OR three months Senator Stan- field ha absented himself from the senate chamber. In the period many measures of importance' have been .under consideration. Admin istration leaders have sent out ap ! peals to absentees to get. on the job. "All of which have failed, to arouse Mr. Stanf ield to any ;sense of-; public responsibility. "?Ie left Washington about April V S,Murrylng to Oregon, he said, in ; s anticipation of the arrival of Eu Jrene , Meyer " of the War Finance corporation. Meyer evidently was ' not much impressed by this show of courtesy, since, it will be re called, he refused to attend a din ner arranged for "him in Portland if; Senator Stanfield was to be a 1. . tptes. " " . - ""Our" Junitrr senator then turned ' .t0hiaprivate affairs, largely ad inmistered from his headquarters " inAVeiser. Idaho, which, excepting ' certain futile sparticipation In the May "primaries;, s since have contin ued to absorb his attention. ' ,This three months period is - not the first time Mr. Stanfield has been notably absent from duty. II Jook office March ,4. 1921. ,The V congress .was called ; into session " April 11 and so remained until August 24, and "from September 21 ' to November 23.. Stanfield wasab--sent from June '14 to July 11; from 'August 18 to August 24; from Sep- ' tember 21 to, October 19, and from - Kovember to November 23. That Is, "during the 55 working days ' between VSepteoiber 21 and " Novmberr43;Stnftld was' In the - senate only 14 days. Curing the brief time he was in the capital the - senate records show that on 48 roll ; . calls he responded to but 26. How long could one hold a job in private life with such an absentee record? f Is sot the state of Oregon entitled - to some consideration from its Junior senator? It is true that he Is a fine flower of partisan politics; , that-many of the 116,606 people who voted for; him in November, . 19 20, id so injanswer to the siren call that there must be a Repub lican senate. Thus It is that Oregon ousted Senator Chamberlain, whose record ot achievement" ' during his two " terms 1n Office had been rarely equaled In the history of the sen : ate, and replaced him by one whose -only Recommendation was that he . was, a Republican, Md who, tince -:t hi elevation to office "15 months ' ago, has shown an absolute disre " gard of responsibility -toi bis scon ; tUuency. f,:i It is for such members of eon "gressiaa Senator Stanffeld. that, the - Harding' administratton' must "an"-- swef I at the November electiori; And it does not relish tne'respon- slbility. ' V. It is tlmo for Mr. Stanfield to detera!n7rhetBer he wijl attend s to his senatorship or his sheep. : WHJSRg HIS . UOTJUARS: WENT SOlJMON SCHOEBAUST came to America from Roumania "0 years ago. He toiled hard and after a ., time ' became- comparatively wealthy; . i: x- - A few weeks ago-Mr, Schoebaum decided .to return to the; land ot his - nativity: for la visits . Ho ;took with him a considerable sum of money, engaged first class passage across the, ocean,, and Uyed la lux-. ury. , He was enjoying: th fruits of Jhis" years of toiL j " "Mr. Schoebaum -came back to America a few" days ago. f But he didn't return. In luxury. He came second class r and with but a few dollars' te" his -pockets .. - :: -K. -y After ,hia arrival In Roumanla the traveler jfound 210 younr women on the verge of starvation. They had no clothes, ; and, -therefore, could not secure jobs. He went down Into his pocket and furnished the funds to clothe them all. He heard ' of 200 cripples In homes for the aged also without clothing. . They were victims of pogroms. It wasfsaidi The former Roumanian also clothed them. And he came home second, class. There is ah. abundance of greed in America. Every day there are instances of suffering from the greed of those who suck the very life blood from the poor. Many a dark pieture is drawn with dol lars.' It is for that reason espe cially that it is refreshing to hear of a Schoebaum who sacrifices his own comfort - for those In greater need. , . - The Dalles fruit processors and canners can't get all the help they need. This ought to suggest some thing to somebody who is looking for a job.1- 1 . . "f A DISCOtTRAGINQ SIGN WHAT does Mr. Harding think of recent addresses of his secre tary of war ? Mr. Weeks has attacked the primary law. He has attacked blocs in congress. He has attacked the prohibition law. He has at tacked progress in government generally. He has urged a return to the days of old, the convention system, party government regard less.of thexnass party attitude, and all the things" that west with poli trn nf 50 vwirs afo. His addresses. however,. hayetirred up a lively criticism all over the country and have resulted in a demand in the senate for the secretary's resigna tion. Anciently the character of the king determined the course of the history of the time. He had the power to rule, and use of that power bent conditions in the nation in. a good way or in a bad way. " Mr. Weeks attacks on the direct primary are effort to' get power away from -the mass and lodge it back In the hands of politicians in a convention; The convention makes the ruler, and the ruler makes the history of theVtime. ' With their direct primary power, the mass has been acting badly, to Mr. Weeks' way of . thinking. It beat New. It chose Pinchot and Brookhart. It is going to beat other hardboils Jand name more progressives. , IUls going to write history made of, by and for the people, if still allowed to retain the direct