'- Which proves if we are short of leaders we Are not des V prs. Pres. Frank ia one i r f those who m has been captain 01 me guara many years. As editor, lecturer, college presiueut, uikC writer, Frank has earned his bread and butter by making "leadership" his profession. We know of none who has said more things on more suDjects in more mcuict,uu M. than the eminent Doctor Frank. He is a professional writer and speaker and like most of the breed words and phrases are his stock in trade. The world has no' famine of lead ers' of his type who are quick with quack remedies all done up in pretty adjectives. - i ,. . ; Kussia has a leader in SUlm, Italy in Mussolini, yet we very much prefer to remain American without such leader ship. Even the democrats; would prefer Pres. Hoover to either of these. -I , . ' i This rant about "leadership is chiefly cant. Economic forces do not yield to heroic phrases. Where is the young broker representing Morgan who played the part of Hora tio at the bridge in November, 1929, and offered to buy vast quantities of U. S. Steel at 150 and by this display of 'lead ership"? saved the day? Well, he is now president of the stock exchange, and apparently isn't interested in buying Steel at 90. Where even is John D. Rockefeller who emerged from obscurity and said he and his son were buying stocks, twenty months ago, and who is presumed to have made the offer to buy a million shares of Standard of New Jersey at 60? If he got them it was too bad for John because the stock has been skating around 30-35 lately. Leadership? The only thing a leader can do when a hurricane breaks is bend his back to the storm and trust he will not be swept away. We were greatly impressed with the remarks made re cently by Walter S. Gifford, president of the American Tel- unnh nr? folonli nno PMnnnTiv uphn ia fiTlf i of the CTPflt "leaders" of industrial America. Speaking before the an nual luncheon of the Associated Press, Mr. Gifford sum marized his views in three simple propositions: . S. ;. , "1. i That the path of progress is an evolution from our pres ent situation. ."!' t" ' ..,, j : 'I-'' "2." That the democratic method followed in America not only provides abler and more effective though leas spectacular leadership than any other, but also far more ability for attain ment amongst the public generally; and i "J. 'That the democracy provides a far higher economic so cial and tplrltual objective than any other form of society." The significant thing in this, coming from the head of the greatest corporation in the United States, perhaps in -the world, is he not only expresses an opinion contrary to the Glenn Frank theory of "leadership famine" ) but defends the very, principle of the democratic method: that the solu tion of pressing problems will not come from messiahs but from the slow distillate of the combined thought of all the active, energetic members of society. President Gifford has has right opinion, in our judgment. j i ; ' Now the Justice of the peace in Paris has sold out the stock and 'fixtures ot Oanna Walska'a perfume shop in the Rue de la Palz. She Is or was the wife of Harold McCormlck of the Chicago farm ma chinery family, tried to break Into the opera with McCormlek's mil lions but didn't make the grade. The McCormlcks have certainly done some queer matrimonial capers. Harold and his first wife, Edith Rockefeller, divorced, and Harold married this Polish songbird. Edith was reported as having a case on a young Swiss architect, but It never reached the altar stage. Then daughter Muriel married a Swiss riding master, and now son Fowler has married his chum's mother, Mrs. Anne Stlllman, Love or the lack of ft plays queer kinks with people; but the rich seem to get It In the neck the worst. Happy marriages seem to be more frequent among the poor and obscure; or Is it merely that the troubles of the rich get more news prominence? - ....: : -,!..-... Gov. Pinchot has announced his Intention to abolish the "coal and Iron" police ot Pennsylvania. This was an organization hired by the Industries and deputized by the state. As their chief duty was to carry oat orders of those who paid their .wages.1 their methtfas were to Ignore civil liberties of the people In suppressing strikes or lawful' assemblies of working people. The governor says that state police -win hereafter be -used to preserve order about Industrial plants. This is a much better arrangement. It is always dangerous to glxP power of law to one aide of an industrial dispute. Strange isn't It that we hear no complaint from newspapers because the Immigration- service hired an nnder-eover man who Joined the communist party in Portland and then turned in evidence against his "comrades" and even turned over their j records to , the government which they trusted him with? If he had served as a prohibition agent, for example, the: yowls ot "stool pigeon," "trail er." "in grate," "agent provocateur" would have rolled glibly i of f the Journalistic underwoods. There is a difference, it seems, in which laws you want enforced. j The citizen soldiers who are packing artlllsry around on the parade field this week at Camp Clatsop are blanket y blank jad the weather is cooler.

