John Golden, who is a swell fel
low as well as a smart one, told me
that when he was In Chicago pro
ducing "Turn to the Right" one of
the theatre attendants came to him
and said a visitor wanted to Bee
him.
"What does he want?" asked
John.
"He wants to read you a play."
John threw his hands in the ari.
He was having enough troubles
putting on one play without letting
some unknown author inflict an
other. The author returned two or three
times, but John refused to see him.
When the job in Chicago was
done, he 'boarded a train and shut
himself up in a drawing room, tired
out There came a timid knock;
the door opened, and through It
walked a young man with bushy
hair, who looked fresh from the
farm.
"Mr. Golden, my name is Mc
Avoy," he said. "You were too
busy to see me in Chicago, so I
found out what train you were tak
ing and I bought a ticket and want
to ride with you as far as Cleve
land. I want to read you my play."
John fussed and fumed, but final
ly surrendered. The young man
started to read, but John's tired
mind absorbed nothing.
After a while the young man said
"Any time you are not interested,
I'll stop."
"You can stop right now then,"
John answered.
With a pained look, the young
man put away the manuscript and
started for the platform. The train
was pulling into Gary. He stepped
off, took another train, and rode pa
tiently back to Chicago.
When the next theatrical season
opened in New York, John saw in
the papers the advertisement of a
play called "The Potters." The
author's name struck him Mc
Avoy. Could it be the same young
man who had bored him from Chi
cago to Gary?
It was the same young man. The
play ran for months. IF John had
listened to McAvoy he would have
added another hit to his list of
successes.
IF, when I was editing a maga
zine. I had taken time to glance at
a certain manuscript which came
in from an unknown writer, I
should have had the satisfaction of
publishing "The Sport of Kings,"
the story that started Arthur Som
ers Roche on the road to fame..
IF I had listened Carefully to
what the president of a certain big
company was saying to me one af
ternoon I might have made a great
many thousand dollars.
If ... if ... if ... we all have
these bothersome little words in
our record. It's folly to waste
time regretting them. The only in
telligent attitude is to say: "While
I could have done much better, still
I have had my share of good luck,
and shall not grumble. Only, in the
future, I'll try a little harder to
keep my eyes and ears open."
For it is very difficult to tell when
some wild and annoying visitor
may be trying to force fortune up
on us.
LODGE
Time always brings out the
truth. We are beginning to learn
a great many things about Henry
Cabot Lodge that we did not know
during his lifetime. The "scholar
in politics," as he loved to be called,
became a conspicuous figure when,
in 1919, he led the cabal in the Uni
ted States Senate which prevented
our ratification of the Peace Treaty
of Versailles. His personal venom
against Woodrow Wilson was ap
parent at the time. Now it turns
out from disclosures made by ex
Secretary Fall that Senator Lodge
expected that the Republican Pres
ident elected in 1920 would make
him Secretary of State, and that he
was immensely disappointed when
Mr. Harding picked Mr. Hughes for
that position.
"I have known Henry Lodge
since boyhood and I do not believe
that he ever harbored a single gen
erous impulse," said the late Presi
dent Eliot of Harvard to a friend
not long before his death.
ECONOMICS
The man or woman who has a
job and whose wages or salary has
not been reduced since the depres
sion of 1929 is better off today than
two vears aeo. In fact, a dollar
will buy more today, in almost all
of the necessaries of life and in
every one of the luxuries, than at
any time since before the war. The
one exception is rents in the big
cities.
About four-fifths of the people
who work for a living In the United
SUtes are still employed regularly
and at the same pay as before.
About ono-flfth are out of employ,
ment or on part time.
In Oklahoma a mob of uncmploy
ed raided a grocery store the other
day. In one rural county in Mas
sachusetts, where I saw the rec
ords. 99 new automobiles and 54
new trucks were bought by farm-
ers and village people during the
month of June. These economic
inequalities offer a problem which
it Is going to take more than one
session of Congress to solve.
