THE OREGON DAILY --JOURNAL, PORTLAND. MONDAY, APRIL 3, 1919. TWO MORE BRIEFS FILED IN SUPPORT OF OLCOTT'S SUIT Carey & Kerr and Wood, Mon tague & Matthiessen Say Old ; Decision Should Be Upheld. CASE IS HELD IMPORTANT Decision Essential Before Next i Primary Election and for ; Road Bond Issues, Contention. J- Salem, Apr(l 21. Two briefs were filed with the supreme court today In the Ol . colt vs. Hof f mandamus proceedings. One was byCarey & Kerr and the other ay. Wood, Montague A Matthiessen, two prominent law firms of Portland. - Both support the view taken: by At torney General Brown that Ben W. Ol- cott is governor in fact,- Independent of whether he remains secretary of state. And that the supreme court's Interpreta tion of the state - constitution, as laid . down in the case of Chadwick vs. Kar hart, more than SO years ago, should b adhered t now, t Attorney General Brown sometime this week will file his brief in reply 'to those . who have taken the view that the Chad wick vs. Earhart decision should be up set. 7 With' these briefs still coming;' in, no decision in the case is now expected until after the Pendleton session of the su preme court, which opens next week. WHOLE PEOPLE INTEKESTKD 5v In their brief, Carey & Kerr bring out the urgent need of a decision in the case from, a practical, business stand point relative to the issuance of mil lions of dollars' worth of state highway bonds, j : ' '"' ;--"The case. Indeed, concerns the indi vidual parties in. small degree compared 'with -the vital Interest" to the people generally," ssys the brief. "For exam ple, state highway bonds, to be Issued under chapter 421 of the laws of 1917, are about to be sold by the state high way commission, and . by the statute : should be signed by the governor,, the secretary of state and the- state treas urer, and, as is customary, fac simile Jf the signatures of the officers should . be engraved upon the coupons when prepared for inspection and sale. It is ; a question whether Mr, Olcott should ; sign as governor, as secretary of state, or as both governor and secretary of . state. , , BECISITE IS IMPERATIVE .? 'The various boards in which the three officers act under ,expresa provisions of the law will be constantly faced with difficulties by reason, of the fact that the offices of governor and of secretary of state are held by the same person, either as though Mr. Olcott Is holding as the incumbent of two separate offices, or as though he held a single office of sec retary of state and acting governor. f !The-question will arise, anyway,, for decision next spring, when it will berths - duty of the secretary of state to give notice for th primary election, and, un less already decided by the court in this case. It will have to be presented by him in another case, so that he may be ad vised whether there will be a vacancy In the, office of governor, tdtbe filled by an election for the unexpired term." The brief then discusses, the question as to whether the court may decide-the Issues involved through mandamus pro- , ceedings, and contends It can. Many de cisions of the United . States , supreme court and of other state courts are cited in suppport of this view. , .... ' IEVEB8AL'11E1D IX ADVISABLE ; "Whatever view individuals may take of the correctness of the conclusion In the Chadwlck-Karhart case, or the rea soning upon which that decision Is based. lt,should be deemed, to have-settled final ly the questions covered by the opinion,"' says the brief. .VA. decision lot the. .su preme court in such a case Is deemed to have been arrived at after full and, ma ture consideration, and it becomes a part of the law of . the state upon whtclr cit izens and officers rest their conduct, and upon which the attorney general may base an opinion for the guidance of those who administer the publio oflcea, "Such a decision, is a precedent, and when it construes a provision of the con stitution, it -should never ,ie disturbed after the lapse of years by judges,, how-, ever eminent and learned, though per chance ;they might feel Inclined to take a different view If the decision had not oeen rendered.. . . .. .. . , COSTHOYER8IES POSSIBLE - & Wo3. 4Mohtaffuo $ "Matthiessen; ' In their brief, point out that "the impor tance" to the state and Its citizens, of having a real, governor, and not. a mere acting or ex-offlcio functionary la ob vious and requires no argument." "If the constitution," they continue, "is interpreted so as to make the sec retary of state, on assuming this office.

