He ranges against himself all the forces of law. He defies, never successfully, the Inviolable principles of momentum and gravity. He looses the agencies of t destructon that sooner or later reach back to him. He is no more worthy of considera tion than any other actual or potential criminal. Yet he is usually the first to offer self excuse if his harum f-carum progress injures the persons or property of others. He is equally prompt with the bluff of blame against others. ' Portland's auto accident record is streaked with blood and with tears. Back of It Is the devilish agency of recklessness. It Is only partly enough to say that, It Is chief factor in our daily score of collisions and the sacri fice of a life once in every 10 days on the average. If you would get the whole story follow the clanging ambulance to the hospital and find the beds that the reckless driver fills with pain and the cold fear of death. Follow the "telephone message to homes desolated by emergency summons. Learn the intimate details of sorrow and inter rupted happiness. Go down to the police station and hear the stories of What men on duty there have observed. Communicate lo the whole subject the honest wrath that is yourT$300,000 livestock pavilion. when a friend lis struck down. Let this matter of accident preven tion be personal. Only a few people are wilfully reckless. They are merely thoughtless. Hut why be included in the stigma-shaded class of the un thinking? Let those who have suffered front accidents of traffic, those, who ljavP been reckless and repent of it and the great body of those who would rather be safe than sorry, join to gether their forces of right and or might. Let, organized work of defense against the Bolshevists of traffic go on. until they have been Americanized. Immediate and permanent results are both Imperative. At the present rate pf Increase in the number of auto mobiles and the number of accidents, the chances of safety will become less than the likelihood of collision. , The public should demand that be ginners keep off busy streets, that they . be not allowed to drive alone tmtil they have earned a certificate of ability. Observance of traffic regu lations should be edict of popular sentiment. Regulations are jnade for - the sake of safety. Punishment Bhould be measured out to offenders with out discrimination and in full degree. .Why not print on a card, "Drive Safely," and require that it be placed on the windshield or other equally 'prominent place? Why not put other similar reminders in libraries, schools, clubroorhs and churches? The Portland Hose society is to be commended for Its plans to teach Portland amateurs the correct prin ciples of rose culture. Scientific method combines with our soil and climate to produce the roses that give Portland the proud name of leadership in rose culture. Tens of thousands of people attracted to Portland next year will expect the Rose City to live up to its reputa tion. They need not be disappointed. IX THE DAY'S NEWS AFTER serving nearly eight months in a New York jail for non-payment of $8 a week alimony and $50 attorney fees, David Gold haber's writ of habeas corpus was dismissed, and the Judge declared he would have to remain in jail for the rest, of his life unless the accrued alimony was paid and a bond of $500 furnished. Ooldhaber replied that bo long as he was kept in Jail he was prevented from earning the money with which to jay, .' In court he ; wore no soclts. his clothing was frayed from long use, and he told the court he had lost CO pounds during his Imprison ment. On his knees, with his handa extended, he begged the judge to be allowed to go free, pledging himself to earn the money and pay the alimony. The ex-wife was in court in hand some fur and stylish gown. Alexander Whyte speaks with truth in saying that Anglo-Saxons hold in common and will defend together "government by liberty." Further he surprises the ignorance of instinct displayed by such critics aa Senator Johnson. Canada, Aus tralia and other members of the British commonwealth hold their independence and democracy aa dearly and their right of representa tion as strongly as the United States. Thus the provision for the "six to one" vote in the assembly of the League of Nations where dis cussion can occur but action can only be recommended to the council where United States and Great Britain have each a single! vote and where agreement cannot be agree ment unless unanimous. BIGGEST IN THE WOULD THREE times as many animals are entered for the exhibits in the coming livestock exposition as at any past show. The show is to be the largest ever held under one roof in America, or the world. Most of the states west of the Mis