The Holmes Baccalaureate
THE brilliant editor of the Corvallis Gazette-Times is color
blind these days; for all he sees is red. Dr. John Haynes
Holmes, New York preacher, gave the baccalaureate at the
state college, whereupon Editor Ingalls plastered him over
with the red flag. He listed him as editor of some
radical publications and an officer of the American Civ
il Liberties union. To further identify him he quoted
from the Hamilton Fish red baiting expedition report; and
the even more notorious Lusk committee of New York state.
The Albany Democrat-Herald joined in the anvil chorus
-against Dr. Holmes and expressed the opinion that these
speakers were tearing down the foundations on which our
educational institutions rest because they are supported by
property taxes.
Holmes is not orthodox in religion, in politics-, economics
or anything else, so far as we know. He may even be a
socialist; so many grey-haired bankers have joined long
haired professors in wondering if socialism wasn't a cure for
the disease, that that term is not quite such an epithet as it
once was.
But from what we know of Holme3 and what we read
of his speech at Corvallis we are glad he gave the baccalaur
eate sermon out here. His challenge was to the open mind,
and his text was "Speak to the children of Israel that they
go forward." While there may be difference of opinion as
to which way is forward, that is a ood text ; and the preach
er developed it well. These are times that call for rattling
of dry bones, for the testing of old standards and shibboleths.
Men are needed who will throw out the challenge to the gen
eration graduating for college to reexamine the basis of our
social and political and economic order. If it cannot justify
itself then changes certainly will be coming. We write as
one who has no confidence in state socialism on the Marxian
plan; but no fear for having it discussed and examined,
and even experimented with in Russia.
The world is recurrently in need of men of the type of
Holmes who will throw bombs in camps of religious ortho
doxy and political standpattism. The noise and the smell
may be unpleasant, but institutions have a constant tendency
to petrify. Agitators like Holmes and Bob LaFollette, sr.,
may accomplish a great deal of good in destroyipg dry rot
and social decay.
Holmes is a torch, not a lambent flame to throw a few
feeble rays amid prevailing darkness; but a blow torch, hot
enough to melt the armored steel of rigid institutionalism.
Voltaire was one; "and Tom Paine. Holmes may be weak
on all the fundamentals of virgin birth and protective tariff,
but he is a prophet of higher standards in ethics; and the
world seems to be in more need of ethical instruction just
now than of the Westminster
. Standard Oil Goes Into Banking
ARE we to have business develop on "horizontal" lines on
this coast? For years there has been the vertical inte
gration of business such as
which controls each step from
duct and even to the marketing of that product. It is not
usual however for a big industry to leave its own field and
get over into other territory.
nize that skill in one line of endeavor does not carry over in
to unrelated fields.
The question comes up in
of the Standard Oil company
game. Pres. K; R. Kingsbury of the oil company has re
cently announced that his company is taking a substantial
interest in the Anglo-California National bank, the Fleisch
acker institution of San Francisco. Kingsbury stated that
his oil company had decided to take advantage of the oppor
tunity to go along with the bank in its' growth. Reports
are that the Anglo bank intends, to establish about fifteen
branches' in California.
The Standard of California is one in which the Rocke
fcSers still have very large stock holdings. They are now
the principal owners of the Chase National in New York.
Whether the new deal on the coast is of significance nation
ally remains to be seen. The oil company through its natur
al gas business got over into the utility field as owners of the
Pacific Public Service company, which handles quite a group
of utility properties in California and Oregon.
San Francisco is the financial capital of the Pacific
coast, so any development such as the entrance of the Stand
ard Oil company into the banking picture is one that will be
felt over this territory. With any closer alignment of finan
cial interests the combination, it is easily conceivable, might
develop into something dangerous to general welfare. The
power is there ; it remains to be seen how it is employed.
Come on, Washington keyholers, and tell us how come on the
Russell Hawkins deal. Not his shift from the R.F.C. board to the
home loan bank; board; but the fact that he rated at all. Hawkins
Is known chiefly as a chore boy in politics in this state with head
quarters at Portland hotels. He isn't quite the Milt Miller of Ore
gon republicans for he pays for his lunches. He talks the gibberish
of big business;-! and has run errands for Sen. McNary. He is not
with experience in business:
rating for an appointment on the R.F.C. board. In Oregon he
wouldn't rate for much above a public service commissioner in the
old days. Apparently the appointment is just another case of pulling
the right wires.
Editor Alden ot the Woodbnrn Independent has cast hia eye
over the scene and concludes: "It remains certain that the Indian
school has beeni ot very little benefit to the red race as a whole."
Rather a broad statement. It seems to us. The .ndlans themselves,
With a very few exceptions, disagree with, each an assertion; and
regard schools like Chemawa as ot very great benefit to their race.
Portland ranks third among the gold hoarding cities of the
country, with 167 names said to be on the list. This will not be
news out here; ; because that has been Portland'! reputation for a
long time. And we bet the skin of a last year's rattlesnake the gov
ernment doesn't get the gold out of them.
Hitler must have groaned when he heard the Tesult ot the
prize fight in New York. The California Jew, Max Baer, licked the
stuffing out of the German Schmeling. Maybe Baer was putting a
lot of the rage of the American Jews in the end of his gfist. -Anyway
Hitler may call for another program now.
Now couples have a chance to think It over after deciding to

