Dan O'Leary, whose fame rests upon achievement as a long-distance pedestrian, has a suggestion to women who seek beauty, or who would retain, despite their years, the freshness of sixteen. Ten miles of brisk walking each day, through sunshine or storm, contends the doughty Dan, would raise right speedily the standard of feminine loveliness in America. Quickened, revitalized blood currents would bring the bloom that cosmetics strive to simulate, and a healthier, happier, more radiant womanhood would charm our ways. Ten miles a day, up hill and down dale, spurning the well-intended In vitations of motorists, and breathing the unsmirched freshness of morn ing, connotes a considerable amount of leisure time in which to cheat the years. Vet us say at least three hours at a smart pace, pausing not at all to pluck a spray of wild cherry or watch a sunrise. Champion pedes trians have little time for such es thetic joys of the road. The woman ln quest of beauty, the average woman whose days have other de mands, would find less. The O'Leary prescription is almost unattainable. It is the sorry fact that life, in the urgency of its pursuits, makes no provision for ten-mile rambles after complexion and symmetry. There are humdrum duties that can not be evaded and that are more conducive to wrinkles than win comeness. Breakfasts to cook, beds to make, floors to sweep, and house hold gods to be defended. If, the international walking champion will also advance, in connection with his advice, some practical hint of how to avoid these tasks, his formula for attaining and retaining beauty will be simplified. The wrong trail again the trail of the faddist, of the enthusiast whose zeul recognizes no obstructive fact. For the butterflies we .have no concern. Let them keep their beauty as best they know how. It is certain that few would choose the heroic treatment offered by Dan O'Leaxy, But for certain millions of celerate the process. We have heard much of late years about the vicious circle. - Does not a process by which everything settles down to its natural level constitute a virtuous circle? All know that it does, but each fears to start lest the others will not follow. If all start together and keep step, all will find themselves as well off after as before the return to normal prices. THE CHESS PLAYERS. By comparison with a game like baseball, chess awakens only a lan guid popular interest. The young man, Capablanca, and the veteran Lasker. now striving for a world championship over a table in Cuba, convey no adequate impression- to the great mass of people of the really stupendous nature of the mental contest in which they are engaged. For every man who can adequately appreciate the finer points of chess, there are perhaps a thousand who know the rules of our national game by heart. Chess is caviare to the general; baseball ln America and cricket and rugby in England are sports in which the humblest may engage. The reason Is not altogether that chess requires superior brain power or greater capacity for Intellectual finesse. The comparative Isolation of the ancient game is due to the pe. culiar rather than the superior na ture of the mental attributes that it connotes. Like the mathematical prodigy and the billiard wizard, the chess expert defies classification. His intuitions rather than his powers of reasoning are his most reliable guides. There is evidence that chess phenomenons are born rather than made. Capablanca was a wonder at the game at the age of five and the latest chess sensation in Europe is a Polish boy of eight who has defeated most of the leading adult players of the continent. Capablanca's really wonderful ability as a chess player is matched by nothing else he does. The Polish youngster is sub-normal elsewhere than at the chess board. Although chess would seem to re quire the highest possible develop ment of the faculties of foresight and concentration and logic and straight thinking, those who play the game best seldom shine in vocations in which those attributes would seem to -have greatest play. Benjamin Franklin, who first brought chess Into prominence in America, was in deed remarkable ln other ways, but he was relatively an indifferent chess player.

Several persons gath Maupin and a third chap took horses and went in pursuit. The Indians stopped and killed a beef on Trout creek and this enabled the pursuers to catch up. Clark and Maupin had the only Henry rifles ln this part of the country. The Indians were armed with pistols and knives. Maupin fired and hit Paulina in the hip, so that he could not run. The old chief, a big fellow, called to his men to escape, and they did. Clark said he wanted to kill Paulina for burning his ranch, and as a shell was jammed In his gun, he borrowed Maupin's Henry and kept shooting and wounding Paulina without killing him. When Paulina saw. that he was about to be finished, he took his long knife, drove it into the ground and broke off thfe blade, because he did not want to be scalped with bis own knife. Maupin took careful aim and shot the chief in the head. The cattle were recovered, save the one that was killed, and the body of Paulina was left where it lay until long afterward, when young Perry Maupin took some finger bones for souvenirs. Paulina was a bad one and caused lots of trouble to the stages and pack trains. Paulina mountains are named after him, and Maupin, in the Deschutes, is named after his slayer."' After IS years in Japan I assert that there is no business morality among the Japanese." asserted C. J. Williams of Kobe, who arrived at the Benson yesterday. "One would suppose after such a long residence that first impressions would be ad justed and that an outsider would get to know-the finer qualities of a people, but I have no praise for the Japanese business man. He will break a contract without batting an eye, and If you try to hold hiin to the contract you get nowhere. The banks are the same. Even the big gest Japanese concerns, which do a great foreign business, are no better in keeping their word or contracts than the little fellows.. Conditions in Japan are bad and about all they are importing is steel, for they have a big navy and are increasing it as rapidly as possible. The Jaoanese navy is a fine thing, but the Japanese army Isn't much. I watched the aneuvers of the army last year and they were far from making a good showing. In Japan they don't know the war Is ever yet and they are still demanding exorbitant prices for everything. During the war it was a common sight to see great truck loads of 'genuine Scotch whlskv.' made in Osaki, being destined for the eriusn troops in Mesapotamia." 'China offers untold nosslbllltlea tn the live young man," says Robert Kttcnie, registered at the Multnomah from Shanghai. "Coming to the United States I can see where them are unlimited possibilities for trade development.

