ate when a powerful group in that
body will hold up legislation or pass
legislation as part of a bargain in

What was back of Newberry that

and what are its purposes and plans,
that "social group" which Senator
Kenyon (Republican) declared on
the senate floor was moving heaven

What does it do but bode evil tor

Senator .Newberry of Michigan (a
millionaire) was tried in the lower
courts of Michigan and convicted of
violation ot the corrupt practices act, but
the United States supreme court came
to his rescue with a decision that the
law did not apply tn his ease. While
under prison sentence. Senator Newber
ry was allowed to cast the deciding vote
in the United States senate which defeat
ed the League of Nations and thereby
stayed the bead of peaea. and prog
ress, and from its effects the whole
world , is today suffering. And. .as
final debauch of public decency
the senate voted-, to seat Senator
Newberry. However, we are - told
that this was only made possible
after President Harding had personally
used the Influence of his high office to
whip the wavering senators into line. If
this is -normalcy, then God protect us
from aanonnalcy.
From today's press reports we learn
that Mr. Daugherty, attorney general.
has again instructed bis solicitor gen
eral to play the part ef an angel of
mercy and appear before the United
States supreme court and admit error on
the part of the government, in the case
of A. F. Smith and the Columbia River
Shipbuilding corporation, and Joseph R.
Bowles and the Northwest Steel com
pany, all of Oregon. The defendants
were held in contempt of court, fined
$2500 each and ordered committed until
thev delivered all papers and records tn
connection with their shipbuilding war
contracts, to special agents of the de
partment of justice. But the solicitor
reaeral's admission of error was again
recognised by the supreme court, ana
the whole proceed lugs were oismissea
hence, another millionaire forgiven.
If the nresent powers that be at
Washington continue their present
methods it will not be necessary zor
them to appear before the United States
supreme court and admit error me
whole world will know that they are
error." E. Eilingson.

A SUPER-NAME
Vancouver. Wash., Jan. 14. To the
Rditor of The Journal Here is some
thing that might suggest the name of
some prehistoric animal, beast or repuie
unearthed by archaeologists, but as a
matter of fact it Is. or was, once affixed
to an Individual human being to dis
tinrulsh him from John Smith, "William
Jones, Ole Olson, etc Anyone having
access to a law library can find it In 61
Fac Reporter, page 154. It is the name
;Vereneseneckockockhoff. Will some apt
ticgulst please come forward and pro
nounce It for us? The name figures in
a writ of review by the supreme court
of the state of California some years
ago. wherein the appellant, verenese-
neskockockhoff asks for a retrial after
having been convicted of first degree
murder In the trial court. After not
ing that a new trial had been denied the
appellant I believe I could distinguish
two distinct words in that cognomen
that were fateful to the owner "neck"
and 'off." The Office Boy.
' WANTS FORD TO COME WEST
Portland, Jan. 14. To the Editor ot
The Journal While we are discussing
the development of hydro-electric power
on the Columbia river and the irriga
tion of the Columbia basin lands, why
not invite Henry Ford to investigate
the two projects? I know he has con
sidered an industrial project in Oregon
if he did not get the Muscle Shoals
dams, and it is possible he could be in
duced to look Into the Columbia river
power and irrigation projects even if be
does get the other. Of course, some
might object to his coming here on ac
count of party affiliation or lack of
such, but If It would put us all in "tha
way of making money, we would soon
forgive him ot that sin and perhaps
all others he may be accused ot.

No, there Is no stock for sale. This Is

and settle 'peaceably disputes that might

Abolishing war Is too Utopian for
realisation at present- Even a league
of nations to prevent war proved pre

maments is, however, practical and the
benefits resultant will be apparent la
reduced tax burdens. But the fact that

Men do net fight because they hav
weapons they have weapons because
they fight. But removing and limiting
th weapons limits the desire and cor
