A great problem confronts the non-partisan league, which is flower ing in the state of Washington until it is now a flourishing political entity. It has been holding a state convention at Yakima and nominat ing a ticket, which is no crime in the neighbor state, though it Is an of fense In Oregon only a little less he:nous than black felony. . It is not enough for delegates in a convention to select candidates for office. They must get them elected. Two plans are presented. One is to form a new third party in conjunc tion with the so-called "triple al liance," the committee of forty-eight, the railway men's welfare league and other organizations which are devoting themselves to "advanced" political thought and action. The other is to enter the republican pri mary. The latter idea gives better promise of ultimate victory in No vember, providing there shall be an initial success in September, and it is In high favor. The intrinsic dishonesty of the plan is no obstacle, in the minds of your non-partisans. They are not republicans. They owe no allegiance to the. republican party. 'They ac knowledge no obligation to support its candidates. They would use its machinery to accomplish its defeat. as they have done in North Dakota and have attempted to do elsewhere. but appear to have carried a theory evolved in Germany during the war to a higher point of practicality than the Germans succeeded in doing. A fact in their favor is that if they make good their present claims they will not need to go far either for raw material or for a market for the finished product. Next to cheaper food for ourselves, we are most in terested in any ration for cattle which by ' indirection promises" to bring about the former result. SECRET WAR ON PORTLAND. Thoutrh the Columbia is the sec- ond greatest river in the United States, the navy department knows so little about it that a squadron taking midshipmen on a practice cruise steams right past it as if it did not exist.

On the surface, it will be a league of nations campaign Underground, in states like New Yoik, Ohio, New Jersey, Maryland, Missouri. Kentucky, Indiana and Illi nois, it will be a wet campaign. When did The Oregonian say that Cox is the champion of booze and bocze alone? What it said, and re peats, was that the democrats are depending on booze and booze alone to elect Cox. On the league, or on tho Wilson record, he has no show whatever. On the wet issue, he has a chance in certain great states. They know it. They will make a whispering campaign there. If Cox is elected it will be by booze and the appetite for booze. Every THE RAILROAD LABOR AWARD. The decision of the railroad labor board on the wage claims of all classes of railroad employes is so liberal ' that it should be accepted without hesitation- by the employes. as it must be by the companies. It will be accepted by 4the people, though they must pay the higher wages in the shape of higher rates. Naturally the outlaw unions will re ject it, for it gives them nothing, but they put themselves out of court by striking in defiance of the contracts of the unions against which they rebelled. This is the first labor award in which the general public has been treated as a direct party to the ques tion under discussion, having equal representation on the board with the employers and employes. A princi ple as thus recognized which has al ways been sound, but which had been lost to sight until the intolera ble injury' suffered by the public forced it to the front. - Hitherto the public has been represented on ar bitration boards as umpire only. It now figures as a third party, having an equal interest with the other two. This is as it should be, for the public pays in the end. But the public is just. It is always ready to act on the principle that the laborer is worthy of his hire. But it will not permit the other two parties to the bargain to combine on extor tionate wages or rates, and it expects good, continuous service. Practical assurance that the board's decision will be accepted is a tribute to the moral power of such a tribunal, for the law does not make acceptance compulsory. The employes are le gally free to strike, but with the public practically united in belief that the award is just they could not win. This should make an end to rail road strikes in this country. While the labor board is guided by justice and sound judgment, there can be no excuse for a strike, and opposi tion of public opinion would render one impossible because it cannot win. This will continue while the board acts both promptly and justly on ex act knowledge of facts, and while action is not too long delayed. At last the fact is accepted in effect that railroads are not to be treated as the absolute property of either the companies or the employes, but as a public trust for the service of the people. Men will accept employ ment on them with knowledge of this condition, which excludes any sus pension of work which interrupts continuous service. lng a depth of 42 feet over the bar. and little paper in Oregon, and everv the board is also of the opinion that it .Ho j l will be only a short time until a minimum were, that supports Cox is a part ed 50 feet will be obtained, thus making iier, wining or unwilling, in the great this a practicable port in any weather. scheme for an under-surface appeal That authoritative statement bears to the wet instincts, habits and pur- eo directly on the duties of . every poses of Tammany, its wet allies and navigating officer in the navy that all the other wets.

