LENA NEWTON WRITES
Of DANIEL WEBSTER
Miss Lena Newton, a former Hood
River girl, who is now in Eugene,
where she is attending the State Uni
versity, recently wrote one of the
three beet essay in a class of a Urge
number of students. Miss Netwon
chose as her subject, Webster, The
Statesman. 1 he essay appears below :
On the outskirts of civilization in
New Hampshire, Daniel Webster was
born into a poor but highly resectable
family, January IK, 17hi Like to
many of our prominent men, Webster's
family was of Scottish origin but by
1636 we find them colonizing in Amer
ica. The storks of the hardships arid
triumphs of forefathers as told by his
father, who himself had served as an
officer in two American wars, when the
family sat around the fireplace after a
hard day's work on the farm, left a
lasting impression and influence on his
thoughtful mind.
After attending the winter's schools
and reading tne books in the little pub
lic library which his father helped
found, he was sent, at great personal
sacrifice to I'hilips Exeter Academy
and later to Dartmouth. After his
brilliant college course, he alternated
the study of law with teaching school
until he was admitted to the bar, and
he went home with his father, who
was now a judge, and started practic
ing for himself.
After eight years of particularly
successful and important law practice,
he enteerd Congress at the special
session of 1813. From that time until
his death, October 2i, 1 K.ri2, with few
interruptions, he gave his great intel
lect and influence to the service of the
ration through Congress or cabinet.
Even in his private practice, his
knowledge of government and deep
conviction of the necessity of the fed
eral government being paramount did
more, perhaps, by the important cases
he decided, than any other agency to
cause the growth of the new national
ism. Many of his cases were to decide
questions of coniflcting jurisdiction
between the state and national govern
ment, and in at least two of them
McCulloch vs. Maryland and Gibbons
vs. Ogden-the Supreme Couitused his
argument almost verbatim. Although
he is America's greatest orator, the
address of 1820 for the Pilgrim Society
at Plymouth, the Hunker Hill orntionH,
and the eulogy of Adams and Jefferson
were not simply masterpieces of ora
tory, they were the worthy expression
of the patriotic soul of a statesman.
In public affairs, his attitude toward
his political opponents as was unusual
as it was noble. Kvcn I lay tics called
forth only a few sentences of sarcasm
toward himself.
From his very first session in which
he advocated the "unclenching the iron
hand of the embargo" and creating a
sufficient navy to insure the respact of
other nations he worked that our
nation united should become a world
power. In the beginning he lielieved
this would be helped by free trade, but
when it came to the taritl revisions
of lHiJO, he stood by the New Engend
ers whom he represented, maintaining
that capital invited into manufactures
by previous legislation was entitled to
protection against foreign markets and
competition of foreign labor. For the
rest of his life he supported moderate
protection. It is sometimes said that
Webster was penetrative rather than
creative but both Lodge and Wilson
declare that at least his penetration
led to the creation of the new senti
ment and the Encyclopedia believes
that the feeling of the justice of their
cause among the North of tho Civil
War was largely due to Webster's
nationalistic arguments.
Webster had a statesman's view of
parties and party spirit, especially in
his earlier years, and always worked
simply for the good of the country.
Still Webster was a politician, and it
was due to him, more than anyone
else, that the Whigs were able to elect
Harrison.
It was largely through his tact that
our foreign relations were so satisfac
torily disposed of in Tyler's adminis
tration. In the two years he served
on this unharmonious cabinet, he set
tled the fifty year quarrel over the
northeastern boundary, the irritating
McLeod case, and kept honorable peace
with all nations.
With the foresight or imagination of
the statesman he saw the dangers of
multiplication, and by the same char
acteristic ho was able to see the drift
in that direction of any of the southern
oratois in their speeches, and in his
absolutely fearless, patriotic, powerful
way, ward otf the dangers of the
Union.
Daniel Webster was trulv honest in
his purpose in acting as "the defender
ot mo constitution. Ifighearled and
noble, tactful and courageous, imagin
ative and patriotic to the highest de
greesurely here la a statesman.