In first-degree murder cases ths district attorney sees to It that the Jury is compTJsed of men who are favorable to the death penalty. When 12 good men who are favorable to hanging try a case and find for sec ond degree, I for one am willing to abide by their Judgment. They know the facts, the law In the case, and public opinion. Do you know, Mr. Pro Bono, that the ability of Juries ln murder eases to arrive at a certain verdict is ln the final analysis con trolled most largely by the demands of public opinion? This Is especially so in cases of prominent people and cases containing very unusual cir cumstances. In these cases the influ ence of public opinion is as great as or greater than the evidence and points of law in the case. The human factor continues to ex ist in the 12 good men who are try ing the case, regardless of their oath or points of law involved. This human factor plus the knowledge of the demands of public opinion Is ever present and serves to temper the severity of the prosecution or In creases the desire to punish severely, as the case may be. Each case Is pe culiar unto itself and is not always decided on precedent. The application of law may be the same, but the human mind will always have its variations. So long as these variations exist, Just that long will there be variations In verdicts for practically the same offense. Justice controlled by the will of the people Is the best form of Justice after all. When the time arrives that all murder cases are treuted alike, decided alike, and all receive the same penalty, then this country of ours will have arrived at the stage of a cold-blooded one-man rule and the government for the people and by the people will have perlBhed. Now, Mr. Tro Bono, you need ex perience; you should qualify as a Juror, convince the court that you are a man of open, unbiased mind, get on the Juries of one or more murder cases, accept this great responsibility honestly and sincerely, do your duty well and you will have lost your resent ideas and will be a wifr man. PeSple wouldn't kick so mueh about our system if they accepted fully the duties and responsl Uitles of our great American citizenship. GEORGE M. ROBINSON.

It was rati fied by the senate In 1909 shortly before Roosevelt s term expired. tO' gether with a treaty with Panama whereby the United states was to have paid that country $2,500,000 which was to have been paid over to Colombia in settlement of Pana. ma's share of the Colombian debt The third treaty was between Colom. bia and Panama, but Colombia re hected the settlement President Taft took up the negotiations, but failed. Then Secretary of State Bryan took them up and "apparent ly allowed Colombia to write" the treaty. Republicans opposed it in committee, and in March, 1917, the democrats made a majority report in Its favor, striking out the apology and substituting a mutual expression of regret that good relations had been disturbed, while the republi. cans condemned It OU was first injected into the case soon after a favorable second report was madeby the republican as well as democratic committeemen on July 29, 1919, when Colombia revived old decrees which seriously affected the right of Americans on land, espe cially oil land. The treaty was sent back to committee, but when the Colombian supreme court confirmed the constitutionality of the oil con. cessions, another favorable report with amendments was made on June 3, 1920. Thus the general policy of settlement with Colombia by such a treaty was approved by both parties, and it had ceased to be a party question. Senator Fall was most actively in terested in removing objections and opposition to the treaty. He pre pared a plan which, Mr. Lodge said, "involved the ratification of the treaty as it now stands with amend ments to be followed by another treaty of amity and commerce by which we should rid ourselves of the old Grenadine treaty of 1846, which has been a subject of dispute and trouble ever since it was made and by which we should also re-estab lish our relations with Colombia and secure her promise, to Join with us in defense of the canal at any and all times." Mr. Fall laid this plan before Roosevelt who wrote to him on March 21. 1917 I greatly liked your statement about the Colombian treaty. It Is very strong. I. of course, most earnestly hope that your negotiations for a aew and proper treaty will be successful. The proposition on the last two pages seems to ma to be eminently right. Mr. Lodge gave among reasons for a settlement with Columbia: That republic's territory "comes up to the boundary of Panama not far from the. canal." It is "the only South American state which has both an Atlantic and Pacific coast and on both coasts are good harbors capable of large development" and "It com mands in this way the approaches to the canal."

Is it not the object and aim of the church to bring sinners to repent ance? It seems to me there is less danger of the church oi today losing followers because of the fact that some of Its members have formerly been acknowledged sinners, as there Is from the "holier than thou" atti tude of many of the older members. Many people are saved from commit ting grievous sins because no great temptation to err has been put in their way. They are good not so much because they want to be good and do right, but perhaps more be cause there has never been any real cause to be otherwise.

The meeting of the bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church, in May, at Portland, to ar range assignments of the superin tendents to the conferences to meet during the coming six months will be an event of interest to Methodists and also the general public, as these distinguished men will make addresses in interest of timely demands, and preach on Sunday In pulpits of lit city. The board of these Inshnpj Is a large one, and they hail from the vikia of the earth, but mostly from areas limited In extent within the United States without Impairing tn the least ths plan of general superintending. These men are as unlike as they ought to bo to Impart variety and expertnees to the work they do ao well. The present bishops of the Meth odist church Instead of falling behind their predecessors are In advance of thorn, as they ought to be. The gen eral intelligence, and the demands upon leadership at the present time are vatlly greater than ever before, and greater tushoya In attainment nd ability are the result. Still some folks think the giants In churcn and state were in other days, and that the pigmies have arrived. Not so. Dr. Cadmau. a foremost preacher him. self, calls liishop McConiicll, whom the writer know as a lad In Ohio, the most luminous preacher today of the American pulpit. His books are read by the general public. These bishops of a great church are not despots, but brothers. There Is so much care In their election thai it Is practically Impossible for a srlf centered man to be elected. The duties of the office are so delicate, as they touch so many families of preach ers, that if there be a lack of brother liness ln nature. It can be a grace attained. Methodist bishops have no easy places, as the demands upon them are so many and so exacting, and hlle they love homes, wives and children, they are really w'thout them. They are ever upon the move. Indeed there are no easy places any where unless It bo with editors. These bishops are properly honored by all who coino directly or Indlr. ctly n contact with them. hen honor and deference die, then noisy sclf- niportance is alive. . H. J. ITOADLEY.
