Editorials

Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
AT THE election in November,
the people of Oregon will vote
- on an amendment that, if adopted,
would be revolutionary in its ef
fects. Its purpose may be under
stood quite clearly from the title
under which it will appear on the
y ballot:
"State cabinet form of govern
ment constitutional amendment.
Making the governor, secretary of
state and treasurer the only elec
tive state officers; all others, ap
pointive by the governor; creating
nine new state departments r abol
ishing all other offices."
yHAT is to Bay, the governor,
secretary of state and state
treasurer would be the only state
officers elected by the people. All
others would be appointed by the
governor.
The nine new departments
created would be: Agriculture, la
bor and industry, financial admin
istration, commerce, education,
public works and domain, health
and public welfare, police and mili
tary affairs and legal affairs.
The whole existing structure of
state government would be abol
ished, and rebuilt irom the ground
up according to this plan. Every
thing we have in the way of state
government would be thrown
away, and an entire new start
made.
ERE is a proposal that is
about as sweeping as anything
could be. It involves wiping the
llate clean, and starting all over.
f)ur whole system of state govern
ment, if this amendment is adopt
ed, will go on the scrap heap, and
we shall he face to face with the
task of making another system of
state government to take its place.
This writer is not afraid of new
experiments, and holds no brief for
the old merely because it is old.
But here is something- to think
about:
It we are going to throw away
everything we have and start out
anew, we must have leadership of
a vory high order If we .are to en
tertain any hopes of ultimate suc
cessleadership equal in quality
to that which we have had in the
great enterprise of scrapping, our
old roads and building a new sys
tem of modern highways to take
their place.
nlainlv
. , -
and frankly, sees no prospect
at the present moment in Oregon
of leadership of the high and un
selfish quality that would be abso
lutely essentlnl If an experiment
of such a revolutionary nature is
to be made a success. So, without
hesitation, he advises voting "no"
on the cabinet, form of govern
ment amendment.
JUST one moi-e word: Defeating
this proposnl this fall doesd't
mean that it can NEVER como up
again. There will be other election
years. It may be that In other
jears we shall HAVE the prospect
of adequate leadership which at
present, in this writer's judgment,
we lack.
In that event, we might safely
undertake an enterprise of such
magnitude as throwing overboard
our whole system of state govern
ment and replacing It with a
wholly new system.
The time is clearly unfavorable
now, for the reasons that have
been given. So let us defer this
project to Bome time in the future
when the chances for Its success
will be better.

Victim Gives Last Message
Before Death ; Accident
Clearly Shown by
Investigation.
Francis L. Ackley, 35, Salem
bollermaker, was accidentally shot
and killed Saturday by his 11-year-,
old son, Clifford, while hunting
near Skelly, about 10 miles west of
Yoncalla. The boy, climbing np a
steep hillside behind his father,
was using his gun for a cane,
carrying it by the barrel. The rifle
was accidentally discharged, the
bullet striking the father In the
hip and ranging up into the body,
causing death within a few
minutes. Help was not secured un
til several hours later, and the
bsdy was not brought out until
after dark Saturday night.
Mr. Ackley had hunted in this
same region the previous week,
and broutght two of his sons, Ed
ward, 12, and Clifford, with him
Friday for a week-end trip. They
drove to the end of the Skelly
road and slept In the car until Sat
urday morning, when they walked
to the Ed Sefton cabin, about a
mile from the road. They had
breakfast there with several of the
residents of the vicinity who had
gathered for a hunt, and while Ed
ward remained behind to wash the
dishes and clean . up the cabin;
Ackley and Clifford started out for
a short hunt. They had gone about
a mile and a half from the sabin
when the accident occurred.
Safety Catch Worn
The rifle used by Clifford as an
aid in walking up the hill was an
old-style .44-40, with a worn safety
catch. Apparently the catch was
loosened by the constant jarring of
the butt of the gun on the ground,
resulting In the discharge of the
fatal bullet.
Ackley lived for a few minutes.

