' : i OUR ISOLATION I tfpHE foreign trade of the United J. states fell almost 50 per cent luring September aa compared with the same month last year-' Our ex torts and Imports amounted to nearly (1.000,000,000 last September. This rear they totaled a little more than ISOO.OOt.OOO. The" figures indicate a. tremendous Becline in 'markets for products of tke United States abroad.' They mean that Europe is not buying from us. . They mean that Europe is' not sell ing to us. They mean that the de mand for American goods ia de 0 ereasing, thai prices for goods will e . lower and that production- will ikely slump, workers will have ewer places ;to work, industries in - general will have less to do, and v he buying power in this country will Increase. They mean the same thing or Europe. - They meat that Amer- - ca Is less prosperous and that Eu- ope is less Wosperoua. v The report of a special committee f the United States Chamber of Commerce which has recently visited' " Europe tells 'why foreign trade' has ' slumped and why this country and Europe are in- the throes of depres ilon. - .The committee says it is ital hat 'this country do not longer re- train from "active V partioipation in - the settlement of, economic and .fi : fiancial difficulties" In the old coun- try. The report continues: . 'II The United States is regarded as the tnont powerful.- country in the' world, tofrimercially and financially. Its reputa tion for integrity and- fair dealing is Well established. Possessing as it does ; treat quantities of raw. material and - . fnanufactures which it wishes to -' Change with other nations, the Interest If the United States, in accelerating a return to world prosperity, is vital, v But I the United -States will not actively participate in the affairs of Rurope. , For the purposes of a po itlcal i campaign the doctrine . was aid. down that we should take no iart in European - affairs that we ire isolated. f We must not, we were told, share . the burdens of recon struction across the sea; we should mot aid foreign countries back to normal; we should take no hand in stabilizing European states. ' 1 I "We have adopted the policy of iso ation." We did nothing to aid Eu rope. , We could not extend credits n unstable countries, and,; aa a re rult, those countries cannot buy from us, and cannot sell to -us; -and our foreign' trade has diminished one palf. The results are every day ap- arent to the fanners of the United tates,ito the workers, to the manu- acturers and to the bankers. , Our policy of isolation brought on a first-rate depression here, and left tBurope in the same state. . Yet, we expect, to collect , from a Europe in penury, billions of dollars that she owes ns, when she oah neither -sell to us nor purchase from' tts," v It is time that TtolAtlcs'Vwere 'i&d iourned.4 .

STALWART policemen must have shuddered aloud down at Second and Oak streets Monday. Tbs cold chills that syncopated down the be leaguered spines of grizzled Veterans, wreaking havoc ; on their way, must have Jbeen withering. Undoubtedly their bones rattled disconsolate "notes as the., shrinking guardians of the law stood therei pale and faint,' shak ing, in their shoes as if their hearts would break. Were they not threatened with im pending doom? -Were the heavens not to fall ? Was lightning not about to "strike and decapitate them' all, every-mother's son of them? Was Portland's great police organizer and reorganizer not about to descend on the police .department, wave his magic 'wand, turn the bureau inside out and back again, and hold .up to public scrutiny a "police department reorganized, peerless - and unim peachable? r ; , "' Had this 8a me' redoubtable apostle of police efficiency not moved down to the station before and worked his -wonders?- Had those policemen not all -been made young again? Had they not become immediately effi cient, and strict believers in police chastity? Was the "Shadow" not given two withering chases out on the Base line road, and an inspector reduced to a patrolman for a week as. a- result of the great reorganiza tion ? And didn't a police' Janitor cringe 'under an icy stare from the reorganizer extraordinary and a cat Jump over the moon? Is it any wonder that policemen- clerks dug their spurs deeper' into desks, and that grizzled officers asked forgiveness for, their sins when another great and terrible reorgani zation of the department was an nounced? How did they know where they will stand when the lights go out?

When an American mule, trained only in the Missouri vernacular, must take orders in the Spanish language what will be the confusions and complexities? And when he balks, how will the mule know what is in his driver's mind? BABY LOU AT CORVALtilS there is a child of 20 months,, who, for the year, is In the care of eight college girls. She lives with them in what is called "The Practice House," a resi dence fitted out' for the training of girl students in the domestic science course at the Agricultural college Six weeks are spent by each group of eight 'girls in (heir final year in the actual practice of the art of home keeping, all under the direction of a woman member of the faculty. In turn, the girls act as nurse to the .child. By turns, they serve as hostess for -the house,, as cook, wait ress, housekeeper, laundress, and so on. They order provisions, keep the ac counts, prepare the bill of fare and perform all the tasks incident to the routine of keeping the well ordered "Practice House" in motion. At the place, the visitor is enter tained ' with a cordiality and grace equal to that in the best regulated home. It has an atmosphere of home refinement that adds infinitely to the respect for and faith in Ameri can home life. The child is cared fer under the modern rules of rearing, the young. It is the idol of the household, but is not spoiled by the indulgence through which many a .foolish mother ruins her offspring. There is avoidance of those things which increase the. selfishness which loving and indulgent parents so often in grain into their children with subse quent disastrous effects. Education is doing a great deal for the welfare of this country. It can do a great deal more if the people, by a sufficiently liberal financial support, will only give it a chance. ANEW YORK detective was stroll- ing down a street in the Bowery when a hatjd touched him oh ' .the shoulder. The detective " turned to look into the wan face of a ragged figure of 74 years. The back .was bent and the hair gray. The stranger asked that h'e be taken to jail, -i Thirty years before that figure was familiar on the race tracks of America. It was that of Joe Fuller,' one of the highest paid Jockeys of his time. He had ridden the great horses -of his day in alj of the great races. His earnings he estimated at more than half a million dollars. , To the Judge the aged Jockey told this story: My drug habit began in California in 1900. I was riding- a steeplechaser when she fell at a hurdle and threw me. Another horse stepped on me and in jured my spine. I was given morphine in the hospital to ease my pain. The dope got me and when I was discharged I had to have it. I lost, money, friends and everything else, and now I am a. bum from a Bowery lodging house. For God's sake do something for me. joe f uller naa won many a con test on the rice tracks but he lost In the greatest contest of his life with his. implacable enemy drugs. They had reduced him from a man1 of wealth and friends, to a friendless and poverty-stricken denizen of a cheap Bowery lodging house - If is a story frequently written and an appeal frequently heard, but an appeal that is always made after the deadly drug has done its work. ahU-foreign-jborn organization must tear aside." The Cleveland JPlain Dealer Und.

