OFFICIAL TAPER FOR MORROW COUNTY
WE WILL BE CRASSHOrrERS
By Richard Lloyd Jones
Did you ever hear of Doolittle?
If some fellow had told your grandfather hen
he s t boy that in the time of his grandchildren a
man would take dinner one evening on the cool
summer veranda ovtiooking the broad Atlantic and
t ten o'clock bid his friends good night saying.
i m aimng witn menus on ine racinc v-oasi to
morrow evening. 1 must be on my way," your
grandfather would have looked upon the predictor
as either a laughable romancer or a pitiable fool.
Well Doolittle did it. And not many people
noticed it. The whole world accepted it as a little
news item of passing interest. Few even noted
the item and most of those who did as quickly for
got it.
Lieutenant James H. Doolittle. U. S. Army avia
tor, hopped off in his aeroplane from the broad At
lantic at PaHo Beach at three minutes past ten
o'clock Labor Day. At '5 :34 the next afternoon
(Pacific time), he stepped out of his sky-boat at
San Diego, Calif., on the Pacific.
Doolittle stopped an hour and seven minutes at
San Antonio, Texas, to take breakfast with his wife
and mother. In actual flying time, he flew from
sea to sea in twenty-one hours and eighteen min
utes. What would grandfather, as a boy, have thought
of that? Nothing more than a passing news item
of the hour now. We have grown accustomed to
startling events.
Some day some fellow will rise up into the heav
ens and sail all the way around the world. And
when that day comes, even that will not amaze us.
We once thought it a wonderful thing to talk by
wire across town. Now we talk by wireless across
the continent.
We once thought it was a great thing to go from
New York to Buffalo in one day. Now we go from
sea to sea in one day.
You have seen in your school histories pictures
of the little Columbus fleet, the Nina, the Pinta and
the Santa Maria, compared to the modern ocean
liner, nearly one-fifh of a mile long, accomodating
thousands of passengers in the luxury of palatian
grandeur.
You have seen pictures of the little kettle-like
locomotive, the De Witt Clinon, which was tHe mar
vel of 1831 because it acquired the amazing speed
of 15 miles an hour. You have seen the modern
engine which pulls a palatial Pullman faster than
a mile a minute. Wonderful changes, aren't they?
Well
The little air ship that Doolittle lifted above the
storm clouds and sailed by compass was but the
Santa Maria sailing an uncharted sky. A sky where
great ships will follow. It was the De Witt Clinton
piloting the path for the up-in-the-air passenger
coach that our children will some day use to meet
a business engagement or to greet a friend at din
ner a few thousand miles away.
All over the skies new lines of passenger ships
will fly. As Doolittle hopped from sea to sea, we
will hop from shore to shore.
Soon Asia is but a day away. We take breakfast
in Buenos Ayres tomorrow.
1923 FAIR TAX
A trip around the world has convinced Julius L.
Meier that Portland can spend its spare cash to bet
ter advantage than holding the 1925 fair. There
were others who did not have to travel so far. It is
a matter of congratulation that Mr. Meier toured.
What he has seen will make him a better citizen of
Portland, a more tolerant citizen. He is brilliantly
able, and can do much for his native city aside from
all he is doing for it by building up a great business
to even greater proportions. He has the sound idea
that Portland should spend its energy in coloniza
tion effort a worth while effort in which the bus
iness community should join. He also discovers
that the Frank Branch Riley lectures, in conjunc
tion with our new highway system, are productive
of heavy returns from wealthy people who tour.
To get behind the colonization effort and to sustain
adequately the Riley lectures will be worth far more
to Oregon and Portland than the 1925 fair. Let's
join with Mr. Meier in these enterprises, and for
get about the fair nightmare.
That is if George Baker will let us forget. "Damn
the torpedoes," says George, imagining that we are
at war with something or somebody. "Damn the
taxpayers" would better reflect his habit of mind.
But we are not at war, George; not yet, although
there is no telling but what we will be involved in
this Turkish mess long before 1925. So as yet there
is no occasion for "damning" either torpedoes or
taxpayers. We may need them both. And George
encourages us to expect and hope that with election
day he is through, so far as the 1925 fair is con
cerned. Let's forget the fair and get down to real
business. Oregon Voter.
wagon and the like. The answer, of course, is that
if all milk wagon drivers were college men milk
would be delivered more orderly and even our ba
byhood would be helped.
The greatness of the college does not lie in its
being the gangway down which one may walk to the
pivressians. its wonn is in giving to the country
men who can thorouehlv perform the dutv of the
hour.
The college is not the panacea for empty skulls.
The best it can do is to equip the man who has
something under his hat.
Fire Prevention Week is October 2 to 9. Life
and properly can be saved by prevention of fires.
