TAKE NO CHANCES IN ANOTHER part of The Journal to day appears an opinion by ex-Senator Frederick ,VV.; Mulkcy, which reads: ." . '. If !' fort of PortlAna. lb deolroua of increaBln; , iU Uxm Tor fenorai pur poses It can ubmlt th question of an Increftwa of tix Uvr to the voters of the port. at the election to be held on the econd of November under the terms i and provisions of Chapter 319 of the general laws of Crenon for 1919. The port commission would have, to act at once, however, as the resolution of the commission submtttlnr lh,tiues Uon must be passed not lesstruyV 35 day- "before the election. The twenty seventh, of September would "btr thel,t day thai, the commission cfcuNl pass such a resolution. r ' ' This Is legal opinion from a former chairman of. the dock commission to support the assertion that the Port commission need, not Jeopardize funds for next Scar's channel worjt by the 'possible- failure of the Swan isTatndi, measure, t . The port commission can offer an alternate measure if "H acts at once. Those who opposed the port bill with Its 1 10,000,000 bond issue but want theport to have all funds necessary for' channel work will gladly give their votes to an alternate measure, even ir II -propose $1,000,000 in current 'funds as contrasted with a gigantic bond Issue and the assumption of strange duties' by the port commis-' alon. ', The port commission says that if the present port bill fails it can keep but one dredge working part of the time' next year. 'f.'ie commission !m no r'ght and no need to leave vital channel work to the doubtful success of a measure that may be defeated because of other provisions which it contains. The commission should, submit the alternate. If it does not do so, and if the Swan island measure should fail what would be the port commission's explanation to the people? QENATOR HARDING favor a separate peace with Germany J the hnox resolution lor a separate peace wjth Germany. A separate peace with Germany is exactly what former Kaiser Wilhelm wants America to make. It is what the Prussian war lords want. It is exactly the- thing wanted by fho;je who brought on the. world war. They are against the peace negotiated at Versailles because the treaty framed t'.ere creates an organization of nations to see that the terms of the treaty are carried out. It is the only treaty of the kind ever framed. Ail other treaties of peace could at any time be reduced to "scraps of paper" by any nation. All other treaties relied merely on the pledged word of signatory nations to carry out the terms agreed upon. Am a result, all former peace treaties have been broken, wars have come again an-1 again, and the world has remained crimsoned with t!t riood '-f men. The Versailles treaty is different. For the first time in history the treaty Itself creates an organized body of nations to' see that the agreements at Paris shall be kept inviolate and to provide a means by which nations that would break the treaty can be brought into ull compliance with its terms. Naturally enough, such an arrangement is disliked by the former kaiser. It is hated by the Prussian war lords. 1 1 is loathed by all those who brought on tho world war. They want to be free to break tfle treaty, just as they broke the Beigiun treaty. Their idea of the Prussian superman is not dead. A great war, the most horrible war, is needed, wrote Nietzsche, in order to make nations and men more virile. And all the war lords applauded. The colleges in Germany taught that doclrine. It was encouraged in the schools for 40 years. The masses of the people were misled. That Idea was not shot out of Germany at Sedan and the Argonne. The cherished thought In Germany is to secure a separate peace with America and thereby keep America out of the organization formed by the nations to see that the peace treaty Is faithfully complied with. If that body of nations oan be broken up the way will be opened wide for the Prussian war lords to renew their enterprise of military glory anJ terri torial conquest. They are only biding their time. The German masses are virile "and aggressive. Their power was demonstrated when, almost single handed, they fought the combined civilized world for 51 months, and were on the threshold of victory when America stepped In. Cut out of the Paris treaty the body' of nations organized to enforce its terms, and a new military Germany will begin to arise. Nothing could do more to aid and encourage the great war group in Onlral Kurope. Every pro-German