FOB FUTURE PEACE
RESIDENT WILSON is favora
ble to a plan of having con
gress pass a resolution calling
a conference of all nations
-after the war to adopt plans to pre-
ivent future conflicts.
- There is no legitimate reason
I iwhy, there should not be such a
'conference. Nor is there a Iegltl-
mate reason why such a conference
should not be able to evolve and
n apply a plan to hereafter keep the
world in peace.
; After this cruel war is over,
there will be a council table at
) which will gather diplomats to de
i tennine the terms of peace. The
If decisions to be reached will be by
reason and negotiation. j
J ;;-VAt that council, the exact things
will happen that could have been
i. employed before hostilities . were
t declared. In the end, the decls-
' ions of the conflict will not be by
5 the sword, but by negotiation,
j After every belligerent has be-
come a practical bankrupt, the in
I evitable end will be discussion and
deliberation that could have been
carried ou with equal facility and
certainty before a continent was
crimsoned with the blood of its
best young manhood.
- Nothing but the ambitions and
Intrigues of rulers can stand in
the way of a successful agreement
J against future wars; for after 22
months of slaughter, after many
: frightful weeks of the horrors at
t Verdun, the peoples of the warring
" countries hunger for a world in
which war will be no more.
. Such a conference as President
Wilson contemplates would stand
a better chance for successful dc
J liberations than ever before; fof
J th6 war-worn peoples whose sons
art In their graves or on crutches
- will be in mood to sweep aside
nonarchs who show hostility to
j pacts against future wars.
' A Boston man 6ayB he believes
that if the plan of creation were
to be done over again it
might be better not to endow man
with brains. We know of a few
-men who, under the revised plan,
come fully up to specifications.
BERNARD SHAW
1
F THE attention he wins from
bis contemporaries is a measure
of an author's greatness, Ber
nard Bhaw must be very great
indeed. Almost as much has been
written about hlra as he has writ
ten about himself. And none of it
is stupid. Shaw seems to have the
: rare quality of imparting his Uve
linesa to his admirers. When they
pay tribute to his greatness they
' absorb some of his wit. "Even the
s .hug "Life" of Shaw which Pro-
fessor Hendesson gave to the world
' some years ago was interesting to
the .last page.

be superior. By the common con

SKILLFUli POLITICS
T
HE Hughes campaign is being!
skillfully, not to say craftily,
conducted. Its great aim is to
i i a 7. r v "
imuiesH lwo nniniB nrtnn tnai
f li i a. i uhuu. i uc iirtsi point IS
that Mr. Justice Hughes would not
for the "world violate the sanctity
of the supreme court by doing any
thing to obtain the - presidential
nomination. Thin affords an ad
mirable cover for the work of the
campaign. The second point is
that the old guard will move heaven
and earth to prevent his nomina
tion. " Considering how anxious the old
g-.ard is to have the people believe
the latter fiction, Mr. Tart's con
ference wjth the' sacred candidate
at Washington was perhaps a trifle
vridlscreetv it may give ise toun
fdrtunate suspicions. Tor Mr. Taft

Washington was really on a mis
sion ' from the old guard to its
chosen hero.
Mr. Hughes had some shreds of
democracy in him when he was
governor - of New York, but not
many. His mind has always been
thoroughly legalistic and aristo
cratic He has doubtless confided his
thoughts to Mr. Taft and a few
other select delegates from the old
guard and that is enough. They
.ought to.
WITHOUT A CANDIDATE
i
ANY people in Portland are
without a candidate whom
they care to support for
congress. The Journal is in
that position
It. cannot 6UpPort Mr. McArthur

It is a congressional situation in
which many voters are without a
! candidate to whom they can con-
SCientiOUBly accord Support. It IS
whom they can throw their ballots
with confiderce and assurance that.
if elected, the-candidate will reflect

HE college students at
Corvallis conduct a singularly
meritorious Young Men's
Christian Association. It
maintains a boys' club where youths
are trained for social service. Its

work for students which amounts
for this year to some $5000. New

body wil, regret that the actlvltlea
of an institution fo entirely useful
should be crippled by debt.
The debt is not a large one,
only a little more than $800, but
even this is a heavy burden to
struggling students, many of whom
are working their way through col
lege. They are eager to see it dis
charged so that the association may
carry on its noble enterprises with
a free hand. Some reader of this
notice may be disposed to help
the?e young men out of their diffi
culty." There is no better use to

that "Michigan has added to the

come out of Nazareth?

