ACE NO BAR TO MENTALITY
Men Past Forty Accomplish
Great Things,
ON WORLD'S ROLL OF HONOR
MEN' OVER 60 WHO DR. OSLR
SAYS OUGHT TO BE
CHLOROFORMED.
Judge C.B. Bellinger. William RciJ.
Many of the Intellectual Giants
Have Given Their Best to Man
kind In Their Latest
Years.
A day or two ago Dr. William Osier, on
the occasion of his departure from Johns
Hopkins to accept a chair at Oxford, de
livered an address, in which he declared
that a man became passe at 40. and at GO '
became -4so useless to society that he
should be retired or chloroformed.
In order to get a consensus nf the best
opinion in Portland on the subject, prom
inent professional men were asked to ex
press themselves on the subject. Some
kindly responded, and below are Given
their views:
Ex-Judgi McGinn Agrees.
Ex-Judge Henry McGinn Is one of the
few who agree with Dr. Osier. "He's
right," he answered. "After 40 a man
loses his enthusiasm and his zest.
It Is the young men, the boys, one
might say, who are doing and hnvn done
the great things. I'm well across on tho
wrong side of the deadline: so 1 can talk
frankly. After 40 a man's destiny Is fixed.
The Inspiration Is gone. If he has suc
ceeded reasonably well, he la satisfied,
and if he has failed, he is hopeless. Dr.
Osier Is right, and he has experienco to
support him in his statement."
Right Within Limitations.
"Within certain limitations, the doctor
is right." said Dr. J. Whltcomb Brougher,
of the White Temple. "By the time a
man reaches 40 his course in life Is
usually fixed, and the man who disco vers
or develops any great truth, whether of
religion, science, art, philosophy, or lit
erature, does so before passing that age
limit. There are, of course, exceptions,
but In the main the rule will hold Rood."
Absurd and Ridiculous, He Says.
"I regard Dr. Osier's statement as ab
surd and ridiculous," said Rufus Mallory.
"There are many and many Instances
where men have done their most useful
and beneficial acts after they have passed
even their sixtieth year."
Depends on the Individual.
"It depends entirely upon the Individ
ual." said C. A. Dolph. when questioned
as to his opinion on the uscfullness of
men after they have passed their fortieth
year. "Some men are useful after the
age of 40. or even 70 years of age. while
others under 40 are of no use whatever,
olther to themselves or to others. If Dr.
Osier Is of the latter class, I hope he will
be given his choice either of retirement
or chloroform, as suits him best: and if
he Is near tho limit, he need jiot wait on
my account."
Judgment Not Warranted.
Archbishop Alexander Christie said:
"Dr. Osier's gloomy judgment upon men
who have passed the age of 40 years Is
hardly warranted by tho evidence at
hand. Tt Is a little rash to run counter
to a universal persuasion, and certainly
the conviction of society is that It Is at
about the age of 40 that her members at
tain that maturity of mind and stability
of character which lit men for the
weightier responsibilities of life."
Thinks Dr. Osier Wrong.
"The statement made by Dr. Osier In
Baltimore regarding a' man's usefulness
aftor 40 years of age Is, in my opinion,
foolish and absurd." said ex-Senator
Joseph Simon, when questioned concern
ing the matter. "My personal observa
tion has been decidedly to the contrary."
continued Mr. Simon. "I believe a great
number. In fact, the majority of men. ac
complish more after they have passed
their fortieth year than before.
"A man doesn't rach the prime of life
until he has passed 40 years. The ten
dency of mankind Is to live longer In this
highly civilized age than they did In past
generations. This naturally lengthens a
man's ago of usefullness. Mr. Osier's the
ory might apply to the races that Inhab
ited the world several centuries back, but
It Is decidedly out of place In this ad
vanced stage of civilization."
Seif-Evldent Absurdity.
Dr. A. E. Rockey said, when asked for
his opinion:
"The absurdity of Dr. Osier's state
ments should be self-evident to every In
habitant of the city of which George II.
Williams Is Mayor. Age as applied to the
decline of physical or mental vigor is a
relative term. Certain physical changes
known as senile degenerations begin with
some persons quite early In life. Pre
maturely bald and gray heads are In
common evidence. Atheroma and seler
osis of the arteries with their attendant
disturbances of the heart, kidneys and
nervous system arc of similar type, but
less conspicuous, because they require
physical examination to detect their pres
ence "in early stages. The great majorlty
of persons, however, escape these degen
erations when they occur at all until a
much' later period In life than that men
tioned by Dr. Osier. Mental vigor Is
maintained to a much later period than
physical vigor. An absolutely youthful
condition of the tissues, histologically
speaking. Is not at all uncommon In the
seventies, and even In the eighties. Sur
geons have abundantly demonstrated this.
To mention the Intellectual giants who
have past middle life made history In
war, politics, music, poetry, art and sci
ence, would be to read from the world's
roll of honor thousands of names which
may wH till us with pride and admira
tion at the great achievements of mature
men."
Agrees With Osier.
"I am fully In accord with Dr. Os
ier's views as expressed In a speech at

ships, but as to intellectual develop
ment, he is entirely at fault. Very few
men ever reach the zenith of their In
tellectual development Or knowledge
until they have passed the as:c of 10.
Tt Is generally between the ages of 40
to fin years.
"As a general rule. I do not believe
young men acquire a fixed or conserva
tive Idea of the great problems of life
until they have reached or passed their
40th year. It is after that ago Miat the
large majority of intellectual achieve