in America knows that, and every pro German In America is for a separate peace with Germany. Every pro-German knows that a separate peace with Germany would take from the Paris peace treaty the nation whose moral influence would be the most powerful of all agencies for enforcing the terms of that treaty. Each knows that it would be a body blow to the organization of nations formed to prevent signatory nations from -iolatlng the treaty. The Literary Digest says that a German-American Citizens' league has been formed to organize German-American voters to prevent the election of Governor Cox. In August the German-American National conference was held in Chicago by the GVrman-Arncrican Citizens' league "whose purposes," ac cording to a correspondent of the Milwaukee Journal (Independent), "are identical with those of the defunct German-American alliance the Committee of Ninety-Six and other German-American organizations." At the head of the resolutions committee at this conference was a pro-German editor named Vlcrick, who protably gave the government more trouble during the war than any other pro-German in America. Here is a part of the resolution framed by Mr. Viprlck and adopted by the conference: In view of certain enlightened statements In Senator Warren CJ. Harding's speech of acceptance and in his subsequent utterances, expressing his unalterable opposition to the Lcatrue of Nations and THE PKRKIDIOUS FOREIGN POLICY OK THR PHESKNT ADMINISTRATION. WK SHALL. U.NLKSS UNKXPKCTKD KVK.NT8 TKAN8PIKE. KEUAHU IT AS OUR DUTY TO SUPPORT THE KK- PL'BLICA.N CANDIDATE, WE TRUST, HOWEVER, THAT MK. HARDING WILL EXPRESS HIMSELF IN UNEQUIVOCAL TERMS ON OTHER SUBJECTS INVOLVING THE HONOR OP OUR COUNTRY. SUCH AS THK PERNICIOUS PEACE PACT AT VERSAILLES AND ST. GERMAIN. WHICH TURNED THE 1PS5:!:1?.,AMNLY ENUNCIATED BV THE PRESIDENT OK THE UNITED STATES INTO 14 SCRAPS OF PAPER. There is no way to misunderstand what this resolution means. It means that the men who opposed American participation in the war anH wh iiiri all they could-to obstruct American endeavors in the war are openlv and flKgTqssivery for Senator Harding. It means that the men who were against Americar when she was in the throos and agonies of the conflict and who did all they could to embarrass and harass America In that supreme crisis are trying now lo undo the great things that American boys and the American people won In that conflict. All these anti-war and pro-German forces are now publicly and openly organizing a political movement to free Germany, through a separate peace won America, rrom the consequences of the war she brought on, and are tryinf'io break up the organization of nations, which is the' only "means by wnicu me terms or trie Pans peace treaty can be enforced. -W a . ... former naiser wuneim aoesn t want those terms enforced. The Prussian war lords do not want those terms enforced. Those who brought on the war which cost America more than 100,000 dead, cost America multiplied thousands of crippled, cost America f2G,OO0,000.OCO in gold, and that piled upon us a war debt that it will take a generation to pay they do not want the Paris peace terms enforced. And, in their own words, the pro-Germans In America .who in war time were in league with the kaiser and his war lord, in peace time "regard it as our duty to support the Republican candidate," Senator Warren G, Harding. . It Is a movement that is unfortunate, because these pro-German leaders misrepresent thousands of German people in America that were for America and against Germany during the war, and whose loyalty to their adopted country was never brought into question. home production to assure the suc cess of the experiment and to render Oregonians confident that Oregon cranberry sauce shall deliciously flank noble Thanksgiving turkeys. Cannot a carload of cranberry pick ers be sent from Portland to save the Clatsop county crop? AT THE STEERING WHEEL A NEW brand of public sentiment is- necessary in the campaign for accident prevention. It is the bentiment that f'ts in the seat of the automobile and holds the steering wheel. It is Ihc sentiment that gn'-s ahead of the accident to .prevent it rather than lament over it. It is the sentiment that sets the seal of condemnation on reckless dis regard of personal safety and the safety of others. Put sentiment for public safety at the steering wheel, and accidents will be one where they are now 100. I FEDERAL RESERVE ACT AND HARDING and dellverlnr them. Besides.

