18 TIIE SUXDAT OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 21, 1919. ROOSEVELT'S SERVICE LAUDED BY JOHNSON Senator Contrasts Colonel and Woodrow Wilson. PRESIDENT BEHIND TIME feelingly refer, is a matter quite apart from thin HisriiRftinn Thpv nav -va fonvM I entered upon our world career; we can't turn back. Not so, at all. We have never been isolated from the rest of the world, financially, socially, commercial ly, politically or any other way. The only isolation which has been ours is geographical. God gave us the two oceans, and what God has given us in these two oceans even the league of nations can't take away from us. "If any man had come to you three years before the war; if any man should come to you three years hence and say to you that he was entering into a partnership between this nation and a foreign nation by which the for eign nation should be given six votes in that partnership and our country BELOVED IRVIXGTOX WOM DIBS, AGED 74 TEARS, AX European Cataclysm Failed to Arouse Him for 3 Years, Is '. Opponent's Charge. . MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 20. With three addresses in the Twin Cities today, Senator Hiram W. Johnson of Cali fornia concluded his speaking trip through the middle west opposing the ratification of the league of nations covenant in its present form. At noon he addressed a large gathering at the Metropolitan opera house in St. Paul and at 4 P. M. he spoke to the Lincoln club in Minneapolis. .'Tonight the climax of a strenuous day of speech-making -was reached when he addressed a mass meeting which packed the armory in Minne apolis. Many were turned away, un able to find standing room. Mayor J.- B. Myers introduced Senator John son at the armory meeting, where the Californian was cheered for several minutes when he entered the hall. Return to Capital Announced. Senator Johnson, in speaking of his speaking trip through the middle west, eaid: "The tremendous and overwhelming response everywhere to the doctrine of Americanism has made me most anx ious to continue my itinerary to the Pacific coast. In addition, I would gladly avail myself of the generous invitations extended to me from every city between here and California and particularly, of course, I should have liked to go Into the state where I was born and which has my first al legiance. My amendment, however, for 'giving America equal representation with Great Britain in the league may cqme before the senate any day now; and moreover, the importance of the situation there convinces me that my duty for the present lies at Washington a ad this notwithstanding the sugges tions of my colleagues and the numer ous and earnest requests which have come to me from all the communities of- the west. I shall therefore return to Washington at once with the hope that, if conditions permit it, I may again go to the people." Senator Johnson will leave for Wash ington tomorrow afternoon. Answering President Wilson's state ment that Theodore Roosevelt would favor the league of nations were he alive today. Senator Johnson said: j Roosevelt Much Needed. ""'Mr. Wilson, hard pressed, quoted yesterday Theodore Roosevelt. Oh, if Roosevelt were only here! The nation never needed him more. His command ing personality, his lofty patriotism, his love for and pride in our nation, his very personality typical of our re public, his loyalty to the great cause of democracy, his fearlessness in at tacking any divided allegiance to our country, his red-blooded Americanism, would have made short work of the un-American thing which Mr. Wilson seeks to foist upon us. How strange and weird and unnatural it seems for Mr. Wilson to quote Theodore Roose velt! They have ever been the an tithesis of each other. One with clear vision and unerring wisdom saw the possibilities of the great world war and our interest in it. The other with feeble and flabby phrases preached the doctrine of neutrality in deed and thought. Roosevelt, when it was un popular to do so, denounced wrong and aggression, broken national faith and ruthless militarism. Wilson Awakening? Slow. "Wilson, for three years before we got Into the war, was unable to tell for what the nations of the earth were fighting and told us each side was battling for the same hidden cause. For two years and a half he neither saw nor understood the underlying forces in civilization's titanic struggle. Unmoved and untouched he witnessed the crime against Belgium and the assault upon humanity. He now speaks learnedly on the initial phases of the conflict, the actuating reasons, the roots of the cataclysm. Until ' the beginning of 1917 he told a different tale and spoke another story. "Of course, Mr. Roosevelt, like all the rest of us, would have gone far to have prevented war. But when any man says that he would for a single instant have accepted the pro-British document which would put the country he so dearly loved within the power or direction, command or recommendation of foreign nations, that man affronts the revered memory of Theodore Roosevelt. None who knew Roosevelt, none who talked to him during his last days, but know that his heart and soul revolted at Mr. Wilson s internation alism and Mr. Wilson's endeavors to subordinate to foreign nations the American republic. Nation at Crossroads. "I feel very keenly that our nation stands today at the crossroads of its destiny. "The document that has been pre sented to us and which we are asked to make a part of our great nation comes to us at a time most peculiar in our history. We have a singular psy chological reflex from the world war, working on the lives of the people with distorted intellects. Nations are unable to see with the same clarity of vision as other periods. I assume that each of you wouid go to almost any ex tremity in order to preclude the pos sibility of another cataclysm such as we have seen in the past four years. "You recall that before we knew anything about the great covenant of the league gentlemen were going about from city to city, from state to state, preaching of its virtues and tell ing of the marvelous things that were coins to happen as a result of the great, unknown document. And most of us, indeed, welcomed anything that might render less likely wars in the future: but we have watcnea the pro ceedings abroad with a growing dis illusionment. We saw one by one the great principles to which we had given t unqualified indorsement and approval abandoned and surrendered. ! America to Be Free to Act. "There are some places that are pived with go'od intentions. Paris is lion one oi tnem. 