DISINTEGRATION?
IT WltJL be a mistake if the with
drawal of 610 Clatsop county
dairyitien means the disintegration
of the. Oregon Dairymen's league..
, It there were no other argument
for :' cooperation among the dairy
farmers, the bitter fight mide upon
their1 organization by middlemen who
buy their products should be enough
The outside interests that brought
money' and men into Oregon to cam
paign to disorganize and demoralize
the league were practical gentlemen
who knew they could profit more
by dealing with unorganized farm
ers than with farmers organized.
The misfortune in the league have
been the mistakes in the manage
ment of tile affairs of the organiza
tion. The same mistakes were made
in the California cooperative organi
zations, but they were all overcome
in time and the cooperative move
ments there are all on the high fide
of, prosperity.
Up- to recently in the Oregon
Dairymen's league there was too

recent farmer legislation is by sena

. A STATEMENT BY MRaPRINCB
Relating; to Arrest and Fine Under Game
Laws, Deemed Unjust. ,
? Portland. Oct , 2-To the Editor . ot
The JournalOn Saturday, October, la,
I was arrested by Mr. Clark, district
game warden, charged' with hunting on
a state game preserve. I was given a
hearing before Judge Bell ot the distriet
court and fined "125. My gun and license,
which had been taken up by the warden,
were returned to me. -The facts of j the
case were as follows -j
I ' loaded ' my gun in the vicinity of
Eighty-second street and Sandy boule
vard and started ' cross-country to) the
.north to locate some. truck gardens. The
owner gave roe, permission four 'or five
years ago to hunt there. It was j out
of the city limits and the birds were
a nuisance ; to "him. 1 became confused
ln a- wood and came out on what is
known as Pattock's ranch. Mr. Pattock
called to me as I -came out of the woods,
and "told me no hunting waa allowed
on his place. When I got within talking
distance of him" he told me further that
I was on a state game preserve. I
immediately unloaded the gun. Atthe
same time Clark and another warden,
who were driving along the road, saw
us and came to us. Clark asked ; for
the shells I had taken from the gun,
took the gun and license, advised me
of the boundaries of the preserve and
instructed me to appear at the office
of the game commission the following
week, with above' results.
' During the same week an article
appeared in the Portland Telegram in
regard to a state game warden being
arrested for hunting on the state game
preserve. The article stated that the
warden was not. only on the preserve.
but had shot some birds. His case wag
heard before Judge Bell, He was fined
123. but the fine was remitted and the
case continued on the ground that the
warden was aot familiar with the
boundaries of the preserve.
I might say further that Judge Bell
stated to me and others who were
oresent at my hearing that such a
heavy Tine was out of- all reason in
my case, but the state game laws called
for la minimum fine of $25 and he was
obliged to assess that fine or be subject
to paying it himself.
At the time and place of my arrest
I supposed I was not nearer than . i
mile to the south boundary of the pre
Serve. The postings along Columbia
boulevard indicate that the preserve is
bounded on the south by Columbia
boulevard. O. A. Prince.

AMERICANS cannot be proud of
our administration of affairs in
Haiti.,
.Testimony before the senate com
mittee investigating Haitian condi
tions indicates that brutality has
been a favorite companion of ma
rines charged with administrative
duties on the southern island. It in
dicates that natives have been killed
on the slightest pretext and some
times without pretext. It indicates
that they have been Shot without
trial. It indicates'that the killing
has been indiscriminate.
Previous investigations have white
washed our military administrators
of Haiti. The Investigators have
fonnd that brutality v and killings
were justified. .'
Undoubtedly it will be claimed
now that the hapless natives mowed
down earned their , fates by overt
acts. ' - ;
It is an easy matter to find reasons
why the natives should have been
killed. It is not difficult to describe
them as bandits and marauders.
And dead men tell no tales.
Bat it would have been an easy
matter, also to have afforded the
natives trials before shooting there
And if they were guilty of overt acjs
it should not have been difficult to
prove it. And how can a course of
shooting without trial be defended
in America where a fair and impar
tial trial is a guaranteed and sacred
right? -:

AN ARTIST'S CRITICISM
Upon Art Museum Jury's Practice, and
Lack of Public -Encouragement.
Portland? Oct.! 20. To the Editor Of
The Journal Now that you have started
a fire, it would be well to fan it into a
broader flame with the hope that fire
will fulfi'l ita mission of purification.
I refer to the article in yesterday's Jour
nal dealing with the Art Museum and
the conflicting emotions experienced by
spectators when visiting the present ex
hibit. You have struck the keynote
of dissatisfaction felt by, I believe, every
sincere local artlstrwhoi -year rafter yeac.
sends .us best stuff to the runkuownr
jury and .each year is chagrined to fm
it turned down. There is-no democracy
in local art circles. Tou are either ii
the clique or very much out of it,
There .is no fairness about giving twi
Instructors at the museum the entire
fast wall to ti'.emselves and crowding a'
the other aitists' work to ire three re-i
maininx, badly lighted, walls.
What is needed in Portland is a critic
who.- without fear or favor, will cor.
structively criticise the exhibits, praising
the good and lambasting the rotten stuff
which, for, some reason or other, is con
sidered as "art" by the local body.
I have works hung at the present ex
hibit and do not find fault with the posi
tions.grven. My sole object in writing
this is to express what many local art'
lets have often discussed and "cussed."
Tou may wonder why we continue to
submit paintings to this "unknown
jury. All I can say is, there is no place
where "eternal hope springs more te
vently than in the artist's breast. He
hopes his best efforts will be appreciated
and that people who love beautiful
things will find his work acceptable and
buy it for its worth.
besides the authority on art, Port
land needs a class of people with com
mon sense enough to be - their own
judges and a willingness to buy, and
thus encourage painters . to greater
things. Among all my artist friends,
not one is mercenary, but a sale now
and then would fill them ttith enthusi
asm and encouragement. Exhibitor.

This house was built In the late '40s, but

however, that she did. as no other school-
