: Perhaps the happiest man la Port'
land today is Raphael. Gpldenstein of
1435 East Twelfth street, north, who
has Just returned from a great east
ern university with college honors aud
a splendid scholastic' record.
But nine years ago Mr. Goldensteln
arrived In the United States with
practically no education except the one
sided religious Hebrew- training which
He received la his native land.
Goldensteln was born in 1885 In the
Mty of Eachtshisati in southern Rus
sia. At the age of seven he was sent
?y hts parents to the north where he
attended many chadarim and Jeshi
,.ooths In . Poland and Lithuania. In
- these purely religious, old-fashioned
schools, where nothing but . the, taJ
.mud and- the : old Hebrew; testament
were studied, day and ntcht. In a most
sncienf eystemless and orderless manner,-
Raphael passed ' the majority of
hia youthful days, in -poverty, misery
' and want. At the age of 16 he was
ordained orthodox rabbi and hi fath-
er,:' who la - also a minister, desired
him very much to Ret married at that
- time, which . he strenuously refused

Zionism - Takes Hold,
About the same' period and the fol

" his heart, - which soon developed Into
. x fierce conflagration that consumed
All early religious teachings, and or
thodox beliefs and superstitious cere
' naonial practices and modern .Hebrew
titerature occupied his whole atten
tion. t
1 Zionism and nationalism now filled
' his ; mind, and even the Socialistic
idea of Carl Marx, and La Tola found
;heir -way to him at this "storm and
ijtress" riperiod of his life, with tlie re
ult that at the age of 20 he left Rus
sia for America, landing in New Tork.
lie came directly to Portland, which
he ' made hia permanent home. Here
he worked until he accumulated the
necessary sum of 1300, the fine due
- from the Russian peasant for his hav
ing missed military . service.
Starts at Very Bottom.
By this time Ooldensteln had reached
"manhood. Nevertheless he started to
xjhool In thiB country at the very bot-
torn, "'Mamma loves baby; baby loves
roamma," In th first reader.

- school In 1907, graduating In 1911, ;

he entered the University of Cincin

June, with the . degree of bachelor
of arts. At the same time, upon the
instigation and advice of Rabbi Jonah
B. Wise, he also entered the Hebrew
Union college, he only. Jewish school
of theology on thin continent, train
ing Jewish leaders' and teachers for
liberal Judaism, s -
In these two colleges he worked
very hard, but accomplished consider
able. The .university he attended in
th morning and the Hebrew college
in the afternoon, thus killing two
birds with one stone, and although the
Hebrew Union college course is one
that covers a period not less than nine
years.: In addition? to four yaare of
university training, yet on account of
Mr. Ooldenstcin's knowledge of Hebrew
and ancient Jewish lore be is making
both the university -and .Hebrew Union
college in five .-years- time.
While attending the colleges Mr.
Ooldensteln .has f conducted a large r
Ilgloua .summer school, In ,1312. in
Newport, Ky., and ? another -regular
Sunday school at -Cumminsvtlle, Ohio.
He also tutored privately as he did Jn
Portland and preaehed in many -different
cities In the states of Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois. He is the author of a
number of articles. jiones and poems
in Hebrew Yiddish aid English.
Next September h' is going to Enid,
Okla., during the approaching Jewlah
holidays, and next year he will grad

Dr. Thwing- employs Mr, Rockefeller
as an example of tbe meaning of his
own epigram. "The chief aim of educa
tion is to make a man thinker."
"Learning has small value by itself,"
said Dr. Thwing f yesterday. "It has
great value aa a means of teaching one,
to use hi thinking -powers.
The present war, Dr. Thwing be
lieves,; will .bankrupt the old world
both in money and brains, and this,
he thinks, will add greatly to the
burden of thinkers In America, who
must bear the brunt of the work of re
adjusting chaotic ; world conditions.
"On the youth tof . America will be
laid , this burden.',' " continued Dr
Thwing, "and they must not fail in

Proportion. ' '-
By Alfred D. Crlde.
One of the great fundamental re
forms constantly advancing is that of
proportional representation, sometimes
called the effective ballot. - Denmark
Is the latest country; to advance along
the line of making1 its w legislative
bodies more representative, and the
ballots of its citizens more effective. '
The new constitution : f Denmark
not only provides for equal suffrage
for women, but for the- election In its
upper bouse of 44 members by a sys
tem intended to give to each party Its
proportion ' of representatives accord
ing to its voting strength. By giving
each party Its Just proportion the ma
jority will rule, but the minorities win
be heard. . ' -vi
Tasmania System Simplest.
There are many different details and
various methods to secure the result.
and it is in the details that the In
vestigator becomes confused. The most
accurate and practical system is in op
eration m Tasmania, where the voter
marks tale ballot with the 'figures 1, t
and 3 - opposite the name of his pre
ferred candidates.- That is all he has
to do with it - The state ; is divided
into five districts electing six- mem

