FEW SMILES PERTINENT COMMENT AND NEWS IN BRIEF "Did A FALSE OATH NOBOUx aouDts mac mere is great strength in the Wilson cabinet. There is general 'j conviction that William Gi&bs McAdoo is one of its strongest figures. He was born amid the ruin that General Sherman left, in his march to the sea. His rise from the depths of poverty to his present -conspTcuous position and standing, Is example of the possibilities that environ the pathway of American youth and give the lie to those who insist that this is no longer a land of opportunity, i Mr;. McAdoo saw the time, as a boy,, jwhen he was glad to- earn nine cents a day, or 64 cents a week. His first rise in life was when he was ame, as a junior in college, to earn $2 a day as a copyist In the circuit court. -From that to a graduation, a law practice in Chat tanooga, and thence to New York and the construction of tunnels under the Hudson between Jersey City and Manhattan, is the rapid and almost romantic advance of secretary of the is in the I present treasury. ', It I was in his daily journeying from! Jersey City across the Hud son by boat to New York that Mr. McAdoo conceived the idea of the tunnels. When told on occasions to wait for the next boat the hnsy brain that had forced the rise from j the poverty of a ruined plan tation in Georgia to high position In the national metropolis, grap pled itbe great issue of a better facility for passing between the two cities. Hundreds of thousands of others had also been told to wait ifor the next boat, but It was the McAdoo mind that was made active by the problem, and it was1 the McAdoo mind and the MoAdoo energy that, with Indomitable reso lution drove the great tunnels un . der the Hudson. They are, a splen- did example of j McAdoo achieve ment and a noble monument to his genius. j But perhaps It is as secretary of the treasury that Mr. McAdoo has rendered his most exalted service. His act in placing ; vast stores of money in the national treasury at the disposal of the country in moving the late cropB was a splen did statesmanship. It checked the contraction of credit that waa al ready country wide, and opened to farmers and bankers an easy way to market the output of American fields. It brushed aside financial fears that were gathering : and set the (business of the country free i However, ihe greatest business to Which Mr. McAdoo has ever ad dressed himself was the part he played In bringing forward and helping push to a final completion the f new. currency : system which brings the secretary of the treas nryl and his colleagues on the regional bank pommittee to Port lanrj tomorrow. I I j It Is a system, that congresses and committees of congress had dreamed of for nearly a generation. J It is syBtem that statesmen and cabinets and presidents I had sought for, but never dared to grapple. It remained j for a man who was ! once a penniless Georgia boy to Join with a president and a con green, and the 6ame powers of i mind, the same indomitable pur 1 pose and the same restless energy thjat built the Hudson river tun nels, helped to fashion and fix ; into the statute law of the nation i the measure that emancipates American business, liberates Amer I lean credit, and stands as a part of the new birth of American free UDGE MORROW'S offense serious. The statements his oath before the secretary of state in several instances are not true. If the oah bound asseverations of a judge are false, how fares it with the solemnities and Issues of justice In such a court? In his latest application for salary, Judge Morrow made oath as follows: I, Robert G. Morrow, Judge of the Fourth Judicial District of the State of Oregon, In pursuance of the pro visions of Chapter 43. Laws of 1911, do hereby certify, that all matters submitted to me as Circuit Judge for decision three months or more prior to the execution of this voucher have been decided; and that no matters are pending before me as Circuit Judge that have been finally submitted to mo for three months or more prior hereto. Bobert G. Morrow. Subscribed and sworn to before me this 31st day of December, A. D. 1913. J. F, Wood, Notary Public for Oregon. At the timer this oath was made a number of "matters submitted to me as Circuit Judge for decision three months or more prior to the execution of this voucher" had not been decided. There was then un decided in his court the suit re straining the city from enforcing the bonding .ordinance for hotels and rooming houses, Though a case of very great " importance, it had been argued before Judge Morrow December 17, 1912, more than a year prior to the making of the salary oath. It was then, and still Is, undecided. There was the case of the St. Johns Lumber Company versus Robert Britz, Kate H. Holcomb and others, under advisement by Judge Morrow since December 7, "1912, a period of a year and a month prior to the making of the salary oath. Among numerous other cases is the personal Injury suit of Anna Backstrom versus the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. The plaintiff was Injured in an ac cident on Grand avenue during the Rose Festival two years ago, when her buggy was struck by a street car. The attorneys f6r the com pany filed a technical motion, and on or about the 19th of March, 1913, the issue, was argued. Though it is more than ten months since the matter was submitted, the motion is still undecided, and the woman's case is believed to be virtually lost because of the dis appearance of witnesses. With such a matter pending, there can be no excuse, no explana tion, no apology for Judge Mor row's salary oath In which he stated that "all matters submitted to me as Circuit Judge for decision three months or more prior to the execution of this voucher, have been decided." There is no excuse, explanation or apology for a false oath. RMED with a pistol and am munition, two of the idle Jlieu HI tuw Vjipojr oiuiiu avu-1 ditorium went on an enter-1 a a I f .

