MUST HISTORY REPEAT
ITSELF
CO FAR. man has not proved suf-
--'flciently wise to be able to gain
say the old adage, "History repeats
itself."
In the wake of every great war
since a record has been kept of
man's activity on earth, there has
come a period of business stagna
tion featured by a lowering of
standards in all lines of human en.
deavor. During these periods few
works of literature or art of last
ing quality have been produced, and
few advancements made in the
pure sciences. Classic of all such
periods in history, when man's ac
complishments were at the lowest
ebb at any time since the begin
nings of civilization, is the Dark
Ages, following in the wake of the
invasions of King Attilus and his
Huns and the downfall of the Ro
man Empire. History is so void
of record of any progress in human
endeavor during this period that
the ensuing era has been termed
the Rennaissance, or revival of
learning.
Space does not permit of a dis
cussion of all the contributing fac
tors which brought about these
past periods, had the writer the
knowledge. But it is the generally
accepted belief that a repetition of
them with lesser force, due to accu
mulated lessons of civilization, has
taken place when contributing fac
tors were similar.
-Since the founding of the Uni
ted States of America, and the pro
tecting of all rights of the individ
ual under their constitution, there
has undoubtedly been experienced
one of the greatest revivals of lear
ning in history, upset at times by
conflict, it is true, but the history
of this period reveals a general in
cline in the products of man's
mind. This age has witnessed the
perfection of many machines, Ful
ton's steamship, McCormick's reap
er, Bell's telephone, Edison's elec
tric light, Wrights' airplane and a
thousand and one others which
have marked this the machine age.
America has been the seat of a
preponderance of this advancement
with other countries contributing
because of" enforced competition.
At least this seems true up to the
time of the World War, as an ef
fect of which we are now exper
iencing a depression the magnitude
and results of which will not be
known for some time.
There are signs which might lead
one to believe we are entering a
second dark age. Dictatorships in
government are on the increase,
and state socialism spreading ever
wider and wider. A condition is
rapidly approaching right here in

JESUS DIES ON THE CKOSS
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D.
On this Palm Sunday we note in
the lesson study for the day the re
action to the "Hail!" of the crowds
. which accompanied Him from
Bethany to Jerusalem. The friend
that counts is the one that holds
steady with us in the time of ad
versity. Even the disciples failed
Jesus in the early morning hours
which followed His arrest in the
Garden of Gethsemane. Read the
complete accounts in all four gos
pels to assemble the record of that
day of supreme tragedy in the
world's history. There were two
series of illegal trials, each of which
had three sittings. Finally Pilate
pronounced the sentence of death
and the greatest friend that man
ever had was lead away for the
most ignominious killing on the
cross.
Numerous direct prophecies were
fulfilled in the related events. Two
thieves were associated with Him
In the agonies of those hours on the
cross. Pilate was nearer truth than
he realized when in irony he wrote
the inscription that was carried in
advance of the procession and later
nailed at the top of the cross. Je
bus of Nazareth was indeed the
King of the Jews, as well as King
of kings and Lord of lords. The
writer has walked along the Via
Doloroso in Jerusalem and noted
the various inscriptions which
mark the traditional stations en
route to the cross.
Search out the seven statements
that Jesus made from the cross and
seek to get their full import Some
of them have great teaching value
for us today. Note how lovingly
Jesus makes provision for the com
fort of Mary His mother as He
places her in the care of John.
When "It is finished" is pro
nounced the sacrifice was com
pleted whereby all sinners can find
salvation, "Christ died for our sing
according to the scriptures," de
clare, the Golden Text I Cor. 15 3
Oregon where the people will labor
to serve the state Instead of the
state laboring to serve the people,
with the dictates of one man hold
ing their destiny.
Such is the direction in which
the state's ship is headed under the
policy of unification. Unification
means centralization of control
tending more and more toward the
hands of the governor.
Governor Meier may prove a
"benevolent monarch." We are not
condemning him. The danger lies
in the system, under which it is
possible for a half dozen people,
few if any of whom have obtained
the Ph.D. no lesser credential
should be considered from one at
tempting such a task to kick over
our present higher educational sys
tem on a plea of enforced economy.
