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"

; 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. Although his chief whitewashes

for the innumerable necessaries and luxuries of life which bear the well
known stamp, "Made In Germany." 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. . :

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-

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.

Head to Heart
Talks
By JAMES A. EDGERTON
THE NEW AGE.
It is the hour before the dawn. 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.
More to Come.