CANADIAN IMMIGRATION I dbm. I A WARNING TO PARENTS I FINE SPUN ARGUMENTS enator, Sutherland of Utah has attacked the right of Blair Lee of Maryland to a seat in the senate. Mr. Lee as elected iby popular vote last bvember, and the senate commit tee on elections reported favorably upon seating him. ' The Utah senator, who is a law- r, contended that neither the seventeenth amendment providing four, the direct election of senators, nor the laws of Maryland;! author lid the governor to call k special election to fill V Vacancy In the senate. Senator Kern said, the case had been so thoroughly presented to the committee that he felt It unnecessary to defend Mr. Lee's l right to a seat. . t. V :' .. The Sutherland argument-.was that the Maryland special; election should have been called only after tbe legislature had passed tan en abling act. An opinion by the Maryland at to rheyi general land a decision of the Maryland appellate fourt to the effect that the state's N THESE days of psychologists, sociologists, alienists, experts and other species of faddist, we are constantly meeting sur prises and shocks. Thus, a Bostom school expert who has been investigating condi tions of study and deportment among public school children, finds that "the mental life predominates in January and February," while boys and girls "are lowest from the viewpoint of good citizenship dur ing March, parr of April and Oc tober." Good boys, the expert avers, are at their best at 10 o'clock in the morning and bad boys at their worst at three and four in the afternoon. He- urges that parents should make their appeals accord ingly. I j How wonderfully! discerning the professional psychologists are,; to discover that boys are worst! as to citizenship in March, April and October, when! thefe are no wa termelons on the vine, a discovery that will be vaguely questioned by the Intensely practical man who was himself ohce a boy. ! How about the dependability of the other discovery that boys are at their worst j at threg and four o'clock in the afternoon, which is about the time they are due! at the old swimmin' hole and when their behavior with !Pa or a or the teacher used to be exemplary be cause it was the best way to get permission to go to the river? Boys are boys.v and there is some, doubt about the fine i expert distinction that finds a boy most mental in January and February at & time when; perforce his love of adventure can, on account of Winter storms only find Its perfect expression in canning the dog's tail persecuting the Cat, teasing other children and upsetting the i house hold generally with noise and non sense. . . . ' . psychologists are psychologists MMIGRATION to Canada and the United States has developed contrasting problems. In this country tbere Is a demand for laws which will limit the number of foreigners" coming to America, while in Canada the problem la to keep immigrants as permanent resident. Canadian official reports say that during the past six years 616,112 Americans entered Canada for the purpose of settling. In the same period 694,919 people left Canada for the United States, leav ing a net gain of only 21,193 to Canada's credit in the exchange of immigrants. Last year about 54,000 Ameri cans who emigrated to Canada re turned to- the United States, but dominion authorities say this back ward flow was nearly double what it was in any of the fiye former years. They Insist that Canada has lost Only a minor fraction ot her American Immigrants, explain ing the figures by saying that the Canadian immigration department has spent large sums of money to bring people across the seas only to Increase the population of the United States. If the figures are authentic they have large significance on this side of the boundary line. Canadian immigrants are assisted, and the charge is being made that domin ion agents In Great Britain and continental Europe have attempted to make a quantity rather than a quality record. It is charged that the immigration department is run in a loose manner, the agents pa'y Ing little regard to the desirabil ity of people sent over to become citizens. Canadian cities have an unem ployment problem, made more dif ficult by the rigorous climate. The problem has been made complex because of Immigrants flocking to the cities, and it would be much further from solution had not many of Canada's unemployed im migrants moved on to the United States. try? Who ever heard of the leasing plan, as followed in Minnesota and Colorado, benefiting anyone except the capitalist? How is this plan going to prevent this coal from being Guggen helmed? It certainly did not in Colo rado or Minnesota. The consumer Is not very much interested In the name of the capitalist who mines the coal, but is greatly Interested in tbe price or that coal. What is the use of building the rail road with public money If it is to be leased by private interests? Statistics tell us that 87 per cent of tbe people own 13 per cent of the wealth In this country. We have got to have more legislative action in favor of those of tbe 17 per cent, or general government ownership, with the government reDresentlnr all the people, will be the result, just as sure as the sun shines. unaer present living conditions a man with .a family of not over two children, working for 13.60 per day, here In our prosperous city, may be able to earn a home in 10 or 12 years. if ha can work every day of all those years and has no sickness or bad luck. The writer knows of one man with a family of one child, who has worked for. one company for 14 years, who does not drink nor spend monev fool ishly, and still has 1200 to pay on his iittie noma. In the east there are millions of men working for $1.65 per day, and no nope or ever having their own homes. If any man doubts these assertion. I Invite him to take his family and get out and earn his and their living on me sianaara wages for one year. Then, perhaps, he would be qualified to say whether the unemployed have been slothful or wasteful and whether or not tney failed to improve their op portunity. H. D.

