It would af- "xord Si splendid chance for a man who had a little spite to make ' It a aharp jtwo-edged aword by which he could run the legislature. I am very akeptlcal about this. , , Dr. I Smith takes an exactly op posite I view. In his address at Salem (Wednesday evening, he urged the need of a measure giving the governor authority to veto single ' Items jin -appropriation bills, as a check j upon the log rolling; that prevails In every legislature to the consequent burden of the' taxpay ers. Representative Weeks," who -was ah active member at the last session, and who has been renomi nated by the Marlon county Repub licans,! strongly supported Dr. Bmlth'e view and took Issue with -Dr. Wthycombe. -He said: The I general appropriation bill passed! by the last legislature was the moat abominable bill I ever voted . for. I think every man ought to ad vocate! a law giving the governor power i to veto alngle items. Under the present system. Items are sand wiched; in the general appropriation bill and we have to vote for them. In his opposition to the plan, ' Dr. Withycombe shows great faith In the! legislature. It Is a greater faith In that body than is generally entertained. looks to me like It would give the a letter to the, owner of the auto mobile calling attention to the oc currence and inviting cooperation In lessening the danger from acci dent. The regulation also acts as a .check on the locomotive engineer as it gives the automobillst a chance to call the railway official's attention to a failure of an en gineer to blow his whistle or ring his bell -at a crossing. At Grants Pass and Medford the railroad track divides the cities ap proximately in half and for two days a careful check of the travel across the track was kept. The re sults were interesting. The' first day at Grants Pass 2998 pedestrians crossed. Only 53 of these paid the slightest attention. On the sec ond day 2773 persons ' crossed and only 13,8 looked br listened for an approaching train. During the two days 1229 automobiles crossed and only one driver stopped, to look. Of the 918 horse dran vehicles only 151 halted long enough for the driver to take a glimpse of the track. The Southern Pacific estimates that in Portland the public roads cross the track in 119 places Over these some 30,000 trains pass annually. In yiew of this heedlessness it is surprising that the. number of accidents is not greater. 5 COMPUTING CITIES BUT A' AZEL POLLOCK, an educated and attractive Chicago girl, stole , hundreds of v dollars worth of jewelry. She was a feminine . Raffles; her thefts were proved and confessed. , But a grand jury refused to indict her. Physicians attached to the newly established psychopathic laboratory in connection with the municipal court found that the girl was suf fering ,from nervous, overstrain, due, in large part, to a hard strug gle for aft education. They, re ported to the grand Jury hat com mitment of the girl to a penal in stitution would mean the' probable destruction of both mind and char acter. Hazel Pollock, instead of going to prison, will be cared for In an effort to give her woman hood a rebirth. It this girl again steals, or Is even suspected of stealing, Bhe will be cited as Illustration of misplaced confidence. Peopl-r will say that sentimentalists saved her from pun ishment' when she merited it. But the incident -has value, whatever may be the future of Hazel Pol lock, . It is demonstration of the intel ligent effort now being made to get behind the criminal and dis cover the cause of the crime. It is illustration of the changed at titude of society toward many con victed of crime. Under the old dispensation punishment of the criminal was the only objective; under the new,' punishment is still a corrective, but there Is a further earnest effort to get at the crime Itself and remedy conditions which may cause It.

To the Editor of The Journal I quite disagree with the answer to "A Common Question" by 'A Man Creature." in last Sunday's Journal, namely on the outside or between his compan ions when escorting two ladies V My experience la that it is better to walk between, as when passing a crowd you simply step back of : the lady on the right and allow the second lady to step behind you. In so doing you pro tect them both. Likewise, with one lady, always keep the lady to your right and in passing anyone you simply slow down a paco or two, stepping behind the lady, thus affording her better; protection than to have her on tbe left side and either forcing her to jump ahead of you or drop behind, and - possibly allowing someone to get between, thus putting her in an awkward position and run ning chances of getting lost entirely in a crowd, while by keeping the lady eral trade commission bill, of provi sions declaring 'unfair competition to be 'unlawful, and prescribing that the commission is hereby empowered and directed to prevent .corporations from using unfair methods of competition in commerce.'

