r.oiTi-NjmiiiliMit. w)u) must know what lie'is talking about, declares
in a recent Leslie's Weekly, that every J'rcsiilcnt since Grant has left
the "White House richer than lie went in.
Cleveland went to Washington a poor man, he retired to private
!ife with a competence. Jtenjamin Harrison spent only half his sal
ary. MeKinley went to the White House heavily in debt, in five
years lie had paid off his debts and .Mrs. MeKinley was left well pro
vided for. lioosevclt marie money as 1'resident. He went to Wash
ington worth about rlio.OCO. he left an estate valued at a million dol
lars. Tall was in debt when he became President.. After four years
he was out of debt, and had a decent income. JJvfore he became
president Woodiow Wilson applied to the Carnegie, fund for a pen
sion. Early this year he paid 1.10.000 cash for a residence in Wash
ington. President Wilson, according to Mr. Parry saved $".200,000 in
ids eight years at the White House.
All of which is cheering news. For not a President made money
by capitalizing his office, by speculation, or by the slightest infringe
ment of the most punctilious propriety. The money was made from
the prci-idcntial salary, increased from 50,000 to $"5,000 a year, by
the simple process of spending less than was earned.
For contrary to popular belief, tlyj' financial demands upon the
1 'resident are not excessive. He receives a mansion, with a rent value
of $00,0(10 a year, free of charge. There are no taxes, not even a water
assessment. Kven the telephone and electric light bills arc paid by
i'nclc Sam.
Put think of the servants, also observe them: The major domo at

In short Mr. Parry shows that the President wilh a salary of $75.
000 a year, ami wilh 125,000 a year travelling expenses, with medical
i.ltciitioii free, free flowers, free music, free gas, enjoys perquisites
of his office totalling the respectable sum of 200,000 a year.
This is a side of I he presidential picture which has been too long
slighted. Wl one considers what President Wilson has back of him
Mid President, Harding has before him, no one will begrudge the rift
of silver lining, thus revealed. It is justly deserved, and every t
is earned. Put the impression that the President has nothing but grief
and woe, nothing but sacrifice! and suffering, can now be discarded.

THE QUIET ONES.
SO.MF. people ipiietly proceed, and take no part in fuss or broil;
I hey do their stunts with grace and speed, and m'ake no
racket as they toil, fieliring gents, they are not sharks for any
pomp or circumstance; they do not rise to make remarks when
ever I hey see half a elimiee. They do not ask us for our voles
and argue in the busy marls; and if perchance they lose their
goals they bear their sorrow in their hearts. And in this world
of endless noise, where human flivvers rant and roar, we learn
to love the quiet boys who smoothly do the useful chore. They
jog along their even groove, ami draw good pay and earn it all;
and read chaste volumes to improve their minds when evening
shadows fall. They'll be on time, as sure as fate, on time for
work when morning comes; they'll hiive no stories to relate of
high adventures in the .slums. All through the years they work,
serene, these quiet, self-effacing lads; and this old world is worse,
I ween, when I hey are gathered to their dads. Oh, these be times
of bhtlanl sound, of strident 1 si and loud harangue; the men
who make the wheels go round are not tho fiz.-nud-fireworks

