UHfOloal 8oolair ST. JOHNS REVIEW VOLUME 15 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1919. NUMBER 20 A Severe Arraignment No more disgraceful exhibition of a completes lack of considera tion for the public interests has ever been made than that which continued for several days prior to the expiration of the G5th Congress in the United States Sonato at Washington. With a total disregard for the needs and requirements of the country in its efforts to readjust itself to peace conditions, the Sonato devoted itself to vitupera tive attacks upon the policies of the President with relation to n subject which is not yet before the Senate, which is not yet in its final Btute, and which is not likely to be in a state for pre sentation to the Senate for some months. For years it has been a grow ing practice in both Houses o Congress at Washington to play ono measure ugainst another in order to obtnin political ndvnnt age, with a total disregard for the merits of tho bills'which are used as clubs to force action or prevent action on somo matter on which the members of one house or the other linvo deter- mined to innko a light. The operation of the govern -nient of United States is. so far as its internal supply bills are concerned, a strictly business proposition, and those measures should uminostionubly bo acted upon irt a buincssliko manner. in the present case, these bills ha yo no relationship whatsoever Well Fitted For Position to the so-called Lcuguo of Na tions, and yet they have been allowed to fail simply becauso of tho Bolf-sookimr political ambi tions of various men who have seen in the President's policies an opportunity to gain a political advnntago for thcmsolvea or for tho party to which jhey belong. It seems to Tho Drygoods man Hint tho lime has come in fact, that it arrived long since when business men should in sist and do so effectively that the business nffaira of tho government shall bo handled with a view to cfllciency and economy in tho operation of governmental functions. It is not tho intention or doairo of Tho Drygoodsman to c; press an opinion at tho present time, either for or against the proposed constitution of the Lcaguo of Nations, but to point out that there is absolutely no connection whatsoever between the appropriation bills authoriz ing tho oxpondituro of certain sums of money for tho conduct of tho government and tho proposed international constitu tion forming a leaguo of Nations whoso purposo shall bo to pro vent wnr. Whothor or not tho tentative Leaguo of Nations Constitution is a practical thing does not en ter into tho current issue at all. Tho present problem is as to whether tho domestic affairB of tho United States shall be handled in a businesslike fashion or not. Certain Senators have chosen to tako a courso showing that personal and political ad vantage is to them more import ant than the public interest, and in taking such attitude havo de monstrated beyond all question that they are not lit men to repre sent their states in the National Legislature so long as they utilize a domestic business bill as a club to force action on some thing which has no relationship thereto. Each and every one of them knows that when the times comes they will have opportunity to net upon the proposed League of Nations Constitution as they may elect, and they know per fectly well that whatever the majority of the Senate decides, under its treaty-making powers, will be accepted by the people.for in this country, up to the present time a least, the majority has been permitted to rule. Constructive criticism is at all times desirable, out there is no occasion at any time for destruc tive attacks which, while con demning, present no satisfactory substitute for or amendment of the measure in hand. Worse than this recent destructive attack, which offers no aid in bringing about a solution of tho international questions at issue, is the deliberate utilization as weaponB of the public supply bills which provide the necessary money for the operation of the various departments of the gov ernment. The effect is not only to delay the readjustment of bust Miss Laura G. Henry, the newly appointed secretary of tho St. Johns branch of the loung Womun's Christian Asso ciation, is entering upon her work with enthusiasm that as sures success. She has high hopes of increasing tho scope nnd usefulness of the branch and to that end is personally calling nt the homes of the various members of the four girls' clubs which constitute a largo part of the activities of the hrntich nnrl at the homes where there nro girls and young women who would bo vnluablo members and to whom the branch otters Roninl and recreational advantages that aro well worth while. up 10 wig timo oi tuKing over her new duties, Miss Henry was assistant to Dr. is. II. Pence, pastor of Westm nBtor Pronbv terian church, nnd before coming here she held a similar position with Dr. Pence in Detroit, where her work included girls' clubs unu tnc supervision of summer camps. She received her sne cial training in tho Presbyterian training school of Chicago. She is endowed w ith a cordlnl nnd gracious personality and already nas mauo a piaco for herself in tho hearts of tho nconlo of St. Johns. During the first vonr of il activity tho St. Johns branch had enlisted in its various clubs more thun 200 girls. There ore now four nourishing clubs, tho Rn'n bow girls, two Camp Fires and a group of employed girls also enjoy tho reading room, which ts well supplied with current magazines. The branch is housed in tho council chamber of what was the city hall beforn St. Johns became a part of Portland. Journul.

Commissioner Perkins intro duced last week at the council meeting a resolution to build a tunnel through the hill beginning n the vicinity of Mamuam Gulch. The tunnel would, if bored at this point, be in the neighborhood of seven-eights of a mile in length. The cost is estimated to be close on to $2, 000,000. Commissioner Perkins ntKoauceu tne resolution as a reconstruction measure for the orably it will be put up to the people to be voted on at the next election.
