THE j OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTL AND, SUNDAY .MORNING, AUGUST .15. 1920. - RED; CROSS HAS MANY GIRLS IN LIFE SAVING CORPS Numbers of Portland Young ,Wbnpen Besides Men and Boys Pledged to Save Bathers' Lives The Red Cross "The Greatest Mother I of All" Is known to every : mother' son in . America., : and al- jmost I throughout the wide wide "-world.; tut how many persons right , here In well Informed Portland know that the Greatest Mother has In this 4ity a life saving corps largely made : up of girls who have become trained swimmers and are pledged to save lives of drowning persons . and to! spread the knowledge of "how to leave others, to the end that everyone eventually shall become a swimmer and a life saver. "Girls lean be just as effective In res cue work as are men or boys, for the -' ability to rescue a drowning person does net depend upon size or strength, but , rmther upon knowledge a child can and : frequently does' rescue an adult." says C i- - Y. Werner, swimming- expert and ; ilfe saver, who is a member of the examln - ing board of the Portland chapter of the . American Red. Cross life saving Corps, i SMALL jBOY BEST -i' - t I . "The small boy, however, makes the ' - best life saver of all, because he has not ' -learned fear r and three of him are ! usually present before the first adult r-f arrives on the scene." : Extern swimmers among women have proven themselves dependable Ilia savers In hundreds of emergencies. In endurance races and tests they can hold their own against men. They have been knewn to cover distances of from . 10 to 12 miles in water which was too , cold to men; have remained in It from ; nine to 32 hours without rest or nour Ishment land concluded such experiences without apparent discomfort, while men competitors were suffering from cold, cramps pr exhaustion. Achievements of this character put women in the ranks of men as potential life savers. The place, too, that swimming has : taken Injthe modern athletic program of - publio schools and) universities, girl's camps and clubs, the Y.'W. C A., etc. j Ms materially aided In elevating , the standard of proficiency in the sport and has contributed to the building up of a body of iswlmmers that may be made an important factor in the prevention of drowning accidents and In the rescue of those! in danger in the surf or In the deep waters of lake and river. LITE 8AYIICG ENCOURAGED -Among the various classes of women thus' trained, emphasis is often placed 'On speed and fancy diviner. The same emphasis turned to life saving methods 1 will? make women of invaluable service In times r of danger. The average swimmer who may never make a record -1 : for speed or excel In acquatlc acorn- ' plishments may, with practice, becom, an expert life saver. -. All -of these considerations have led the Red Crpss to , encourage training among - v women I In llfeo saving methods by the .-offer of a certificate, badge and bath-t- Ing : sui emblem on the successful com . pletioniof certain tests. The women's corps is similar to those of the men ex cept that thy will not have life saving stations and will not do beach patrol work, i The woman's corps is, however, Vf real I service In women's camps on the V Stonier beach and in the life of any waterfront town. S ' ' The Red Cross does not confine its ' " efforts I to the education of girls. Nu- merically speaking the girls are in the ' minority. Most of the corps are boys, - the number being 800 against 200 men, women i and girls combined. f At (this season of the year, when , thousands of people are going in the water. Werner continued, "our members '.- . are having many and varied opportunl . ; ties toi not only display their prowess ; In the! water, but to instruct others. ' Only recently the Portland corps had occasion to feel very proud of one of its number, Miss Louisa Schumacher, who rescued O. P. : Spencer, when he was coughtj in the undertow at the coast." , tokmIed here this teak The tafe Saving Corps of the American Red Of-oss is a good many years old and a ffew Portland people have been mem bers for several years, but it was only last : February the ; organisation was formed in Portland.

