The Pioneer Pageant.
rT"VIIE pioneer pafrcnnt which is nenring its close as this
-- edition of The (itinrd goes to press seems uusunuu
to become- an mutual institution and a classic in Lane
county. It is fine that this is so. The pagemit serves
the highly useful purpose, aside from the entertainment
that it furnishes, of inculcating in the rising generation
Jiere, pioneer knowledge, which is the background that
all of us need.
Wo need that knowledge and that background to
give ua proper appreciation of the things that our
pioneer forbears wrought hero. Wo need to know about
their early struggles and achievements against tremen
dous odds; in conquering tho wilderness and the savages
and in tho makintr of this country into a desirablo and
fruitful placo of abodo for those of us who have come
after. All this did not just Happen, n was aemeveu.
And those vbo achieved it were our pioneers, of whom
a goodly number nro still with us.
Lane county had an important and prominent part
In tho early history of tho Oregon country. Eugene was
one of our earliest towns. The pooplo of Oregon
twice voted to locato tho state capital here. Tho pioneers
of this district had much to do with tho shaping of our
state's destinies. Tho pioneer pageant will serve a use
ful purposo. It is woll that it is to bo made a permanent
yearly event
Mr. Crews and the Guaranty.
A STATE official in any capacity openly lending his
presence to a stook-solling campaign meeting pre
sents rather a romarkablo figuro, but when that official
is a corporation commissioner, charged with regulation
and restriction of stock-selling projects, the spectacle
becomes still more remarkable. At the meeting of the
Guaranty oil company stockholders here Wednesday
night, Corporation Commissioner W. E. Crews acted as
spokesman for the company management, in inviting any
stockholders present who might bo dissatisfiod with
their investments in Guaranty oil company stock to
come forward and receive a refund of tho amounts they
had paid, together with interest from the timo the in
vestment was mado. Obviously, the object in having the
corporation commissioner mako this announcement, in
stead of letting it bo mado by a company official, was
to inspire confidence.
Next to tho presence at tho meeting of tho corpor
ation commissioner and the part ho pfayod there, tho
most remarkable thing about it all was tho manifesta
tion of faith given by the stockholders. Of COO said to
have been present, not one availed himself of the offer
of a refund as extended through tho corporation com
missioner. That signifies nothing either as to merit or
lack of merit by tho Guaranty company's project, but
it shows very dearly Jiow strong tho stockholders' ex
pectations have been made, and how great is their faith
in tho company management.
The corporation commissioner is quoted as having
romindod his hearers that such enterprises as this one
are highly speculative, and that none should invest in
them except those who could afford to lose what they
put in. Ho mado it known thnt $200,000 of tho $300,000
capital stock in tho company already has boon sold and
that tho whole proceeds havo been spent in woll drilling
and commissions to stock salesmen. Now ho will permit
another $100,000 of stock to bo Bold.
If tho corporation commissioner's prescription for a
stockholder's qualifications is being followed, and if all
who havo invested in oil stock hero oan afford to take
their lossos even to tho point of totality in case no oil is
found, thon there is little loft for other pooplo to criti
cize on that score. But what shall bo said for tho pres
ence of tho corporation commissioner at a "kick-off"
meeting for a now stock-soiling campaign, or of tho part
bo played thorot
The Salom Capital Journal discovers that there are
too many wocks in tho your. It isn't calender weeks
that the editor finds too numerous. These, on tho con
trary, are too few to go nround. It is tho special
"weoks" for all sorts of uplift, wclfnro and commercial
pnrposos, to boom this, that or tho other oauso or com
mercial product, that ho calls to attention. So numer
ous havo thoso become thnt they crowd each other, over
lap and get in each other's way. To each mid every one
of them tho newspapers nro expected to devoto columns
of freo spaco and over each and every one of thorn tho
editor is snpposod to work up n largo degreo of en
thusiasm. Tho "week" business, "for uplift or shako
down," as tho Capital Journal forcibly expresses it, has
beconio badly overdone.
Department of Agriculture- bulletin No. 13'JG is a
trentiso of advice to fanners on how to keep eows from
eating garlic. The best method, the author of the
bulletin finds, supposedly after deep research, is to keep
tho garlic out of reach of tho eows. Tho country is
safe. Our government is functioning well. Hy "this
bulletin it unquestionably has sot agriculture on its
way to prosperity. Wo look .hopefully forward to the
timo when there shall bo issued another government
bulletin, telling editors how to keep dnuhs of printer's
ink from getting on their clothes.
It is entirely appropriate that tho theater which
represents tho fulfillment of tho idenls and the efforts
in Eugeno of A. 11. McDonald should bear his name,
fcio now wo have the McDonald theater.
Forest Supervisor Macduff purposes that the flowers
and shrubs that line the McKenzie highway shall bo pro
tected against the vandalism that destroys them root
and branch. And he is right as right can he.

