P ige Four
The value of history is Ihe
light it throws on the questions
of the present. A study of it
reveals that the problems of
today were the problems of yes
terday. And a great lesson
which a study of history furnish
es, is, that one secret of success
is continually to push ahead.
Speaking once with a civil war
veteran about the respective
qualities of Generals McClellan
and Grant, he remark« d that
when McClellen was in command
everything hung lire, which was
depressing. Put as soon as
Grant was put in a-» chief, it
was “get there" from the start,
and this had a most stimulating
effect.
When a man is constantly
striving to go ahead, he does
not have time to worry or ba!k
at obstacles. He meets the lat
ter and overcomes them before
he is aware of their existence.
So it will be well at the begin
ning of a new year to adopt a
progressive policy loth as a
t *v n and as individuals. T1 •
effect will be elictrifying and
beneficial and do much towards
allaying dissatisfaction and pet
ty jealousies which disturb the
peace and cramp the develop
ment of small communities. Let
“ Forward" then, be our fore
word for 1921.
Editors seem to In* in vogue as
candidates for office this year.
We have been seriously consider
ing whether we should not throw
our castor into the ring. Un
fortunately we cannot think of a
federal office for which we are
qualified. If like King George,
President Harding kept a private
chaplain on his staff, we might
try for that, but as lie is either a
hard or soft shell Baptist and we
are staunchly Episcopalian, the
combination would hardly work.
Etheridge promises to prove
that Morris was to blame for the
crash ot the bond firm, if he be
given immunity. How about
honor among thieves?
Whatever may be the opinion
of his political and jourualistic
opponents, none wijl deny the
marked ability of G. C. Chap
man. editor and publisher of the
Oregon Voter. In his especial
line of analysis and summary, he
is unique. An instance of his
skill in this respect, is the legis
lative number of the Voter which
has just been issued. It contains
a complete account of the per-
sonelle of the coming state legis
lature with biographical sketch
es of its members and other
pertinent information. During
its session, this erudite editor
will be on the job and with eagle
eye and keen discernment keep
tab on all that goes on. Noth
ing seems to escape his notice
and when the legislature passes
into history, he will give a suc
cinct account of its merits and
demerits. “Quis custodiet cus-
todes ipsos?” As concerns our
state legislators the answer is
Chapman. He is the recording
angel whom they should hold in
mind if not in the affection.
For those who are interested
in any bill, he will for $5.00 ad
vise them by mail, telephone or
telegraph of every move which
is made in connection with it,
eitner in committee or on the
ffoor of either house. And those
who wish to keep posted of the
ins and outs of the session, can
not do better than subscribe for
the Vo‘er.