If public interest in the contest for the America's cup, now somewhat heightened by the victory qt Reso lute yesterday, does not become as Intense as, say, that betrayed in an international tennis match or, better yet, a sporting event like the Olym pic games, there must be a reason for it, to find which we must look beneath the surface. In theory at least Britain and America are sea faring nations. The tincture of sail. or ought to be in the blood of both of us. We still contrive a thrill or two over contests of other sorts between representatives of the two nations. Yet the race between the two yachts, the matching of the skill of designers and the strategy of crews, leaves us relatively cold. A possible explanation will be found in the technical and, to the landlubber, highly complicated meth od of handicapping the contestants. The average sportsman likes to see the result determined at the finish mark. We realize the necessity for balancing advantages and disad vantages in the interests of true sport, but we prefer that this shall be done in such a way that when we see a man, or a horse, or a boat come first over the line we shall know that he is the winner. We would like to time our cheers accordingly. Spontaneity suffers while we are waiting for the mathematicians to do their calculating. We do the thing better In a horse race, when we conceal the handicap in a saddle pad. First under the tape, to the approv ing howls of enthusiastic spectators, the winning horse gets the acclaim while the acclaiming is good. Some day, perhaps, the experts will find a way to eliminate the highly intricate time allowance from the otherwise excellent sport of yachting. One critic rises to suggest that the yacht that carries sail in aasprcporuon to her allowance, or that holds the advantage of a longer waterllne, or that otherwise throws the technical niceties out of kilter should be required to carry a ton or two of pig iron in her hold to even up matters, and that thereafter there shall be a free fairway with no other favors. A mere landsman will not pretend to pass on this suggestion. But it is pertinent to observe that Hesolute, slipping home as she did yes-terday by an actual second ahead of her rival, would be a much more interesting sporting spectacle than Resolute one second, plus seven min utes and one second, ahead in, the game by corrected time." We like our sport hot off the bat. And with some amendments it would seem that as manly and as brainy ana as historic a game as sailing boats against each other ought to take hold of the popular fancy. " ONE MAN'S JUDGMENT. -- President Wilson having insisted and Governor Cox having agreed that Mr. Wilson's foreign policy shall be the chief issue of the campaign, the light which Colonel House has thrown on the development of that policy from the date of the armistice is valuable in placing responsibility for the labyrinth of trouble in which both the United States and Europe have been involved. in a dispatch from London to the Philadelphia Ledger, CoJonel House says: A suggestion was made in Paris Just after the armistice to proceed at once in the making of a preliminary treaty of peace with Germany alone. One group insisted that a careful sur vey be made of Germany's resources and ability to pay, giving assurance to Ger many that her loss of territory would not be greater than indicated. Such a treaty could have been made by Christmas, 1918. That was what everybody expected, both in this country and Europe. It was what everybody except Mr. Wilson wanted. But he abandoned his duty at home and went to the peace conference, which he caused to wait until he made a triumphal tour. The one need of the allies was early conclusion of definite peace, that they might reduce their military expenses, might know what repara tion payments they could expect and what responsibilities they must as sume, and might set their domestic affairs in order. Germany, too, reeded prompt disarmament and set. tiement of its liabilities and its new frontiers, and above all it was neces sary that the blockade should be raised, in order that Its people might bt well fed and put to work. That was to the allies' interest also, for they must look to the products of Germany for reparation. A prelimi nary treaty could have been made before Christmas, 1918. But Mr. Wilson insisted that the league covenant be adopted first and that it be made a part of the treaty. Therefore the treaty proper waited, the whole world waited for peace and Germany waited for the raising of the blockade. After the first draft of the league covenant was adopted on February 14, 1919, the president hastened home with it and discussed it with the senate. Thirty nine senators, that is, more than enough to defeat ratification, signed the round robin declaring for the treaty first, the league atterward. While the president was in Washing ton his fellow - delegates, Colonel House and Secretary Lansing, agreed with the allied delegates on this precise course, and the conference set to work on the separation of the two document. Mr. Wilson declared before returning to Paris that they should not be separated, and on ar rival there he swept aside the work of his colleagues and led the allies to accept his plan. He set his judg ment above that of the other Ameri can delegates, of the senators with out whose approval his work would go for naught and of the allies. In order to overcome the objec tions of the allies to acceptance of the nascent league as a substitute for those territorial guarantees of se curity which they required from Ger many, the president caused insertion of article 10. France being not yet satisfied, he made the special de fensive treaty together with Great Britain. Having accepted at its face value his assumption that he was the unembarrassed spokesman of the American people, the allies find that they are without the guarantees for which the league was to have been a substitute; that they are without the aid of the United States in en forcing the treaty; that the league without the United States is power less to help them; that the distressed condition of Europe continues, and that continent is thrown on its own resources. Having been fairly warned of the attitude of the senate, Mr. Wilson is responsible to the American people for the consequences of not having taken its advice. These are continued economic disturbance, unrest of labor, delay in passage of urgent laws, estrangement from the nations which were our comrades in arms two years ago, and injection into a political campaign of an issue which should never have arisen. These are the consequences of the determination of one man to set his judgment above that of -all others and to force his decision on the senate which is itihiJer the constitu tion an equal party with him in treaty-making, and on his associates at the peace conference. There could not be a more forceful exam ple of the evils of autocratic power. Mr. Cox is pledged to defend Mr. Wilson's policy, and therefore pre sumably to continue it. Stars and Starmakers.

