The Looming Of Oregon.

The report from Mexico that Cen
cral CARRANzA's u has set md that
the coming man in the Constitutional
party is General ALvARo OREGON
may he the shadow. Of IA coming event.
In mems minds there has long been
a conviction-we speak of Mexico
that NEWSSTAND CARgANzA will nev
be President. Aside from the fact
that he is temperamentally unified to
rule a turbulent country. his deserts
are in question. 1t is true that he
set up the standard Of revolt In Goa
hula and made q respectable figure
head for the revolution. but In the
military successes In the field he
played no part. and such passivity Is
fatal in u Mexican hero.
To Francisco VILLA the First Chief
owed his emergence from obscurity ut
Hermosillo. VILLA Is now Il fugitive,
having fallen from his high military
| estate; but with his sword he carved
| the First Chiefs way to capital after
| capital and wen set up governments
for him to administer. VILLA prov
ing impossible rs n political leader,
| intrigue soon undermined him as n
! commander. and he went down to de-
| feat before .ALvARo OBIEGoN. who had
displaced him as CARRANzA's military
| chieftain. Ii was through ORRrGoN's
| victories that the First Chief re-:
tanned his standing as the statesman
of the revolution, %expounder OF the
Constitution and director Of diplo-
matte relations. The First Chief re-
mained an imposing ~figurchead, but
his followers knew that the man
Of the hour was the conqucror OF
Francisco VILLA. McXicnns dearly
love a soldier. They will bow down
to no one else. They cannot dis
tinguish between a civilian and a
military leader in n revolution; tina,
is 70 say, the man they honor and are
ready to obey must be n soldier.
If Francisco VILLA had been a man
Of some education and worth of char
acter he could have set aside The
First Chief and stepped to the heat
of affairs. But bravo rs lie was
VILLA understood his limitations. Al
yAIo OREGON has those merits ant
qualifications which VILLA Away
lacked.
The rnnchman who became Genera
of the Carranza forces is n solid, use
full. masterful. respectable mar of th'
people. He has studied economies an'
political history. He has enoug'
sayoir faire and breeding for hicl
position. \ hero Of many battles
THERE'S nothing of the dictator abou
him. 70 many MeNicnns he is Tia
quiet, strong, honest, resourccful mai
who could reconcile the factions

of the Generals is probably true. !
Is therefore credible that the Con

growth and development. But there
are other wheels no less important.
Today our homes are bright and hap
py, our schools and colleges filled
with sturdy, promising youth, our
churches attractive and prosperous
because in factory and shop and mill
the wheels of industry are kept sing
ing night and day. The music of
these wheels is the delight of the fl
nancier, the joy of the laborer, the
hope of the merchant, and the pride
and inspiration of the republic. Upon
our farms the wheels accompany the
pillow, the cultivator, the harvester,
the thresher and then bring the pro-
duce from afar to our kitchen doors.
The great ocean liners that bind the
continents together and carry our
missionaries and Bibles and surplus
products to foreign lands and bring
back to as the fruit and treasures of
the earth, do their gigantic work by
wheels fore and aft. Upon all our
food products, manufactured goods,
and the treasures dug out of the
earth is the stamp and seal of the
wheel.
God Almighty seems to have de-
signed His universe after the wheel.
The planets are spheres, the stars and
satellites prescribe circles in their or
bits, the sun like a huge hub, revolves
about its own axis while upon its
spokes of centripetal power the plan
cts and their attendant moons flash
like fixed diamonds, and out upon the
mighty rim in far misty space move
the glittering stars with inconceivable
rapidity. This gigantic wheel may be
but one of many similar wheels mov-
ing about some far distant center
until the mind becomes bewildered
in its contemplation of wheels within

all and through all" We see the APP

shall use the text as the key to I'M
lock its meaning to you.
The wheel is product of civiliza-
ton. Savagery never saw wheel,
never dreamt of its practical utility
and infinite possibilities. An enlight-
ened brain first produced it and then
it went rolling its way down the cen
turtles, the acknowledged sign and
proof of growing and progressing
humanity. Wherever man has attain
ed high degree of civilization, there
the wheel in great variety and prac-
teal utility appears. It is a matter
of our national pride that America
is the envy of the world and per-
haps we have never thought how
great a part the wheel has played
in our national development. We have
more miles of railroad than any 9TH
er country and perhaps as many as
all other countries combined. In the
development of this country we have
followed the wheel on its iron road
over the mountains and through the
plains to the vast coal fields and
mines, to the wide and rich prairies
now teeming with waving harvests
and fruitful vineyards, to the deep
water courses now throbbing with the
moving tides of q growing industrial
life. Railroad wheels have been the
pioneers IN the nations material

1.-THE spirit of the living creature

Whatever may be the meaning of
Ezehal's vision is a matter of con-
lecture. Theologians widely differ in
their Interpretation of his wheels"
and the living creature in them. It
is not my purpose now to offer sofu-
ton of the riddle. Certain parts of
the books of Ezekial and Daniel in
the Old Testament and of the Revela-
ton in the New are as yet beyond
human comprehension.
Ezekial, like every great man, was
a dreamer. All thoughtful ambitious
men see visions and dream dreams.
They see before them life's great re-
sponsibilities and the respondent OPP
portunities for achievement. The
large percentage of those who have
attained to eminence in any sphere
of activity first saw in vision OF

action. He was half yard in the lead
by the time Ted Cam gave chase. At
the end of the first 10 yards Vollmer
was leading his nearest rival by inches,
with Wheatley a close third. In taxing
the 22O-yard turn Vollmer increased
his advantage by about half yard. As

finishing float Cam gained little, but
in the last fifty yards he fell back
again. He was beaten by two yards