HENDRICKS- Gathoile history: Oa July t, 1SS4. only SI days before Jason Lee stepped over the ridge of the Rocky mountains In the South Pass, and before they knew he was coming, the French settlers of the Willamette valley wrote to J. N. Provenchsr, bishop of Julio polls in the Reo River set tlement (now North Dakota), ask ing that religions 'teachers might be sent to them.-. The arrival of the Methodist missionaries - made the Catholic settlers still more anxious to have among them teachers of their own faith, and on Feb. 21, 1835, they addressed a second appeal to Bish op Provencher, to which he re plied by enclosing: to Dr. John Mc- Loughlin a letter of advice and consolation, tn which he expressed regret that no priests could be spared from the Red River set tlement, and promised to obtain help from Europe or Canada as soon as possible. The following year (1826) tha officers of the Hudson's Bay com pany in London were asked pass age for two priests to the Oregon country by the company's annual express from Montreal, with the object of establishing a catholic mission In the Willamette valley. The answer was that the company would grant the request on one condition, namely, that the mis sion should bs established In the Cowlits valley, the reason given being- that "the sovereignty of the British north of the Columbia was unquestioned, while the right to the country south of the Columbia was still undecided." V No objection being made to this requirement, the archibshop of Quebec appointed Rev. r. N. Blan ehet of the Montreal district to hare charge of the Oregon district. with the title - of vlcar-general (meaning: with wide authority). and for his assistant save him the Rev. Modesto Demers of the dis trict of Jullopolls. -1 . They left Montreal la May, 18 S 8, with the company's express. which also had a number, of other travelers under Its protection. All went well until the Little Dalles on the Columbia was reached. While the party was descending these rapids one of the boats was wrecked and nearly half the com pany was drowned. Those drowned were: Mr. Wal- ace and wife, English tourists; Mr. Banks, a . botanist, and his wife, the latter a daughter of Sir George Simpson, governor of the Hudson's Bay company; Mrs. Wil liams; two little girls named Tremblay, and five others.

"If thou workest at that which Is before thee, following right reason seriously, vigorously, calm- y, wnhout allowing anything else to distract thee, but keeping thy divine part sure, if thou shouldst be bound to give It back Immedi ately; if thou boldest to this, ex pecting nothing, fearing nothing. but satisfied with thy present ac tivity according to Nature, and with heroic truth In every werd and sound which thou ntterest, thou wilt live happily.

V On arriving at Fort Vancouver tne cathoue missionaries were waited upon by a delegation front the Canadian settlement, in the Willamette valley, consisting of Joseph Gervais, Etlenne Lucier and Pierre BelUque.

In the summer of ISSt Father Demers went to the uDDer coun try; taught the Indians at Fort Colvllle; spent two weeks at Fort Walla Walla. In the mean time the vicar-general had established himself on the Cowlits in a log house 20 by 30, erected for his use; for residence and chapel. He named it the St, Xavler mission. Crops were grown that year; Fa- mer .Biancnet visited the Indians at Nlsqually, and la early fall he was back at Fort Vancouver with Father Demers. Dr. MeLourhlin being in London, where he secur ed a withdawal of the order against the priests settling in the wiuameite valley, James (later oir jamesj Douglas. In charge, permitted them to enter this field. Demers went back to hare chars- of the Cowlits mission, and Father uaancnei came to the Willamette, arriving Oct, 12, 183 1. K K A log house was already await ing him, "four miles above Cham- poeg," having been built in 1838 when the French began to enter tain the hope of having priests among them. On December 22 he blessed the bell be had brought with him, and on January (. 1840, the log- building- was formally dedicated to St, Paul, and for the first time mass was celebrated la what is now Oregon. - W . The next three weeks were de voted chiefly to religious exer cises, "the men being; examined to ascertain if their prayers were re membered, the women and chil dren Instructed In their dntiea. and all made to confess their sins." S S According to Bancroft: "The fourth week was occueied in visit. lng tha settlers at . their homes, ana selecting a square mile of land for the Catholic establish ment." V V Where was the original St. Paul Catholic church? The writ er believes it wis about two miles west of the present brick church in St. Paul, on the Thomas Con nor farm, and opposite the mouth of the Yamhill river; that ft wss on a high bank overlooking Mis sion lake (now Connor lake), and in piam sight ot the Willamette river. . There was - another lake close by,- then called Lae Ignace, but now about dried up. - ; , It was a 'large log house, either originally or with later additions. One writer says 70 feet long. An other informant says SO feet Ions, or rather three buildings with a single root of SO feet. The writer now believes that was the only St. Paul church up to the construction of the present brick church In St, Paul, and that the small white building in the (second) cemetery, still stand ing but not la use was a "chapel" rather than a church, (There was an earlier cemetery, near the pres ent St. Paul creamery.) The present brick church at SL Paul is the oldest one in Oregon buUt of brick. Its corner stone was laid May 24. 1841. and It wasl opened for service Nov, l of that year. One Catholic writer said it was the first brick building erected In Oregon. The first one was the house of Geo. Gay, below Salem, on the Yamhill-Polk county line, built In 1843. . Gov. , Abenethy erected a brick house at Oregon City in 1344.