The plan has been termed a "No
ble Experiment." That which is
noble can have for its only purpose
the attainment of higher ideals.
This plan contemplates only secur
ing somewhere near satisfactory
results by attempted mass educa
tion for the purpose of glorifying
the almighty dollar. The only ex
cuse that has been offered is econ
omy; the only fault that has been
found is extravagance not of
brains but of dollars. Dr. Hall is
not criticized because of his edu
cational policies, but he is executed
because, in bringing Into the state
several times the amount of his sal
ary each year through out-of-state
endowments, he failed to secure
from that source all that is requir
ed to educate the boys and girls at
our university.
Our institutions of higher educa
tion are the backbone and stamina
of human progress within the bor
ders of our state. Our state col
lege and university have been
brought into the front ranks of the
colleges and universities of the na
tion under their present leadership,
under men who have labored and
sacrificed for Ideals, not dollars. Is
it logical to believe that any one
man can be found anywhere who is
capable of taking the place of both?
We doubt that even though the
state board of higher education
could secure the services of Nich
olas Murray Butler, the dean of ed
ucators, that he could instill such
a system with the personal mag
netism necessary to obtain the de
sired results.
Shall man ever obtain wisdom' to
gainsay that history repeats itself?
CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.
Autocaster Service.
THE most frequent comment we
hear about the kidnapping of the
Lindbergh baby is that "hanging is
too good" for the perpetrators of
this heartless, brutal crime.
We are inclined to agree, not only
in this instance but in general, that
our present methods of punishment
for crime are "too good" for the
criminals. We have tried being
tender-hearted with criminals for
a good many years( in most parts
of the country. The net result is
an enormouse increase in crime,
over-crowded prisons conducted at
heavy cost to the taxpayers, and
the belief of every "smart" crook
that he can "beat the rap" if he
only gets a lawyer smart enough
and crooked enough to find the
loopholes in the law. We have car
ried to the limit of absurdity the
principle that it is better for a
thousand men to escape punish
ment than for one innocent man
to be convicted.
Certain facts seem to us incon
trovertible. One is that the death
penalty is no deterrent of murder
where it is not promptly and cer
tainly enforced. Another is that
imprisonment does not reform
criminals nor the fear of it frighten
them. Other methods of punish
ment, other means of preventing
crime, must be discovered and ap
plied.
Let sociologists deal with the
causes of crime, the influences that
make criminals out of boys. But
let us all take a practical, common
sense view of the punishment for
crime. At all costs let us back up
our law-enforcement agencies, let
us clear the statute books of the
laws which protect the criminal
let us speed up our criminal trials
and place men on the bench who
will show no mercy to those who
deserve none, and then let us con
sider whether the old-fashioned
whipping-post, the stocks and the
pillory, which held the convicted
criminal up to public disgrace and
shame, may not be as effective de
terrents of crime as the gallows,
the electric chair or the peniten
tiary. The outstanding characteristic of
the modern criminal gangster is
his vanity. Destroy that and you
have destroyed his chief incentive
to crime. "Two-Gun" Crowley went
to the electric chair a hero in his
own eyes and in those of his child-
minded admirers. Gerald Chap
man, murderer, is a figure of great
ness among youthful crooks be
cause he smiled when the trap was
sprung. Would crime seem heroic,
criminals heroes, if Crowley had
been flogged In public and Chap
man exposed to public contempt in
the stocks? We think not. We
think that punishment to be ef
fective should be so shameful that
dread of their disgrace will deter
even the most hardened.
BRIGHTENING SKIES.
Autocaster Service.
A HUNDRED and fifty million
hoarded dollars have already
been put back into banks, bonds
and other places where they are
useful, Col. Frank Knox's commit
tee on hoarding reports. The pro
cession of falling banks has about
come to an end. Railroads and
other large Industries have saved
themselves from receiverships by
loans from the Keconstructlon Fin
ance Corporation. Business credit
is already easier because of the
Glass-Steigall bill amending the
Federal Reserve Act. Thousands
of factories which have been shut
down are starting up; thousands
moTe have gone back to almost
full-time production.
There is still an enormous un
satisfied demand for every kind of
manufactured commodities, wise
Hove He Hates to Pull the Trigger
men tell us. As fast as money and
credit begin to circulate freely
again people will be able to buy.
