the Oregon Engineering
& Construction company, Mr. Moffatt
agreed not to attempt to make a bet
ter price.
In fact, it developed at the council
meeting that if the committee had not
felt that the people who voted the
bond issue had expressed a prefer
ence for Seventh street which , it
seems that they actually did not
that the committee would quite likely
have favored the Fourth street site.
Chairman Albright, of the committee,
frankly stated that he favored it, but
that he had not had the committer
consider it because he believed the
will of the people was for Seventh
street. Councilman Metzger declared
that he favored Fourth street, and
stated that nearly everybody to whom
he had spoken favored Fourth street.
He cited funds which would be glad
ly donated to the city if the Fourth j
street site were selected. Council
man Beard believed the Fourth street
proposition ought to be "given very
serious and careful consideration."
However, feeling that Seventh
street, under the circumstances, was
the only "one that could be rightfully
considered, the council passed up pro
longed discussion of the Fourth street
proposition, and finally took action
on the Seventh street site. This ougii
to satisfy those merchants who de
sire to see Seventh street the main
artery of travel; and the kind things
said about Fourth street ought to
satisfy those people who seem not to
want the elevator at Seventh street.
The main thing is that a world of pro
gress was made in the elevator mat
ter Friday, and it is reasonable to
expect that within a week a contract
for the construction of this public
convenience will be signed. That is
the big accomplishment; and the
thing that will help the city.
Under the circumstances it might
be well for citizens Interested in the
wellfore of the city to forget, for ths
time being, the rival claims of Fourth
and Seventh streets, and to impress
upon the council the fact that an ele
vator is the main thing wanted, and
that it is wanted as soon as possible.

EMPEROR WILLIAM was especially cordial In his welcome to King
Georga of England at the wedding of Princess Victoria Louise In Ber
lin. Tha two rulers are here seen seated in a carriage going from the.
station to the royal palace. Queen Mary and the kaiseria are seen
Mted in another carriage. It waa apparent that the kaiser went out of hia
way, as It were, to show the very best of friendly feeling toward King George
because ef the rumors of strained relations between the nations.
The elevator is as yet no certainty, in
spite of the work of the elevator com
mittee and the acceptance of plans.
As Mayor Jones said, Friday: 'It is
still up to the council, and I think the
matter ought to be settled one way
or the other at the next meeting. I
think every councilman ought to be
here, fully familiar with the plans,
and prepared either to vote for the
elevator or to buck it if that is their
intention. This thing has been hang
ing fire for six months, and it ought
to be settled one way or the other."
The mayor hit the nail upon the
head. The matter ought to be settled.
THE DAY This is the longest day in
OF DAYS the year. It is said, there
for, to be the day when chickens
make the most noise and get the
least sleep, the day that women talk
the most, and the day when every
body saves money on light bills. All
these observations are made in varied
forms throughout the earth every
twenty first of June, and are but the
forerunners of the summer madness
that comes with the silly season and
the season of seashore romances and
mountain lake engagements.
Nevertheless, June 21st is an inter
esting day in" history. Lord Halifax
founded the city which bears hia name
on this date in 1749. On the same
day of the month, only in 1813, the
Duke of Wellington walloped Kiag
Joseph in the battle of Vittoria and
thanked bis stars for the extra length
of daylight in which to complete the
engagement. In 1834 Cyrus McCor
mick pacened the reaping machine,
which has since been the mainstay of
the greatest of all American trusts.
It was a long day that Cyrus took to
patent his device, and it will be many
a long day before th3 famers of the
world get through paying for the priv
ilege of using it.
On one of the "longest days" the
one that befell in 1867, the republic
was "asain" re-established in Mexico
Mexico, it seems, had the revolution
habit even then, and has had it con
sistently ever since. Queen Victoria
started hsr enlightened reign on one
of the ''long days of sunshine," and
on June 21, 1887, she celebrated the
golden jubilee of tha occasion. On
the longest day in ths year in 1932
they had the' first snow storm in
Costa Rica, this surprising phenom
enon for the tropics following .an
earthquake. Probably there was no
. ; I -T T
mmm
other day in the year which would
have oeen lengthy enough for both
these things to occur at once.
Perhaps one of the reasons that
June 21st has always been more or
less notable is that owing to its
length there has always been time for
things to happen. Most of our days
are so crowded that only ordinary
events come to pass in them, but
the longest day of the year has sev
eral second all of its own that no
other date possesses and Nature,
hating a vacuum, does her best to
fill in the spare time. '

Earl Cawdor
Hugh Frederick Vaughan Campbell
fourth Earl Cawdor, was born June
21, 1870. He succeeded to the title in
1911 upon the death of his father,
the third Earl , who was a noted
Unionist leader and a man of great
achievements in business and public
affairs. The present Earl was edu
cated at Oxford University. He pos
sesses large estates and several coun
try residences. One of them is the
famous Cawdor Castle, in Scotland, a
seventeenth century fortress built
round the remains of an old tower of
some four centuries earlier. In the
lowest dungeon may be seen a thorn
tree growning out of the floor, an-1
by it is an enormous chest of great
antiquity. In this dungeon and round
this tree it is the family custom to
drink the Cawdor toast, "Freshness to
the hawthorn and prosperity to the
line of Cawdor."

HONESTY.
Honesty is not only the best policy;
It is the law of life.
When you cheat your neighbor you
bear the greater, loss of the two. He
loses a few dollars; you lose your own
soul's integrity. His loss is of some
thing outside of himself; your loss is
of something within. He may readily
replace what has been taken from him,
imr how can you supply your missing
self respect, your inherent sense of
justice that you have outraged?
The law of recompense operates un
erringly. Do not think you can really
escape n debt. Some time, some place.
you must pay to the uttermost farthing.
Evasiun or shirking now will not re
lease you. The law goes on. The uni
verse is not run at haphazard, however
our lives may be. You cannot take
without giving. If you attempt it you
cheat yourself.
Human fictions, be they legal or oth
erwise, do not change the eternal law.
The only way to get money or other
things of value is to give an equivalent
Those who seem to evade this natural
order do not really evade it in the end.
Time will see the score evened. - If
through some subterfuge, some gam
bling device, some unjust law or in
whatsoever way you take from your
brother without making adequate) re
tnrn you at last must foot the bill.
And because society permits it you can
not make society pay your debt
God is not mocked. Our fictions do
not change his truth. As we sow we
shall reap. The debt must be paid.
The debt of chattel slavery was paid,
and that of wage slavery will be paid
both here and hereafter here by so
ciety and both here and hereafter by
the individual.
You can't get something for nothing.
If you seem to do so -for awhile it is
only a seeming. You must make good.
The entire cosmos Is pledged to see
that every debt is paid. The exact ad
justment and balance of the scheme
of things could not be maintained oth
erwise. A few human symbols scrawl
ed on a piece of parchment and pro
claimed a law do not alter the divine
plan.: He who takes that which is not
his own in the eye of the changeless
truth Is a thief. It matters not bow
many governments protect him.
Each man is entitled to that which
he produces or its exact equivalent
He who corners God's resources to rob
his brother shall not escape an account
ing when the books are balanced.