sissippi are represented in the-entries. The show will be larger and more complete than the great exhibits at the Alaska-Yukon, the Lewis and Clark or the Panama-Pacific exposi tions. The reservations by the crowd to be in attendance are so heavy that the hotels are full, and the Portland Chamber of Commerce is campaign-j Ing for private accommodations In a purpose to see that every visitor is accommodated. The new $300,000 pavilion is practi cally completed, and will be ftflly ready for the opening band concert with which the building is to be started off in its career of usefulness next Sunday. From every p;irt of Oregon as well as from other states comes the in formation that stockmen, backers, farmers, professional men, merchants and others are planning to attend the show. These are facts that slightly glimpse the significance of the Pacific Inter national Livestock exposition. But they are only a small fraction of what the show means. The big things are these: The educational value, the spreading of better animals through the Oregon country, the raising oT animals that, on the same feed, will turn off nearly double the amount of meat, the enrichment of the land and the development and advancement of one of the stablest" industries in the world. The vision of all this is what in spired Portland salesmen and others to push the sale of shares of stock to complete the payment for the The returned soldier who comes j seeking employment has a claim i upon your patriotism which cannot j be denied. You sent him to defend America. He has a sacred right to a job in the America he has saved. He did his duty; it is your turn to do yours. PLENTY OF COrRSES T 0 THOSE of us who are paving more for broad and more for flour, more for hacon and more for meat the logic of Attorney General Palmer'.-, statement that in creased production would bring about a decrease In living costs does not immedately appeal. There is no doubt, of course, that the natural law of supply and demand does exercise its control over the price of things used throughout the land, but it would seem that there is some thing besides decreaxed production that is the. trouble with us, in some lines at least. There has been immense increase during the last year or so in acreage and production so far as wheat Is concerned and yet the price of bread and of the flour from which it is made continues to rise as though the yeast were in the price rather than in the dough. Not so very long ago the stockmen of the country in their national con vention at Chicago issued an appeal to the people for greater consumption of meat, contending that the vast in direct result of war time requests had left them overstocked and facing ruin if they were not enabled to unload their flocks and herds. Yet the prices of bacon and fresh, meats continue above the comfortable reach of the common purse. It is true that slackened production In the industries, linked with Euro pean demand, is undoubtedly re sponsible In large part for the high cost of manufactured articles of vari ous sorts and kinds. Bnt is it true that lowered production is the only base upon which these prices rest in their continual upward growth T Is it not a fact that there are other causes as well, and probably as po tent? Has not an inaatt''e and inef fectual congress something to do with it? Is it not possible that the con tinued wrangle over the peace treaty and the resultant uncertainty and unrest may have something to do with it? is it not probable that mount ing governmental costs. In nation, State and municipality, bred of thrlft lessness and waste, may be in part responsible? Lack of 1C0 per cent proa jction may be part of the cause for our present unwelcome situation but It is just as true that a lot of gears must be readjusted, a lot of slack taken up in political, industrial and individual activities before the nation will come back to normal and the American dollar swell again to its minted worth. The Portland public library has followed up' its home industry ex hibit with arrangement to supply all who desire with the literature of American citizenship. Those who learn the ideals and principles of ! It ought not to require the ver Americanism are Ihe loyalists of i diet of any learned lunacy commis- America. The library is doing good work. PLEASANT NEWS T HOUS.VNDS of housewives in Port land will be thankful that the city council did not fix 2 o'clock in the afternoon as the closing time for the public market. It Is not so difficult for my lady ty give her part ing instructions to the maid, press her dainty foot upon the self starter and roll merrily down to Yamhill street in her limousine during the morning hours, but it is different