THE DAY'S EVENTS
J JH. DE FREES, president of the
chamber of Commerce of the
United States, in a recent address to
thel chamber, said:
IB is only the hopelessly ignorant or
the Incurable optimist who can work out

powerful to aid, in restoring stability in
Burepe in our own interest, as well as in
theirs, is. I assert, the greatest and
most immediate problem before Amer

.Sir. Defrees says the most impor
tant .problem to American business
te-diy is to stabilize Europe and to
reopen the trade routes and markets.
He says America must helo

how glad we would be to do some
thing for the world; how desirous

and? their welfare:- BUT that we
could not at this time do anything
for them: that, in fact, we couldn't
eve meet in conference with them
and? discuss international economic
problems. -
: undoubtedly, about the same time,
theprreconcilables were smiling over
the stand this country . had , taken
and! the isolationists were licking
their chops. They, must have gloated
over their political victory,
' About the same time, OTer in the

JEWELS FOR FOOD

The Russian peasant who produces
food is the over-lord of deposed

PORTLAND'S QUAKE ABROAD
MTARTHQUAKB deals terror In
Portland" J is the headline
given by the San Pedro News tothe
account of our recent, tiny temblor.
This informed paper adds:
As many as four distinct shocks were
felt ia many parts of the city. No serious
damage and no . casualties wege . re
ported. Crockery was sent crashing in
many residences, workers in. high build
ings were shaken and nany people were'
sent screaming into the streets with
terror of the seism io disturbance. ; -' !
The pathetic part of the San Pedro 1
story is the sad experience of those
poor people who jwefe Shaken up
in the high buildings. ! Theirs was a
melancholy fate. And they were sop
oungr, so fair and so full of hope.
The millions upon millions tip in
the high buildings who saw first;
their false teeth shaken loose from
their moorings byj tbe quake and
then saw themselves shaken down
by their landlords by raises, in rents',
certainly did have an uncheerful
run-in" with the quake., .
And that flying "crockery which
so filled the air and darkened the
sun that the lights had to be turned
on, and those billions of people who
ran "screaming into the : streets in
terror" made a hot time in the old
town.
And when tens of thousands of
candidates, many - of whose hopes
have since been , blighted, got down
on their marrow bones and prayed
that they and their boomjets might
be spared until primary ' day, the
terror of the situation simply beg
gared description, except by the San
Pedro paper, which failed to get these
latter horrible details into (its mar
velous stpry of things that never
happened. 1
Why didn't the Chicago physician
who arrived in England the other
day in order to hear a nightingale
sing pause south of the Mason -and
Dixon line and actually hear one.
IN THE ELECTION RETURNS
JJERE are the figures on congress
man in laot r naay s rvepuDiican
primaries:
McArthur 15,449.
Korell 14.S11. ,
Crumpacker 10.464.
Macdonald 2214.
ToUl 42,438.
Mr; McArthur got only. 15,440 Re
publican . votes.i. Twenty-six thou
sand nine hundred and eighty-nine
jKepuoiicans votea against him. Over
63 per cent of the Republicans of h13(
district did not want Mr. McArthur.t
Nearly two thirds of his Republican'
constituents who voted in Friday's
primaries think Mr. McArthur's
votes and speeches in congress are
wholly out of harmony with 'their
views and their wishes.
This vote on congressman is one
of the most impressive phases of the
late primaries. The great body of
the Republicans of the district
realize that Mr. McArthur is more
of a representative of New England
than of Oregon. - He gets his certifi
cate of election in Oregon, but votes
with the highly polished and suave
gentlemen who are in congress ' to
speak and vote for the special things
that " the Northeast corner of the
United States always wants and al
ways gets, at the expense of the, rest
of the country. -V .
They oppose the farm "bloc. So does
Mr. McArthur. H:
They fight the bonus. So does Mr.
McArthur. ' v '. .
They voted to remove a certain
share of the taxes from war babies.
So did Mr. McArthur. , ) V
They voted to put the tax burdens
thus taken . off war fortunes, upon
average people. So did Mr. Mc
Arthur. . .... :
This is part of the reason why the
Republican members of his ; own
party in this district threw an over
whelming plurality v against : him in
the effort to defeat hjjn. - f
. Mr. McArthur Is widely, esteemed
for his charming personal qualities.
He is admired for his courage in
voting his convictions. But his ideas
of government are so widely 'at vari
ance with the Ideas of his Republican
constituents that nearly two thirds of
the members of his party voted and
worked to retire him.? vr' ' '
It is a very f unusual situation.
They do not want "him. but Mr. Mc
Arthur compels them to keep him
in congress. -;":.;vr . ' "
He always "licks" them to fa
fraxsle. " " v - . Ki
Hentfr B. Walthall and Rodolph
Valentino." of the film colony, defend
themselves on the ground that the

