A CLOSED The McNab incident may INCIDENT be regarded as closed, in the opinion of the Chicago Inter Ocean, which goes on to make some very sane and pithy comments upon day's news. Continuing its review ot the situation, the Inter-Ocean says , that whether a cabinet officer blund ered or whether a district attorney was somewhat too precipiate, the ad ministration evidently has come i.c . realize that "the man higher up" otrtiilH Tint atiSYrtnt t cunnpaco a rma. ; ecution for a hideous crime for any reason, and least of all for a political ' one. . " , It is a happy ending of the incident, but it carries its warning with it. The , president " and his administration should realize that the nation is not in the temper to view calmly the spec tacle of "pull" being exerted to save any one from punishment who de serves it. It must be admitted that Presideut Wilson has cleverly enough extricated ' his administration from an unfortu nate and even perilous situation. The order that the prosecution of Caminet ti and Diggs for infraction of th? Mann white slave law shall go forward without delay effectively nullifies the , prior action of the Departmant of J".s tice.

It is-not, however, of these mate rial benefits that 1 would call attention. I refer rather to the COM MERCE OF THOUGHT, the interchange of ideas, the traffic in the things' of the mind. It is a commerce which is not so obviously a matter of observation. It follows a hidden current of exchange, yet neverthe less has AFFECTED OUR COUNTRY AT THE SOURCES OF ITS I JFK. WE ARE INDEBTED TO GERMANY IN A PECULIAR MANNER FOR A SET OF IDEAS WHICH HAVE INSTRUMENTAL VALUE IN INTELLECTUAL FIELDS, IDEAS WHICH ARE THE VERY TOOLS OF THOUGHT, AND BY THEM INDEED WE BECOME SKILLED IN THE VERY ART OF THINKING ITSELF. The majority of teachers in the higher institutions of learning in our land have been trained in Germany. There they have LEARNED THE SKCRET OF SCHOLARSHIP. Germany has given to the scholars of all countries an incalculable treasure; not knowledge merely, but a method of acquiring knowledge, and of discovering and testing the truth. No gift is comparable to that of imparting to another a method of investigation which is fertile in suggestion and productive of rewarding results. This is GERMANY'S GIFT. TO THE SCHOLARS OF AMERICA. . : ENRY PECK AND HIS FAMILY AFFAIRS ' -rue 5Heup oc CtoTMlTS CU06CT v-Me, te wipe Purchase a home for $200.00 down, the balance on monthly payments. 7-room house with one and three-fourths lots on improved street. Sewer and street improvements paid $1500.00. Dillman & Howland tion carries with it the plain injuuc tion, "Don't let it happen again." In view of the purpose to save the face of Mr. McReynolds, the summary acceptance of District Attorney Mc Nab's resignation was the only course open to Presidlent Wilson. It is to be hoped that the special prosecutor 'o be appointed to handle the case will be competent and a man with a repu tation which shall guarantee him to above the suspicion of yielding to po litical influence. The rumored appointment of Fran cis J. Heney to this position seems to insure a vigorous prosecutor and iv: a sense seems politic, inasmuch as Mr. Heney's appointment can hardly be deemed a political one. THIS ONE The Enterprise is tafasn IS ON US to task, as usual, by The Courier this week, this time for stat" ing that Ed Olds did not bid upon the public elevator. -For oace in its un certain life The Courier has hit it straight. The Enterprise did err E4 Olds did bid on the elevator. He not only put in a bid, which was the low est bid, but he furnished his own plans and specifications, and the ele vator committee of the city council found them so inadequate and bizarre that after one glance they gave them no further consideration. For tho modest sum of $11,959 Ed Olds offer ed the city a cross between an oil-w3ll derrick and a power-line tower an affair so absolutely unsuited to the requirements that no city official thought it worth while to waste a moment's thought upon it after the first review. And so no further ref erence was made to the Olds bid, pos sibly out of kindness to Mr. Olds as much as for any other reason. For $21 more the Oregon Bridge & Con struction company offered to build a handsome tower, one suitable: to 'be requirements of a public elevator, an l one that is in every way safe-guarded against stresses of weather and wind. For $21 more this firm was willing to erect a structure that will endure for all time, and about which there will never arise any question " as to strength or suitability. Not knowin? the general opinion of the elevator committee as to the Olds plans, and never having heard them mentioned, The Enterprise concluded that there hadn't been any plans offered. How- Gift to the Scholars A menca By JOHN GRIER HIBBEN. President of Princeton University THE commercial relations which have existed for many years between Germany and the United States have brought out two countries into CLOSE AND INTIMATE RELATIONS and have proved of inestimable benefit to us and we trust also to Germany. It is unnecessary to recol lect how deeply indebted we are to this sister nation OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY tmiS oup OBTEB. So &-Ot WHEN I tv((.t'& s-cmn HO- HO- He- hsVt eee i "i ui Women, Why