REED AND MR. tAWES .' . i v ' V , r SENATOR REED of Missouri dis- . likes the plan 'whereby Charles GJ Dawes is given power to . reduce -expenses in the administration at Washington. He denounces It as v Itbpudent and a deflance-of the cori j gTessional power.' i t .' It would seem vtq i the laymen , though of course he may be mistaken: 3out matters legal and govern - rnentaJ, and especially congressional - f-that tha plan to reduce expenses la the .departments and put them on business basis Is entirely legal, not .necessarily a usurpation of congres- icJonal power, and certainly purpose- . ol and commendable. Of course, , tfiings may not be done at Washing- tin Just as they are done in the ordl t" nary business enterprises of the day ' -e-some public officials apparently J hjave patents on their way of doing , Gisiness and attempts to change Processes at Washington whereby the - iublic4s to benefit are frequently op- rBsed. Senator Reed knows some thing about the opposition to thej Ajeagus of Nations and 'the udgk 1 ltan, and. of course. Senator Reed . pay". believe that the mere fact that te public Is already groastnr tmrfer fixes should have no weight in 'the ajreraises. He thinks congress should do the paring of expenses.

Probably-vyou thlnlt; that disbursing- hundreds of thousands of dollars of slush moey through use of Brother 1 Johhsheck book In the corruption of voters is very wrong-. Probably you think that violating the Michigan law and the United States law against corrupt us of money in elections Is Just as reprehensible as violating the law by, robbing . the United States mails or the law against disgusting; booze parties. The trouble Is that you are old fashioned. You see Truman ' and Brother John .are in our set, some what exclusive, so to speak. There is no smell of the barnyard or the slop barrel on them. " And you see Truman Is a financier. Wasn't he director pf the Big Six lim ited and president-of the Under ground Stlck-'Em-Vp ad the head and' front of divers big enterprises? Can a big corporation head do wrong? Certainly not. The court and Jury that .tried to' send him to the. penitentiary for using! Brother John's check book in the election were crasy. Besides, what's the law and the constitution among friends? What's a few fool' laws Against corruption in elections in comparison with a party majority in the senate ? What's the need of being particular about a man's past or his use of Brother John's check book. for membership in the United States senate, anyway? Some people seem to think that the senate is a Purity League or a Society for Promoting Decency in Elections. Anyway, what's the good of money if you cannot use it in elections, es pecially when you can do it through Brother John's bank account? Isn't it a good thing to give the voters of Michigan a chance to turn an honest penny once in a while when a cam paign is pn? Weren't Brother. Tru man and Brother John slaving for the "common people" when their campaign committee was slipping all that money into the horny hands of the sons of toil all over Michigan? The Jury and the federal court in Michigan that sentenced Brother Truman .to the penitentiary ought to be recalled. POLICING THE POLICE STATION THE city council has adopted a fer tile field , for investigation in questioning" costs, the necessity "for costs, and what comes from expendi tures in the police department., With only 12 men of the day relief for pa trol work and with the -cost of the. department approximately . s double what it was three years ago, it Is not only the right of th council, but the duty of that body, to examine where the money goes and what Is given In return. There are plenty of men down at Second and Oak to man the desks. But there is a communication on file with the city council from the head of that department ask'ing for 60 additional men. to do police work. Why not take some of the policemen from the police station and permit them to do the work for which they are paid? Why not place clerks in 5lerks' jobs, and policemen in police men's jobs, instead of trying to make clerks out' of policemen? Why not employ mechanics to do mechanics' work, carpenters to do carpenters' work, stenographers to do stenog raphers' work, and let policemen do policemen's work? There are 400 policemen and policewomen em ployed by the city, and there are 13 men to patrol beats during the day time. There are certain special squads in he police department doing, excel lent work. And there are special squads with men and men and men. But (hey are all specialists, and few common, ordinary, everyday, un spe cialized police.1 v Perhaps' the special ists are the latest wrinkle In police circles; perhaps they are the thing; perhaps they should all be specialists, but it is quite certain that policemen should be policemen of some kind, and not specialists in polio clerk ing, police accounting and .police or namentation at the police station. At Big Rapids, Michigan. Judge Dresscher rented a theater, called a mass meeting of mothers, and read me not act to mem.' He' "was wrought up over the large number 6f "Bhotgun" marriages he has been called upon to-, perform, in . recent months, and he,proceeded to tell .the mothers that they were largely re sponsible, for the shame of their eons and daughters. He declared that the immorality is epidemic and an prdpriately declared that with youths roaming the streets at all hours of uieK night, the American home f is being undermined. , V'-vw THE INSTIGATORS rpHERE is a phase of the sordid Ar- buckle case largely ignored by inquisitors, legal and otherwise,- but which has not been lost to sight by a Myrtle Point; reader of .The Journal Booze, was at the bottom of the af- lair, remarks H.