with thor-o of the market basket brigade who must ride Shanks' marc or the more or less accomodating rattlers of the local fraction company from their breakfast dishpaii to the base of supplies and back again home. To this latter, and larger, class 2 o'clock rwmes all too soon In the day. Dishwater, dust cloths and the callouses of broom and mop are too closely associated with the morning hours for them conveniently to escort the family market basket on any morning or early atfernoon pil grimages. They who may desire but do not hope to gain a six hour day or a five day week, would rather have a 6 o'clock closing hour. And it may be there are some of the city com missioners who are in much the same fix. There are a goodly number of male bundle carriers jabbjng their laden elbows into the innocent pedes- ; !, k.. n, i, , n r, trians about the market Stalls after 2 o'clock. , i " j , The Tacoma overseas veteran who is being prosecuted by his wife ' for non-support after he had per- i ... . . . ... . i nutted her to sacrifice a part of , her jawbone for his facial recon struction, probably thought she wouldn't be able to talk back no matter what he did. SKIRTS W HAT is morality? What is im morality? An lnterchurch gath ering at Atlantic City condemns as immoral tne dress worn by women who belong to the churches. It may be the skirt is too short .the heel too high, the waist too low. Will the gentlemen who criticise bring their conference to a climax by adopting a uniform dress which they will then carry home and induce their wives and the fair members of their congregations lo adopt? If so, of what pattern shall the decorous ap parel be? And what persuasiveness will be equal to the task of persuading milady to accept i? ine styles or tn past were not ex empt from scorn. The ladles of other lands scarcely invite emulation, neither those in Senegambia who solve the problems of dress by doing away with it. nor the ladles of Paris, to whom gowning is ever an adjunct of charm and never a concealer of it. Not even the mover of the resolution would approve general adoption of the "Mother Hubbard," which, like char- fity, covers all and touches nothing. The wrapper, . counterpart of the Mother Hubbard, has been condemned more as a sign of slothful character than any other article of dress. Yes, we know that there is a golden mean nf neat and modest dressing, complementary and not subversive or woman's rightful inheritance, of beauty. But every question of dress is secondary to the manner and purpose of her who wears it. A Quaker maifl can work havoc by the drooping of the eyes or a shrug of the shoulders. It would be of Infinitely more value to the church workers to discuss the taste, the training and the character that should guide the choice of dress. Prudery never destroys sordidness The Berkeley students whose "pajama parade" marched them be hind the bars of the San Francisco jail were lucky In one particular at least. They were ready for bed as soon as they hit the place. SHAMROCK FOUR P TlE-WAIi days are recalled by the resumption of Sir Thomas Lip- ton's preparations to make an other try for the America cup. His challenger, Shamrock IV, which has been housed at Brooklyn since she arrived on this side of the water i shortly after the outbreak of the war in 19ft, is to be tuned up again ready for preliminary tryouts next spring. It is expected she will float although she has a wooden hull which has not been wet during the past five year$. Fortunately, if she should sink, she can be easily raised. Her sails are in good condition but the great hollow wood mast is reported to be in bad condition. This mast, which is the largest of its kind ever constructed, cost $20,000. To replace it will cost twice as much. This, however, is a small item when it comes to a contest for the highest yachting honor of the world, Lipton has made several attempts to lift the cup and won for himself the distinc tion of being a good sport. Even in fitting uo the latest Sham. j rock he is taking long chance as his ehallenge has not been accepted by the present holders of the cup. It is a foregone conclusion, though, that it will be. Along aboui. the first of May next we shall be reading that the Shamrock IV is training in Long Island sound for her sail against the American de fender off Sandy Hook in June. If the cup is to be lost the loss would be minimized in the fact that it was won by Lipton, who is a persis tent as well as sportsmanlike chal sion to establish the insanity of Joseph Horart. who attempted to impart "divine instructions" to the I United States senate the other day. UNDERSTANDING LATIN AMERICA From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.

