" yet haa not resulted in a counter proposal to aave more time and more money, by the purchase of a used circus tent. A log-cabin capltol, as lu promulgator acta lorth, "would attract world attention" and. how! There are too many restaurants, the State Restaurant Owners asso ciation reports. Things seem to have reverted to the 1024 status. That was the year when beanerlea flaunt ed the slogan, In their windows: "Come in and Eat, or Well Both Starve." Another glib wisecrack ol that period set forth the restaurant owner had signed a treaty with the banks "to give no credit, as long aa the hankers would cook no meal." The esteemed Portland Journal edi torially alleges that the leaders ol the Republican psrty. "put victory before defeat." This Is a very human desire though always quite reprehen sible In an opponent. The "Send-a-Dlme. End-the-De-preselon" chain letter racket has "broadened" according to posts! au thorities. It now embraces neckties, hay. gasoline, etc., and hopes are high that shortly, a pant button mailed Wednesday will return as a new suit in time for church the following Sunday. What the country needs la more men to grab hoe-handles and less to grab billiard cuea. (Florida Times.

It's the old, old "tinny game" in rather a new and tempting form. And while the rost office authorities are being pestered to death, and devising ways and means to halt the racket, it is doubtful if they have much success. These things appear in regular cycles. They come and they go then after a lucid interval they come again. ONLY a few years ago it was fountain pens. You sold ten fountain pens to your friends, and they sold ten to their friends, and those ten times ten, sold to theire, and eventually all you had to do was to sit back in an easy chair and collect the royalties. It was sure fire on paper. The boys and girls, with nothing better to do, fell for it, from the Statue of liberty to the Golden Gate. But as far as known, the royalties somehow never came in The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow was never found. SO now it's a round robin letter, with a dime sent in, to a cer tain name and that dime and many thousand more, coming back to you when your name reaches the remunerative position at the top of the list ! .Well so it goes. Postal authorities rage, hire extra help, threaten prosecution, but it will do no good, or very LITTLE. Like any other epidemic, it will Btart and spread, reach a climax, then, just as surely decline and fall. Meanwhile a few cash in, and the majority don't even get back their dime. In another year or two, one will hear no more of dime chain letters than they hear now of selling fountain pens. But by then, say 19D8 or 1030, there will be something else for the boys and girls to waste their spare cash on ! It s the old army game. Another 5-4 THE L S. Supreme Court declares the railwi.y retirement law unconstitutional, by another five to four decision. The division between the liberals and conservatives of the court was clear cut this time. Chief Justice Hughes, joined Brandeis. Stone and Canloza in dissent; Justice Roberts delivered the tle-cii-ion, supported by Van Devanter, McReynolds, Sutherland ami Butler. Five to four! And for many years this has been the division on nearly every important decision. Determining what is consti tutional and what isn't; what is legally right and what is legally wrong; determining in short, what the destiny of this great country is to be, by such a narrow margin, presents quite an interesting problem. For obviously if five justices are right, four must be wrong; or if four arc right, five must be wrong; the change of one vote, one individual's mind om of 120 million. changes right from wrong, in short determines the future course and character of the government under which we live. fll to express it in another way, the preponderance of five four decisions ou important questions, justifies the state ment that hc Supreme Court, the most powerful governing body in the civilized world, is never more than five-ninths right ; and never less than four-ninths wrong. If this tendency continues the demand that justices of the Supreme Court be elected by the people, instead of appointed by the President will be revived, the recall of the justices by popular vote might also be included, and thus the one substiin tial pillar of the government, FREE from' politics, would be thrown INTO polities. OL'C'H an outcome would in our judgment be a calamity. Once "-' allow, the Supreme Court to become a football of partisan polities, the goal of table thumping demagogues and designing politicians, and the end of American institutions as we know them, would be only a question of time. Human nature being what it is however, a continuance of five-four decisions will, inevitably impair the prestige of the highest tribunal in t lie land, ind increase popular skepticism, as to its authority ami infallibility. So while this paper would fight to the last ditch against changing the present constitutional setup, we would also wel come fewer five to four decisions and more six to three, seven to four, and occasionally one that is unanimous.

