HIS ' PRO-GERMAN SPEECHES SENATOR JOHNSON'S Portland speeches were mainly an attack on the allied nations with whom , we- fought aide by tide in the late war. . He ' attacked, Great ' Britain. He Slurred that nation. He held .the British people up as enemies whom we mast - tear. ' By indirection and innuendo; . he described the great English speaking race beyond the At lantic ; as full of designs upon the American people. ; He attacked Japan. . whose navy and army broke un the German naval base at Klauohau and prevented the a ajawaaaw vaa a eaa aa- q a. a at wo vuia , w a aa. marauding German submarines. : By Implication, he" attacked the allied statesmen. He attributed to them, the, most cunning and vicious iiiir'iniMr'M in riiHir iikm i iiihn w i li i n iiiKrn lea. f He painted them as men with ' low "moral -purpose, bent on destroy ing; America if they could. Though the peace, treaty is framed plles American ideas to all European nations, he described It as a cunning plan r by the allied statesmen to Kuropeaxuze ine unuea biaies. ine slHiness' of such :5a -statement is ap parent to those who think, do European , peoples want to be as they have always been t ;. Do ; the freed peoples lately under Austrian dominion want to go back France, -Belgium, Italy, Serbia, Rou- m?nla and the others want thA aM European . forms ' to remain un changed? Do they want the German kaiser and the Austrian ;. kaiser re-' tnrirl' nrt flfrmnnv unrl AnatMa in again rise up In militarism and lust r - - : t. - - tlont .. . J:,-'. . . , .. . (i r nHwnr mnn r.nnniiRRi inn Kiiniiisra It , Is absurd to even think that peoples and nations - over there want TTnn AT"v tn ..main a a Vtnmn. nr.. and yet Johnson, In effect, says that they.no. only want that, but want America similarly Europcanlced. It Is a sample .of the misrepresentations with which fie is trying to dupe and humbug Unthinking: Americans into roiiowmgntm tin nis mad pro German program of defeating the peace treaty.' '" Senator . Johnson denounced the allies for sending an army : into Rus sia, That Is Vexaotly ; what Debs did. That is one of the things for which Debs was sent to' prison.' ' Johnson's protest on that points Is 'the same protest that -the -Bolshevists make. It is the I same protest that the I. W. W. make. It is to the Reds and the other elements of disorder that Johnson appeals when he. thunders out bis condemnation of the presence of an allied army in Russia... A the .world knows, the allied ; armies went to Russia to proteot military supplies against which the .Bolshevists, were sending an army t Archangel. - . . If, during the war. Senator John- son ; uau , maue , uie . proiee. againsi that action that tie now makes, he would have been sent where Twha went, even though , governor of Call- fntnta aa Ii ' than nraa ( The whole trend of the Johnson speeches was sal bitter and vulgar arratgnment Of the nations and gov ernments and peoples that Germany Was rlffhtln In thm IqU m ipk. loudest applause that he got was when he bitterly attacked England. His denunciations were in many in stances? the same denunciations that were voieed by Berlin newspapers "and '.German, Junkers during the war, and they were i denunciations i that, delivered novf in Berlin, , would have brought the . audience 'to 'Us k feet la tumultuous and long tonttnued , applause. '' Why does Senator Johnson, in dls- eusslng the peace treaty, nottfrankly and fairly discuss the treaty , Instead of making a hid to the pro-Germans t nd Bolshevists and I; W. W.t f Why doos he make his arguments a, low . sppeal to . the prejudices of i those others who dislike one or another of Hi e allied nations? His cause is bad.. He must resort to humbug. He is trying to' fool his countrymen. 5 He Is ' running for president.

