' The death at dawn of the four New
Tork gunmen is not a mere occur
rence a I thousand miles away; an af
fair of plot and murder and retribution
which does not conoern us. It con
cerns every one of us, who. Inhabiting
this strange and irresponsible land of
the free, have permitted such irre
sponsible beings as these to run their
course, and have made liberty a men
ace. The definite, limited plot having- its
terrible climax in the xjeatn of Rosen
thal, and its more terrible climax in
the death of the gunmen, may belong
to New Tork city, to Its administering
of liberty as well as of Justice. But
after all, the plot was against civiliza
tion, - t-hese men had a feud against
civilization, and we let them run their
course. The whole thing arraigns the
whole people.
Here were four r men, very young
men, of older civilizations where life
Is lived differently, where each indi
vidual of the nation is constantly un
der surveillance, where no man is
given his free opportunity, either for
greatness or. for lowness. - These four
gunmen may all have been born in this
country; they are young- enough to
have been of the second generation.
But they are of the nationalities which
have never accepted the "American
ism" of. our country, and not yet have
we sufficiently understood the danger
which lies in our neglect to complete
"Americanization" of foreigners.. The
G-hettO and Little Italy of New Tork,
but also of other cities, is left to draw
Its lines sharply, to set Itself apart
within the city, and to maintain isola
tion. ; v
If these men were born here, of Ital
ian and Jewish parents, they lived as
much apart from the rest of us as
though they were still an ocean away.
But Just outside the boundaries of the
Ghetto and Little Italy, lay this
strange land of freedom, whloh was in
truth so alien to them. Little or noth
ing had been done to prepare them for
their life in it. We have been pos
sessed of a curious fatalistic belief
that since liberty ia the finest thing a
man can have he will be prepared by
the gods for liberty.
We '.whose ideal ia liberty, and who
have been prepared for such freedom
by centuries of development In temper
ate zones and with slow-Increasing, in
telligent appreciation, have not under
stood or coped with the problem of fit
ting men from other, climates and other
nations and other ideals to this high
and dangerous opportunity of freedom.
In Italy, In Germany, in Russia, from
which countries these men probably
came, either themselves or their par
ents, governments do oppress their
people, do maintain a strict watch over
them, do limit their possibilities. But
they limit also their possibilities for
evil. And the church supervision of
these men, Catholic and Jewish, Is the
closest supervision which the world
"Last week I celebrated my eighty
eighth birthday," said Rjev. Charles K.
Mattoon. "i , was born In New Tork
state on April 9, 182. ;X have been a
Baptist minister In Oregon for mors '
than SO years. My people as far bac .
as I know were old-school Presbyter
tans and they were all great mathe- -matlcians.
The Presbyterianfsm didn't
take, the mathematics did. guess I
decided not to be a resbyterlan. Just
because they took It forgranted I
would be and I like to be on ne op
posite side of things so as to have -something
to argue about. I went to
a Presbyterian college in Ohio, the -old
Central college." I taught school .
ior a Tew years In Ohio but in the
spring of 1851 I decided, to go'west.
I srkrted for Oregon from Ohio. At a i
littlq town on the Missouri river called :
Oregon I fell in with a party of ami :
grants bound for the Willamette val
ley. Captain David Clinton was In
charge of the party. He told me he
would board me and sleep me If I
would drive his loose stock across the
plains. Rev. G. C. Chandler and his
wamily and Rev; J. S. Read with his."
family, were in our party.
"Pioneers talk a lot about being wor- ;
rled by the Indians coming across the ;
plains. ' We had a peculiar experience -with
them. Captain Clinton told my
self and another young man to s "
ahead one afternoon to pick out a good
camping place for the wagon train.
' We were near the Platte river. We
rode on to a place called Ash Hollow,
1 Suddenly we rode loin the outskirts
i of a party of 400 SiouxMndians. My
companion was badly scared and to
tell the whole truth so was I. I could
feel my scalp kind of tickle. The dif
ference was, though, he couldn't con
ceal his fright while I did. The min
ute he caught, sight of them he satd:
'Lets cut and run for It. I said:
The only thing to do is to ride boldly
up and ask for the chief. If they want -to
kill us our running won't help mat
ters any.' j
"He came along and let me carry j
out my program. The chief asked u" j
how many were In our party and a lot j
of other- question. I knew he must
know and If he didn't he would soon j
find out so I answered truthfully all i
his questions. He sent an Indian witn- '
us to pick out a good camping ground. :
We then went back to bring on fhe '
wagon train. That night the chief and ;
a few of his sub-chiefs came to Cap- 1
tain Clinton's tent and held a council, i
The chief said: "Tou and others are '
coming through our country without i
knows, with a very acute understand- J "; wanted or without asking our
ing that men cannot be left to them-
Lselves, that the struggle Is too great
for them unless they are amea, and
particularly that the decision between
right and wrong is practically Impos
sible for the mind which has not been
-highly developed and not always then.
Tet in America we do not watch the
unsuspected, suspecting that he may
sometimes be tempted; and In America
we 'do not give him spiritual counsel
and support from such early days that
permission. Tou are scaring our game -
away and spoiling our drinking' placea, :
Tou will soon be -taking our land. Wy,
do not want you. Since you are here
we will see that you are not molested ;
while you are In our country but we '
do not want you to stay here. - Cap-!
tain Clinton gave the chief a yearling
steer.
"The chief divided his band into tw?
parts. One party went ahead of us the
other came after us. They stayed with j
us for the next 200 miles.) When we '
came to Fort Laramie the chief said:
he knows by second instinct what is
right and wrong. They fail, these other , 'I have conducted you safely through
strictly- supervising countries and
churches; that Is very true. But they
do not fall as often as we do. And the
question today is of our failure, and
what we are going to do about it. We
must, as a nation, accept greater and
more immediate responsibility, for
every child and every man, whether
born here or lured here by the terrible
and beautiful lure of freedom, t

