OREGON AND M'ADOO UNDER the vote of Friday, it is probable that the Oregon delega tion' at San Francisco will be for Mr. McAdoo. And a great many other delegates will be for Mr. McAdoo. He is more often, more prominently and more fa vorably mentioned for the presidency than any other Democrat. In The Journal's 6traw vote on presidential possibilities a few months ago, he ran away frfm all others, revealing a pub lic sen 11 ient in his favor that was almost phenomenal. ' A feature of the poll was that he received hundreds of Republican voles. " . His name was placed on the Oregon ballot against his wishes. ; lie made it clear from the beginning that he thinks this a time when delegates to the convention ought to be free to name a nominee best suited to cope with the unusual times and extraordi nary conditions. lie likewise made it clear that if his name was to be used It must be without his seeking' and solely on the free choice and best Judgment of the San Francisco con vention. : . -" ' It is an honorable attitude. It is the best attitude. It Is an attitude- in keeping wih the presidential office, Mr, McAdoo is an appeal to the popu lar imagination,-His qualities, of lead ership were revealed in the success With which the great war loans were planned and floated. His was the mind on which rested the tremendous responsibility of finding a way to underwrite war expenditures more colossal than had ever "been known to history. . The country, j under his plans and under his captaincy, raised within 19 months more than $26,000, 000,000. It f was the most amazing performance In tiijance of, all time and to the genius of Mr. McAdoo an ap preciative : nation long ago gave the "credit and honor fvplanning and ex ecuting the work. Mr. McAdoo was in the field of war finance what Mr. Hoover was in the field of food administration! Not once during th war was there a question as to Mr. McAdoo's plans. Always there was acknowledgment of the wisdom of the program and of the practicability of the methods. Colos sal as were the processes and propo sals, congress accepted them as sound and the j people believed In them as effective. ' - - - . .' A financier with such a record, a statesman with such a past. Is of pres idential mold and easily a presidential possibility. If 'able bo to function in the mightiest moments through which his country has passed, Mr. McAdoo will , be i acknowledged as a fit leader should he be called to the chief mag istracy of the republic' A London servant girl is running for parliament on the labor ticket. It Isn't the origin that makes, the legislator or the statesman. , it is what's in- th head and heart. The grreat American rail splitter proved that. " ' " TAPPING THE TIPPER TIPPING is commercial bribery, A bribe Is merely a larger tip -secretly given. A tip makes the tipper a snob and the tipped a parasite. The definitions are suggested by a publi cation which comes from the national capital and which ' may be assumed to be the only one of its kind, "The Commercial Bribery and Tipping Re view. It is a crusade journal. It seeks a national cods of ethics against gratui- ties. It pictures the ideal of tipless barbers, tipless bellboys, tipless wait ers, tipless Pullman portersv apd tip less beauty parlor attendants. But it goes farther. It proposes the abolition of contributions for result less advertising in "vanity books, and in : programs i of bazaars, socials, con ventions and Hie like. It is against offerings by', business men and con cerns to those organizations that are only partially supported by dues and which offer as return for the gratuity questionable 1 exercise of Influence or "pull.'. Incidentally, it appears that the word "tip" Is a combination of the Initials of the words "to insure promptness." r, ' . . . The object of the publication Is laudable. It is fully as un-American to pay ' indirectly for service that should be on a basis of honest com pensation as to 'offer gratuities for service unearned. But to fight tip ping is a good deal ; like ' a modern David going-out with a slingshot to slaughter Goliath. If the tippees de cided to get along without tips, which they will not, the chances are ten to one that the, tipsters would persist in scattering! their tributes. A negro has become a candidate for governor of Arkansas. Judging from the fates of some other negroes in the South, we should say he will be lucky to escape lynching. , BEHOLD THEIR WORK IN THE election returns, the Myers Hamaker soviet -can see what they have done to President "Wilson. If their claims were true. President Wilson has j been repudiated in . Ore gon. They heralded themselves as the president's j supporters. They said there was an inter-party war with Chamberlain's friends on one side and the president's friends on the other. As their bugle blower, the Oregonian sounded their slogan throughout the state. On that issue they have been beaten, and j if their claims had been true, the president would have been repudiated, j ; ! To assist themselves they tricked the president. n At the moment when delegates to the San Francisco con vention are being elected and when he was highly interested in what the de cisions of that convention are to be, they queried him about the League of Nations. j - ; : Naturally,' the president replied with a statement of his well known posi tion. They twisted that reply into an alleged objection to the nomination of Chamberlain. ' As an enemy of the president, the Oregonian