Tea shouid hae heard him speak at what be lored : af the tent pitched beside the taurine water; of the (tan overhead at night; of the blest return of morning, the peep of day over the moon, the awaking birds among the birches; how be abhorred the long winter shot in cities; and with what delight, at the return of the spring, he once more pitched his camp in the tiring out of doors. Bae-urt Louis Stevenson. BORAH AS COMMISSIONER IP SENATOR BORAH'S friends succeed in securing his appoint ment as a member of the American commission on disarmament the chances for success of the confer ence will be very considerably mini mised. Senator Borah should not be a member of the commission. Nor should Hiram Johnson be a mem ber. Nor Senator Moses, Senator Brandegee or Senator Poindexter. Those men believe, or at least they believed a year ago or said they believed, that America should accept no responsibilities whatever in world affairs. They talked of an isolated America, which, events have proved, cannot be. They insisted that Amer ica should desert the allies and the treaty of Versailles. They opposed a plan for peace and disarmament that every nation of size except Rus sia, Turkey and Mexico accepted and joined. They stood against the plan that the conference at Washington is expected to put into effect. . True, Senator Borah is the father of the disarmament resolution. He apparently believes in the principle of disarmament. He is the only one Of the coterie of treaty wreckers that has offered any sort of substitute for the structure they destroyed. He made a gallant and able fight for his resolution. For it he is entitled to the utmost credit and commenda tion. But his. beliefs on the means to disarmament and the responsibilities that nations will be compelled to assume for any effective agreement ' to that end, would make his ap pointment as an American commis sioner undesirable and highly peril ous. . Direct service to Portland by the Northern Pacific and Great Northern over the lines of the S. P. & S. is a welcome prospect, but we would also like to see the S. P. & S. main tained as an entity for its own bust new and without disturbing its head quarters and employes in Portland LOWER BROADWAY 'HERB is no desire on the part of the city council and probably not oa the part of anyone else inter acted in traffic conditions in Port lead to Injure the business of auto mobile dealers on lower Broadway Portland wants her businesses and sue wants in em to oe prosperous businesses. To that end she is willing always to make concessions; But there is another and greater consideration in approaching the new traffic regulations. That con sideration deals with whether or not the traveling public is to be permit ted to get to work inthe mornings. home in the evenings and about the city during tha day. Broadway is one of the heavy traf fie arteries of Portland. It is the biggest and moat direct approach to the Broadway bridge. Across that bridge a great portion of Northeast Portland travels twice a day. Oa aceasibility of the bridge depends their convenience. Park street is so narrow that its traffic loads are sadly limited. Watt s oa. a Park is DO larger. Sixth street is small sad carries heavy traffic bur dens in the vehicles, many of them trucks, traveling to sad from the Union station. Lower Fifth street is not desirable from the roadway and streetcar standpoints for motor travel. On Broadway, then, must fall the burden of the tremendous crowds flowing- across the Broadway bridge. It is, therefore, not only de sirable bnt pertinently essential that traffic be not delayed on that thor oughfare. Double parking is the enemy of a free flow of traffic With a two hour parkinc limit, double parking will be tremendously increased over a street with a 30 minute parking limit. And with cars double parked there can be no expeditious traffic flow on Broadway or any other street. Perhaps a way can be found to avoid hardship on the automobile dealers. Maybe there is a way in which the interests of the public and the business men can both be fully protected. But if there is no escape, if conditions force a conflict of the interests of the business men and half the east side of the city, the business men should expect to give way. Portland likes the Elks and the Elks like Portland. Next week the best people on earth will be in the best city on earth, and if anything exceeds the pleasure of the visitors in Portland's hospitality it will be Portland's pleasure in being hos pitable to the delegates of the great organization whose national con vention we hope for in 1924. TRAVELING IN THE DARK rpHAT in some cases in Oregon. a guide boards directing strangers to make detours are left displayed after the road is opened to traffic, is the statement of a tourist who has been journeying through Oregon. If there is an occasion whep pro fanity is excusable, 'It ig when a tourist makes a trip over a rough and rutted detour, only to learn that the main highway is in perfect order. There may bo mothers-in-law who loathe their sons-in-law, but no mother-in-law would consign her hated son-in-law to an experience like that. Absence of signs at road crossings is likewise an atrocious disregard of public policy. When a wayfarer meets three roads, any One of which seems likely to be the right one, and when, he drives along it several miles only to find that it is the wrong one; and when, after retrac ing his steps, he takes a second one of the three to meet with the same experience, his digestion becomes bad, and his opinion of Oregon as disordered as his digestion. And when a signboard says it is ten miles to Podunk, and after trav eling five miles he comes face to face with another signboard that says ten miles to Podunk, the mild est mannered wanderer is in near mood to murder. And when he en counters such signboards after being two or three times on -the wrong road around a belated mealtime, he is dangerous, and if his wife is along, she knows it. All travelers cannot be as even tempered as two journeying toward Joytown. A guide board said 'SJoy town Ten Miles," and after they had gone a considerable distance they came face to face with another 'Joytown Ten Miles." They Jaunted on a -few miles more and encountered third sign which said "Joytown Ten Miles," and at that, one of the wayfarers quietly remarked 'Well, thank God, we are holding our own." To the hundreds who are journey ing by