The Degeneration of the Mouth Organ
(New Tork World)
When the harmonica coutet was
announced many of us believed thnt
the good old days had returned. But,
alas, when the first bout was held
what do we find? A program of
strange tunes at alien to the har
monica aa hora-d-oeuvrea are alien to
beefsteak. "Carmen" and "Lohengrin"
and "Un bel dl vedremo," from "Ma
dame Butterfly." How did such things
ever get Into tbe literature of the
harmonic? If the piano has Ua spe
cial piecea like the Usxt Hbapsody
No. 2, and the orchestra baa Ua spe
cial pieces like the Beethoven Sym
phony No. fi, and tbe violin haa ita
special pieces like "Hearts and Flow
era," then tbe harmonica has Ite
special pieces no leas. " Outstanding
among them la "Turkey la the Straw."
Next comes " Arkansas Traveler."
And for the player whuee specialty la
round, luscious tone, there la "March
ing Through Georgia." Finally, there
is that classic, "Hang Jeff Davis to a
Sour Apple Tree."
Why don't the harmoniclsts stick
to their last and give ua the literature
of the Instrument Instead of these
grand opera pieces? Like everything
else, the harmonica his a tradition,
and It ought to be upheld.

Line's Busy
(The Oregonian)
To be sure, there are many excel-
lent causes, ranging from home gar
dening to the relief of Indigent oyster-
men, which commend themselves to
the propagandist, both lay and pro
fessional, as ideal topics of discussion
for the school room. Nevertheless, as
Mr. Shu 11 ventured to observe, it
cannot be denied that disruption of
classes and study periods tends to
defeat, or at least to hamper, that
purpose to which our schools are dedicated.
It may be said, In wide-eyed re
proach of such an antiquated view
of educational matters, that school
children are fertile soil for the sow
ing of sociological and humanitarian
ideas and ideals; and it may even be
suggested that the youngsters carry
home to their benighted parents,
aunts and uncles, messnges which
broaden the family vision and tbe
family life. Perhaps this Is true in
every particular, yet the stubborn fnct
persists that schools have a very
definite purpose which to be properly
attended to takes all of their time.
Teachers now have their hands full In
directing tho pupils away from piny
and outside diversion into tho rou
tine of learning.
Time 1 swift and Inexorable. It
mny appear that there- are plenty of
days on tho calendar, hut though each
calendar is crowded there are never
quito enough. This poking of an In-
lulnite well-meaning finger In the
schools li grcntly like digging up the
garden seeds to ace If they yet havo
sprouted. Director Hhull does well to
advise against it.

