CoQulUe Valley Sentinel t We bear a great deal about teaching ''Americanism' nowadays and .making foreign born can didates for naturalisation, acquainted with our language and our Institutions. Another thing that is needed 'even more Is the teaching, of the" commandment which says. Thou BhaHnot steal.. It seems to us that failure to respect the rights of property is far -more rgefteral than ever before. At any rate robberies of large sums .axe reported so frequently that it is far within bounds to say that millions of dollars are stolen by thou sands of persons every year in the Unit ed States. Incredible numbers of peo ple have seemingly become indoctrinated with the Bolshevist theory that property itself is robbery In thia respect the morale of the American people needs a tonic. And unless teachers and preach- eis and editors and business and. pro fessional men all unite in a drive to pro mote the doctrine of, property rights, -we tear the next generation wui xace xar greater troubles than we do. Industry and thrift are virtues necessary to prog ress that need teaching, it is true; but the incentives to these virtues will ais- appear unless society is able to protect its members in the enjoyment of what they earn and save. HOME RULE FIRST man whom a federal court had con victed of Corrupt use of money and sentenced to the penitentiary. A Christian citizenship issues from such institutions as Albany college. The composite mind from such in stitutions is shocked by the New berry insult. A nation made up of minds so trained would never tolerate a public and official outrage whose whole effect is to put a very low appraisal upon public morals and public conscience. A contribution to Albany college and like Institutions is good national Insurance. It strengthens the titles to property. It helps abolish New berrys, it purifies public thought It will help minimize the woes of mankind. fpiIE papers were full of such head-- lines as "Organized Gang Robs Many Homes and 8tores" and "Epi demic of Motor Stealing Hits City." One night a farmer was called .out of bod to hitch up his team and pull from the ditch a fairly large car whose lights had failed in a bad place. Two boys were driving it. A UttU later one of them returned, saytng they had run the motor off the highway again and smashed it. Could they borrow the farmer's car? He loaned It to them. ' The boys failed to return the ma chine. But In a few days they were picked up across the border of a neighboring state, peddling merchan dise and knick-knacks. Officers followed the back trail. The car they had smashed had been stolen. Four other stolen cars were found covered up In straw stacks. The stuff they had been selling was the loot of stores and homes. They were the "organised band" and the 'epidemic." The oldest was II. ' The father of the boys was a clti- Mma woo naa . nn vrv t i. !HL ' ?Und' Th- flnncln of V " reforms. .He had been so busy irrigated projoct. and the settllnc organlam the community'o conduct f those projects should be. ab -u . that he had lacked time to learn iaa, on a Dam in wnicn a white population would people the farina and build churches and school houses and live along the line to strengthen rather than weaken American cltlaenahip. To turn over American agriculture to alien races by squeezing American farmers out of the business is to trtke at the very heart of the re public.

In consequence ope. of our . biggest problems, tho excesses Of boys and girls In their teens, has no adequate analysis to ascertain causes and the character of remedy to apply. The most wo do Is to establish a Juvenile court or soma other functionary and aiiow it to go at that. Meanwhile, Mors and more boys ana girls go astray.

A CHALLENGE THE GREAT DEBATE A CHICAGO man Js NBUcd.. for di i vorce by his wife because he is so intensely devoted to his business that he has little time for his home, as recently, recounted on this page. He is a slave to. his business, going early to his office and remaining at his work until late in the evening. , Two wives have come to his de tense. One says: . . ' There are only a few men so devoted to duty that this man ought to be made a shining example) by the commendation t the devorce .court. The other: ... ; Had this man been m the front line trenches Instead of on the firing line of business in these unquiet times, his over- Whelming devotion to duty might have won him the Croix de Guerre or the Dis- uiiuianea service cross. More, his wife would have reverenced him. I But out of uniform, yet not less on Ore righting line, she puts her pleasure ahead of necessity. She is unworthy of ner nussaiHL . But discussion does not end with these views, though undeniably they Possess a certain, convincing quality, - The soldier who goes' over the top does so in the name of God, home and country. Home is looked to as the backbone of loyalty and an altar Of reverence. Who permits tho dis solution of home for any cause aban dons the bulwark of defense against dangers more Insidious than those that threaten the present passing episode of business. He commits another offense, pe culiarly personal. By - "overwhelm ing devotion to duty" he denies him self the recreation without which any business man becomes an inef ficient He 'loses that compensation for his effort Which Is paid with the clasp of a baby's arms and by the tender touch of a wife's affection. The man whose devotion to duty causes him to forget home wins the same result as tho profligate who deliberately neglects home. He ought to change his schedule. But In a man who works so hard thero must be qualities such as to make the divorce court a poorly se lected remedy for his wife's grievance. wrpHE county that Oregon forgot." eucn is uo slogan of tho re organised Lake County Chamber of commerce. - - - Tho pertinence of this query Is de batable. of course, in other sections of tho state, but tho significant fact is that ft should o voiced at an. rit is a query that Portland .should exert its every effort to nullify.