STATE FAQt GAMBLING OREGON is humiliated if it is true that games of ehanoe operated at the state! fair give their dunes a chance of one - ' r in 186 to win. The people of the state are insulted if their great expo sition is subverted to such; purposes. The Investigating committee of the Oregon Pure Bred Livestock associa tion states, however, that conces sions dotted the' grounds that games which were modifications' only of roulette went on under official sanc tion, ted that the chance of winning was remote except for the concession aire, who provided for himself in advance. ! """' Had the people attending the fair who yielded to the gilt lure of cheap devices won at every turn the gamb ling schemes would 4e I offensive. Such things ought not to be allowed. They may by a technicality escape the letter of the state law : forbidding gambling, but they violate Us spirit Children in agricultural : club eon tests who look forward j much of the year to attending the fair and there seeing on dismay their own proud produots gain .false notions if their spending money is sought forany purpose which does not as sure a return of value. No one who attends the fair should come awv I thinking that it . even Incidentally !r remotely gives space and sanction to gambling concessions, j The1 state fair is a icreat educa tional institution, and all its edu cative agencies should be in the right direction., - j ' These are days when a two-bag ger means fame and -a hom Vun In enough of a victory to circle not only the base biit th World. ; P : J THE BOMBER! .. , EVENING had drawn near. The air Was very still. Low above the horizon the sun suffused earth , and sky with soft radiance.-Prom the spire-like tip f a fir; the robin's song, rang .out -clear 'and sweet the notes of a vesper bell.- At such ; a moment there eame to Portland a traveler of , this skies. It circled . above the city and children dropped their ttvillght games to gaxe; Like a. ship seeking, harbor, Hke an eagle : poised, . above ; its i eyrie, ttthe visitor ,. came. Suddenly; its broad wings gathered the sunset rays: and painted a glowing cross of gold upon the sky. Then it dropped gently. .Thus the, great airplane sent out by, the government to rim the nation with . its ; bird s of passage flight reached Portland. It had! come along the Canadian-American boundary; it had wheeled., southward when l( neared the Pacific. , It had rested at Camp Lewis and it had covered a distance of &500 miles when it crossed the Columbia. - - , ' Ten years ago, or five, such, unan nounced advent would have awakened excited wonder. - But since an air plane has flown across the sea, the charting of transcontinental air; lanes is a part of the day's routine task, a Portland, luckily, had a landing field for the ' blrdmen and It won their,, praise. ' Removal . of wires, a widening of the field and its leveling were their stiggestlons.iJA landing field - to meet modern requirements, said Lieutenant Colonel Harts, com mander of the airship, must be not less" than 2000 ,feet In either, dimen sion, jnust be well marked and must be perfectly leveL ; But as ' yet no municipality of the nation has a landing field which entirely meets specifications as met on the fields owned by the government. - -r Such improvements as are sug gested by the experts who come fly ing under the sky will doubtless be readily made in Portland. Others will follow , these c pioneers , and ill rapidly; multiplying .numbers- W will provide facilities for air travel as we now pave roads and streets for automobiles. i The, day's news reports the pugi listic encounter of two newsboys in Atlanta.

THE VALLEY OF DEEP, SLEEP 13 THE 'horse passing from the world's stage as an economic util ity? Is Dobbin to be supplanted in- tha city and on 'the farm' by the 'snorting fire engine and electric motor? The trend of events would indicate that the faithful animal is to very largely disappear from the earth's surface ej far as hla usefulness to man is concerned.' In Portland and other cities motor apparatus has entirely, replaced the horse in fire departments. As the automobile succeeded the glossy steed and buggy for pleasure drives, .the ponderous truck and the light motor delivery have taken, the place of the horse drawn vehicles with commer cial houses. As the horse car was sidetracked by the electric railway, so is the equine in numerous locali ties supplanted on the farm by the tractor and electrically driven farm apparatus. Portable electric motors for thresh ing have been purchased by many Western farmers. Scarcity of labor and abnormal crops have forced night threshing iq which the electric ma chinery has been further equipped with electric lights. It Is claimed that ' the electrically propelled ma chines arecheaper than horsepower. As we whirl past the milestones In our flight throughlife, faithful Dob bin's step is unsteady, the glaze thickens' in his eye, and his flaming nostrils foreshadow his early en trance to the valley of deep sleep. The curl -paper young ladles of Jefferson high school ' may resent the Inhibitions upon their puffs and skirts, their peek-aboo waists and silk stockings, but one gropea to ward the conclusion that their ob servance of the edict will not only permit greater concentration upon the real purposes of4advanced pub lic school education, but set an example worthy of wide emulation. THIS DAY THIS fs Fire Prevention day. Its flrs - lesson Is that . every day should be fire prevention day. Effort has been made today to enroll 30,000 schoolchildren in the fire prevention auxiliary of Portland. Through the "boys and girls each home represented in the schools is to be inspected for fire hazards. If a Fire Prevention day once a month or once a week, instead of annually, could bring onlythls result it would be richly worth the observ ance. ' . , v . The occasion calls -public attention to the fact that fire prevention has been made- a. part of the public school course. Every child will study from a text book entitled, "Safe guarding the Home; Against x Fire" This is getnjg fre prevention on the most practical basis. ' But the campaign to chain the consuming monster of , conflagration does not stop with, the enlistment of the city youth. It extends. to housewives. It includes fathers. ,It calls for the help of business men. It requires the cooperation of factory employes. . It asks the ak! of campers In our forests. .

