To fair, it mast indeed seem a magical scenebut all of it, in cluding the island itself , was i Man's Jbest artistry was ting and the buildings but removed when the fair Is over, the island then becoming an airport; therefore the buildings are not of truly substantial construction. . .. . ' . . Undoubtedly a good many the fifty million dollar cost of been protests against the rather modest appropriation of the state of Oregon to establish an exhibit at the fair. But Oregon will be reoaid many fold for this small investment and whe ther the San Francisco fair pays its way in hard cash or not, the cost will return vastly multiplied to San Franciscans and Californians. It Is the defeatist attitude of a growing fraction in our population which objects to ' constructive expenditure, con tending that such amounts should go for relief. As the per centages of public revenue devoted to relief expand, a vi cious circle develops, dragging more people to a relief status. Similarly conceived objections, in the legislature and out, to the raising of public officials' salaries are not well taken. The legislature Is in danger of voting unwarranted in creases; but if the office involved is a. responsible one which warrants a higher salary, the relief need argument is un sound. The public, like private enterprise, gets, what it pavs for in the way of trovernment; there are jobs for which it should pay more than it does, and then it should expect its money's worth in public service. Pulling our thoughts back to Treasure Island after hav ing wandered .rather far afield, it does seem that some Cali fornia city is always promoting a-world's fpir. This is San Francisco's second since the earthau er fire of 1906. It seems no time at all since San Diego's exoosition. There must be some reasonfeven aside from the desire to lure tourists and new settlers, for the plethora of giVantic spectacles in the state that also has Hollywood as a fairly permanent though ever-changing big soectacle. The answer seems to be that Californians are forever disposed to dramatize the things they do and the things they have done. Things dramatic in themselves have happened in California; the early struggle between Spanish and American civilization, the gold rush and the boom days that followed, the holocaust of -4906, the state's mushroom srrowth in the present century, Hollywood itlf, the football teams of Cali fornia's "big three" colleges. Tom Mooney, Upton Sinclair, Harry Bridges, the Bay Bridges. Bat dramatic things have occurred in other places and they did not suggest to the populace the holding of a world's fair. There must be something in the California mentalitv that does it One writer refers to it avthes "self-conscious" western civilization. The world's fair is designed to be a dra matization of whafthe people are and what they hav done. Only a people self-conscious of their achievements will thus dramatize them. J. . No, we are not going to drag Oregon into any invidious comparisons. When Bonneville is actually in service and the Willamette Valley project is well under way, we expect to help- dramatize these marks of progress in a suitable way. Meanwhile, we will rejoice and profit if we can in San Francisco's achievement. Unfair to Three separate measures now before the legislature wolud bar aliens from professional status in Oregon. One re lates to dentists, one to optometrists, one to lawyers. The up shot of the legislation if it becomes law would be that a for eigner who came to Oregon would be barred from practicing ; his chosen profession, no matter his aptitude, until the slow process of naturalization was completed. v Senator Strayer stated the case precisely : "If we proceed on this theory we might as well pass legislation that persons who are not citizens of the United States are banned from any useful occupation in Oregon," he declared. Nevertheless the ! senate passed such a bill Saturday. The state uses its sovereign power in providing profes sional standards and boards to safeguard its citizens from in competent or poorly trained men. Whether a manVis a citizen or an alien does not bear; on his professional skill. If the oro . posed statutes become law, a skilled European admitted to this country and choosing Oregon for his home, would be com pelled to seek manual employment until a five-year, waiting period had expired. - I t j , Clearly the amendments proposed have nothing to do with qualifications for a profession; they are aimed to re strict competition." The state could well reouire that a man , file his declaration of Intention for citizenship; it should not in equity forbid by law the employment by a skilled new comer of his professional training. , t . - Columnists and sport writers overwork that gag about Ail-Americans named Wojdehowicz and such, as assumed to be of recent immigrant families. The Baltimore Sun lists the following lineup among the Colonial Dames, an organization limited in membership to women whose ancestors were in America in colonial times: De Raasloff. de Ropp, de Saumier, Ehrenclou, Majewski, Malevsky-Malevitch, von Mohren schildt, Mikchalapov, Heitzelmann, Zaugg and Zug. w Once again Eleanor Holm, comes to grief because of champagne.

