The inquiry is not a mere cflies- tionnalre. If'is not; an enterprise for local manufacturers to treat lightly. On the contrary it lis an activity that concern allln both a direct and in direct business way. - Portland's showing' in 1919 was ry favorable, j Rival cities at tempted to distort the figures in their favor. The cooperation of the of ficial heads of every Portland in dustry, if freely and fully given Mr. Sanderson, will make a case for this city that rival cities cannot obscure or detract from. ';; , ' WILL IT DARE? TF THERE had been no Washlng ton conference, what? - We were in a mad race for arma ments. The building programs of the principal nations proposed the expenditure of $19,000,000,000 on navies against $3,000,000,000 before the war. Our own program pro posed 17 monster dreadnaughts, in cluding those recently launched, to gether with blue prints already pre pared for monster fighters of even greater tonnage and cost. All our naval appropriations con templated a navy as powerful as any In the world. Great Britain was planning to Veep up with us. Japan was doing the same, Governments pointed to the late war, to the havoc and devastation of It, to the suddenness with which it buret ovar the world, as Justification for these stupendous naval expendi tures. In order to give the people a rea son for these unheard of naval ap propriations it was necessary to fill them with fear and distrust. Japan was held up as ready to strike us at any time. Yv"ER in New York the other day - the head of a. detective aa-nnov was sentenced to 30 days' imprison-' ment and a fine of $500 for refusing information to a legislative investi gating committee. He was employed by big steel interests to war upon the labor unions. He sent his operators into union meetings and into' steel mills to spy upon and obtain the plans of the workers. The detective chief admitted hav ing been sentenced to a year's con finement in military prison in the Philippines on - a charge of drunk and disorderly conduct. He ad mitted a conviction of contempt of court in Kentucky. It was read into the court record that the detective had been dishonorably . discharged from the army and had faced charges while a member of a .police force. But the detective refused in formation to the legislative com mittee concerning the operations of hia detective force in spying upon workers. He openly defied the law, He refused to recognize the authority of the duly constituted investigating committee. Most every morning newspaper editors find on their desks literature prepared by the gigantic corpora tions, indicating that' the corpora tions" profits are small. There is literature telling how the workers are treated like princes. There is literature telling why the workers keep the cost ofjtfving at peak prices. It is all prepared by paid publicity agents. That is a part of the -cost of operation of the plants. The de tective forces are a part of the cost of operation. The legislative lobby ists and politicians .are another part of the -cost of operation." The cost of publicity agents, de tective forces, lobbyists and politi cians is great.

Feb. 10. To the Bditor of Tbe Journal It is said that "truth is stranger than fiction.', but this' holds true in the amazing case of Henry Ford. A few years ago he was a poor and obscure man. Now he ia about the richest man in the TJnitecL States, it not in the world. This is the more remark able, since he is not an educated man nor had he powerful friends, nor did he spring from a famous family. What is more, and vastly better, is that be nas become wealthy In any capacity, the lottery promoter evidently considered Fatty at $2500 a week a fine Investment for his uplift performances, and fully up to the spir itual and intellectual demands of his patrons.- Is it any wonder that they Btyle cities that stand for such stuff hick towns" and the inhabitants thereof TUbeaTV Government chemists now report that "synthetic whiskey" is becoming widely popular inj the manufacture of illicit booze, jits 'deadly errects are voO apparent as those of booze made from wood alcohol.

