Fitting the Times THE New York Sun has reprinted an interview which the journalist Mr. Henry L. Stoddard had with Calvin Coolidge December 14th last. The former president unbur dened himself so far as his own participation in public life in the future was concerned. There was no indication that he had any premonition of his early death, which occurred only a few weeks after the interview. The substance of that interview is significant as the observation of a shrewd man on the trends of the times. It was in brief: "I do not fit in with these times". Quoting a pertinent paragraph : "I have been out of touch so long with political activities that I feel I no longer fit in with these times. Great changes can come in four years. These socialistic notions of government are not of my day. When I was in office tax reduction, debt re duction, tariff stability and economy were the things to which I gave attention. We succeeded on those lines. It has always seemed to me that common sense is the real solvent for the na tion's problems at all times common sense and hard work. When I read of the new-fangled things that are now so popular I realize that my time in public affairs is past. I wouldn't know how to handle them If I were called upon to do so. That is why I am through with public life forever." Well, there are some thousands of men who feel they are out-dated, that they do not fit m with these times. Mr. Coolidge's own party which returned to power in 1921 on a platform to "get the government out of business" is now the principal creditor of banks, railroads, ship lines, and farm ers. For some years it was the chief speculator in wheat and cotton. Zealous advocates would push it into the manu facture and retail of electric energy on a vast scale. States have likewise been wandering in the dense for ests instead of following old and beaten trails. New tax de vices are urged. Sympathy for misfortune finds expression in legislation for moratoriums and debtor relief. Relief plans on a tremendous scale are pressed upon already depleted treasuries. The public ownership infection has spread to where it threatens fresh mortgages on people already debt ridden. Coolidge, with his New England notions of strict com pliance with the terms of contracts, with his personal fru gality and simple tastes, would find himself out of tune with the times. Likewise do many others who have been trained in the school of individualism heralded by Horatio Alger with "Sink or Swim Survive or Perish". The country is not blazing new trails. It is merely lost in the woods. Discordant counsels give diverse directions. Some I " . - x : I M t Aft l " -i-'-r . TIT" ' .sh STK0TOI3 BITS for BREAKFAST -By R. J.

The day calls not for echoes of the Coolidge era, but for intelligent compre hension of the problems of the present and courageous action to meet them. In this situation the light of history is lum inous. Many of the proposals that have been made are dan Serous and unsound, proven so by past experience. On the other hand those of the present must be prompt to seize new tools if they promise to give leverage.

His successors Tin Coolidge planned for himself. In the Stoddard Interview : Coolidge said: "We are in a new era to which I do not belong, and it would not be possible for me to adjust myself to it." Perhaps. But "new eras" have a habit of blowing up. It is the same old world; and the people are the same bundle . of energies, interests, and capacities. Before we know it this , present era of "leaning on the supposedly everlasting arm of the government may change. The arm may get tired. birth), he began writing for the Eugene Register. That was In 18(2, and in September of that year the Register was suppressed by the government, through de nial of use of the malls. Only two months later, la November, 1862, the Eugene Re view came Into existence, with Mr. Miller as editor. He had giv en assurance that he would be nonpartisan, but the strain was too great upon his fiery nature, and In January, 1863, he hoisted the democratic flag'; and a few kept the Review going antll Sep tember, 1861. "Meantime, la the vary month the Register was suppressed. young Miller took upto himself a wife, in the person of Minnie Myrtle Dyer, herself a poet, and a enlld was born to them In Jan uary, 1864. Mrs. Miller at that time had gone te her people la Curry county, presumably to escape the tumult In Eugene and wait for her husband to re-establish himself. "This he determined to de by crossing with hia family to the mining country beyond the Cas cades. So. when the baby was only eight weeks old, Mrs. Millar put the child In a basket, slung the basket from her saddle, and rode up Into the Willamette val ley. There she met her husband and the Hilburns, and the two families crossed the Cascades by McKensie pass and descended on the other side to the then pros perous mining town of Canyon City. A two-horse chaise was pro vided for Mrs. Miller and the baby on the strenuous part of the Journey. Mr. Miller drove cattle, and took with him a supply of fruit trees and flowers, purchased with the proceeds of his newspa per venture. "in canyon city they were more fortunate. Despite hia youth. Mr. Miller was elected county Judge, and the cabin la which they lived still stands as a mecca to travelers.

