Optimism is the triumph of a dreamer over facts. When a man stops on the gas ha usually gets his foot in it. It's a man's Job to keep spirits up while marking prices down.

The south is still in the saddle, perhaps, but there is a significant accent on the "sad." A diet of yeast will cure almost everything except the habit of fol lowing diet fads.

"Tis ,i fool who worries vainly over things he cannot mend Or spoils tho Joy of pleasure by the dread that it will end. But there comes to every fellow on this planet called the earth Times he really ought to worry if he wants io prove his worth I never see a youngster romping ou the streets In play But I wonder if his father ever worries through the diy. Iloes he worry for his safety, does he worry for his caret Does he worry for his future and the burdens he must bear? Iloes the big fear ever strike him, as he kisses him nt night. That in some way, as his parent. he may not be doing right? Mi i n ran not escape from worry cannot smile at self-disgrace He cannot sit down contented, snicking tasks he ought to face; By his moral obligations to be Just and clean and true. He is bound nt times to worry over what is fair to do. And there's none so rich In wis dom but must sometimes sit at night And worry lest Ms Judgment shall not lead him to th right. Pilgrim Tercentenary Three hundred years ago tomorrow the "Pilgrim Fathers" landed at Plymouth, an event marking an historical epoch j in the history of the world. As usual the circumstances j have been colored with romance and obscured Djr mytns that always attend events whose importance is not realized in their day and whose magnitude is apparent only in the perspective of history. The Pilgrims were a band of religious fanatics, non conformists whose precepts and practices stirred up trouble for orthodoxy. They became outcasts, held their meetings in secret, were subjected to frequent raids, and six of their number perished on the scaffold. Their intolerance and bigotry brought uion them the censure of society. Even Sir Francis Bacon called them "a silly and debased people, here and there in corners, dispersed now, thanks be to God, sup pressed and worn out." Persecution finally drove 300 of these bigots to Ley den, Holland. Though welcomed by the Dutch, they soon out grew their welcome, and the Dutch made it so uncomfortable that plans were made to go to America to found a colony .where they could worship according to their conscience. Twelve years after their arrival in Leyden, 102 of them sailed for the new world. Those who remained eventually were absorbed by the Dutch and a few decades later, had forgotten how to speak English. The Pilgrims sailed on two vessels, one of them the Speed well. No one is sure of the name of Whe other vessel, though half a century later, it was said to be the Mayflower. After several attempts, the Speedwell was forced to abandon the trip, and the Pilgrims, consisting of 73 males and 20 females, including 28 children, sailed on the Mayflower, intending to land in Virginia or New York, but the Dutch crew took them to the barren coast of Massachusetts to get rid of them by starvation. The trip was a tempestuous one, G5 days in duration. Many storms were encountered, and much sickness exper ienced. When Cap Cod was reached, part of the men landed to find a harlwr, and after several days investigation, landing was made at Plymouth. The rock landing, and the rock bound coast were creations of later poetic imaginations, as they never existed. After the landing, the first encounter was had with the Indians, the latter being worsted. Here Pilgrims experienced a terrible winter. All but five or six of the company were sick, and half of the number died. Yet when spring came, none of the survivors would return, dreading the voyage worse than the hardships of pioneering in a strange and barren land. The pluck and perserverance of the Pilgrims, their mdus trv and frugality, their wisdom and courage finally, after exasperating experiences and much hardship and suffering, won them an abiding prosperity, and the colony tlourisned. News of their success reached England and within a few years the Puritan influx to New England was underway. Narrow and bigoted though tney were, rne rngrims nau sturdiness of character, strength of purpose, indomitable will, tireless energy, aggressive combativeness and energy of accomplishment that have obtained through the following centuries and given to America the characteristics that have made the nation great and powerful.