STRIPPED THE LOUVRE.
Restitution of Works of Art AfUr Na
poleon's Downfall.
The Louvre has known a still blacker
day than that on which "La Gioeomio"
was abstracted. This was Sept. 23.
1815. wbn formal restitution had to
be made of the pictures looted during
the conquests of Napoleon. Commis
sioners attended from fourteen differ
ebt states. The llon'a share was ob
talpd. curiously enough, by the rep
resentative of Cassel. who recovered
no fewer than 421 pictures. Austria
recovered 323. Spain 2SJ, Holland
210 and Prussia ll'J. Altogether
2,00o pictures were removed, together
with a number of stntuis, bus reliefs.
broii7.es, wood carvings, cameos and
enamels.
Sir Walter Scott In his "Life of
Napoleon" gives a graphic account of
the removal of the masterpieces, which
were being frantically copied by eu
thiislastlc students until the lust mo
ment before their departure. Thanks
to the exertions of Huron I tenon, w ho
was then director of the 1iuvre, a
certain number of stolen pictures were
retained, anions these being the finest
example of Paolo Veronese extant,
"The Marriage at Cnna." The gallery,
however, was left with only 270 pic
tures and remained closed until the
vacant spaces had been filled, inaluly
with the works of French artists.
Pall Mall Cazette.
TRESPASSING IN ENGLAND.
If No Damag Is Dont Intruders Need
Have No Fear.
Many timid pedestrians in rural
England are frightened away from In
viting fields by the notice "Trespass
ers Will lie Prosecuted." They need
have no fear, says an English ex
change.
As the law standi; any trespasser
who does the smallest damage In
lures a fence, breaks a small branch,
etc. can be summoned before a lung
Istrate and fined. Hut If Le does no
damage the landlord must bring an
action at law and get nn Injunction
This costs a lot of money, and unless
tho trespasser Is n man of means the
landlord won't bring bis action nt law.
All he can do otherwise is to ask you
to get out. -If you go peaceably you
can return an hour later and repeat
the visit as often as you wish. Noth
ing can be done beyond asking ydu to
leave again. But If you resist (hen
sullklent force can be used, and if
you show fight you muy bo legally
knocked down, your legs tied and your
self bundled on to the road.
The landlord may, however, play
some tricks on you. He can saw a
bridge crossing a stream, so that you
will get a ducking; be can dig a pit
for you to fall Into, and be can so tlx
tho atlle you are likely to cross that
you will break It, and then he can
have you up before the magistrate. If
you don't commit any damage, how
ever, you can trespass to your heart's
conteut.
An Architect's Ruse.
A story Is told of Sir Christopher
Wren, the great English nrchltect who
built the town hall of Windsor, IOng
land. It appears that a fidgety mem
ber of the corporation Insisted that
the roof required further support and
wished more pillars to bo added. Vain
ly did Sir Christopher assure him that
the supposed danger was lir.aglnury.
The alarm became Infectious, and the
great architect was finally worried
Into adding the desired columns.
Years rolled on, and In Inter times,
when nrchltect and patrons had passed
away, cleaning operations ou the roof
revealed tho fact that the supposed
additional supports did not touch the
roof by a couple of Inches, though this
was Imperceptible to the gazers be
low. Ily this curious expedient did
Sir Christopher pacify bis critics while
Indicating his own architect ural skill
to future generations.

Lake with a reflection of Mount Hood
has forwarded to him the plate of an

it is hoped a goodly number will take
advantage of the privilege thus offered.
Swift Was a Ounce at School.
Not only philosophers and divines,
but some of the most trenchant sati
rists and brilliant humorists, were dull
enough as boys. It has been said of
Swift In his best days that, "he dis
played either the blasting lightning of
satire or the lambent and meteor like
caricatures of frolicsome humor." And
yet this vigorous disputant was con
sldered a tit subject, for a fool's cap at
school. Afierward at the Dublin mil
verslty "he was by scholars esteemed
blockhead" who was denied his de
gree on Ids first application and ob
tained It with great dilllculty on the
second.-London Standard.

