The first law of nature Is .self,

cannot pay the price, tbey will hunt

It will be harmful to Portland to
get ground rents, office rants or res
idence rentals too high. It Is infla

the sooner will be the collapse and
the further the fall. The stability
of Portland lies in the fact that It

of war. The forces in the field were
the Carnegie steel, wire and tube

that of J. P. Morgan. His vision was

an immense trade, organized to pos

his ambition grasped at, his courage
and fortune stimulated him to take
hold of, while his Judgment of men
tiught him to find the only factors
able to bring together and to organ
ise the enormous undertaking.

Judge Coke and the Recall.
Central Point, Or., Juna 17. To the
Editor of Tha Journal It Is noticed that
one editorial of the Oregonlan calle at
tention to and condemns the system of
permitting so many unhung murderers at
large in this country and then tha next
day It writes a rebuke for tba sugges
tion that a judge be recalled because
ha contributes by undue favoritism to
tha escape of a cold blooded murderer In
southern Oregon In a county famous for
Its number of such crimes and also for
Its leniency In permitting only two to
be hung, out of a list of nearly a hun
dred murderers in a history of about SO
years. It Is not for the cause of better
government or for any of th argu
ments that the Oregonlan puts up
against uie recall of this judge but It
Is due to other reasons that it gets ao
bus'' with Its editorials In defence of
this Judge. This Judga rose from ob
scurtty in Coos county in a couple years
by being the attorney for the Southern
I'aclfla R. R. company and tha earns
proceas made him one of tha wealthy
men of that county and tha same In
fluence secured him the appointment to
the judgeship, and It Is this delicate re
lationship to this railroad Influenced
newspaper that brings out the bum ar
guments against the recall of thla judge
and the defence of unhung cold blooded
murderers in aouthern Oregon. If tha
Oregonlan wants to harp on this case
let It print all tha facta as to tha judge
and the murderer It defends.
If tha people gat a judge who doe
not know enough law to Instruct a jury
it is time there was a remedy for re
placing' him, It Is tha best means ever
discovered for getting rid of judges who
get their places not on account of their
ability as judges or their knowledge of
the laws but through their oolltlcal Dull ;
and a stand In witn Just such degener
ates as the one who committed tha cow
ardly cold blooded murder referred to.
It would add to the Oregonlan's power
for good and Its Influence among men
If It would devote its editorial columns
to a better purpose and keep ita subsi
dised Influence out of such matters; per
haps after awhile the Oregon or Port
land people would be led by Its argu
ments and advice so that something It
favors or argues for may bave a ma
jority of the people to back it up.
The people of tbe district in which
this judge occupies the Dench ara cap
able of deciding this question themselves
without any advice by or from the Ore
gonlan, but ita interest only shows its
masters when the silent and secret re
lations between Its masters, the railroad
Interests, and this judge are known.

SEVEN FAMOUS ORDERS
The Order of the Thistle.
"No one attacks me with Impunity"
(Nemo ma lmpune lacesslt) Is the
motto of Scotland, and likewise the
motto of tha Order of tha Thistle, a
Scottish order, sometimes called the
Order of Saint Andrew. Tba year
717 Is given as tha mythical data of
Its founding. This order was especial-.
ly destined ror tha nobility or Scotland,
although one riband Is generally given
to a prince of the blood royal. ,
Tha .Order of tha Thistle was per
manently established In 1540 by King
James V, who being honored with the
Order of the Garter from his uncle.
King Henry VIII, with tha Golden Fleece
from the Emperor, and the Order of St.
Michael from France, resolved to be In
royal mode, and so made this order for
himself and II knights. In imitation ot
Christ and his 11 Apostles. Than cele
brating all the festivals of these orders,
be set up their arms and badges over
tha gate of his palace of Linlithgow,
joining St Andrew's with .them.
Some Scotch writers, ever fond of
antiquity, not satisfied with the nov
elty of this institution, affect to call
it . most -ancient aa to Its derivation.
But for this they have no better war
rant than tba dream of King Hungua,
tha Pict, to whom St Andrew, mak
ing a midnight visit, promised him a
sura victory over his foes, the North
umbrians; and tha next day St An
drew's cross appearing in tha air, he
made his words good, and tha
Northumbrians were defeated.
On this story, as they say. King
Archalus, about tha year 7S7, framed
tba Order of St Andrew, 700 yeara be
fora King" James V revived it. But
after so many ages. It is remarkable
that no foreign testimonies or authors