To the Kditor of feeling flourishes in a social condition i The Journal The real estaters met and of Indigence and illiteracy. The Latin American countries display a bewilder ing ethnic and tribal diversity. It is dif ficult for them to think and feel and henCe to act as one. Within the po litical confines of a single country may be fourld a wide variety of speech, of custom, of character and viewpoint as in going from Traxcula to Yucatan In Mexico ; or from Iirtbabura to Ksmeral- das in Ecuador ; or from Cauca to Car. tagena jn Colombia. ... Senor Gamio finds that there are in ,he Latin-American countries only a few specialists in the scientific study of hu- mankind capable of assembling facts and making inferences and then of plausibly presenting their deductions. Moreover, other nations send to Central and South America representatives whose acquam- tance is largely confined to the official caste an(1 the aril,ttM.r8.tic class. The "enormous remainder of the anonymous masses" is little read and understood. "Thj Investment of money in the ex ploitation of an enterprise in any coun try does not necessarily imply the. ac quaintance of the foreign investor with such country." Students of social sci ences and competent journalists should be encouraged to travel and to spread their candid and unbiased reports of what they find. The conclusion paints to the usefulness of just such work as that which James H, Collins is now doing as special correspondent in South America, explaining "the other Ameri cans" to us who have so signally neg lected the other half of the hemisphere. When Is North America to make South America an accepted part of the school curriculum? Even the equator seems abcut as far off to many Americans as the rings of Saturn. Senor Gamio observes and rightly that the sympathetic scientific records of Starr, Hrdlicka, Boas, Lumholtz, Toz ser and others are buried in archives of institutions where the general public knows them not. Information, south and north, must be disseminated and popu larized. While we are so ardent for the cordial mutuality of hands across the sea, may there also be the hand-clasp and the mental outreach of compre hension across the Panama canal. How Woodrow Wilson Attunes Present With the Future G. S. Lee in Saturday Evening Post. The dislike that men who get what they want as a rule out of other men have for President Wilson, when they try to get what they want out of Mr. W'ilson, is partly due to the fact that all the ordinary human wiles in a man when tried on a man like Mr. Wilson do not wile. Mr. Wilson cares for a different set of things, and he is dally truing his conduct and his contact to a different standard of judgment and to another set of values. Before he makes a judgment Mr. Wilson habitually takes a walk with a hundred years. Sometimes he walks backward with a hundred years, some times forward. But he has an his. torical imagination and is always go ing off and taking lonely walks with a century or so. He never forgets that he is an au thor of histories. "If a hundred years from now 1 should be writing the his tory of 'what 1 do this next week," Woodrow Wilson keeps saying, "how should I look? How should I as a con scientious historian feel obliged in my relations to Lodge, for instance, or Bo rah or Reed or General Wood or Jo sephus Daniels or Colonel Harvey or Colonel House, to make myself look?" I do not mean to seem to say that Mr. Wilson is posing to posterity, or attitudinizing in 20 volumes before a thousand years. But I do think he has the habit of seeing himself In per spective In a setting of history, in a row of 20 volumes on a shelf, in an in dex with clouds of scholars embedded as he ia in the most important eight years America or the world has ever had with thousands of people poring over the leaves' for a thousand years looking Woodrow Wilson up. Gold Mines in Stuff That Was OnceThrown Away From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. A Pennsylvania railroad official calls attenUon to these conservation figures, which are calculated to brlcg joy to the heart of any perfect Hooverite In a country still too careless of Its con vertible and savable "waste products." The Pennsylvania last year took in $43,000 from selling 5.376. oo pounds of waste paper, which In other years would probably have been destroyed. Two years ago John L. Hanna was put in charge of collecting the "flying leaves" on the Pennsylvania linea from Pitts burg to New York and from Washington to the Great Lakes. One doesn't usually think of a great railway system as finding- something like a little gold mine in Its own waste bas kets A central "baling plant" was estab lished in Philadelphia and another near Pittsburg. Electric machines are used, with three men to operate them, and 25.000 burlap sacks, filled with "rubbish," travel by the carload to these central points The collection is mada at least once a week. All wire fastenings and other inetals and all heavy bindings are removed, soju to "cull out" any ma terial not suitable for paper pulp- At Philadelphia alone 2.S0O.O00 pounds of waste paper were taken in during 1918, and in June alone the intake came to aoo.ooo pounds. In ante-bellum days they made attar of roses from the garbage of Berlin. We don't need Germany any longer to tell us what to do with things we used to throw away.

