Nations like ' China and India that lead a more placid existence and do not think ; so much about commercial success, have in the main been able to : avoid wars. But a country that has ambitions for advancement, must necessarily strive for efficiency, which involves the spirit of com : mercial rivalry and competition. But along with that spirit of emulation there needs to be a very keen sense of justice. The man who has a high sense of honor is just as anxious in : his daily life to avoid doing injustice to others, as he is to secure justice for himself. He will frequently give up some disputed '. point in order to keep other people satisfied. A man who takes that point of view rarely has any bitter controversies with other ; people. They recognize his fairness and they can get along with : him. The firriiniilnns noint of view is mostly absent in international " affairs. Statesmen and politicians have felt they must grab for - all they can get for their own country, with little regard to the rignis or viewpoint 01 uuier. peupies. xne recent, wusiuukiuii tun - ference achieved a success because the American people took a : Miguel jjuBiuvu uuu wcio is uiiug w aavuiicc miciiidtjivito w icvvir h, vuv lu. unci COb.

The petitions are directed against ronunlm-lnners Fred O. Uuchtel and l-'red A. Vllliams. and the reason as signed for renuestlnc an election for their recall la the recent decision of the comml.slon In the Paciflo Tele phone & Telearanh case. No petitions have been presented Wllh reference lo 11. 11. Corey, the third member of the commission who also participated In the decision, and tt Is understood that there will be Bone. According to the promoters of the . recall movement the petitions asking for the recall of Commissioner Wil liams contain the number of signa tures required by law, bnt the peti tions presented with reference to Commissioner Uuchtel are short more than 1 000. The promoters ex press themselves as confident, how over, of securing enough additional slgnntures to bring the total up to the legal requirement. The Telegram, although It consid ers ins piiDllc service commission erred In the matter of the telephone decision, has no patience whatever witn the Idea of the recall The pulillo service commission dur ing tbe years 1920 and 1D21 has de cided more than GOO cases of which the telephone case Is only one. There- lore The Telegram believe that on the basis of the general average the recall in this Instance ii unwarrant ed. Moreover, the recall as we take It Is an extraordinary procedure only to he resorted to In rases of rxtrkor-l (Unary unfitness or of actual mal feasance tn office. Such la not the condition In the present Instance. None of the com missioners are seriouslr accused of malfeasance and past records do not show any particular unfitness for of fice. To those dissatisfied with Ihe re cent decision there Is available an appeal to the courts of tho stste and anvnne desiring to appeal from the telephone decision has et thirty days In whlrh to do so. This to our mind Is the logical and orderly meth od of procedure for those seeking redress In the present case. The test of the success of demo cratic government comes not when public service commissions and the court glvs popular decisions, but then popnlai .eaetttm to extremely unpopular decisions U GOOD tVENINQ FOLKS V d. and a certain feller Who domicile on Cass at.

William Andrew Booth,1,, a brother of State Highway Commissioner Booth, for many years prominent as a central Oregon stockman and banker, died here last niRbt at tbe home of his daughter-in-law, Mrs. L. A. Booih. Robert A. Booth was notified yester day of the approaching; end, and left from his homo in Eugene at once. He arrived here too late, bowever. William A. uootn was born in 1849, In Iowa, and with three other children was Jbspught by his parents to tne Oregon country by way of the overland route in 1852. Tbe family settled on a homestead In Yamhill county, near Willamlna. As a young man, William A. Booth came to old Waaco county In. 1872, settling near Mitchell, in what is now Wheeler county, taking; up stock raising. Upon the organization of Crook 'county he was elected its sheriff, serving two terms, taking offlee the first time In 1890. He later moved to Prineville, and in 1902 waa elected county Judge, serving only a part term. When the Crook County bank was organised in 1J5 t Mr.- Booth was elected Its president, an office which he held until 1914. His first marriage was in 1877 to Mrs. Lucy Cary. 8he died in 19)5. Two children, a daugh ter, Mrs. Iva Price, who died in Eu gene five years ago, and a son. L. A. Booth, who died in The Dalles last winter, resulted from this union. Mr. Booth married Mrs. Anna Larson, of Alameda, in 1916, going to Prineville to live, in recent years their home was tn Roseburg. Last August Mr. Booth came to The Dalles to transact busluess, and while here was operated upon for carcinoma. Relief was but temporary, the disease having pro frressed too far, and he was taken to the home of his son to await the end. William A. Booth was a member of the Masonic and Knights of Pythias lodges, at Prineville. Besides Robert A. Booth, another brother, J. H Booth, of Roseburg, and four sisters, Mrs. 3. M. Hockett and Mrs. Bertha Peterson ot Portland, and Mrs. S. K. Belknap and Mrs. Cora Singleton of Roseburg survive. The body will be sent to Eugene for Interment in the family mausoleum.

For fourteen years, however. "Sev enth and Houston" has taken its toll of death fourteen killings In four teen years. Peaceful so far this year, police hope to maintain that record. In the halcyon days of John Bar leycorn a drink emporium held sway on the corner. Volsleadism saw a drug store supplant that "palace of merriment" and bloodshed.
