THE STRENGTH THAT COUNTS


Nearly nineteen hundred years ago Epicttus, Greek
slave Rome gave this definition of the muscular training
of philosophers
"A will undsapponted, evils avoided powers daily
ercised, careful resolutions unerring decisions.
If men had sriven to obtain this training the world
would be considerably further along than il is to-day.
But Epictus's advice, like all advice, largely dis
regarded and to-day there few who will follow It,
Yet the sentence have quoted lays down the very
best rule for the youth of to-day
will that masters mind, the ability TO evil and
keep away from it, the daily of the power of the brain,
good resolutions well kept and swift and accurate decision
these will make any man leader.
And without at least of these qualities
will ever rise above the average.
1t is of easier give advice than take IT, It
for the teacher teach than for the pupil to learn
But remember that many have followed the rule
carefully thought out by EPctus and have risen to fame
and power because they did follow IL.
You may aspire fame you may fancy that you do
power. Really you would like both you could
get them But whether you get them you get

CUT PRICES; co AHEAD.

I EW HAHN, Managing Director Of the National
IL Retail Dry Goods Association, is quoted as
follows:
1T is unfortunate that announcements Of
price reductions. a. they have lately appeared
IN the press. have been calculated TO create
IN tire minds Of consumers the impression
that these price reductions might b. expected
ct once On retail stores. Obviously this r.
not possible. because ell retail stores are
carrying heavy stooks Of merchandise pur-
chased prior 10 the reductions made by the
manufaetursrA-
Mr. Hahn, speaking for the retailers, seeing
what he wants 10 see He Is desregarding the facts
IN the market. That Is the only explanation Of his
use Of obviously"
Even more obviously the price al which retailers
bought goods has little or nothing to do with the
price at which they are sold Every retailer knows
TINS. II is his regular explanation Of discount
sales" "Stocks must move at any cost" is a tnism
IN every branch Of business.
The only question facing the merchants Is whether
they viii make the cuts now and move the goods
or keep the goods and make the cuts later.
: The public Is not buying and will not buy when
+ Il knows cuts are coming.
With retailers, no less than wholesalers, the path
Of courage is the path 10 renewed business activity
Il Is case Of cut prices now and 90 ahead or else
hold up prices now, stagnats and then cut There
Is no third choice.
Either means loss Of profits, loss Of capital In
some cases. But losses are inevitable. The only
question is how long the period OF losses will
continue.
Consumers are all the more ready TO lake ad-
vantage Of this market condition because they know
that in most eases the retailers marked UP stocks
as the market rose instead Of selling at cost plus a
fixed profit
In most cases these losses of the falling market
were discounted on the rising market
Cut prices, and 90 ahead.

WHY ISN'T LABOR REPRESENTED


n RGANlZATION Of the Merchant Tnlckmen's
~ Bureau seems TO be a step in the direction of
such coordination Of inta-city transportation as
The Evening World has long urged.
II is not too much to hope that this movement
may eventually lead to "storedoor" delivery sys-
tenn and installation Of standardized equipment,
including removable tnr:k bodies for loading and
unloading at docks, railroad terminals and shipping
and receiving stations.
Increased efficiency and decreased street oonges-
ton are essential. Low efficiency and congestion
delays cause losses to the business interests Of New
York which run into the millions.
In a statement by James J. Riordan, President Of
the new bureau we read:
Il believe II will be the means not only
OF stabilizing the industry itself and AFFORD
ing a workable understanding among ell
concerned but also OF correcting many OF the
conditions that interfere with commercial
transportation"

bill EMITTING MEN
OF 146TH TO WEAR
STAR PASSES HOUSE
Twenty-Five Men From Pendle-
ton and Vicinity Affected by
Proposed Law Allowing De-
notation of War Citation.

The Summers bill, providing that
members OF the old 146th. field artil-
lery who were cited for bravery may
wear silver stars. passed the house
yesterday, according to telegraphic
word received in Walla Walla Tuesday
afternoon. The unit was composed of
men from the Inland Empire and in
cluded % from Pendleton and vicinity.
Congressman Summers bill, If IL
passes the senate and becomes a law,
will allow the former members of the
l46th field artillery who were cited
for galantry at the front to wear the
silver star donating such citation.
The bill was made necessary owing
to the fact that the war department
ruled that no star could be worn for
any citation except those made by gem
eral officers. Since the 66th field ar
tillery brigade of which the 146th regi-
ment was part, was never command
ed in action by a general, all citations
for gallantry in action by the colcnels
who commanded the brigade, were de-
clared invalid by the war department.
The passage of the Summers bill
will allow the wearing of the stars
just as If the citation has been made
in the beginning by a general officer.