HASTEN ACTION ON DOMINGO
Senate Committee Will Consider
Proctocol During Sessions.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2T..-The forolgn
relations committee of the Senate, on mo
tion of Chairman Cullom, was today au
thorized to sit during sessions of the Sen
ate. The purpose of the committee Is to.
take up the Santo Domingo protocol and
consider It as far as possible at this ses
sion. It Is not expected to report it un
til the Senate Is convened In special ses
sion for executive business, but Immedi
ate consideration of the protocol in the
committee will greatly facilitate the work
of that session.
Vhen He Gets a Blow in the Stom
ach, Free Coldwell Screams
"No Fair," and Quits
for Good.
Have you ever heard of Free "Cold
well, prizefighter? Guess not. For the
reason that he has been the town pest
at Boring for several months and last
night ne got "his." Coldwell has been
posing as a full-fledged prizefighter at
this little Oregon burg for several
months. In this short space of time he
has walloped into dreamland several
Boring fistic aspirants. These victories
gave him the impression that he was'
a second Champion Jeffries. Coldwell
became a swashbuckler of the ancient
times and he swaggered about until
he became a town pest. Several of the
good citizens of this growing town
read through The Orcgonian that
Tommy Burns was training In Portland
for his match with Jack "Twin" Sulli
van. They wanted to get rid of this
up-to-date swashbuckler, so they hiked
to Portland and requested that Burns
put him out of business.
He Meets Mr. Bruso.
This caused a hundred local fight
fans last night to journey to Boring- to
see an alleged prizefight. They knew
that a good thing was to be pulled off.
They did not see a good thing, but
they had the pleasure of see
ing an alleged prizefighter quit like a
school, kid. Coldwell looks like Fitz
simmons. He is sorrel topped, has arms
like a gorilla, has the heart of a snail,
and has the punch of an Infant. Cold
well was itching for a fight, so when
the job was put up on him he fell to It
as easy as did Farmer Vance, when he
was gold-bricked out of 510,000. Four
rounds he stood up before Burns, who
was introduced as "Mr. Bruso," and
during those four rounds ho thought
he had knocked Burns down twice.
Some of the Innocenr Rlllies of Boring
tnought that Coldwell had Bruso go
ing and they howled their heads off.
They actually thought that the red
headed quitter was going to win an
otner fight, but a short-arm Jab to th
nose, in the fourth round gave Coldwell
a change of thought.
-When the delegation of citizens waited
on Tommy Burns and his manager, Larry
McKenny. the only request that they
made was that Burns would not kill Cold
well. They made this request because
they did not want to go to the expense of
paying for his funeral. Burns and Mc
Kenny promised this, and. the fight was
held in a building that Is sometimes used
as a lodgeroom. A ring was pltched-that
would nut have held two lnfant3. and
Burns, all the time he was In the ring,
was fearful that he would break through
the floor. Coldwell saw Burns, looked at
his own image in a mirror and concluded
he could whip a whole Clackamas County
of "Mr. Brusos." Mcrfcnny asked him
before the light how he wished to sblit
' up the ?4.9. H wanted the winner to
take all and the lo&'er to- pay the ex-
i pense of the hall. 73 cents. The 75 cents
was charged for the hall because there
was to be a dance after the fight. Tommy
Tracey was referee and Coldwell. after
he saw Burns, promised Traccy that he.
Coldwell. would pay him for his services.
Burns was 40 pound lighter than Cold
well, and for that reason the latter prom
ised his friends present that he would fin
ish him in Jig time.
Allowed to Stay Four Rounds.
j But he did not. Burns let him stay for
four rounds. Then he cut loose. A jah
' to the nose in the fourth chapter brought
the blood that was a shade darker than
his hair. In the fifth, in a clinch. Burns
walloped Coldwell In the stomach. It
i was Just a tap. but just as soon as the
red-headed piker could get his breath he
nowieu: "its no ia!r to hit a man in
the stomach. That's a foul."
Tommy Tracey almost threw a lit. The
timekeeper waited two minutes for the
Boring bruiser to get his courage, and
when there was "nothing doing" Tommy
gave the decision to Burns. Coldwell had
f 10O In his pocket and had hired a Boring
doctor to look after him in his corner,
so he could not understand "why Traccy
gave the decision to the stranger. Today
and for many days to come the good citi
zens of Boring will congratulate them
selves. They have rid themselves of the
town pest. Their only regret is that
Coldwell did not get the beating they had
mappod out for him.
Legacy Tax Does Not Date Back.
NEW YORK. Feb. 23. From 53,000.000 to
58,000,000 In taxes, upon legacies will be
cut off from the Federal Government by
an opinion handed down today by the
Circuit Court of Appeals. The opinion
sustains a decision of Judge Lacombe. of

acy law.
HELD UNDER HEAVY BOND.
Two Men Charged With Robbing
Saloon Are Identified.
Charles Marchand and Percy Treau
were held under 52500 bonds by Judge
Hogue yesterday to answer the chargo
of holding up Albert Hoeft's saloon, at
763 Hood street, several nights ago.
Hoeft and " F. FInley testified that
Treau had searched the men present
under Marchand's-orders, and that they
both were without masks. They recog
nized the two men without trouble.
There was no doubt regarding
Marchand from the beginning, but
Treau's part was not so obvious, a3
he had entered the saloon a moment
earlier than Marchand and was un
armed. He also remained after March
and left and seemed anxious to tele
phone the police.
Treau's complicity was testified to
by Detective Hartman, who said that
Treau was in Marchanrt's room, talking
to Marchand's wife when arrested.