' "A government Is obviously lame and Incomplete where the chief executive does not exist independently, but is a mere . apanage o fa minor official, a Siamese twin of the secretary of state, iho draws his vital functions from the circulatory system of the other officer. MEANING IS DEFIKED "Enough has been said as to how un likely It Is that anyone ever cherished the idea that the governor and secre tary of state -should be indissolubly welded for the; entire term, so that the state . must needs be deprived of the services of two brains and two person alities for the - discharge of the two most important duties and functions in its administration. This- consequence alone,, we submit. Is sufficient to stamp the Interpretation which requires it as a fantastic Improbability." V j Speaking of tie meaning of the con stltutlon. the .attorneys say : I "The of flea devolves upon the secre tary of state. He, in other words, no more explicit Or positive, becomes .in vested wlth the office. No more Is said upon the point in the constitution, and no more need be. Everything has been said there is to say. The secretary of state is governor without qualification. restriction or limitation, and that is all there is about it." NORTHWEST YANKS ARE BACK IN U. S.

Without a word of official warning, 29 overseas nurses,-members of the famous Base Hospital unit No.- 47, slipped into Portland Sunday night on the 7 o'clock Northern Pacific train from - the East. There was a decided dearth of bands, of ficial reception committees, parades or honors for the women who spent prac tically a year overseas, who nursed the wounded, and stood the terrors of night raids by Hun airmen. The women are still In the service, but not bound by as rigid rules as are at ached to enlisted men. They left France about three weeks ago, spent nine days at sea, arrived in New York a week ago Friday, and were started home five days ago. Technically they are In the ser vice, and will be army nurses for the next month, though they are at liberty to follow up their own vocations. BELATITES, FBISNDS WELCOME A large number of friends and rela tives of the girls, and large part of the working staff of nursea from the St. Vin cents and Good Samaritan hospital were on hand when the train pulled In. There was no patting on the back, and "glad to see you, old man." such as when contingents- the members of the sterner sex arrive. It was kissing, hug ging and pjain, old fashioned feminine osculatory embraces. Everybody kissed everybody else, everybody laughed and giggled and everybody was happy. "Just lead me to an ice cream soaa. said Miss Donalda McDonald, a young woman with two pretty gold stripes dec orating her blue serge uniform. "I went a year without a sundae, or a frappe. or any civilized drink. I would willingly go back." said Miss N. Jensen, "Just for the pleasure of getting back home. Portland looks good to me. I haven't seen anything in France that compares with it." j TWO ASTOBIATCS IX UJTIT All of the contigent were graduate nurses, and were principally irom ot. Vincents and the Good . Samaritan hos pitals. Two out of town girls. Hose Boyle and Dell .'Marks or St. Marys hospital, Astoria, were on the train. The majority of. the women will go back to nursing. Some smiled coyly when asked about their future employment. Mushed, and admitted that they did not know exactly. The absence of the official reception committee, or any formal entertainment for the women, was due to the fact that no official word was received in Port land of their coming. The majority of the girls had Bent word to their friends and relatives of their expected arrival. The following girls were members of the party : Elsie Hollenbeck, Esther Eaton, Anne Stewart, Ann Dempsey, Julie McFadden, Emma Tweed, Roe la Williams, Helen Krebbs, Letha Hum phrey, Mrs. Breulard, Ann Snyder, Don alda McDonald, Mary N.