"SIX VOICES; ONE VOTE" This Phrase Happily Define. Br ttain's , jPower in the Iague. ....... Vmm Dm Tnrk Tlmita. " There Is mora than' a happr ahnlle In Senator WUllanw expreesion that the British empire has six voices to the League, hut will have only one vote. It might almost be said to epitomise the fact that the war was fought to substitute th force of law for the law of fore by compelling- the nations to regulate their disputes aeeording to the common law principles of th peoples rather than by the arbitrament of might. That is the briefest statement of the differences between th congresses of Vienna and Versailles. In the League of our time, and even more truly in the times of our followers, the votes cast will not be ac cording- to th wills of conquerors, hut aooording to the consciences of those who have conquered their own spirits as weU as the Prussian Junkers. -''.- ICo more than the American vote can the mix British voices be cast contrary to Anglo-Saxon principles. There may be differences In the application of those principles to specific facts, for lawyers as well as doctors disagree. But th Alaskan boundary precedent shows that England has sided against Canada in our favor, and it is equally probable that Canada will aide with us against Eng land, if it shall be that our case appeals to the morals or the hearts of Canadians. What.ia certain rather than probable is that all "these voices, and many others, too, will become a unit of votes against anything resembling the violations of those , principles of action in human af fairs which were- made supreme when tha rule1 of the League was substituted for German domination by might rather than by reason or morality. Without the League that tsideallem. With the League it Is more than a hope it Is a principle whose passing into practice will be fortified by passing years. ; . There ! will be difference within the League. There is more likely to be dis cord than complete harmony amonj the six voices which are to chord into one vote. . But tha League wUl compose those differences, which will exist without it. and which are more dangerous without the League than with it. Only those who think that courts cause disputes be cause they settle' them can think that the League will cause wars because it is the sole hope of settling wars without horrors which shame humanity. Never before was this pro ipect offered to suf fering mankind.

Oct.' 4. To the . Editor of Th Journal We Oregoniana are Joining In tha hue and cry against Swift, Ar mour, the "meat trust" In general, and all other "trusts.' Would, it not be well to cast first the beam out of our own eye? And then we shall, see clearly to pull out the mote in the other fellow's eye. We are harboring, foster ing and coddling a worse "combination in restraint of trade" than all the above mentioned put together "the dairy trust. I own a ranch a short distance from Portland and know whereof I write. I keep two ordinary cows, which supply daily in abundance for a family of seven, milk, cream, butter and cot tage cheese, leaving a surplus of butter to sell and a large surplus to feed to the pigs. Nature sullies as much pasture a ever spontaneously, luxuriantly and cheaply. The .price demanded by the "trust" for the milk produced will buy In two or three days all the dry feed re quired by the two animals for: a whole month, even at the present exorbitant cost. Although many months have passed since the armistice, th "trust" has Just again boosted the already ex cessive price, without any justification. In the same way Vanderbilt many years ago kept steadily increasing , railroad rates, to find out. as he cynically said. Just how much the traffic would bear. It was in this connection that he gave vent Jo his famous objurgation. "The public be damned!" Then, as now, the lonar atiffArlnc mihlic mwllv anhmitiiui Of course there is bound to come a reck-N oning sooner or later, and the "trusts" are somewhat overdoing the injunction to "make hay while the sua shines." Every human being is a greater or lesser grafter if a safe opportunity presents itself, and I do not claim to be an. ex ception. Therei Is no business which offers such tempting opportunities for exploitation at present. If I were a younger man I would dig-into It "teeth and toenails." but at past ao-roy life wort Is over. It la to be hoped that the approaching reform In economic condi tions will remove such temptations to profiteering and educate the whole hu man family to "live and let live." ONE OP TBS "WOULD-BJ3- PROF ITEERS. : t - Ofrered as a Rate Corrective orUand, Oct. -To the Editor of Th Journal I se the Oregonlaa is very much exercised that through the inertia of the interstate commission and Intriguing adverse railroad p Interests Portland 1 not . receiving it Just de aerta as a shipping point In this I have no doubt you aympathiae, but I have for at least 10 years been advising th proper and only corrective for this con dition, expressed In your own column and those , of th Oregonlan. "J The only corrective Is the Inherent right of the state to polio Its own boundaries, but th Insidious encroachment of the rail road monopolies, now protected by na tional Jurisdiction. Invades the soil of Oregon, to our detriment and loss. ' I now repeat the suggestion that the state legislature enact as follows : ' "Transportation on all means of con veyance within the boundaries of the stat of Oregon shall be carried at the same pro rata, mil for mile, a cheaply In on direction-as the other, and at the sam pro rata for the distance conveyed, either as interstate or mtrasdSte move ment." "v. . - . This schedule of rate must apply as weU to freight In transit, through Oregon- and beyond ita boundaries, and in aU wases must be as low as the mil per mile carriage from other states , to other state in transit Thus, if the freight rate from Wetser.

