'Challenge to Business READERS of The Outlook in its golden age when Lyman Abbott w.as editor and Theodore Roosevelt contributing editor will remember the occasional contributions of Fred erick M. Davenport, state senator in New York. His articles were on subjects of government, which then was as fertile a toDic for editorial effort as economics is at present; and they were marked by directness and clarity and conviction. Dav enport was unsuccessful candidate for governor of New York - on the Bull Moose ticket, became a professor of political science in Hamilton college, later was elected to congress where he served for many terms. He has been a visitor to Oregon this week, speaking before the Pacific Advertising Clubs association in Portland Wednesday and at the confer ence on higher education in Eugene last night. We journeyed to Portland to hear his address on "A Challenge to American Business". The address was one of the sanest, most thought-provoking we have heard or read in a long time. It deserved publication in full in the papers of the state. The Portland. Journal did do a good job of reporting but the headline writer spoiled it by the distorted heading: "Old Economic System Dead". Quite the contrary, Davenport did not condemn f the economic system; instead he defended it, at the same ' time calling American business men to iresh leadership in adjusting trie tempo of business to conservation of human . values. Dr. Davenport furnished us with a copy of his speech ' and said it will be published later by the United States cham ber of commerce, here we will print pertinent extracts which carry along his line of thought. The first thought which Davenport drove home was that the old order made contribution to American life, aad that it was neitner conceived nor developed as "an engine of oppression". "If we consider the years between I860 and 1920 in Amer ica, was there ever a period in the history of the world when the common man advanced so i&atana so iar; n m uwouiai us w dell the fame ol' the- fighting edge ot the older American liberal ism which between I860 and l2tt entered into conflict with materialism and greed and every foe, domestic and foreign, and steadily advanced the common weaL There ad aociai-mindedness " ia America and. social growth under the old economic order, an tedating this generation. "Although I draw back not one inch in criticism ot certain, economic as well as human phases of the old order, nothing in to be gained by the stirring of dangerous prejudice and ill wiU. We should never have been the country we were in 1S20 if, in the earlier and simpler capitalistic period as well as in the later stage ot corporate capitalism, there had not been in America it large number of men in business and government who were as genuinely devoted to the common welfare as any who now live." This is a deserved tribute to the achievements of the old order under which the common man was not "f orgot- ten" but did share more of the comforts of life, more of blessings of liberty than under any other economic system or political form. Dr. Davenport also scoffed at the imputa tions that the collapse was due to the sins of a few great industrialists : "I do not trust that theory of explanation which imputes to American business leaders generally widespread misuse of power aad lack of social conscience. That theory is too simple and there are too many examples to the contrary. I do think that in the mad rasa ot the last generation for great corporate and financial developments, big profits, big site, American business men have ever had time to give proper attention to the social consequen ces of what they were doing. It seems to me that business be came the victim of what might be called the 'quota complex'." While recognizing the achievements of the old order, Davenport minced no words in challenging business leaders to the spirit of today : "The American people are now bent upon attempting to turn the resources of economic organization and energy and business leadership Into the production on a wide scale, of life, liberty and happiness. They are done with putting profits and Quotas tint. .... New laws and remedies, codes and programs ' aad governmental disciplines have their place, but they are rel atively ineffective unless they are energised by a right economic -philosophy and a right human attitude on the part of the people and their counselors. . . . Whether our present economic miseries turn out to be a vantage point in the evolution of human society, depends upon the American busineas leader. Upon his attitude depends whether industry will accept with sufficient promptness the new human and economic creed which in our time is being ' written in the heart and consciences of men: namely, that capital must receive less and laborers and consumers more; that bonuses have an. unparalleled value in good will only when they are shared by executives with workers; that unemployment reserves and sickness and old age benefits must be universal." Scorning the new philosophy which discounts old vir tues, the speaker said: "Regardless of the historic fact that civilization and democ racy never started until there began to be a social surplus; re gardless of the fact that capital goods will contlnae to wear out ad somebody or something will have to save in order to replace them; regardless of the fact that thrift was the first aid in build ing the character of early America, there are many who have begun to look at least upon individual sarins as anti-social. . . . .Certainly the happiness and safety of the country will be ad raaced when men become once more disinclined to take advan tage of easy bankruptcy, begin again to pay their bills and be ' proud of it. and look upon .strangling indebtedness for what it is, a mill-stone about the neck of citizen or nation." Davenport, a protectionist on principle, denounced "em bargoistic nationalism," and remarked that his experience . on the ways and means committee which framed the present tariff convinced him "that there is at the base of our indus . trial structure a sub-margin of protected inefficiency and incompetence, whiclr the country could do without to its own advantage and the advantage of foreign trade." 1 At Eugene Dr. Davenport talked on "The Importance of the Educated Politician in the New Order". We did? not hear it, but can get the gist of his ideas in the dosing por tion of Ms Portland speech when he said: "lt Is an. fnrfrmitaniMe- challenge to business and political leadership; sot oaly to chambers ef commerce, but to colleges ' gad universities and all agencies of public education.