The word passed with sadness yesterday. A quarter-century ago Daniel McAllen was one of the retail merchants who did not confine the best in him to his. store. He was for Portland all the wakeful day. Optimistic, every inch of him, for he was born in the land where the sun shines behind the cloud and streaks through, he had the vision of a greater Portland and he worked to that end. He live'd to see it, too, in his three score and ten years. Failing health made him missed for the few years last passed, but the memory of him will linger long. The man who asserts he cannot support his family because be pays alimony was foolish to take on the new before he was off the old; but anybody can marry these times.

Being a Tammany man, Mr. Heffernan who looks like a Russian or a Spaniard, with fierce mustachios and spade beard is am bling homeward from the democratic convention. Yesterday he devoted his time to counting the noeea of all the democrats in the customs house, and admitted there were so many there that it made him feel as though he was in his own district, where no re publican has been able to hold office for i0 years. In addition to Cox car rying New York, Mr. Heffernan also predicts that Governor Smith will be elected United States senator from the Umpire state. "Mr. Heffernan ad mits that Cox will probably lose Pennsylvania and that he may also lose Vermont, but, aside from those states the democratic ticket will make a clean sweep of the eastern country. "Wheat sacks cost about 22 cents this year," complained a wheat grow er at one of the Portland hotels yes terday. "The grower has to put this suit of clothes on the wheat and give it away, and not only that, but the weight of the sack is deducted. Then wages are high, some of the men being paid from 6 to 8 a day. with board included. The expense of har vesting this year is heavy and the growers won't make such a great profit with these things considered, and wheat, which was being con tracted for at $2.00, hasn't been bring ing that price ot late. In Sherman county there is a gradual movement to do away with sacking wheat and handle the grain In bulk. A number of wheat elevators are now being put up in that section." Driving over the Mackenzie pass is quite possible, but it certainly is rough, admits T. H.

Brown of Chicago, presi dent of the Bend Water & Power company, and Mrs. Brown accom panied Mr. Foley on the trip through central Oregon and over the pass. Mrs. Brown, who has been a moun tain climber In Europe, declared that the scenery she saw In Oregon, and particularly Crater lake, excels any thing In the old country. Travel over Mackenzie pass Is bumpy, but Mr. Foley managed to get through vithout breaking a spring or any bones. The Browns left last night for Chicago. "A Britisher came to America to see the country," began Gerald Grif fin, at the Hotel Portland, and while in the south hi met and unr uled a southern girl in the land of the magnolias. This Britisher went into the manufacture of babbit metal which, by the way. is an American discovery and, having a streak of romance in him, he called his com pany the Magnolia, as a compliment to his wife, and every piece of babbitt which is sent out from the many fac tories in this country and in Ens land bear the magnolia blossom as a trademark. All of which goes to prove that there is sentiment and romance in business." Of course, Mr. Griffin was too modest to add th he is a western salesman for babbit of romance. R. A. Long, of the Long-Bell com pany, which owns timber in Oregon and Washington worth a core of millions, arrived at the Benson last evening from Kansas City. He is here to attend a conference of asso ciates, the purpose being to deter mine, if possible, where the company will erect one or more sawmills to manufacture their fir trees into lum ber.

