CAREGIES EPITAPH It la said that the epitaph to he Inscribed on Andrew 'Carnegie's tombstone is one written by the Iron master himself. It reads: "Here lies a man who- knew how to enlist In his service better men than himself." It Is snch a' bit of originality as might hare been expected from the quaintly humorous Scotchman an odd combination of modesty and egotism. And there is in It a good sermon on business administration, or any kind of administration, for that matter. To be aWe to pick out "better me than himself." and enlist them loyally. In his service Is not that the supreme gift of executive genius? No man engaged In a biz under taking can do everything himself. If he "tries to be It." he Is foredoom ed to break-down and failure. He must necessarily rely for the most part on others. The mose success ful he Is, the more of his work he baa done by other men. He picks out the right men and lets them "go to It." . "Mr. Carnegie's young men" have teeome proverbial. Charles Schwab was one of them. A dozen or more have made good in a big way, be cause they had the stuff In them and because Carnegie saw it and Cave them a chance to nse It Such an executive can afford to submerge himself In his organiza tion. "By their fruits ye shall know them," In business as In any other form of human activity.. The results spealt for themselves. When you find a great business functioning perfectly and succeeding notably, you may be perfectly sure that somewhere back of the visible human machinery Is some man big and sensible and wise enough to "enlist in his service better men than himself" not all-round better men, perhaps, but better men for the par ticular work required of them.

American sail ors on mine-sweeping duty In the North sea, probably will not crave fish when they get back home. When mines are exploded In the process of clearing out the barrage, thousands ot fish are killed. Oue ot the little subchasers in the fleet scoops up hundreds of pounds of them each evening when operations cease for the day, and distributes among the several vessels for food. The men enjoyed it tor a time but now hate the sight of fish. an article in a Portland paper refers to Medford as being In Doug las county. A' suburb of Roseburg? It's surprising how well Portland Is acquainted with Southern Oregon. The old fashioned pick-pocket Is with us. Upon retiring don't hang your pants In the hallway. Why pay a big gas bill when you can fry eggs on the pavement? THE GtllTY CAirgES Here are the causes of the high cost of living, as revealed in recent speeches in the house and senate at Washington: Inflation of currency, high taxes, devastation wrought by the Germans, Dig armament, proamnion, gov ernmental extravagance, automo biles, short working days, movies. milk bottles, wholesalers, retailers, commission men, trusts, profiteers and hoarders. Farmers, sanitary packages, livery wagons and telephones, mestlc servants. Housewives, mud roads, delay In ratifying the peace treaty. Take your choice. Nearly every thing is there, though a few details 'night be added.

Aug. 20. Three lives were sacrificed In the waters of the Columbia river yesterday by bathers who sought the cool comfort of the stream. Velma Davidsdn, of Gold Hill. Oregon, 19 years of age, gave her life In the attempt to rescue a com panion bather, Lloyd GotT of 1246 Union avenue, Portland, at Forest Hall, near Crown Point. Raymond F. Koessell, of 727 Hood Btreet, a student of the University of Oregon, was drowned while bathing In the river near Goble. Miss (Davidson and young Ooff both were employed at Forerft Hall. Yesterday afternoon they went for a swim about a half mile from the tavern in company with George Ixrd who lives at Bridal Veil. Lord and Miss Davidson could both swim, but Goff was inexperienced In the water. Lord, according to reports from Forest Hall, warned Goff to stay near the shore and close to his com panlons. They had left the water and were starting back to Forest Hall when Goff decided to take an other plunge. Before his companions realized his danger he had got In the current of the river and beyond his depth. wra nrst attempted to rescue him, but the struggling boy grasped him and almost pulled" him under. When Lord saw that they were both In danger, of drowning he managed to release himself and regained the shore. Despite warning from I.ord Miss Davidson then attempted a res cue. Goff clung to her, and the two went down together. As soon as help could arrive the bodies were recovered. A physician had been sumomned from Bridal Veil, hut It was Impossible to resus citate them. Miss Davidson is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. E.

' "But I will not weary you with ob vious examples. I will only venture to repeat that every element of nor mal life amongst us depends upon and awaits the ratification of the treaty of peace and alsq that we can not afford to lose a single summer's day by not doing all that we can to mitigate the winter's suffering, which, unless we find means to pre vent it, may prove disastrous to a large portion ot the world, and may, at Its worst, bring upon Europe con ditions even more terrible than those wrought by the war Itself. "Nothing I am led to believe. stands In the way ot the ratification of the treaty except certain doubts with regard to the meaning and Im plication of certain articles of the covenant of the league of nations. "The Monroe Doctrine is expressly mentioned as an understandlg which Is in no way to be Impaired or Inter fered with by anything contained In the covenant and the expression, re gional understandings like the Mon roe doctrine' was used not because any one of the conferees thought there was any c Am parable agreement anywhere in existence or In contem plation, but only because It was thought best to avoid the appearance ot dealing in such a document with the policy of a single nation'. Abso lutely nothing is concealed .In the phrase. "The right of any sovereign state to withdraw has been taken for granted, but no objection was made to making it explicit. "Article ten seems to me to con stitute the very backbone of the whole covenant. .Without It the league would be hardly more than an influential debating society. "The assent of the German assem bly at Weimar would have to be ob tained among the rest, and I must frankly say that I could only with' the greatest reluctance approach that assembly for permission to read the treaty as we understand It and as those who framed It quite certainly- understood. If the United States were to qualify the document Tn any way, moreover, d am confident from what I know of the many conferences and debates which accompanied the formulation of the treaty that our example would immediately be fbV lowed In many quarters In many In stances with serious reservations and the meaning and operative force of the treaty would, soon he clouded from one end of Its clauses to the other. "Pardon me, Mr. Chairman, If I have been entirely unreserved and plain spoken in speaking of the great matters we all have so much at heart, If excuse Is needed, T trust that the critical situation of affairs may serve as my justification.