Somebody worked It out for me. the
other day" this way:
Ten years ago you put $500 in a sav.
ings bank. At that time -you could
have supported your family six months
on that sum. In 10 years you have
added to your savings through interest
earnings : about $220 you now have to
your credit about $720. But you now
find that you can't buy as much food
and shelter and oomfort for your fam
ily with; $720 as you could 10 years
ago with $500! :
Cost of living has gone up faster
than the earning power of savings.
If you had said, "I will save up to
buy a piano for my daughter," you
will find that the piano's price has
risen more than 4 per cent a year,
while you have been getting JUst 4
per cent for your saved money. It
would have paid you better to buy the
piano with borrowed money!
A tops-turvy sort of world it's been
for some years, hasn't it? We plain
Americans, inclined .to value thrift,
have been puzzled; many of us have
been seriously turned from saving
when we figured that we were actual- i
ly losing money by putting It in a !
savings bank; we have tried to dip into
the current of g-et-rich-QUlck promo
tions flowing past us.
So much for the promoter to do
so much real development possible atl

who saw an opportunity to make dol
lars Increase 'could get his dollars,
what prodigious stores of new wealth
would be the world's!

to get such a permit now.
I was In Virginia City.'Nev., in 1864.

and holdups were rare, for the reason
that the bandits generally got the

the stage came to an abrupt stop. rA
bandit stood ln front of the horses and
another grabbed at the door of the

Complains of Employment Agencies
Portland.' April 16. To the Editor of
The Journal I would like to call the
attentionj of the people to a condition
of affairs which is a disgrace to civ
ilization.! I refer to the employment
agents arid their way of doing business.
It is a well known fact, to mgst peo
ple, that! these sharks take advantage
of the working people who are forced
to go to: them for Jobs. Now I think
the remedy Is to pass a law prohibiting
them from doing business. Then the
state or; cities can take care of the
employment business, thereby insuring
a square; deal for the' vgorktng- people.