William Jennings Bryan, in his capacity as a syndicate newspaper correspondent, sends a dispatch re viewing the work of the democratic national convention at San Fran cisco. The following excerpts from that dispatch make mighty interest ing reading and they are well worth space In the columns of The Ore gonian. He says: The real issue presented is whther the president Is infallible, and the democratic party is asked to take the affirmative of the proposition. While professing- a willingness to accept reservations of a certain kind within cer tain limitations the platform does not in dicate the kind of limitations or the limi tations. Our ship is sent to sea with sealed instructions; It is not strange that the convention finally became so exasper ated that it decided to choose, a pilot without consulting the dictator. If the president were willing- to concede to the senate the riRht to exercise its constitutional authority, If he were wilting to act in the spirit that permeates a co operative Government, if he were half as willing: to compromise with a co-ordinate body of his own government as he was to make concessions to every foreign na tion, if he were as willing to consent to a little freedom on land as he was tu abandon the freedom of the seas, the treaty would have been ratified months ago. Just a little recognition of the right ot other officials to exercise authority con ferred upon them by the same constitution that gives him all the authority he has would have put the treaty out of the campaign and thus enabled us to deal with domestic problems as well as do uur duty to the world. But having reached the hiphest pin nacle of fame to which a human being was ever lifted, he has rewarded the con fidence of his nation and the generosity of his party by an exhibition of egotism which would be pathetic if it were not tragic. No large party in a democracy can hope to appeal to the conscience and Judgment of a nation unless it has. a high er purpose than sycophantic service to one autocratic individual. When the United Statea aided in at tacking the arbitrary idea of government in Germany, it was with the hope of ban ishing it from the world, not for the pur pose of transplanting it to American soil. But the convention has adjudged, and its work is submitted for ratification or re jection to millions of citizens who will act without the restraints imposed upon hand-picked committees and partisau dele gates. Having read the recent eulogistic editorials of the Portland Journal on WMHiam J. Brjan, there is widespread public disappointment over its fail ure to publish this and others of his syndicate letters. A republican who would write such a series of letters would hear from the Journal that he was a "wrecker," a "treaty ripper," a "bandit," a "reactionary," a "stand patter," and a "Penrose republican." Woodrow Wilson would denounce him as "a pigmy-minded and contemptible quitter" whose "head was nothing but a knot.to keep his torso and his bodily extremities from raveling out. For many months the radicals on he soap boxes and the parlor bol sheviks" from the platform and the pulpit have been yelping at the heels of the American senate. For what? For exercising its constitutional pre rogative of passing on the league covenant and the treaty. It is lese majeste and treason not to accept a lot of altruistic phraseology as a per manent antidote for war and a sure precursor of an immediate millen nium. The "consent and advice of he senate, guaranteed by the consti tution, are not to be considered un- ess they run along with the mind of Woodrow Wilson. Complaint Is made that the senate has spent six months in discussing the treaty. ,Jt would be time well spent if sixty months were devoted to giving the world final notice that the autocracy of Kaiser Bill is just as offensive and intolerable In the American AVhite House as it was on the throne of Germany. We are told that. we are breaking faith with the allies in not accepting the Wilson treaty. Who commissioned Woodrow Wilson to speak for America? W hen the American electorate turned down his appeal for a democratic congress by over a million majority he had his notice that he was no longer America's spokesman. Such an ex pression of lack of confidence In any government In Europe means a resig nation, and the formation or a new ministry, and the deposed minister goes Into retirement. But when the armistice is signed, Woodrow Wilson, Ignoring his notice, appoints htniselt and four supposedly pliable associates as a peace commission that is to formulate a treaty that Is to send the name of Woodrow Wilson thundering down the ages. Where does he come out? The allies take what they want and give him what is left. His four American associates disagree with him and are sent Into exile. They don't care a rap what becomes of the treaty. The democrats of the senate desert htm. A ragged and dejected contingent of only- nineteen democratic senators stay with him and they are straining at the leash. Count them, nineteen out of ninety-six. Lord Grey and other representatives of the allies in Europe are willing to accept the Lodge reservations. Presi dent Taft and President Lowell of Harvard and Herbert Hoover and other American friends of a league are willing. Only nineteen Eenators are Wilson standpatters and they are onlv awaiting- the pleasure cr tne kaiser. Who is blocking the league of nations? The words of William J. Bryan are well spoken. He did not bolt the democratic ticket in 1904. but his silence In that campaign was abso lutely vociferous and it helped might ily in piling up that adverse majority of 2.500.000 tnal Dunea Alton o. Parker. Bryan's heart may be buried in the grave but his voice and his oen are still doing business at the old stand. CHARLES B. MOORES. More Truth Than Poetry. By James J. Sloslaguc. A SONG OF CHEER. Cheer up. if you never have had any luck At plumbing or lugging the hod. If fate, for a Joke, leaves you ruined or broke At sixty or seventy odd: You only need study up pleadings and torts. And embark on a legal career. And succeed, like as not, by the time you have got To your hundred and twentieth year. At a hundred and five you will prob ably think Your career is a tough one to carve Young lawyers like you very often get oiue When they fancy they're destined to starve. But you may get a start at a hundred and ten. If the wolf only lets you alone. And be ready to delve, at a hundred and twelve Into cases and suits of your own. And then you may possibly go on the bench And sit with a scowl on your brow. And look just as dumb and decrepit aa some Of the gentlemen sitting there now. And when you go back to your prac tice once more. You'll be quite amazed at the ease And freedom with which you can shake down the rich, And gather retainers and fees. the So don't be concerned though years oow you down. Your step may be halting and slow; Your eye-sight may flag and your faculties lag And your hair be a few shreds of snow ; But the older you get, all the more you will find That the people regard you with awe. For the refuge of age in its utter most stage Is always the practice of law! They'll Meet Tliclr Waterloo.

