AS BUSINESS GOES AMERICA'S business barometer the reports .of the daily press indicates fairing weather. - Steel plants show j an increase In production. Shoe orders have gains. Vegetables are lower In price, in line with the downward tendency of other foods. The slump in grain and cotton has hit the producers hard, but princi pally in the form of what it is hoped mav Drove onlv temnorarv fncon- " venience. The world needs both products and the growers ultimate profits will be measured by their ability to wait. 1 Financial men say that the money , market is a cause of lessening un easiness, and renewed activity in rub ber, silk, shoe, wool and other forms of manufacture creates a more opti mistic outlookunon the general busi ness situation. f i in the Northwest, the opening of spring will be attended by large road building enterprise and other public Improvement. Home building prom ises to be brisk In Portland, for the number of dwellings Is far behind the needs of the permanent popula tion. The ports of the Columbia have been making trade gains while com petitor ports retrograde, and this fact is being duly advertised in an increasing number of world ports. If Industry can be maintained, if necessary public improvement and building can go on briskly, if united community action can keep the fa cilities of the port in demand, and if a resolute spirit of constructive optimism prevails, the hovering winga of depression will touch Ore gon lightly. A charming companion, a cultured gentleman, a public spirited -citizen, W. G. McPherson will be missed In Portland, the city that he loved and that was so long the scene of his activities. NEWS 100 YEARS AGO WITH what curiosity may some one a hundred years hence gaze upon a copy of The Journal-as it appears today? i : What quaintness and historic' sig nificance may then be discovered in the life now mirrored In news print? A stray copy of the "American Friend," cherished by who knows tow many hands. reveals . the hanges that a century brings. Its ,ate of issue was June 19, 1818. Its (face of publication was Marietta, tIo.

Was slang unknown 100 years ago? Medical . science has . at last dis covered the cause; of deafness.- It is due to blowing the nose. The next trumpet blast in polite society Is to be understood merely aa a signal that someone is" deafening others tempor arily, himself permanently. The ex planation is that air pressure in the nostrils dilates ther eustachian tube, forces mucus into the middle ear and presses the ear drum damag- Ingly outward. But In one way the explanation, while undoubtedly scientific, t does not seem exact. Amateur foghornera must have deaf ened themselves in he past and do not realize the extent of their in iquity in company. WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY 7 A LITTLE girl was killed in Port land last week under the wheels of a heavy automobile truck. She had been, on the curb, but, as the heavy vehicle neared her, suddenly kdarted in the path. Her skull was crushed. In daylight and dark, scores of youngsters play in the streets. They are there in wagons. They are there on roller skates, and they are there on foot. They participate in various games. - In these days of automobiles pub lic thoroughfares are treacherous places for children to frolic. Young ster are not. always cautious. Their safety is frequently forgotten. They do not sense danger as an adult, In instances, they even tempt fate by dodging about In front of machines. Children are -entitled to play grounds. They should have a place to exercise. But that place Is not on a public street, where automobiles are bound to travel, where automo biles must travel. .Especially is that true at night, when a tiny form may slip in the path ; of a heavy motor car unseen In spite of the diligence of a driver. . On the other hand, drivers have a responsibility when children are about. A husky boy is not' static. He does riot sit patiently by. Even it he is on a curb, he may at any time decide to move, and move hur riedly. His movement is as likely as not to be toward the radiator of an automobile. ' Drlvaknow that, and the burden of r divisibility is theirs if they are not prepared to avoid . an accident. Children do not protect them selves. They are not mature. But they are assuredly entitled to pro tection and that protection can only come from parents and cautious drivers. " " ' James Dryden of O. A. C, who de veloped the 300-egg hen and there by made Oregon known around the world, is o use his recently granted year's leave of absence In poultry investigation throughout America and in writing articles to be published in the Country Gentleman. His work at O. A. C. has, in its results for wealth making in Oregon, been of more value to the state than many times what the'whole institution has cost in all time. TILLAMOOK LIGHT MOTION pictures recently taken , on the Oregon coast showed the lonely rock and tower of Tillamook Light. The boom which swings men and freight from the water to the rock and from the rock to the water was brought into action. The re volving shaft of light .with its cer tain reappearance "at five-second in tervals became a part of the picture. Lower down in clefts of the precipi tous monolith, the foaming waves were dashing. ., It was a' ruggedly picturesque scener but it left in the viewer's mind a question, i Why couldn't the restless power of the battering waves be utilized by some efficient devicj to furnish the energy needed for the boom and the light and even j the light itself. In the flow and eBb of the tide are unmeasured millions . of horse power. Why should it be necessary to carry fuel laboriously and ex pensively from the shore when the power is there ceaselessly wasting It self in foam? i i; Some day,, the genius of man may harness the tides aa they ebb and flow. May the future not hold in store for those who live along the oceans, power and heat and light too abundant to be monopolized, and so low in cost as to be within the reach of all? . ' . DEFUNCT LIB WAS the head of a prosperous A stock t enterprise. " In the days of-bigjnoney and easy spending the profitwere large. The business, like an inflated balloon, was expanded to near the breaking point, The president was fond of a beau tiful girl. He purchased two auto mobiles for her in one day. She wore a gold ring with diamond set ting, a diamond pin, a lavalliere of platinum .