REX MM-PiMAN, iitnoi'ul poet, viv.acious JjumorifJt and
gentle anarehmt, Juik d'ouiul tui ameng: his multi
larious dutjos as a meinberol' Uie Portland Jounial's rcp
ertoi'lal staff to publish a book, entitled. "The Onee Over,"
comprising a collection of hLs -whinisical daily contribu
tions to the Journal, printed under tho same caption,
which have added so much to that newspaper's attrac
tiveness. "The Once Over," although like the dictionary, some
what disconnected, a feature perhaps that adds to its
charm, has only dashes for punctuation and looks in print
like the old ,,onclung'" automobile used to sound when
climbing a hill, but is all the more entertaining on this ac
count. Hex Lampman may properly bo called a product of the
Koguc IHver valley, as he spent some five years here as
nubliSher of thn Gold J I ill News, winnino" a Ktninwirin fninn !
j. . ,. 7 j. , .. .
through his delightful verses and a brief and not as envi
able glory as a muek-rakt'r. As a reporter on the Oregon
inn ho originated "Tho Crawfish," a humorous,- onee-a-week
feature. Hut the sordid, .smutr stand-patness of the
Oregoniau jarred Jfcx dreamy, progressive soul and he
joined the journal family to mutual profit.
Hex Lampman was succeeded at Gold Ilill by his
brother, Ben, gifted as a writer, with poetical talents, sur
passing those of Hex. Given leisure and opportunity', in
stead of being forced to consume his best energies with his
nose at the grindstone in the tlmnkkT4fjrlc of publishing a
country newspaper to eke out an existence, Ben's fame
would be nation-wide. Country towns and country news
papers have produced many a literary genius, and among
them we hope some day will be listed the Lampman blath
ers Hex and Ben.
But to get back to the "Once-Over." t sells for fifty
cents cash or one dollar credit, and is well worth the price.
Genius needs encouragement, and the people of the Hogue
Hiver valley should delight in patronizing a home product.

T 01 IN SK10LTON WILLIAMS, comptroller of the eur
J rency and muinber of the federal reserve bank board,
has virtually put his head in the Jion's mouth.
A few months ago the comptroller gave out a list of
banks thtt wore lending money at usurious rates, charging
from ten to one thousand per cent. Immediatelv a demand
came from the banks for his removal from office. Next
we heard a bill would be introduced in congress to abolish
the comptroller's office.
Now, in the face of these threats from the money lords,
he has the. temerity to call on the banks for a list of their
loans "upon which interest was charged or collected,
either in the shape of interest, discount or commission, at
rates which would amount to more than tho equivalent of
six per cent per annum." And then he goes further and
cautions our financial overseen to bo veiy, very careful
in making the statement. Jle also ns.ks banks 'to state
whether it is their custom to require borrowers to carry'
deposits when loans are granted. '
The I'uvy this will arouse is beyond present compre
hension, but in a week wo will hear the roar. But this
time it will not come from the big banks of the great cities,
and by their direction, but from the usurers and pawnbro
ker bankers of small towns.
Banks are necessary and useful institutions, and com
munity upbuildors, and those legitimately conducted will
have no objection in complying with the comptroller's or
derbut rather be glad of exposing those whose usurious
practices reflect discredit upon all banks.
Many bankers of the latter typo, paying big dividends
upon small capital and accumulating big surpluses bv
usury, tint tor themselves that they are financial giants,
when in truth they are financial leeches, sucking the life
out tu tiicir localities.
Mr. AVilliams proposes calling tho usiu-ers to account.
Back of it all is the greater movement for rural credits
for the emancipation of rural communities from their grip.
Good luck to Mr. Williams.