car through Oregon for the first time, guideboards truthful guideboards at every road crossing are almost as welcome as are the good roads. They help the traveler study local geography on the run. Some of the American profiteers who went to spend war fortunes abroad complain of profiteer prices in Paris. Their evidence will be re ceived without dissent. They ought to be authorities on the subject. THE OWL'S REPRIEVE Tf7HEN other birds have finished ww- their veaner srtnra and ttinlrari their heads within their wings the screech owl may still continue his u halations. The weird hooting of the great horned owl, sounding at times like the distant call of the long trains of the night, will not be disturbed. The owl is reprieved from sen tence of death. The Jury of recom mendation is the committee of the John Burroughs club. The Judge is President Harding, who appointed the committee. Before the verdict was filed, however, the Jurors in vestigated the owl's record as a de stroyer. They balanced his can nibalism against his consumption of injurious insects and rodents. They compared his forays with those of the sly old crow, and the silent winged hawk. They came back to the president with the statement: Can that inexorable law of nature, "the survival of the fittest," which has been since the world began, be broken by us who owe so much to it, even unto our very existence? If wo destroy the teatnerea murderer we must also pa sentence on the parasitic vine which en circles and saps the life from the sturdy forest tree. Nav. it la not far as la as these things, if ft were" God's will they .nouia perish, it would be unnecessary for us to pit our puny selves against the wjunueBs nocks o'er our nation. xae reasoning of the committee if followed to Us ultimate rnnrlMaoa might exempt the potato hug from poison or a paddle oa the vines. It might lift the death sentence from the eodlin moth and withdraw the Organization for destruction of tree borers. But the owl represents more to humanity than a balance between economy and destruction. He inspired these lines: wise old owl sat in an oak, " The more he heard the less he a poke. The more he listened the more he heard ; Why can't we be like that wise old bird? Latest reports indicate that the "mystery ship" of the Atlantic is a booze bummer and a hooch hound. This shrouds in deeper mystery than ever the disappearance of vessels upon the Atlantic, unless somebody appears .to testify that the peculiar brand of moonshine vended by the night prowler of the seas caused the crews to leap overboard or chop holes in the hulls. TOO MUCH SPEED HPHE inauguration of "Too Much Speed" week in Portland is excellent undertaking. It will re mind motorists of a hazard that is too often forgotten. Speed is not the only cause of au tomobile accidents. But it is a fro quent cause, and in speed collisions the results are invariably serious. And frequently smashups that are attributed to other traffic violations are in reality speed collisions. Many a motorist fails to give right of way because he Is traveling at ' Ty " " ' i excessive speed. He skids because there is too much speed. He cuts corners that would not otherwise be cut were his speed leas. He passes other vehicles at intersections and streetcars while discharging passen gers because his speed renders a stop impossible. a itw, -rw - I erate speed and fixed his eyes on the roadway ahead there would be wv- .nAn.MKn. bodies and fractured skulls. n,, .h. r o Binn anri T!oV week also for pedestrians. Why not : .v.- . j f tvi.t v.aw .nn rl.v on foot that they too are every day transgressing the rules of safety? The ports of Portland and Astoria challenge the world to produce a vessel that cannot pass into the Co lumbia harbor entrance with room to spare under her keel.

BRIDGING THE BAY TT IS quite evident that San Fran t;t&t:u is duruL at numnr npr npm foot foremost. Ralph Mod jeski and a John V. Davies. bridge engineer, made their long-awaited report on the possibility of bridging San Fran - Cisco bay a few days ago. . In the reports of the San Fran- Cisco papers the 'bridge plan, with it. naS---r-va fnr -a. -ia. was blazoned most prominently. One learned there would be 3500 feet of submarine tube, 11,600 feet i a . a it , "v sa-aa, vi "o u w tie ana iz,ooo ieet or nil or moie. One learned that this single projec tion across the bay of a street would eliminate the necessity for the many and picturesque ferries that no throng the San Francisco estuary. But one read through many columns before discovering, either in head line or text, that the cost would so- proximate $40,000,000. Stnl more -wss extended reading matter Intervened before it became apparent that the fixed charges would be $2,400,000 a year; that operation, maintenance, depreciation and insurance would iiiit tfisn aaa -t..nt .tinw.nno for . .

There are three main stations the North western, the Union and the Lav8ai!e. Of the three the Northwestern Is by far the best. The station was built In 1911 and. together with approachea tracks and so forth, cost 1:4.000,006. It is what is known as a stub-end station, sad trains must back in or out. The number of tracks in the Northwestern station is 16. The num ber of trains entering the station is 155 and the same number leave dally. The number of passengers handled dally is approximately 50.000. The else of the main waiting room is XS.OM square feet, the concourse 17.000 square feet and the grand lobby 21, 600 square feet. As Is common with the stab-end stattona the ireaas to the tracks is on the surface. The umbrella sheds are of varying lengths, from 700 to 606 feet. The sheds are not of the true umbrella type but of the type known as the Bush trains! on These Bush train aheds cover an area of 6 1 acres. This typo of shed is -Ur to the umbrella type, but affords some -heater to the trains as well as the people on Use platforms. There Is left be tween the sheds s small slot through which steam and smoke from the en gines escape. "The other stations In Chicago are old and out of date. "Thsrs is a new station project that is of some interest. This sta tion will be called the New Union station and it win be utilised by the rasaaajlisiiis the Burlington, the Milwaukee and the Alton railroads. It will be modern and the total cost, liiJiatasg building, tracks sad so forth, will be $65,000,000. Tka popu lation of Chicago la 16-0 was 1.701. 160," (To Be Coatlossd.) waera.
