I met him on the highway and his
plight was and to see.
Kin clothes were stained and dusty and
as shabby as could be;
Kays he: "l need assistance and I'm
asking It from you.'
To which I rlibly answewd: "Friend
I'll tell you what to do.'"
Running true to common custom, I be-

Savins: "pull yourself together and
some day you'll surely win.
Find a Job and work your hardest, you
can conquer if you will."
But he RTinned a bit and answered:
"Mister, get me. I am 111."

And right now your sermon's wasted;

It's not advice I'm after, it's a little
help I need.
Now that fellow's g-ot me thinking.
He's been in my mind all day,
I can see his gloomy figure slowly
trudging down the way.
But I learned from him "this lesson,

Better far than words of wisdom is to

GOD MADE THE MOUNTAIN
CLYDE B. AITCHISON, Oregon member of the interstate
tommerce commission, thinks that our western peaks, such
as Mt Hood, Rainier, St. Helens and Baker, should be
named in honor of American presidents. The change wont be
made because the familiar names of our snowy mountains have
been in use too long. Nor would it be entirely satisfactory to
t-ttach presidential names to these mountains were the thing
possible. We have had some presidents who stand out in his
tory as mountains but we have also had presidents who in real
ity were but political sand spiles. They reached the presidency
not hi'cause they were great men but because they were not. So
were names of presidents selected for our wonderful scenic snow
clad peaks there would be need of care lest nature be maligned.

hia existed. It remained for a bold Boston navigator to find the
river and enter it. Captain Gray stood off the mouth for nine
days vainly trying to enter and finally cburageously came in un
der full sail despite the fact he knew nothing of the bar or chan
nel cr what lay ahead of him. Captain Gray was the hero of the
Columbia and the only one worthy of the name. After he had
found the river and explored it to some distance above Tongue
point the English under Vancouver followed him and by virtue
of the fact they were the first to make the long trip up river as
sumed the right to name our mountain. Had they been gener
ous they would have" honored the name of Captain Gray instead
cf Lord Hood. But men in those days were of the same clay as
at ;.: tscnt and so Mt. Hood is Mt. Hood. But after all who cares.
Man bestowed the name but God made the mountain and it is
God a work that people rave about. They dont know who nam
ed the mountain or who it was named for.
THE PRESIDENTS LEADERSHIP
IN recent weeks President Harding has shown a tendency
toward more active leadership than at first and his course is
eliciting approval as will be shown by the following from
the Clews review of July 16 :
president Harding's invitation to the principal allied and associated pow
er to join in a conference for the discussion of armament questions, and if
I.oaxible to evolve some settlement of I'aific problems has been received as
the must positive evidence of national leadership for a long time past. Ac
iptance by some of tin. chief European nations ensures a thorough considera
tion of the whole internatinnaj situation. Meantime', conclusion of working
relations between the I" nited States and Germany (should go a long way toward
the improvement of the trade situation.
In another way the week has been notable for national intervention In im
portant business affairs. President Harding's attempt to bring once more to
Uue front the question of tax revision bo long neglected by congress, and the
support he has received in many influential business quarters, show that this
subject will not, after all. be indefinitely laid aside. Taken in conjunction with
his bonus bill recommendations, noted last week, his action shows the presi
dent fully alive to the needs of the business world, and prepared to assist in
I romoling legislative progress when necessary. The market has received the
Kiatements of the president accordingly as a very hopeful augury. Effect on
the general tone has been correspondingly good and action by congress in line
with the president's tax recommendations, which is now promised within two
weeks in the house, should prove eren more stimulating to those who had
li.rt confidence in the prospects of genuine relief from present tax evils.
It may be remarked, however, that the evasion of the bonus
issue by the government at Washington is not solving the prob
lem. It merely leaves to the various states a duty that should
logically be handled at Washington
One might infer from the report of a discussion at a Port
land meeting yesterday that some people think the way for an
officer to stop speeding on the highways is for the officer to
nierely salute the seedsters as they sail past him. The thing can
not be done that way.
t
There should be a full and impartial probe into our road ac
counts, missing nothing; if all is well save for the Amann case
ro much the better but the truth should be brought out no matter
what the truth may reveal.
Every day or twice a day the French and English agree on
li e Silesia question and Japan whole-heartedly agrees to the dis
armament conference but if they are agreed why do they
keep on agreeing.