( set with numerous dia monds. She had a diamond cluster ring, a. diamond bracelet, a sedan,, a roadster, a saddle horse, cases of silk underwear and negligee, a Si berian squirrel coat, scarf and cap, and plenty of money to squander. AH were gifts from her generous ad mirer, the president; of the newly established stock corporation. The gifts continued to pour in on the girl. But in the general process of deflation in the country and the accompanying financial stringency, the stock enterprise tottered. ? The surplus had been used by the presi dent in his jazz spending. All available money had been em ployed to purchase automobiles, dia monds, candies, coats and silks. As in the case of many corporations that go to ,the wall, the vitals had been eaten out by the Jazz cancer, Only the hulk of the institution re mained in the stock scheme, and when the pressure was applied, the hulk, the president and the jazz life all collapsed like paper. ' The bal loon was pricked, the little girl will go back to her woolens and the head of the corporation, perhaps, to the penitentiary. A little thrift in the days of pros perity in the place of jazz would have saved the institution. A few dollars in the bank instead of in the air would have maintained a foun dation b&Uily needed in the business in the time of stress. , A little poise in the use of funds would have provided a patch when the ship suffered a leak. B"ut the money was not there. Jazz got it. MAYBE THE MORGUE ' THE bootleg business In Portland has been ' merry. . The bootleg ger's work has been easy, his sales numerous and his profits large. He has'purchased a little alcohol Then he has procured a little "oil of Scotch" for the taste, and a little caramel for coloring. Out of his little supply has come a lot of so-called whiskey, "aged In the wood." Fake labels have been applied and the gullible got their "whiskey" for a fancy price.' The purchaset: thought he had ex cellent whiskey. The difference was not discovered until the product had been sampled. Then, perhaps, the buyer had only a severe headache Or, perhaps, tie went to the hospital. Or, maybe he was received at the morgue. The alcohol for a case of such liquor cost the bootlegger $7. The other ingredients and labels costprac tically nothing. But the purchaser paid in the neighborhood of $200 for the case. He also suffered the pain arid paid' the hospital bill. Who can deny that we are born every minute? THE AUDITORIUM BEFORE a group of business men at the Chamber of Com merce last Thursday, John E. Miller. superintendent of exhibits for the International Mining convention, which' is to be held in Portland next April, made a comment which de serves repetition. Mr. Miller has ar ranged exhibits for mining conven tions in most of the large cities of the United States.

WHAT CHILDREN BECOME THE bill which Mrs- Swanton of the Humane society prepared and which State Senator John Gill has introduced in the Oregon legis lature provides simply that half an hour a week shall be employed by the public schools of the state in teaching children to be humane and Just to animals. Washington! and California allot each an hour a week of public in struction to the subject. Numerous states of the East and of the Middle West teach kindness as a desirable routine. .... .' ; i Children are often more thought less than cruel when they i throw stones at birds and injure pets. They would, in most Instances;, be slow to inflict torture or hurt if" ' they knew that the victims of their ca price suffer" as they would : suffer if the aVuser became the abused. Children who" are cruel to animals are apt to become cruel to other children. They , are equally apt to become men and women In ;' whom cruelty and hate are ruling motives., KEEPING JUSTICE BLINDFOLDED Berger Case Occasions Editorial Alicn ment With Energy in It Takerf Wind Out of Socialist Sails, Some Say Others Complain ; oi -judicial itecalL" -l "Daily Editorial DieeSt .i; (Conolidted Presa Ajsociation) . iiw supreme court decision which threw out the Berger case because, an affidavit of prejudice had- been filed against Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lan dis, who presided, split press opinion as weu as me court itself. The majority of writers, it is true, feel that the steo was a triumphant answer to the Socialist cnarge or unfairness of "capitalistic in stituUons," but there are those who mm plain that annulling a judge's decision on me cnarge or prejudice puts the judi' clary on a level with talesmen and weak ens not only respect for the law but its power as well. e e A number of newspapers, disagreeing uu we supreme court s decision, de ciare that no man can be free from prejudice. "All we can ask," says the Chicago Post (Ind.) "Is that it be on th right side. This being so, we hate to see even an implied rebuke, of a man whose prejudice. If any, is on the side of his country and against those giving aid and comfort to the pnpmv ' Th. Flint (Mich.)

