Gentlemen and Ladies
SPREAD on the front page of a few mornings ago was the
bald assertion of President MacCracken of Vassar college
that, gentlemen and ladies, as once we knew them, are now
persons of the past. Such a provocative declaration should
have stirred up replies but so engrossed are people in the
Johnson-Long-Coughlin carnival of castigation, in preparing
their spending lists for the Townsend dollar-shower, in ob
serving the devolution of the new deal and the legislative
wrestling matches that the MacCracken statement passed al
most unnoticed. It is significant that a fuller development of
the same thesis appears in the
where a paper appears, "What a
Dwight Sedgwick, New England
taken from his forthcoming book, "The Guild of Gentlemen ,
The Sedsrwick article is a plaintive farewell to the gentle
men of the ancient regime, who are roughly shouldered aside
bv the rising tide of politicians, and the now - remembered
"forgotten men". The author sees culture erased and stand
ards lowered as the "trained, disciplined, cultivated few" are
displaced in security and in influence by the multitude, "un
expectant heirs, intoxicated by a sudden opulence of leisure",
whose tastes reach only to "the professional baseball game,
the Drize fisrht. the films of Hollywood." Staunch defender of

"It was, of course, highly paid, by privilege, leisure, and
luxury, even in times when serfs and peasants were suffering
from want and the burgesses of towns were scrimping and sav
ing, but it paid back pound for pound, florin for florin, ducat for
ducat, because it held fast to the great traditions of civilization,
because it cultivated and cherished tastes, feelings, standards,
that raise men above the savage and the barbarian."

scoffs at "manners , betrays wretched taste in habits of liv
ing, in design, in social relations. With bitter irony Mr,
Sedgwick ridicules the prevailing humanitarianism :
"This solicitude for the human belly and the human back is
idolatry. And the church, or rather, I should say, the Protestant
churches share in it; their ministers cross themselves, and drop
into papistical genuflexions, when they pass the altar of humani
tarianism, they chant hymns to the proletariat, they bustle about
; t inquiring if the dear people in the East End where wage earners
; spend their wages on beer, and their wives bring forth new ob
jects of human solicitude as fast as slow-working nature will
allow find their dear bodies comfortable, and their dear babies
on the way to becoming aa free, as enlightened, as forward-looking
as their parents. The centre of human gravity has shifted.
The old spiritual values contemplation, meditation, the com
mandments of self-control and self-improvement are cast aside,
the humanities, with their exaltation of the cardinal virtues, For
titude, Temperance, Prudence and Justice thrown overboard; and
if this be so, and it is so, if the humanities are neglected for
scientific specialization, religion neglected for gratification of
the humanitarian herd instinct, the Guild of Gentlemen meta
phorically hurried 'a la lanterne', who then will maintain the
sacred cult of beauty, who uphold the nobler values of life?"
A Veritable jeremiad; and one which contains real areas
of truth. But we incline to the view that both Mr. Sedgwick
and Pres. MacCracken err in classifying gentlemen and ladies
as museum pieces. History shows that the free masonry of
cultivated folk has remarkable powers of survival. This up
surge of vulgarism has occurred many times in human his
tory. But as the turbulence subsided there always emerged J
, folk who cherished high standards of conduct, who cultivated
tastes and manners which serve as patterns for the masses.
The old gentleman is always dying; his death rate is higher in
seasons of feverish equalitarianism. But new gentlemen and
ladies are bing born. There.is an immortality in good taste,
; in chivalry, in high aspiration, proven through long cen
turies of human experience, which affords abundant faith in
the revival of that Guild of Gentlemen once more to be the
glass of fashion and the mold of form.
Women in Business
THE organization of Business and Professional Women are
celebrating their special week this week. Composed of
i .-women actively engaged in professional or business work,
this group of 55,000 "white collar" women workers has risen
rapidly in importance in the last few years. Besides giving
new social contacts and new horizons for women in the indus
trial world, the organization is a real agency for self-expres-,
sion, for cooperative effort, and for entrenching women in
r the place they have rightfully
to modern business life.
.Manv Wnmpn an risinor
managerial positions. And an uncounted number are real
ianainstays of offices, giving that care for detail and that
housekeepers efficiency and faithfulness which make busi
ness offices function as successfully as they do. So the busi
ness world, which is still chiefly a man-bossed domain, ought
to doff its chapeau this week to those capable and dependable
women who do so much of the work that is-donc in business
these days.