The state board of health of California has published in one of its bulietins the state code of regulations for all camps, whether pro vided by cities, counties, institutions or individuals, and whether free or with fees attached. These regulations are comprehensive and appear to leave no loonhoM for insanitary conditions or unsightly confusion. In addition to the usual health measures relating to purity of water supply, sewage and garbage dis posal and fly prevention, the stats code requires the employment of at least one caretaker in each camp and adequate supervision to insure healthfulneaa and orderliness within the boundaries of the camping site. Some of the California canrns have other attractiona There is a clubhouse and reading room at Marys vine with shower bath for dusty ana weary traveler The cooking arrange ments vary somewhat, from wood-burning- stoves or . gas plates in open cook houses up to a screened kitchen in one camp.

To the Editor ' of The Journal Oregon has gone on rec ord io invite the world to the I92S ex position, to iie oown now would make Oregon the laughing stock of the coun try. Politics made its appearance by a few men to gain political notoriety by proclaiming . their interest in the peo ple, to protect them from over-taxation. They went bo far and prevented the resolution being" put on the ballot for the people to .decide. What right have taey to say shall not be put to a statewide vote? Unfortunately, we have men in politics who would oppose any thing good, just to show their power In politics. . ::. The writer has come in contact with the men on the exposition committee, who have worked hard, neglected their own business ; and spent their own mon ey, not from a selfish standpoint, but for the good of this great state of Ore gon. If a tax is placed on property there will be a howl; if on gasoline there will be a howl. So It is the same with any method -of taxation. Personally, believe a property tax is a just plan. However, since there is bo much oppo sition to taxation, why not submit plan .like San Francisco's In 191S-rals the money by selling bonds? I believe there Is enough faith in Oregon to buy this amount ss.000,000. Railroads, busi ness houses. ,- fraternal organizations. labor unions and all good citisena would subscribe, and if a drive were put OA, with lota of pep, similar to the Com munity Chest and Red Cross, the amount could be raised in one week. Some say the cost of selling bonds would be about 10 per cent. Well, it would be worth it ; or the banks might be persuaded to handle it. I would like to see the newspapers boost this meth od by asking the public to take a straw vote and state the amount they would buy. The 'bonds could be made payable in two years. Id monthly or quarterly payments. In conclusion, I hope the committee will find some method to finance this great proposition- that will be satisfactory to all, and we know it will be a big suc and a benefit to the state of Ore gon. Then these pessimists will hang their' heads in shame or move- out of Oregon and make room for some good, live boosters. James B. Rogers. FRIDAY", JANUARY 20. 1222.

The patient did not recover, so Dr. Reform, was called again. He laid "The medicine did not work." The rail roads had a deficiency. The farmer needed money" to pay interest and ex penses. The wageworkers were Jobless and' their families starving and the mills were closed for want of Ordera The doctor turned the patient over and found a number of leeches fastened on his back. He examined the leeches and said : -These are the leeches that have been tucking the Hfeblood of Industry' for thousands of yeara They have never produced anything yet, but live by blood sucking. They are called "high interest money." The only way to remove this pest is to vote for a president and con gress that will take the circulating me dium (money) out of the hands of pri vate corporations and put it in circu lation, keeping it in circulation at the same unchangeable ratio and at a very low rate of Interest In other words, you can scrape the leeches from your back bv the use of the ballot Then you can throw away the organization medicine and every article of trade will seU ac cording to the law . of supply . and de mand.

SENATOR NEWBERRY'S PLEA Proa the Xv York Ercainc Poet In his speech of defense before the senate yesterday Senator Newberry re peatedly declared that he had nothing to add to what the country already kxows of the way by which he won his -seat That statement is evidently cor- . rect He said nothing to. mitigate the -popular .condemnation which has been . meted out to him. If there was anything . which could have been urged in Justifi cation of his course, he or his advisers , must know what it la His speech, , therefore, constitutes the final piece of evidence against him. The one blight ' spot in it is his declaration that when h beard that $195,000 had been spent for ; him in the primary campaign he "was at once filled with astonishment and re- -gret" But he was not too much astoa- . ished or too regretful to go on into the campaign for election or to take the oath .' to the - seat to which he had waded through a flood of funds.- He fails to give the slightest Indication of thinking that anything was required of him ba-.. yond astonishment and regret It "was , not an ordinary campaign and that was . . all there was to It Even now. Mr. Newberry does not ssy ' that too much -was spent . All he ad mits is that more was spent "than ought to be necessary to expend in any ordinary campaign.' The implication of this asser tion is that ba would not vote te limit campaign expenditure or would he limit thero for "ordinary" campaigns? : His position is that if a candidate or a candidate's friends think that a given contest is not aa ordinary campaign, any expenditure. which they can compass lis Justified... No man with such a view of political methods belongs la cxrRgrese.