To the Editor, of The Journal -In the Oregonian of August 4 was printed an article written by Mark Sullivan,! which should startle and set to thinking every Intel ligent reader. ' The article said : "To what extent will the Republicans be sfble to make Wilson the chief point of at tack during the coming campaign?. The Republicans would like very much to make Wilson the chief object of assault. Their mood is such that they would be entirely willing to base their5 chance of winning on that of assault alone." What a grand old party! What a commend able campaign issue ! . What a splendid foundation on which to build their hopes of success. With what confidence and trust we can ally ourselves to a party with such high ideals and re sourcefulness 1 If this is a part of their boasted Americanism, how the heart of every true American cltlsep must thrill with the glory of it. Now 1 am led to ask: Has the - Republican party no merits on which to stand, no record of good deeds done, nothing good to present to the people for their consideration? Where are all their boasted great achievements in the past? If as they claim during the years! they were in power the whole country was' prosper ous. If they can point With- pride, 1 to years when there was bo unrest, -J no strikes, no bank failures, no panics, just a reign, of peace and plenty, and if,, as they say, all the . disasters ' and woes have come through Democratic rule, then why: not give us history i to prove these assertions, and show their right to the reins of government? Why need they resort to base, flagrant, demoniacal, un reasonable abuse of our) president, be cause he dares adhere to his firm, un swerving belief In right i and Justice to all the world? Is not respect, at least, due one who for the good of his fellow men bore the "heat audi burden of the day," and who still suffers ifrom ;the mighty burdens borne, instead of heap ing upon him the - base j calumnies, em anating from the fertile . brains of political aspirants? Wejl for him that he heeds so little their machinations. Could the world : war have been brought to an end so quickly and suc cessfully without great ejxpense, and did not the end justify the means? We got results, but what about the expense of our last congress from which we j got no results? - ' ;";-.! No doubt, abuse will be the method adopted in the coming campaign, I but many fair minded people will turn from It, In disgust. If Senator Lodge in his keynote speech, was so bitter and vicious in his assault, that even some of; his own party were distrusted, will our votes stand for it? I believe not. Can we as intelligent. Christian women ally our selves to any party who would try to appeal to us through unchristian abuse of one who demands our confidence ' and trust? If this is the best the Repub lican party csn offer Us, then let us repudiate It emphatically. N. A. R. .1 RAILROAD INEFFICIENCY Portland. Aug. 7. To the Editor of The Journal In reading your editorial about the tralnload of gasoline that 1 was rushed by fast freight from Tulsa, Okla.. to Portland, I noted that the. shipment was routed via San Antonio 1 and, the Southern Pacific I was at one struck by the fact that this was a very round about routing. So I have proceeded to get some facts and hers! thev ara; I Th j-short line distance front Tulsa to Port- lana via san Antonio 1$ 3177 miles (St. 1U-& S. T. to Ft. Worth. M., K. A T. to Ban Antonio, S. P. lines to Portland). The short line distance- from Tulsa to Portland is 2048 miles Midland Valley railway to Wichita, StJ I. & s. T. to Ellsworth. Kan.. Union (Pacific to port land), and this Is 1129j miles less than the short line distance yia Ban Antonio. It seems to. me that If the motor car dealers really wanted to rush that train load of gasoline to Portland, they might have insisted that it be routed over a short line route and with the least, pos sible delay. Somewhat quicker (time might be made by routing over the Mid land Valley to Wichita A-T.& S. F. to Denver. Union Pacific to Portland a total distance- of 2090 miles. Thin is a striking example of the inefficiency of the railroads in routing freight at the present time. Much Is said and written about the big shortage Of cars, but such instances of rank inefficiency as this makes one feel that the shortage is to a large extent, only an. apparent one. SAVING HOLDS Third As long as the railroads continue to drag entire . train loads of freight over thousands of miles of track unnecessar ily, thereby wasting time, equipment and motive power, they have small reason to wail so loudly over the car shortage. A Railroad Employe., ; i- CONDEMNS THIRD DEGREE ! Pendleton. Aug. 10. To the "Editor of The Journal I have been a citizen of Oregon for about one and one half years, and have taken your paper for that tirite. I think you have the biggest, the best and the cleanest paper in Oregon, and I am writing this letter of thanks to you for the attitude you take regarding