No one could attain a place such as Ben Olcott.'the new governor of Oregon, holds in the regard of the people of the state without possess ing strong traits of character.

We venture that his conduct of the executive affairs of the state will oe equally as tnorougn ana luir his work as secretary of state. as One of the most difficult problems the peace conference, will have up for disposal, if it can find any solu tion at all in the matter, is that of future relationship between Germ any and Russia. What good will it do to deprive Germany of the Briey district iron deposits if she can have the run of the Urals? What will any trade restrictions with allied powers amount to if Germany is allowed the exploitation and de velopment of Russia? The dor mant possibilities of Russia chal lenge the imagination. Stretching from the Baltic to the Japanese sea is an agricultural area immensely greater than any other similar land on the planet. In a relatively few yearsft may support a much denser population and become a giant among the nations. If Russia is not included among the nations in ine league oi reace, we -can see the force of Senator Knox's conten tion that the League will lead to war ir-stead of peace. Ihelate Governor Withycombe commanded the respect of the cit izens of Oregon because of his mor al character." While he may have made mistakes in an administrative way no one ever impeached his hon esty nor his loyalty. His Ideals were high and he served the state and nation with a mind centered on advancement along lines which his conscience and his understanding both agreed were for the best. He was an example of the American The student of history will ex tract considerable delight from the tendency of the great peace confer ence to restore nations once promi nent and comparatively powerful to places in the world. Perhaps the fact that President Wilson is prom inent in the council and that he has at heart the preferences of a histor ian has a great deal to do with this, but the prospect is good that a number of nations whose fame lingers in romance and tradition will once more become realities on the map of the world. Poland and Bohemia are two prominent -instances. Zion is tapping at the door and the prospects for the real ization of the dream of the Jews down through the ages are good. Also Arabia puts forth its claim for recognition and backs it by a rec ord in the great war of solid achievement. The debt that civili zation owes to Arabia is no mean one. During the'middle'agesjwhen Europe groped in darkness the lamp of culture burned brightly in Arub ia, transmitting lu achievements to our ancestors when they were ready to receive them. While the Arabians excelled in the exact scien cos they also enriched our literature with a dash of romance and not the least of benefit was the inspiration given to European writers. Wash' ington Irving, pioneer among ou men of letters, derived much bene fit from his investigation of the Bedouin. His "Life of Mahomet' is a classic.
