Nt-w fork, known all ovor the country lor hl expert knowledge of crime and ciliniiialii, came Into a mlddln weatern city lo give a lecture at in City Club. The city was undergo ing a frenzied effort to clean up Im police force and Ha unsavory record for banditry. Mr. Oauorne'a n-marka to a reporter on tun general tubji'd of police efficiency are worth read lnlg and taking to heart In every city, town and hamlet: "Naturally 1 don't know anything of your local Biluallon. But I am surprised that your police chief hasn't power to bounce members of his department, if he sees til. It's had in lis elfect ou Ihe morale of the department if the chief can't do o. What would you think of a mana ger of a store who couldn't bounce an employee suspected or uisnonusiy even if the mauitgeV could prove II'.' Or what would you thing of a fac tory manager who couldn't dismiss a foreman who had proved nunseir unsatisfactory without the foreman bavtng recourse to Borne one over the manager's head? "But, after all, It's been my ob servation that every police force la just as good as Its community de serves." When one considers Ihe large number of decent cilitens In a com munity, and the comparatively very small nunilwr of wrong-doers, 11 seems like putting It rather strong ly to say that these decent citizens get, In a bad police force and a reign of terror, Just what they de serve. Hut it is true In a demo cracy the "Man Higher Up" Ihe final authority, the ultimate arbiter as to whether government shall be good or bad, safe or terrifying, de cent or Induccntts the plain, every day citizen and taxpayer. It is his Ignorance of local conditions, his In difference as lo the quality uf his public servants, his laziness, that make conditions bad. The good for ces always outnumber the evil, but usually the good ones are too Indo lent to join the ranks of fighters for good conditions. and there Is an Influx of 1.000.000 aliens next year, it may be expected that no Iohs than 30 per cent of it will be cancelled by diparlurus from this country, leaving a net Immigra tion of only 700.000. This is not an argument against curtailment of Immigration. Kestriclion is neces sary. If American ideals and oppor tunities are to be maintained. Hut there is less reason for getting hy sterical about It than some agita tors have imagined. Hog Strays Away But Soon Returns Hoks will wander away. In fact. It B(jt;imi to he 'the nature of the Ijeantt to seek other wallows, when ever a break appears in the fence hut to have a dead hog, after he bait been drestted, or uudroHsed, which ever way you want to put It, wan der a way from the house and then come hack a lew hours later and bang himself bak on the Helfaame hook is enough to make a man dream dreams of moonshine, hut such was Ihe experience yesterday of J i in Allen, a resident of Perdue. Mr. Allen called Oeputy .Sheriff Hop kins by telephone yesterday morning and informed that a flue drew sod hog, which had been killed the day before had been stolen. Mr. Allen had killed Ihe hog and placed It carefully under cover, but upon go lug to get it yesterday found that it had dltsuppearcnl. During the telephone conversation with the d puty Hherllf several telephone re ceivers on the hue were heard to click, indicating litt neighbors were "liHtuning In," and by the time the sheriff arrived (he hog was back on his hook as sleek and neat as ever. It Is (jiille evident t hut the person who took the bog Jieaid the conver sation and became ulruid of the con .seguences in the event of discovery and decided to return Ihe porker. MODKI. TltAFKK I.AWH. The meeting of th Executive Committee of the International Traf fic Officers' Association, held in Cleveland the week of December 6, has been of interest to both the walking and the riding public, for Its purpose was the establishment of a practical and uniform code of truf lie laws for the United States and Canada. Kvery community h:is iti. own provisions to reguluTo traffic. Every stute had its measures. Hut the difficulty has been that many of these were perfect and conflicting within particular status, while what held in one state did not bold In another. The difference between United Slateg laws and Canadian lawn also is most confusing. The delegates who attended the confer ence are hopeful that the laws they d rafted may be accepted by t he states generally ns well as by Cana da, and became (lie universal code for regulating road traffic In both countries. If a satisfactory set of laws can be established, tt will do much to elimi nate confusion and accident. Such a code could be made the basis of safety instruction in every public school of the country. Thus future generations would not suffer from the Ignorance, indifference aud un certainty which have been taking sucb toll of life aud limb. The present session of Congress la so short that many important lnoasures perforce will remain un touched. The Sheppard Towner bill will not be am ng the missing if th League of Women Voters has any thing to pay about it. The aim ol thlB bill Is to provide funds and set lip machinery lo give medical care to needy mothers and children, espe cially those lu remote rural districts, who would otherwise be without It In order that every mother and child who needs aid may have it now. Congress must pass the bill this year. More than half the state legislatures in Ihe I'niou hold ses slons in January, llM, and no! again until i:rj;t. I'nder ihe bill any state wishing to benefit by it must appropriate an nmotint of moncv equal lo that provided by th federal government. If the bill is passed after a stale legislature has adjourned, It will mean (hat for two long years Ihe brothers and children of that stale will be without medical care which otherwise they might have had. The nation has no more vita) concern than care for t h health of lis mothers and little chfl dren. Thin bill should be passed promptly, (hough ot hers watt, and woman's associations generally may well see what they can do to speed Its passing. In discussions of the American immigration problem, emigration is usually overlooked. It plays an Im portant part. There are people (ear inig this country all the time as well as people entering it, and some times the proportion of the former Is surprisingly large. Last year, for Instance, while .M.J.OO0 persons of all kinds, clttxens and aliens, arrived In the Tutted Stales, 4116,000 per sons departed. Last year was an abnormal year, to be sure. Hut In the normal years when there Is a net gain Instead of a net loss, there Is usually an emigration amounting to one-fourth or one-third of the Immigration. Thus, It Is estimated. It rcut predictions ar fulfilled. v A HOLM) TIIK TOW.V ' Visit In Ashland Mrs. J. K. McWilliuius left lust night for AkMuiuI to hm ml a few days visiting with relullves.

Thursday and Friday of tl.ls week, term examinations will be on in full force. Considerable of the mid night oil hug beeu burned during the past week. The examina t.ona held during the next three days will, decide the fate of about 10 UU students. It it hoped, however, for the benefit of those who have negli gently lagged in their studies thai the faculty will take the Christmas spirit of "giving" au extra point or two In order that they may have another chance. Too many canoeing 1 attics, dances and other "regular" courses iu the curriculum always have their Inevitable result. The proposed honor system in the School of Commerce, ulthougli rec ently rejected by a majority vote on jccouitt of one or two unfavorable I ofnls, has caused a Btrong sentiment against the cheat, aud there is no doubt but what the system will be ultimately accepted, and become a strong factor in Ihe raising of au even higher standard In the Univer sity, putting Oregon ou a level lu scholarship with other Universities, like Harvard and Yale. ' Aside from the examinations every thing is centered around the coming holidays and Incidental festivities. Very few students expect to remain here during the holidays, and by Sunday, the campus will have be come deserted. The Annual Christ mas Rail, will be held In the .Multno mah Hotel. December 2Sth.