(Continuing from yesterday:)
Mr. Martin's letter was occasioned
by an article in this column in the
issue of May 23, and another in
that ot May 21.
The first contained a statement
that, in a frame under the oil
painting of Dr. John McLoughlin,
hanging on the wall back of the
president's seat in the Oregon sen
ate chamber, in printed letters,
appear these words:
"Dr. John McLoughlin, honored
pioneer and earliest settler of the
territory of Oregon, 1823 to 1843.
Director of the Hudson's Bay
company, and by courtesy called
governor of Oregon prior to
1843." In that article a state

that is glaring, and a SI prize was

.Of course X do
Dr. Copeland
not wish te give
the impression that high blood pres
sure Is a wholly normal symptom.
But I do wish to convey to my read
ers the thought that within certain
limits, high blood pressure Is in no
sense a menace to life. Z refer par
ticularly to blood pressure that has
gradtudly increased ever a period of
years.
In most instances the rise ot blood
pressure is the result ot natural
changes within the body. These are
called "compensatory' changes and
are really necessary in order that
the body may continue to function
as tt should. For example, aa we
grow older .certain changes take
place within the heart and blood ves
sels. The vessels lose their normal
elasticity. This leads to an Increase
In the blood pressure.
Factors te Be Considered
When high blood pressure occurs
suddenly, or is observed la fairly
young lndividauls, it Is a matter of
more consequence. Fortunately, such
cases are not common.
Increased pressure may be the re
sult of some infection within the
body. The teeth. toasDs, nasal sin

