In our material- r0"0' tne la3' a man could make PETITION for the pardon of H Itiddell is pending. He was convicted of complic ity in the fraudulent land opera tions of the Oregon Inland Develop ment company, and Is now serving a jail sentencfe. The petition for his pardon is numerously signed. On the list are the signatures of the governor, the secretary of state, the mayor of Portland, the circuit Judges, members of congress, ex- United States senators, the state land board, the state insurance commis sioner and hundreds of other promi nent business and professional men. There Is widespread ' belief that RIddell has been sufficiently pun ished. His case with appeals was long pending. It. destroyed his prac tice and exhausted his means. The burden of making a living for her self and' 13 year old boy has fallen upon his wife. There Is an intense affection by both for the incarcer ated man, and the punishment is as much upon them as upon him. Riddell did not share in the profits and would not have shared in the anticipated large profits of the com pany.

He said Tha war cannot be run in the crlmi TSUMA KOYAMA, an Important manufacturing and commercial magnate of Japan, predicted in Wednesday's Journal extensive use of the Port of Portland in a heavy shipping business with Japan, after the war. Mr. Koyama's conclusion is reached after several months' study of tho timber industry of America and in an investigation of various phases of American business and manufacturing conditions, in the prosecution of which he covered 15,000 miles of travel in this country. His view is that little can be done to establish shipping relations be tween Portland and Japan until after the war. What business and industrial con ditions in Portland will be after the war is suggested by Mr. Koyama's statement. The same question is being diligently studied in othe American cities. New York and New Jersey have a Joint state commission composed of important business fig ures, who are studying conditions in the world as they will be after the war and figuring therefrom on what the genera business conditions of America will then be. This commission In a preliminary report insists that there will be greatly increased commerce in Amer ica after the war. Speaking of aftert the war condi tions, the report says: The time will Boon come when the question will be asked what can best be done, progressively, to provide fa cllities at New York fer the great in crease in commerce seeking: this port. as soon as his ambitions swell a little? , This war has already cost great deaL It will cost immensely more before it is over. We must make It pay for itself in the permanent ' ad vantages it brings to mankind. There Is only, one way to make It bring advantages and that is to fight it through to 4 victorious peace. There is only one way. to make the advantages permanent and that i to organize the nations into a league to preserve them. The voluntary removal by the pub lisher of certain words from the street sign of the German newspaper in Portland was a discreet act. Feel tng over me war is running high How intense It is was shown In the Hunt case, in which perfectly loyal Americans and splendid war workers were hastily assailed by their own countrymen. War has made us all different. Our kindred are over there to combat the horrible Prussian war machine in a conflict wantonly brought on by the kaiser. Anything that seems to show sympathy for the kaiser excites resentment, and tnat Is why the German newspaper sign was disliked. It is the kaiser's fault. It is he and his infamous war lords that have brought all this hostility upon German signs and Ger man institutions. To the multitude of Germans who have become Amerl cans first, the situation is distress ing. , v Letters From the People OUR . COUNTRY'S CALL By William Cullen Bryant Rajrtajr and; Bobtail!

Somewhere In France. Robert Free man ls ln charge of the religioua work of tho Y. M. C. A. in France. It Is a case of the right man and the right Job getting together. Dr. Fwenun waa born August , 178, at Edinburgh, Scotland. His people were poor so poor that they live in a single room. His father earned $4J0 a week, but after a long time wai ad vanced to 17.60 a week. Rob's mother's great ambition was that her bairn should be a scholar. All her other children had died ln infancy, bo all her hopes centered in him. He started to the pub lic school when American children are rt kindergarten. He took to study. He earned a bursary when he was 12 years old, that gave him an opportunity to continue hia studies. To earn thia' bur sary he was required to pass an exami nation ln Latin. French, German, Eu clid, history, English, physics and han dicraft. School started at 8 o'clock in the morning and continued till 4 o'clock, with 20 minutes off for lunch, all of the periods being recitation periods. At 13 he waa taken out of school and put to work for a silversmith. Later his father apprenticed him to a tea and coffee merchant. He waa to put in three years, receiving 60 cents a week the first year. $US a week tha second year and $2.50 a week the third year. "I had dreams of even becoming the head man and drawing $7.60 a weak." said Dr. Freeman. "I came to tha turn ing point of my life when I waa 17. i fell under the spell of a Bible class teacher whose one thought waa foreign missions. I decided to go to Africa as a missionary. I started for Africa by way of America. I was going there to prepare myself. t)ut of that one Bible class 45 have become foreign mission aries. . I didn't know a slngla person m America, but I had corresponded with a young man several years my senior, who lived tn New Tork city : so i wrote nim that I waa coming. He welcomed roe. With him I attended a missionary in stitute to prepare myself for foreign service. Part of my Job was to go down and preach to the Chinamen in Mott and Pell streets and to deliver sermon, ettes In Little Italy, to visit the prisons and talk to the inmates. When I had put In my required six montha' study I was advised to go our ana get practice at preaching, as I was too young to be sent to the foreign field. "I was sent to McKeesport, Pa., to do my practicing. There waa no church, and no congregation. I waa Bimply dumped on the community to make the best way I could. This hand to mouth existence tfl which I waa .supposed to live off poor people who could scarcely support themselves didn't appeal to me, so I got a Job In a boiler shop, worked by day and preached at night. After spending the summer there, I went back to New Tork to take further work there. Not long after this my old room mate Invited me to go with him to Blnghamp ton. N. Y.. and run a mission there.