' This comment comes . from a re mote' point In ,Oregon;..But In places large and small there is a growing wonder- in the minds .of people who believe In Iaw enforcement. They cannot understand why officials ob ligated by oath are apparently so lax in , enforcing .the prohibition . law. They cannot understand why penal? ties are so light and how bootleggers can operate so openly. They wonder, why churches, organ ized bodies of ministers and anti booze societies do not summon offi cers of law;: enforcement into 'a lead ership which shall purge the country of an Illicit traffic. .- Has the prohibition law broken down? - .a . . From the American Mining con gress comes the statement that "the present known "reserves of high-grade iron ore, -Vbased upon the constantly expanding requirements of the steel industry,- will be exhausted m 20 years." fThe developers of iron mines in-Columbia county, near Scappoose, recently assured the people of Port land, that high-grade iron ore, 1. e., ore which is more than half iron, is to be round in that district in suffi cient quantity to meet , the needs of Portland's Industry for 100 years. Here's hoping that the latter state ment is true and that, being true, neither the steel trust nor the trans continental railroads succeed in sti fling production. A LIFE FOR FIVE DOLLARS 6TjiOR a41 the crimes of my life I - have not realised "15." That is the testimony of a 76-year-old man on the occasion of his latest arrest for tbe-ft- B:e confesses ' a criminal ca reer of 59 years. Half of it he has spent in .'prison. He now faces another term which indicates his probable death behind the gray walls of a penitentiary. And in all his criminal operations, extending over a period of 59 years, he has "not realized $5." The little family with which he started out in life are scattered and gone. Though he still lives the chil dren have buried the name f their sire. The- mother who held him oh her knee and believed in' Mm to the last.was hurried to Jjerigrave'by "his .wayward ways of liyingHls brothers and sisters, long ago banished from their thoughts as best they could the recollections of him who was . their favored playmate in." childhood. The statement of the aged criminal should be of interest to those young men who in recefct years have taken up a life of criminality. Their opera tions will het-hem but little. They will go through- life, perhaps meet death, in penitentiary as this aged Criminal ' promises to do. lAnd be sold "his life for a paltry $5. -THE SUPER-INVESTMENT REALIZING that the diff er ene. btvin an Tclrfmr '-rv on Igorrote and an average American is mainly a matter of education, ear nest men and women in Oregon are striving to raise by contribution money for wiping out a deficit and further - endowing Pacific university. The Eskimo eats blubber, lives in dirt and stench as he 'did 1000 years ago. The Igorrote has his dog soup for i delicacy and the leaner and bonier the dog, according to his idea, the better the soup. Birth, racial in stincts and environment have some thing to do with the ideals of both; but an education that would give them vision of a life with more of living and scope and usefulness in It would lift both out of their squalor. r When' you give money to a Chris tian college you make an investment in human welfare. The output of such an institution under all ordinary circumstances becomes a pillar in the social order for the advancement of civilization, for the safety and greater usefulness of life and for the protec tlon of your property. Every nation in the world Is in a near crisis. Civilization is strained to, the breaking point. Cabinets, parliaments and congresses, facing colossal war debts, are striving to contrive ways for collecting money to pay, those debts without letting their people know the full limit of-j the sums that are being levied. There never' was a time in the world when there was so much need for people to be trained through education to be able to think. If you contribute a few dollars or many dollars "to' such institutions as Pa cific university, it will go into hands that klhow the' value "of money and how and where to place It to give you the most in standard citizenship.