Mra, S. J. Ritchey. COMMENT AND NEWS IN BRIEF 3y Carl Smith, Washington Staff Cor respondent of The Journal News from the scene is to the effect that Poland and Lithuania - have violated their agreement, , reached through the League of Na tions, and resumed hostilities. Just the same, their quarrel will very " likely be settled through the league by holding them to their agreement ,n td territorial boundaries and other .questions. And just the same, the league, with the moral leadership of America, would have lta decisions better respected, and the, world would the sooner pass Into the era of peace on earth. signs, and the songs heard in the vicinity would fall far short of buy ing so murh as a square foot. The parks of main highways would be properly adaptable to motor tour ist camping. They would be places where the public which p-xys for the roads could pause and rtst without fear of irate, abutting owners whose impression of the value of their hold ings comes almost entirely from the improvement at public txpense. Best of all, let generous follow Chairman Benson's own ex ample and give the public parks that will keep their memories green in public gratitude long after they are gone and forgotten, if they do not thus serve the welfare of the present and the future.

With uniform laws and uniform methods, the states of the West can citizens j stand as a unit in their arneal for the help of the government. If the nation permits the use of its credit in sup port of irrigation . securities which have met the approval both of state and federal authority, the actual use of a great fund of the national treas ury will doubtless prove unnecessary. lltn.:i.i , ik is aiu mere is io De a campaign to get the federal government finan cially bark of Western reclamation as a national food production meas uic. me him siep m sucri a cam paign is not to call upon the govern ment but upon the states, that they may agree upon method and' stand without conflicting. voice together. Washington, Sept. 24. Warren G. Harding was not a member of the sen ate when the federal reserve act was passed in 1913, but the men with whom Harding now serves and promises to give heed if elected president were there, and it is interesting to note the atti tude they took. This is especially im portant in view of the activity of some of Harding's banker supporter?, who are quietly agitating for changes that will weaken the control of the govern ment agencies on the country's credit. Boies Penrose was there, and he was opposed to the bill establishing the fed eral reserve, and was paired against it. Henry Cabot Lodge was there, and he took the same course. Ellbu Root was then in the senate, and took a leading part in assailing the measure. Reed Smoot was on hand, and before voting against it declared that a "central bank would solve financial problems for a hundred years to come." Brandegee. Warren and other disciples of normalcy were there and voted against it Tbe measure passed the senate by a vote of 43 to 25, all fhe Democrats and four Republicans favoring it. In the1 house it passed by 208 to 60, all but two Democrats supporting it, together with 34 Republicans, 11 Progressives and one independent. President Wilson, in an address made upon the occasion of the signing of the bill, made mention of the substantial support given by Republican members and said that it could not be called partisan, although it had been made an administration measure. He pronounced it the first of a series of constructive measures by which the party would prove its capacity to serve the country. Trie present Harding crowd, with a few exceptions, stood solidly against the bill, however. They had already started opposing things the president favored, a policy which finds its high est development in the senate, because the senate is farther renpoved from the people than the house, and its method of organization lends itself easily to manipulation. Their system of control was worked out to perfection when the Republicans organized the senate in 1919, and a Re publican senatorial caucus authorized Senator Lodge to appoint a committee 'on committees to handle the committee assignments. By this effectWe method the committee on foreign relations waa stacked against the League of Nations, Penrose was given the chairmanship of the committee on finance, and all the loopholes against interference by the progressives were stopped up. The Lodge, Penrose, Smoot. Warren and Brandegee combination has not dis closed its hand as to just what it means to do with the federal reserve system if it comes into control. It is certain. however, that they hold the machinery for doing their will if they win and Harding becomes president, and their record of opposition is indelibly inscribed. CHALLENGES GOV. HARDING Portland, Sept 20. To the Editor of The Journal. I heard Governor Hard ing of Iowa Saturday night and I cer tainly should, like a few things explained that took place at the meeting. There are too many of these points to be cov ered in this letter. 1 content myself with one or two. Governor Harding stated positively that if we elected Senator Harding. Liberty bonds would go to par over! night with strong emphasis on the "over night" Now. if that is not true. It is a lie, with the emphasis on the "lie." If it is true, who holds the power to place the "Liberties" at par? Could they not exercise This power regardless of who is president? If this be true, then could we not construe that they are the ones responsible for the dis counting of the Liberty bonds? The government did not place the discount on them, and no one doubts that Uncle Sam will pay bis obligations at 100 per cent with interest, regardless of who is elected- this year or any other year. I'm enough of an American to believe that, and there are a hundred million others -just like me. "Elect Senator Harding, and we will give you par fo your bonds," is the same as, "Elect Major McKinley. and we will give you a full dinner pail." I say that only those who have the power to five have the power to withhold. Now, it happened. I held a few Lib erties. all or more, in fact, than I coulu hold, and 1 was compelled to sac rifice them, and the parties who ac cepted the sacrifice are today wearing Harding buttons. Who, I ask. Is it, that discounts the promises of our glorious country? If those bonds were not worth more than what I received for them It would have been no sacrifice to part with them. There are thousands who have made the same sacrifice, and I never heard any one whine over it. as Governor Harding did Saturday night, September 18, 1920. I have heard no mother or father, "who lost more than all the bonds. Liberty or otherwise," whine as did Governor Harding over a few dollars. Personal ly, la don't believe he did lose a single dollar byUncle Sam, and 1 think I could prove that. Edgar E. Coursen says he is a good Republican, in his letter published Sep tember 20. I believe him, and also that lie is a good American citizen. As a good Republican, he says Harding will be elected. As a good American citizen.