What if Pronunciation Is Wrong?
Clear Meaning Is More Essential
By D. H. Talmadge, Sage of Salem
Looks a heap like spring is

"There are very few gentle
men left in the world and I know
there are no ladies in the old
sense." Thus spake President
MacCracken of Vassar in an ad
dress at the Univesity of Chicago
last Sunday. A somewhat start
ling statement to come from the
head of the oldest women's col
lege in America. Perhaps it is par
tially true. But it takes In too
much territory. Here and there,
as it may be at Vassar, gentle
men are few and there are no
ladies in the old sense, but in
this country and in the world
there are thousands of communi
ties of which the governing soc
ial bodies are as truly ladies and
gentlemen aa were the men and
women and boys and girls of for
mer days. Dr. MacCracken may
think he knows whereof he
speaks, but I shall insist that he
Is mistaken, at least until such
time as be explains his meaning
more clearly.
It Is presumable that Dr. Mac
Cracken merely wished to say
something sufficiently strong to
get under the skins of the 286
seniors and 500 undergraduates
who listened to him at the Uni
versity of Chicago, and if he was
successful In making them re
member their manners more care
fully his breath was not wasted.
It Is better, I have found, to be
somewhat careful in the pronun
ciation of words. The person with
whom one is talking is, in a sense,
a better authority than the dic
tionary. If he or she pronounces
a word incorrectly, and the word
is one which you have chanced
to look tip, it is advisable for you
to either avoid using the word
or pronounce it as he or she pro
nounces it. Do not, I pray you, be
a sap and show off your familiar
ity with the dictionary pronun
ciation of the word. The temp
tation to do so is great, but re
strain yourself. What with the
French and German and Spanish
and Italian and goodness knows
what all words in the English-
American language, everybody
slips at one time or another, and
you are likely to come In for a
shot of retribution If you lay your
self open to it.
I have known intelligent and
well educated people who .delib
erately pronounce foreign words
as the spelling of the words in
dicates the pronunciation to English-American
eyes and ears.
But O well, do as you please.
The talkies have, I think, im
proved the general quality of the
English-American heard in the
streets. We accept enthusiastic
ally pronunciations from a favor
ite actor which we scorn to take
from the dictionary.
And, anyway, pronunciation of
words is not so important as .clear
meaning. The clearest of meaning
sometimes comes across in pretty
terrible language.

they pause to discuss the display

(Concluding from yesterday:)
Father Delorme wrote plainly that
he burled Marie Iowa, Wife of
John'Touptn, in the church of St.

hume meant in the ground,
Father Delorme was the priest
of the church, the cure. He was
a well known pioneer. He tiled
upon and was granted a donation
land claim. He was one of the
men who platted the town of St.
Louis, partly on his own land.
There were two witnesses, and
both of them were well known;
each was granted a donation land
claim by the United States gov

Dellard, had been a witness, nine
years before, to the marriage of
John Toupin and Marie Iowa.

pounded to him in a letter. : The
letter stated: "When the. Dorion
woman was burled, the cure at
St. Louis might have allowed any

anywhere in the church excepting
under the altar." Father Kraus
was asked to., say if that state

They reached the familiar oblong
block at last, faintly lit, beside a
double track. Seward got out of the
car and helped Cathleen, very stiff,
to her feet, and they both thanked
their Samaritan warmly: the end
of their difficulties seemed in sight.
"You'd do as much for me. Glad
to help you out," he said fraternal-
y, and drove away.
Thev went inside. The ticket win
dow was closed. But Seward had
seen a shadowy figure loafing in the
door of the baggage-room, and went
around there.
"When's the next train to New
York?" he asked.
The station agent looked around.
"Train to New York, hey? There
ain't but one more tram tonight,
and that goes to Springfield."
Seward cut all that he felt into a
brief explosion of profanity, "That
, garage-man down tne
road told us there was one for town
at eight something!'
"He prob'ly didn't mean to mis
lead you." the agent said mildly.
"That train don't run on Sunday,

and get a tram there for New

When is the Springfield tram

His face and voice showed his dis

(A crypt is a chapel under the

" 'The answer: If the crypt is

"The above Quoted law, I be

The reader has been by the
translation that dans l'Eglise
means in the church, and he has
noted that the statement that
Marie Iowa had been inhumed
meant that her body had been de
posited in the ground.
Thus there can be no reason

There is a tradition that the
present one is the third Catholic
church built at St. Louis. The
writer thinks il is the second. The
tradition is that the first one was
built of logs.
Willard H. Rees. who came
with the 1841 covered wagon im
migration, and who was promin
ent in early day affairs, delivered
the annual address at the 1S79
reunion of the Oregon Pioneer as
sociation. This is a paragiaph of
that address:
"I purchased from a Canadian
Frenchman in 1845 the farm in
French Prairie on which I have
since lived. At that time, I had
the contract of building the Su
Lou Id Catholic church, situated on
the western border of what was
known as Big Prairie. This
church, unlike St. Paul's, located
seven miles west of north, was
not erected by the assistance of
missionary funds, but by the Ca
nadian settlers." The Inference is
that the church which Mr. Rees
erected in 1845 was the first one.
The first Catholic church bujlt
in present Oregon was a lo?
building, erected in 1836, but It
stood a considerable distance west
of the present St. Paul church.
There was a second church build
ing at St. Paul, and the present
one is the third. The writer
thinks the idea of a first log
church at St. Louis comes from
the one at St. Paul. But, if he is
RiistaKen, he will be glad to have
confirmation of it, for publica
tion. s s
The main object in giving so
much attention and space to the
matter under discussion Is to get
at "the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth."
Men and women who read and
understand history agree' that the
Dorion woman was a character
deserving a great deal of honor In
connection with the early develop
ment of the Oregon country,
whose services had far reaching
effect upon the destiny ' of this
whole coast, and consequently of
our nation had the entire world.
