Davis is too old to run for the vice-presidency of the Unit ed States. When age is resorted to by critics as a blemish, it is almost a sure sign that the man criticized is without real faults to point out. The time was, when venerable years stood for sound judgment and unusual wisdom, and the young were taught to respect and honor them. Those were , days when fathers knew . more than smart young sons, and when the mothers and not the daughters ran the household.But this is a 20th cen tury, and the world is swifter now than it used to be. Things like the Constitution, the Declaration of In dependence and a parent, our smart young bustlers now declare out worn and too ancient for our world power pace. And so, Henry G. Davis, in spite of the fact that even with his four score years he was the least wearied of all the men in the St. Louis con vention, who walks vigorously and erect over his farm and directs ev-ery-operation. who does all things that any other man of "50 or 60 does, he is called too . old to be vice-president of the United States. Thus, in the change and sweep of the times, age, that was once a vir tue, in the merciless minds of some, has become a crime. No . matter how vigorous or how . strong yet, a certain figure in a man's years is the deadline, and after that, he is to be buried alive. Our fathers and mothers must be thrust aside, be cause they are in the way of we smart young folks. How long will it be at our present increase of pace un til we will dig graves for ihein while they yet live, fashion tomb stones while they still look, and write on the stone, ' '.'Our Father and Mother, -' Buried alive here because too old." How refreshing it would be for all if some of the old fashioned no tions about age and the merit of age would come in vogae again. How refreshing, since every man knows his time to be called old, and to be thrust aside perhaps before he is ready, is swift and surely coming. FOR A GREATER OREEQN. It is notorious that Oregon, in late year?, has been outstripped in growth by her neighbor states on the north. Seattle, Spokane and Tacoma are well known to people in the East who never heard of Portland. Organization is the life breath of progress, and success comes to those who help themselves. Ore gonians slept and dozed while Wash ingtonians were active in pushing the claims ot their state for settle ment and development. If the pop ulation and wealth of the one was slower than that of the other in de velopment tbe reason is manifest. If Oregon would go to the lore the way is easy and the task simple. The Portland Commercial club pro poses the organization of the Ore gon Development League, a society to bind all Oregon together for a bigger, better state. The plan in dicates an awakened Portland, and the possibility of an awakened Ore gon. The time is opportune be cause of the unparalleled opportuni ty afforded by the coming Lewis and Clark fair. It is the time of all times to reach for success, for it will be the time when it is easiest to grasp it. Corvallis, and every town in Oregon should, and doubtless will send a full delegation to the Marquam - meeting, there to join hands for a greater Oregon, a state for which nature has done so much, and her people, so comparatively little. - " Portland and Return.