It was forbidden for civil ians to climb up the big steel fighting tower. At one time during the after noon one of the guards happened to be looking the wrong direction and when he came to there was a stream of civil ians climbing up the ladder and a small party in the fighting top. The Oregon came up to the Portland harbor In the morning, meeting the steamer Lurline and the mosquito fleet near the St. Johns municipal dock No. 1. On the Lurline were more than 100 per sons who were going aboard to greet the crew and formally welcome them- to the city. H ELCOME IS WABM With the Lurline running alongside and the small launches dashing about and whistles from mills blowing a greet ing, the old sea rover was welcomed home as she moved majestically up the river. Finally coming to anchor 'there was a short bustle aboard her. Barges came alongside, the anchor was dropped, the Union Jack and the flag run up the staffs and boats were lowered. By the time the Lurline had come up and stairs let down to her deck, everything was ready for the visitors, j "With Captain Tarrantm the right the officers lined up in order of rank aftd received the Portland reception commit tee headed by Senator B. F. Mulkey. Many discharged army and marine of ficers were in .the welcoming party.. The Oregon; in gala "array, - with flags and pennants flying, arrivedln. the lower harbor Saturday night, and. lay at anchor near Linnton unt" Sunday 'morn ing. The steamer Lurline, with the offi cial reception committee, headed by Fred W. Mulkey, started down stream at 9 o'clock, met the Oregon, turned about and escorted her to her moorings. A convoy of smaller boats, led by George W. Kendall of the Oregon MOtorboat club, followed in the wake of the fight er. The small craft were also gaily be decked in pennants and flags, the whole convoy forming an impressive sight. As soon as the giant anchor of the fighter dropped, the visitors went aboard the battleship and the formal reception took place. Mr. Mulkey, assisted by Lieutenant H. E. .Potter of the local naval recruiting office, presented the committee to Captain Tarrant. OFFICER3 ARE ENTERTAINED Reception of the officers commenced Sunday afternoon. Those whose duties allowed them liberty, were taken for a ride along the Columbia River highway . This morning the remainder of the com missioned personnel were taken fCr a trip, along the highway. At 11 o'clock 300 of the men. led by their officers and band paraded through the down town streets to Victory square, where the men took part in the noon program of the Liberty loan drive. This afternoon 300 of the enlisted men will be taken for a ride along the Co lumbia River highway. Automobiles have been donated, and the trip will be under the charge of Charles W. English, secretary of the Ad club. At 7. o'clock a formal dinner will be given to the officers by the Victory loan forces at the Benson hotel. A feature of the, dinner will be the presence of Billy Sunday, the famous evangelist. DANCE FOR UNLISTED IEN . . The enlisted men of the fighters are not to be overlooked, and a danco . has been arranged at the Multnomah for this evening, at which the "gobs" will be the guests. All of Portland's young' er set who have no previous engage ments are invited to attend, by the com mittee in charge of the affair.' It was originally planned by the loan forces to admit aboard the fighter only those citizens who had subscribed to the loan. This plan was changed and all ere welcome aboard the battleship, tioan meetings however, will be conducted on her decks, and attempts made ' to sell bonds to those who come aboard the battleship. The Oregon is scheduled to leave, for San Francisco at daylight Tuesday morning, but her presence in the harbor has proved to be such a stimulus to the loan drive that telecrams have, been sent to the secretary!- of the navy re questing that she be allowed to remain in Portland one day longer.

DAVID HEME SAYS NO MILITARY LEADER WILL WIN Study v of Political Conditions Convinces Writer Wilson Is Strongest Man in the Country. VISIT IS MADE IN PORTLAND Marked Sentiment Found in East for Ex-President Taft; McAdqo Has Developed Able Following. That hlatory-will record Wood row Wil son as the greatest of all Americans, and should he become . a candidate for re election to the presidency, would ride Into office on an overwhelming wave of public favor, is the declaration of David Lawrence, representative of a newspaper syndicate headed by the New Tork Eve ning Post. Mr. Lawrence was a visitor in Portland Sunday on the last lap of a tour of the country to investigate polit ical and industrial conditions as after-the-war problems. Mr. Lawrence was a special correspon dent for this syndicate at the peace con ference and accompanied President Wil son on his trip to Rome. He is a stu dent of politics and industrial and eco nomic situations. '.-''. WILSON INFLUENCE PREEMINENT Mr. Lawrence expressed to Portland friends, who aided him In his local in vestigation, some sweeping views of world affairs. One of these statements was that Pres ident Wilson's present influence is co Immense that only blind partisanship now refuses to admit and accept it. That the United States will have no military man for its next president was another of his quoted statements. 