Portland. Or., June 19.- To the Editor
of The Journal In Sunday's Issue of
The Jounnal, under tha heading "Luna
tics," you discuss ths question of what
to do with the spied maniacs, and men
tion tna ract that fast driven autos ara
not only dangerous to life, but are an ac
tive destroyer of roads. This Is the first
time I have ever noticed either of these
admissions In any dally or general
newspaper in tha state, and The Journal
Is to be congratulated on Its courage In
referring to tnese tabooed subjects, for
tha auto dealers generally manage to
get space filled -up with a lot of rot
about how much advantage It la. to a
town or farm to have autos rushing
by the door and, ergo: Build good roads.
you also suggest in another editorial
that with better understanding, di
vergent views might be harmonised at
the "good roads day" meeting of the
uregon Development league at Astoria.
As a mere atom who does not own or
use an automobile, I would like to make
suggestion to the automobile people
themselves whereby all the differences
and misunderstandings can be elimin
ated. - - : ,
The first and greatest Is: Let a res
olution be Introduced by some auto en
thusiast or dealer, advocating a law
making it a misdemeanor, punishable
by both fine and jail sentence, for an
auto to be used on tha public high
way geared so It can run faster than
the legal rate, and let the resolution
be adopted. The maximum speed al
lowed- under tha law aa you state Is H
miles an hour.' That la faster than ft
ought to. be, A driver of a team going
10 miles an hour would be arrested for
fast driving. Why not the same speed
for aa autoT ftBut if a .machine Is
geared t not go faster -than tha legal
rate, It will not ' jgo faster. It won't
take half. o many "patrolmen and the
evidence Will be absolute and unques
tionable.' I suggested this, during the
session of the legislature, through your
columns, over my initials, anil ( hap.
pen to know of members, of 'that body
who were atraia to introduce sucn an j
amendment' y- ' !';. r.. ; .
Tba second thing Is for tha auto pao-
pie to show a willingness for each coun
ty to say where Its roads shall be built,
so they will dot be suspected of trying
to use their powerful Influence on a
"commission" or "superintendent" for
tha building of roads that will ba mere
ly speedways for autos. The farmers
and ordinary cltlsens of Oregon ara not
earrled away with (ha idea that an
"Alaska-to-MexIco" highway is worth
what It would cost The average far
mer would rather have part of the road
fund expended on tha cross roftM that
leads out. to his own and nis neign
bora' farms (ban to anjoy seeing
streak of dust pass on some one long
highway through tha state, even if it
contains - soma eastern or foreign mil'
llonalre. It might possibly ba worth
a few dollars, to a hotel or real estate
man, but. he falls to see where bis ben
efit eomes In. :
In an humble occupation I have been
around among tha farmers of Oregon
considerably and It Is a straight tip to
the jby riders and' auto dealers that
despite all the sentiment tbey may at
tempt to create Just as sura as they get
a set of laws enacted such as they at
tempted In tha last legislature, tbey
will meet a referendum' and be defeated
by the people. Again I say, let them
show their good faith by declaring for
autos with no high' gear on. when on
the public highway.

A Queen With Nothing to Arbitrate,
From the New York world.
Statesmen may confer over treaties
of arbitration, but if the queen of Eng
land, as was elegantly said In New York
a few days ago, ; "slaps your wire's
face," what la there to do but load the
gun and grind tha sword T ..
It appears that her majesty of Great
Britain and Ireland baa figuratively
slapped the faces of several American
wives, and .ths worst of It Is that she
threatens others. On tha subject of
divorcees she has opinions not only, but
convictions. ; She will not receive them,
She refuses to arbitrate. Thus the very
crisis which every lover- of peace has
been dreading Is seen to be at hand..
In this country wife Is a wife, no
matter by what method, direct or clr
cul.tous, she may have been obtained. If
anybody slaps her face it means war.
Unhappily a good many American wives
of that sort that seek royal favor have
bad mora experience wtth parsons than
with undertakers. Tbey Are not wanted
at court Unhappily again, the affront
Is aimed only at tba United States, for
there Is no favored nation. Divorced
women elsewhere do pot at once aspire
to-the highest social circles of London.
" President Taft and Foreign Secretary
Grey have about agreed that questions
of honor can ba arbitrated. What Will
they do with the mora difficult prob