quickly saw a partisan ad vantage to j be gained and it , became the ally ? and i horn-blower of Myers and Hamaker. ; It spread broadcast the cry that Hamaker and Myers were the ."Wilson faction and all Democrats who' did not follow them the "Cham-, berlain faction." V . Thus the name of a great president. an illustrious statesman, the leader of liberty and democracy in the world. was made the tail of the Hamaker-Myers-Oregonian kite. It was trailed in the dust for the Oregonian's puN poses. It; was dragged into the mire of local politics for the private revenge of f Myers upon Chamberlain. The end is the utter repudiation-of the trio, and his enemies will seize upon the election returns as a verdict of hostility to the president. j : But that will be a wicked interpreta tion. The nomination of Chamberlain is no repudiation of the president. Thousands of President Wilson's most devoted supporters in Oregon voted for .Chamberlain. They refused to be led by the Oregonian-, Myers and the Iowa prohibition leader. Hundreds of them disliked Chamberlain's differ ences with the president, but voted for him for the great service he has rendered and because they knew that it was a choice between Chamberlain and Stanfield. 1 Wood row .Wilson's name I never should " have been brought into the controversy. The trick by which he was garbled into It and attempt made to use his prestige for motives of private revenge was a wl6ked use of his great j name. . ' POPULATION PULLERS.. .; ; ; .. i - i . .- - , THE scouts of the Children of Israel returned fo their parched breth ren; in the desert bearing great clus ters of grapes and reporting the dis covery of a land flowing with milk and honey. Thereupon the wanderers pressed on bravely until they came tb the promised land. Thereupon, likewise, the fashion was set of faring forth promptly to regions reputed to be rich in products contributory to human comfort. More than one valued citizen in Ore gon today ; came originally because he had been told of the luscious straw berries and cherries grown here, '.he "great big baked potato" has not in frequently been the luring evidence of a soil fertility in the J Oregon country which promised prosperity to all who built homes on the land. Our sun flushed .apples and giant trees, our golden ; grain and Tillamook cheese, are unquestioned factors in the in crease of population. It means . a great deal to be able to say that when fetid summer nights in the East and Middle West chase slumber away, the nights ? of Oregon are cool and rich with reinvigorating rest. And there are millions of Easterners dying of dry rot for lack of the spiritual, men tal and physical stimulus to Be found always in our marvelous outdoor country. - Oregonians should capitalize these invaluable assets during the coming summer when" the1 greatest of all oo- portunities will be presented by the largest groups of visitors the state has ever welcomed. ' At the Union depot there should be a fractional exhibit of the state's products with an unmistakable sign to guide the visitors to the f larger showing on the first floor" of the Or egon building. "; -I V ., ' . A fourth of the show windows In Portland and other cities might be de voted to displays of Oregon's products from field, forest, mine and stream. Their sales will compensate them for the use of the space. ; ! rt i Chefs in restaurants, and hotels could prepare i the - tasteful viands peculiar ' to Oregon in combination, menus. r, .V,. ? " - -i J A portion of the now unproductive windows that admit light to the first floor of the Electric building might be used for exhibitions depicting the electrical resources and multiplied; la bor saving devices energized by elec tric current. . :s . . There are many other definite meth ods which resourceful i enthusiasm may utilize with fine returns to the state, its development and Its business. Why not see how much we can make for Oregon out of the summer's visitation to the state? . r "I am for Hiram" seems to be a popular melody in the repertoire of Oregon politics. -..'? . . J A SPXJSNDID VOTE OREGON voted overwhelmingly for the college and elementary school bills.' " ';.;: - -U f ft It is hope when the people of the state make such a stand. It I is a glorious thought to put the ! child above the dollar. It is a noble impulse that insists that we give our young men and young women a liberal edu cation and that we do it at home instead of depending upon other states to do it for us. : ! i ; Next to its conscience, the thinking in the world is its greatest asset. It is the thinking of the worker that is the most assistance to his hands. The human mind slowly and painfully developed. It groped on through cen turies of mental darkness. Its tardi ness in coming to full function filled the world with rivers, of blood shed in countless brutal and I unnecessary wars. Superstition and Ignorance that held the mind in slavery stood as a barrier to civilization until with' the invention of printing, the Ideas of men In one generation began to be handed down to succeeding epochs. Printing put thought on pinions and the world began "at once to advance. The, printed page in the classroom, the children at; their tasks, the pa tient teachers in the day's routine of instruction, the school houses that send knowledge . streaming through the land they are the real armies and fortresses of the republic. ( i It is a reason for ! congratulation and hope when the people of this