ANOTHER LILT WHITE rpUE senate of tile United states J- within the last year or two baa Shad more than ; its share of embar rassment due to the use of money In politics. " Every time money Is rnentlooed there is a shudder among the; people's representatives there, a etrange silence pervades the place, and the men who insist on talking about money in elections are about as popular among: their colleagues bp the excess profits tax is with Big; Business. 4J The-Newberry case, with ItM dollar !piarks, was abou( jas much as any pne senator wanted to stand. Then itShere was the Wood fund, a. stagrser Jng sum. Campaign luah scandals i perhaps beat Lowden ' at Chicago. lAnd it is not all over yet. j Who is up before the senate for Iconf irmaion as internal revenue col lector at St. Louis but Nat Goldstein, one or the famous "Gold Dust Jrwins" ? He was operating In - the ELowden forces, and it was he that pocketed, it is said, $2600 of the Lowdrn funds. He was named In the scandal at that time. And hero he comes up to the money-dodging fsenators in Washington with his dollar marks for confirmation. His sponsor is Senator Spencer. Senator Spencer was also the sponsor of Newberry. And there they are, all thiree of. them Newberry, 8pen- icer alnd Goldstein standing before the senate in their; llfy whites. ask ing the approval of that senate for another dollar mark. They will probably get it. If they do., it will be another action for which the sen ate will have to account on election day. ? A, Candidate for mayor whom It opposed having 'been elected, the kseattfe Times emerges with this post- election wisdom: "Abuse elects more men-that it defeats."5 The truism comes in time still to be of some value; in connection with May 1 in Oregon. .'

All they have to do is to isub- tion and agree to accept its findio?s. as has been done by! the .ia. .j i.., Refusal by them would mean the : indefinite prolongation of the strike. It ,woiiId mean a continuation of the violence, the hirihff of extra policemen, the loss of shipping to the port, and a loss of Portland's reputation' as a city of industrial tran quillityJ It would probably mean the inteniationalizatioh of the strike by the National . Longshoremen s union,! and, conse quent trouble in getting Portland ports ; which, in turn, would to other ports where there was stevedores and longshoremen f -;v If the contracting stevedores they will become directly responsible for a continuation strike and for such bad consequences as may I result, cannot afford' to choose such a course. , . -U j- It is to be remembered that strike Mas called, offered certain cooperate! in bringing the cost of handling cargoes m Portland to a parity with ports on Puget Sound and in British Columbia. They offered to adopt the wages Puget 6und ports. ; : f in harmony -with that early offer to submit the dispute to the state board of mediation and to accept its findings, as ; they were requesteato do by i the United States shipping board: ' The shipping board, on its part, as thi larcest shirmrncr interest in the nort. rectuested the ar bitration by the state board of mediation .as the sprest, speediest and fairest means of . ending the strike. More to the poihtl the longshoremen have declared the board vessels are concerned and cargoes as required. They agree further, if contracting; steve dores consent to arbitration, to begin handling ffeargoes (for all vessels immediately thereafter. It is, therefore, within the power of the employers to end 15 minutes. I It is now 17 days since the absolutely rests with the employers whether it shall be settled at once, and be settled by reason or whether it is to go on indefinitely, with its disastrous; conse quences to this port. We shall see what we shall fair are said to be the sign of matri monial intentions. In an uncivilized South Sea isle two strings of beads and a piece of cocoanut convey the sameneaning. In some cases civili zation' isn't even a veneer? It's mere ly a smoke wreath,, ' . IT CAN -AND WILL BE DONE rrtHERE are few things in reason J- that can't be done. It is entirely reasonable to close roadhouses-that are a menace to the morality of a community. It can be done. . . It is claimed by officials that under the present laws roadhouaes within Multnomah county can't be closed. It is known that liquor is consumed on the premises. . It is known that conduct is not always orderly at many of those roadhouses. It is known that riotous parties take place in many of .the establishments. It ia known that many a girl emerges from the places in a condition in which she is hardly able to protect herself. It is known that drunken parties have left the houses. It is known that not long ago a girl died from alcoholic causes after a visit there. It , is known ' that another woman was killed in an automobile accident, supposedly due to reck less driving while the operator of the car was Under theinfluence of liquor, after ' leaving, oae of those roadhouses. It Is known that numer ous other unfortusate occurrences have taken place after visits to" road houses within and without the city Umits. Perhaps officials cannot obtain evidence against the places sufficient to close them. Maybe it is the law. Maybe it Is a lack of capacity among incumbent enforcement officers. Places far less dangerous-to. the morals of Multnomah county than roadhouses '"have 'been closed. Evi dence has been found against them. The law has been sufficient for the purpose of closing them. But the roadhouses go , on and, on and the "parties" there go onf and on. : Is it lack of law or, a lack of ef ficiency in the enforcing depart ments? If the trouble la with; the enforcing officials it is not difficult to get other officials. If it Is the law It Is not difficult ' to pass 'laws to apply to the case. The. public can demand either stronger enforcement or stronger laws. And the' public would Quickly vote for a closing of several of ( the disreputable places that pow operate in and out of the city of Portland.

The absence -of cultivation dims the ' predictions. that Sandy , boule vard as principal approach "to the Columbia River highway would pre sent an :, avenue of- beauty at the time of this year's Rosa Festival.

There has been lack of that mulching of the soil which en courages growth.

THE TWO DOLLARS The One of 'the War-Time and the One of the Peace-Time Compared. : Troutlake, 'aah.. May i.- To the Editor of Tho Journal During the war we heard a good deal about honest dol lars, lip service and loafing on the Job, from a class of men that owned the dol lars, gave -only dip service arid labored hard in a swivel chair on ai cost-plus basis. Now they are giving tfhe farmer lip sympathy V and an opportunity to work 3 hours a day to pay the war debt twice with high-priced dollars. Let us I consider. Money is supposed to be the mesure or yardstick of values. Dur ing the war we; borrowed, sair S14, the measuring value of one barrel of flour. Some influences have changed! the meas uring value of money (not the American people, mind you)j, and we are) to return Sli, equal to the .measuring value of two barrels' of flour,, or twice thej hours oi labor: the farmer borrowed. 1 Was the money we borrowed honest money, with an honest measuring value? Or is what we pay back honest money! Or both? Will some gow ? sxanoara. oeica-io-nor-malcy advocate: p anawerT t t wonder whether the American "people will ever wake up to the fact that thosW who con trol our money, Xgulate itsj value to their own advantage and are Controlling themr That money is the joker tin the Industrial game, and the joke is out of the hands of the American people. How long will the farmer sit In 4 game of thfs kind and permit himsfelf ; to; be fleeced without a, murmur? Yes, some even smile under tha operation. Surely Che days of martyrdom are Tiot a thing of the past. I c m. jcuttmg. j HEROES FORSAKEN FOH ITiOLS I CorvaUis.