'The party that puts a war hero forward is prefacing its own doom," was the way he put It. Mr. Lawrence had audiences with a number of prominent men, and was the special guest of Simeon Winch, who was associated with him in student days at Princeton, when Woodrow Wil son was president of that institution. Five weeks ago Mr. Lawrence left the Paris peace conference. The word he brought from "that center of activity was encouraging and highly interesting. He" praised the work of Great Britain and stressed the importance . of Brltiah cooperation with the United States. Bringing his survey of the labor and industrial affairs of the nation to rest in Portland, the visitor predicted that the future of the shipbuilding industry depends almost entirely upon the indus try of the community and Its builders In putting the facts of their case before the proper authorities' for judgment. PORTLAND MUST SPEAK UP Mr. Lawrence declared that "if Port land's talk is loud enough and effective, congress will see to the future of ship building here. The nation Is fostering a great desire to see the American mer chant marine built up and maintained. Portland may as well build and continue building merchant ships as any other center, but Portland must indelibly Im press her accomplishments and her pos sibilities upon congress and others. The labor situation in the far west Is odd in many ways, the visitor indicated. The middle west is crying aloud for ex perienced men and especially those who have been trained In the mechanics of shipbuilding will find plentiful fields in that section. Labor and capital are on a much more settled basis in the middle west than in some sections of the far west, and this is helping rush things forward farther east, Mr. Lawrence told friends. After spending much time at the peace conference and after a political study from the Atlantic to the Pacific since his return, Mr. Lawrence was prepared here to dispose of some well founded opinions regarding the political future of the nation. He is an independent thinker, giving the palm of credit where, in his opinion, it is due. Thus he has found in President Wilson America's greatest citizen, fe past or present, and leaders of a nation in some of the pseal- dent's political opposites HAKES STCDT OF CANDIDATES His statements as to the presidential candidates for the coming election, based upon the study he has been, mak ing as he came west., make an inter esting resume of possibility. Presiden tial possibilities, however, eliminate military men and give considerable power to the votes of those who served during the war under American arms. Major General Leonard Wood, per haps held as the logical successor to Colonel Roosevelt, inasmuch as he was a portege of Roosevelt,- and in many ways like the late president, is most favored among Republican candidates, Mr. Lawrence believes, but the possibil lty ,of his election or the election of General Pershing ' is remote. General woods aggressiveness, his sympathy with the Roosevelt philosophy and the friendships he made In the army are his strength. No other Republican boom is so far advanced as that behind Gen eral Wood, if Mr. Lawrence's findings are right. America Is not, to elect Wood or any other; uniformed man for president aad the power In. the vote of men in the service during the war will be solidly against a military- chief executive, al though it may be widely divided upon other issues. , ; - There is a growing sentiment for ex-President Taft in the Kast, because of his sterling qualities, his official rec ord, his whole-souled "Americanism i and hispolitical : neutrality in- international affairs. Democratic sentiment is for William G. McAdoo more strongly than for any otner possibility Just at present, and Secretary of War Baker has been elim inated. In addition to these two. At torney General Mitchell Palmer Is men tioned as a possibility by Mr. Lawrence. McAdoo or Palmer would easily defeat any Republican of war fame. The presidency will go to a man who combines business and executive ability with sound economic judgment and wider view of , national affairs . than would seem possible -to find In a man trained so exclusively in- one line of endeavor as an army man . is. Judging from the trend of sentiment. Mr. Lawrence left - these inferences : Theodora, Roosevelt Jr. : Is expected, to probably : put what support is natur ally his behind General Wood, but even this probably would not make Wood the Republican nominee. There is one thing certain, it seems: The man who- goes into office for the next term will have mighty interesting contest to win over W. G.

Every bit of lumber, even to the shav ings and sawdust, was utilised under the French methods of operation which were carried out by American forestry regiments In France during the war, ac cording to Lieutenant Colonel C S. Chapman, who has just returned to Portland after a year and one half over seas service with the 10th forestry engi neers. f At the time the armistice was signed the American forestry troops were cut ting approximately 40.000,000 feet a month, and operating 85 sawmills, ac cording to Colonel Chapman, and the plans, were to increase this output ma terially since the amount produced was not sufficient to meet the demands of the armies.
