CONGRATULATIONS

"You Never Can Tell. :" No you
never can. Men with the smiling faces
Of cherubim sometimes have deep Sc
cret thoughts in their craniums. Those
with countenances and physiognomonic
expressions trat would pass in Boston
sometimes break forth in bowling bits
of witticisms. Who would ever have
suspected that the urchin-like editor of
our local contemporary was shrewd
detective. and a raconteur; for he,
though modest, tells the tales of his
achievement. All. he is truly a shrewd
editor and can quickly thresh over the
husks Of contemporary dailies and win
now from among the chaf the choicest
kernels of local news interest.
Even before proffered offers of pro-
motion are made, we wish to offer con-
gratulations-we want to be first with
them. Indeed, we have no doubt that
the Sunday Mercury or the Police Ga
zette will be calling a man with such
keen perceptions of the detective.
Let US arise and acclaim our Hook

Without criticising the awards of
judges. many growers and other visit
ors to the land show last week are
Justly criticising the Land and Apple
show for the peculiar system of award
ing prizes in.the artistic apple display
class. The fiery has been raised now
for a number of years that Portland
at its apple show should have greater
variety of unique and novel exhibits.
The chance visitor, it was claimed,
would be attracted to a greater extent
if these novel exhibits were presented.
And this year the artistic display was
promoted. However, it is claimed that
those who devoted money and time to
producing the most artistic displays
received cool turn downs. According
to the technical terms of the rules of
the awards the premiums fell as they
should. However, the effect viii be to
cripple hereafter any tendency toward
the unique display Of apples.

THE ART 0E PuRLIC SPEAKING

one Of the tendencies Of the present
age is resulting in the loss Of the art Of
public speaking. 1t is true, men-and
even women; for with the coming OF
woman suffrage and the debut OF the
weaker sex into the activities and bus
mess pursuits Of all kinds women often
deliver public addresses-stlll make
speeches. Yet :how rarely does one
hear now the real. refined oratory Of
a decade or a score Of years ago. by
oratory, we do not mean high flown,
spread eagle outbusrts Of pretty sound
ing words. And it may be said, that
one heard more Of this kind Of thing
ten years ago than at present and that
we may be glad that liberation for It
has passed away. Yet along with It
has gone to a great extent that pleas
ant wav Of telling things worth while.
More men talk in public today than
ever before. Addresses are necessary
at business gatherings. assemblies Of
commercial organizations. Those who
speak usually have message that 10
of interest to their hearers, in what
ever language it may be clothed. But
the speakers of today do not display
any thought in the presentation Of
their subjects. or course, there are
exceptions, but this may be truly
stated as a general rule Many reasons
may be found for this tendency. Men
are buster today than they were ten
years ago. The shortest method,
whether the most pleasing or not, is
in most cases the one adopted. In
dulging in Herculean tasks, solving
the problems of his business, the man
who makes the speech has no time to
devote toward a fneness Of finish.
Even lawyers Of today, when jury
lawyers are becoming decidedly scarce,
that is, attorneys who are able to
make strong and stirring appeals be-
fore trial juries, do not deliver the fin
ished addresses that their predecessors
boasted of. Legal councillors, it is
true are better posted on the ever in
,reasing intricacies of their profession,
but their former strong forte Of ora
tory has failed them.
The schools and colleges Of the cOun-
Try are to blame for the decline of
)ubilc speaking, however, more than
my one thing. IL seems to be period
# the predominance of athletics. The

THANKSGIVING

Those SO inclined will attend the
Christian church and with their fellow
men and women join in the singing OF
Thanksgiving hymns and in Thanksgiv-
ing worship this morning. With ruddy
faces of health, in the benign atmos-
phere of belated Indian summer the
air crisp, the very shimmering rays OF
sunlight sparkling with a stimulus the
Hood River citizenship will walk the
streets Of the town, thankful not alone
for individual joys and prosperity, but
also for the privilege Of enjoying the
wonderful and inspiring scenery that
the agelong evolutions Of the God OF
Nature have given US.
However unfortunate any Of US may
seem to have been, always when the
annual cycle of time rolls Thanksgiv-
ing day around, we can find many,
many things to be thankful for. Even
the pain and suffering that may have
been our lot during the past twelve
months have given a new insight into
the problems of life. We are thankful
for sacred pleasures Of our home life
and their joys. We are thankful for
our friends.
Many will spend the afternoon walk
ing over the hills and down the Column
bia gorge. You will stop and gaze at
the snow white peaks of the guardian
mountains or look on the shimmering
expanse of the silvery waters Of the
Columbia. Take a beautiful picture
and put in an ugly frame and you will
spoil it. But where could you find a
more inpsiring environment, frame
for nobler thoughts, if we may be per
mitted to express it that way, than
here in the Hood River valley.