primary. That is the secret of Mr. Weeks' attack and all ther other attacks on the direct primary. Does the president agree with Mr. Weeks' view of government re form ? Does he, too, think we should turn the clock back and re turn to the days of 1860? Does he sponsor the secretary's addresses or does he disapprove? The people of this nation have more power in government now than they ever had before. They are gradually taking to themselves more power, and gradually remov ing it from Wall street. It is not likely that the mass has any idea of returning the power to Big Business, and the Weeks proposals are not encouraging suggestions to come from a member of the presi dent's cabinet. Two Dutch farmers in South Africa in 30 months dug a tunnel 550 feet long, 6 feet high and 7 feet wide through the rocky, ledge tha separated their farm from Great Fisli river. They built a 130-foot weir across the river and a siphon 200 feet long and 30 inches in diameter through the; river. They provided thus a water system for the irrigation of 5000 acres. And they didn't ask for a cent of gov ernment aid, either." TEN TEARS LATE PORTLAND business men, said President Penrose of Whitman college, are so opulent and obese, so prosperous and slumberous, so well fed , and content, that a mere matter such as a Columbia river waterpower project could hardly be expected to interest them. But wasn't . tho Inland Empire educator somewhat ' behind the times? Had he used the words in 1912 instead of before the Cham ber of Commerce of 1922 hia ut terance would have been nearer the, truth. ; . Portland in the years gone by did indeed grow' fat upon-ther business yields of her hinterland. It is true there was a time when the state-j rnent tnat tnts is one 01 me ncnest - . L. .... . - - . - "..---. cities per : capita, ln: America was coupled with reproach that we ab sorbed like a blotter or a sponge and with as, little sign of apprecia tion. 'V- " ' -: ' ' But if Dr, Penrose will remain in Portland a. short time and come in. contact with business houses and business .organizations he will find & new era.' Portland has changed. She-has built great terminals and elevafcofnvHtor the - service . of the hUitferlandi "She : has " led In the movement for" paved . highways and is to pay for third ;of all built In Oregon.! .Her Jobbing concerns and banks extend the heartiest kind of cooperation to the outside reaches of Portland's trade territory.-' ' ! There was a 'time"; when impor tant enterprises for "development of the Northwest often ' began outside Portland and aid was. looked for from other sources, but -that coo dition is no longer true. . President Penrose's challenge has been ' met in advance. STILLS AND STILLS i Aw- PORTLAND " prohibition en forcement officer arrested a farmeir on : a charge of ..having, a stiil iii f ull operationv P " The farmer was put on trial for violation of the dry law. It turned out that he -fwas heating water in a wash boiler to scald a pig," and that a barrel "of sour mash found by the barn was proved by evidence at thetrial to have been a barrel of feed for his livestock. i AH this was charged by an as sistant district attorney r in th Portland federal court. The same official ; related that one enforce ment officer was alleged to have used a search warrant in entering an innocent man's home, and that the same warrant was used in en tering another man's house. It Is j a wonderful arrangement when a farmer can't heat water In his wash boiler or keep feed ire soak in. a barrel without being haled into court and put on trial on a charge of running a still. It has! a . delightful effect in making the farmer love his country. It is also an especially effective thing for an enforcement officer to search an Innocent man's house.: That, too. is a wonderful way to; make the suspected citizen cherish the' republic Thus, some dry agents move in their mysterious way their wonders to perform. Are they presently go ing to the, length in 'which, if a farmer grows corn, he will be sus pected of having a still on the place? Or if he grows grapes or loganberries, he will be put under espionage as a winemaker? . There ought to be in every dry agent such a trait as reasonable discretion and some discrimination. There is no influence that will do more to make sentiment against the prohibition law than such blun ders as an assistant district attor ney declares have been made by dry enforcement officers in Oregon. The prohibition amendment has not superseded the whole constitu tion of the United States, and the sooner the fact is made clear to some of the irresponsible dry agents the better it will be for the cause of prohibition. ALTERED ENTRANCE TESTS PRESIDENT OGILBT of Trinity college proposes to make the institution of which he is head an educational establishment in fact as well as in name. He is teaching the students, a thing or two about dress as well. as how to produce something for the world as a price of their being here. One fool student attended the senior promenade without a dress suit. He was immeditely ordered off the floor by the discriminating president. What business had a student at a dress affair in a busi ness suit? And if he didn't "have money enough to buy a dress suit or rent one what does he expect to learn anyway? In fact, why is he in college. It might be in line with the Trinity policy to change entrance requirements at colleges. At most Institutions students are admitted on evidence of sufficient knowledge and capacity to master