The truly: fearlest, person is never foolhardy; Init has no more fear of what others may think than what, with proper preeantioim and the takinu of no unreasonable ehanees, may happen. Sneh a situation brings one back to one of the truest bits of wisdom ever uttered. "To Thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the ninht tile day, thou ean'st not then be fulse to any man." Under the eireumstanees it may sound like too harsh a jmlur ment, yet jud)nient, to be sound, must be heartless. And in this tragedy, one can't deny' that Mrs. Keith-Miller's I'alal error was laekiiif; the mortal eourae to be true to herself. TV) A elose friend Mrs. Keith-Miller admitted she was "scared to death." Hut to the world nho refused to admit it. So in her "rickety old crate" she hopped off into the storm scared to death which meant that the steady nerve and clear head, sneh a flight demanded, were lack in x'. Afraid of heinj; afraid, she met the fate sine feared above all else. Had she possessed the courage, she wished the world to believe she had, she would have HAD the courage to post pone the flight and snap her finders at what the world miaht THINK. SINCLAIR llIC eun't 111,'ree with !r. Henry Van Dyke, that the award " of the N'obd i'rize to Sinclair Lewis was an insult to America. ; Dr. Van Dyke dismisses Lewis nS a cynical scoffer, with no understanding of the true American iL'haraoler and spirit. A little severe doctor, and to our mind, not true. The Nobel I'rize in literature is not awarded on ethical lines, hut solelv on tfe basis of literary merit.'with particular emphasis upon the permanence and originality of the 1 constribution. Sinclair Lewis was, and is, a scoffer, lint so was Voltaire, and Hutler; Nietsehe and Bernard Shaw. The point is that Lewis, from a literary standpoint was the first American scoffer, the first writer; who refused to follow the traditional American met hod, and launched out for himself, to flinit a few darts into the hide of American self satisfaction and eompla- IN ".Main Street," in "Babbitt" he not only contributed two new terms to the Knfrlish laiifrmiifc; he created two new concepts of the American character. To claim he did not under stand the American spirit, seems to us far from the truth. He did and does uiidersland it. The only indictment that can be justly brought against him, is that he over-emphasized one phase of it. Mut that is the accepted .met hod of the satirist, and is the secret of his power. JN our opinion when the literary history of the past two dec- tides Is written, Sinclair Lewis, with all his faults, will stand out head anil shoulders above all bis American fonlrmporarics. Kor he plowed in viiyin soil, he had the native eourasrc and originality, to f.duirt a new course, and that is what brintisi lastiuo; fame in literature, as in other activities in life. In the pitiless perspective of time, only the real creative artists, the originators of soincthiiiji NKW endure; all the others are eventually forgotten, merely as successful, or unsuc cessful imitators.

Press Comment Howies Case In the New A reader takes The Oregonlan to task because of prominence given in Its columns to the Howies tragedy. The implication of the letters Is that only a bare o'ttliiie ..r ,,,.tn,.l..,.l l.ii-alnmiiniilB would have heen sufficient. Noth- ing is Bald about, the emphasis put upon the snmn ease in other pub' lientions, which is an attitude, that this newspaper has conn to ex pect, ITeon use The Oregon ia ill, ns a consistent policy, does not play up cvimo and scandal simply for the sake of flcnsntiomiltmn. It be comes a shining mark for criticism when exceptional events hrlnR. this class of news conspicuously into Its daily chronicles. No other ex plana tion of the largo amount of space devoted to the death of Mrs. Howies and the 'attendant circumstances would seem to bo necessary than to say that The Oregonlan K first of all. a newspaper. News !.-! n portrayal of events with due eonsiderntlon of their Importance. It is a respon sibility of the public press tu make lis report each day a true picture. ' ll CH villi -.1 l j which has happened, A newspaper I that would cover its eyes and its ears to all that Is unpleasant and i unfortunate, to murder, suicide j and moral delinquencies, would i full in Its duty to its renders. A i newspaper cannot create the eon- t dltlons that it depicts, much as tt sometimes regrets them. It can ; only hold up the mirror. j The Howies case hns been fen- , tured by The Oregtiniim because It i Is news of first Importance. The prominence of the people involved, the mystery as to what actually happened, the departure from 1 Kal requirement! aa to the report- j ing oi violent deaths and other j ractors combined to make It a story of compelling interest; and ' not only of Interest but of concern to the community. The public wanted to know whiit had oc curred in whatever detnll the facts were available. ! The light of publlelty leads to ward.. Justice, not invny fmm it. Certainly the ruicide or murder of Mis. Howler points a moral in no uncertain way. The prrdlcn ment of those whose conduct drove her to death, even thouuh they , may not have taken her life, ear- i rics Its own warning.
