THE ORC AT SPRING DRIVE
F
OUT Y-T II R E E Republican
newspapers outside of Port
land joined In the attempt to
read Secretary of State Ol-
cott out of the Republican party.
Among the promises made men
whom agents of the Withycombe
administration sought to bring out
as ,a candidate, was that a large
number of newspapers would be
delivered to the support of the man
who, would, run against Olcott.
.Thai nnmhor tnrna nut. tn haVa
been 43.. They were active ana
aggressive. Many of them printed
columns of matter assailing the
I Republicanism of Mr. Olcott. They
i hissed and sneered. They bludg
eoned and blustered. They accepted
the press agent stuff sent out of
Portland and printed it as their
thoughts and their conclusions.
'And the state employes sent
over the state and Into Portland
to Influence the voting, worked
like beavers. They distributed
cards, made personal appeals and
told everybody tbat Mr. Olcott Is
no Republican.
And the deputy game wardens
and, other attaches of tbe Withy
combe administration, beat the
bushes, rushed the voters and ped
died everywhere the claim that
Olcott Is not a Republican.
, And the big chief at Salem sent
out private and very confidential
letters appealing to his friends to
support Mr. Moores, in which ac
tion tbe governor of a great state,
as head of his political machine,
got out Into the trenches and did
service on the earthworks like
private soldier.
It was a great spring drive. With
the Oregon! an and Telegram using
asphyxiating gases, the 43 up-state
papers made the whole earth shake
with round on round from 42-centl-
meter howitzers.
-- The carnage until primary day
was f jarful. The slaughter was
almost Indescribable, until the elec
tion returns came in.
' The answer of the Republican
voters to the great drive was some
thing like 17,000 majority for Sec-
.retary Olcott. He carried every
county.
. Some .day, it should occur to
jtne up-state Republican newspa
pers to do their own thinking and
to write as they think. The repu
diatldn of them in their own coun
'ties4 by the Republicans who do
their own thinking and vote as
,: they think, would seem, to suggest
' to these newspapers never again
to permit themselves to be deliv
red to the support of anybody ex
cept such as their own careful
'analysis snail approve, to never
'again permit themselves to be
pledged In advance as an asset of
a state house and Oregonian ma
chine, never again to be misled
into an attempt to read out of the
Republican party an official whose
only offense Is that he is an ef
ficient public servant and that he
refused to deliver the power of his
office to spoils and spoilsmen.
' The weather man tells us that
the temperature yesterday morning
was ten degrees below normal.
-Probably on account of the sudden
lack of hot air at the close of the
primary campaign.
FREYE&TABLE INSANITY
a - N INTERESTING note la the
A i Medlcal Record tor-; May 6,
"V says that not more than 16
--per cent of the Insanity In
the country ' can be traced to or
ganic disease, of the brain. The
rest is due to causes which can be
prevented tortbe most part About
15 per cent is of "toxic'? origin.
Some of the toxins whlchv disturb
and finally destroy the mind origi
nate ia the Intestines by action of
bacilli, ( Better bodily habits would
of course present' this trouble.
But by far the most potent fac
tor in producing i toxic- insanity is
alcohol, which,"- as the. author says,
"sets up a wholly .preventable jsy-
chests' He favors "the general
suppression of the use of alcoholic
lirlnk"Ml believes that this, with
other hygienic measures which he
mentions, would In a few years
give ui "a quarter , less Insanity
and three fourths less reeblemind
edneas."' It Is well known to phy
sicians that much of the feeble
mindedness which so worries our
philanthropists, might be prevented
I
by giving children, proper food, i
"Beiateaness" in children is about
the same thing as starvation. Halt

THE HODGE VERDICT

of the Juvenile court will be greatly

diet agreed with the state. It
seems to be common sense, whether
within tae limit of technical legal
construction or otherwise.
The juvenile court is costing
much money, and there are without it will grow more valuable every

handling of Juvenile delinquency
that will stand the test of appellate
opinion.
Wlth high and mighty words the
Oregonlan points to the so-called ;
accuracy or its election returns.
Does that paper not remember that
In the primaries two years ago it
solemnly announced that J. D. Ab