We are not all going to get rich in
a hurry, but the pessimism of a few
months ago has given place to op
timism almost everywhere, and we
believe it is safe to say that the
economic skies are getting bright
er. Early Lamb Crop Small
In All Western States
Oregon State College, Corvallis,
March 16. A smaller early lamb
crop in all the western states with
as much as a 10 per cent decrease
in California and from 3 to 5 per
cent for the country as a whole was
indicated in the special government
report on early lambs issued by the
Oregon State college extension ser
vice.
The report for Oregon says that
weather conditions all over the
state during the winter were unfa
vorable and feed was short in many
sections. Ewes in early lamb bands
were in rather poor condition and
losses of both ewes and lambs were
above average. The feed supply is
getting very short at the present
time. These same conditions pre
vailed in early lamb areas of Wash
ington and Idaho.
In the middle western and east
ern states and in Texas, the early
crop is larger than last year and
the condition of the lambs is good
to excellent.
California's 10 per cent decrease
was due largely to poor condition of
many ewes last fall because of
drought and to unfavorable weath
er and feed shortage during the
winter.
New crop lambs were offered in
Portland March 9 for the first time
this season. They sold as high as
$10 per hundredweight. The bulk
of the old crop wooled lambs sold
in Portland at $5.50 to $6 and up
during the week ending March 12,
which represents a gain of about
$1.50 since the middle of December.
The tendency toward dullness in
hog markets broke during the week
ending March 12 when light butch
ers at Portland brought a top of
$5.15 and Chicago prices advanced
to $5 a hundredweight for the first
time since mid-November. Port
land and Chicago cattle prices
changed very little during the week.
For Sale 13 head of work horses,
all well broken. Ed Buschke, lone,

DANGER OF WORRY
One of the most dangerous in
fluences seems to be abroad in these
strenuous days, and it is growing
as our cares increase. I can think
of nothing quite so harmful to hu
man well-being as WORRY.
Both worry and happiness are
states of mijid; but the latter is the
thing most sought for; men will
toil, strive, and wreck mind and
body in pursuit of that elusive
phantom Happiness. It seems par
adoxical, for a man to worry him
self insane, In his quest of bliss.
The patient that I really, down in
my heart dread to meet is the vic
tim of self-induced worry. I know
of no drug that will help him, and,
too frequently good advice slides
off him like water off a duck's back.
Some, indeed, seem to me to find a
sort of suicidal gratification in wor
ry over things that are often not
worth crying about.
The man who lies awake nights
grows thin, disagreeable, and hard
to get along with, will soon develop
a hyperacid stomach and very ag
gravating indigestion. Then he
consults the doctor. I have traced
many a case of acidosis to plain,
old-fashioned worry. It will most
certainly undermine the constitu
tion if persisted in.
"Having food and raiment be ye
tnerewitn uoimtjnt." wnat a
prescription that is! Unfailing in
results too. A contented life is a
happy life. It's wise to work while
the sun shines, for the rainy day
is quite certain to come. But there
is no sense in tearing one's system
down in a struggle for so-called
happiness, which is after all illu
sory in many cases; simple con
tentment will turn the trick quick
er and better than a cart-load of
bromide. Pardon me for writing
tnings that can be understood,

Emergency Farm Loans
Now Available in Oregon
The Oregon organization for
handling the seed loans to farmers
provided for by the federal govern
ment has been set up by Paul V,
Maris, director of extension at Ore
gon State college, who was author
ized to appoint county committees
to receive applications in Oregon.
Fifty million dollars were appro
priated under the Reconstruction
Finance corporation act to be used
in providing loans to farmers un
able to borrow money elsewhere to
carry on their ordinary crop pro
duction operations. The maximum
loan allowed is $400 to any one far
mer.
As the present fund is not re
stricted to areas where crop fail
ures occurred last year, Director
Maris was advised to appoint com
mlttees for all of Oregon's 36 coun
ties. Most of these have been
named and are ready now to assist
farmers in applying for loans. All
county agents have also been sup
plied with application blanks and
other Information and will be able
to assist farmers in obtaining loans
from this fund, working in coop
eratlon with the county commit
tees.