Expressing niw opinion vnat most people will view uie decision wiut' -utter amazement,' the Tulsa Tribune Kem.) takes it as "i reouxe of a -patriot" and the El Paso imes iivem.j after quoting Justice Mc Reynolds' dissentine "To carry Justice MaReynolds' reasoning a on xartner, it migbt be -held that no patriotic judge could preside in the trial of a person accused of destroying the institutions of the United States that is. it he had ever expressed these pa tflotic opinions as Judge Landis did." From the aspect of its legal signifP cunce many view- the decision "with alarm." It will result in "legal delay," says tne Janesville (Wis.) Gazette titep.), which., it observes, "is the founda tion cause of lynchlngs." It is "unfoi tunate," asserts the Columbus. rinat (Ind.). for It tends "to weaken the re spect ror tne law and its methods of procedure." With this precedent before them the Worcester Gazette (Ind.) fears tnat many criminals will feel encour aged to mttack the fitness of the judge who happens to preside." Thus, though e. pane allegation or prejudice may uiaquaiuy a rederal judge under the law, the Lynchburg News (Dem.) makes the statement, which is typical of many of its contemporaries, that "nevertheless it appears to run counter to common sense, ror "it is calculated to interfere witn prompt dispatch of criminal cm is "plainly susceptible of buses," and invites "obstructive tactics." It is only a step from this attitude, the Reno Ga zette (Rep.) beeves; to subjecting the judge "to examination by the defend ant s attorney, as to whether he could, by ntquainiancB, relationship or outside fa miliarity with the facts, be by any cnance predisposed personally against wi man over wnose trial he is to pre side." On the Other hand there la n rimni. feeling among many editorial writers war. tne supreme court acted wisely. It va, inneeo, "a wonoerrul object lesson, says the Minneapolis Journal (Ind. Rep.) tor it proved conclusively that the united estates government believes in a square aeai to each and every citizen," and thus, as the Syracuse Herald Ind.) remarks, "refuted" the Socialist theory . v. n . . . , . . . ""r judicial system aoea not safe guard' this principle. The "platform of tne raaicais, the Albany Times Union declares, built on the contention!

To this the Florida Times Union (Dem.) agrees. .It remarks rurther: "Speaking generally, we can see but one reason hv o inr. objected to as prejudiced, would insist on sitting on a case instead of getting another, conceded to be unnreluriiceri tr. f" 111 "s piace. This is the fact that he is prejudiced and intends to convict the accused if possible.

To "the Editor of The Journal Agriculture in Oregon, as elsewhere, is In distress. Farm mort gages in Aregon have increased from 35.7 per cent 10 years ago to 49.7 per cent at the present time indicating that agriculture haa been' a losing business during that -period. Farmers are seek' inr relief in everv wav possible and are now asking the passage' oi the co operative marketing bill. They are also intensely, interested in securing the ap- propriation asked of the ways , and means' committee for ' the. purpose of continuing experiment station work and extension service work, both of whieh are vitally necessary to the future of agriculture in the state. They want the full sum asked because it Is reasonable and it is needed, and they want it ap propriated frorn, the general funds and not taken from the millage tax which provides for resident instruction at the O. A. C, Out of every $100 which our govern ment spends annually, only 30, cents is spent for scientific research .. In agricul ture. England, since the war; has ap propriated 35,000,000 for scientific re search alone ; France appropriated in 1920 more than $29,000,000 , for regular agricultural work, or 35,000,000 more than twice as much as the United States appropriated for like service. Tha farm er feeds everybody. . Appropriations are not for his benefit alone, but for the benefit of all. An appropriatibn is be ing asked of $100,000 for the purpose of attracting tourist travel. This will benefit directly the cities and -towns more than it will the farmer and Is Just about equal to the appropriation asked for experiment station and extensiop service work. Will the farmers get it? If not, why not? How will the vote stand oh the proposition? How does the Multnomah county delegation, which embraces the" city of Portland, stand? It would be exceedingly gratifying to us to see the people and press of Port land active In behalf of the 'farmer on these measures. George A. Mansfield, Pres., Oregon State Farm Bureau BELIEVES WITH MAYOR BAKER That Private Citizens Should Attend "Free Speech" Meetings "in Force.' . Portland, Feb. 18. To the Editor of The Journal In today's Oregonlan note that Beryl A. Green has written to District Attorney Evans requesting prosecution of Mayor George L Baker for statements made before a patriotic meeting held by Scout Young Camp No. 2, United Spanish War Veterans, the night of February 15, at Library hall I also note, that Mr. Evans has not con sidered the mayor has violated the law of syndicalism in making the statements credited to him It is time for men who have the