Primaries and Candidates.
Portland, May 25. To the Editor of
The Journal The direct primary law
was enacted by the people as a ir.ns
of getting rid of a corrupt system of
politics which was the outgrowth of
the boss controlled convention. It was
expected that through this enactment
nominations woild be made in a free,
open primary after direct appeal to
the voters by the individual candidates.
After some years of experience, how
ever, it Is plain that the new system
has given rise to new abuses. Behold,
now, the pussyfoot candidate! His
talk ia soft and his step is light. He
sniffs th air and looks toward the
ci0uds for some passing indorsement
whlch Derchance may be drifting by.
There is nothing on earth, in the skies
above, or in ths waters beneath, of
which hs Is not in favor if it will
bring him votes, and be is careful not
to let the right hand know what the
left hand is doing. Hs is all things to
all rnen. His platform includes lower
taxes and liberal expenditures, fewer
laws and more legislation, religious
liberty and secret deals with the a.
P. A. On the face of the returns it ap
pears, also, that such crooked methods
of campaigning have proved quite suc
cessful. However let these good fellows who
are now acclaimed the victors beware.
The ides of March have come, but not
gone. Many are already anxious to
change their votes, and before the chill
days of November arrive this feeling
may gather force. The election law
permitting the nomination of a non
partisan ticket by 100 electors or more
in mass meeting assembled, is still
upon the books, retained, no doubt, to
meet Just such an emergency as' at
present exists. In times past, corrupt
practices havs been dealt with effctiv-
ly in this way, and what has been done
before can be done again. The sv
national security and the perpetuity of
our institutions, peace at any price Is
a dangerous doctrine. The dark lan
tern brethren must be smoked out from
their hiding places, where they cover
up their violation of ths corrupt prac
tices act under the name of a poor old
misguided doctor of philosophy. Some
prlrnar1e8 are now whlgperir(r it about
that the placing of their names upon
the so-called patriot's ticket at the
eleventh hour was done without their
; knowledge or consent. That Is not
enough. They must go farther, and,
clearly and unequivocally, in the most
public manner repudiate such indorse
ments, or their childish prattle about
honesty. Justice and fair dealing will
fall upon listless ears. The man who
ls not Dlg enoUgh and brave enough to
rise to this situation Is an unfit man
to fill the high place of Judge or
i even the humble position of constable.
The "Scattering" Vote
Portland. May 22. To the Editor
of The Journal If a voter writes in
a name on his ballot, does the Ore
gon law say that name shall be
counted? The reason I am asking this
question ls that I wrote in names on
my ballot that do not show on ths
tally sheet that was posted at the
place I voted. I have heard others
say the lama thing. If the law says
these names hall be counted, I think
the election boards should be very
careful to count them. I can see
where one vote of this kind In easwi
precinct would give the nomination to
a man on the Democratic ticket. A
nomination secured this way might
Just as well as not mean the election
of a Democrat, or a ilepubllean, for
i that matter. I hope you will print
this, for I feel It concerns a matter
of slackness that should not be al
lowed. A VOTER.
(The precinct election boards are
supposed, and by law are required, to
1 tally each vote cast. This instruction
was given election boards by County
Clerk Coffey, but it ls doubtful if
tlie,. instructions were carried out in
all instances.
In Behalf of Mr. Laf ferty
Portland, May 22. To the Editor
of The Journal How the gang does
scratch when It ls really out to "get
a man." Probably there never wa
so much planning and going and com
ing back and offering and withdraw
ing on the part of the old timber
grabbing, public-be-hanged, get-all-you
can outfit that controlled Oregon for
some 60 years, as was done in the re
cent primary election to eliminate
from politics A. W. Lafferty.
There was no getting away from it.
T.affrtv had the crane on the run
untn the very day of the recent pri-
mary election. On that day there ap
peared "to a local paper, too late to be
be refut id, a dirty, lying, paid ad
vertisement by the McArthur crowd,
which turned thousands of votes' away
from Lafferty.
By such contemptible methods was
Lafferty cheated out of the nomina
tion. In an editorial two days before
the primaries a local paper frankly
stated that it would not support Laf
ferty should he receive the nomina
tion. Yet this same paper harps on
tho virtues of the direct primary.
Four years ago, when Mr. Lafferty
received the Republican nomination,
the gang tsrned him down and sup
ported Thomas McCusker tor congress,
as an Independent. Now Lafferty an
nounces his candidacy for congress as
an independent. The 6ame old gang
yells "traitor but the people applaud
the fight Lafferty is making In their be
half. The Congressional Record shows
that Lafferty made more speeches, in
troduced more bills and did more
fighting on the floor of ths house for
progressive and popular (which means
i or tto poopIT .
and not for. the trusts)

