What the Panic Has Taught

We have learned some things by eX- pericucc, recently by a very trying eX- perieucc for many, Experience is of value to us only as we profit by it. Let us hope, then, that in what we have just been through we have all had that kind of experience. Among other things We have learned what it means to stand steady in times of storm and stress. We have learned. too, more fully, perhaps, than hereto fore, the value of credit in the busi- ness world, and have had brought home to us anew the fact that it is a most delicate part of a most delicate mechanism. We have learned where weak places were, where improper practices obtained. We have learned again the value of cooperation. In some directions what was weak has been strengthened, and what is all- important, if any man has been guilty of a violation of trust that makes him amenable to the law, we may feel con- fdeut that its processes, in orderly manner and regardless of sensational indictment for or against him, will be evoked in the interest of the public.

THE OFFICIAL EXAMPLE.

Whenever, by election, or appointment,
a man becomes, in any sense sponsor
for the public business, the public peace,
the public morale, he is looked to by that
public which he serves, for the personal
conduct and dignity that justifes ms
place in the public service; and the
closer and more intimate his relation and
touch with the people themselves the
more exacting becomes the demand for
rectitude and orderliness in his indi-
yidual conduct, No officer who forgets
this can hope for the respect or the con-
fidence Of the public; it may be passed
BY in silence for time but it is not ior-
gotten and always carries its specific
weight in the future calculations In
(Which that officer figures. This Is es-
peciaIly true Of the personal habit OF
sobrietv: the officer who permits the
drinking disposition to usurp any con-
spicuous control over him, on duty, or
off duty. drives the rending wedge OF
suspicion in the substance Of popular re-
lance. 50 far as he is concerned, and
tacitly commits himself to the dis-
qualifying laches Of incompetence and
incapacity. simply because the public
will never fully trust a man who drinks.
An officer charged with the upholding OF
the law is expected to set an example
in favor Of that law; his failure to DO
this, and his deliberate fracture OF the
law. personally. accounts him irrespon'
sible and subject to righteous criticism,
and all men know where adverse criti-
cism leads to.

other place in all Oregon, to handle,
build and make good upon, the shipping
of the Columbia basin. This conviction

of conspicuous import and certain value
