IN
PASADENA, June f7,-one of the most
impressive incidents of the closing week
Of the Pasadena public schools occurred
this evening when the alumni of Pasadena
high school presented Superintendent OF
Schools James D. Graham with hand
some loving cup. The trophy was given
to the educator in acknowledgment of his
seventeen years as head of Pasadena's
schools, his term and service ending on
July !, when he will go to Long Beach
city.
The presentation speech was made by
Miss Grace Tower, one of Superinten-
dent Graham's particular admirers. Miss
Tower expressed the sentiments Of all
the students, past and present, of the
high school and public schools, when she
said that the pupils looked upon Mr.. Gra-
ham as a father and were grieved that
he should leave for another city, but
that every one wished him the greatest
success in his new field.
Mr. Graham received the trophy and
made an appropriate reply, telling of the
public schools, expressing his faith in
their future growth. He told the alumni
that he expected as great Things of those
present as he had seen some of their
fellows accomplish and that his entire
faith was established in the Pasadena
boys and girls. He expressed sorrow. at
bright hopes for his work in Long Beach.
Charges have been made against the
board Of education to the effect, that Su-
perintendent Graham's resignation was
due to politics in the board. and
1t is a well known fact that
the popular educator goes to Long
Beach reluctant to leave Pasadena.
His record as superintendent Of Pasa-
dena's schools is exceptionally good, for
under his direction they have grown from
an enrolment of about 500 to over 3000
and from two small buildings to eleven
grammar schools and one big high school.

SOLIDITY OF THE WEST.

There is a phase Of the present fl
nancial furry which reads like a ro-
nance. It is that statement of the
treasury officials of the United States
in which they unqualifiedly declare,
that but for the soundness and pros
perity Of the west, the banks of New
York city would have been ruined
two weeks ago.
In November and December, 1911,
there passed through the then will
derness Of eastern Oregon a starved,
naked, disheartened little band Of ad-
venturers on their way to the mouth
of the Columbia river to found a
trading post for John Jacob Astor,
the richest man in New York city at
that time.
This New York venture was start
ed with many misgivings as to the
outcome and after a few years OF
disastrous experiences. it ended in
miserable failure. John Jacob AS
tor and other rich New Workers.
cursed this far away wilderness into
which they had poured their precious
gold. and which had swallowed up
some of their best men.
But civilization pushed its way
slowly to the west. Astoria was
named for the New Yorker who
founded the old trading post and has
survived the ravages of time and fate
to become one Of Oregon's best cities;
A few years after Astor's disastrous
adventure on the Pacific coast Sem
ator Daniel Webster stood in the
American congress and thanked God
that the Rocky mountains stood
perpetual barrier between New Eng
land and oregon, which he described
as "a land Of impossible mountain
chains. cougar, bear and buffalo"
But Marcus and Narcissa Whitman.
undaunted by Webster's terrible pic
ture Of Oregon, crossed those Inn
passable mountains" by wagon, and
in the midst Of the "land Of cougar,
bear and buffalo" laid the founda-
tions for that wealth and prosperity
which this year saved New York's
boasted institutions from utter wreck.
History does not contain a more
thrilling nor fascinating romance
than this. The wilderness of so years
ago is the mainstay Of the nation to-
day.

STRANGERS NO LONGER.

Trouble obliterates all lines of dis
tinction, all hatreds. all differences.
Men estranged by business rivalry,
embittered by the merciless competi-
ton of this commercial age, forget
their differences in any trouble which
threatens the country at large, and
after all, with all the seeming sell
fishness of business enterprises. there
is yet a sound and unfaltering pat
riotism at the bottom.
In the present financial furry this
sturdy patriotism which permeates
the population of the country is Wv
idly exhibited. Rival cities, individ-
ual rivals, banks and men and towns
which had been fighting for trade and
which had engaged in sharp contests
over coveted prizes, have put away
their animosities. grounded their
arms, and are now seen working
shoulder to shoulder for the good of
the country and the integrity of its
institutions.
After all, we all lean more or less
upon others and should never wander
so far from our fellows that we cam
not reach out and grasp them by the
hand.
