'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

Dr. Copeland
A VACATION is not a real vaca
tio. without adequate hours of Bleep,
rest, an abundance of fresh air and
aunlisht. These are essential to a
healthful vaca
tion. But you can
overdo a good
thing. Many en
joy the sun and
are anxious to
acquire sua tan.
but it la Impor
tant to warn
against pro
longed exposure
to the sun.
In their eager
ness to acquire a
tan. many vaca
tionists tttcoma
the victims of
severe sunburn.
They do not real
ize, that the burn from undue expo
sure to tha sun may prove as dan
gerous aa a burn received from fire
oc a scalding' liquid.
Every day during the rammer
months unsuspecting individuals suf
fer severe and serious sunburn. Oc
casionally this accident occurs while
the person falls asleep on the beach
and la unintentionally exposed to the
strong raya of the sun. An equal
number of accidents occur from de
liberate but careless exposure.
Protect the Skis
To protect your skin against the
dangers of severe sunburn, certain
facts must be kept in mind. First
of these la that the time of exposure
to tha sun should be gradual and only
Increased after the akin baa obtained
a protective coat of tan. Once this
la acquired It is safe to stay out in
the aun for longer periods.
There is another danger, too. Long
exposure on a vary hot day may lead
to sun-stroke or heat-stroke.
No one win deny the beneficial ac
tion of tha sun. For centuries tha
aun baa been regarded aa essential
to the welfare ot tha human race. In
fact, the andenta worshipped tha sun,
regarding It aa a god and tha healer
of all diseases.
Modern acience believes that the
curative value of the sun Ilea in the
chemical reaction of tha sun's rays
upon certain substances within the
body. This reaction prevents those
ailments we regard aa vitamin-deficiency
diseases, such as rickets. It
increases the resistance of the body
to disease. It hastens recovery from
Infectious disorders such as tubercu
losis, mnuensa and other respiratory
diseases.
Value of Son's Rays
In addition, the sun's rays help
atrengtben tha muscles of the body.
They aid digestion and stimulate the
appetite. In abort, a feeling of well

persona daily exposed to aun. Per

Some Oregon history
told by Washington man:
S "a
(Continuing from yesterday:)
"There is a correction I wish you
would make. 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

Editor of The Statesman:
In a recent issue ot The States
man, an article appeared regard
ing the raising ot Angora wool
rabbits and impUed that very few
were raised in this vicinity.
While the.industry is new, and
no one Is la the business to a great
extent there are Quite a number
starting in the business and find
ing it profitable.
While the breeding stock is
high one may make a beginning
with very small outlay, in fact a
few are better to start with than
many, thereby gaining experience
as tne stock increases.
Wool from Angoras is spun into
yarn in this country, but in Eur.
land it is also woven into cloth.
ana mucn of our American wool
is exported there.
The latest quoted prices for first
grade wool is i 6.00 per pound, the
cheapest grade fl.OO per pound.
They are sheared tour times a
yesr and a mature rabbit will
yield from 12 to 14 ounces. The
average cost of feeding la not over
one dollar a year, aad the care ot
them not difficult with properly
cuususcieu autcnes. it is a prom
ising easiness here in the north
west as the climate is wen adapted
to the raialng of wool.
The rnrcroft strain from
Walla, and the Fashion trin
frem Canada are being introduced
here. Both are excellent.