Island (Neb.) Independent (lnd. says, "our own regularly elected and sworn officers of the law, together with, an overwhelming popular opinion, can be relied; upxm to keep the majesty of statutory law , and of American institu tions supreme," and the Emporia Ga zette (Ind.) states that "when the mob is organised! by the Klan, the consti tution, which guarantees these .people certain inalienable rights, breaks down and anarchy takes bold of the majority." J That the Ku Klux Klan is not to be classed along with its namesake of re construction Tdays in the South, or the vigilance committees of pioneer days in the West, lsj brought out by a number of papers. The Spokane Spokesman Review (IndJ Rep.) says "the latter op erated in the! open.- The vigilance com mittees dealt only with major crimes and' had nothing to do with the petty foibles of individuals," while the Butte Miner Den).) points out that "they were non-sectarian in their endeavors." The Tampa Times (Dem.) finds "no jus tification for "this imitation in name only of thej band of fearless patriots who protected the people of the South in- 'their political, social and property rights during the trying reconstruction period." f On the other hand, gram (Ind.)

To the Editor rof The Journal I saw in The Journal of recent date an account of a little child being run, over and killed by an automo bile. According to the investigation into the accident the owner of the car was not exceeding tne speed limit and was found not' to 'have been running, prob ably, more.: than-10- or 12 miles an hour. SUll, on- toying to stop the car; it slid 17 feet Still, the child was killed while playing in the .street. As thei driver waa not jeXceediag j the 8 peed limit he was not held responsible under the law. Then the ity must be responsibie. The chad was killed, and no one responsible. The child was not of responsible age. Then they are allowed to be killed on account of the city's slack, ruling. So long as the speed law allows killing, so longwill there be deaths on the streets of Portland. So long as the speed limit is more than five miles an hour while the necessity is for a .positive stop, Just so long they will kill th; people of Portland. What matter the speed -if there is no Btop, as they arts not required to stop? Speed not to ex ceed 10 or 15 miles an hour that rule counts for nothing., iThere .. Is "nothing definite about that, i A .stop makes it definite, and that word, and that only, counts for anything." , A Journal Reader. Stanley G.

It will be a "reconstruction" hospi tal for the discharged, disabled vet erans of the iWorld war who served in the army, the navy and the marine corps. r :;-- - It will be a marine hospital for the active sailors of the American merchant marine. . - t It will also be utilized for the sailors of foreign merchant marines who may fall ill - in the port and who have been sent by authority and at the expense of their respective governments. J All this means that for the first time the Port of Portland is tohave a marine hospital. San Francisco has long had a marine hospital Se attle has a marine hospital at Port Townsend. Both are the property of the . government. The marine hospital at Portland should be the property of the United States. . The Hahnemann Hospital, which has been completed by' vir tue of government appropriation, or some other , hospital equally- well equipped, ought to be the property of the government. The Chamber Of Commerce, other civic influence, and our representatives in congress, have the duty of pressing this proposal. , A few days ago Surgeon Gerreral Cummlng of the United States health service -was in Seattle.

AFTER DISARMAMENT, WHAT? - Vancouver, Wash,, Oct. l?To the Editor of The Journal Today we read in a Portland paper that Lloyd George will likely name, the-British delegation to the Washington conference immedi ately after his return- to London. Let us hope he will,- and .that aU the other nations eligible will follow his exam ple without delay. But after St Is all over and disarmament has carried, what then? ' There -Will still remain the general disorders into which the world has fallen, occasioned by the unbelief ot tne people in an overruling Provi dence that marks the way in which we should travel to be at peace. The prof iteer s will still be with us, and those who place wealth above all things else will not decrease in . numbers. The stained and crumpled moral code, in tensified, by the World war and every other evil following Irr its train, will still remain, although disarmament carries, as we hope it may. If we pin our hopes of world peace alon upon disarmament, we might as weBdrop it witnout going any farther. .--It will not and can not-be a success, r' fhere is a divine power oer all nmatter what either science (as we term it) or skeptics - may teach.