diseased. It may follow some con

form the forerunner of the Ore
gon Blue Book. Mr. Martin de
serves the thank of all Oregon.
But there are several mistakes
in the printed legend under the
picture of Dr. McLoughlin, told at
length in this column on May 21,
and one in addition. Take them
briefly:
Dr. John McLoughlin was an
"honored pioneer."
He was not "the earliest set
tler." The earliest settler was not "ot
the territory of Oregon."
Dr. McLoughlin was not here
from "1823 to 1843."
He was, it is assumed, a "direc
tor of the Hudson's Bay com
pany," but he exercised the func
tions of "governor" more by right
of being chief factor at Fort Van
couver, thus in his absence per
forming the functions of governor
of that company which company
operated under the laws of the
British parliament. It therefore
had a legal right to the functions,
performed through ite officers.
Dr. McLoughlin was "by cour
tesy called governor of Oregon,
but this was not limited In time
specifically ending in 1843; and
it did not begin In 1823. He had
little right to the "courtesy," so
far as Americans were concerned,
at all; less after the coming of
Jason Lee In 18S4; still less after
1833, when Lee appointed David
Leslie Justice of the peace, on the
mal blood pressure. Age, sex, mode
ot living and occupation, firmer dis
eases and Individual makeup all
these are factors. Thin persons are
more prone to have low pressure,
while stout individuals usually have
high blood pressure. Bear in mind
that high blood pressure and low
blood pressure are sot diseases in
themselves. They axe signs of
changes within the body.
Exceptions te the Rale
There is an old rule that la the
average person, the blood pressure
can be computed by adding one hun
dred to the age. Thus, if an Individ
ual is thirty, his blood pressure t'
usually around one hundred and
thirty. But, aa with an other rule,
there are many exceptions.
For example, one may be told hi
blood pressure la one hundred and
forty; he learns by reading or by
talking with a friend, that his blood
pressure should not be more than
one hundred and 1111117. This dis
turbs him.
Such slight fluctuation la the
blood pressure are unimportant, hav
ing little if any significance. Do sot
be confused by what laymen tell you
about your blood pressure. If you
are in good health, do not suffer from
headaches, dlzay spells or nose bleeds,
and your pressure is within the nor
mal limits, there la ne need for
worry. Keep la mind that fear, anx
iety, worry aad emotional disturb
ances tend to increase the blood pres
sure. Calmness of mind Is a bless

provisional government February
18, 1841; a government with of
ficera who administered the desig
nated laws, settled the Ewlng
Young and Cornelius Rogers c
tates and performed many other
acts in due form ot law.
Dr. McLoughlin did not found
the town of Vancouver, Wash. His
company founded old Fort Tan
couver. Dr. McLoughlin did
found the town of Oregon City as
an individual; though some early
settlers contended that he did it
for his company.
Dr. McLoughlin was not "the
first white man to attempt to con
vert the wilderness into a habita
tion for the white man." On the
contrary, observing the wishes
and Interests of his company, he
resisted this effort, in the early
stages. Witness the experiences
of John Jacob Astor, Nathaniel J.
Wyeth, Captlan Bonneville and
numerous others.
It Is not true that "he first
briught wheat, oats, barley, corn.
potatoes and tame grass seeds to
Oregon." The Astor parties
brought all these, in 1811-12.
They had gardens and live stock
at Fort Astoria; so did the North
west company before Dr. Mc
Loughlin came. So did the Win-
ships, in 1810, before the Astor.
And at least one other party, be
fore the Wlnshlps.
He was not the "first Importer
of cattle and domsetic animals."
The Astors and Northwesters, at
least, were before him in this re
spect. He was not "in truth the earli
est 'settler'." He was no settler
at all, until taking up his resi
dence as an Individual at Oregon
City in 1846 that is no "settler"
as the term was understood in the
early days as differentiated
from trappers and traders, some
of whom became BetUers after
they gave up their earlier voca
tions, or avocations, if the reader
may prefer the term.
May 21, the day of the second
publication mentioned above. Dr.
Mary C. Rowland. 407 Court
street, Salem, wrote: "Dear Bits
for Breakfast: I could forgive the
printing under the McLoughlin
portrait if they had said he came
to Oregon In 1824 Instead of
1823."
Tha writer has seen Dr. Row
land since. She got her informa
tion from writings of Frank Er
matlnger, who came in 1824, and
who was tha third treasurer of
Oregon, under the provisional
government. Ermatinger was one
of Dr. McLoughlin' chief lieuten
ants; an appointee of his.
Bancroft (page 2 of first vol
ume) says Dr. McLoughlin waa
transferred from Fort Francis, on
Lake of the Woods, "in 18 24. to
the Columbia river."
Frederick V. Holman, in his
book oa Dr. McLoughlin, Bays he
came in 1824. Meany's Washing
ton history says 1824.
Finally, Eva Emery Dye, auth
or of "McLoughlin and Old Ore
gon," tha most popular and best
selling ot all such books, who per
haps knows more of McLoughlin's 1
history than any living person,'
waa furnished a copy of the May'
21 article and asked when the
doctor came. She writes:
"Oh, Dr. McLoughlin came in
1824. Your Bits for Breakfast
are always interesting and valu
able to Old Oregon."
That surely settles that.
Just because a statement of a
historical event has been put into

