DEMOCRATIC SHAM ECONOMY.
Secretary Meyer is justified in his
condemnation of the Democratic
House for declaring, in caucus,
against the construction of two bat
tle ships a year. "Even with a con
tinuous program of two battl? ships
annually," says the secretary, "the
United States would, a year hence, be
a little behind its present effective
strength, for in another year four of
our present battle ships will become
noneffective." The Democrats cut off
naval construction in the name of
economy. Very properly the secretary
calls this costly economy.
A little more of the same sort of
economy is shown in the cuts in the
army appropriation bill, by which
there will be a pretense of saving
$2,000,000 or $3,000,000 a year. The
effectiveness of the army will be di
minished however, and the reduction
in outlay will be a waste instead of
a saving. Persons who stand close
to the President say he will veto the
bill if it reaches him in anything like
its present shape. The President and
the secretary of war dislike it and it
is understood that most of the Repub
licans will oppose it. The proposed
changes have been attached as a rider
to the army appropriation bill because
the Democrats who are pushing them
know they are so objectionable to the
country that they would stand no
chance of enactment as an indepen
dent measure. The assumption of
these Democrats is that the President
would be unwilling to veto the army
appropriation bill, and that, conse
quently, the vicious changes will be
allowed to reach the statute book. As
the President is aware of this plot,
there are good reasons to believe that
he will defeat it, even if this delays
the appropriation bill for a few
months.
There is need for economy, but the
Democratic House is, as Secretary
Stimson says, beginning in the wrong
place. For the fiscal year along to
this time the government's expendi
tures have exceeded its receipts to
the extent of $46,000,000, as compared

TV the United States government should be obliged by the continuation of
the disorders In Cuba to Intervene tor the third time In the internal
Sffairs of that island it would probably make use of Its naval station at
Quanta na mo. on the bay of the same name, thirty-seven miles east of
Santiago Upward of $10,000,000 has been spent upon the thirty square miles
of territory which was granted to the United States by treaty in the building
of docks, machine shops, storage houses, etc. Practically the whole Atlantir
fleet Is making the station its base and would be aval sble for instant service,
as well as the soldiers and marines, 3.000 of whom re is the custom of the
government to maintain there. The genera, staff of the army at Washington
has long (en prepared for an emergency in Cuba, with plans matured for
embarking wveral thousand troops within a few days' notice
with a shortage of $28,000,000 in the
same period a year ago. If all the
outlays provided for by the present
House should be agreed to by the Sen
ate and the President the deficit for
the coming fiscal year would far ex
ceed this big figure. This chamber
has been wasteful in some things, and
penurious in much more important
matters. In these days of constant in
crease in the armies and navies of all
the rest of the great nations the Unit
eded States can not safely fall be
hind the procession. Our army is
smaller than that of any second-class
nation in the world, and our navy is
not expanding at anything like the
rate of Germany's or Japan's. The
Democrats are furnishing new reasons
for their defeat in 1912.
SHAW NOW JAILER AND PEACE OFFICER
(Continued from page 1.)
Councilman' Meyer said if the
charges had been made against him
and were not true he would have the
accusers arrested for blackmail. "."I
wouldn't be monkeying around here,"
added the councilman.
When Councilman Tooze told the
Mayor that written charges were op
posed because trickery was feared,
the Mayor retorted: ,
"You are not a gentleman for mak
ing these remarks. I am sorry that
that matter will go into writing and
be published."
Immediately thereafter the Mayor
declared Portland newspapers would
send reporters up here and report
the whole thing just as if the Morn
ing Enterprise, the only daily between
Portland and Salem, has not been giv
ing columns of its space to the coun
cil wrangle. This statement almost
made the Enterprise man hot, but he
was glad afterward that he preserved
his equanimity. -
"It's been a Brownell fight against
me," declared the Mayor.
And here ended the fourth chapter.

Double Ruffs For the Neck Are Very
Smart.
Double ruffs for the neck are a nov
elty that will appear on one piece
dresses, as well as on lingerie and
tailored silk blouses. They close in
the back, and the lower cuff is wider
than the upstanding one.
A really attractive ruff of this sort
was in black net, with a neat rose of
made apparently by at least one of
the officers, for you to have an in
vestigation of charges made on the
night of the 7th inst., and we were
ready to testify as to those charges;
ready to be sworn; ready to make our
statements under oath.
"It developed at the meeting of the
10th that you required we make our
charges in writing, by which you seem
to have called a meeting for the pur
pose of investigating certain charges,
and for a purpose best known to your
self at the beginning of the investiga
tion required us to make other
charges. The meeting was not called
for the purpose of investigating
charges yet to be made, but your
meeting was for the purpose of inves
tigating charges already made, which
charges were as they were, either oral
or in writing, and feeling that your
investigation was not sincere we there
fore, and for that reason, were anx
ious to testify and at three different
times during the afternoon asked you
to put us under oath that we might
state to you what we knew. You for
three times declined.