state stand for a great policy of better- and better schools - and college trained men and women:. The state's name has the respect of the nation. It gave the country, a leadership when the great crisis was on. The vote on the two school bills is in line with the Oregon of those . darker and i more strenuous days. It is example of a state with eyes fixed on the future and thought i intent . on a forward vision. ' i '. ' " ; The sums voted are an investment, not an outlay. They will pay divi dends, not only in a material way but dividends of children and grown-ups with power to reason. ; America was horrified to learn during the Spanish war that she was spending a million dollars a day. But we are spending $18,000,000 a day now, and it is time of , peace. A modern war leaves its mark. And the next conflict of the nations will leave a- bloodier one. ? NEEDS THE MONEY IF THE state of Oregon owes the city money for treatment of state patients at the Cedars, why is the bill not paid? What has caused a delay of several months? ! ; -The Cedars is an Institution in Multnomah county where afflicted women are confined and treated. The unfortunates are sent there until a cure is effected. It is a hospital where they are rescued from . the ravages of diseases that in time would; under mine their entire physical tructure It Is an institution that stands as a protection for other young people and the children of the future. ' The Cedars is maintained by the city. The state remunerates the mu nicipality for state patients J, treated there. , :. ,;v .-' i 't .'-'. A bill has been rendered by the city. Money was appropriated by the state, it is claimed, to liquidate the obliga tion. ; The money never reached the city, but we are told, has reverted to the general fund of the state.' , ; If the state owes the city money, it should be paid and paid, promptly. THE MERCHANT MARINE THE American merchant; marine is up to American brain power. Th opening of k the : world war found American vessels carrying less than 10 per ; cent of the nation's f orefgn commerce. "f Now there ' are ships enough in our merchant marine to carry at least the major part of our trade abroad. . , v But we will have to meet foreign competition.: The senate ; commerce committee includes In its recent re ort the following from Fairplay of London : ' . :-- ' .- When it has been a question of the survival of the fittest, we . have in variably done our level best to crush or mold opposition, and ae reeards America's new mercantile marine, we hall go on doing it and expect her to do the same by us. - The committee Itself declares flatly: , We assert the need of a merchant marine for the national defense and for our commercial growth and declare it to be our policy " to do whatever may be necessary to meet this need. The committee proposes a shipping board of seven rather than five. ' The men on the board should have high business character, wide : experience an4 keen knowledge of the shipping business. Outside connections should not lessen their ability to play fairly. Eyery important section of the coun try should be represented.: During the period of .reorganization the gov ernment must act as a buffer to' pre vent the defeat of the whole merchant marine enterprise by foreign competi tion. The policy of ship construction should be a continuing one and types and vessels be improved as rapidly as possible. . - The provisions indicated are con tained in the Green bill, which; has the approval of the committee. , . The measure also provides for preference rates on railroads to goods that have been carried In American ships. Much, similarity is" found between the senate 'committee's ; recommenda tions and the declarations of the re cent national foreign trade council. If one may be assumed to represent the legislative . trend of the nation, the other, public- sentiment, there should be no difficulty In such agreement as will carry American ; goods ' success fully and profitably to -the farthest corners of the earth. i Turkish peace delegates were very much surprised to see on a recent visit to Paris that the gay French capital was not in ruins. The Ger mans had told them" during the war that Boche aviators had wrecked Paris. The Turks have had a lot of surprises since 1915. MAYFLOWER TERCENTENARY NO WONDER the Pilgrim Fathers were tremendously impressed with the wild breakers of the Massa chusetts coast. The Mayflower to which they entrusted their lives, the future of a nation and the destiny of freedom was a vessel of but 180 tons. The smallest of our; coasting schoon ers is about twice as large. A river steamer in comparison Is a sizable craft It is doubtful if a hundred Or- egonians without trepidation would today launch an explorative expedi tion in so frail a craft out of the mouth of the Columbia to Wiilapa bay. , j ; Steel vessels of 3500 tons, such as were produced in our Alb ina -yards, are considered only large enough for coaster service. In the day of the Mayflower such ships would have been regarded as the leviathans of the deep The ships of local production ranging from 8500 to 9500 tons were then neverFea?med of. V . Yet In their eggshell craft with ac commodations the most miserable, the pilgrims reached and founded a new nation and a new world. Three hun dred years have passed since they set sail from Southampton in 1620, but the world has yet to witness a voyage more fraught with Import to the wel fare of humanity. ' " ."'.''