Turn On the Light.
. Oswald .West, an ex-governor of Oregon, is head of
a committee appointed by the governor to investigate
charges of unsound or dishonest dealings in securities in
Oregon. He brings a report accusing the Ladd & Tilton
bank, of Portland, an old-establishod and highly reputa
ble institution, of having been instrumental in reorganiz
ing an insolvent and unsound industrial concern, the
King's food products company. His report accuses the
bank of having furthered thq sale of stock in the reorg
anized concern to the amount of more than $2,800,000,
mostly to people of small moans.
The president of the Ladd & Tilton .bank hotly
denounces the charges, declaring that the "bank never
owned or sold one dollar of stock in the concern named.
He declares the bank's sole relation to the failed concern
has been that of banker, and that the bnnk's ovory act
in the matter has been open and in the best of faith.
Now here is a situation which on its face calls for
the most rigorouu and fearless investigation. A great
financial institution whose success has boon built upon
the probity of its conduct and the integrity of its deal
ings with the pnblio is acouscd of participation, in activi
ties by which thousands of people of small means have
been victimized. And the accueor is an ex-governor of
the state and" a responsible mnn.
If the bank has done what Mr. West says it has
done, its officers should be held to strict accountability
before the law. if, as the bank president says, the West
report is "cruelly unjust, untrue and libelous" then Mr.
West should be brought to bar to answer tor his course.
The next move is Governor Pierce's. There should
be no delay in getting at the facts of this master.

The Flight And Its Lessons.
If the two American airplanos remaining in the run
ning shall complete their round-the-world flight they will
have been enroute six months or more. Thoro will be
nothing impressive, therefore, in their achievement from
the standpoint of elapsed time' in the. flight. Nor will
.there be anything to point to with pride on the, score of

eiiuurnuoe, lor wo piunea uave uuen uoinpioiuiy wrecttea
and eliminated and the others have each sustained sen
dus damage along the way, so serious as to require re
placement of parts.
What the flight will have demonstrated if it be
brought to successful conclusion, is the vnluo of American
porseverenoo and American enterprise. It will have
shown' to the world in striking manner that whon Amor
icans undertake an enterprise they do not stop because
of ordinary obstacles.
Another valuable result to bo expoctod from the
flight is the strengthening of good tooling toward Amer
icans in the various lands which the aviators have vis
ited. The flyers have beon woll recoived everywhere
and they have so gaugod thoir conduct as to make their
reception deserved, international amity has boon fur
thered by their visit to many lands. .
Final suocoss on the lost difficult log of over-wator
flight iB not yet assured. Unexpected obstacles have
been encountered because of ico conditions on the Grocn
land coast If the planes suceeod in reaching New
1 oundland the remainder or tno trip ought to be com
paratively easy.
No single log of over-water flight on this round-the-world
trip has boon as groat in distanco as some flown
by other aviators previously, Jn 1919 tho NC-4 flew
1200 miles from Trepaasy to tho Azores, and in tho same
year Aloock and Brown flew almost 2000 miles across
tho Atlantic betweon Now Foniulland and Ireland. These
flights were exceptional and have not bct ropoatod or
equaled. Ordinarily tho best that can bo said is that son
plane flights of from 400 to 500 miles are practicable.
American farmors are preparing to raiso more wheat
noxt year than was raised this year, according to reports
received by tho department of agriculture, which indicate
that up to August 1 an incronso of 7.5 per cent in fall
sowing had been planned. The higher price of wheat
this year is due largely to shortago in other countries,
and particularly in Canada. Hoxt year it is altogether
likely that Canada will increase its wheat yield again, as
this year's drouth was almost unprecedented. Over pro
duction has been one of the clii'f caupes of the wheat
grower's troubles. There is an obvious lesson in nil this
which American farmers will do well to regard. Too
great an incrcaso in wheat aoreago will mean cheaper
wheat

Honor Among Convlots
(Albany Herald)
The manifold escapes of trusties
from the penitentiary are viewed with
sadness by '.he Salem Statesman who
confesses "It la grieved" at tho prac
tice. "It is "a p'.ty that so many of
them are devoid of honor.''lt says.
Tbo Statesman belongs to that mod
erA school of thought which thinks
that tho criminal is susceptible of re
formation and that lbs province of
prison management lies essentially In
bringing Its wards to repentance The
theory is Idealistic but It is contrary
to humnn miture.
As a rule men are in the peniten
tiary because they aro lacking in char
acter. The 'characterless person has
no appreciation of those higher vir
tues of loyalty and faithfulness to
trust.