By this rule freight coming through th Panama canal from , New York to Portland for $5 per a ton (as It will) can be sent Into the Interior at 1 cent a ton pr mile.

To the Editor of The Journal It appears that the American Legion Of Portland has de clared war on the "Reds." In our midst. It seems to me that instead of bother- j Ing with effects - it would accomplish more by attacking causes. In Great Britain and America we have two sim ilarly constituted, ' naturally conaerva-t ttve, peoples. They both go to war. Tommy Atkins returns home a radical; the doughboy more reactionary than when he went In. Why? Because Eng land has greatly suffered and its eco nomic life is terribly hard, while Amer ica Is unacarred and prosperous. All kinds of fads and anarchisms enjoyed a freedom . of speech, in ante-bellum England never experienced in America. But all the shouting in. Regent's Park j and Hyde Park spent itself on thin air, simply because, the social status quo is not dependent on rhetoric and theorizing , but on actual economic condltiona Like everything else under th sun, the Reds in America are the effect of a cause, the cause in this instance being the war profiteer, the arrogance of trusts, the impudence and cruelty of food sharks, the callousness of the Gary. The five principal Chicago packer are reputed to be in a fair way of controlling the food supply of the nation. If the American Legion wilt direct it energies to questions such as this. -1 dare say the question ot th Reds will take care of Itself. As an additional substitute I ; recommend the internal Japanese menace : tor the consideration of the Legion. P. W. EBERSOLL. A Comparison With Bolshevism Portland, Oct 7. To the Editor of The Journafr The cant phrase of present day reactionaries for everything pro gressive is Bolshevism. What a mass of Ignorance can be covered by one simple little 'Russian word, said to mean "majority." But let ua accept the word In lta darkest and most terrible applica tion Let us ascribe to Bolshevism the evils and excesses of mob violence In our commercial centera Let us regard as "red" an forms of industrial sabotage and all assassination plots. Then how hall we designate the men of power, who, for profit, cause the annual deaths of thousands in mine andfmUl, forest and factory? What shaU We call the bloodsuckers , who .murder - babes and mothers In slums and sweatshops? What shall we name the human hogs who to day are starving the world through ex tortionate food prices? These are no whiter than the wild-eyed Reds. In fact, their crimes are the blacker. The radicals ar agents of destruction working counter to other destructive -elements so well termed, "malefactor ot great wealth." Between the equally criminal Reds, and the profiteers our government and all Its Institutions will be wiped out if our middle classea do not awake soon. Above is froth and scum ; below is -sediment and, filth; between flows th broad current of wholesome clvillaatlon. The stream of life Is fast nearing th precipice, where it will be dashed to chaos.

When Secretary Joeephu Daniels and hi party were In Portland recently, it wa my., good fortune to be invited by the secretary to accompany him from Portland to Astoria. I spent several very pleasant hours with Secretary Dan iels, Mrs. Daniels, their son Frank and Commander Foot. After Secretary Daniels had given me an Interview, I eald, "And now. Mrs. Daniels, it is your turn, next." Mrs. Daniels la both charm ing and gracious, and she said apologeti cally. "Really. Mr. Lockley, you know I never have given an interview, and I don't want to. There are so many things I would rather talk about than myself. I hop you will forgive me If I decline." "All right. Airs. Daniels, talk about some of the other things, then. It you would rather not talk about yourself," X said. "Tell me. about your father and mother, and the folks back home." Mrs. Daniels looked uncomfortable, and Com mander Foote. who was passing, asked, "Are you enjoying yourself. Mra Dan iels?" Mrs. Daniels smiled and said, . "If you want the real truth, I am enjoying myself as much as It I were havtng a tooth pulled. I dont know how to turn Mr. Lockley down pleasantly. He is try ing to make me tell him all about my self." I finished sharpening my pencil and said, "Now, Mra Daniel. If you are ready, we will go ahead. What was your father' name?" Secretary Daniels and Commander Foote chuckled and left her to her fate. i Mra Daniels shrugged her ahoulders and said, "If I must, I might as well go ahead and get it over. "My father was Major William H. Bagley. In his youth h waa a news paper man. Later he studied law and was admitted to the bar. He was an officer In the Confederate army. After th warhe became clerk of the supreme court of North Carolina. My mother' father was Jonathan Worth. ; He was the first governor of North Carolina to b elected after the CivU war. There were six children in our family three boys and three girls. After graduating from grammar school I went to Peac Institute, at