! The tercentenary of the. landing of the Mayflower at Plymouth wilf be Lnationally observed during the pres ent year. It will be a Mayflower Thanksgiving. ' Letters and post cards from women of all stations of life In Eng land are being showered on mem bers - of parliament with demands for retrenchment and reform in governmental affairs. The British woman Is doing a lot of thinking these days and" her thoughts are worthy of consideration by members of Britain's sterner sex.- CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS PENNSYLVANIA is preparing to bid farewell to , the little red school house. Exit : the structures like that one, ronfance embowered, which in spired Whittier's exquisite "Barefoot Boy. Exit the; benches worn with time and carved with boyhood's Bar lows. Exit the walls that echo still Friday afternoon's declamatory, "You'd ' soarce expect one of my age . " ' :- h :l Under an act of the Pennsylvania legislature "any school which has a daily average attendance or 10 or less must be abandoned. ' The objective is the consolidated school which will provide" educational facilities equal to the best in the centers of population. Most of the children will be required to journey greater" distances but; they will receive better training., Consolidated schools will also con stitute community centers for all sorts of social "doings" that add pleasure to rural lfving; ' Each ; must be en vironed with - adequate; playgrounds. Gymnasium exercise, and manual training are part of regular school work. . .'-!'. The Keystone state has -now 9500 one-room schools attended by half the children of Pennsylvania. During the past year 295 one-room buildings have been abandoned In favor of 44 consol idated schools. At this rate Pennsyl vania will have in the end only about one seventh as many rural schools as at present. In Oregon there are regions where Consolidation would be, disastrous. Distances pupils must traverse to one- roonr schools are long enough. But where density of Donulatinn annmri. mates that of Pennsylvania, the argu ment in favor of the consolidated school willtbe convincing. G. O. P. SHORT ON LADY DELEGATES By Carl Smith. Washington Staff Correspondent of The Journal - . Washington, May 22. The Democrats of the : country are extending much greater recognition to ther" women,: in the election of delegate to the national convention than ' are the Republicans. On the basis ; of, returns, received ; on delegates elected ; the proportion of Democratic women who will " occupy seats as full fledged ' delegates at - San Francisco will , be , In the proportion of four : or five to one as compared with the Republican gathering .at Chicago. The Republicans . have been liberal In electing women alternates, who will be entitled to seats, but not to votes except In the occasional absence of their prin cipals, : but politicians of that - party have been . chary of choosing . women to actually cast votes in naming s the presidential candidate. The alternate has an admission ticket and an honorary position, but the delegate has the voting power. . ' ..,,-;. - "4. , , The contrast between the parties is well : illustrated by the example of New y ork.' Here the Democratic men, made an equal division of the "big four" delegates at Jarge, naming Miss Elisa beth Marbury and Miss Harriet May Mills. The Republicans, after consider able debate about conceding one place on their "big four" to a'womani decided against it, and determined that the women should be satisfied with an alter nate, r In the entire New York Republi can delegation of 88 there are only two women." From Greater New York alone the Democrats chose ' six. with 1 others from up-state and the two delegates at large. ' . e. i In the Minnesota Democratic delega tion are four women, headed by Mrs. Peter Olesen as a delegate at large. Mrs. Olesen made an impressive speech at the Jackson day banque't In Wash ington last January. The Republicans have one; woman delegate from that state, also .a member at large, Mrs. Manley L. Fossoon," There are three women among, the, Democratic delegates in Kansas, including Mrs. .Caroline Drennan, at large. No Republican women delegates are reported from that state. In . Oklahoma exactly the same situation exists in the two parties, with four Democratic ' women and no , Re publican. There are- four Democratic women delegates from Iowa, three from South Dakota, two from Nevada and one from Arizona. ;t ' ;. ' -' ' ' Aside from the two Republican women delegates from New York and the one from Minnesota, before referred ; to, re ports have been received of the elec tion of only four others by the G. O. P. One is from -North Dakota, one from South Dakota, one from Tennessee and one from Kentucky. . From the lattec state Mrs.. John Glover South, daughter of the late Senator Bradley, was elected a large, and from Tennessee was named Mrs. Marshall Priest, daughter of a federal judge. It appears that at least 30 Democratic women have been elected delegates at San Francisco so far, with the returns from that party much less complete than from the Republican, and that the Re publicans, with a much Iareer nroDor- tion. of delegates : chosen, have selected seven. . - While Chairman Will H. Hays of the Republican itational committee has made considerable noise about the recognition of women In party affairs, it seems that when it comes to action the Democratic party is the- one - in J which - most of the recognition, is being given.