when, in fact, Arthur Langguth re
ceived the nomination with a ma

are failures. So far as the poor
are concerned, it says, tbey seem
to get more substantial benefit
from street peddlers of provisions
than from any other marketing
agency.
In mo8t cities the authorities
have discouraged street peddlers.
Push carts, farmers' wagons, cor
ner fruit stands, all tend to disap
pear under the hand of public au
thority. A fact that does most to settle
controversies over street markets
is the patronage bestowed upon
them. If there are throngs of busy
buyers regularly about them as In
the case of the Yamhill markets
In Portland, It is evidence to the
public that Buch a process of mar
keting Is approved by the people.
WOULD FILL THE GULCHES
K
ESIDENTS of South Portland
are interested in a project
for beautifying the entrance
to Terwllliger boulevard and
for filling Marquam and Terwllli
ger gulches and converting them
Into a playground and athletic cen
ter for the ch(ldren and adults of
the South Portland district. The
South Portland Improvement asso
ciation, of which A. RoBensteln is
president, and the Shattuck Parent-
Teacher association, of which Mrs.
J. F. Kelly is president, are lead
ing the campaign. . , At the end of
Fifth street the entrance to the
boulevard has on either side many
unsightly shacks and broken down
fences. The plan provides for tbe
removal of these shacks .and the
planting of the narrow space be
tween the street and the hill or
the gulch as the case may be, with
shrubs and flowers. - ,
The gulches are unsightly and a
menace to public health. Some
garbage Is dumped there and about
this the children play. That South
Portland is in need of a public
playground is conceded by all,' as
under present conditions the . chil
dren are . obliged to play in the
street. The one thing urged against
I it is that there are those who
lnslstHiat . for the present money
should not be spent In large
amounts for public improvements.
No estimates have as yet been made
on the, cost. of the project. . V

It has been many years since

WILLIAM KELCH
T
HOSE who preach to us that
"war 18 needed to keep the
manly virtues alive" might
learn a lesson or two from
common facts. The window cleaner
who takes Ms life In his band as he
hangs out Into space from the sev-
enth or tenth story of a tall bulld-
ing can hardly be less brave than
the soldier who faces bullets. When,
a few days ago, William Kelch
fell by no fault of his own from a
wlndov to his death on the pave-J
ment far below, everybody felt that
here w&s a tragedy as solemn as
any fatality of vrar. The man met
his end doing his duty bravely and
well.

WAR CUREALLS
HE world Is full of curealls for
war. In the epidemic of choi
era every quack has an in
fallible dope which the patient
has only to swallow to recover his
health instantly. So in this time
of world wide war there are mul
titudes of recipes any one of which
will make such a calamity impossi
ble hereafter, Yon need only adopt
the dope of Professor . X, or swal
low the pill of the Reverend Mr.
Y and the dove of peace will hence
forth brood forever over the world.
We are prone to forget that; war
is not a simple' matter. , It. has
many causes, some of which- run
deep down among the roots of, hu
man li nature. ' Race . hatred; S the
memory,' of . old wrongs, the ambi
tion of rulers, commercial rivalry,
religious; differences social - unrest
at home, all play a part In stlrTlngIh,tweiach ,ever Into Montana aci

country commonly prefers a' for

r But there . Is another cause of
war which has received marked at
tention lately. . It is the natural
hunger of mankind for excitement.
Most people lead lives which are
rather drab. They have little nov-
elty, ,few changes, scant variety.
"The sun goes up. and the sun
goes down and: the day and the
night are all as one." Their in
born, craving for color, adventure,
interest is never satisfied.
To these peojler- ridden by mo

to the common mind. Several
magazine articles have taken up
the same theme. The classic ut
terance upon it is that of William
James, who taught us that we must
find a "moral substitute for war"
before we could hope to establish
permanent peace. The . obvious
"moral substitute" is to give the
common life of the people that
color and interest which, as condi

Genesis and Evolution.
Washougal, Wash., May 22. To the
Editor of The Journal In a letter In
Friday's Journal a correspondent in
quires which account of creation in
Genesis is the true one, and if it is
in harmony with organic evolution. If
the writer will turn to the first and
second chapters of Genesis he will See
that the first chapter simply states
that lod did do so, and in the sec
ond it tells how he did it, and the two
are but one record. And as for har
mony between the record and evolu
tion, by careful study one will see
that Genesis does not teach evolution
but creation, and to determine, which
of the two Is the more scientific I
will simply- quota from a few noted
men.
Frederick Wrightr D- D., in
writing on this subject says: "The
question at. Issue is, Is the parallel
between the two such as-to exclude
chance and to compel us to acknowl
edge the presence of design? The more
J Van h. ha, -ati-fied with anv the-
-1 .1.. ...M.n ( ti a
ory that rules out the idea of a de
sign in this parallelism. It could not
have been a matter of -mere chance
that a writer should describe the or
der of creation so nearly in accord
ance with the discoveries of modern
c ni.nr., Thm L-hrk w r f tha
testimony of the sacred writers cer
tainly do so in the face of evidence
that is ordinarily accepted aa con
clusive." Professor Dana, distinguished in
geological science, quotes approvingly
these words from Mr. Gladstone: "The
first chapter of Genesis was not writ
ten to teach science but not a single
fact of science can be found to dis
credit it.''
Professor L. T. Townsend, D. D., in
his book "Collapse of Evolution,'
writes: "It should be said at fnls
point that it the transmutation of spe
cies is not established,' then organic
evolution can have no scientific stand
ing. . . The reader is almost -entitled
to an apology for the repetition of so
called proofs of transmutation; some
time since overthrown, that are, never
theless, the stock in trade of scores
of men who appear tq be either un
pardonably Ignorant of - facts already
established, or else deliberately try-
inir to fool the public mind. .
The most thorough scholars, the
world's ablest philosophers and sci
entists, with few exceptions, are not
supporters, but assailants, of evolu
tion, - H. L. AHLSON.
Adam's Distinction,
Dallas. Or., May 20. To. the Editor
of The Journal In last night's Jour
nal appeared an interesting query from

