THE next few years will be the most important in the
history of the United States and of the world.
A multiplicity of complex problems await solution
as the old order crumbles into the new.
Social, economic and industrial conditions are in a
state of flux, producing an era of unrest, as reconstruc
tion remodels society.
"We have outgrown the old ideas, the old standards,
the old formulas. . The new are in process of formation.
Action and reaction mingle as we evolve progress.
To meet the world crisis successfully one element is
essential brains. And there is no substitute. -
No business, large or small, can be profitably con
ducted without brains. Capital and labor are helpless
without this essential and the government of the Unit
ed States, the biggest business in the world, which has
the capital and the labor, needs brains to make it profit
able to the people.
Yet the nation is offered as a substitute for brains,
the old formula of politics, partisanship and prejudice, of
platforms of expediency still unwritten as a solution for
the problems of reconstruction.
The country is offered the choice of self-seeking pol
iticians, of party hacks with narrow vision and limited
horizon, of provincial training and meagre accomplish
ment to lead the nation in the great emergency.
Small wonder there is a' popular revolt against the
politicians and their sham battles for offices and a pop
ular demand that brains replace -politics, that a president
be chosen because of his brainsthat is, his proven cap
acity as leader and executive and administrator of nation
al and world affairs.
That is why the people want Hoover for president
because he has the essential element for successfully con
ducting the nation's affairs brains.

MYERS' REMOVAL
THERE will be few tears shed over the removal of

among the democrats. He had no qualifications that jus
tified his appointment, and did not merit it. even on the
grounds of political service. He owed it. to the fact that
he was a protege of the late Senator Harry Lane.
From his first installation in' office, Mr. Myers"
regime has been one of favoritism, over-off iciousness.
bickering, discord and espionage. For years office organ
ization nas been 'breaking down, .efticieqcy decreasing,
and revolt smoldering. His methods were autocratic and
czar-like.
While his inefficient administration probably broueht
pbout his downfall, the greatest objection to Myers was
his lack of tact, his officiousness, and dictatorial attitude
to the people. He quarreled with members of his party,
sought its division, and posed as the voice of the adminis
tration. He was a persistent meddler and manae-ed to
antagonize nearly everyone he came into contact with.
Civil service examination will govern the anDoint-
ment of his successor. In a similar situation in Boston, re
cently a prominent republican passed the highest examin
ation and received the appointment, and Portland may
nave a republican postmaster under a democratieadmin-
lsirauon.

THE RAIN tWIKS.
Cuffy Bear was disappointed. For
when at last his father came gallop
ing up to his house he brought no pig
with him. Indeed be eee.ned to have
forgotten that it was his birthday.
"tiet the children!" he shouted to
Mrs. Bear, as soon as he came in signt.
And pretty soon Cuffy and Silkie and
their father and mother were hurry
ing along on their way to the lake that
lay on the other side of the mountain.
Cuffy waa delighted. He thought that
perhaps he would see the naughty lit
tie bear Peter Again: for he remember
7 V'Zfft
v ., ' -?y!
t LfiW
ed that Peter lived around the moun
tain, right where they were going.
They had travelled several miles
when Mr. Bear Btopped suddenly. And
he said, "Hah!" And he looked up at
the sky. Something had hit him right
in the eye. You might think that Mr.
Bear was angry. But no! He was very
glad. For it was a drop of rain that
had fallen upon him. And in a few
momenta there were countless drops
pattering down. Yea, soon It was rain
ing hard. And to Cuffy ' great disap-l
pointment they all started homewards
again .for Mr. Bear knew that the rain
would soon put the fire out
Mr. Rear had known all the time
(that his house wouldn't burn; for !
jwas made of rock, and went siraigiii)
i into the side of the mountain. But he j
knew that if the woods all around j
caught fire it would be several day:
' before they could go out and get any- j
j thing to eat, or even a drink of water, j
I And that was why he had started to'
lead his family away.
When they were back in their house I
once more Cuffy could think of only'
one thing that would make up for his
not having seen the small bear Peter!
again. And he climbed upon his fa-1
ther's knees and said
"Will you go and get a little pig,
father?"
"A pig?" -Mr. Bear exclaimed. "Well
now why on earth tlo you want a
pig? What would you do with a
pig?"
"I'd eat it," Cuffy said promptly.
"It's your birthday, you know. And we
ought to have a pig so we can have a
real feast."
Mr. Dear smiled. Anil pretty soon
he went out of the house. He was gone
a long time. But at last he came back
again, fairly staggering beneath the
; load that he carried.
I When Cuffy saw what his father
'his father dropped down on the floor
i he hopped up and down in his delight
i There was no pig there, but Cuffy
'didn't mind that. For Mr. BeBr had
j brought heme four rabbits, and four
j squirrels, and four raccoons, and
! four porcupines. And Cuffy ate and
ate until his skin grew so tight that
he was afraid it would burst. He ate
all of one rabbit, and one squirrel,
and one raccoon. But he never
touched his porcupine at all. It made
him think of the time he had tried
to kill aporcupine himself, and had
got his paws stuck full of quills. But
he hud had a real feast, Just the some
THK ATHENIAN" OATH APPLIED
TO SALEM.
To the Editor: A worthy pledge for
members of the North Salem Impro
vement association and for all other
civic organizations is the following; re
markable oath by which, more than
two thousand years ago, the citizens
of Athens that most beautiful of. an
cient cities, swore allegiance to their
city. It is indeed worthy of being print
ed in letters of gold and hung up m
ever' high school in the city, in the
Commercial club, in every church, and
in the chambers of the city council.
But better still let the spirit of these
words sink deep In our hearts, and Sa
lem will soon be far on toward the goal
of being both physically and morally
the cleanest, most beautiful, hear
ful and hi:iy city on the Pacific
coast.
This is the oath by which the citi
sens of Athens swore allegiance to
their city.
"We will never bring disgrace to
this.our city, by any act of dishonesty
or cowardice, nor even desert our" suf
fering comrades in the ranks; we will
fight for the ideals and sacred things
of the city, both alone and with
many; -.ve will obey and revere the
city's laws and do our best to incite
a like respect in those above us who
are prone to annul or set them at
naught; wo will strive unceasingly to
quicken the public's sense of civic
.thought; thus in all these wavs we
will transmit this city not only not
less, but greater, better, more beauti
ful than it was transmitted to us."

Alice Bmilcrt and I 'felt the corners

"John," I said decisively, "I shall

John left the room ju a huff, with

"Alice," I said, and Tfelt the bloo
surge over my face, "would you lend
me a little money? To tell you the
truth, I don't know when I can pay
you back, but I must have some
change."
"Do you mean to tell me that John
Gordon has not arranged for you to
have some money?" she asked as she
began excitedly to hunt through her
headed miser bag.
"He has given ine just $5 since we
were married. He seems to think that
a woman has no neeiljor money. But
he la generous in every other way," I
hastened to defend him against her
look of disgust.

the nurse, "that Mrs. Gordon is getting

about It and a feeling of relief came
over me when she. too. bent down,
kissed me and softly left the room.
I was even glad that the nurse was
us taciturn as usual, ns she prepared
me for the night. Off came my beauti
ful pink silk bed jacket, untied was the
rose-colored bow on my hair, and I
felt very small, very white and very
helpless as she tucked me In and said:
"Go to sleep for a while, I will bring
you your supper later."
