Hawley Day at Roseburg
ROSEBURG; nestling on the hills along the South Umpqua
river, was host to all of Oregon last Saturday irra spon
taneous celebration in honor of being chosen as the site for
- the veterans' home' in the northwest. Thousands of people
responded to the invitation and enjoyed the cordial hospital
ity of the Roseburg people. It was a gala day for that city,
and while the time of preparation was short, an interesting
program was arranged and the i visitors were received with
such cordiality that the day proved a great success, i i j
Like skylarking children out for a good time, the Rose
burgers had to dress up. And just as children array theni-
- selves in the garb of their grown-up elders the Roseburgers
reached back into dim closets and down I into the depths of
mothball-guarded trunks and came forth with the varied
raiment of past generations. The dressing up had no con
nection with the veterans home but itgave the residents and
the visitors the thrill of knowing that the day was different
i from the ordinary, as indeed it was, for Roseburg.
i The planning committee clicked right with the day, for
while occasional clouds threatened, the rains did not come,
and the famous Umpqua sunshine prevailed enough to con
vince the visitors of the delightfulness of ; the climate of the
Douglas county capital. The outsiders were impressed most
favorably with the suitability of the location for the home.
Roseburg has a very pleasant year-round climate. It gets
hot in the summer days,-but is clqse enough to the mountains
to cool off well at nights ;and the winters are just about per
fect, i There is Jess snow and rain and more sunshine in the
winter months than in the Willamette valley. . If is beautiful
for situation too, invested as it is by the circling hills. j
The program of thei afternoon land jof the banquet at
night was a parade 6f notables both local, state and national.
Senator Steiwer, Congressman Hawley, Secretary of State
Hoss, State Treasurer Holman, were among the distinguished
speakers. Maj. Gen. George White found fishing bum on thf
North Umpqua so left his camp to come down for the ban
quet j But the real party was for Congressman W. C. Haw
ley.' 1 These knife-whetters in this end of! the first congres
sional district would have had a stomach-upset to see the
spontaneous tribute paid to Congressman! Hawley both in
, the afternoon program and at the evening banquet. He was
lauded highly for his part in securing legislation locating the
home in the Northwest, and for his fidelity to Roseburg hi
standing by; his pledge to support that city! for the location;
The climax came when in a skit by the Business and Profesj
sional Women of Roseburg at the banquet, Miss Roseburg, a
pretty young lady, who had received the symbolic soldiers
home planted a kiss on the cheek of the veteran representa
tive amid the applause of the banqueters, j I i ' . t '.-.-!
It might be well for those busy writing the specifications
- for Hawley's political coffin to visit southwest Opwn:; be
fore placing too high stakes for 1932. i One pfominLrt Doug
las county democrat predicted Hawley would get every demo
cratic vote in Douglas county, and that he would be re-elected
. by the biggest majority he ever had received; The ardor of
course will cool of f before a yearf rolls' round, but there was
no mistaking the sentiment manifest at Roseburg Saturday
toward Cong. Hawley. : -'1.1 '
... State Treasurer Holman was busy mixing poltical medi
cine too. He appeared as the personal ; representative of
Gov.- Meier, whose service to the people Holman lauded highly
in his evening speech. He also pledged himself to the pur
chase of the bonds of the city of Roseburg, and indicated that
while he would have to have the formal approval of the dis
trict attorney, he would look with an indulgent eye upon any
"clouds in the title" and rely upon the good faith of the peo
ple of Roseburg. ! He closed with; a layer of"brave men and
fair! women? but no babies were present so he couldn't kiss
them. Holman, by. the way, is developing the tremulo stop
in hisivoice till he is getting most as good as Walter Pierce,
r However he can't prime the lachrymal .pumps, as easily as
Walter. And he hasn't torn a tax receipt in. two either.
I Sen. Steiwer has put in a busy summer. He has been
1 campaigning 100 for 1932. And he seems to, be growing
stronger too. He has mass and solidity about .-him -but he
! is as approachable as an old shoe, knows everybody, and has
done a inost industrious job of fence-building during this long
open season between sessions.
Roseburg is going right ahead to, buy the land and turn
over the 400 , acres to the government. The tract lies just
west of Roseburg, and is just across the narrow South Ump
qua from the present state soldiers home "which is to be
turned over -to the government, and will be part of the insti
tution. The state home, it should be said, is very attractive ;
and the veterans would seem to be splendidly cared f on The
: home is a lovely j spot, with spacious lawns; and gorgeous
. flowers. ; As it turns over the property to the federal govern
ment the state may do so with the satisfaction (hat for nearly
forty years it has provided well for the military veterans in
its charge. j -: kr---0f ! .?rUr;. ;: v.:
The new institution1 will be a big thing for Roseburg,
lifting it into distinction among the cities of the northwest.
- ' The material advantages of he expenditures of money there
will be great, and will be continuing; aside from that the. city
will assume importance regionally and nationally, lifting r it
above the lot of ordinary county seat trading points. When
the city celebrates the dedication of the home it will probably
have abigger celebration, but it will not have the spontaneity
; ' and the joyful abandon of the affair of last Saturday.