(The Oregoniaji)
That no fat man can hope to be
president of the United States was
declared by Senator Copeland of New
lork in an address to Boy Scouts.
"The public now knows that men are
not born fat, he said, "and that
obesity is due to being too indiffer
ent to personal welfare to keep the
waistline down." Senator Copeland is
a noted phvslclan. If fear that they
may not roach the presidency doesn't
deter men from fighting against the
big waistline, desire for their own
comfort, the conservation . of their
physical and mental energies and con
cern for the general stato of their
health and a useful old age, should
lead men to that simple exercise by
which the huge girth can be avoided.

Rippling Rhymes
.By WALT MASON
f. UNHAPPY
"You have much gold in yellow
barB," I said to Croesus Crank; "you
h-ve your yacht and motor cars,
you're chief pusL in the, bank; you
have your pipe, you have your bowl,
you have your fiddlers throe, yet
seem to own a troubled soul, from
sorrow never free." 1 "My .life's n
frost, it grieves and irks," he said,
"I've no delights. I'm always doctor
ing my writs I cannot sleep o'
nights. - The monster clock is strik
ing one, it's striking three nod four,
and I would gladly swap a ton of coin
h! I could snoro. I count some seven
million sheep, an endless, leaping
throng; alas, I cannot get to sleep,
the night is ten years long. My
chamber. mullioned, arched and
groined, can give me no repose; not
all the kopecks ever coined can buy
an honest doze. Upon my downy
couch I lie In darkness stark and
diimb, and mark the slow hours drag
ging by until the day is come. As
workmen to their divers tasks go by,
I hear them sny, ,pn beds of ease
that old plute basks; he does not toil
all day; If we hnd but -a paltry slice
of that old duffer's pile, our lives
would be serene and nice, our skies
would always smile.' And yet thoRe
workmen go to sleep without the least
delay; they do not count ten million
sheep from dusk till break of day.
They cuddle down and sweetly snore,
like children, free from care, while
sleeplessly I walk the floor, and moan
in my despair." .
English Husbands
Best; They Don't
Nfeg, Says Writer
NEW TORK, Auff. 21. English
men make better husbands than
Americans, because they "treat their
wives as companions and not- as
Americans treat" them, as dolls,
spoiling them with presents, furs
and Jewels," aays Mary Borden, the
novelist, who has returned to the
United States for a visit after an
absence of 11 ears. She Is the
wife of General K L. Spenrs, who
hna been a member of parliament
for throe yenrs. English huRhnnds
don't "nag" continued Mrs. Spears.
"A wife to an Englishman Is n pal
and their life Is more normal than
over here. The English women do
everything the men do and so they
do not have so much time for bridge
and clothes. Consequently they art
not as good dressers as American
women."

PETER'S SHARE
Chapter 46
As the days skipped by the check
for $200 remained safely tucked away
in Leah' a purse She took it out once
or twice end examined it questioning
ly. But always she put it away again.
"Oh. well! I shan't cash it yet. It's
over three weeks before th,e end of
the month, and the bills won't dome
in before the first. There is plenty
of time," she told herself. It seemed
to give her a confident assurance to
have a check for $200 where she
could put her hand on it at any time.
So the days slipped by.
One evening when Peter came, home
Leah met him at the door.
"Aren't you late, dear? she asked.
It's nearly 7 o'clock. Do hustle and
fix up a bit. I've asked Mrs.
Evans to bring her husband and drop
in this evening for a few hands of
bridge. They have the 'apartment
right across from ours on this flodr.
She's so attractive and dresses with
such exquisite taste."
Peter's brows showed the faintest
cloud of diaaprointment. He looked
tired and his big shoulders sagged
Leayily ns if they longed for the rest
and support of a big comfortable
chair. But he kissed Leah fondly,
and forced a smile to his lips.
"Sure, dear! Won't it be all right
if I just put on a clean collar? It's
late, end I'm too dog, tired to do
much more," he pleaded.
"Please fix up a little. I do wish
you would have those shoes shined.
They are the worst looking things,
you can't wear those. Put on your
pumps and do hustle so we can get
down to dinner."
Peter hesitated and looked Ylown at
his shoes. They were well worn and
had reached the otage where a polish
had little effect upon tbem.
"I wonder if It would be all right
il I waited and just slipped on those
light leather house shoes of mine
when we come up from dinner" he
suggested wearily.
"Mercy no! I declare yon are get
ting almost cnrelens a Bout yourself,"
Leah reproved him impatiently.
"Those shoes of youra, are actually
a disgrace. I should think you would
have pride enough to got a new pair.
And renlly, Peter, I've meant to tel!
you before bi:t that old brown hat of
yours fin absolutely green on the
edges. I'll be thankful when the sum
mer is here and you are .forced to
wear a straw one but slippers, and
the Evans coming In for bridge! Don't
think of anoh 4 thing," Leah demand
ed vehemently.

and moved wearily toward the bed