Statistics show thai in 1921 fire cost more than 15,
000 lives and $485,000,000 in property. Clean
your premises, remove rubbish, correct your fire
hazards and cultivate carefulness. Most fires are
preventable.
OUR COLLEGIATE ICEMEN
American colleges prepared for the greatest year
in their history. In almost every state of the union
the enrollment figures show marked advances and
records broken.
Yale, Princeton, Wellesley, Union, Pennsylvania,
Vassar and Dartmouth reached the pinnacle of
their prosperity. It is also true of many western
collepi'S.
Fact is that this prosperity for colleges is due
largely to the change in the viewpoint of our educa
tional institutions. Many cobwebs have been swept
way.
Today the college means more than the accepted
understanding of academic teaching. It means a
bro3er vision of life and a greater understanding
of the necessity of the thing worth while.
The college man of today is to be found every
where, lie is at the head of a great banking insti
tution, he is a chauffeur, he drives an ice wagon, he
tills the soil, he appears in literature and ornaments
the plumbing establishment. -

THE POINT OF VIEW
Pessimists find cause for gloom in the present
status of the rail strike, the coal strike, the tariff
national problems which affect Oregon directly or
indirectly. But an analysis of the pessimist's gloom
reveals the dark clouds mostly in the future bug
aboos that are terrifying only in anticipation.
It is true that the rail srike is being felt in car
shortages and curtailed service, but as a matter of
fact it is still far from a national calamity. Some
lines of production have been hard hit, notably pro
ducers of perishable fruit, but the pinch is localized
at most.
It is equally true that the coal srike is being felt
in some industrial lines, particularly in the east, but
there are still enormous stocks of coal on hand.
Every day, furthermore, brings the end of the coal
strike nearer, either through the force of public op
inion or through direct federal intervention.
And as for the prospect of a highly-protective
tariff, it is a debatable matter as to whether or not
this constitutes reasonable grounds for alarm and
probably will continue to be debatable as long as
party lines exist in the political world.
By contrast with the pessimist, the opimist forms
his pnclusions only from the acutal facts of the
present. He looks to the future but refuses to
worry about it.
Here in Oregon the optimist finds much to his
liking. In the lumber production field he finds that
eighty to ninety per cent of the mills are busy; new
facilities are being added to existing plants in Bend
and Toledo; new mills are being built throughout
the state, notably in Columbia County at Vernonia ;
enormous tracts of virgin timber are being exploit
ed, for example, government-owned timber in Har
ney and Grant counties and enormous bodies of
spruce and fir in Lincoln and Clatsop counties.
As an index to general prosperity the optimist
finds building operations throughout the state in
creasing rather than diminishing. Railroads are
planning and carrying out extensive development
work; new factories are being built and present
plants are being enlarged; the housebuilding pro
gram is going forward with increased vigor in all
population centers of the state.
The optimist could add to the list indefinitely
quoting specific facts that cannot be disputed. 'Op
posed to these facts, the pessimist is forced to deal
in vague generalities. From a molehill of fact he
builds a mountain of gloom.
It all depends upon the point of view; granting
this, we prefer the optimist. Oregon Journal of
Commerce.

ALAS THE ANGLE WORM
And now we have a device by which the angle
worm is hunted in his lair, brought to the surface to
be devoured for the sustenance of the great Ameri
can hen. Peter J. O'Keefe, of Greenwich, Connec
ticut, is the inventor.
. The device is an electrical one : literally shocks
the worms out of the ground. It consists of two
brass rods that are pushed into the earth several
feet apart. A wire is attached to each rod and each
wire connects with an ordinary telephone magneto.
By twisting the handle of the magneto the angle
worm feels it is time to take the air. Rapidly he
moves to escape, but, alas! the chicken is waiting,
and as soon as the worm imagines he is safe from
danger his troubles come to an end.
Thus does the world move on. If the mentality
of the angle-worm were properly developed, he
would sense the greater danger of leaving his nat
ural environment.
As time goes on and the standard of angle worm
intelligence advances, things may improve for him;
but in the meantime, he will have to look for tempo
rary protection to the: American Society for the Pre
vention of Cruelty to Angleworms, an organization
which undoubtedly will come into being as soon as
the cruelty oT the O'Keefe device is conceived.
Surely such an opportunity for a new protective
and paternalistic society cannot be missed.
The Pendleton Round-Up was as usual the big
drawing card of all similar events of the season,
and Saturday a crowd estimated at 35,000 filled the
big grand stand and bleachers to capacity. The
show was, if possible, better than former years, and
the vast crowds had little or no complaint tq make
regarding the treament accorded them by the Pen-dletonians.
The rain came just at the right time and the dust
is well settled. This should mean that the little old
town will be filled to overflowing for the events of
the last three days of this week.