Thirteen has no terrors for Vernon
Hill Vawter. This banker was born on
the 13th, went to school in bis home
town for thirteen years, graduated
with exactly thirteen honors in the
clas or 191:1, his barety deposit is No.
13 and whenever the University or
Oregon's eleven battles on the 13th or
the month, Vawter bets his head off
and pometimes wins!
Vernon is cashier or the Jackson
County batik at Medford. member ot
almost every civic-organization and
committee in bis city and a regent of'
the University ot Oregon. He is like
wise a married man.
This busy man's rather was also a
native or the Heaver state. The sen
ior Vawter was born In Brownsville
in 1854 and It was In 1888 that he wan
dered into the village of Medford and
decided the people there needed a first
class hank. So Mr. Vawter started
one and it has been flourishing ever
since.
Medford Small Then
Sonic 4U0 people of various ages and
appetites were living In tho town that
took tho railroad from- Jacksonville
when the banker decided to stay. Into
the business life of the little place the
native or llrownsville threw all his
energy and ambition. Medford grew
and the founder of the Jackson County
bank had a great deal to do with mak
ing this growth permanent. After the
money institution got merrily on Its
way, the founder decided to do some
thing for Jackson county in a political
way.
He served three terms in the house
or representatives and for a time was
chairman ot the ways and means
committee. Once it looked very much
as If the Medford man were going to
lie siieaker of tho house, but Frank
Davey got two or three votes more
than Mr. Vawter, so the high chair
went to the central Oregon stateman.
. Vern a Busy Boy
The hanker-representative died In
February, 1H1B, still a young man, as
tho ages of business men run. He did
much for the betterment of both
.Medford and Jackson county. As long
as men and women of this generation
live, his name will be remembered and
honored.
The son took over'his father's work
In tho bank. And he works hard, does
thlB young man of tho Rogue river
plains. When he hasn't anything else
to do he is busy with the affairs of the
Crater Lake National Park company,
being one ot the leading spirits In the
reorganized resort, If not Crnter tak
ing, Vern will bo busy with the Med
ford Chamber of Commerce, with Red
Cross work or with the University of
Oregon's business.
Native of Medford
Vernon Hill Vawter was born in
Medford. November 13 .1890. Nearly
all of his boyhood months were sient
in sunny Jackson county. He often
took his trusty bicycle and rode to
Jacksonville to look about the streets
for golden nuggets. Finding none, he
would ride on to old "Gassvllle" tn
search of other conquests. Making
none, the Vawter boy would wheel on
to Ashland.
He attended the grammar school at
Medford, the one now known as Wash
ington school. In Vern's boyhood it
was Just a plain public school, but the
teachers were not plain at all. This
statement can be proven by many of
Medford's prominent citizens.
Enjoyed Queer Studies
In 1909 the boy completed the gram
mar grades ajid went to study basket
ball, football and baseball at the Med
ford high. He made good grades at
first base and at left half, but once
failed to make the algebra grade.
But what's a little thing like higher j
education wnen a lenow can muse u
triple play unassisted!
After learning all he could about
outdoor sports and "post office."
young Vawter entered the university
at Eugene. There he really had to
study a trifle. He majored in econom
ics, as jazzing was not invented.
Still, those dear old college days had
their sins Vawter sang in the glee
club and acted in the university dra
matic company. Bass he sang, and
once he was villain in "Dombey and
Son," and later was handsome hero In
the great college comedy, "Strenuous
Life." ' '
Now a Real Regent i.
In spite or this, Governor Olcott ap
pointed him a member or the board of
university regents. Vawter is the
youngest motuber of the board.' !'
For six years he has been treasurer
or Medford Klks' lodge, has been a
member of the library board tho same
number of years he bass-ed in the glee
club (four), is past president of the
chamber of commerce nnd was recent
ly raised to the sublime degree of
Master Mason. He Is "simply crazy"
about fishing In the Rogue river; says
the largest steelhead he ever caught
weighed -27V4 pounds.
There ts one thing that Vernon Hill
Vawter doesn't like to do, and that is
to watch for the little birdie to hop
out of the photographer's big box. He
hasn't had his picture taken for years
not since he first proposed nnd sent
one like that used to illustrate this
story to the sweet girl of his dreams.
The outcome of a perfect college
romance was Mr. Vawter's marriage
to Miss Aletha Emorlck, . of Boise,
Idaho. Portland Telegram.

Shakespeare More' Vulgar Than Charlie
; Chaplin, Says British High Brow
Where the Fight Money Goes
The burden or taxes in this day Is
well Illustrated by a government esti
mate of what will happen to the pro
coeds of the Denipsqy-Carpentier fight
on July 2 .,),,; ., ;
Tho country gasped when the tre
mendous amounts to be received by
the principals was publicly an
nounced. The $300,000 that Detnpsey
Is to receive nnd the $200,000 that
Carpentier's contract calls for were
heralded as revolutionary sums, as the
height of extravagance. The world
was astounded, almost disgusted.
Hut the announcement that tbo gov
ernment of the United States will re
ceive more from the affair than either
principal, tho promoter, or all com
bined, will undoubtedly serve as just
cause for, another awakening. The
Internal revenue bureau announces
that of the $:ioo.ono' that Dompsey 're
coi'ves. Sltil.OtiO will go to tho govern
ment' in income taxes. Of Carpentier's I nal
$200,000, after exemptions . aro made'
on account of his wife and child, $93,
000 will go to the government, making
$254,000 that tho government will pro
perly obtain from tho encounter
against the $210,000 to be collected by
tho principals. In addition, the gov
ernment will demand a heavy share of
the promoter's profits In income and
amusement taxes, to say nothing of
the levy of the state of New Jersey
against revenues.
Those are days when Imaginations
are taxed to comprehend events. In
ventions, evolutions and actions con
tinually outdo what has - been done
before. It will, however, require no
great stretch ot tho' Imagination to
picture the day a few years henco
when peoplo will become tho serfs of
government Instead, of governments
serving the people,, if the inarclvof the
lax collector goes on. Portland Jour
