It is said that now, since there is no free land left there is nothing for people out of jobs to do but go on relief. Ominous pictures are painted of future disaster because the lack of the frontier to absorb the dispossessed. The frontier did in the past serve as a sponge to suck up surplus peoples from older settlements. But it is a mis j take to think that the country has struck twelve economically because the homesteiding era is over with. As a matter of fact there aret still considerable areas of lands which may be obtained on very reasonable terms, lands in irrigation pro jects and elsewhere which should yield sustenance to those willing to endure the necessary toil. Besides these lands, there are still new frontiers in enterprise,. Our natural wealth has by no means been fully developed; our wants have by no means reacnea a saturation point or even a piaieau icvei. . The fact is that the period of the frontier ended in 1890 as Prof. F. J. Turnet ably pointed out. Yet as we look back on the forty years between 1890 and 1930 the economic de ' velopment was most swift in that interval of time. Growth of population and of wealth were marked, the former being about doubled and the latter far more than doubled. The ex pansive possibilities here are revealed in the statistics of density of population which is 41 per square mile compared with 196 for France, 742 for England. 159 for Scotland and 610 for Holland. New frontiers lie not in geographic exploration, but in - economic and scientific exploration. The whole automobile Tsdustryrepresents a recently discovered and conquered ec onomic dominion which has absorbed millions as did the fer tOe farm lands of the Louisiana purchase. Why, even the beauty shops are another new economic conquest which af ford employment for hundreds of thousands of workers, y This view which we have been ruminating on for some time is eloquently sustained in an address given by Owen D. Young in Boston, speaking at the 100th anniversary dinner of the New England life Insurance company, ih Boston last week. We quote it at ome length because of its cogency and Incid statement: - L, '"One of the most discouraging tendencies of this day, la the ' notion so widely.preached. that because there are no longer lands - to explore, except such barren regions as challenge the daring ef your distinguished resident. Admiral Byrd, that because all the seas hare been aailled and all the railroads built, because the telephone and the electric light hsre reached to the very economic edge of remote places, that x because insurance has become the established habit of most responsible citizens, that because transport on bind has been, conquered by the motor and fa the air by the plane; there Is nothing more for human, beings ' to do except to 'sugar off; that the kettle with the boiling sap of ' -vital progress can now; be taken from the fire an4.be permitted to eryatalize into a. permanent, rigid and immovable form. They tell us that there are no more worlds to conquer and . that our only hope in a. time of depression like this Is to divide -what we have and be content; that ve'Cta not rescue ourselves - as they did in the 1830'a and the '7$e by opening op to product- '' ive development vast areas of unsettled lands; that we cannot ! rescue ourselves as we did in the 96s by the greatest Industrial advance the world nasi ever known; and so we must not only sugar off our activities but our brains; that the achievements , and experience of older men, who served their time faithfully and well, may now be disregarded; that the .hopes of youth can bo longer contemplate! any such material progress' as the .past has known; that the iron' hand of repression shall be put upon - - the research worker, the inventor and the engineer as enemies rather than benefactor of society; that we must surrender aU 7 -.. tor the drabr treadmill and the lazy, the courageous and the cow ardly, shaJl have equality in recognition and divisions. ; TI subscribe to no such philosophy. The most valuable item on the balance sheet of America has been, and if nurtured will continue to be indefinitely. I predict, the things we do not know. Any paralysis of that God-given trait of inqulsitiveness, that heretofore irrepressible urge to explore, whether it be the land , or the sea, the atoms or the stars, will, to my mind, sound the death knell of human advance, not bury materially, but intellect .tually. too. jv , ' "Many of these theories, based on the assumption that men must be protected whether they work or not, whether they exer- - - else self-restraint or not, I think are misplaced efforts to ad- - . vauce human welfare "flowing from emotions blind to history. iJquor Administration - , BOTH Frank A. Spencer and the members of the liquor commission have teen tight-lipped over the resignation of Spencer as administrator only a few weeks after his ap- v pointment to the post.The Oregon Voter offers its explana tion, which confirms surmise of informed persons, that Spen cer wanted a free hand as administrator to run the business as a general manager, Reporting to the commission as a man ager reports to a board of directors. "A very brief tenure undoubtedly convinced him that he would not be permitted to do this," says the Voter, consequently "there was nothing ior a man oi ms caliber to do The Voter finds in the Pendleton as his successor "a carrying out the wishes of the obliging politician with an jexcellent. reputation for honesty." .me voter describes the members of Ihe commission: McMa4 ban, "an Albany attorney of one of the leading-democrats Portland insurance man of standing; Judge Burns "the salt of the eartn,,a successful merchant, a fine character and canny in public affairs as well as in business" ; and the Voter raises the question, whether he will "remain long under con- uiuuus w meagre so pouucai. . In conclusion the Voter comments: ,- "It is fortunate that we have so able a politician as MeMa han and two such excellent business men associated with him as are Jewett and Judge Burns., It ts to be hoped they will be able to vindicate political management. If. so, it will be one of the few times that politics has beea mixed with liquor without liquor corrupting; politics." There mav have been a bT opinions over relative powers. We are hardly ready to list the bpencer episode as solely the commission to define policy; of the administrator to car. ry out the policy.

He failed to swat the-moth-miller, but was suc cessful in swatting a bottle of tur pentine from the closet shelf. The bottle broke and the BriU domi cile reeked of turnentine for davs. And now whenever Git snatches a whiff of turpentine he snorts Gosh, how I hate moth-millers! It is not always perfectly easv to say what one wishes to say.

Comedy on the screen or in the comic strips is frequently not com edy elsewhefe. The only comedy that is really respectable violates few of the decencies of life. In the course of years I have considered many "absolutely free propositions. Most of them were attached to strinzs. Those which were not attacned to strings were not worth bothering about. Sometimes at those infrequent Intervals when I feel a lonesome- ness creeping over me I go forth into the streets and say "Iowa". The response Is usually Immediate and satisfactory. Occasionally man from Nebraska appears, and him Ijdirect to William Neimeyer, When I first began the study of geography the region between the Missouri river and the.

Baker was afam!liar figure on the streets of Salem: December 11, 12, IS last, this column turned back the pages of history 21 years to give a sketch ot the life ot D. W. Craig, who was for over 5 years in newspa per work, most of the time on The Statesman. He lived a full, useful and Interesting life. Now the pages are again turned back, this time over 47 years, to reprint an article written by D. W. Craig for The Statesman, of Jan. 1, 1888, on Col. E. D. Baker, "a fitting tribute to a patriot's mem ory and "reminiscences of Ore gon's first senatorial : light" be ing among the words tn "the head lines. It there is a reader who re calls the article when it was first printed, he will be glad to read It again.

The writer knew him in the east ' and In : Oregon, - and had MANY OPPORTUNITIES In learning much - of his ' character and ' disposition, his aspirations and' ambition. By people gener ally he was looked upon as a bril liant orator, and his title to dis tinction and greatness was meas ured - by them according; to this single, standard. COL' Baker him self never regarded his transcend ent power in this respect as more than an adjunct merely in his as pirations for tame. For money .he possessed but little, regard, view ing the pursuit ot wealth for its own sake as but a vulgar princi ple, belonging, only to the sordid part ot human nature. His ambi tion was as - boundless as that of Napoleon, and his restless dispo sition wanted only a fitting oppor tunity and a proper field la which to signalise his marvelous .Quali ties for command. His genius was essentially m 1 1 1 1 a r y, and the breaking out of - the great civil war seemed , to open up to nun a prospect ot " obtaining unfading glory.
