Th one gratifying feature of the
dVeruKslon about th condition of com
merce undoubtedly I that It promise!
some definite result. There haa been
n abundanc of general comment and
criticism, but now representative! of
commerce aeem to appreciate that there
la a distinct lark which must bo sup
plied by some constructive measure.
The wonder la that tht demand haa
been ao lone deferred. Our Inslltp
tlona are peculiarly calculated to bring-
about the condition with which we are
now confronted.
We hire made much of tha check
system In our constitution, but wa hare
been unmlmlful of the fact that those
checks apply almost solely to political
power. Commercial development haa
been permitted to proceed practically
without Federal control, and really the
only provision In the constitution for
the effective exercise of auch control
t.i lo he found In the authority of Con
gress to regulate Interstate commerce.
(stsBsaere la roast Attlfaee.
The antl'-trust law waa tbe first
check provided against the ebue.es
which bad Inevitably resulted from
auch a system. I'nfortunately com
merce. Instead of accepting; this check
In g-ood faith, assumed that the law
waa Invalid, or If vstl.l would not be
enforced, and In this attitude commerce
waa unhappily encouraged by coun
selors, who failed to recognlx that the
development of our Industries bad as
sumed a proportion which gave them
a quael-publle character.
Postponement of compliance neces
sarily tnvtted more aggressive meas
ures. The wiser course would hava
been to bow to the law. and to sug
gest corresponding measures to relieve
from unnecessary hardships. When
thoee who are most familiar with the
practical difficulties refuse or fall to
uga'st a proper relief, they may al-
aya depend that some remedy will
be supplied by others who are neces
sarily lrsa familiar with the conditions
ind the difficulties.
Hesertelasr Larklag la ayateea.
Now tt at the anil-trust law has been
construed and that the determination
lo enforce that law haa been made
clear, every one must appreciate that
something l larking In the system.
Of course, we hear from those Who are
more strenuous than ever In their de
mand for the repeal or amendment of
:he law. Just because It haa beeji In
terpreted and Is to be enforced. In my
opinion, these critics are unmindful of
Ihe condition with which we have to
leal.
It woulj be unwise to repeal the
law. and It would In any event be Im
oosxlbl. To my rr.ind. the hetter course

President Josselyn Tells Coast Claim

Policy Beats Litigation.
Application of the golden rule, "do

declared B. 8. Josselyn, president of
the Portland Railway. Light Power
Company, yesterday In addreaslng the
executive committee of the Paclflo
Coast Claim Agents' Association.
"It haa been my theory," said Mr.
Josselyn. "that personal damage claim
against the railways can only be han
dled by an absolute regard for the re
sponsibilities Involved. If you settle
every case on the theory of the golden
rule, to do to others aa yon would
hare them do to you." you will create
In the public mind an Impression of
fairness and Justice: you will procure
a aettlement more often ad less law
suits. If a transportation company la
responsible for the Injury, then. I say.
a full and complete aettlement should
be made.
"I want" you men to take this fact
under your hata and think it over. It
has been the policy of the company I
represent to deal fairly with the pub
lic In all personal InJ-.iry cases, and
It has never endeavored to shirk the
responsibilities resulting from a care

Optimistic Is the view taken of ex

throughout the country by Portland
men who are In touch with the finan
cial and Industrial situation nationally.
Satisfaction Is not only expressed with
prevailing conditions, but the same au
thority very generally declares the out
look for 11J Is even more encourag
ing. - I.ocal financier admit that anti-trust
legislation and tinkering with tbe tar
iff this year bad a deterrent effect
on the business activities of the coun
try for a time. The harmful effects of
that agitation, it is agreed, have been
abated and business Is gradually re
suming a normal state.
Plaaarlal Rrla Tightened.
Demoralized conditions have been
materially revived through the action
of the financial Interests of the country
about one year ago In the adoption of
policy not to advance "money Indis
criminately for speculative purposes.
The result haa been, that capital was
advanced only for the legitimate needs
of the business of the country. This
has had the effoct of bringing the peo
ple to their aenaea and haa placed the
business of the country on a decidedly
mnr, substantial basis.
Constructive legislation by the next
Congress for the settlement of the cor
poration problem and further legisla
tion creating a sound monetary sys
tem that will respond to the demands
of business, are recognised aa desirable

There Is a difference cf opinion !-

election will hava next year. There la
growing conviction, however, that
the National campaign will not Inter
pose a serious check on the business
activities of the country In 1812.