J THE JUNKERS SPONSOR Vancouver, Wash., Sept. 20. To the Editor of The Journal. Those who at tribute the existence of plutocrats and junkers to either or both of our political parties are not well informed. Pluto cratic propagation results from national ignorance. Our government exists be cause we create it. It ts a junker gov ernment because our highest ambition is to elect junkers ("successful" busi ness men) to both houses of congress. We have no use for scholars. We esteem greasy pork packers and odoriferous beef embalmers, who have the coin, more than we do the philosophers, logicians, historians and economists who have been graduated from our halls of learning. Junkers result from national ignor ance,' as vermin result from personal filth. If Carnegie, Gould, Rockefeller and Weyerhaeuser own our iron, copper, oil and timber. It was because our congress donated this national wealth to them, and if congress w-as in position to make such donations it was because it was placed in power by a fool people. Truly, "God must love fools ; otherwise he would not have made so many." .1. Harold. Mrand Mrs. S. I.

THE GERMAN-AMERICAN VOTE Portland, Sept. 22 To the Editor of The Journal Light is being shed upon a matter of deep and grave concern to the American people. liy a page advertise ment in the Sunday Oregonlon the Lit erary Ulgest announces the publication In Its next issue of the observations of men' and newspapers of the country con cerning the organization of the German- American vote for Harding ln this elec tion. It has been patent for some time that the German-American voter was in sympathy with the Fatherland in its ef forts to escape the penalties of the ver sailles treaty. Immediately following the primary elections of the past sum mer and spring, Mark Sullivan, the po litical writer for the Oregonian and other newspapers, in discussing the vote being secured at these primary elections by Senator Hiram Johnson referred In one of his articles to tbe vote of Bis marck, Neb., where previously to this year the registration of voters showed registered Democrats to the number or 100 and Republicans two. This year the registration showed J02 Republicans reg istered and no Democrats. Bismarck voted almost unanimously for Senator Johnson. And this from a Republican source. Senator Spencer in 1918 was elected to the senate by the vote of St Louis in the state of Missouri, and Senator McCor mlck was elected to the senate from Illi nois bv the vote of Chicago, both cities being hotbeds of pro-German sentiment during the war.