One Important factor of premature old age. hardening of the arteries and all, which recognized medical author ities have quite failed to apprehend. Is dignity, in my opinion. Not true dignity nor honest pride nor self respect but false dignity, conceit, vanity, snobbery, arrogance, affecta tion, r The late Luther Burbank celebrat ing his 75th birthday anniversary roll ing somersaults on the lawn was not undignified. Dignity that depends on keeping your neck stiff and your map frozen, taking yourself too seriously, trying to seem Imporant, is hard on the arteries. Education, culture, good breeding, make an individual k;ep at least the outward semblance of calm under cir cumstances which are likely to upset the more primitive or unrefined. Is it not a sign of good beering In a woman to avoid all manifestation ol grief? Or In a man to avoid losing hit, temper and raining his voice and In dulging in extravagant language un opcr provoking circumstances? Or in the "big business executive" or the diplomat to avoid betraying his con tempt or hatred of his treacherous de signs BRainRt his neighbor? And in social contacts a pl?nsant smile Is in dispensable. Now all this make-believe and repression of normal Im pulses "takes It out of" anybody. Not nerve energy, for there Is no such thlntr. Nerve's merely conduct mes sages or impulses they do not wear out or become exhausted nor expend appreciable energy, any more than do the wires which conduct messages when you telephone or telegraph. The harm done la rather in the nature of racking the vital machinery by the release of excess energy (adrenin poured Into the blood by the adrenal glands and moblliz-ation of blood sugar, the nutscle and heart fuel for Immediate use).

Vet this Is un conscious c a m ouflaee. Where ao many others rush in pell-mell, he waits for an idea to bloom. One oi the theater's shrewdest and most studious observers, his castings have shown uncanny Judgment. The ma jority of his successes are brought about by his selection of obscure players. Few had heard of Gladys George until he salvaged her from stock to be the bright particular star ot "Personal Appearance." Time aftr time he haa figuratively picked them out of the air. Unsmiling, ungrateful-eyed, he Is in some ways the Rialtos current Gloomy Gus. Member of a distinguished Kansas family, he began as a newspaperman In Emporia, migrating in easy Jour nalistic stages to New York. His first theatrical venture. "Enter Madame." established him. and his failures have been few: He Is tie calmest person in the audience at his own first nhts. When Sum Byrd grows too Jittery from hi flOO sombre sTattem niehts of turnip eating in "Tobacco Road." he gets hold of himself by hopping a train for several hour of wlnfiow looking He buys a round trip to some point in Jersey or Long Island, acquires a window view and returns refreshed and ready for more turnips.

This, I believe, Is a real fac tor In the causation of arterioscle rosis and premature physical decline. So I sincerely believe the silly habit of rolling somersaults helps to keep my arteries soft. I roll myself several dozens a day. Have a notion It takej some of the curse off any excess in eating and smoking. Anyway, I know It clears away snags and restores good nature when any little uhtng gets In your hair, though I regret to say it doesn't restore your hair. But then, there's the lodln ration, if your hair is graying too early. In short, I prescribe somersaults for anyone who is past his age.

RECEIMAUDI1S Comment : on the Day's News By FRANK JKNKINS RALPH CAKE, vice-president and managing director of the Equit able Savings it Loan Association, of Portland, who spent Saturday In the Klamath country, has Just returned from a trip through the Middle West and Eaot. He Is more than ever convinced of the future greatness of this country : out here. "IN THE next five or six years," he t ssys, "the Pacific Northwest will see tremendous development. Every body back there wants to get out here. The fame of the Pacific North west la spreading faster than ever before. "The only reason they don't come now is that they can't get loose can't get rid of their property back there. As conditions improve and they are able to get loose, we'll see , them come Hocking here to found new homes In what they regard as the finest country In America." """HE drought and the dust storms J. back there," he says, "are every bit as bad as we've been led to be lieve. "I flew back this time, and east of the Rockies we passed through a severe dust storm. We climbed to 15,000 feet in an effort to avoid it, but couldn't get above It. "The dust was really terrible, actu ally Interfering with breathing. I'd certainly hate to have to live In It." v . C-nV BUSINESS conditions, Mr. Cake says, aren't as good as they might be yet, but are improving. They will continue to Improve as people get more confidence. "Our own company," he says, "Is steadily extending its loans on real estate, and is also finding Its collec tions good. We're getting more money in than we know Just yet how to put out." LOS ANGELES, Mr. Cake says. Is about the only city In which there is really extensive building of homes. Nearly everywhere costs are still too high, but down In Los Angeles they seem to have got their costs down to a point that people can meet. Men In the building trades in Los Angeles. Mr. Cake says, are working for $5 a day. feeling that it Is far better to keep busy pretty steadily at 95 a day, than to be Idle. Material costs, also, have been kept fairly low. The result is that people are going ahead. IT ISN'T high price alone, you see, that make business good. Before business can be really good, prices of what people want have to be low enough that people can afford to pay them. Either that or earnings have to be high enough FOR EVERYBODY to make It possible to pay high prices. It doesn't matter much which way it works. About the only definition of pros perity . that really holds water is a condition where everybody can ex change what he has for what the other fellow has at a fair and equal rate, so that nobody Is robbed In the exchange. When we have thit condition, we have prosperity.

The attempt of the executive of fice to withdraw the resignation of William Johnson was declared void by the opinion which stated that "an unconditional resignation which has been transmitted to the author ity entitled to receive It. cannot be withdrawn.