Jsmee J. Hill, ', empire builder of the
northwest and who for a .generation
has been advocating reciprocity with
Canada, thus dismissed further discus
sion of ths opposition of the senior sen
ator from this state to. the Canadian
reciprocity pact . ..-'
Mr. 11111 was seen at tha' offices of
ths Northern Securities company yes
terday by an American reporter, lie
was rushed with business, ss ha al
ways Is after arrival - in New York,
but he is so Interested la tha auccaas
of the trade agreement between ths
united Ptatae and Canada negotiated
by President Taft that he stopped all
wnrs to iaiR anouc nis favorite subject
wnetv reminded that opposition seemed
strong among. tha farmers of his own
part of tha country, he shook his aria-
sled head Impatiently and said: -
"It's a ghost dance that's all It 1st"
By -this time Mr. . Hill had stepped
out of kn elevator la the Mutual Life
bunding, holding to an arm of the
reporter, and dashed Into Nassau street
with the agility of a youngster. .
Clutching the reporter's arm. he
pushed Ms way through Hhe jostling
crowd Ibat lines that thoroughfare at
tbat hour and almost dragged hie com
panlon down the street toward the cen
ter of tha financial district, where he
bad an engagement with tbe laugh
of a Btentor ba rapeated:
it's a ghost dance. The farmers of
tha northwest are not opposed to reel
proclty with Canada. X group of poli
ticians up there who are being pulled
by strings that .lie beyond their do
main are taring to excite the farmers.
ust aa the medicine men, er snake
doctors, used to do among the Indian
tribes In the early days when devilment
was afoot These anake doctors would
lt the Indians around a camp - fire
sad start a ghoat dance that worked
them up into t frightful fury. Then
tha Indians would go out and ravage
tha white, settlements.
"But these snake doctors that are bow
trying to ralae tha devil in the north
west ara finding out that the ghost-
dance game can't ba worked oa the
palefaces .up there.
President Taft told the real truth
about it in bis speech In Chloago re
orally. Ha hit tha - nail squarely on
the head when ba declared that only a
few politicians In our section of the
country ara declaiming against reci
procity with Canada."
Mr. Hill had reached nis destination
at thla point of tbe . conversation. Ha
stopped on tha first step of tbe big
financial house at which ha had a press
Ina encasement and so absorbed .was
be In his subject that he continued to
talk-
"Wheat" in Minneapolis yesterday,"
he went on, "was f cents lower than it
was In Winnipeg. It Is (00 miles be
tween tha two cities, each of which Is
tha cantor of tha wheat Industry of
Its section.
"It costs t cents a bushel to haul
wheat from Winnipeg to Minneapolis.
Yes, sir, Cents a bushel. Then how
can anybody claim that reciprocity with.
Canada will mean the ruin of tha grain
industry in the northwest or any ether
part of our country? Such talk is fool
ish. It makes me tired. It Is tha
gabble of the snake doctors who are
trying to start a ghost dance.
"Do you know." Mr. Hill inquired.
his eyes biasing with enthusiasm, 'that
wa now do an annual business of 10,
000.000 with Canada? I wonder If Sen
ator Root stopped to think about that
before he adopted bis queer course?
"These figures mean ' that we do a
per capita business of IS1 a year with
Canada and that the balance of trade
in our favor is 111 per capita.
Why, we do only 117 par capita
of business a year with all of Great
Britain.
"Tba southern people and their rep-
reeentativea at Washington have a live
lier appreciation of the prospect af
forded by the reciprocity sgreement
with Canada than have those of the
noftffiaVThey see that with even the
limited form of free trade offered by
the pact the market for their cotton
goods and raw cotton will be enlarged,
as wall as that for other ot their farm
and manufactured articles.
"We have tha Canadian marker right
at our back door. We are looking for
markets In all other parts of the world,
where our advantage cannot possibly
be one half so good as in Canada.
"Wa have overloaded our consump
tive capacity and wa must find an out
let In order to prolong our prosperity.
In dealing with Canadians it is lust
like dealing witn our own noma roia.
We have to do no special packing of our
manufactures In order to suit the pe
culiar tastes or forms of Canadian buy
ers, as wa have- to do for nearly every
ether foreign market And we don't
bave to break bulk In transporting ship
ments to Canada.
"The situation Is so plain, so clear,
so obvious and so tempting that I can
not understand how any sane Ameri
can can hesitate to embrace It."