Mr. Kenyon , is one of the few big men in the senate, and any appointment that would remove the capable senator to a burial ground in Iowa would be an appointment detrimental to the best interests of the nation. ' It is not unlikely that the proffer of the Iowa' judgeship was brought about by interests that would like to see Senator Kenyon absent from his seat in the upper house jot congress. pUYING OUK'AN f .' ARCHDUKE , American Syndicate's Venture in Buy ing; Up the Salvage of the House of Hapsburg Proves an Attractive Theme to American Editors, Who See Trouble in It for All Con- cerned, and Little Besides Romantic Truly j, but" Dan gerous in Every Aspect. ' ! Daily Editorial Digest (Consolidated Press Aasoejation) Some of the ingredients of a best seller romance, adventure, a gambling chance Oh a "great killing," Yankee enterprise and international complica tions are found by our editorial writers in, the story of the sale of immensely valuerble Hapsburg holdings in Austria Hungary to a syndicate of American business men. For romance they point toi the fact that through the fortunes of war vast imperial estates that for six centuries have been held by divine right bow to the might of the American dollar. The adventure lies in the fight to secure title by contesting the- claim to possession which will be made by the countries embracing the estates, claims which they will hold -are secured by treaty, making it, as one writer puts it, "the greatest international gamble since the sale of French rjghts in the Panama canal." , But from the viewpoint of many editors the story is not all romance. Rather it involves social and political aspects that make the venture objection able. They see danger in -American exploitation of the great industries ac quired, thus increasing alien ownership in countries which are striving to abolish absenteeism and to break up enormous industrial holdings. Political ly it Contains serious possibilities which these writers 'warn against, and they insist that in the struggle for possession which the purchasing syndicate will make the principle of caveat emptor must apply, since the United States can not be palled upon to guarantee,' their investment. Purchase of "the possessions of one of the Austrian archdulres" by wealthy Americans appeals to the Ithaca Journal News (Ind.) as "a striking indication of the way the world 1s being turned topsy-turvy," since, as the Kansas City Journal (Rep) says, "it is difficult, to Imagine" the royal Hapsburg line .in the days of its glory "bargaining with' a group" of American capitalists over what they believed to be theirs by the. right of divine Inheritance." Now, howftVer, the Journal suggests, they seem to have awakened to the old American adage. "Money talks." Amer ican millionaires, the New York Globe (Ind.) remarks, "are getting more and more on terms of equality with Euro pean, royalty," even to the extent, the Boston Globe (Ind.) adds,' of "getting very chummy with the Hapsburgs" ; but, the New York paper continues, while "the- incident puts the stock of royalty a- little lower than ever before," it does not "particularly raise the stock of the American millionaire," since if he wins "he is a .successful gambler," if he loses he "will still seem-a little like the Archduke Frederick." .' " ; -But with all Its romantic appeal, the venture presents legal obstacles that make it a risk, for, as the New London (Conn.) Day .(Rep.) points out, "It is doubtful if authority exists which can compel these nations to part with prop erty they wish, for'.- themselves." This phase of the case the Indianapolis Star (Ind. Rep.) gives thus: "A large part of the property has been confiscated by" the governments which have arisen on the ruins of the Austro-Hungarian empire., and before the syndicate can profit by its purchase it must prove that confiscation of the property was a vio lation of the treaty of St. Germain." : It requires "a large degree of opti mism," the Norfolk Virgintan-Pilot (Ind. Dem.) thinks, "to imagine Czecho slovakia, Jugoslavia, Poland. Italy and even Austria. doing the handsome thing ana releasing sucn parts oi ui arcn duke's - landed and industrial holdings as have been sequestered," and the New Orleans Times .Picayune Ind. Dem.) - "cannot conceive of Austria al lowing herself to- be stripped of ancient and revered possessions in order that a former archduke may live in luxury while Austrians starve." ; The Augusta Chronicle (Dem.), points out .that Arch duke Frederick claims that he is "not a member of the reigning family," that the 'property in question '. is his own private fortune and as such is protected from confiscation by the terms of the treaty. Most Americans, however, the Brooklyn Eagle (Ind. Dem.) suggests, "will be inclined to .accept with many grains of salt the assertion that; this mammoth property was accomulated by Frederick without the" 'aid Of royu grants or 'concessions, , purely through his marvelous skill in investing money." But aside from the litigation ' and "tremendous, international sensation' growing out of the project, the Spring field Republican (Ind.) predicts that it will "cause .much bitterness and con tribute to the spirit of unrest in Europe aa- well, for' .lf the concentration of great wealth in" the possession of royal families was causing ill feeling, transfer off the property -to foreign ownership