the third degree, which is administered to unfortunate prisoners. I We have had, I am sorry to say, a real display of this in our fair city. I don't believe the good name of Til Taylor should be used to shield the animal desire of some officers. We loved our sheriff. His name will be remembered here as long as Umatilla county exists, but, nevertheless, our of ficers, whom we pay to do their duty should have a : few lessons on this third degree stuff. '' i Til Taylor told a friend of his ; In Portland not long before his death that the people of j Umatilla county did not hire him to murder people, but to arrest them. This he did, and now to look into the faces of prisoners which have been slapped, bruised and had strong ammo nia showed into their nostrils reveals: no kindly act. I would like to know the difference ! between - this and real mob law, if any at 'all. The mob la the most decent. : H j "' .' . ) The best people of Pendleton uphold your attitude. They, I am sure, feel as X do about it feel like thanking you. I Am a Friend of The Journal. BELIEVES IN THIRD DEGREE 10; To; the Editor of The M osier, Aug. Journal Your recent editorial in regard to the third degree of the murderers of Sheriff Til Taylor of Pendleton. I must say there is nothing too brutal they can do to those murderers. : People don't think how brutal ,they were to take the life of the sheriff, a man that had not harmed them or mistreated them in any way. It is said that the laws of our govern ment are based on Christian principles and are madejto reform and not avenge. If the Christian people believe that, why don't they reform these bloodthirsty mur derers? Has i Owens or Hart any good qualities? Do you think either could be reformed by kind treatment, or puri fy his mind? jl say it is impossible. He is a hardened criminal and cannot be trusted with any degree of liberty. I find that, murders Increase each year. I believe in the third degree good and strong. Most! people don't realize what it is to have one of 'their family mur dered. There: has been a murder in ' our family one of the worst coldblooded murders committed in the state of Ne vada so I can sympathise with Mrs. Taylor. j- - v. j F. J. Engelke. - ' .': THE EARWIG '. Portland, Aug. 12. To the Editor of The, Journal-4-The earwig pest Is 'easily got rid of by trapping, so says Mr. Jones, a florist. Having had a great deal of experience! in that line, he says that the traps are made of paper cones, with grass or moss placed in them not too firm, and laid in the forks of the trees or anywhere else the pest It using. They crawl in there for the day, and the cones should be emptied into hot water, and that ; kills them. Flower- pots can be used the same wast with grass, and In verted, leaving room underneath for them to crawl in. (The writer has never Seen but one of the pests In the last 64 years, and he has been cultivating flowers and trees for years. They, must have been imported in boxes of fruit or packing stuff. Dahlias are their special food, so watch out. About eating, clothes, such a thing,! was i never heard of before; so I hear. I guess they are a production of the profiteers, high cost, etc j Osborne Yates. 'A PRIMARY SUGGESTION The Dalles Aug. 6. To the Editor of The Journal At ourj primary election I was, refused the privilege, of voting on the laws referred to ; the voters at that election, without voting the Republican or Democratic ticket- After a parley I submitted taking the referendum and the Democratic ,- tickets, voting the former. I nicely doubled the tatter with but little mutilation by crosses and handad them in. ;d I believe the judges were wrong in their construction of the law. Be that as it may I am opposed t --- - r - to the present straight party ticket sys tem. It practically eliminates the In dependent voter from any benefit in the primary election. It also cultivates1 the partisan spirit, which I consider one. of the greatest menaces to our government today. I believe in the primary system with an amendment that will do away with the two -or more tickets and adopt the one ticket system as we have In the final election. The inaependent voter could have some show and it would barm no one else. Then let the two having the highest Vote be placed on the final ballot regardless of party. If a candi date preferred to place an R or a D after his name all right, but I would vote for him ; sooner without It. Now- 1 would tike to hear from any one either for or against this position. A Non-Partisan. DISTURB NOT THE DEAD Portland. Aug. 11. To the Editor of The Journal There seems to be some discussion over the woman suffrage problem 'at this time, scarcely three months before our national election? This suffrage business, coming up at this particular time. Is decidedly . wrong so far as Democratic success la con cerned. Mr. Bryan having failed to get bis bone dry plank .in the Democratic platform, is peeved and is now. luke warm in his efforts toward