Gov. Moody appoint ed H. H. Hendricks superinten dent ot schools of Gilliam county, not Wheeler. The latter county was taken off the south end of Gilliam at a later date. All coun ties east of the Cascades in Ore gon, Washington and Nevada were in the beginning part of Wasco County, Oregon. "H. H. Hendricks was one of my teachers in the Roseburg pub lic schools. So wag Attorney F. C. Brodle, formerly in the law busi ness here with E. C. Ward. When Mr. Brodie was my teacher, he had- whiskers which were very dark. After leaving Roseburg I did not see Mr. Brodle again un til about 35 years. He was then a court stenographer in Portland. As he no longer wore a beard, ho was a -very different man in ap pearance than my school teacher of former days. "Before concluding my remarks concerning Roseburg, I desire to say, in my opinion, Roseburg has the most uniform and moderate climate of any town in the nortn west. Only once during our resi dence there was ice thick enough for skating, and then only for a short time. About the only snow seen was that on the tops of freight cars coming in from the north. We had bob-sleds, bat used them to coast down the steep hill sides. Portland is called the 'CU7 of Roses,' but no where are there more beautiful roses grown than in Roseburg. V S "The first experience I had sur veying was the year before we moved away from Roseburg. The Southern Pacific Railway com pany had my father connect the raUway survey with some of the government corners. "My brother Fred (who is now a physician and surgeon and resi dent of San Diego, Calif.,) and 1 were the ehainmen. We used a two -rod chain of SO Iks. and eleven pins, one ot which was al ways la the ground. When the head ehainman had advanced two rods, the hind ehainman would say 'stick,', holding his end over the pin in the ground; the head ehainman would then say 'stuck' and stick his pin In the grounu. The hind ehainman would then pull up his pin, and the two would then advance, with the 'stick stack' program repeated as before. When all 10 pins had passed from the head ehainman to the hind ehainman, thai was a 'tally.' There were 18 tallies, or 80 chs. to the mile, each tally being five chs. long. "The summer before we, left Roseburg we attended the state fair at Salem and camped at the fair grounds. To me it was some thing wonderful, especially the fireworks display at the race track on the night of the Fourth. After the fair was over we went to Port land, stopping at the Esmond and St. Charles hotels on the corner of Front and Morrison streets. It was something great to take a ride In those horse-drawn street cars. There was very high water in the Colombia that year, and when we visited the Oregonlan office, then on the southeast corner ot Stark and Front 'streets, we had to go on a temporary walk built above the water. We also went to Ht. Tabor to visit Mr. and Mrs. Hen- cess. Mrs. Harness was a cousin of my father, her former hasbnnd beisg Mr. Ross for whom, Koss Island was named. "There weren't very many homes in East Portland in days. About all I can remeather were bridges and water and the state asylum, which was them lo cated in East Portland. The ens was made ia a cab. which ts me was a new experience. These ars of a past generation and are seen no more. "In 1882 my father, W. H. By- ars, was elected state printer ot Oregon. He attended the session of ths legislature that winter and we moved to Salem in February. 1883. "At that tints Salens was not the dty it is today. It had no pared streets or sewers and cows w e r permitted to run in the streets. So my father decided to take our two cows to Salens and a box car was secured from the railroad company as a means of transportation. My father. Broth er Fred and I went with the cows in the) box car. At Junction City ths train stopped for the night 1 and wo slept at the hotel. About noon the next day we arrived at Salem, Ws had oar tint ssesl at ; the Chemeketa hotel on the south east corner of Commercial aad Ferry streets. This hotel is sow called The Marion.' Across the 1 street to the west was the post office. As my brother and I stood : on the hotel corner viewing the sights, we thought Salem was some burg and the hotel efml to any in the northwest. S "Right here I will teU yos some unwritten Oregon history. Gen. W. H. Odea preceded my father as state printer. He had been elected two years before on account ef the death ef the preceding state print er, as ft was supposed, to com plete the unfinished terms of the decedent. Mr. Odell told my fath er, av he understood the law, he had two years longer. Bather than go into court, they agreed fes leave the matter with Judge Lord and abide by his decision.. Ths Judge was of the opinion that Go. Odeil ewold serve two more years. Rtner than have the office expire at a different time than the term of the regular state offices, they decided; to go into a partnership.

Two wounds ars found oa the oooy ; one appsxeatljr from at sharp weapon and the other, from doll, roity inatrmnent. Dr. John Calvert ana Mark HiUyer. pXayright pa tJant, agree the woonds could have been caused by a pair of scissors. Felipe, the maid, discovered the body when she went into Vails room to torn off the phonogTaph. VaU. a former opera stager, broken-hearted over the death of his wife, had a habit ot repeateuy playing the record "Waiting For Yoa" sang by himself. Dr. Cal vert claims Vail had been dead hour before the phonograpn started playing. Vail shared a cottage with Willis Clendcnhuj, Milton Cross and James Ruxttm. Rnxton's nephew, Loren. and Dr. Calvert are rivals for ths affections ef Sue Faraday. Mark's nurse. Rtrxton had changed rooms with Vail the day before the crime be cause the former's room had a private entrance and Vail expected a visitor be wanted to receive se cretly. A letter the victim received from New York is missing. Sheriff Firm asks Felipe how she knew Vail had been murdered when he had been covered and the wounds were not visible. She appears to be hiding something and, next morning, disappears. Clendening claims he saw a piece of paper under the clock on Felipe's table. but no trace can be found of tt. Mark, Bob Fowler bis secretary. and Sue are discussing the case when Loren arrives. CHAPTER XIV "Well, well," said Mark. "A neat vanishing act." He srrmned at Loren. Goimr to miss her. Loren?"