The poor mutt who buys to pay those bills? everything that comes along in the shape of bootleg booze takes his life in his hands every time he swallows a drink. THE BUSINESS WOMAN SOMETHING BESIDES MONEY ALMOST unbelievable!'; ex--tA-clalmed the San Francisco Call and Post, its reference being to the TTnlon Pacific's recent gift of 20 acres, including a portion of Mult nomah falls, to Portland. The San Francisco newspaper adds: There'a something strange, then, in the gift of a watarfall to the city .of Portland. It must be damaged, must be difficult to exploit. I mast be situated in tha midst of so much other good water power that the engineers do not grieve or its Idleness. In other worda, according to the IT IS quite pleasant to encounter the testimony of a Portland busi ness woman that by business women all business men are not regarded as he-vamps lying in wait to devour innocent young things tempted Into a business career. The very large majority of bust ness men, says this business woman expect from women In their employ only one thing quality and effici ency in work. They are apt to be annoyed rather than otherwise by primping, affecta tion and other flapper idiosyncrasies. Despite romantic stories to the con trary they consider good taste fully desirable in woman's business Local History From The Dalles Chronicle ine very interesting account of life at Cloud Cap Inn, the lovely mountain retreat located on the northern flank nf Mount Hood, as described by Mrs. Sarah ianguie in an account Dublished in the Chronicle last evening, prompted one of our friends to commend us upon the) story, and in so doing she brought uo the subject of historical articles In gen eral. Often we have wondered how treat is public interest in the historical articles that are published by many newspapers. Nearly every paper nowadays has a col umn corresponding to our own "Look ing Backward" In which interesting bits from old volumes 25 or 50 years before are reprinted. These are auite' sharnlv followed, as we have occasion to know, and the compiler has to . be almost as careful in noting them as he would be lu nnuug me news or today. For in stance, we have always thSt delicate point of agea When Jennj Jones was honored with a birthday Dartv on her sixteenth anniversary, that wasn't so Da"- years- ago. But now Jenny aoesn t care to have the mathematicians aaamg is to 25, especially if she is un married, and not unfrequently the Jen nies so exposed take pains to tell the unfortunate editor about it. not by grinding the faces of the poor and paying low wages, but ouite to the contrary ; in fact, ne pays more than double the wages, of any manufacturer known. No strike or lockout has occurred at his. immense plants anywhere, lief seems equally at home and equally successful at running a railroad, paying double wages and charging less freight by far and want ing to take less, but the interstate com merce commission forbids. "Don't take the burden off the people; heap more on," seems to be the- desire of the greedy rich. Now he comes forward with a proposition to run the Muscle Shoals project, where the government has spent millions with no result in. sight. Here he is opposed by malefactirs of great wealth who say Ford is an enemy to his class, and that if his Just and fair treatment of labor becomes more pronounced they, too, may be compelled to pay decent wages. If this attempt to do still more good for labor and revive a prostrate mausiry is inwiraicu uj congress it will hear from an indignant people, who are thoroughly in eympauiy with Ford in all his undertakings. The Golden Rule is the essence of true religion and although Ford makes no nmfpsion whatever, he is one or me very few rich men who have ever put it Into nrsetiee.

It is disheartening. : Does the shortage mean that peo ple prefer 50 or more drives a year? Does it mean that we are ,to be con tinually engaged in begging that newcomers and others will be led to believe that we are a city of mendi cants? . ,' , " ' ' ' f: . . If enough people believe the old haphazard evstem, with, its duplica tion, waste , and costly overhead, is better than the' present businesslike system, then it will be back to the old system.. ; " a But it will be a backward step and a most regrettable step. newspaper, as an historical' publication. is a- mostimportant unit in the chrono logical bibliography of the country. The ! news of the day is history, or will be ,nen men 50 years hence pry Into the musty old volumes. But more than this, the newspaper is doing a great work, we believe, in stepping out of its up-to- me-mmute news columns and delvine Into the sidelights of the community's life that are otherwise fading behind the mists of time. The manner in which Pioneer John Smith, who crossed the plains in 1852, lived, tilled his lands and made his way is of insignificant mo ment to the man who is building tin a history of his nation, but a composite picture of all these pioneers almost tells the complete story. Their thoughts and actions made the history of their time. The sidelights and those are the things upon wnicn tne newspaper must special ize often serve to tell why such and such an eventbf national import oc curred when it did. Bancroft or any of the other historians could not have included in theip volumes accounts of the roaring days when the great wool trucks, laden with the clip of all Kastern Oregon, poured into The Dalles In unending streams, their bur dens to be loaded on the boats and gent out to, the world. Nor could they tell of the isolated and unknown emigrant from the Fast who hoarded his little sack of grain that it might be the no cleus of the crops which he would force the unknown soils' of the Western land to yield. Tet taken altogether, those isolated happenings of the past have merged into a mighty movement which today is oc cupying the center of public attention The balance of power at Washington is moving westward. The. control of the nation's affairs In congressional halls .Is passing from the industrial centers of the East which have always controlled them to the agricultural countries of the West. The sc-caled agricultural bloc today Is the massed political result of the patient toiling of the grain hoarders and the efforts of those venturesome men who saw their little bands of sheep increase to huge numbers and their herds of cattle crowding hillsides that but a short time before had felt only the hoof of the buffalo. The newspaper is in a position where It can get these stories, which serve not only as the sources for the researches of historians of the future, but which can not be other than full of Inspiration to the man who is fighting his battle toi day.

In the social records of the Cocoa Tree House, one of the Ijondon coffee bouses. in the middle of the eighteenth century, no figure stands out more prominently than Charles James Fox, one of the most reckless gamblers of the age, as well as an orator and statesman of the highest rank. Fox occupied lodgings close to Brooke's coffee bouse, and as soon as he arose, which generally was very late, he went to the club where his political asso ciates would gather to discuss their plans. Fox's whole time was divided betweea the' gambling clubs and: the house of common. Like every other gambler, be was frequently hard up, lacking , even the odd Shillings to supply his daily needs.