REV. GEORGE H. BENNETT.
On Mistakes of Employers.
Portland. May 30. To the Editor of
The Journal I desire to make a brief
statement, hoping It may do some good,
and make employers more careful in
the treatment of their man.
On the part of some employers there
is an inclination to obtain a maximum
amount of work for a minimum of re
muneration. The employer who makes
this a part of his attitude toward his
employes very seldom reaps the reward
desired, because he gathers about him
men who are striving in a similar way
trying to get a maximum amount of
pay for a minimum amount of work.
"Some' bosses have the idea tbat in
order to get best results from their
men, they must be continually finding
fault. They have .the idea that the
man will become satisfied and attempt
to rest on the laurels already won, if
given a word of praise or encourage
ment. But such an idea Is contrary to
all human experiences. No man ever
accomplished anything great If he
knew he was striving for. the impossi
ble. Once convince a man that you can
not be satisfied, andv bis efforts are
immediately turned from that direc
tion toward a policy of deception.
Some employers try to take the con
ceit out of a good man, and show htm
In a hundred little ways that he is
working for him, and he is the boss.
If you want a man to strive for the
highest possibilities tell him he is do
ing well, and you believe he can still
do better. Even if he asks for a
raise encouragement will enable him
to earn much more than the increase.
And the boss Is the gainer, in any case.
When a man has done his best; and
knows that "he has done well, and then
receives complaints, he naturally
comes to the conclusion that bis em
ployer cannot be satisfied and that
further effort would be useless. The
best man living can be spoiled by such
treatment
As for myself, I came here last No
vember with several hundred dollars,
expecting to start into business for
myself, but found things In my line
at a standstill. Bd I looked for em
ployment and held on to what I had.
I have worked in the finest and best
equipped shops on the Pacific coast
and have the very highest references.
I landed a position at $1 a day, in a
very "dirty shop no toilets, no water
vn. Mv employer informed me at the
end of my first week's work that he
was short of money and only paid me
$10. Not only this, but he thought
i e knew the business, and had roe
f manT things which I knew w
UB
were
wrong, but as he was the boss, I tried
to please him. and therefore cut my
own throat, as he came to the con
clusion that I did .not know my dusi
ness. Employers are frequently
taught In the old school, and when a
man 'is modern in his methods, they
u- laondemn mm si ones, any vmptoycr
h-ftiappened to be taught in neither
school. Nevertheless, it tivea - ma a
black eye. When you Can't speak well
of your employer, it is time to speak
for another Job. --
gome employers will not advertise,
but expect business to drift their way.
Nowadays advertising spells more
business, and success. If I only had
crsickers and cheese for supper and
one dollar in cash,. I would advertise
with my last dollar, and I would gam
ble on it that my next meal would be
more substantial. 1 LYONS. -

The Muddy Creek correspondent of
the Baker Herald writes: "The tax
payers of this district have voted fa
vorably on the question of a new high
school, which means that Muddy Creek
will have a new 1 6.000 edifice. It Is
expected that bonds will be sold to
raise the money."
Cooperation between the city offi-
nd th OKOn Electric railway
has resulted in the eiot grounds at
nnnaM fceina- rla.nM tf. with
Donald being plan'ed to rotes, with
vines over the large concrete deoot. A
drinking fountain is an additional im
provement.
Bandon's Commercial club, lona- dor
mant, has been reorganised. "Instead
of the old plan of having a president
and secretary, on whom all cf the work
falls, as has been the experience in the
past," says the Recorder, "a board of
five directors will have complete
charge of the executive work of the
body."

Roseburg Review's view of the lum
ber situation: ''That lumber is in great
demand throughout the wect 1 at
tested by the number of cars loaded
with this product that are passing
through this citv almost daily. It 1b
conservatively estimated that be
tween 400.000 and eOO.OOO feet of lum
ber i being huuled through Roseburg
every 24 hours."
a
Baker's latest Innovation, as de
scribed by the Herald: "The cry of a
banshee, the blast of a fog horn and
the lamentation of a lost soul many
times magnified, were mingled in a
terrific blast of sound which startled
the city thla morning. Rising and
falling, but mostly rising. It penetrated
to everv corner of Baker. It was not
the heralding of the mlllenium. It
was merely the city's new compressed
air fire siren which was given its first
tryout.

J And therefore I suggest that la ;
the parade there be some kind of s
float or a to .en
or something pledging the met,
of America. that their country real
lzes their value.
and is willing to do anything 1
make them happy and prosperous.
J And there might be a float show

the United States. ;
and another float showing how
this wealth lo to be more evenly dla

J And still another float in the
preparedness parade- might represent
the rich jnen who have dodged thell
Income taxes. ,
J Such
float would be , easy t
make.
because all that would be neces
sary would be a platform
with a lot of well-dressed mes
sitting on.lt In leather chairs.
and underneath a number ol
workingmen carrying th platform
on tneir bare backs.
IT And the platform could be labeled