are such that a law-abiding family

what they say; but tihere la a gTeat

THE CRASH AND AFTER
A ; NEW? YORK brokerage 5 house
recently failed with . practically
no assets to cover liabilities In the
neighborhood of $4,000,000. ' .; j
Tho; the firm j for
the , preceding year t, amounted ) to
$22,000. ' V Among I the administra
tive expenses; !aro ; listed $5S 9,000
for, branch offices, $46S,000 for sal
aries, $1X5,900 general expenses, and
$310,000 drawn by one of the part
ners. Included 'in jthose larger ex
penses :t:Jwere $35,000 for iunches,
$11,000 for travel-and entertainment,

$$M.- M;iW- r '' Vub'H'
With a $22,000 income then the
managers of the house spent ; ap
proximately 93.60v.000. It was the
investor's money. The income of the
firm would not even pay for post
age, would not , half pay for "the
firm's -stationery, and was $13,000
less '" than the sum . spent : or
"lunchea" But the business went on
for a year, more deposits were c
eepted and more i Promises made.

himself drew out more than $300,000

AN UNUSUAI PRISONER
uriEN the government wanted
" plans for the Port of Brest dur
ing1 the war they were supplied by
D. -C. Willoughby, industrial engi
neer. ' !j .
, When the Port of New Tork de
sired; plans for the development of
the port- they, too, were supplied
by Mr. Willoughby. s - j
When the London tubes were to
be built Willoughby was on ; tie
ground early and mapped out the
course that the tubes were to fol
low. !
When the Port of Boston was to
be developed it was Willoughby who
supplied plans. S i
"Not so long ago, when the Duke
of Manchester desired to cfuisej lit
was Willoughby's yacht that! carried
him. ' . '. ; " ' : i j
Recently, when a prisoner picked
up a bulky brief case filled with
plans for immense projects and
carried it into the Tombs with him
he was identified as Willoughby. ; v
He had planned Sports for cities,
and . ports for the government; he
had laid out the course of a gigan
tic underground railway system; he
had visioned and prepared plans for
some of the great; projects of his
age; he had been enormously rich
and famed, but in two short years
he had been reduced .to a
signed a bad check, and
pauper,
(entered
prison, there to work out plans, per
haps, for other projects; and 'for his
future life. ;"
It is not known what became of
his riches. It is not known what
reduced him from fame and; wealth
to bad checks and a prison ' garb.
Undoubtedly, it was a mysterious
cnaracxerisxic maaen somewnere ; in
Willoughby's own bosom that
brought him to' his present status.
Fate is indeed ? fickle But . Wil
loughby is another j proof that mor
tals are not blessed usually with all
virtues, and Willoughby's fault or
faults as they may have been, have
proved unusually expensive both to
himself and to the world that he so
capably served before : his fall.