the course of study. Perhaps President Ogilby of Trinity believes the requirements should be altered and students ex amined on the size of their pocket books rather than the extent of their brains. Let them bring a sack of boodle to school and they need no examination as to their capacity to learn. And certainly our institutions are hot going to jeopardize their fair names by, permitting students to go to school who cannot afford to dress in swallowtails. What would people think of an Institution any way that permitted ambitious but poor young men and women to loiter about In the way of those who were born with gold spoons in their months? GOLD OF THE CAPTAIN KXDDS rIS rapidly becoming the fad to search for buried riches. An expedition left the east coast only a week ago to prospect for reported gold- in Africa. " It seems that one of the party became lost some years ago. ort that continent, and. deep In a ravine, stooped to drink from a brook. . On the bot tom "he saw a glitter, reached down and brought to the surface a hand ful ; of gold. The " expedition Is bound for- that land -of - mystic wealth. , . '-.' "Two- expeditions' are. after : the treasure reported lost ort the Lusi tanta. One Is an' American troupe. Another is English. J They hope to operate for a few weeks and bring to the surface enormous wealth & Afew days ago another mysteri ous craft put out from the east coast. It was bound for an island near Noyar Scotia, where. It Is said, SS 0,0 00,0 00 in treasure is buried beneath the-eartlu. -.The treasure is supposed to have been buried years and years ago by chiefs of a'La. Un American country to prerenT its possible capture in one of the ttw numerable wars of the time.!' . Indeed, ther are beautiful day' dreams in ' adventurous quests for reported treasures. Usually, how ever, they are no more than day dreams. In the meantime many a man could have built a fortune with the time and energy th at -was spent in a - futile search for the burled gold of the Captain Kidds. POST-MORTEM ON .BANKERS' MEET - AT PARIS Though : Immediately Futile, Editors Believe. That It Cleared the Air and. 'Revealed Bases on Which a Re " - assembled Council of Financiers ; :'' ? ;'Uay IUachaii Agreement R--..:':- -gar-ding Credits to Europe's - -." Impecunious "'Realms. Daily Editorial Digest ' . (Conaelidatad Proa Association s -" j; With the opening of the conference at The Hague the editors of the coun try's; seem disposed to hold a post mortem on the recent bankers meet ing in Paris. For the most part they seem convinced that, the plan for an international loan to stabilize exchange, which fell through because Ue finan ciers could not reach an agreement on suggestions for necessary security, has merely been deferred, and not killed. With the views of the bankers known to' the world it is believed that new ne gotiations - to meet . their views will be part of the conference now in progress at The Hague. a a a America is willing to lend to Ger many to help the world in generai." the Indianapolis News believes, "but it is not willing to give money to Germany for Germany's advantage alone. If Germany is helped it should be helped into a condition where it can pay its debts. Again it comes down to a ques tion of good faith.' The various con flicting positions and claims make it impossible for the United States to loan money to Germany, in the opinion of the Mobil Register, which insists that, in order to prepare even a groundwork for Such a move, "the allies owe it to themselves to make their financial pro gram more definite, and Germany owes it to herself to revise her currency and render her assets more orderly." Americans as a. people, while not cons cerned officially in .the fate of the European peoples. are willing, the Terf Haute Starbelieves, to "give as slst&nce to the extent that helpfulness is justified. Europe knows exactly what is our proposition in regard to a loan, and. it is a sound one. - They can take it or leave it." If Germany expects to receive sub stantial aid and to climb back into the international band wigon," the Cincint nati Enquirer is convinced, "she must come . clean with reparations and do some " vigorous financial house-cleaning at home." The attitude of the French i government toward the loan, however, 18 responaiDie xor its laiiurc, uiw um ton News, points out,, at "banking is strictly a business .proposition" and the bankers would "like to improve security for a loan to Germany, by getting some relief frdm the mortgage placed on Germany by the peace treaty. The French government stands in the way of this desire of the bankers." A similar view is entertained by the Win nipeg Tribune, when suggests that "it is Just upon the point of the translation of tbe whole question frOrh the political sphere to the realm of finance that the proposition for a foreign loan has failed for the time being, and again it is Franee that, blocks the way, "to her own loss and the continued distraction kof Europe." To insure success to any loan -all of the European nations must make concessions, the Oakland Tribune believes, pointing out that "it is plain that the allied nations do not view floating of the proposed loan as Im portant as their political interests in volved in the program of reparations, That being the case we should feel no regret that the loan project has been dropped. When the several nations in volved are willing to yield a little here and there in their political aspirations In order to solve economic and finan