'What I say to you is that we at Washington are fighting for this: "When the time and the call comes for ac-ting, we, as Americans, shall de terminer that time and mode of acting, without the British empire or any other nation deciding for us. That is the issue. Not that we want to live isolated from all the rest of the world, but When you put us at the con ftrence at Geneva in secrecy with eight foreign nations in reality it is only five, because it is the big five that are going to rule the world in the future you put us there with one minority vote under the control and power of the other four great nations of the earth and you make them deter mine the character of our action, and the time of our action." "Our splendid isolation of the past, to which our friends on the other side so Si" J should be given only one, you would hoot him from the rostrum if he did that three years ago or three years hence, you would hoot him away. But so strange and distorted is our psychology today that that very propo sition is made to us." KEROSENE FIRES HOME J. P. Ritter House Set Ablaze by Pat ent Burner Device. As if in support of the contention of the heads of the city fire department that kerosene burners in stoves are a menace to householders and to the com munity in general, a patent kerosene burner set up a blaze at midnight Friday in the home of J. P. Ritter, 6006 East Eighty-second street. The blaze was put out by Engine 31, which responded to the call. Fire Marshal Grenfell and others have striven for such an interpreta tion of the fire laws of the city ordi nances as would prohibit the use of such appliances as kerosene burners. A committee appointed by the mayor has the case under advisement at present. Mrs. Mary A. Ormandy. Funeral services for Mrs. Mary A. Ormandy, a widely-known and much-beloved resident of Irving ton, were held last Friday, at Westminster church. Dr. Edward H. Pence officiating. Services at Riverview were private.

ON. Claim Made That Existing Rates Arc Unduly High Coast Interests Generally Represented. Before Clysses A. Butler, examiner of the interstate commerce commis sion, hearing on application of the Ore gon Portland Cement company for re adjustment of cement rates was started yesterday in the United States court room in the old postofflce building, an will be resumed tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock. The entire afternoon session was devoted to presentation of the case by John H. Lothrop, secretary of the Portland Traffic & Transportation as sociation, intervenor in the case. Hlh testimony was not finished when th hearing adjourned over the week end. The application of the Oregon Port land Cement company is for the adop tion on the Pacific coast of rates on basis similar to that used in fixing western cement rates, involving the territory between Chicago and the Rocky mountains. This, in effect is a zoning system under which a distance tariff applies from all plants engaged in the manufacture of cement, therebj giving to each whatever advantage of location it may possess. Under exist ing rates it is claimed by the petitionej that cement can be shipped to Oregon and Washington territory from Cali fornia points at lower rates than from the local factory. Intervenors in be half of the local industry, whose plant is at Oswego, are the Portland Traffic & Transportation association, the pub lic service commission and the Beaver Portland Cement company, of Gold Hill, Or. Alt Interests Represented. W. C. McCulloch is counsel for the Oregon Portland Cement company and is conducting the examination of wit nesses, introducing testimony in behalf of the petitioner. The application is being resisted by John S. Willis, assistant manager of the San Francisco Chamber of Com merce traffic bureau; James A. Keller, traffic manager of the Pacific Coast, Santa Cruz and Henry Cowell cement companies, all California concerns, and S. W. Mitchell, also representing the last-named cement company. On be half of the Southern Pacific Railroad company and the United States railroad administration James H. Mulcahay and Judge H. C. Booth of San Francisco are in attendance. H. A. Hinshaw, general frieght agent, and Ben S. Dey counsel for the Southern Pacific Ore gon lines, are participating on behalf of that company. Otner railroad offi cials appearing are H. E. Lounsbury, general freight agent of the Oregon Washington lines, and R. W. Pickarii. assistant general freight agent of the Spokane. Portland & Seattle railway. Of the intervenors. the public serv ice commission is represented by Fred A. Williams, commissioner, and T. C. Davis, rate expert. T. W. Layman of the Beaver Portland CVment company of Gold Hill is attending in the in terest of that company. The importance of the hearing to local industry is indicated by the ar ray of legal talent and traffic ex perts here to contest the issues in volved. In submitting direct testimony Mr. Lothrop strongly advocated a re adjustment on the basis that had been established' elsewhere, and for the netting up of a rate structure that would be just and equitable.