GRANT DRAPER.
Statement by Mr. Ziegler.
Banks. Or.. May 19. To the Editor
of Tho Journal Although I suffer all
the handicaps of a private citizen com
batting powerful corporations exercls
inf great power through tho machin
ery of the "Invisible government," my
challenge to Mr. Cotton was not friv
olously made, but as an officially rec
ognized agent of the city. My pur
pose is to defend ths port terminal
properties against the clandestine at
tacks of railroads, which are inimical
to water commerce and water termin
als, and desire to possess the port
properties to hold against the develop
ment of water commerce and to build
up rival terminals. The Issue is: Shall
Portland be a port or inland terminal?
Consequently I expected a different
handling of my challenge to Mr. Cot
ton by The Journal, which has here
tofore aided me, and especially I ob
ject to the censoring out of a clause
in my criticism of the Oregonisn.
When I criticise that paper, I wish to
do it in my own terms and not those of
The Journal.
What I said was that the Oregonlan
refused to print my challenge in re
sponse to Mr. Cotton's talk, reported
by the Oregonlan, "following Its pol
icy of outlawry against me which it
could explain better than I."

Upbraids Senator Chamberlain.
Grants Pass, Or., May 18. To the
Editor of The Journal The dispatches
the other day Informed us that our
Senator Chamberlain ls trying to up
hold the administration of Woodrow
Wilson by Joining with the reaction
ary Republican senstors in their fight
agaJnst the confirmation of the nom
ination of Mr. Rublee. In the Inter
view referred to the senator hints oT
dark and dubious reasons for his votej
and sets his opinion squarely against
that of the president and all of the
Democratic senators except-a half
dozen reactionaries like O'Gorman. It
may be that the senator considers It
of much more Importance that his
opinions should conform to those of
the Republican standpatters, in a mat
ter .where the president ls responsible,
than that he should follow the lead of
his party. The nomination of Rublee
was defeated to please good old "Doc"
Gallinger, prince of trust-labeled Re
publican standpatters, and it ls about
time that a Democratic senator from
Oregon should give some rational rea
sons for his alliance with the gang
that is engaged In using every disrepu
table method their ingenuity can de
'vise to embarass the administration
and defeat the party next November.
To a plain, ordinary voter it looks like
George E. Chamberlain wanted to help
them. Some time ago the senator an
nounced that, Ms vote on Brandeis
wpuld be governed solely by the evi
dence produced at the hearing before
the senate committee, evidently fear
ful that the president had blundered
by appointing someone who ls probably
also objectionable to the good old
"Doc." R. D. COLE.

Who will be President Wilson's
running mateT
Senator George E. Chamberlain of
Oregon, leader of the fight against
James Hay and ths other "little
army" men at Washington, was trot
ted out yesterday as a possible candi
date for the vice presidency.
A "coast to coast" ticket; a plat
form with a ringing declaration on
national preparedness; as team mats
for Wilson, the Oregon senator who
led in forcing the army bill compro
mlse through the conference commit
tee, and a spectacular campaign on
the national defense question that
would take advantage of the wave of
preparedness sentiment that ia begin
ning to sweep the middle west.
Those were th ideas advanced yes
terday in the political gossip of what
may happen at tne Lemoc ratio con
vention at St. Louis June 14.
Pol.tical observers argued that if
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of
the tenate military committee, war
out on the Democratic ticket for sec
ond place it would tend to take the
thunder out of the strong plank on
national preparedness which th Rs-
Dublicari ar sawing out for their
national platform. As Democrats
view it, th defeat of th Uttl army
boys and th agreement of th sen
ate and boss conferees upon aa array
bill embodying most of th vital fea
tures of th original Chambrlaln hill
for military reorganisation ana In
crease of th army have already nunc
tared preparedness as a real political
issue between the two parties.