inter est of our country at heart to wake up to the fact that there is a class of people at large in the United States who feel the' broad liberties of this country give them license to criticize and con demn any man or woman who demands these liberties be retained ; who feel the unbiased passions of Europe should be fostered here ; that the unbridled orgies of devastated Russia should be released in a country where liberty is not merely a name; that free speech granted under the constitution- of the United States means ; a leeway 'to besmirch all that thousands of men and women have will ingly sacrificed their lives to maintain. That -Mayor Baker did advocate enough loyal Americans to attend some oi tnese so-caiiea Tree speecn gather ings In sufficient force to see that proper observance is made to all we hold sacred In our national life, meets with my entire approval. If loud-mouthed defamers of our laws and customs are going to claim exemption for-thteir utterances under the same laws they seek to tear down, it is time for men who have voluntarily of fered their lives to preserve these laws abroad to see they are respected at home. ! I cannot speak for Scout Young Camp No. 2, United Spanish War Veterans, as a body, ror there has been no session of the, camp to lay this matter before them, but speaking as commander, I. feel sure that the camp Vill bear me out ir saying that Mayor Baker has our loyal support and backing: that his untlrinsr errorts for better Americanism in otir city his unfailing endeavor to help those who returned from the late war to a place of self-support, as well . aa the work he did during the war, de serves more than this kind Of attack. It might be a wise plan for those who favor these "soviet" plans to seek the country in which they are in vogue, be cause it is a safe bet that, Portland cop- tains a very large number of men af.J women who wHl stand about so much from those who don't "like our laws. ! R. A. Sawyer, Commander. DENOUNCES COSMETICS And Rebukes One Who Alleged Western t women iseea xnem. Portland, Feb. 19. To the Editor of The Journal Having noted discussions concerning Slanderous remarks about some of our Western women, made some weeks: ago by an agent of an Eastern company that manufactures cosmetics. wish to make a few suggestions in defense of our Western women, whose natural beauty is such that they do not need to hide it behind any kind, of mud.' Among the natives of the coun try in wiich I was born I. have seen both sexes spot and stripe their whole bodies with different colored muds. It was comical to see those dusky maidens who thought the more fantastic they could I spot and stripe their faces the prettier they were. Most of. the-cos metics of today are the same kfhd of mud, only doctored a little, and those who use them show a little different taste artistically, as to the landscapes they paint on their faces. But having seen both in. the height of their imag inary j glory I cannot say which looks the better. Whenever I see any woman white, black or yellow smeared with paint I I feel like telling her to go wash her -face. . For it is not womanly beauty, because it is not a. part of the natural woman, the crowning effort .of God's! creative, beauty-making mind. But no drugs nor cosmetics can produce this effect, though if women will lay aside some of the brain shriveling liter ature .of fiction, and instead read and study! well literature along the lines of physical culture, they may attain it.. Ulysses. Curious Bits of Information Gleaned From Curious Places It was only after the fall of Constan tinople in 1453 that Holland became such gay land of flowers as it now. is. Many Dutchmen went to the East dur ing the years of the great crusades, and those of them who loved beautiful things brought seeds with them,. When these were planted in the rich soil of Holland such wondrous flowers appeared as had never before t been seen in that country.

The new Burnslde street bridge. It believes, should be built in 1923. In 1927 the construction of a new high level bridge connecting the west side with the St. Johns suburb is advocated. . . . The new Morrison street bridge is dated by the- comm!lon for 1930. More remote are th proposals for a new bridge between Sfiuiwll and Fourteenth streets in - 1935, and a new bridge connecting Division and Sheridan .streets In 1940. The cost of the maintenance of the Sellwood ferry during 1920, accord ing to the accounting of the commis sion., was 820,000. Capitalized at 6 per cent, this amount, received an nually, would pay - the interest and retire $246,000 in bonds for the new Sellwood bridge In 40 years. This amount, it Is estimated, would build a new high level fixed span at Sell wood. -' . The commission advocates the ele vation Of alt bridge approaches over Front street on the west side, .and over Water, East First and East Second streets on the east aide of the Willamette. The elevation of the approaches would end the Interrup tion from railroad 'grade crossings and . waterfront hauling. The relo cation of the Fourth street and Ore gon Electric lines on Front street, with the .elevation of the bridge ap proaches, would end the tangling of bridge, rail and heavy traffic. .