Eaugherty's Ruling Regarding Sena
torial Campaigns Means Lid Is Off
Many Editors Demand Candidates .:
Respect tne Perfectly Well Known
A Popular Witt, i Regardless of
. Whether the Lid la Off or On. .
. ; ; Daily- Editorial Digest 1 1 ",
r (Cseaolidstiid Presa Associstion) '
With NeWberriara so-caUed! al
ready, an issue in senatorial campaigns.
Attorney '. CJeneral Daugherty has com
plicated the ; situation by an - 'opinion
which Republican editors frankly recog
nize as dangerous. His ruling that the
corrupt practices act does not apply te
Uie campaign expenditures of senatorial
candidates is interpreted by most Demo
cratic and numerous-Republican papers
as notice that 'the lid is off." and, as
the Tsew Tork Tribune (Rep) warns, if
it is taken seriously the results mill be
-unfortunate." i . i
The attorney general "gefs an; awk
ward status out of the way" in time to
relieve his political . confreres, as -the
Chattanooga News (Dem.) sees-it, for by
this ruling "the restrictions so patiently
worked out have been swept away and
the fold order restored." with Mr.
Daugherty, the : Philadelphia - Record
InL Dem.) says, dreaming of . a re
version to the days, of "unlimited1 cam
paign funds", with: Which to make the
senate a millionaries' i elub? with! huge
initiation fees payable from the. dough
bag." Certainly the new ruling makes
possible, if it does ;not actually invite.
the spending of jpney iwithout Stint."
the Scranton Times i (Dem.) thinks, i arid
it it is applied the Minnesota Star Min
neapolis, Ind.) predicts' "a fnerryi' time
til is summer for" "the old campaign
barrel will be full to) overflowing for the
faithful, " and we may expect several
campaigns which will make Newberry's
In Michigan) look like a piker's."
-
It is, however, obviously unfair to at
tack the attorney (general because of
the ruling, the Baltimore Sun (Ind.
Dem.) points out. since 4t is merely, an
interpretation of a j supreme court de
cision, and. In the opinion of the paper,
he has "probably done a public service
by construing the law as it new stands,"
for he has thus "forced the issue." That
Newberryism" will be an issue "can
not be gainsaid," the! Ohio State Journal
(Columbus, Rep.) declares: "it cannot
be kept out, j it is doubtful if it - cart be
even minimised in any single state,1 land
doubtless before the campaign makes
great progress senators will learn that
there - is f ajt more j resentment in j the
minds of the voters ! over the Newberry
case than they had been willing to
admit." i . . j .
Inded- the ; "voice ' i of the "people- lhas
Already been i heard" on that issue, the
Wheeling Register !Dem.) thinks, and
its meaning was unmistakable in In
diana." The Grand Rapids Herald
(Rep.) agrees that ifcasli register poli
ticians are not in (Vogue just now," a
point which ex-Senator Beveridge made
perfectly plain" when he "put his cam
paign axjUarely on a basis of ending
political money armaments" and won.
It has ceased to be politically safe,"
the Herald continues, "to trademark
candidacy for public; office with dollar
signs. A too liberal campaign treasury
has become a liability instead of : an
asset"- j
Since this is the? popular attitude at
the beginning of rbeacamparisfn it must
be recognised, the Detroit News (Ind.)
holds, that "the people are Insisting, tnat
no office in the land shall be purchased,
and Specifically that Newberp-ism be
made utterly impossible m ract as it is
already in morality .f The New York
TribtJne (Ren.) demands that "every
candidate for of f ice j high or low. must
submit an account of the expenses m-t
curred in his behalf during the cam
paign. It makes nd difference whether
the office sought is that, of president.
senator, or what not." If, as -the at
torney general's ruling seemrf to bring
out, i"th law does! not require this,";
then i . "an amendment to the corrupt
practices act ia needed"
t But while 'congress may pass a taw
to overcome the failure of the federkl
corrupt practices UcC such laws, In the
opinion of the Wukes-Barre Record
(Rep.) "are usually a rarce" ana "can
not be relied upon as the sole remedy,
because no law can prohibit ingenious
evasion." "Senators who have not spent,
or for whom has not been spent, more
than the law allows' for their nomina
tion and election," I the Knickerbocker
Press (Albany. Ren. Suspects "are prob
ably very rare, so the formal filing; of
statements of receipts-and expenditures
under the law has been in many cases a
mere legal fiction which deceived very
few, bet gave the dtetingntshed states
man a comfortable alibi." j
Admittedly there is "a multitude j of
nroblema that must
be faced in draft-
ing a workable law
to prevent - unwar
ranted expenditures of large sums to iaf
fect the choice of ihe electorate,": the
Springfield -(Mass.) Union (Rep.) Bays,
but that does ' not ', detract from fhe
wisdom and propriety"'; of expressing
th nriWfni in lawi While "it is, im
possible to lay down any rule as to what
ought to he spent on a campaign, mny
more than to lay down a rule ae to what
a doctor's bill should .be," the Adrian
(Mich.) Telegram (Ihd.) concedes that
"a maximum, nowever, snoum ue pf
scribed by - law and enforced," since
"that is necessary m order to prevent
abases." but "that maximum should not

