GEORGE WASHINGTON A critical study of the career of George Washington only enhances our estimation of his vast and varied abilities " For as commander in chief of the colonial armies from the beginning of the war to the proclamation of peace, as presi- i dent of the convention which framed the Constitution of the United States, and as the first president of the United States under that Constitution, Washington has a distinction differ ing from that of all other illustrious Americans. - No other ' name bears or ean bear such a relation to the governments Not only by; his military genius his patience, his sagacity, '.his " courage, and his skill was our national independence won, but he helped in largest measure to draft the chart by which, the nation was guided ; and he was theTfirst chosen of the peo- pie to put in motion the new government. His was not the bold- ness of martial display or the charm of captivating oratory, but his! calm and steady judgment won irien's support and i amimanded their confidence by appealing, to their best, apd noblest; aspirations e V" 1 -And withal Washington was ever so modest' that at no " time in his career did his personality seem the least in trusive And he was above the temptation of -power. He spurned "the suggested crown. He would have no honor which the people did not bestow. And he was likewise above the greed I of gain! He would accept no salary for serving his people as their chief executive. The- richest . man in "the United States of his day, and ! mingling with the aristocrats of his time, he was still of the " "people and in sympathy and accord with them. The only time Washington formally addressed the constitutional conven '; tion during all its sessions over which he presided, he appealed for a larger representation of the people in the lower house of congress, and his appeal was instantly heeded. Thus he was ' "ever keenly watchful of the, rights of the people in whose ! hands was the destiny of our government then as now. .- i Masterful as were his military campaigns, his civil admire ,-istration commands equal admiration. His foresight was marvelous ; his conception of the philosophy of government j ; - his insistence upon the necessity of education; morality, and enlightened citizenship to the progress and permanence of , the Republic cannot be contemplated even at this period -without filling us with astonishment at the breadth of ; his ..jcomprehension and the sweep of his vision. The immediate present was not his sole concern, but our future good his constant theme of study ' ; . C IDs was no. narrQW.view of government. He blazed the path of liberty;, laid the foundations upon which we have 4 grown from weak and scattered colonial governments to a united Republic whose domains and power and whose liberty vahd freedom have become the admiration of the world The forms of their guarantees copied by every govern V men,t of the people launched in all the wide world since that Great deeds do not stop in their -growth, and those of Washington will expand in influence in all the centuries to follow. They now inspire the great leaders of China, seeking V to lead a third of the human race to a place of order and r$-...if.'. progress.-., The nation and the name of Washington are inseparable. Washington lived and will live because what he did.was for the exaltation of man. the enthronement- of conscience, and the establishment of a government : which , recognizes all tjic governed And so. too, let us fondly hope and believe, will the nation live victorious overall obstacles, adhering to the immortal principles which Washington taught and Lincoln sustained And. which stand for a promise of liberty, enlightment and perpetual peace in every land under the shining sun. REFORESTATION House bill 121, for reforestation of two and a half million acres of privately owned cut-over and. burned-over forest land in Oregon was defeated yesterday afternoon;- : Not because the members of the lower branch of the legislature, or a majority of them, do not believe in coni prehensive scheme for reforestation, but because it was the sense of part of the members of that body that the measure proposed was intended to exempt from adequate, taxation large bodies of lands, more than toi conserve and increase the wealth of the state by proper reforestation methods. i Be that aa it may, the state of Oregon should undertake the making of a proper law that will 'stand the test of time: that will both do justice to holders of land and guarantee the preservation of the timber, wealth of the state. ' It should be the iuty of men of vision to prepare such a measure for the consideration of. the legislature at its next "And it would not be out of place forthe legislature, even at this eleventh hour, to make provision for a commission to mal:e a study of the who! matter and report with a proper rncssure at the next session. , If the" .proposed measure to be voted on by the people rr-fr-T the pay of legislators f 10 a day will girrI5jfcf WASHINGTON'S LIFE"AS"SEEN BY THltAllTBTr W ' : J; - fill W. a . m WW-T W a WW ar-fc : ' .!

Not that we have not had fine samples of lofty statesmanship under' the former meager pay ; but there is" need for a greater proportion of such samples among the whole body of ninety lawmakers. It is time to forget every local interest, and every other consideration, and finish the work of the legislative session in a manner to commend the membership to the million people represented. 11(.-vi- ' j OFFICE BUILDING FOft -STATE MEETS APPROVAL (Continoed from page 1.) and was said to hare proved suc cessful there. U.nderthe provisions q this bill person convicted of a felony three times, would-be sentenced to the penitentiary for life..- Senator Eddy said the bill , was in ;the In terest of law enforcement arid should be approved. .

The senate passed a bill introj duced by Representative Lonergan closing the Willamette river, t commercial fishing.- Senator Jones opposed the approval of this bUri on tbe grounds that it was nof popular with the residents of hi district and apparently was spon-f sored by the sportsmen of" the state." " ' T - - ' . Senator Moser said there was a strong demand for the passage of this bill. , . . "The wild life of Oregon is one of its greatest, assets," said Sena tor Hare, "and the question; at issue is of greater importance than any disagreement between sports men and the commercial fisher man. The bill should pass this senate." . nartman Bros. Jewelry Store: Watches, clocks, rings, pins. dia- monas, charms, cut glass, silver ware. Standard goods.