Portland Police Protection mHE state of Oregon owes a debt to the vigilance of the X Portland police, and the competence of that department is in large measure due to the character and ability of Chief L. V. Jenkins who was a Salem, visitor yesterday. For four teen years he has headed that department, giving it a con- tinuous administration which is highly desirable where such administration 4s clean and competent. Chief Jenkins is highly respected personally, is known to be a man of strict I personal integrity who has sought to carry out the hard . tasks of his office in the best manner possible. Chief Jenkins is retiring next July 1st with the change 1 in the mayoralty there. But he is not going back to a mere captaincy. He is to be retained as assistant commissioner of public safety where his knowledge and talents will still be tised for the protection of Portland. His successor will be Col. B. K. Lawson, former superintendent of the state prison. rHe is very favorably regarded by the people of Oregon, and this regard was heightened locally by his effective talk at the chamber of commerce Monday. Some may think the remainder of the state has no in- terest in the Portland police department It has. For the . criminal element naturally drifts to the large city and works out from there; Were Portland's police department headed by a grafter or a cheap politician and the force filled ud with men blind to law offenses the state would soon be overrun ; with the criminal element As it is now, and promises to be under. Lawson's administration, the Portland police will not be a political bureau but a real law enf orcinir body.

They did! years; what do you mean by inflict- fused him, n wise-cracker advis ing him to stick to poetry. Where upon he replied that he had sought the appointment In order to bo able to stick to poetry. "Meantime he bad been pound' ing at the doors of American pub lishers without success, and his failures around in him what his friends considered to bo a crack brained scheme. He appeared one day at the home of 3. A. Clarke, editor of the Oregon Statesman, In Salem, with the announcement that he was going to England to seek recognition. Mr. Clarke, In later reminiscences, stated that he never felt so sorry for anyone in hia Ufa as he did for Joaquin that day. Joaquin set out snd, to the smasement of his old friends, ho sueoeeded beyond his own wildest dreams. England apparently had been waiting for some American with long hair and red shirt to make a fuss over. And such a person came at last la the per son of an authentic poet." "a The above is all true, except ing the possible Inference that Joaquin's newspaper experience was confined to his Eugene paper that was suppressed, and the one that auffered a like fate because of his writings. s "a He later had a brilliant career as correspondent for the leading California newspapers. It is re membered by many Salem resi dents that ho was here on his way to participate in the Alaska gold rush, and on his return by that time a picturesque character, known all over the cirtllzed world. S Ho went to Alaska as a news paper correspondent, and was paid fabulous prices tor his articles, as Harr Wagner, hia publisher and greatest helper and friend, has told. (And spent his pay be fore it was earned, which was not unusual tor Miller.) Joaquin want to the Orient and spent a long time there, as a newspaper correspondent, at a lat er period. Ia connection there with were some eecapadee mak ing ap part of his rectle career with wires, near-wiree and con cubines. Joaquin satisfied the compunctions of his conscience over these pornographic experi ences ia the manner of license to rulers expressed In the excusing words: "The king can do no wrong." Joaquin was a poet, ant had the poet's license to do as ha pleased. a. "a And ha was a great poet, for all hia faults and foibles.

And done it was, ta the black Georgian grate of the Prospect House drawing-room. Mrs. Sophis herself removed the pile cf whits paper sharing, and the big- yellow fan that served as a screen. Wolfe't statistics disappeared in smoke, and the map remained as so much but tering ash. e e i e John Wolfe had had a long- morn ing-, and had dropped In to eat e lonely meal in the Turkey-carpeted dining-room. He had a country round that afternoon. There was the freshness of fall ings dew in the air when Wolfs rode back beside the windings of the Wraith, and saw on the distant hill. side the dark shapes of the Moot Farm cypresses. He had seen Jess but once since that hour la the orchard, and she had been a little shy of him, yet with a frank shy. ness that was vary aQuting-. She had smiled less, looked at him less intently, and spoken as though words had come to hare a new and deeper meaning;. There had been just a flash of pride for him la her eyes, something- dearer than sympathy. Wolfe had found her a name by which ho could name her to him- self. "The Maid of Honor," that was what he called Jess. He looked at her and thought of her as a man of the spear and sword thought of the one woman who was hia "Lady." She spread courage and cleanness and strength about hlnONe mean thing; could come out of his heart or mouth. "To the uttermost; and without fear," that had been her message. As John Wolfe rode throurh Narestock ho could not help beinx track by the qusintness and beauty of the old town. The calm of a sum mer evening- lay over it, and the threads cf blue smoke from the chimneys disappeared ia a golden Wilks atrolled la and treated Threadgold to a quarter of i hours thin cynicism. Wllka was a little, add man, who had a knack of setting; people's teeth on edge. "I hate and loathe the rery sound of hia name." "Then do what I tell yon; get rid of him at once." "Exactly quite so. And as "Mr dear Threadgold. I thourhtt those papers cf hi I should like to ask yea whether I "What!

TH see that most pushing? and enthuslastislit is done." haze. The red brick became a deep, er, richer red. Casements caught the sunset. Troaa and chimneys stood out against the western sky. Hare and there, down passageways and narrow streets, Wolfe caught a glimpse of the river, black under the shadows of black roofs and gables. For an Instant the little town was transfigured like an un clean and crippled beggar carried suddenly into Paradise. CTo Be C fiaauQ Caerrisat.
