LIKE LINCOLN
T tf WASHINGTON defied the pub-
111 . lie, the House of Represen
y y tatives and his advisers and
. kept peace with Great
Britain; : v
Lincoln resisted Seward, Ignored
many political advisers and defied
an angry public by refusing to
, ffgbt Great Britain over the Mason
and Slldell affair, because, he said.
Great . Britain was In the right.
Wilson has resisted Roosevelt,
ignored the clamor of Jingoes and
defied militarists by refusing to
make war on Mexico and by de
clining to Involve America in the
European conflict.
AH three were criticized alike.
Each suffered - from " the lash ' of
pumic attacK. .History. Has ap
proved Washington and Lincoln.
On the day of Lincoln's anniver
eary. many minds will revert to
the - close parallel between - the
events of 1861-5 and 1913-6. It
almost seems as if fate had ex
pected two great social cataclysm?
and had) raised up a man for each
crisis. ,
Lincoln's hatred of American
encroachments In Mexico was
voiced In his famous -resolution,
his votes and his speeches In Con
gress In opposition to the Mexican
war. A i rancorous . criticism of
his attitude, a criticism that was
of ten I voiced in Jeers was visited
upon the Intrepid statesman.
. Wilson's opposition to American
oppression in Mexico has been
manifested in his refusal to recog
nize the Huerta tyranny, and by
his - determination not to invade
tLat" country with the armed forces
of the United States. Turbulence
in Mexico . like that in Wilson's
time was present during Lincoln's
time, and there was the same de
mand for armed Intervention. Both
presidents endured criticism in si
lence, and both adhered persist-'
ently to ' the policy of permitting
the Mexicans to work out their
own destiny. Lincoln was, assailed
and condemned for his course dur
ing the civil war. Jingoes, mili
tarists, tories, politicians and cop
perheads pursued him relentlessly
:nd constantly: His liberal policy
for the proposed admission of se
ceded states was condemned- as
treasonable.
In t. series of crises not less
rave, Wilson has been as- violent
ly assailed. Roosevelt has led the
hysteria of denunciation, and there
as. been a multitude of copyists
.'ilson's motives have been mls
- nrtrued and his purposes - ma-
-ned. His steady and patient
inerence to a course of settling
inferences with other nations by
iplomacy; rather than by war had
and plenty of critlcB, just &3
ere were plenty of critics of Lln-
la id the great crises of 1861-5.

Towed down about three miles with
the last of the ebb tide; weather very
squally; we came to about two .mues
from the village Chinouk with many
natives alongside."
Here for the first time. In the log
of the Columbia, Captain Robert Gray
from Boston recorded in I7?J the In
dian name that long ago attached to
the distinctive snow-melting wind that
rinw over the summit of the Cascade
mountains and changes in a twinkling
the weather of the inland empire.
Th nhinooir Indians were tne larg

of the Columbia, and their tanguaga
fnot the Chinook jargon of - later, de
velopment, but the native tongue) was
widely spoken, with dialectical varia
tions, along the Columbia as far east
ward as The ualies in eastern uregwn.
" Thus It came that the tribes of the
interior termed the warm, stiff breeze
that flows out of the west in midwin
ter, the ehinook wind, since It seemed
to -come out of the country of the Chl
nooks. Many years later the first
white settlers in the interior fell Into
tha uma erroneous belief that the
Chinook is a warm wind blowinr W

through the mighty gorge of the Co
lumbia.. . V

"It is a mistake, says an encyclo
pedia authority, "to think that tne
Chinook originates over the warm wa
ters . Of the Pacific, it is esseniumy
a descending wind and owes its tem
perature and dryness) to this fact. It
helona'n to the same class as the
Fohn winds of Switzerland.
"Several very different combinations
of conditions may cause descending
winds, but in any case descending air
bv comlnsr under greater pressure
must be compressed and therefore
warmed Jin at the rate of about one
degree Fahrenheit for each 18 feet
of descent Therefore a tan oi eouv
feet will raise the temperature of the
air by 30 degrees Fahrenheit, and as
this warmth is very felowly lost, the
warm air spreads over a wiae extent
of ground."
It ls an interesting coincidence that
the rirat severe winter experienced by
white men In the Inland empire, and
the first noted effects of the Chinook
wind occurred Just-i00 years ago. The
