House than have all the other Presidents
and First Ladies put together in the same

ties of various sorts incessantly appeal for

mensely complaisant Maybe their respon
SiveneSs will wear out some day, but up to
the present they have never refused a re
quest where compliance was possible, and
they have submitted to some very unreason-
able requests. They have been "shot at" 50
often that doubtless they could dine under
an uninterrupted bombardment without
distress.
In this matter of posing for pictures the
President and Mrs. Harding simply follow
a line of reasoning they have taken ever
since Will Hays chucked over the long dis
tance telephone. on the night Of May .:
you're in! This is that they actually
belong to the people, They very quickly
perceived that the price of the Presidency
is the surrender of privacy They prepared
to give themselves to the people in most Of
their visible aspects. They werc-are-
honest and sincere about this There IS
no bunkum about il. In the campaign there
was a lot of silly talk about Harding being
kind of "stuffed shirt" This was a not
very elegant way Of suggesting that he was
merely comely imitator of really great
men, with nothing much himself in the way
of originality and forcefulness This talk
of course was all drivel. Whatever his
actual capacity may be-and time and stress
alone will demonstrate that-he Is dis
tinctly not an imitator Of men. He is en-
tirely himself for whatever that Is going
to turn out to be In history. He has his
own ways Of thinking and doing lie can
be as stubborn as a Missouri mule or as
plant as Il willow wand against or for
propositions he has thought out for him
self. or as instinct guides him.
In these random comments 1t may not be
improper to state that good many months
of observation on the part of the writer
leads to the conclusion that Warren G..
Harding is and intends to be his own boss
Mrs. Warren G. excepted. Any Senate
oigarchy that attempted seriously TO con-
troll the decisions of the President would

President is something temperamental for
the section of the country that produced
him.
Had not destiny edged him into news
paper work and politics he would have
made first rate sportsman, man of physi-
cal action. There's a good deal of Roose
velt about Harding, although the state
ment may surprise many folk. He loves
to be out of doors, to give his big healthy

he was lighter footed, he used to WELD a

TEACHING OREGON HISTORY

As was revealed last spring whel
students of various county schools par
ticipated in oratorical contests, boys
and girls of the Apple Valley have the
ability Of research and a power, subse-
quently, to present the findings OF
their study in language. clear and i'm
pressive. Boys and girls now in the
schools have a similar ability. and we
recommend that some of them give
themselves to participation in the es-
say contest being staged by the Ore.
gon Historical Society, which will
award to successful entrants cash prizes
of material sums. Those students who
enter sincerely and ardently into such
contest will be rewarded by the ben
efta Of such study, whether they win
the recognition prize will bring or
not. But then why Ishould not some
Hood River boy or girl win the top
award?
The historical society should be com
mended by all Oregonians for the eff
forts it is taking to instill into Oregon
boys and girls the will to become bet
ter acquainted with the history of the
state. The topic for this years essays
will be "The Discovery Of the Colum-
bia River" 1t is topic that offers a
great scope for some gifted boy and
girl. Data is available, if the stu
dents will seek but little. How inter
esting may such paper be made, as the
young student traces development of
the Oregon country from the time that
Lewis and Clark, led by the Indian
maiden, set their way in awe and won
der down the gorge Of Wauna, on down
to the time of the earliest steamboat
to ply the current of the great north
western waterway! The study that
such contest will instill will result in
an appetite for greater knowledge
for the incidents of pioneer days. 1t
will breed a greater reverence for the
of the commonwealth, |
which grew out of early day hardships.
The purposes Of the society are worthy |
The fostering of all of us.

removing the snow. Out in the Odell
district. if the architects had provided
a structure with pitched roofs, the tax
PAYERS would be relieved of trouble
some burden today.
Public and business buildings may
call for fiat roofs. and yet these roofs
may be made sufficiently strong to
bear up a maximum snow fall. Yet
we cannot see why some of our rural
and city schools could not be made Just
as beautiful by the adoption of some
form of architecture that would call
for a steeply pitched roof. Such plans
would eliminate worry and expense.
Flat roofs invariably leak, in case of
snowstorms.
AS for the private home, the bunga
low type of dwelling for this part of
Oregon is bungleome indeed. If you
do not believe it, just ask the man who
lived in one during the recent snow
storm.

BOWLING NEWS

By winning two out of three from
the Elite Billiard team, the Blue Dia-
mond bowlers moved into undisputed
possession of second place in the Port
land City League, as the Zellerbach
boys dropped a couple to Hadley-
Silver. Hood River is still four games
behind the Toke Point leaders, but
with 81 more games to play that is not
heavy margin to overcome. G. w.
McCullagh filled in in place of Annala
whoscoud not make the trip this.week,
and "Mac" came through with five in
a row for 205 game right when the
boys needed it in the second game.
The Hood Rivers percentage is now Il
won and IS lost, for figure of 538.
The team has won five of last six
series, dropping only to Toke Point
when they had to roll pace team
against the others scores, on account
Of the storm blockade.
Detailed scores follow:
