It is not alone the hour of extrema
physical peril that tries men's souls.
The temptation to acquire great
wealth or achieve fame may call for
the exercise of moral courage of the
highest type. , '
An insight into the nobility of
character, 'unselfish devotion to prin
ciple and remarkable self-possession
of Warren G. Harding la gleaned
from one of the history making
"asides" of the Republican National
Convention, as yet unpublished.
The crisis came after the eighth
ballot. It was apparent that Gen
eral Wood could not be nominated
and none understood better than Gov
ernor Lowden, the impossibility of
bis own selection. The Convention
was in a tormoU Beallsatiou bad
gome for toe first time to many del-'
agates and to the gallery that north
er of the two loading candidate!
- eoald beoaunated and that .tat -ae-
. M3)a..j aV;.iMMleat'
sion sunveneu, was imminent. w
drift was to Harding, but in the ex
citement that ' prevailed, almost any
thing might happen. The Managers
of Governor Lowden and Senator
Harding, each unknown to the other,
had Induced their candidate! to come
to the Auditorium for the purpose of
consultation. In the tense moments
that followed, these two distinguished
gentlemen met just outaide the Con
vention Hall. Governor Lowden had
made a hard fight. With the nom
ination almost within his 'grasp at
one time, he now realised the hope
lessness of his position. He believed
in Harding. He oared more than all
else for the success of his party.
"Senator Harding," said the Gov
ernor, "I shall go on the Convention
floor and withdraw my .name. It
will result in your nomination."
The opportunity had come to Hard
ing for which great men have plan
ned, labored and sacrificed. The
nomination of the presidency of the
United States was offered him. But4
.i. It was not Harding's way. Placinw
his hand upon Governor Lowdojav
shoulder he said, ."Wait Governor.
Let nature take its course." It re
quired rare courage. In the excite
ment of the moment, the convention
might be stampeded to another. Bnt
Harding wanted .the nominee to be
the choice of a majority of the del
egates, It called for magnificent
self-possession. Harding was the
coolest and apparently the. most un
concerned man in the Convention.
It was a generous impulse, toe devo
tion of a life long principle of fair
play and a square deal from which
the excitement of the moment -or the
lust for ambition or power could not
swerve him. - - -:
' "Nature was allowed to take its
course" and Harding was the unan
imous choice of an uninfluenced con
vention on the 10th ballot. -
A 2800-mlI trip in a 1M7 Ford
touring car to Tia J nana, Vesica, and
return recently proved an interesting
and delightful twelve-day outing for
three Baaverton motorists and good
roads enthusiasts. The party on-
of W. E. Evans, manager of
the Otto Ericluon Co., Beaverton;
August Rossi, member of the Baa
verton city council, and Gehard Claa-
ot Baaverton, who is employed
as a mechanic at the W. L. Hughaon
company's Portland branch.
While road conditions were good
for the greater part of the distance,
some pretty rough stretches wen en
countered, but at no time did the
sturdy little Ford fail in perform
ance. No tire trouble, except the
puncture of one inner tube, waa ex
perienced during the entire trip. The
current gasoline supply of the na
tion was reduced only 175 gallons
for the 2800-mile jaunt which waa
a mighty good showing for a trip of
that kind.
"We made this trip not for the
purpose of attempting to establish
an economy record, but of seeing
how well the Ford would stand up
under a long drive," said Mr. Evans.
"We are glad to report that the car
did all we had hoped for.
"We were fortunate to have good
weather conditions all the time we
were away, Wo got back before the
rains started and consequently we
escaped what might have been some
bad mud holes. Eliminating a few
bad spots, any good driver can make
this trip without any difficulty, and
I advise anyone who can take the
Wot next summer to make till trip.

Chin Chow, weU-known
gardener of the Boevertoa section,
while returning from Portland by way
of the Canyon road Tuesday after
noon, attempted to pas the Faraat

truck caught the rear wheel of his
wagon and threw him to the ground.
The horse ran away and be pursued

"The only disagreeable feature was
to look for road sigaa to see where
we were going. Frequently we had
to turn around to look for signs. This
was particularly true in Oregon. Wo
