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

'. 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.

RATE ADJUSTMENT URGED
HEARING OX APPLICATION OF
OREGON CEMENT CO. 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.

SUCCESS
IN
DENTAL
WORK
Means Hard Work
Study and Brains
This also applies to every other profession.
To achieve success you must pay the price, which means
constant concentration and work, work, work, with the
idea constantly uppermost in your mind to perform your
task a little better than the other fellow.
', Too many dentists graduate and then stand still. They
either lack ambition or become discouraged because "Suc
cess" is such a difficult dame to woo.
In my 20 years active practice in Portland it was my
religion to give the best that was in me at all times and
I found that gradually and surely "Success" came and
remained, with added growth from year to year, the
result of conscientious work and at all times the desire
to improve.
. Better dental work you cannot get anywhere than you
will receive at this office, though you may be charged
twice my price by some of the non-advertising brethren.
I give you the very best, work in every branch of the
profession and take especial pride in fitting plates per
fectly, where all sound teeth are missing, that che your
food to your entire satisfaction and will improve your
apparance a hundredfold.
No students employed. My assistants are graduates
and registered dentists men of recognized ability in
