as opposed, to expenditure of v fur

electorate. Possibly r- his mood - is
that of .prudence and not . of , actual
hostility. In the exercise of ' pro
dence In any move to be made for
purchase of parks he Is to be ap
plauded.' But if his view is that of
actual hostility it will be most an
fortunate ior, this city. If civic Im
provements ot this kind are to be
blocked, Portland .will- be oat of tune
with the spirit of the time, She will
become a city antiquated among the
cities beautiful and - progressive,
both in speeches--and by executive
message as favorable to the plan Is
certain to approve. I There seems no
doubt therefore that it will be the
duty of the next Oregon legislature
to-reflectth attitude -of this state
on the subject'
.Nor -Is there likely to be doubt
as to what the legislature will do.
It is almost certain to vote In favor
of the amendment. The fact that
the president favors . it; that the
senate of the United States has
voted unanimously for Its submis
sion, and that sentiment among the
masses throughout the country is
overwhelmingly for it will be a large
reason for -favorable action. The
fact that the plan was satisfactorily
employed in the t United States for
several years will be another. The
circumstance that the Income tax is
the greatest of all ;the sources of
revenue in Great Britain, and that
economies in that country and else
where give It ; unqualified approval
will brf still another reason for favor
able action in Oregon. ;

CHARACTERIZATION of this
newspaper by Dr. Judson,
president of Chicago univer
sity and presiding officer of
the late Baptist convention in Port
land, Is a source of some satisfaction
to The Journal. He said: "We
have never had, a better report of
any of our Baptist meetings than
The Journal has given us. The
spirit has been kindly, and the in
terpretation accurate and fair. No
criticism that I have been compelled
to make concerning statements by
the local press about our convention
has been directed against The Jour
nal. I shall keep , the copies cover
lng the convention and take them
home with me as the best obtainable
current report of our meeting."
Dr. Judson is nationally known
as a critic and student of newspapers
and their function. His knowledge
of men and measures was abundant
ly displayed In the masterly finesse
with which he met difficult situa
tions and piloted the late convention
Into results that are described" as
the most important In the history
of the Baptists In this country. . He
comes from . a city where news

sources and Inspired by the stress of
competition are led into the very

state and nation. The passing of
such a man at such an. age seems
untimely, and is to be viewed in no
other light than a Ipsa to his com
monwealth and the northwest. His
efforts in behalf of northwest activi
ties, water ways among them, were
conspicuous,, and won him favor, not
only In his ownbut adjoining states.
There will be sincere regret through
out thoeoun try that such- a career
should have been cut short at such
a time. He was a native of Iowa,
and was graduated from Pleasant

which he - was admitted to the bar.
He settled at Tacoma where his tal

VAN HONORABLE , RECORD
T
HAT WAS an interesting story.
in yesterday's Journal, about
ex-Chief of Police Grltzmacher,
For 36 years he has been, al
most continuously connected with
the police department of this city,
which hf s grown in that time from
towp oi tuuu to one or probably
250,000 Mr. Grltzmacher has
served as patrolman, captain and
chief, and has been prominent v in
almost numberless "cases" of much
u rally, cases of crime. ' He mpdestly
admits that a number of the most
heinous crimes were never unraveled
or the perpetrators brought to jus
tice, but he' might fairly have
boasted that a good many like crimes
were also solved and the perpetra
tors duly punished.
Mr. Grltimacher has never posed
as a conspicuously brilliant officer,
but it can be said truthfully tbat
during his generation of service he
was generally regarded as a faith
ful, trustworthy officer who always
did the best he could and probably
ng person or tne tens ti tnousands
who have known him ever for a
moment doubted his entire honesty.'
The term "graft was never used
by any body in connection with Chief
Grltimacher,
With a well and honestly earned
competence, he retires ' from public
service, and thousands of people
wish him many years yet of enjoy
able leisure, and general respect
On ociasions some other man in his
place i might have done 'better, but
always .the people knew that Chief
Grltzmacher was doing .his honest
duty, as well as ha knew how. Few
men In any city have served Jn such
a capacity so long, and faithfully,
and honorably. "
seems very slow In coming. Why do
not the dealers pay a few cents more for
strictly freah eggs? Inatead of doing
ao the dealers say they cannot pay any
more for strictly freah eggs than for
the inferior grades.
I notice a recent . statement on the
market page of The Journal to the ef
fect that out of 37. cases of eggs re
ceived by one commission man, ne could
select only six that were really fresh.
Those six eaaea might as wellhavs been
bad also, since fresh eggs bring no more
than stale 'eggs. If the dealers would
send back the poor eggs and demand
eggs no older than seven days and col
lected every day, they would have no
trouble.
Up here In the valley we get !0o
dozen while the consumer In Portland
pays 35 cents. Don't you think there
ought to be better pay for the rancher,
big or email 7
Pretty soon the buyer in the country
will think he does, ua a favor in taking
the eggs and giving us nothing. There
is a. wide difference between 20o and
SSc and. there should be some sort of
a divvy. . Why doesn't The Journal rg

swenoe in tne hall every face is turned
toward the door where the oommlttee of

That tall man with the sharp feature,
the bold brew, and the sandhued hair,
holding the parchment in hla hand, la a
Virginia farmer. Thomas Jefferson. That
tout built man with stern look and
flashing eye. la a, Boston man, one John
Adams. And that calm faced man with
hair drooping In thick curls to his ahoul-
dera. that Is the Philadelphia printer,
Benjamin Franklin. The- three advance
to the table. The parchment la laid
there. Shall It be- signed or not? a
fierce debate enaues. Jefferson soeaks
a few bold words. Adams pours out his
whole soul. The deep toned voice of
Lee is heard, swelling In ayllablea of
thunder like music.. But still there la
doubt, and one pale faced man whispers
something about axes, scaffolds, and a
gibbet, - .
"Gibbet V echoes a fierce, bold voice
through the halL "QlbbetT They may
stretch our necks on all the gibbets In
the land; they may .turn every rock Into
scaffold; every tree Into a gallows:
every home Into a grave, and yet the
words of that parchment there can
never die! They may pour our blood on
thouaand scaffolds, and yet from
every drop that . dyes the ax a new
champion of freedom will spring Into
birth. , The British king may blot out
tne stars ef God from the sky. but he
cannot blpt out" hts words written on
tbat parchment there. : The .works of
God may perish.- His words, nevert The
ords -of this declaration will live In

of .warning they canjiot choose but hear.