into the results of flogging as

CHURCHES SPEAK ON
CENTRALIA TRAGEDY
Business Men, Veterans and Court
Held to Blame With I. W. W.
For Affair of 1919.
(Associated Press Leased Wire)
NEW YORK, Oct, 13. In a re
port issued by the Federal Coun
cil of Churches here yesterday.
tnree national church bodies re
ported after an extensive investi
gation, six Industrial Workers of
the World: serving long sentences
for the Armistice day killings at
Centralia, Wash., fn 1919, were
paying the penalty for a tragedy in
which they were by no means
alone guilty. The report made no
recommendations.
The study was issued by the
Federal Council of Churches, the
national Catholic welfare confer
ence and the central conference of
American rabbis.
Blame was attached to the ef
forts of Centralis business men to
oust the I. W. W.'s which led 'to
the clash, to leaders ot the Ameri
can Legion for allowing legion
naires to become Involved "prob
ably by design." and to the judge,
whose imposition of long sen
tences was said to "thwart" the
attempts of the jurors at "rough
justice." The J. W. W.'s in turn,
were severely criticised for a t
course of action which made
"bloodshed and even loss of life
likely.
Investigation of the killing of
the four parading ex-soldiers, the
lynching of one I. W. W. after
their hall had been wrecked, and
the subsequent trial and the con
viction of seven men of second de
gree murder was made at the re
quest of church bodies in Washington..-,

'OF ROMHHSO WOOD
The beautiful home belonging to
Mr. and Mrs. Romanzo Wood, lo
cated just outside the city limits
of Roseburg, on the hill beyond
the end of Winchester street, was
totally destroyed by a spectacular
fire yesterday afternoon. The fire
started on the roof near the flue,
but iurtbiiity to secure water at
once " permitted the flames tu
reach all parts of the structure be
fore anything could be done to
stop their progress. Most of the
furniture, however, was saved.
The fire had just gained a good
start ou the roof when it was dis
covered and an alarm sounded.
The fire department responded, al
though the property is not inside
the city, but it was necessary to
run out Beveral hundred yards of
hose from the Winchester street
hydrant up the hill to the burning
house. The hydrant pressure prov
ed inadequate to force water
through the long length of hose,
and several minutes delay result
ed while the pumper was being
moved back to the hydrant and
coupled in. When the pumper was
started the pressure necessary to
force the water up the hill was bo
great that the hose was broken at
the coupling, resulting in still fur
ther delay, so that the house was
doomed before water was secured.
Only tha outer walls were left
standing after the flames had been
extinguished.
Men who responded to the
alarm assisted In carrying out the
fiirniture, and brought out most of
th household goods.
The fire loss Is partially cover
ed by insurance.
Modern crime, he said, was con
ducted by "fearless men" whose
spectacular methods were superior
to the defense of the police forces.
"We pride ourselves dpoh the
success of democracy," Mr. Wick
ersham said. "Vet crime is ram
pant and every daily newspaper
spreads before us tales of incrcas
ing lawlessness."
Sterner Laws Needed
"Very slowly we are coming to
realize." he added, "that some
thing more than legislative fiat is
necessary to make good citizens:
That all the threatened punish
ments legislative imagination can
devise will not compel rebellious
human natures to abide by rules
of conduct that run counter to
their wishes, their tastes, their

nounced at Washington, D. C, last
night he expected to return
"promptly to Los Angeles to face
and refute any charges which may
be there, fire department officials
here continued investigation of a
fire In his ofticos a week ago.
Major Cannon, who Is sought in
Los Angeles and San Beruurdluo

suance of bad checks totalling
$1640 in connection with promo

charges would be "auswered satis

cause I am one of the sons-of Bish

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 13. The
supreme court today refused to
pass nn the constitutionality of the
Jones 5 and 10 . law providing
heavy maximum penality for pro-
ni Dillon violators.
The validity of the law was I
challenged by Hugh McKlvogue
and William J. Brown, who had
been convicted of violating the dry
laws at'St. Joseph, Mo.
The men were charged in the In
dictment with selling a small
quantity of whiskey. McKlvogue
was sentenced to the penitentiary
for one year and one month, and
Brown, who was also convicted of
maintaining a nuisance under the
prohibition law, was sent to the
penitentiary lor four years and
lined $250.
The convicted men contended
the tria; ju:ge had unlawfully tak
en upon himself to decide the
meaning of phrases used in the
Jones law, such as what in his dis
cretion constituted "casual or
slight violations," "habitual sales,"
and what were "attempts to com
mercialize violations of the law."
It was inwisted that the delega
tion to the trial Judge of authority
to classify the offense and to de
termine the punishment was in
violation of the federal constitu
tion which required that congress
should classify offenses and pre
scribe the punishment.
In refusing to review the case
the court made no explanation. Its
notion, however, was bused, it Is
understood on the ground that the
case did not properly present the
Issue of constitutionality.
The question can be brought be
fore the court again since the re
fusal to review today did not
mean that the court is unwilling
to pass upon tho constitutionality
of the statute.
