Day "after day they tell of broken paroles, broken locks and broken bones, with all tha breaking charred to a criminal who has served only a mite of his original sentence. America only convicts a small per centage of her criminals. Those con victed seldom receive a heavy sen tence. And after they reach prison the sentence Is frequently cut to the minimum. The result is lack of respect for the law and wholesale commission of crime. Unless crimes by paroled convicts crow fewer the system will have to undergo an ' overhauling.

How many more supervisors and Inspectors and inside guardians and outside guardians and special guard ians and higher guardians and lower guardians, all on salary, are we to have In the public life? Here is also a demand for an in vestigation of the. department of properties in the Portland school district, based on reports that "com petent employes have been dis charged without cause; that men in the employ of the district have been engaged in work not connected with the schools, on school time, and to determine whether the cost of con ducting the department of properties is excessive." Such charges ought to be eifted. Do public authorities remember how many proposals contemplating in creases of taxation have been voted down? Do they not realize that these refusals to vote taxes and bon)s mean that the public has gone on a strike for a reduction of taxes? The Portland school board owes it to Itself to thoroughly investigate the reports now going the rounds. The last place in the world for scan dals Is In the public school system. York. Philadelphia. Boston, Chicago and the national capital. ; .Wouldn't it be a good Idea to pre sent the mayor In each city with a box of Oregon apples under circum stances that would provoke cheerful publicity for Oregon? ; In the first instance, the master of the vessel would doubtless be proud to accept appointment as Oregon's apple Santa Claus. He might, to carry the Christmas spirit farther. be entrusted with a few boxes for the children of London who lack the pence : to buy Oregon apples, but would perhaps enjoy them more than alfothers. , The suggestion might be taken tip by. the fruitgrowers associations, the State Chamber of Commerce or the Portland Chamber of Commerce. The Journal would cooperate. COMMENT OF THE STATE PRESS The last will and testament of a prominent Kentuckian orders his body cremated and the ashes, to be scattered along his favorite trout stream.

Robart U. Infaraoll. TITOST of the Japanese newspapers are reported as approving the Hughes proposal at the Washington conference. Billboard advertising is employed by the anti-military party in Japan to urge cooperation by that country In the limitation of armaments. Tax ation for support of the naval pro gram bears down so heavily that the anti-militarists are disputing strong ly for the ascendancy. In America we recently launched the dreadnaught Maryland, whose final cost is to be $42,000,000. We gain from the figures a glimpse at why thousands of Japanese are pro testing their country's naval pro gram of eight super-dreadnaughts 1 ference and eight battle cruisers.

Many indignities had been heaped upon him in the service by an officer with whom he had trouble. A prisoner was brought to the prison one day, and proved to be the officer. With their relations now changed, the first Job of the former officer was to black the private's boots, the next to clean the spittoons, and a third to scrub' the office floor and wipe off the furniture.

It is a sur vival of medieval Ignorance and 6uper- sitltion. The strong man doesn t pray. He acts. The church is the last strong hold of oppression. It must go, if man is to be free." Lenin is not alone In his opinion. There are thousands of people who accept this materialistic code, without his courage to proclaim it But the fact remains, the masses ol Russia still kneel before their altars. and In spite of this golden age of ma terialism, millions throughout the world fctill find comfort and strength in that spiritual communion which is the living force of prayer. And perhaps, after all, prayer is what this Washington confer ence particularly needs. That is to say. unless the spiritual faith and force. latent in humanity regardless' of cult or creed. Is called upon ; unless factors which transcend the mere impedimenta cf diplomatic barter and trade, are util ized, there seems little hope that the limitation conference will contribute any more to the betterment of the world than Its many predecessors. For sooner or later every thoughtful person comes to the realization that there is more in this world than can be scheduled on a cash register. Call it what one win, there is above everything and behind everything, a supreme force, which deter mines human destiny, regardless of how human agencies may struggle to pre vent it. Isn't there justification, there fore, for the hope that If this lmponder able element is utilized, what appears from a materialistic standpoint merely a repetition of the old futile game may be elevated to the plane of genuine achievement? We believe there Is. And because of that belief, we find in this program of prayer, not another evidence of sanctimonious futility, but the basis of a faith, that the human spirit has been at last aroused, and may well be the salvation of the Washington con Letters From the People COMMENT AND news in 'brief SMALL CHANGE Said the oil can to the squeaky spring.

Baker, Nov. 12. To the Editor of The Journal Some may think me childish for defending that part of God's creation we call the animal world. We read every few days about how many preda tory animals Mr. So-and-So has killed. some with the gun, others with poison coyotes. Doers, bobcats and smaller ani mals. The state and national govern ments join in mis slaughter, to say nothing of nearly everybody else. It is claimed they should be killed, as they are so destructive. This pretext is flimsy. The coyote occasionally gets an old hen, or some crippled old sheep and makes a deal of noise. I have lived among them and know something of meir naoits. me coyote kills more squirrels and mice 'in one year than a' farmer could kill with $5 worth of poi son. For these small faults they must die, says the unjust judge. The bear, also, is charged with murder, proved generally by false witnesses. Then the killer comes in with a bag of pelts, be cause there are dollars In them, and other silly folk have the dollars and think the poor animals hides look bet ter than their own. The animal's right to live never costs them a thought, Who knows but the life of an animal whose skin you have on your back to day was valued by the creator as much as yours? The other animals have all the organism and powers that man has. except the power of speech. They have reeling ana sympathy for their own, at least, and that's about as much as man has. The animal has fears : so has man. They are born just like us, and cry in uie wilderness for lack of food. We, the hand-picked lords of all, have been edu cated in our own eyes to the point that murder ot nelpless, friendless, less fortu nate creatures of creation is high-class sport.

In just 10 days I had word that my boy was not coming borne, that he had gone west, as it was termed, and to day I sit and weep, instead of Joining In the celebration. I can hear the noise of the merrymakers and I wonder and try to calm myself.