The Crater Lake Findings Followinrr complaints by Stephen Mather, director of the national park bureau, regarding conditions at Crater Lake park, the committee appointed by Governor Olcott after an extended investigation, reports tnat hotel accommodations at the park, though not perhaps equal to those in other national parks, are very fair and that Alfred Parkhurst, the concessionaire, has done his best with the means at hi3 com mand, pioneering under adverse conditions, that no cooper ation has been forthcoming from the capitalists of Oregon to better conditions and that the park bureau itself has done much less than at other parks in the way of improvements. In conclusion the committee states that most of the com plaints are due to the fact that Mr. Parkhurst has not been adequately financed, and that were he afforded proper financial assistance. Crater Lake lodge would become one of the noted resorts of the country, that Mr. Parkhursl has almost impoverished himself to keep Crater Lake Lodge going from year to year, making such Improvements as his financial capacity would permit. He has invested a large sum of money and should he be retired as lessee, should be adequately reim bursed for his expenditure of time and money. Mr. Parkhurst is not a hotel man of the modern type, and we believe in some particulars the mnnagemetil has been lax, and that if satisfactory arrangements could be made lor the buying out or other disposal of Mr. Parkhurst that Crater Lake Lodge properly finanred, might go ahead more rapidly under different management. .Mr. Parkhurst is entitled to great credit for what he has accomplished. In all kindness and respect to Mr. Mather, we believe he expected too much of Mr. Parkhurst under the conditions and has been too harsh and abrupt in handling the situation. The committee believes it the duty of the people of Ore gon either to get behind Mr. Parkhurst, financially or other wise or in lieu of that, have someone organize a corporation that will buy out the existing corporation on a fair basis of return to stockholders and to fairly compensate Mr. Park hurst for the ten years of "nerve racking toil he has under gone" and also that the government carry some of the burden of improving the Crater Lake situation aside from road work. This is practically what Mr. Parkhurst has been asking of Portland capitalists for ten years and Mr. Mather for five years, yet no one has seen any money forthcoming. Columns of newspaper talk have been printed, quantities of abuse vented, but the assistance given Crater Lake, like that promised the "Klamath railroad, is conspicious by its absence. Unfortunately Crater Lake is not in the city limits of Port land and not on the Columbia highway, hence does not inter est the metropolis. If Portland does not act, in all liklihood, San Francisco will, and California virtually annex Crater Lake as a tourist asset lost to Oregon through Portland lethargy. The Restless Sex nf life to new ideals, new aspira tions. He was at the source of inspiration, drinking frequently at times, always unconsciously ab sorbing. At the end of the two year he had no desire to return to New York. A series of voluminous letters ,,:,sse,l between him and Stephanie and between him and Miss Q'tteat. He had plenty of excuses fur remaining another year; his educ ation was not completed; he need ed a certain atmosphere and n certain environment which could be enjoyed only in Europe. Of course, if he were needed in New York, etc. etc. No, he wasn't needed. Mattere could be attended to. The house In 80th Street ought to be cloeed as it was a useless expense to keep the servants there. Poor old Meacham had died; Janet, too, was dead; Lizzie iad gone back to Ireland. The house in town should, therefore. be closed and wired; and the house In the country, "Runner's nest,' should remain closed and ' in charge of the farmer who had al ways looked out for it. This could be attended to; no need of his coming back. So he wrote his directions to Stephanie and settled down again with a sigh of relief to the golden days which promised. His work, now deeply colored by Gallic influence anu environ ment, hud developed to that stage of embryonic promise marred by mannerism and afectations. His style, temporarily spoiled by a sort of Franco-American jargon. be came involved in the swamps of psychological subtleties, emerging jerkily at times, or relapsing into Hebussy-Iike redundancy. buried under a drift of leaves and when the energetic husband rak ed the lawn yesterday he found it.

When she learned that, his wife seemed disappointed. "I was hoping it would be pink" she said wistfully, "because pink is my favorite color." Then Paddy Muskrat said good bye to her and went straight to Mr. Frog's shop to be measured for his new clothes. In three days the new suit was finished. Paddy tried it on; and he was much pleased with it.