is not likely to have a soothing effect." - The desire of Kurope, the NewarM Nws (Ind.) potntat- oat. baa been to break up the great estates of the dis possessed monarchs and royal families, and- while the Washington Post and.) feels that "it would mean - much to the war-stricken countries where' the various ' interests are 'located to have American capital and enterprise devoted to the building up of languishing proje thav Mamoiav Ktavr 4 Ind. ' Kan.) faau-m that "there may be a feeling ' of resent ment over the disposal of the property to -absentee owners thousands of. miles away." and the Raleigh N- C) News and Cibserrer,Deni.) eeea "danger that the property wilt; be administered s as so much similar pi'oprirty la administered in this country with the lowest possible return to iabor'and the greatest possible I CtUI If fcu lUTCSWI . Further, the Topeka Capital (Rep.) warns, the venture "threatens to Involve the United States in a, controversy witfc the new state" carved out or Auatrta. "the last place on the globe where this country "would wish .to see, dolUr diplomacy- enter as - a new rector." The Rochester Times Union find.) hopes that the promoters of 'this scheme "will not copy some investors in Mexico who want our government to guarantee title and returns on their speculative pur chases" and the Johnstown Democrat (Dem.) "prays that i no i International complications may grow, out of - the transaction.' because "Uncle Sam .has shown himself ready to underwrite al most anything representatives of Amer ican - Big Business, may happen to ac quire, anywhere." However.,, there is "no necessity for' the (government of the United States to become involved." the Philadelphia Bulletin (Ind. Rep.) declares, because "the protection which this government accords its ciuaens in foreign lands does not include a guar antee of every , bargain they may pick up.1 -" --": . - -' ' Letters From the People i OornmunicaHona sent) to The Journal: for publication fn this department should be written on only one sue of to paper: aacauu not exctta SOO words in JenstJk. and must be. aicned br tb writer, whose mail address in full must aecom- LODGE, ROOT AND THE REST Assertion That. Disarmament Hopeless in the Hands of Such Men. , Portland. Oct. S. To the Editor of The Journal The press of 'the country is giving much space to the personalities of the American representatives in the armament copference.- The most strik ing thing about the appointments is that they are all old men and lawyers, with the lawyer's point of view, that the more trouble we have the more grist will come to the legal mill. ; Of the four who will represent the United States, not one of them can be considered even . remotely to share the hopes of the people of this or any ether country for a better-world. They belong to an age that is' past and out of plumb' with the present day ".and its problems. v To expect anything worth while from Lodge, Root and Underwood is only to be disappointed in - the end. Not one of them ia on record as opposed to war because of the cruelty and. suf fering it has entailed. Their hearts, like Pharoh's of old, lure hardened against the masses in their struggles and aspira tions for a more equable way of living, and every act of their past lives, in a legislative way, has been in favor of those who profit from wars. , If President Harding were acting for the majority he would have appointed delegates to the conference whose mental mood would typify the sentiment of the country for the abolishment of war. With Lodge and Root at the council table the armor manufacturer. , and. munition maker will have two representatives, who will always have an- eye and ear cocked for their interests. Every' voter should keep hiSv eye on Washington when the conference meets, and every voter- should likewise demand . that no star chamber meetings be held. R. Harrlgan. - SOME QUESTIONS .

Editor of The Journal I am glad he called it the evolutionary "theory." .Most any theory will stand the test of people who are trying to rid themselves of God. But for me, a half-dozen facts are worth a bushel of theories. Any successful stockraiser will tell you that without intelligent se lection of breeding stock animals breed down, not upward. (It seems to me we have run against a God, first thing.) If .we were evolved from the lower anl nals, there would be no missing link. There would be plenty of one-fourth, one-half and three-fourths human. It would take as great power to change one of the laws of nature or God, which ever you call it as. it would to create S man. (You have found God again.) If you have to acknowledge a God, why not take his explanation of the world and man? The Bible says God made man of the-dust-of the!earth- Our bodies are nourished by the plants, we eat or from the animals that live on the plants, which' draw their substance from the earth. The evolutionary theory never yet took a man out of the gutter and made a re spectable man of him and made him sup port his family in comfort, or rescued a fallen woman and made a respectable woman of her. How long would "Evolutionist"- wish to Mve in this world if- we all accepted his .theory land lived as if wei believed it? I am afraid Russia would be mild. Uas "Evolutionist" ever read "his Bible thrdugh, or is be Just swallowing someone's theories - without looking to see -what, they, are made of?