"You've got the gift you're get

staring incredulously at first, as if
she had seen a ghost. Then, with
a sharp jerk at her sister's arm and
a mumbled, "I don't like it after all,"

Joan's high hopes in her stubby
hands.
AH afternoon Joan tried to think.
Hilda would ro straight home and
tell her mother, and Mrs. Sedgwick
would call on Aunt Ewie right

callers except on the second Thurs

right there, her head ached so.
There wouldn't be any future now.
Aunt Ewie would do something . . .
something to spoil it . . . shame her
. . . aomething. . . .
Throb. Throb. Throb. She wanted
to snatch one of the filmy gowns she
was hanging on the rack and tie it,
ever so tight about her head, to stop
the pain. Throb. Throb. She began
hanging the dresses in time to the
throbbing pain. It gave her a
mournful satisfaction. She was al
most glad it hurt so much.
"Madame Francine tells me such
Interesting things of you I She says
you are studying design."
It was Mrs. Curtis Bars tow, "the
nicest customer" Joan always called
her. She tried to smile through the
pain, because it was so nice of Mrs.
Bars tow to still think she was going
to be a designer. But, of course, she
didnt know that Aunt Ewie would
put a stop to it that it was all
over
"Pve got such a headache I" she
heard herself saving.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. Corns have
some hot tea with me. I was just'
going ia search of some. Madame

Mrs. Barstow, all mink fur and
violet scented motherliness, fairly
pushed Joan into her waiting limou
sine. "I believe well go home," she
said. "If s so much more restful.
And I can give you something for
your poor head."
It was good to feel cool hands on
her hot forehead. Mrs. Barstow was
so nice. Joan had always admired
her tremendous ry( her perfectly
dressed white hair, her delicate.
Dresden-china charm. They had
often talked together for hours in
the shop, about books and wild flow
ers and styles. She wasnt only a
customer, she was a friend.
Her house waa nice too. Big and
airy and old-fashioned, like the old
place across the bay. There was
even a garden, with a hedge. And a

she used to help Heeley clean at

The headache powder had dulled
the ache, and the hot tea had
warmed Joan's heart. She felt bet
ter and wanted to prolong the pleas
ant dullness. When she went home
fhe would have to think. Here she
could just listen, while Mrs. Bar
stow talked.
She showed Joan pictures. Pic
tures of a solemn-eyed baby in a
long, long christening dress. "My
son. Curtis, at seven weeks." A
rather fat little boy with curia and
kilts. That was Curtis when he waa
four. And there was Curtis in short
pants, and Curtis in long pants,
and finally a Curtis in csp and
gown, "when he was gradated from
college."
Joan murmured polite comments
with her lips. Her mind had begun
to race agaia ... Hilda ... Aant
Ewie ... Francine ...

She was drinking coffee out of a

Barstow, still rambling on in her
sweet, colorless voice, said her son

opened end Curtis himself Joan
knew it was he even before his
mother presented him, came in.
"I didnt expect you tonight I"
Mrs. Barstow half rose from her
chair, and glanced at Joan.
He glanced at Joan too. and the
color rose ever so alightly in his
olive cheek. His light brown eves
seemed to darken, he pushed hit
smooth hair back with a nervous,
boyish gesture.
He didnt look like Bill, not a bit,
but something in the way ha looked
at her made Joaa think of Bill.
Made her think of that first day
when she stood in the window, and
he looked up at her from the rose
garden in the sun . . . her eyes
blurred. She looked down at her
plate.
"Miss Hastings has been keeping
me company. I'm such a selfish eld
woman to let her, for the poor child
has a headache." Mrs. Barstow
was murmuring tactful things, all
about Joan'a headache, and how the
time crept round so fast. "I'm go

so that you'll have a good night's

He touched her cheek affection
ately. "I'm ail right. Mother. Dont