V ; V- An Inquiry comes to this desk: "Where Is the end of the . Old Oregon Trail?" When, the answer is given, that no one knows, the inquirer is disappointed, for, in the plan-that brought the ques tion, the trail must hsve an end -ne, definite end. , But it would be as hard to fix as the end of the rainbow. People, especially ' political mind ed persons, hare been looking for the end of the rainbow erer since: old. Noah (Genesis: t.ll) watched for., the "bow In the cloud" that would be "for token of a covenant" that there would b no more flood of the sixe that sent Noah to his arav And no one has yet reached the rain bow s end. It the inquirer were- to go to Seaside, -Oregon, looking for the end of the old trail, he would be told by . otherwise honest and law abiding . people that he need to no further --that Seaside Is the very end of that ancient tltoroagbfare, for did not. mem ben of the Lewis . and . Clark party go clear to the site of Seaside and there render salt from sea water at the western most end of the trail of those explorers right on the edge of tne Partite ocean? The cairn for the marker of that first salt works is easily found at Seaside? It was buUt under the auspices of the Oregon Historical Society. But, let the searcher retrace his steps and reach, withlu 15 miles, more or less, the , site of Fort Clatsop, and he would be at another place which Las been posed as the end of the Old Oregon Trail. Also by good, honest people. S The whole Lewis and Clark party, with Sacagawea and the boy "Pomp" and all the rest, spent a large part, of the winter of 1805-1 at Fort Clatsop. A lot of high, romantic hlstor was enacted there in those months. Including the celebration of Christmas, 1805. .But Lewis and Clark were not on the Old Oregon Trail, as such, at all. The South Pass was not discovered till nearly a quarter of a century later. Fort Clatsop and the salt cairn are places of high history to thrill the heart of a history minded person. But neither is the end of the Old Oregon Trail. S Then take The Dalles, old Wascopam, the ancient toll gate of the Klickitata, thieves a-d pi rates of the Columbia. All the covered wagon Immigrants of the first years, up to 1846, came that way. Good, honest people at The Dalles say that was the end of the Old Oregon Trail. It was, till the Barlow road began to be used (1845-6-7); but the end of what? The end of wagon travel. There covered wagons, if they were to be taken clear through, had to be pulled apart and loaded onto rafts or boats and taken down the Columbia. S S Then there is Oregon City. Fine, upstanding, law respecting persons have for many years said that was the end of the Old Oregon Trail. It was for many for those who arrived late over the Barlow route, half starved, hungry and cold. Also for many who came down the Columbia on boats and rafts from The Dalles, thence up the Willamette. But, to many . thousands, Ore gon City was a mere halting place, to arrange for other des tinations. Was the site of Salem the end of the Old Oregon Trail? Yes. for a proportion of the whole number of tired trekkers off the plains. Bat so was Cynthlan, site ot Dallas; and Marysvllle, site of CorvaUls; and the Tualatin Plains, sites ot a dozen cities; and the Waldo HUls, and Cham poeg, Butteville, Lafayette, Eu gene, for Eugene Skinner, first settler, and Slabtown, where Cottage Grove is now, and so on and on. In short, the Old Oregon Trail had many ends. Every little pioneer cabin of un hewn logs was an end. V Some one asked the writer, "T7as not Aurora the end of the Old Oregon Trail?" No. The first members of the Kell colony who came over the Old Oregon Trail, In 1853 and 1855, went to the Willapa river, Washington, and began moving from there In 1856, some not making the trans fer till -10 y-ars later. 'Aurora was the end ot the Old Oregon Trail colony covered wagon trains of 1I62,,18S; and 1867. They all came the old way, excepting for the Lander cutoff But a few came by the Isthmus of Panama. S S An important end of tie Old Oregon Trail, up to 1847, was the Whitman mission. Nearly all the covered wagon Immigrants stopped there, or near there, at least temporarily, and rested and made plana for the balance of the Journey. i - . But the big immigrations' of 1848 to 1S54 passed it a.t for it was wiped out with the mas sacre of Nov. 2t, 184.7. v N i-.... : S - f .The same thing as to the starting points ot the Old Oregon TraU. .They were as many as the tens : ot thousand of 1 homes from which the voyagers nt. though there, were nnmerors onu fitting places, like Independence E LION'S CLUB""" CHARITY SHOW ! -JO A Musical - ' A1V- Toe-Wed Feb. 21-22 Leslie High Aadhorfam?

That is very difficult to prove. To take a. sentence out at Ita context, to quote the sentence and wilfully to distort it against the sense of the whole article is not libelous.

It is no contribution tO discussion, however, to aaw that Mr. T. thinks as he does about the president because he is a Jew or because he has a frustrated love life. Tet I have read such printed statements. There is a place for polemic in all discussion, whether written or spoken. But even po lemic needs to be able to support its case in reason and in fact. There also is no noasibiHtw in Journalism of avoidinsr mininir. ments and even misstatements of purported fact, for the most con scientious are fallible. But it ought to be possible to frame a code whereby slander is earnestly aiacouragea. -. There Is no freedom which does not carry with it a reciprocal re sponsibility, and the object of all civilization 4s to establish stand arts by which order can be brought out of anarchy.