Ford uses his head for more purposes than a place -n Which to wear his hat Recently he said; "There are. two types of exploiters that need to be watched the exploiters of the products of labor, the men who do not themselves produce but take toll on production, giv ing the producer less than his service is worth and taking from .the consumer much more than the product has cost This breeds dissatisfaction, and the other type of exploiter, equally a menace to the stability of our Institutions, Is on hand to exploit this dissatisfaction. There are those in our country who trade on Industrial unrest, profit by disorder and exploit the trouble of the producers. Their business is to keep men divid ed by suspicion and distrust Use your eyes. Use your common sense. Don't be misled. Spot the men who are al ways shouting about difficulties with out sharing them.' We must see to It that we rid our country of both types of exploiters." , e e We have tried out force and it has failed. Look at the history and pres ent condition of Germany If you believe force is the remedy for our present ills. We may have to throw many of our old beliefs and traditions on the scrap heap, but if we will pin our faith to principles, to high ideals and to character we shall not go far wrong. America, freed from the shackles of racial hatreds, religious animosities and war-breeding prejudices and traditions, can lead the world up out of the dismal morass In which we are now struggling. What is Americanism? Here Is how one of our forward-looking Americans, who will go down. Into his tory as a great man. describes it : "The true Americanism, the only true Americanism, j Is that which puts Amer ic at the front of free nations and re deems the great r 'e which we i.iade the world whe,n we entered the war, which was fought not for the advantage of any single nation' or croup of nations. but for the salvation of all. It la ln this 1 way we shall redeem the sacred blood j that was shed and make America the ' force ahe should be In the counsels of mankind.

HOW IS IT PONE?. -;; From tba Albany Democrat Do the people around your dinner table know how a president is elected? An ordinarily representative group was seated around one such table. Among the group was a school teacher, a Leodge ical editorial writer, an insurance man, a college girl and two elderly women of education and refinement. The teacher, being an honest soul and unashamed, asked how the president wss actually elected, w hmt were tbe duties of the electoral college, how .its personnel was chosen, ad so on; and echo answered. How? Nobody'answered anything. Each had a vague idea, and had read some thing on the subject sometime and some where ; but with one of the livest cam paigns in memory confronting them, not a soul could answer.'. It is probably safe to say that in 75 per cent of tho comfortable homes of America a similar situation would be found. Fewer representative families would be representative of national Ignorance if the ordinary United States historic a were thumbed a lltUe more. Histories make first class paperweights, but their original -purpose was, along -as different line.

Any sasslety that delivers any goods whatever charges six bits a month to keep a-goln'. Even our little M.

In case the farmer that jlnes the Non-p;irtliaris don't git his money's worth in two year, he don't have to put It up ugin. And they wouldn't have to do so t'-ry much to keep liim from belli' gypped by one combine and another outer that murh ever month. The worry and excitement it gives to the politicians and the grafter., big and little, respect able and otherwise.

I Idling How to Can Fall Salmon so It Will Be As (iood as Chinook, The Columbia and Its tributaries are the present highways of a great run of fall salmon. 'By some people they are called fall chlnooks. By others they are known as "dog" sal mon. It is a salmon that possesses almost as great nutritive value as the spring chlnooks. But it lucks cer tain essential appeals to the eye and the taste. It has not the attractive red color of the earlier salmon. Jt has not tbe flavor of the spring chlnooks. People consume only about half the food they eat to meet the demands of the body. Much eating Is done be cause the eye, and the tongue have convinced the stomach that it should partake. But there is a way to make the fall salmon palatable and pleasant In, jars. If it Is placed ln them employ ing the seme, method by which spring Chinook salmon Is canned that Is, placing the lids on loosely and cook ing the salmon in the jars for a period of three or four hours the result is apt to be pale and sometimes "mushy," One Intervening process is necessary to command success. Smoke the salmon first. A home smokehouse. Is easily provided. A bai.cl or a hogshead In the back yard will do. '7 A gunnywtc will do. A bit J heavy canvas wrappeJ around a tripod - of sticks six feel long will do. Vine i. aple. dogwood or green alder freshly cut will con stitute the fuel -Before smoking, rub salt on the salmon, or place it tor a effort Urns in a solution of salt water. When it is smoked, cut Into sixes convenient. tr the Jars, add a little olive. oiL and cook as you would tha spring chlnooks. Then fasten the lids on tightly. When you open the Jars neat-winter you will find that you have transformed the hum ble fall salmon that la so freely of fered now for 10 cents a pound into u dish for an epicure. Try It