To the Editor of The Journal Immediately after the elec tion of . 1916 Dr. P. A. Baker, national superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, said: The time has come-to insert ; plank, in the platform of all political parties favoring nation-wide prohibition." And then. - to make it stronger, he said: "Henceforth, the po litical party that is. not willing to put a plank in its platform,, and the can didate, from president' down. '-who is not willing to stand squarely o that plank. Is not worthy the support of patriotic American citizens." If he did not speak facts,'" no' -man ever did. But there are other facts. The proper time to insert prohibition planks in - national platforms has ' long since' passed. More than 40 years ago, both Democratic and , Republican 'par ties became notoriously ", wet by the adoption of wet planks at the behest of the liquor interests, thereby becoming national political guardians aid protec tors of a destructive criminal. .To In crease their un worthiness, when the good women of America presented, over whelming petitions from the very best citizenship, pleading for humanity, they were scorned. - Surely, as the good doc tor said, these parties "were not worthy the support of patriotic American 'citi zens ; and they never have been since their bargain and sale to the brewers In 1872 and 1876. - What shall we say. then, of "so-called . patriotic American citizens" who have been giving their support to these old, unworthy ' partners in crime? -' , -1 - -,--v "Again. Dr. Baker said: "We believe the last president has been elected .who will enter the White House dumb and silent on this, the greatest and most far reaching question before the American people." Today, It is impossible to -give an intelligent opinion as to what may happen in our presidential election this year. The old parties are splitting by their own political rottenness, so there is no telling what the end may be. It may be impossible for them to pull them selves together enough to win another election. Possiblyf my" desire may ; be the father of my thought of "possible Impossibility," and if such should be charged up to me I will not deny it Now I notice this sentence in the i GOD'S BETTER THAN , ALL By Vicar Pritchard of Llandovery ' (OD'S better than heaven or aught therein,' Than the earth or aught we there can win, ' Better than the world or its wealth to me i Gotfs better than all that is or can be.

A Portland miller calls attention to the interesting fact that where the mills of the Rose City make enough flour In a day to supply three loaves of'breaid to each of the residents of Portland, Seattle and Tacoma, the mills of the Northwest provide enough flour for nearly 10,000.000 persons, a loaf a day. He says ! "Taking Into consideration that the mills of the Pacific Northwest ground &0,000,0(0 bushels of wheat for the year ending jjecemixT 31, ISM?, the area required to growithis amount of wheat would be in the neighborhood of 2,000.000 acres, based on a produc tion of 20 .busheht to the acre, which is considered a fair average (2'Kbush els to the acre Is the uauaJI accepted average). As It requires two-thirds of a pound of flour to make, a loaf of bread, the output of these Pacific Northwest mills would give a-loaf a day to 9.15J.17S persons, which la more than the ' entire . population of the Pacific staf.es, baaed on the 1910 census, and including Wyoming, Colo rado, California, Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Montana, Utah, Ari zona, New Mexico and Nevada." Upon Inquiring thnoutfh the lo-al bakers' aj'f-ociatlon v n learn that the '.ally production of the Portland bak , rles at this time -1 approximately 00,000 loaves of bread, baaed on one lound to the loaf. Besides this, the-y a I ho .manufacture large quantities of cakes, pies and other sweet g'KxJii. v