the. success of the party. Through his lectures and newspaper hei has conveyed the Impres sion amongst the women folks that Cox-f is for booze." Many women of Oregon have that Impression still. As a matter of fact about two thirds of the women voters of all the suffrage ; states have listened to the words of Bryan and others. Anyone with any intelligence can see that the more women votes cast in November the less chance Cox has for election. Today Cox would be a winner, but a few weeks of suffrage campaign by the Democrats and our cause is lost. What la needed in Oregon is1 harmony hi the Democratic ranks. Far better to uttte our energies to the bringing about harmony and cooperation. So far as Oregon is concerned "booze and suf frage are dead Issues. Booze" is voted ut and suffrage voted in, and we need not be concerned about eastern or south ern suffrage fights. Suffrage, like re iigfon, should not be forced upon those ho do not desire it. Many thousands df women today do not desire the bal lot and the affairs of their homes are their chief concern. Let all the Demo irats of Oregon, both men and women, levote their energies to the promotion ( harmony and boost for Cox and Hoosevelt and the fine progressive plat 'orm adopted at San Francisco. Let sleeping issues slumber on and dead Is sues rest in peace. Otto D. Drain. FOREIGN INFLUENCE ; Portland, Aug. 12. To the Editor of The Journal There is so much said about the League of Nations and its bearing on the coming elections it leaves no doubt that it is the foremost issue of the campaign. Some Republican senators have come out and stated that the Irish will support Senator Harding because of the League of Nations, also the Germans because they do not like it. It looks to me as though conditions are getting bad when the outcome of an elec tion hinges on foreign thought.. But I believe Cox is wiUing to let it go at that and stand on pure, unadul terated Americanism. . We see in th( papers that Germany is willing to join with the allies against Russia, if the allies will repudiate the League of Nations, and a few days later the Hearst papers come out' against Cox on account of the League of Nations. It looks as though there is a great deal of German influence floating around In this country yef. The foreign influence and - the desire to discredit the president surely is" the sum and total of. the opposition to the League of Nations. ; v C. R. V. A SOURCE OF WONDER Portland. Aug. 11. To the Editor of The Journal Your 'Washington cor respondent, Carl - Smith, tells us that North " Dakota promises to furnish a new type of senator in the next congress. Professor E. FrLadd. He writes well of the principles of honesty. Industry and common sense composing the char acter of Mr. Ladd, for which we thank him very much. Having child-like con fidence in the sincerity of the propa ganda fed us by the capitalist newspa pers as to 'the general bad impute of everything Non-partisan, it is most .un believable that a , man of the sterling character of Mr. Ladd should be brought forward for office by the Non-partisan league. But such it Is. as we are glad to believe. Mr. Smith tells us that the pro fessor is a pillar of the ; Non-partisan cause and that he has never run for of fice before. That he is being, pushed into the senate on account of his hon esty, industry and common sense, rather than by conniving and political trickery. The experiment wiU be followed with much "interest. He having the Repub lican nomination. It is- assumed that he will associate and - act with Repub licans and sinners in organizing the pen mate. This is viewed by politicians and grafters with concern bordering on amazement. It is wished by the public that such action or association will bet ter the action of the Republicans, rather than Injure the character of Mr. Ladd. I wish that he be elected . to the senate, and that he render a little honest serv ice for his feed, rather than play politics and commit obstruction, as has become EDUCATIONAL Miss Catlin's School FOR BOARDING AND DAT PUPILS Fall Term Opens September 13 Mow occupies Its new buOdins OB .

To. the Editor of The Journal A letter in The Journal, August 8, asks about a law governing weed pests and thistles. I ask the same question. If I mistake not. there is a law that applies to weed pests on , the county roads of the valley, cockle burr, thistles, etc and the " road ; supervisors see that it is complied with. In this city vacant lots held for ; speculation can do just as they please and nothing . said about it In Irvlngton- the- pest corner is, as usual, -Twenty-sixth, and Hancock, the worst Of all pests growing along the walk. On Twenty-eighth street in rainy weather along the Smith - tract people have to- turn out- into- the street on ac count of .the weeds. Soon they will be in bloom and in seed and then maybe 'they will be cut down, as last year. One would think that the ; beautiful homes surrounding would protest. Osborne Tates.