RAILROADS
One of the biggest jobs that con
fronts the Capital is the rebuilding
and refinancing of the nation's rail
road system. Practically all the rail
roads today are in bad shape Hnan
daily.
The success of the German ex
nerlment in running an air-propell
ed railroad" car at the rate of 130
miles an hour means, to engineers,
that all railroad transportation
methods will have to be enormous
ly speeded up In the course of the
next few years.
The whole railroad situation calls
for leadership of a kind which Is
not now in evidence. If Daniel
Willard, president of the B. & O.,
were twenty years younger he
could supply it. Somewhere In the
railroad field there must be a young
man who will come to the front In
the next year or two and lead the
railroads out of the wilderness,
LATIN
A magazine In the Latin language
has just started In New York. The
purpose of its publishers is to re
viv and maintain Interest in the
study of Latin, which is the root
language from wmcn rrencn,
Snnnlsh. Italian. Roumanian, and,
to a very large extent, Eugllsh, are
Horived.
A hundred years ago Latin was
the world's International language,
The educated men of every nation
spoke Latin, so that a traveler
could find someone with whom he
could converse. Gradually French
began to supplant Latin, and in
Europe today French is the tongue
spoken by the more cultured peo
ple of all nations. In the world of
business, however, English is prob
ably more widely spoken than any
single language, and the study of
English is now compulsory in the
upper grades of the common
schools in probably three-quarters
of the nations of the world.
Nevertheless, no person has a
right to call himself an edueated
man unless he has a working
knowledge of Latin, which is still
the international lnaguage of scien
tists. CASE
Anna Case, the opera singer who
has just married Clarence Mackay,
head of the Postal Telegraph and
Commercial Cable System, has long
been known in musical circles as
perhaps the most generous of sing
ers of the first rank in her attitude
toward ambitious young musicians.
For years Miss Case has given not
only lessons in singing at her own
expense, but free board and lodging
in her large apartment in the West
Fifties to a number of young wo
men whose musical talents she
deemed worth cultivating.
Her marriage to Mr. Mackay is
the culmination of a romance of
several years standing. As he is one
of the wealthiest men in America
it is to be expected that Miss Case
will now be able to do a great deal
more for young singers even than
she has done before.
Veteran O.S.C. Educators
Honored by State Board
Rewarding the devotion of 36 and
23 years of their respecitve lives to
the service of Oregon State college
and through it to the agriculture
and industry of the state, the State
Board of Higher Education has
conferred the rank of dean emeri
tus on Dr. Arthur Burton Cordley,
dean of the school of agriculture,
and on J. A. Bexell, dean" of the
school of commerce, according to
word received at the college. The
appointments will take effect Sep
tember 1.
Both men have been deans of
their schools since their organiza
tion 23 years ago, and both have
developed them to the point where
they take a leading place among
such schools in the nation. Both
men are known throughout the
state and both have contributed in
a significant way to the industrial
and agricultural progress and pros
perity of the state. i
Dr. Cordley, according to the res
olution adopted by the board, has
made three scientific discoveries
since coming to the college in 1895,
which have alone been the means
of adding more wealth to the state
of Oregon than the total cost of the
institution to the taxpayers thru
out its history. These included his
discovery of the life history of the
codling moth under Oregon condi
tions and a successful method of
keeping the pest under control; his
discovery of the cause of apple tree
anthracnose and its control by the
means of Bordeaux mixture; and
his invention and development of
lime sulfur spray for control of ap
ple scab, a method now in universal
use.
Dean Bexell was among the first

OREGON
(JnION PACIFIC employees in Oregon were
paid $9,147,094 in salaries and wages dar
ing 1930. More than three thousand four hun
dred families, a total of 20,719 people, received
their support from Union Pacific.
Think what that means to Oregon's home
market to the development of her growing
industries to the consumption of her agricul
tural products.
The preservation of this vast home market
among Union Pacific employees is dependent
upon the continuing prosperity of the Rail
road. Every shipment made by truck weakens
the Railroad structure and affects railroad
employment.