"We know that it is not necessary
that you do this and that you may
quit before you begin the actual tak
ing of testimony, but we see no rea
son why you should begin an investi
gation and then because of any motive
or purpose of your own quit it without
completing the investigation you in
tended to make. - j
"We therefore ask you, will you
proceed with the investigation and
call us to testify."
Mr. Hedges' statement made a pro
found impression upon every one
present, except those of the Dimick
faction, and Judge Hayes, the De
mosthenese of that coterie, took ex
ceptions to almost every word the
other advocate had said. Judge Hayes
declared that he demanded an inves
tigation; that he wanted it to be
above board and free from bias.
"As a citizen and a taxpayer I want
the truth," declared Judge Hayes. "If
the charges are true these men should
be dismissed at once. We don't want
men who sleep when they should be
at work on our police force. If the
charges are true discharge these men.
lr they are not true vindicate them.
Why didn't you make these charges
when the warrants of these men were
up for consideration instead of pass
ing favorably upon the warrants? You
waited until the Mayor appointed
Green Chief of Police to make them."
Judge Hayes said the accusers were
trying to "hide behind shadows." He
said it was the custom in legislatures
and the Congress of the United States
wnen men were accused to make the
charges in writing. He cited the case
of Senator Smoot.
Judge Hay3, pointing at Mr.
Hedges declared he never heard of a
councilman being represented by a
lawyer before, intimating that council-
men could take pretty good care of
themselves in debates. The speaker
intimated that suits for damages
might be filed as a result of the
charges.
"I am the man who made the
charge, ' said Councilman Albright. "I
knew what I was talking about when
I made it. As a member of the do-
lice committee I made the investiga
tion of the policemen. I 'will give the
names ana dates at the proper time.
The proper time has not arrived. I
saw these men go home and stay
home on a number of occasions."
I went out and investigated this
matter," said Mr. Tooze. "The truth
is these men were off their beats
when the should have been on them."
"We want it in writing," demanded
Judge Hayes.
"You Uare not no on," answered Mr.
Hedges
"I c?ri't understand why you do not
want to put the charges in writing,'
said Mayor Dimick. This is custom
ary." Councilman Beard said it looked iO
him more like the council was being
investigated than the police. He de-
nlntn1 5 n n A w Z 1 J.1
and private sources in regard to the sections of the countryJ the charges were made orally or in
where immigrants are really needed, wages, occupations, etc. This j wrltins- He thought the accused men
not face the charges.
"Do you know when we make our
beats on the hill," said Policeman
Green to Councilman Tooze.
"I decline to answer. It is some
dirty scheme," was the Tetort.
Judge Hayes declared the accusers
were guilty of the "dirty scheme," and
said the reason the charges were de-
manaed in writing was because the
policemen wanted a chance to defend
tJwmselves.
"The time may come when we will
have an investigation and then we
will make our charges in our own
way," said Mr. Hedges. This, some
thought, suggested a recall, or some
thing like that
Councilman Pope scored a decided
hit He made a suggestion that had
never been even hinted at before, and
that was that the police committee
of the city council make an investiga
tion and have a hearing. It was not
kindly received, however.
Councilman Beard moved that Po
licemen Green and Frost be suspend
ed until they were tried and vindi
cated. The Mayor said he might sus
pend the the men if the charges were
in writing. A facetious taxpayer, who
was occupying standing room, was
heard to say, sotto voce, "The nearest
approach to a suspension hereabouts
for sometime will be the suspension
-ferine." -
Let the Government Take
Charge of Distribution
of Immigrants
By Professor HENRY B. FAIRCHILD of Yale University
ET THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES TAKE OFFICIAL
CHARGE OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF IMMIGRANTS.
To this end information should be collected from public
information should be supplied to the proper authorities in foreign
countries. The immigrants should then be required to CHOOSE
THEIR DESTINATION IN THIS COUNTRY BEFORE
LEAVING HOME. .
To help in the administration of this provision passports should be
required of all immigrants statrag their destination. The United
tkates government should KEEP CONTROL-OF IMMIGRANTS
imtil they reach this destination.
In accordance with this plan the present contract labor clause of
the immigration law should be abolished. Public boards and private
employers should be encouraged and assisted to make contracts with
immigrants. But these contracts must have the SANCTION OF
THE GOVERNMENT and to be legal must specify a wage not be
low a certain minimum fixed for each locality or industry by the gov
ernment.
This would do away with the present ABSURD ASSUMPTION
THE BEST IMMIGRANT IS THE ONE WHO KNOWS
NG ABOUT WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO IN THIS
IY, would encourage immigrants tc study conditions in
sefore emigrating and would give those who are prudent
some assurance of employment in their new home a