ington correspondent for the Oregoaian,
President Harding and most : of the
Irreconcilables. including Senator Lodge,
are edging closer to the ierue ol (Na
tions, and will welcome any idea that
will lead them to it provided the i Re
publican fparty can get the credit .for
the noble; piece of work on behalf of the
Peace of the world, .it :
i ."The feeling ia not confined to ) the
League of-Nations advocates," Bays Mr,
Sullivan, "but is slmoet general.! lit
is rrtrongly ;,,' taken by the Republican
leaders ; who put 'the fortunes of the
Harding- ' administration ;-above ! every
thing In Europe, but who new feel that
a too prolonged continuance of the ;'out
of Europe policy wilt do serious dam
ae to Harding's prestige. - '
"That prestige rests on confidence - in
Harding's personal reputation for: good
i faith as much as on any other- factor.
And if Harding has meant anything by
his repeated declarations about an asso
ciation i of ., nations .; and about being
helpful to -Europe, now Is the time to
make good on them." J -
, So! we are informed that the welfare
of the Harding administration has been
placed before principle and the welfare
of the world at large. Peace and pros
perity for the people who have suffered
from years of war are as nothing .com
pared to the success of the administra
tion. Rut it is pleasing to the - average
cithten to knew that the president has
at last seen the futility of hi efforts to
hang onto a lesderahip when (there was
nothing to lead. . It has been clear to
the people for some time that until the
United States assumed ts share of the
world's burdens it could not hope to
prosper upon the world's misfortunes;
America must take her place among the
nations and aid in restoring the eco
nomic balance, and this cannot be done
without toinina? hands with our friends

OREGON, 1923 j
A Statement of Advantages to .the State
Claimed as Sure to Result '
From a Fair. r . ; j '
Portland. May 23.--.To the Editor of
The journal Oregon, the "mother state"
of the Great Northwest, has a popula
tion pf only 783,389 and an area ofajs.
699 square miles, or nearly 8u; acres, for
every; man, woman and child. While the
valuej of her products has more than
doubled in the last 10 years, her popula
tion has increased only 16 per cent,
hardly more than her natural; increase.
It matters not what may be the natural
wealth of a country, it takes men! of
brain . and muscle to convert it into
riches. Our population cannot increase
fast enough without immigration. Ore
gon, owing to its climate and, diversity
of sotl and agricultural products, offers
the greatest advantages to immigrants
who seek a permanent home. This class
of - immigrants "Should be sought, i In
Kome sections our farmers are land poor;
If tHey! could sell one half ; of their
poorly cultivated lands and use the
money to improve the remaining half,
they would make more money than they
do now ! on -the whole. "We have thou
sands of acres of wild land capable of
supporting a large population. Espe
cially are these lands adapted to fruit
ranches ' and stockralsing. We need a
class ' of homeseeking agricultural Im
migrants.; il
It is reasonable to suppose hat Ore
gon in doubling; her population would
double her assessable values.'. So. at
our present rate of taxation, the revenue
would double. The cost of administer
ing the government would not increase

TWO FARES FOR ONE RIDE
Linnton,. May 15. To the Editor of
The Journal On Sunday, May 4. I was
on Russell street, on the east side, and
when I came to. take the St- Johns car
home I got aboard the front ear which
was so crowded that where were ho seats,
I saw the rear car had plenty. of seat
room left, so, after paying my "fare. $
cents, I told the conductor I would go
back on the rear car so I could sit down.
After riding three or four blocks I went
back to the conductor on the rear car.
Then I learned something. He asked me
if I got a transfer from the first con
ductor. Confessing my ignorance, I told
him I had. not, ' for the simple reason I
never knew before that one hadi to have
a transfer in such a case. ,So I watched
my chance and asked the i first ieondue
tor for! a transfer, but he failed, to. give
me one: perhaps he did not have time.
So I was obliged, to pay anotber$-cent
fare orj go back to the first car ana
stand up. . ' ;'l
Now i I hope this will teach someone
else to beware of this usage !i of . the
company. I ; wonder how many- .more
get stung this way. No more for me.
Knowing The Journal for fairness, I aafc
you to i please print this for other-people's
benefit. ; Edward H. White.
