Twenty-Sixth Year No. 194. mm IT Comment on the Day's News MEGS 1 i JIlY BE fi By FRANK JENKINS SIR THOMAS LIPTON, a great mer chant and a famous sportsman, dies at the age of 80. It was the wealth won as a tea merchant that enabled htm to win fame as a sports man, . Love of sport kept him keen and active and full of Interest In life up to the very end. , , So sport was a fine thing for Sir Thomas. HpHOMAS A. EDISON, well past 80, even more famous than Sir Thomas Lipton has won his fame entirely by hard work, sport never having appealed to him probably because he has never bad time for It. HARD WORK kept Edison keen and active and full of interest In life up to the moment of his collapse In August. Even grave Illness has not caused him to lose Interest In what Is going on around him. So hard work has been a good thing for Edison. WERE Is the lesson to be drawn from the lives of these men: If you want to be somebody. If you want to amount to something, If you want to stay young In mind long after you grow old In years, BE IN TERESTED In something, so keenly Interested that you will welcome each new day because of the opportunity It gives you accomplish ' something more along your chosen line of Inter est. . That la about as good a recipe for success as any. T IE ART failure wasthe cause of Sir Thomas Upton's death, and If you are not Interested In statistics It may surprise you to learn that heart failure LEADS ALL OTHER causes of death. In reality, there Is nothing surpris ing about It, because when the heart, weakened by strain or overwork, ' or any other cause, ceases to beat, death MUST follow. HE Interesting thing about It la That the doctors tell us that the menace of heart failure can be re duced by right living. If you will avoid the strains tbat weaken the heart, your chance of living to a ripe old age will be greatly Increased. QENATOR JOE BENNETT, of Mult- nomah county, wants to restore prosperity In Oregon by Issuing $50, 000,000 In bonds and loaning the money at a low rate of Interest to home owners and farmers. Has he stopped to think that one thing that la troubling home owners and farmers la that they have AL READY borrowed a lot of money that now has to be paid back? 'TpHB city of Astoria tried to restore prosperity by Issuing bonds, and now, as you have read In this col umn, Astoria's public debt amounts to two-thirds of the assessed value of all her property, and the problem of PAYING OFF this debt la a grave ly troublesome one, JJACK In 1017, the people of Oregon voted to Issue bonds to build a great system of state highways, and since that time we have paid some thing like 8EVENTEEN MILLION dollars In highway and bond Interest alone, and are by no means through paying yet Remember that this $17,000,000 hasn't gone Into construction of act ual roads. It Is merely the wages of the money we borrowed, . - 11TB ARE not complaining, because " these highways have been worth their cost, but we can't help realiz ing NOW that if we had built more roads out of current revenues as we went along, and had used for actual construction the money we have spent for Interest, we might be better off financially. FOR more than a decade and a half, the world has had the Idea that the way to prosperity lies In borrow ing and borrow! ng, without much thought as to how the money bor rowed was to be paid back. This constant borrowing . cannot merely In Oregon but all over the world, la one of the reasons for the present depression. JT IS exceedingly easy to aay: "Re- store prosperity by Issuing more bonds, but In reality prosperity Is much more apt to be restored by PAYING OPT some of the bands that have already been Issued and so eas ing the burden that to the form of taxation la bearing down on business and making It harder to go ahead with new enterprises that will PRO VIDE JOBS for those who need jobs.

We flew three hours after we thought we should have been over land on the Alaskan west coast. ' "We got worried because we didn't see land and thought something bad gone wrong and tbat we were off our course," Herndon continued.