Nov. 4. To the Editor of The Journal I would like to know what the Japanese art doing, that they are not allowed to buy land. 1 noticed the first talk about this question in Sun day's paper, an editorial letter by Os borne Yates. It seems to me that if the Japanese question were becoming serious, there would be more talk of it in the papers. Ho far, I have not noticed anything about this. I, for one. think the Japa nese have as much right to buy Uyid in the United States as the negroes. R. K. ROMIG. listor.ed to the remarks of two Portland citlsens.

When the Dew fs on the Corn From the Reriew The daylight saving law, a happy by product of the war, was repealed by the votes of congressmen who explained their action as due to pressure from the farmer. Farm workers of todav, we are told, will not be dragged into the fields w hile wheat and corn are still drip- ping with the dew. How old time farm- ers, lured into city life during the past 20 or 30 years, must rub their eyes and look again as they read all this in the morning paper! The farmer, shivering at the thought of the dew, unwilling to set his foot on the grass until sure that his shoes will not be dampened ' What a contrast with the 'time when, as a bo'y, you hiked over the pasture field looking among clumps of pawpaw bushes for old Sellm, long before rosy fingered Aurora shot the hilltops with her shafts of gold. If his erratic grazing drew you under the honey locusts in the still imperfect light, you might even have to sit down in the dew and extract a thorn from you foot, like the boy who has come down to us in bronze from some thorny field of the old Mediterranean world, though minus his sculptural dignity and plus a more comprehensive outfit of clothes. And after you had caught your horse and curried him, eaten your breakfast and reached the field with the double shovel cultivator of that day, there was still dew enough on the corn to soak through your shirt . and trickle down your sides as you went back and forth between the rows. If you had not ap peared until the dew was gone, your neighbors would have thought some thing wrong. Where the Team Came From From the New York Eienins Poet At a moment when small, or at least comparatively small, colleges are taking the measure of some of the universities on the football field, there is timeliness In a disclosure made by President Emer itus Tucker of Dartmouth in his volume of reminiscences. He refers to a period of about -20 years ago, when it was not so common for a university team to be beaten by one' from an Institution not in Its "class." Hence the necessity for explanations that would not now be felt, and hence one auch explanation that was more ingenious than valid. Dr. Tucker writes : "An amusing illustration of the ten dency to generalise according to pre conceived notions rather than according to ascertained facts appeared In the comment of a New York daily on the success in the same year of the Dart mouth football team over those of Har vard and Prineeton. The snccess was attributed to the physique of the men from the farms and lumber regions of Northern New England. As a matter of fact, the team for that year was made up chiefly of fellows from Western cities.

Fresno is the commercial metropolis of the middle San Joaquin valley. We had wired to H. W. Lake, manager of the Hotel Fresno, thaU we would spend the night there. When we. came Into ; the hotel, tired and hunury. we were i at once escorted to tne dining room, where at a handsomely decorated table ! whose centerpiece was a huge pyramid nf pineaoDles. melons, pears, peaches and eranes. we were served a wonder- inc. seven stories high. The size and ex cellence of this hotel Is one good proof of the prosperity of Fresno and the Fresno district. When we started aouthward next morning, for mllea we passed through vineyards ; for Fresno is the center of the raisin industry. In every field we saw trays of grapes being converted into raisins by the sun. The bulk of California's raisin crop is grown in the 8an Joaquin valley. The two principal varieties grown are the Muscat and the Sultana. These two varieties are rich in sugar and ripen sufficiently early to be dried in the sun. Fresno I county ships large quantities of White Malagas and Flame Tokays. Another j money maker in the grape line is the ! Kntperor. We saw scores of trucks , tO bringing, grajies or trays of raisins the warehouse at Fresno. For mile after mile we ma.le splendid time over the paved state highway. We passed through Malaga and Selma. and on through the Land of Goshen, Tulare, Tipton.