He propounds the "greatest financial system in the world,

"During the four years that I
served as secretary of state of
Oregon, along with Governor
Lord, hi wife was an. enthusias
tic advocate of making the grow
lag of Max in Oregon an import
ant industry.1 She was the pioneer
ox flax growing in Oregon and
never lost an opportunity to talk
about and explain her hobby. If
Oregon ever becomes a flax
growing state,, as it probably
wiu, sne wui be entitled to most
of the credit. The governor was
so much occupied with 'politics
and the cares of state that he
did not have the time nor pa
tience to gove much attention to
the flax industry at that time.
however important it might be
come in the distant future. Like
Huntington, ; who said posterity
might build their own railroads,
the governor perhaps " thought
that posterity might Taise their
own flax or do without flax.
V '
. "The governor was hard of
hearing and did not hear all or
much of his ! wife's eloquent ap
peals for flax in his presence,
but he heard enough to know
that flax came in somewhere. On
one occasion,! when the secretary
of state and the attorney general
were attending a. dinner party
with others at the governor's
house, Mrs. Lord was explaining
to the guests the great advant
ages that flax growing Woud be
to Oregon. The governor did not
hear what she was saying but
became suspicious that she had
started on her hobby. He , leaned
over at the table and asked the
attorney general in a low voice:
'Is Julia talking about that
damn flax' "

The balance of the "Reminis
cenaes" of Harrson R. Kincaid,
from which the excerpts covering
the past six issues and thU one
have been taken was devoted to
an account of the defeat of Sen
ator J.' N. Dolph, , in his candi
dacy for reelection to the United
States senate by the legislature
of 1895- and the election of Geo,
W. McBride, who had served as
secretary of stae for eight
years, and to discussion of the
free silver question!
Kincaid was strong for freo
silver. Here are some character
istic, words of his statement:
"Gold and silver are the only
metals suitable for money, and.
without silver, there is r not
enough gold in the world to pay
ten cents on .e dollar of the
debts and carry on the business.
Under this gold standard svstera
all debts and all business is made
payable in 'gold, coin', a physical
impossibility." 1
". 1
His stand-pat attitude on the
free silver -question cost Kincaid
renomination and reelection as
secretary of-state. It also deprived
him' of a place on the roster of
the board of regents of the Uni
versity of Oregon, for which he
h-d been named by his friend,1
Governor ' Lord. Kincaid Claimed
that he had net left the republi
can party, but that the republican
party had left him, by abandoning
free, silver, which It had thereto
fore .favored in its platforms. In
fact,, both parties had favored
free silver in their platforms,
flatly, or had straddled the issue,
for a long time up te 1S95.
. V S - - . .....
Mr. Kincaid was sincere ia his
belief that the adoption of the
single gold standard was a great
mistake. He said: "Gold and sil
ver had heen the standard of val
ues at-about 16 to 1 throughout
the . world for , 2000 years,' until
England adopted the single gold
standard in 181 tr This was done
because England had billions of
dollars Invested in bonds. and oth
er securities in the' United States
and other debtor nations.- Ger
many and other creditor nations
followed England. These credit
or nations used their-great finan
cial power, to force It upon the

the money of , the world, doubled

"Oh; we'r going to bring" It off

I wanted i to ask you about those

come into your hands, I suppose
you'll - dispose of some of them
at any rate? I have a reason, for
asking," he added quickly.
"Oh. but what else could I do?
Beggar's ! can't be choosers; you
know!" with . a little smile. -I t
could not afford hot, to part with
some of them at . least. Besides
they are linked how with such
tragic memories I am not sure I
should wish to keep them even if
I could. ! . ! .

"there's a business proposal I
want to make on behalf of MIMy
Grayson, Bill and -myself. (He's a

"Well, it's like 'this: Wei our
syndicate of three, want to make
a modest bet stake two-fifty on
the chance of those Jewels turn

you take the bet, "and make us a
sporting offer. ' of Bay, odds at
three to one, he went on tightly:
"That means ;thati If your! jewels
are recovered, we win a share of
'em to the value of three times
our stake. If they ire not found
well, we're lost f our two-fifty.
Just a simple ordinary little gam

are as keen on it as I." : i