, (Ki'iid that over axuin. Il it hard to realize at one reading thut all these
big features are really present in one car aellintr for $1800. We k to have
Chalmers cars compared with any oilier cr either above or below our prices)
The "Tliirly-six" is the, first medium priced
car to have any one of these features much less
all of them.
One or two other makers have announced some
ot tliefe features since the Chalmers 1912 an
nouncement appeared. Others may i in tate later.
Prices were changed (thut is, lowered) in a num
ber of factories, at the last tn'iiute, too, following
the Chalmers 1012 announcement.

A Business Suggestion.
Hobby had worn Ills mother's
tlence to tho limit.
"You nro a perfect little heathen!"
she remarked, giving way nt l:isr.
"lo you mean Iff" demanded Hob
by.
"I do Indeed," said his mother.
"Then, say, ma." said Hubby, "why
can't I keen that 10 cents n w eek you
gimme for the Sunday sellout coll
lion? I guess Pin as hard up as any
of the rest of 'em." Harper's Weekly.
Thinqs He Knew.
Ills Wife Why don't yon go to the
doctor and find out Just what you
ought to eat and what you ought to
avoid? Dyspeptic Oh, 1 know all
that now. I ought to eat everything
1 don't like und avoid everything 1
do. Kxehange.
It is easy to f llow where some one else has
blazed the trail. Hut pioneering requires vision,
ingenuity, experimenting, resources and nerve.
It brings its own reward though.
Three y.!ars ago Chalmers Motor Company did
its fir.-t pioneering when it brought out the
Chalmers "M."
That was the first full size five-pass : inger car
with all the features that a real motor car must
have selling for so low a price as $1500.
Chalmers "Thirty-six" baa set a selling record
this season, too.
Trade turns naturally toward quality.
An announcement of this car was made July 8. Before the Chal
mers Company could deliver demonstrating cars to dealers they had
booked orders for 1082 "Thirty-sixes." Actual orders from customers,
w ith deposits.
It is with the keenest satisfaction that we are able to cite this re
cord. Not merely because of the sale of 1082 cars, but because of what
the sale of that many cars of a new model, without demonstration,
really means.
It means that Chalmers cars have become so standardized that
people have abso'ute confidence in them. It means that the reputa
tion of the Chalmers Company for honest values and fair dealing has
become so thoroughly esUblished that people know a Chalmers car
must be right because it 18 a Chalmers.
The Most Important Thing
After all, what is the most important thing to consider in buying
a motor car? It isn't merely specifications. Measurements of other
cars geem very much like those of the Chalmers. But that
doesn't mean that these cars ara the equals of a Chalmers.
There is something beyond these measurements. That something
is summed up by the Chalmers monagram on the radiator.
. The Chalmers name stands for honest , motor car building for
care and intelligence and efficiency at every step of the long road from
the designer's drawing board to the testing track and the shipping
platform. And after the car has left the factory, the Chalmers name
stands for well pleased owners, for satisfactory service, for a guarantee
backed by years of successful manufacturing.
"30s" and "Forties" Sell Fast
At the same time that the "Thirty-six" has been meeting Buch an
enthusiastic reception all over the country, there has been also a pile
nominal sale of 1912 "30" and "Forties." These were ready for de
livery earlier and we have been selling them as fast as we could build
and test them. For 1912 they offer even greater values than ever bo
fore. The "30" refiued and improved, with beautiful ventilated fore
door body, Chalmers mohair top, automatic windshield, magneto, gas
lumpj and Prest-O-Lite tank is offered this year for fl500.
The 1912 "Forty," an ideal car for those desiring great power
and seven-passenger capacity is sold, with the same complete equip
ment, for $2750.
We invite you to see these cars in our salesroom. We will be glad
to show them and to help you decide.
