HAYS THE MIST MISTAKEN The Mist has received the follow, ins letter from Don. H. Upjohn, sec retary to the governor of the State ot Oregon: State of Oregon, Executive Depart, ment. Salem. Sept. 28, 1920. Editor Mist, St. Helens, Oregon. Dear Sir: My atention has been directed tc two editorial references In your is sue of September 17th to the pardon of John A. Pender, in which I con sider you do the Governor an injust ice. You have quoted the Governor at length In language which he never used, but which was taken from the report of the State Parole Board on the Pender case. Copy of such re port is being attached and a notation is made showing the language lit question, which was used by the :r.srd and not by the Governor. You Msc state that the Governor quote Judge Eakin, which is Incorrect, as he made no reference whatsoever to Judge Eakin in his statement. I am writing this on my own initiative and nu-rely to correct an error. At no time to my knowledge has the Go.enu:r ever made any statement from which it could be inferred that Pender was railroaded to the Pern tertiary Tho statement of the Parole Board, which is signed by myself and others, and which you fasten upon the Gov ernor, was made by the Board inde pendently, in t at the Governor's dic tation and net with his knowledge at th- time it was prepared. As a mem l..r of the Enard I wish to say that w have no springy (or the same. ery tiuly yours, DON H. UPJOHN. Secretary to the Governor. The report of the Parole Board of which Mr. Upjohn was a member was attached to the letter from Mr. Up john. A portion of one paragraph said: "John Pender was arrested at a time when public sentiment In Co lunhia county was at white heat." This statement was credited to the gi-vemor. It should have been cred ited or dis-credited to the Pardoi. Iir.nrd. Our readers will note that Mr. T!p . Jnlin states, as a member of the Par don Board "we have no apoogy to mane." So far as we can learn, no apology has been asked and it seemt, strange that "apology" Is uppermost in the mind of Mr. Upjohn. In view of the report he, as a mem ber of the Pardon Board, made it would appear that twenty-four men who comprised the two juries which jassed on the Pender case, should maku an apology and the peoplo of Columbia county who were at "white lie.it" should also make an apology. The Mist yet contends that state ments emanating from the governor or his secretary relative to the Pen ".er case were misleading and that the people of Columbia county were misrepresented. importance. The Washington papers are the most valuable. They include docu ments written and received by tin first President, the reports from the secret service agents during the Hev olflllon, letters from Kocliauibeaus and state papers. The John Paul Jones papers fill eight volumes of the special kind of letter file in which the national col lection is arranged. There are thirty five volumes containing the proceed ings of the commission formed for inquiring into the losses, services ..nd claims of American loyalists. An other interesting Colonial relic Is of much earlier date, the record of. the Virginia Company covering the years ot 1619 to 1624. N'ew England Is well "represented. Mayor Peter Force of Washington sold his great collection to the Gov, ernment. The West Is represented by the literary remains of School craft, secrfjary to Gen. Lewis Cass, and some pipers and lottem of Cass himself. Uncle Sam has also the letter books ot President Monroe kept while he was our ni'nit tci at London, the pa pers of Gen John Sullivan, the letter liuoks of Oen. Nathaniel Greeue and the pa port of Col Ephraim Baine. . Senator Harding, observation leads us to believe, has created a strong j Impression of earnestness, sincerity and a high sense of duty. His utter- nnces are marked by a studied mod-' eration; he exhibits no arrogance of. opinion, and has made no extra vu , gant promises ot a mlllenlum to be , created by proclamation; he sks rather to express the national spirit h-.n to Impose, a doctrine of poll'.lca: , infallibility. And there is as unmis-l takably a growing view that Gover-' nor Cox is a shifty opportunist, superficial in thought, reckless In appeal nnd irresponsible in state ments. Philadelphia North American.

Now the social welfare experts and reformers in general should see Oiat a crusade is started rgainst the man-' ufacture and sale of the dangerous toy balloon, and that a commission is established to insure enforcement of tho prohibitory statue. That is the way we are doing things now. Eugene Guard. Some eastern profossor is looking for somebody to mako a trip to the moon In a skyrocket. Might consult Cox the morning after November 2 on that-skyrocket feeling, nnd there by obviate the necessity of shooting ome poor cuss through space to get the thrills. Cox says that his Interest In tht cause of education "will never lag." It shouldn't. A better education would have helped him a lot. The check that Bryan has given to the Cox campaign is much moro effectlvo than Wilson's. PUBLIC FORUM HAVE PATIENCE A party came into our office Sun day and complained as to the detour from Honeyman around through Houlton. It "was so much longer" he said. We have heard other com plaints on the lower highway as to detours. A few years ago we remember that when going through West's Lane near scappoose, it seemed to us like ford ing the Columbia river, and we can also remember that two years ago it was practically impossible to go via auto or team to Astoria. Several years ago, we couldn't reach Itainier except by train or boat. Between Portland and Astoria there is not to. exceed 10 miles of detom and the detour reads are much better than the main roads of several years ago. It takes time to build hard surfaced roads and if the autoist wilt stop to consider that each time an auto is allowed to pass over new con struction while such construction Is unaer way, mere WHO MAKES THE LAWS Editor of the Mist. I noticed an article In the Itr.lnlor Review and the Clntsk.-.nie Chief of last week as to "Too Much Leelsla-I I'lon" and I aree with the pr.pers r.a iu mis. i During the past six years two of the three Representatives from this county to the Legislature have been lawyers. If "Fewer and better laws" are needed It seems to mo that It would be wise to send a business man or a farmer to the Legislature In stead of sending more lawyers to make moro laws. Many Oregon counties like Colum bia county have been represented b 1 lawyers, and possibly thr.t Is ore of i the reasons why we have so many laws. It has been said that tho law yers need the laws more than do tho -f-'ilo. Being a candidate for the 4glslc ture myself. I feci thr-t I owe to the voters of this county a statement wltn j -eferenco to my desire to represent them. 1 The State of Oregon for a prei many years through Its Hoard of Control has been assisting in the Is suing of bonds for the development of nearly every section of the State of Oregon with the exception of tlif loggd off land districts, which Is of most vital Importance to us. It was 'or the purpose of securing state aid for the cut over and logged off land that prompted mo to become a cana. i date for the Legislature.
