Set Forth Issues.
In his sildroM Harding set forth
the Issues and perpetuation of the
coming political campaign as three
fold, involving maintenance and
perpetuation of a representative
fo-pn of government; solution of do-
mnatlr problems and the disposition
of problem arising from our for-
olgn relations. .At tbo outset ho paid
tribute lo Lincoln.
"There Is," said Harding, "no

growing out of the relation of man

ernment as Interpreted by Lincoln.
Hi understood that neither an
autocracy nor an extreme democracy

Tendency to Nationalize
Tbe great history of tbo develop

rulu has tieeit marked by the domi
nance of Individualism, und U Is vit
tuully Importuut now to get buck to
conditions In Hurniouy with our form
of government. The tendency Just
now is to nationalize everything. W-o
fought lu Lincoln's day o maintain
a representative form of govern
ment In our own country. And rep
resentative government starts from
tho locality. Wo must k&ap iu mind
that the least government ii the best
government: tbo local government
must not be supplanted by federal
or bureaucratic government."
The big Issues of the cauvpalgn,
tho speuker predicted, will bo na
tionalism as against Internationalism.
The ropublk-an party, lie said,
"stands for America first 'big
enough, strong enough, rich' enough
und good enough thut no nation on
earth, or all combined, will oucstion
Its rights."
""Anxious to Help World.
"Wu ure not, only willing but are

continued. "Hut w iuslst that we

of all Business Relations
Collections and credits, a subject

relations, was discuaed from six dlf-
ferent unglee by Tt. K. Knupp, credit j
manager fo.' the Spalding Logging j
company of Portland, at tire second
lecture of the business lecture course "". naPP saia i.i oeiir a u..
in the Preiyterlan church last night, i chant gives credit he should be sure
iNationa'l prosperity depends on the
stability of commerce and tl;.. sta
bility of commerce always depends
upon the soundness of credit. This,
Knupp declared, is a truism ull
should realise. In other words civili
sation Is based on credit.
('mill Defined.
Credit, defined Knupp, is confi
dence In men, lltelr methods, their
character, Institutions they represent.
nations they live In. There Is no
business transaction wlraro credit Is
not Involved In somo way.
It bolng admitted that credit Is
tho bulwark of commerce and hence
of civilisation. It Is necessary, Kjiapp
docln.vd, to protuct credit. He ns
careful In protecting credit as a bunk
Is in protecting tho money In Ha
vaults. t
Thoro are three "C's" in the theory
of credit, Ktinpp pointed out Char
acter, wnmclty and capital. Of these
three, character is by fur tho most
Invportnut. Without character, ca
pacity cannot survive, and capital
ond capacity will eventually fall also.
Character In business will mean thut
tho cuptltil will eventually soon como
to you.
Capacity In busluesa is useless by
Itsolf but Is u necessary adjunct to
chnructor.
I'jipllal Requires Om
Capital' requires wonderful cure.
Knupp stuted. Failures In business
are duo to incomeptoncc and in
experience or, in otner words, poor
handling of original capital. It U
never safe lo use credit to borrow
capital unless cupltal burns over,
such ns In buying and selling. In

Strong Arm Methods.
Once iu a groat while, Knup
stuted, a situation arises that neces
sitates compulsion and strong-aim
methods. When tho merchant be
comes convinced that docent methods
will not apply to the man who owe
him money then he should give I
to him strong, plus a couple, of xtra
Jolts. Illustrating his point with
an extreme Instance, Knnpp men
tioned an incident in Rainier.

into an obdurate man owing him
money who refused to pay his debts
and was about to leave town. TK
merchant pressed 'a revolver to the
man's side until he agreed to pay
bis bill. ,
"Shakespeare," Knupp said In con
clusion, "was a great man, and one
of the g.viatest things 'he ever said
was the passage ln 'Hamlet' which
atartd out, 'Neither a borrower nor
a lender be." "
