CHARACTER, AN
ASSET In BUSINESS
Rev. Piatt Addresses School
of Commerce.
The Minister Urges Pupils to be
Extremely Careful in
Character Building.

"Character as an Asset in business
was the subject OF the third FRIDAY
morning lecture before the students Of
lhe School of Commerce, delivered
by Rev. b. q. Piatt, pastor of Cen
trail Christian church.
Character Is capital in business.
What can you do with your character
and turn 1t into busincss?" asked Rev.
Piatt. He then spoke about a corn
field and weeds, comparing the corn
with character, and every other thing
that persists in growing in this field
as the opposite Of characterize
negatives, which he classed under the
head of vice. 1T Is important to
plant good seed,'' said the speaker,
''but the chief work is to take care
|of the crop of weeds, these mega
tives. True success will come as a
natural result of the character you
build. Concentration Is the positive
element; scatteration. the negative.
Concentration is corn growing, char
acter building. When you have mast
cred It, you have the first requisite
|of business success. You are all
finding out the value of concentra-
tion. We become invaluable when
we know more about one subject than
any one else. You need not worry
about the job; it will come around
and look you up.
Another phase OF character build
ing Is the power of vision. You
can't beconie successful without see
ing things. 1t is the man who can
see through stone wall and see
something on the other side who
wins. The man who sells an article
today for rs cents rather than wait
until tomorrow and get 81, lacks tho
power to see what is ahead.
E'What does your name count for?
The very name is a charm--a business
asset to many men today. Did you
ever stop to think about that?
ooh, the JOY of mastery! There Is
never any satisfaction In merely GO
Ing over things. Through concentra-
ton, a young lady. formerly stenog-
rapher, Is one, of the officers OF
large type-writing company. People
don't get into such places without
character. That is corn growing.
Character draws like the magnet
among the steel shavings. The mega
tives are .repellant. Does the dudine
draw or repel? That is the weed in
the corn. Corn goes to the mar
ket; is worth so cents bushel. We
must keep valuable secrets In busi-
ness; that requires character"
Rev. Piatt closed his address with
strong appeal to build up a big, clean,
white, four-sided, square character.
which is necessary TO secure and hold
the biggest jobs on the market.

tically every state. with some 400 or
more in the entire country. Mr. Stowe
says:
"rhe School City method Is applied
by the establishing In schools of minia.
ture democracies modelled as closely
as is practicable upon our state and
city governments.
1T has two important purposes first
to teach the children to govern and
discipline themselves under super
vision and again to supplement their
text book instruction In the theories
of civil government by showing them
the governmental machine in actual
operation, In which operation they are
one and all active parts, with work
to do and responsibility to share.
"Mr. Gil Is the president of the
Patriotic league, an organization form
ed primarily to give moral support to
the cause Of civic education. Presl-
dent Roosevelt, DR.. Edward Everett
Hale. Jacob Riis and many other able.
distinguished and patriotic men are
now on his board. Mr.. Gill In financ-
Ing this work practically alone has
been reduced from the luxury OF
wealth to the pinch Of poverty Now
that the movement has been tried IN
the balance aud has not been found
wanting Is It not time that public
spirited men came to the rescue?
when we realize that our corrupt
and boss ridden cities are the feature of
our democracy which has proved most
nearly q failure. can we as Americans
allow one man longer to fight almost
single handed battle the outcome OF
which is Of such vital concern to our
entire tepublicy"
Any one interested In the School City

!: EVENTS IN OREGON |
CompIain Against RAILROADS.


Salem-Repeated and persistent
complaints have been coming In to
the Railroad Commission from ship
pers of livestock from all parts OF the
state of the facilities for handling
livestock shipments on the o. r. &
n. and Southern Pacific lines and the
rate schedule system for single and
double-deck stock cars. The COM
mission has been asked to take the
matter up with the view of indu ng
the railroad companies to either pro-
vide a more adequate supply of
double-deck cars or to revise the rate
schedule and make 1t more clear and
equitable.
The cost OF chartering a double
deck car for shipping hogs, sheep and
goats is about 10 per cent of the
rate of two single-deck stock cars.
There is a provision in the tariff
under which, If the company is un-
able to furni n a double-deck car
when ordered, the shipper will be
furnished with two single-deckers at
the same rate. Few shippers, how
ever, are aware of this and those
who are not are frequently bumped
for the extra cost of two single-deck
cars. Those who are wise to the sit
uation put in an order forNa double
deck car which they know the COM
pany cannot fill and reap the benefit.

Plan for Big Farming Colony.

Sumpter--A scheme involving
much Importance to this section of
Eastern Oregon, is the settling up of
large tract of land in this vicinity
and Whitney by a farming communi-

once covered with pine timber, which
In recent years has been cut down.
The land is now idle and of no use
except to sheep and cattle-owners,
who lease bodies Of 1t for grazing
purposes. 1t can be used by them
but short while. as the grass soon
becomes scarce after range stock
roam over 1t few weeks 1t has
been demonstrated that the foothills
of bench lands of this section are
wonderful producers of hay with the
assistance Of irrigation, which is
easy, as the country is we'll watered
by large mountain streams. There
are thousands of acres of this land
lying idle at present.

Salem-Friendles and homeless,
James Cruthers, nine months In the
United States, applied to the Oregon
State lnnsane Asylum Saturday af-
ternoon upon the ground that he was
insane and that II he remained at
large much longer he would do him
self bodily harm. This ia the first
time within the memory OF those
connected with the institution that a
person has made voluntary applica-
tion for admittance on the ground OF
insanity.
The case of Cruthers is most pit
liable one. He came to the United
States from Ireland with an invalid
mother, his father having died only
a few months before. He had been
in this country a few weeks when
the mother died, and being alone In
the world and unacQualnted with
American ways he lapsed into an
acute state OF melancholia.
