When the Firms First
Set Foot in America

TO the Swedes has generally
gone the whole credit for the
pioneer settlement in the Delaware
river valley 300 years ago. The
colony was known as the New
Sweden" but half of its population
were Finnish.
These Films settled in and
around what are now Chester and
Philadelphia, Pa. Old maps show
the settlements bearing such
names as Finland, Korsholm ana
Vaasa, all apparently the product
of Finnish settlers. These colon
lists had come to America with the
Swedish immigrants, they lived
under the rule OF towering Jonah
Printz. governor of New Sweden,
but they left an indelible mark OF
Finnish nationalism on the Ne"
World.
So the Finnish government on
the 3O0th anniversary raises a
monument at Chester, Pa, TO marx
this first Finnish settlement, and
alsoshas issued a special stamp, re-
produced above, portraying two
male figures struggling with a
stump in the task of clearing the
new land. It was designed by the
wcll-known Finnish artist, Aarno
Karimo. The stamp is brown, Of
three and oDe-half mar!Ha denoh-
nation, equivalent at the preSeH'
rate of exchange to 7.G7 cents.

poem, but it de- picts his trend OF
mind.
A factor of his success was his
freedom from worry. He once
said that as a young man he was
inclined TO worry, but upon dis
covering how it handicapped him,
he determined to overcome it.
The greatest test of his philosophy
came when ne was seventy-t two.
On every sea sailed ships that bore
the magic name of Standard Oil;
they were anchored in almost ev
cry port in the world.
!8ut oser the tankers hung a
shadow The government of the
United States! Standard Oil was
a monopoly, said the government
and operated IN opposition to the
antitrust laws. Suit was launched
against the company. What a suit!
1t dragged along for five years!
The mCst erudite and eloquent
lawyers in the land argued and
wrangled and fought over it, -Four
and one-half million words of
testimony were printed and packed
the records.
Then the climax The old gent
leman himself was called to the
witness stand
For five days he sat there, speak
ing slowly, cautiously he
must make a good showing. At
last the trial was over; the Supreme
Court handed down its decision: the
Standard Oil Company must be dis
solved!
The word came first to his law
yer. John G. Johnson, who knew
how devastating the news would
be-the end of long and valiant
career.
IN a few moments he had Mr..
Rockefeller on the telephone and
told him what had happened. There
was a long silence from the old
man, then what sounded like
sigh.
The lawyer, hoping to cheer him
up, said. I'm sorry, Mr. Rockefel-
Ter I hope you won't let it worry
you and that you will get a good
nights sleep"
Mr.. Rockefeller's voice grew
little stronger.
I'm not goin gto worry, and III
get my sleep tonight, too"
This ability to free himself from
worry is one Of the most important
reasons fer his having lived to be
81 years cid.

WILL YOU HINDER SCIENCE?
(Oroville Mercury-Register)

Considerable discussion is being evok-
ed as the time of the Nov 8 election nears
over the merits or demeritS of PROPOSE
ton No. on the ballot, named The State
Humane Pound Act
Boiled down to a few words, the act
forbids poundmasters from selling or
Surrendering unclaimed animals in
pounds for scientific experiments.
An impartial person can understand
why lovers of dogs do not wish to see
impounded animals experimental upon
in laboratories but when one carefully
reviews the medical progress that has
been made on behalf of humanity as
result of such experiments, one is prone
to let science have its way in this matter.
FOrty-odd human diseases and 32 pure
ly animal diseases have been successful
ly treated due to laboratory discoveries
and Investigators are now laboring on
cures for infantile paralysis, cancer,
syphilis heart disease and rheumatism
by this method.
Would anyone knowingly want to him
der or delay important discoveries that
would aid mankind in alleviating pain
and saving life?
Medical men make it plain that dogs
and other animals are not treated in a
cruel and inhumane manner.
Would you rather that these expert
ments be undertaken upon the person of
some loved one, or as now upon stray,
impounded animal? We would say, the

BALLOTING TO PREVENT
MISCELLANEOUS BALLOTING

Proposition No. II ON the Nov. g ballot
is aimed to discourage just such situa-
tiOnS as will confront California voters
next Tuesday, when they will be asked
to vote yes" or no on 25 propositions,
about many of which the average man
can know very little.
The proposed senate constitutional
amendment would. in brief. require 130
days instead of 80 days to elapse be-
tween election day and filing of propos-
ed laws and constitutional amendments
which are to be placed on the ballot.
A great mechanical need exists for
this provision, to give the secretary of
state sufficient time to prepare and pre-
sent the proposals to the voters, but in
another direction lies the greatest bene-
fit
1t would discourage some, at least, of
the many worthless propositions which
now clutter up the general election bal
lot in California, and would force closer
consideration of other measures propos-
ed for the ballot.
If anything can limit the number of
propositions to those which rightfully
should be decided by the voters, and not
by the legislature, we are in favor of it.
Vote Yes.

Famous Sayings
Bruce Cation Says
- Spending, Like Thrift, Nav Be a Virtue

Some little time ago a Cleveland
engineer won a prize of $4,000 or
thereabouts, for inventing new
welding process. Since then there
has been a steady procession of
statesmen TO his door, and the other
day a newspaper sent a reporter
out to ask the mans wife how she
felt about it all.
The lady was pretty well fed up
with the steady stream Of callers,
as can easily be imagined but the
interesting thing about it is that
the one she seemed to resent the
most was an investment broker who
submitted a carefully itemized in
Vestment plan to take care of the
prize money Sensibly. What she OBJ
iected to was the fact thai this
mans scheme was altogether too
sensible; it would have accounted
for every penny, leaving no smallest
loophole for a little free and easy
spending just for the fun of H.
Perhaps this is not the best
moment to suggest that there can
be limits to the virtue of thrift.
Yet it is somehow refreshing to
run across a person who under
stands that money is valuable only
if it helps one to get little more
fun out of life.
We all want security, of course.
Yet fer most of us, the measure of
security which We get is apt to de-
pend pretty largely on forces over
which we have no control what
ever. We can save for rainy day
as valorously as we please, but if
econimic maladjustment sends us
whole succession of cloudbursts the
best umbrella we buy will be mad
equate.
Meanwhile, the money we get is
paid for by hard work. What do

SOCIAL SECURITY?
{ alameda Times-Star)

Bruce Barton, congressman from New
York and nationally known writer and
advertising executive, solidified his posi-
ton as a constructive statesman as key
note speaker at the recent New York
state convention. Barton, a newcomer
in the field of government, makes the
point that the social security tax as it
now operates is nothing more than addi-
tional taxes on income and wages to pay
current federal expenses. He would have
a pay-as-we-go plan. The Wagner act
must be revised if the best interests of
industry and labor are TO be served and
extravaganza must be stopped if the
country is to be removed from danger
of bankruptcy, he declared.