The condition that has been as well aa the condition the Democratic party atrlvlng to estabUah, are well de scribed in an editorial in tha Indian- apolis News, which says: - "A ' treat and in some respects a wonderful system had been built up largely on privilege tariff and other. Through enormous contributions to campaign funds the great trusts and railroads purchased favors from ths government. A few men, with a direct and selfish Interest in the matter, de- lded what our taxes should be. It was a veritable feudal system based. not on birth, but on wealth and usurped power. It Is afeainst this system that the national administration, backed by the people, haa arrayed itself. We are seeking some measure of democracy in trade and commerce, aa we have it in politics. We have today and may we continue to -laave a government that la at least stronger than the stee; truat. And with It we shall have a more widely diffused prosperity and a greater command of the good things of life than we have ever had. The people have resolved that this country shall be what it waa meant to be tha country of the average man. What ever suffering there is la due to the fact that the evils were allowed to grow to such enormous proportions as to make their eradication extraordi narily difficult. The blame must rest, not on those who are now trying t right the wrongs, but on those who sal still and allowed them to reach thei? present proportions." In talking tO tha nlnnur, vnn will , find that a large majority of them came from Kentucky, Tennessee, Vir ginia or worth Carolina; that la. If wey tuemselvee were not born there, their parents war and came west by ' aay stages flrat to Illinois or Ohio' and then on to Missouri, which waa me jumping off place from which the emigranta atarted for Oregon. n talking with Charlea Bolda, one of the veterana of the Cayuaa Indian , war, ne eaid: "Next year I will have been In Oregon 70 yeare.

They were both hom in tucky. When I was 18 yeara old that waa In J 840 I moved to St. Clair coun ty. Mo. There was a lot of talk in those days about coming to Oregon, ao ln the spring of 1S4 5 I hired out to John Potter to drive one of his teams 10 uregon. when I got to the forks of the road near Fort Hall, where one trail led southward to California Tot ter deelded to go to California.

We had some pretty good people !n our train people who have left their In fluence in Oregon; people like Bollver Walker and his brother. Claiborne Walker, and other men of that type. We took up a donation land claim ln the forka of Beaver crek, a few miles south of Oregon City, not far rrom what Is now the town of New Era. 'When the news of Whitman's mas sacre came down to Oregon City there w an instant .response when volun teers were called for. Everybody felt so strongly about It that even the girls at Oregon City wouldn't go with a young fellow who refused to enlist. I joined Captain Maion'a company, but . later 1 went with Captain Philip Thompson's company. Colonel Gilliam was our colonel. We went up Into the Walla Walla country to try to capture tne murderers who had taken part In the Whitman massacre. We fooled . away a lot of time with peace talks with the Indians trying to get thera to bring In lh murderers. Finally Colonel Gilliam derided to give the In diana a peacf talk with our guns that would keep iheni peaceful for awhile, so we struck out after them. We over took them on the Tukannon. The In dians came out with a whit,pg tied to a stick. We wanted Co fire at them, but Colonel Gilliam said. "Boys, theae are I'alouse Indians; them are peace ful. We do not want to kill the wron Indians.' The Indians we were after seemed to have got away, no Gilliam said to uk, "Gather up all the stork you can get hold of-and we will .tart back to Whitman Mission.' Then peaceful Indians that came out to ua with a white rag on a stirk, when they saw we were Koing to take the horses and cattle, began to follow us, (shoot ing at us from back of the hruuli and rocks. ANe kept up a running fight all day. "It wag a naty night cold and dis agreeable and we hadn't had anything to eat all of the preceding day. That night we cooked some horse meat over our camp fires by cutting It up In strips and toasting It on the ramrods over the fire. Karly In the morning the Indiana started ln on um again, eo Colonel Gilliam gave orders to turn th stock loose no the Indians would quit bothering ua. , After Colonel Gilliam had been shot through the head an-l killed by accident, the governor ap pointed H.