Not Dress According to Your Age? By CHARLES C. CURRAN, American Artist CHE woman who makes a skirt so narrow around the bottom that she can't take a step in it and then slits it up the sides is just about as SENSIBLE as the man who painted his whiskers green and then carried a fan to hide them. If a woman has a good figure you'd never know it when she's wear ing such freakish costumes as we see today. And then some of the coats this season have funny little tails hanging down the back, like the swallowtails men used to wear. Other coats are so skimpy that I wonder if the women haven't TAKEN BY MISTAKE THE LITTLE OLD ARMY COATS OF THEIR GRANDFATHERS. The ideal summer costume must be beautiful, the sort of thing one can put into a picture, but it must NOT LEAVE A QUES TION in the mind of the beholder. That's the effect of the eccen trie things. One is unable immediately to determine whether or not the result is successful. One is puzzled, disturbed, startled. The truly beautiful costume is so completely THE INEVITABLE THING that it is accepted at once. It and its wearer are fused into a gracious whole. One's first instinctive comment is, "HOW LOVELY 1" s n THERE 18 ONE THING I WISH EVERY WOMAN WOULD MAKE UP HER MIND TO DO THIS SUMMER AND THAT IS TO DRESS AC CORDING TO HER AGE. IF THERE IS A SIGHT MORE PATHETIC AND ABSURD THAN THE GIRL WHO TRIES TO LOOK LIKE A MA TURE MATRON IT IS THE OLD WOMAN WHO ASSUMES YOUTH FUL AIRS AND CLOTH E8. WHY ARE OUR GIRLS AFRAID TO BE YOUNG, OUR GRANDMOTHERS AFRAID OF THE HONOR OF THEIR YEAR8? ever, this paper is now glad to ack nowledge its mistake, and to say that for $21 less than the bid of the suc cessful bidder, Ed Olds offered to build for Oregon City a structure that was so generally unsuited to the pur pose for which it was designed that the council wasted no time in consid ering his bid. The council wanted, at least, to get its money's worth. "THIS IS MY 41ST BIRTHDAY" Ameer of Afghanistan Habibulla Khan, the Ameer of Af ghanistan, was born July 3, 1872, and came to the throne upon the death ol his father, Ameer Abdur Rahman Khan, October 3, 1901. The country over which he rules is an independent Asiatic state on the northwestern frontier of India. Its area . is esti mated at 246,000 English square miles and its population at 5,000,000. Three fourths of the country are covered by mountains which are interspersed by many fertile valleys. The present Ameer had a consider able share in the government of the country before he came to the throne. For some years, under his' father's controlling hand, he had had charge of the army and the state treasury and the supreme court of appeal. He is regarded as a wise and temperate ruler, but less masterful than his fath er, who was an extremely able soldier and a vigorous administrator. Hab ibulla Khan has five sons and four brothers. Congratulations to: Emile Ollivier, former premier of France, 88 years old today, George W. Kirchwey, professor of law at Columbia Cniversity, 58 years old today. Marquis of Cholmondeley, who ho'.ds the hereditary office of Lord Great Chamberlain of England, 55 years old today. MARKET FEATURES Market conditions are ' generally quiet.

Here and there some ninger. a prophet voice, tells of the couiIuk morn. The mass of men do not kuow. for they yet sleep, but one by one they awaken and. as with au inward eye. see the first signs of the daybreak- In the long night of history a decade is as an hour, n day r.s a second. The great clock of time ticks on. The light grows. Now and again some new voice is added as a herald of the sun rise. The world always has its seers, but does not heed them till the event they foretold is past Especially is this true in the great epochs, the times before the crises . The morning star of hope is shining, and the clouds above it take on a gray ing tinge. The mountain tops of the future catch the first faint radiance, though the bases are yet in shadow. A faint breath, like a psychic wave, stirs through the world of thought. More souls emerge from their slumber and wonder if at last the long looked for day is nigh. Why paint the sunrise? For that is yet under the Veil of the future. And it may come through black clouds and storm. Who knows? It Is enough for us to feel that it will come; that soon er or later the new day will flood the world with light." Mankind is on the eve of a spiritual awakening. Liberty Is again to lead the races. The old creeds, dogmas and husks are to be supplanted by the liv ing religion of the Christ Old errors will pass away, and old truths will be seen in a new light The century plant of progress, which has grown so wonderfully during the past 100 years, will burst into flower. Human brother hood will cease to be merely a preach er's phrase and will become a vital fact - The marvelous material advancement of the world will not end in machines and scientific formulas. It has another and deeper meaning. It will have its counterpart In human development It will reach its logical result In an in tellectual, artistic and spiritual unfold- ment such as the world has never seen before. It will bring its blessings, not to the few only, but to all mankind. The age Is electric with new thought forces. Over the shoulders of the green old world is rising the dawn of a bet ter day.