Raleigh, N. C. "My brother, David Worth "Bagley, had some most Interesting experiences In the late war. He was commander of the Jacob Jones, which, as you know, was torpedoed. Th Jacob Jonea was the first of our ships to be torpedoed and sunk. I believe it was the only United States destroyer sunk by a torpedo. IV was returning from Brest It had been convoying some troop ships to France, and was on its way back to Queenstown. David was in the chart house and aw the torpedo coming. He could see. the white wake of the torpedo on the. water. He lgnaled full speed ahead, but the torpedo struck the destroyer. Exploding, it killed some of the men In the boiler room. A you know, the commander .of the ship Is always the last to leave the ship. It is a tradition of the sea that is rarely violated. The waters rushed Into the huge hole In the side' of the ship. The men put the boats and life rafts overboard, and as the Jacob Jones slowly submerged, with my brother stiU oa deck, a small boat that had been left on deck floated off. H made tor this, but as the destroyer went under a num ber of depth charges, or fash cans, as the boy caU them, which were lashed on deck, exploded, knocking my brother un conscious and killing or drowning many of the men In the water. My brother was picked up while unconscious, tt some ot the men in one of the small boats. AU of the boat except the one. he was In were picked up during th did wonder in teer roping, the pony express race, and the cowgirls' relay race r The winner of th Jast, Lorena Trickey, wa ahaken by the band and congratulated by William a.

Worth Bagley, mad a wonderful record at Annapoiia I believe he was one of the most popular students that ever attended the academy. He was twice selected by Walter Camp for the all-America team. He made the kick that won the victory for the naval academy from West Point in on of their annual contests. If my memory servea. he kicked the baU 63 yarda In any event, for many years It was the record kick. He was the first naval officer killed in the Spanish-America war. Th navy had established a blocked about Cuba. They decided to cut the cable from Havana to Key West, so as to prevent Blanco from cabling to Madrid. The cable led from Cienfuegos to Santl ag de Cuba, thence to Jamaica and Haiti. The Marblehead had been on the blockading station several weeks. The Nashville and the revenue cutter Win slow were sent to help enforce the block ade. Tou remember the gallant conduct of our men who want In rowboats to cut th cables. They had to work several hour under fir of th Spaniah, who Were hidden In the brush on the shore: One of our men wa killed and several others were badly wounded. This was in the afternoon of May 11. That same .afternoon the Machlaa, the Wilmington, the torpedo boat Wlnslow and th reve nue cutter Hudson had an engagement with three Spanish boats and the shore batteries at Cardenas bay. Two days before that the Wlnslow had gone In within a mile of the town and had ahelled the Spaniah gunboats with her one-pounder a. On ot the Spanish gun boats followed the Wlnslow out and at tacked her, but being hit by a 6-pound shell by th Machias, the Spanish gun boat went back to her pier. "Two days later, on May 11, the Wil mington, th Hudson and the Wlnslow again approached Cardenaa, the Win slow in the lead. A mile and a half from shore the Wlnslow was ordered to go on in and cut out on of the Spaniah gun boats. The Spaniah gunboat waa much larger than the Wlnalow, was armed with larger guns and was ' pro tected by her sister gunboats and the shore batteries. . - Lieutenant John B. BemadouTTn command of the Wlnslow, headed for the Spanish gunboats, and when a mil from shore a 8-lnch shell from one of th ahore batUrie struck the steering gear of the Wlnslow, leav ing her helpless. One of the Spanish gunboats, which was tied to the pier, began firing at the Wlnslow. One of the first shots struck th deck of the WlnBlow and wounded Lieutenant Bernadou. ' In . spite of his wound he went forward to operate th hand steer ing gear, but just as he got there a shot wrecked it. while another Wrecked one of the engines and pierced on of the boiler. Th Wlnslow, began going round in circles. Lieutenant Bernadou sta tioned my brother, Ensign Worth Bag ley, at th hatch, just above the engine room, so that he could give the order to th men to the engine room. While stationed here, passing the orders to the men below, a Spanish shell struck the deck beside my brother and exploded, killing htm and five sailors who were on duty near him. "My brother was only 24 years old when he was killed. Had he lived he would have mad a brilliant naval of ficer, for he loved the sea and was de voted to the navy. "I am' proud of th wonderful work don by our army, but you can 'readily understand that with a husband and two sons to the navy and, with my brother In th navy I am partial to that branch of the service; for, after all, It wa team work by all of our forces, those at home aa well as the ones overseas, that brought us victory.