ASI I INGTON, May 0. Unless
the government makes a better
showing In Its case here against Sen
ator Wheeler than the prosecution
made against him In Montana, Justice
nurmu F. Stone of the federal su
preme court in going to be "in" aome
whnt "had." The Montana case wasn't
chargeable to Justice Stone's account.
It it was a frumcup, as Senator Whee
ler contends, and as the jury seems
to have thought, too, the framing was
done heforo Stone took over the jus
tice department, and he Inherited It,
with otlior unfinished business left
over from the Dougherty regime. For
the Washington Indictment, however.
Stone himself was responsible.
.
In ordinary circumstances a pros
ecutor who fails to make out much
of a case against a man he has been
inmruinentnl in having indicted,
though he may be blamed for pro
feeding ou insufficient evidence, can
Ht leaat'reply that be was Inspired
by no improper animus, at any rate,
lint these circumstances are not or
dlnory. If the evidence at Senator
Wheclcr District of Columbia trial
proves no more substantial than the
ovidence In his triul at Great Folia,
Justice Stono, who, aa attorney gener
al at the time, got the Washington in- i
dictinent returned, will have consider
nble to explain. Ho may not do It, but
it will be in order, all the same.
.'
Of course the then Attorney Gen
eral Stone kuew about the Montana
accuaiatiou when ho launched his own
grand jury investigation of Senator
Wheeler here. lie knew it was made
at a time which cast some doubt on its
good faith. Obviously it behooved him
lu move very carefully, or he might
be Mispected of lending himself to nn
attempt at persecution. In fact, there
actually were complaints. They delay
ed senatorial confirmation of the at
torney gencrul's appointment to the
supreme bench. Certain senutors also
asked, even assuming ihere was a
strong case against Wheeler, why in
dict him twice in two different places
for the same thing?
Nevertheless the attorney general
went ahead. The Washington iifdict
ment was returned. Now about the
best turn Attorney General Sargent
can do his predecessor is to demon
strate in court that the present Su
preme Justice Stone had mighty good
reasons for believing Senator Wheeler
hud done something to be indicted for.
It won't look well for Justico Stone
to have It appear that Wheeler was
indicted on flimsy grounds. The jus
tice is a very able lawyer, with a high
reputation for honesty. He convinced
the senate that he knew what he was
fihoul end got his supreme court con
firmation. It's fair to assume that it
wub all right But If those Wheeler
charges prove to be weak, the situa
tion will be far pleasanter for the
senator than for Justice Stone.

Senator Wheeler's latest little girl

It ban often been said that no man
looks like Will Rogers, but Wiil
Scheffler, of Brooklyn, Is & double
for him. Scheffler has a lot of fun
by occasionally standing in front of
the theater, about the time the Follies
show closes. Those who have just seen
the show believe he is .Rogers and
shake hands with him and congratu
late him on the performance he has
just given.
You may appreciate tho glamor f
Broadway that attracts girhi from all
over the country when you consider
the parallel romances of Fannie Brice
and Lenore Uiric.
Miss Ulric has just terminated her
connection with David Betoscu. To
appear under his banner is the ambi
tion of almost every player of the
stage. Her career In the drama be
ban when she was discovered dancing
to a hurdy-gurdy in Milwaukee. Fan
nie Brice has just been engaged by
Betasco. She was "discovered" while
selling newspapers on the streets oi
Brooklyn.
Probably no actress of the day ha
bad a varied a career as Fannie Brice.
Her .first appearance was at an ama
teur night performance in a Brooklyn
variety house. Because she was well
received she was paid 25 cents. Later
she went with a road company play
ing melodrama and when it failed eh
went into burlesque. From that she
graduated to vaudeville and reviews.
Her Toles have been always comic,
but the note of pathos has ever been
evident in the background. It is Ibis