Difficult to Explain. -
! In Denmark .the election laws- at
tempt to secure a combination of the
old 'mis-representative ' system, with
the new effective systems. It is there
fore difficult to explain to a foreigner
and difficult for even -a student of
elective methods - of securing propor
tional Representation to fully under
stand. The Danish people and law
makers understand the principle and
are working toward. It hampered by
traditions, special-- privileged interests,
prejudices and political superstitions.

by the people . in districts . returning
from 1' to 12 members,- only two dis

called the legislative council, is here
after to be elected from four districts,
two returning nine members eaoh, and
two returning 11 members each, -. The
methods- .closely follow the lines of
Tasmania which have been tested out
in several ' elections and found to be
practical and satisfactory. Some modi
fications, however, tending to facili
tate the counting of the ballots,- have
been proposed, in both Tasmania and
New Zealand, and may be adopted, -
Sweeping Changes Expected. -
Cities, and towns. in New Zealand
have been authorized to apply the same
principle and law in the election of
their local governing bodies. The house
of representatives Is still to be elected
in - single : member constituencies, ' but
the agitation for "ef f ective voting"
will no doubt carry In"1 the course of
a; very few years the election -of the
entire -New Zealand - parliament. - The
upper house of Nw Zealand has here
tofore been a life membership body ap
pointed by the crown, and the making
of it a genuine representative body Is
expected - to make" some ' Sweeping
changes in its said existence. . -'
- The agitation for the Tasmanlan sys
tem is - widespread throughout Aus
tralia, and it is thought that western
Australia will be the next to follow.
Majority Soles. -
- The Tasmanlan lower -house is com
posed Of 30 members and there - are
but two parties in it. The idea that
proportional representation will give a
number of factional parties is not car
ried out by the application of the prin
ciple In its purity. The radical and
conservative elements of the political
field' find their representation within
the two great parties, and in propor
tion. Men who are radical on (one or
two - propositions are, often : conserva
tive on others, and. measures are dis
cussed with less partisanship, bigotry
and. crass Intolerance where the whole

' Power of the Storm Xing.
Who would not give part of their
lives to experience the thrill that
comes over ne who v encounters a
storm high up on a mountain? When
added to this thrill one encounters the
roar of thunder reverberating in a
dozen different valleys, the lightning
flashing and the swlh and roar of
hall swept by. wind at the snow line
who has lived that will ever forgat
the pleasure that, fear can give to man.
Such must have been the sensations
that caught and held captive a recent
party Of local mountain climbers who
attempted to scale Mount Hood from
the side of Government Camp. At
least that is the way some of the par
ticipants in the climb who encountered
such a storm Indicate the nature of
their experience. The party consisted
of J. B. Waggstaff, Mica Maud Choller,
Mr. and Mrs. J. Vlgellus, Francis fc'ul
livan, Mr. and Mrs. II. II. Salvert. The
start was made from Government
Camp at 6:30 the evening, of July 13,
giving them time to get to the timber
line by 8:30 the same evening, where
they pitched their camp for the night.
At 9:80 the following morning they
started for the summit and succeeded
in "making good time until they
reached the snow line, when little
fluffs of wind began stirring, followed
a little later by a terrific roar, like "the
sound of a. forest fire In, the distance.
Then strsy flashes of lightning begin
shooting through the clouds and lit
them up like a lake "on fire.
The wind began to increase In vio
lence end 'the air took on a crisp ami
biting snap. 'Off in the distance th;y
heard a slow, rythmic rumble which
kept . Increasing in volume- and more
and more perky pulsations until it
burst Into a horrifying roar and deaf
ening explosion which seemed to shak
thjf whole mountain and set the ha
vens on fire. Then came the hail ant
the wind and the sleet and the roar
as if a million Uhlans had broke looso ,
and were charging at them from some
entrenched hell among th cloudn.
Encountering this kind of opposi
tion the party retreated In haste to
their original camp ef the morning and
finally - succeeded In reaching a place
of .safety as thy passed the timber
line In their descent. -
