GOVERNOR OLCOTT SPEAKS Movement Inaugurated to Give Missionary Xiche in Hall of Fame. SALEM, Or., Oct. 26. (Special.) When Governor Olcott, in an address here this afternoon at ceremonies at tendant to the unveiling of the por tia.it of Jason Lee, recognized iy his torians as the founder of civilization In Oregon, said It was his wish that the day would arrive when a presi dent of the Ur.Ked States would un veil in the national capitol at Wash ington, in one of the niches set aside for Oregon and her great men, a por trait or bust of this great figure, he Inaugurated a movement which prom inent members of the Oregon confer ence of the Methodist Episcopal church snd other admirers of the early-day missionary believe will terminate in true representation of this state in the congressional hall of fame. "It is fitting in the extreme," said Governor Olcott, "that the portrait of Jason Lee should hang here above the speaker's desk in the capitol of the state which he gave to our na tion: in the capital city where he founded the first school to be estab lished on the western coast of North America; in the capital city which he founded and lived in its first dwell ing house. By every right of achieve ment, by every right of peaceful con quest, the portrait of Jason Lee should adorn the halls of the capitol building as long as the capitol build Ins ehall endure." Pioneer Woman Speaks. Mrs. Maria Campbell Smith of Port land, first white child born in Salem, appeared gowned in the bridal robe of her sister, who came around the horn with Jason Lee on his second trip to the state.

She recalled that upon the eve of Lucy Anna Lee's ad Tent into the world she was held upon the lap of Jason Lee. Bishop W. O. Shepherd of the Ore Con conference paid tribute to Jason Lee as a physical giant and a man who possessed unusual intellect, char acter, (statesmanship, culture and sin cerity of purpose. "Jason Lee was a providential character," said Bishop Shepherd, "chosen as Abrahajn and Moses, Lincoln and Washington, to be the saviors of our people." Robert A. Booth of Eugene, son of . pioneer circuit rider of Oregon, dwelt upon the great courage of Jason Leo and compared him with the pioneers of the middle west and the later settlers, whose aim was to establish homes and prosper. "Christianity is the base of all modern governments worthy of the name," said W. C. Hawley, representa tive. "Although not all of our great men are active in church, if you will study their ancestry you will find they were reared in Christian homes or had the opportunities of Christian education." Edgar B. Piper, editor of The Ore gonian. reflected the thought of Gov ernor Olcott when he said that some thing should be done to fill a niche in the congressional hall of fame with a likeness of Jason Lee. Speaking on the subject, "If Jason Lee Had Not Come," Mr. Piper said that the teach ings and the achievements of the preat early day missionary had been jtf Iff fc$r4t II " if fM Bh ft cV 111 - M-fiMMt III 4ilW-i ill ;Jf if IH I $50 Copyright 1920 Hart Schaffne. & Marx, IF YOU are a judge of clothes you will appreciate the fine tailoring-, the all wool fabrics, the newest and clever styles.