comedy which mokes Chaplain's art

be on increasing tribute. It may
appear anomalous to coll folks bar
barians who quite universally read
and write and are capable to a degree
approaching genius in business organ
ization, who have auch a variety of
ways of amusing themselves and who
nre so extremely busy doing so many
things. Vet in a discussion group
which was considering the working
philisophy of western civiliiation the
other eveuiug a brilliant scholar whose
buttinees it is to teach in the univer
sity, tersely summed wp the prevail
ing muss of modern men, as barbar
ians. X imagine he would make some
qualifications of his statement if he
were to expand his thought into a lec
ture for it has the usual defects of
over emphasis belonging to all state-
pnentt which are reduced to the brev
ity of epigrams. But on taking
thought, 1 discern where he Is prob
ably considerably more than half
right.
In the first plare, it ia not what we
do an much aa what we think that is
of first importance. Uncivilised man,
it is true, only progressed aa fas as
he began to find new toola and make
neiy practical discoveries. Still it was
by Hiking thought about the using of
them that be groped his way forward.
Kpoch by epoch man hae improved
his tools and added to bis atore of
facta which make for more comfort
able existence. Vet in the final analy
ti it Is what men are because of
their thinking, their philosophy of life
which measures their real advance.
The Greek is a far nobler historical
type than the lioman although the Ho
man made a great success in doing
thing. The Roman became more or
less the victim of his practical gifts.
He improved the methods of warfare
and first began to use money in a
wide way and made some very good
laws and sent governors all over the
known world, who in their day did
what the Briton has done in ours in
spreading a great imperialism. Yet his
success was in merely doing things
with an admirable practicality rather
than In thinking things out. lie was
so busy about the business of run
ning the known world that he lost
all understanding of why he was do
ing what he was doing. Bo aa an Ms-
toricai sample of humanity the Boman
was little improvement over the bar
baric German tribiea over which he
lorded it for some centuries. These
very tribes in the long run learned
not only to make war more efficient
ly and to organize society more effect
ively than the Bomans, but thought
out the why of it all is a more aa tie-
factory way and by changing' and
adapting a semi-oriental Christianity
to the modes of their thought arrived
at a philosophy of life which gave
them a sense of direction,
Now our modern man seems drift
ing toward a semi -barbarism is no
small degree similar to that of th
It oman. We are all jazzed up doing
so many things in a feverish way that
we apyear to be growing more and
more incapaoie thinking things out.
The one qebuloua shred of philisophy
we seem 40 cling to la that if we
spend our days in hectic activity we
are living successfully and that some
how we are ahieving something or
othei for ourselves and oar children
because we have speeded up the doing
of things with our automobiles, our
filing machines, our radio, and all tht
rest. ,Ve have the most wonderful
motfs of new facts brought to ua by
our scientific thinkers and the gift
of tools which endow us with a new
magical efficiency. But what of our
thinking?
The theological aspects of our old
philosophy is pretty much shot to
pieces by the scientific thinking of the
last two hundred years. But the
average man finds it easier to give
a riale and formal allegiance to the
old dogmatisms instead of attempt
ing to think his way through to a new
philosophy. He just loses himself in
busy-ness with his innumerable en
gagements and superfluity of organi
zations. He reads only what can be
read -m the run, wastes his evening
listening to radio programs which
literally go in one ear and out the
other or in grazing at the bastard art
of the moving picture theater. He is
too busy to thiuk.
The difference between a man and
a monkey lies in the limited capacity
of our ancestral type to think con
nectedly. The monkey swings in a tree
and throws cocoanuts at his fellows
and chatters endlessly. He is busy,
just as busy as one of our tired busi
ness men. But his busy-ness does not
save him from being a monkey. Like
wise our barbarian forefathers were
busy in doing things but that did not
advance them. They advanced aa their
intellectual powers grew, that is to
say by their thinking. So with mod
ern nion, his only protection from a
relapse into barbarism lies in his
thinking ability. Western civilization
needs nothing quite so much as a
working philosophy.

The 15c Skyscraper
"Nothing over 15c" said tha sign at Woolworth'a. Yet tn
policy behind this Blgn brought the money that built U
largest building In the world. Each sale was small Yet a
cumulated with otherB, what a tremendous power they becaia.
Why not apply this principle to yourself? If yon earn W
a Utile you could lay aside but a mite at a time. But
the vision of a nickle and a dime enlarged Into the Woolwortt
BuiWing you can see why It i profitable to save that mil.
Let us help you maintain such a program. A dolls in
roll you as a saver; persistency will make that dollw fro
to many.