Already the bugaboo of "Presidential

BOTH SIDES POWERLESS
Decisive Battle of Revolution. Im

That Uncle Sam Will Send
Troops to Scene of War.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 18. Affairs in
China apparently have reached such a
point that neither the rebels nor the Im
perialists are able to check acta of
lawlessness. Advices to the State De
partment today report that brigandage
Is on the increase In various parts of
the empire. Business Is reported In a
critical condition and finances In very
bad shape.
Rear-Admiral Murdock, commandant
of the American naval forces In China,
reports that Nanking Is cut off from
communication with the outside world
by railroad ami telegraph and that the
natives are leaving In disorder. All the
missionaries except three are reported
to have left Nanking for Wu-Hu. There
are no disorders in Che Foo, but many
robberies have been committed in the
vicinity.
Battle Impend at Nanking.
Later advices from Nanking, where
the decisive battle of the revolution is
thought to be Impending, are to the
effect that all Is In readiness on both
sides. The naval officers report that
It will be extremely difficult to protect
foreign property Inside the walls, be
cause It Is so widely scattered. The
revolutionary forces are still concen
trating. . . .
They now hold all the territory in
the vicinity of Nanking. The principal
advance of the revolutionaries on Nan
king is from the direction of Cbin
Klang. The advance guard Is made up
of trained troops who are well
equipped.
The imperial warships which were
captured by the revolutionists, or sur
rendered voluntarily after the fighting
at Hankow, are reported to be lying at
Chin Klang.
Stability of Cabinet Doubted.
The American collier Abarenda has
arrived at Shanghai, with supplies for
th American warships in the Tangtse
River.
Minister Calhoun haa grave doubts
as to the stability of the new Cabinet
formed by Tuan Shi Kal. The arrival
of Yuan Shi Kal In Pekln has done
much to steady the situation, but the
government Is in need of financial
help.
Just who is to press the button
which will start the American Chi
nese expedition from Manila could not
be determined today. The War De
partment officials said the troops could
be dispatched at a moment's notice and
at the State Department it Is pointed
out that some arrangements must be
made for a commissariat; . that the
troop could not land in China, without
provision for food and shelter. There
would seem to be no doubt In any
quarter that the expedition will be
sent.

SPOKANE, Wash., Nov. 18. (Spe

Inspection In schools and religious edu
cation In schools. I am in favor of
quarantine, sanitation and hygiene; a
policy of construction and reconstruct

MIb Helen Cramer, a Christian

that she would accept the nomination

and detailed several innovations which
she would favor if elected to place on
the Board.
"When I see a 14-year-old girl

favor compulsory medical Inspection.
she declared. "Neither do I believe in
compulsory vaccination for smallpox
any more than I would for diphtheria,

law.
"I am opposed to compulsory medi

Why are allopaths only appointed for

LOS ANGELES. Nov. 18. (Special.)
Mayor Dudley, of Santa Monica, Nat
C. Goodwin's trustee, today received a
copy of the agreement made between
the marrying comedian and Edna Good
rich by which the latter Is to receive
$65,000 clear, in consideration of all
her claims on the Goodwin estate,
Goodwin is to pay all expenses. In

bill at the Ansonla, on account of which
an - effort was recently made to at

Monica.
Miss Goodrich must have the $65,000
cash in hand by December 15. or the
agreement is nullified and Dudley ad
mits that he will have to sell a part or
the estate here to raise the money or
mortgage the Lafayette apartment-
house in San Francisco or the valuable
citrus grove in Orange County, both of
which are Included in the trust mar
riage agreement. The case here is to
be dismissed within a week.
POUND LOAF IS PROPOSED
Ordinance Regulating Weight of
Bread to Be Introduced.
A loaf of bread In Portland will have
to weigh at least a pound, if the City
Council adopts an ordinance which has
been drafteu by Councilman Burgard
and which will be Introduced tomorrow.
Investigation has shown that the size
of a loaf of bread In i'ortland now
may vary from 10 to 14 ounces. It is
said no bakery Is turning out a 16
ounce loaf.
The proposed ordinance will require
tbe full pound exclusive of any wrap
per. It will be permissible for a bakery
to turn out smaller loaves than the
legal loaf by wrapping the bread and
stamping it with the exact number of
ounces and the name of the manufac
turer. That the bakeries will oppose the
proposed ordinance is considered certain.

terday on'Multnomah Field, before 8000
wildly excited fans, the largest crowd
that ever attended a game of football
in the Northwest, the purple and gold
made a smear of the fair Eugene es
cutcheon that will go down in history
as the most unreserved pummeling of
the age. Incidentally, Washington
wins the Northwestern championship
for the fourth consecutive campaign.
The score was 29 to S. and while
the husky Northerners blended luck
with two of the touchdowriB, the fig
ures Just about tell the candid truth
of an open-and-shut case. Oregon's
team was outclassed In strength,
strategy, knowledge of the new game
and execution.
Coach Warner's lads hung on with
the tenacity of a fighting bulldog, but
the puzzling shifts evolved by Lawyer
Coach Doble, the scintillating smart
ness, and the map and vigor of the as
sault, swept the lemon-yellow defense
aside like so much deadwood.
Oregon's Line Torn Apart,
It was the visitors' game from the
sound of the whistle. Within eight
minutes of play Washington scored its
first touchdown after marching the
oval nearly 60 yards down the gridiron
with an amazing versatility of attack.
Mucklestone, who punched his way
Into many a paragraph, shone with the
luster of the 8024-karat Cullinane spark
throughout this and all subsequent
periods. His was the honor of the
first touchdown after a four-yard
plunge. -
Oregon rallied bravely In the face
of overwhelming odds and tried to stem
the fierce horde battering at its doors
but to no avail. Warner's men were
literally helpless. Wand, Mucklestone
and Sparger ripped off great chunks of
sawdust expanse at every jump.
Washington, too, was a stone wall on
defense, and only on two accaslona
did Oregon have a chance to score,
both by placements. Captain Main
sent his second kick squarely over the
crossbar from the 25-yard line Just be
fore the end of the first half.
Coyle Ontklcks JLatonrette.
Oregon was also sadly outklcked.
Quarterback Latourette, the sensational
Oregon field general, who was battling
for All-Conference honors with Cap

tendon. But his toe-work was miser

On one or two occasions the pigskin
did not go more than 10 yards, Wash

largely abetted by a stultified offering
that traveled only 18 yards when La

yard chalk mark.