To the Editor of The Journal For some time I have been watching the accounts of th numerous accidents caused by auto I mobiles, and it seems as if Portland Is holding records for people getting Killed or maimed by careless drivers of autos two deaths In a week, and four maimed. It seems there la no way out of It with coroner's juries holding drivers blameless. The police force at present doesn't do anything, for reasons unknown. Tbe speed limit should not be more than five miles an hour in the congested district. If the owner of a pair of horses should ex ceed five miles he would be fined, but the auto fiend is going IS and 20 right along, nor does he consider the right of pedestrians. If Portland does not want 100 deaths from those fiends, something will have to be done. No autos should be permitted on cer tain streets, and a five mile limit should be imposed as to others. If tbe police oannot stop this, the people will find Other means, such as a ten mile limit on highways and four miles In cities. This can be done by the legislature; besides, the highways are being damaged by the autos, as the wheels throw all dirt from them, mak ing roads uneven. I think a tax from $25 to $100, to be paid according to & machine's use. would aid the roads, and should be levied to help keep roads In repair. What has become of the One Hundred club? A.

To the Editor of The Journal Kindly allow me space In your paper, of which I am a con stant reader, to express a vleW that is not only mine, but also that of bun dreds of Portland's honest working people, In regard to a statement in an article In yesterday's Journal, under the headline, "Immigrants Bound Here Promised Jobs." It is stated that they have no visible means of support. It is strictly against the Immigration laws Of our country to admit them. Not . only that, but goodness knows there are enough of that kind of peo pie here now, dependent upon the city of Portland (including myself), and If the poor boob of a contractor men tlorted In The Journal article, who says he will give them work, will take walk around this good city with some official of the city, or with the gen tleman, that runs the city employment office, he will discover that there Is no need to bring any more men here for th city to keep than what It has al ready. And if he will stop to think that the people ot the city of Portland are ariving him his bread and butter by letting him contracts tn this city, he will probably get it into his head that if Be can give employment to 12 men he can get them right here, without sending to New York for them or try ing to get our Immigration laws broken by his promise of labor to them, and he will be doing some good to our city.

To the Editor of The Journal I have been reading the various articles on dsnclng, re cently published in The Journal. Some of these I read with pleasure and all of them with profit. He who speaks or writes In defense of the fence does SO, not Uecause oi any ijiorai excel lence he sees In it. but because of hi love for this form of amusement, while those who speak or write against it, do bo tn order that they may aid la safe-guarding tne. young ana inexper ienced, and i thereby aid them In the development of moral excellence and spiritual power. - The letter written by A. M. Brown was to me tbe most convincing. I most heartily agree that the dance is evil in all Its forms. Any argumei t in its defense Is as baseless aa that put up in defense of the liquor traffic So far. tbe only attack on the article written by Mr. Brown waa made by Mrs. Holts of Portland. Sh wanted to know if Mr. Brown had ever danced, and reminded i.im .that if he never did, he was in ignorance as to what be wa talking about. A clever dodge is this just as though the man was blind to observation and deaf to testimony.