I wonder oft what life had been if you and I had wed, As I recall the vows we gave in fool ish days gone by; What it had been when time had proved the empty things we said. And left our real selves plainly shown g eacn to tne other s eye. For Tyou are quite another self and so indeed am 1! You have no more traits I love than someone quite unknown. Who greets me only casually in un- romantic tone, I study you with curious look; my heart's unhurried beat Proclaims the past a long-closed book, a serial complete. And strangely, too. there's no regret that In this mood we meet. Why, I endowed you In my thought with wondrous dignity. With high ideals and noble soul and rare sagacity: You seemed a little less than god a good deal more than man. A prince who in life's pathways trod oecause or mortal plan. But ah! one's vision broadens when they pass youth's dreamy span! My woman's soul Is sadder now than 1 thought 'twould hR When years had sketched upon my brow time's tell-tale traacrv You oft disliked the things I praised. and sometimes turned away.

HUMAN LIKE VALUED IV CANADA Mounted Police Justified in Refusing to Surrender Man Wanted Here. HOOD RIVER, Or.. July 20. (To the Editor.) In The Oregonian you publish news of the capture of Scan- Ion, accused or the murder oi two cen in this country, by the Canadian mounted police, who apprehended him on a. third murder charge, but this last crime was committed in Canada The mounted police refuse to give this man up to the United States au thorities and very rightly so. If they did, it would mean keeping their case open for an indefinate period while the courts down here went through their usual routine of empaneling and discharging juries, granting new trials on trivialities and generally making the cause of justice ridiculous and all with the more than probable result that he would be fotAid guilty of second degree murder, paroled in two or three years and then once more be let loose on a long-suffering public. If he put up a plea of self defense in'the case of Scott and shell shock in that of Cady he might even be acquitted. He made a mistake in going to Canada. Human life is val uable up there. - Let the mounted police have him. If he is found guilty of murder (there is no degree of it in Canadian law) the United States won't have the op portunity of bringing him back here to play with unless they want to hold a post mortem. If he ha3 killed one man in Canada, he won't kill any more. C. BUY DOES. In Other Days. Twenty-five Years Aro. From The Oregonian of July X'J, lSfi.Y Reuben S.

Put a boy horn of gentle white par ents among Indians and he will grow up like an Indian. Let the child born of criminal par ents have a setting of morality, in tegrity and love and the chances are that he will not grow up Into a crim inal, but into an upright man. If a child with a vicious temper be placed In an environment of peace and quiet the temper will change. I am as certain of these great truths as I am of great truths in the plant world. Put a plant into close quarters without sunshine and room to grow normally and you'll get a hoodlum plant! The only place hoodlums grow is In dark, dry, cramped surroundings. Change those surroundings: put a little love and care and sunshine into their lives and you get opposite results. Pronunciation of Town's Xante. PORTLAND. July 21. (To the Ed itor.)
