THIUHDAV, DM KMHKK IB. !-
A CITY'S Jl'feT DESEHTS.
Thonia, Molt Osborne, at one time
warden of Sing Sing prison,. 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.

Wednesday. 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. Instead
of being sponsored by the Alutnnao.
as heretofore, the University has tak
en charge of the afi'uir, which prom
ises to be one of the best ever held.
Ml coast colleges will be represent
ed, and an exceptioually luge num
ber are expected to attend.
Oregon now boasts of n numerous
publication. Other leadluc; colleges