cial questions it will be time to talk pf a loan, the major part of which must be floated Jn the United States." i Evidence seems to be increasing. In the opinion of the Deseret (Salt Lake City) News, that "the nations of the world arc losing the power of patience. The world is fctrugglinsr to put off crises. In the hope that the future will reveal some opportunity to evade them." And the prevailing. American attitude, the Manchester Union says, is "not one expressive of eagerness to intrude, to dictate, to force ourselves upon Europe, but one of willingness to assist if, and when, assistance is asked and is practically possible." But the Cleveland Plain Dealer is convtneed that "the certainty that there will be no loan is discouraging. It now seems to be up to Germany to devise her own means of payment. France be lieves that what is most lacking is a German inclination to pay.'" a . a That a loan eventually will be de vised with all of the European powers agreeing to conditions is the convic tion of the Worcester Telegram, which points out that J. P. Morgan has an nounced his willingness to resume ne gotiations, and adds that "in the pres ence of such authority it may be ven tured that the allies will, within a time not too long, harmonize their differ ences and show respect for the Morgan expert view of what constitutes good security if they really do want Ger many to have that loan." And the gathering of the international bankers was worth while, the Richmond Times Dispatch says, as "they have at any .rate given these responsible parties and the world the benefit of an expert analysis of Europe affliction, and that alone ought to justify their confer ence.' The bankers have done their part, the New Tork Times suggests, in that they have pointed out tkat "private investors in such a loan will require more certainty in Germany's schedule of payments than now exists. Also it is essential that. the whole large question of international' war debts be considered in any far-reaching financial plan. If in the future the governments are disposed to meet the terms of the bankers the latter will be ready to renew, their efforts." -,. The analysis by the bankers, ' the Baltimore Sun is convinced, was de signed chiefly for French consumption, and it characterises the "presentation of the subject as so reasonable and conservative that it ought to make a strong impression, it would seem, on French public sentiment, and as the committee holds itself ready to take up the subject again on the unanimous invitation of the reparations commis sion, the door is left open'., to the French government for a renewal of the negotiations." , In the meantime, the Wichita Eagle asserts, European finances "continue their dizzy tobog gan toward chaos. When the, bottom of the slide is reached there will be a loud report. - When the smoke clears away .there will be a new Franee-and a new Germany, smiling' sickly smiles at one another. It will be hard, on the world, but France seems bent, en see ing - what is ' at - the bottom ' of the toboggan, f However, in the opinion of the New Tork Tribune, it was Ger many's impossible security that blocked a successful loan,- and it declares that "it is clear that Germany will have to acquire character and a reputation for Integrity before the average foreign In vestor will lend her money on the somewhat violent assumption that there is any virtue either in her word or her bond. The failure of the ne gotiations, the New Tork Globe says, brings us back to the question of the United States wiping out the debt Owed by the allies, saying that ."Amer ica' has it is her power to secure a rovijtinn " of the re o rations bill if she wUl consent to a revision of her Own bill against her former allies and as-, soclates. Only in this way, apparently. can we checkmate the French national ists, who now seem willing to make Europe a desert rather than abate-one centime of their claims against- Ger many." , , ......... .

Portland, une 29. To the Editor of The Journal A recent biographer,, writing of the firm of which his subj ject is a member, says : . ' " ' "No other firm -on the "Pacific coast has had such a ; notable history; per haps no other in tho Unites States. - It has sent four of its members to the United States senate and one to the United States district court bench ; one was a congressman and fater United States district attorney for years, and one has served - a term as mayor of Portland after a 'term in the United States senate." - - : t ' s ?: He also says: "It was a political; as well as a legal firm. A list of the political offices held by one or anothwV of the firm for 40 years,. almost continuously, was given as fol lows: . . ' I-. , -; . : John H. Slitchell, United States sen ator, 18 years. ' , ' J. N. Dolph, United States senator, 12 years. .. . John M. Gear In, United States sen ator, oart of a term. . " C. B. Bellinger, United Spates district judge for many years. Rufus Mallory, member Oregon house of representatives, district attorney for this county. United States district at torney and member of the United States house of reDresentatives. Joseph Simon 1877, city councilman for three years: 1878. secretary Ke publican .state central committee; 1880, 1884 and 1886, chairman of same; 1892, delegate to Republican national convention : 1800. detente to Renubli- can national convention l, 1892 to 1896, member Reoublican national commit tee; 1S80 to 1898, state senator from .this county ; 1889, 186U 1885. 1897 and 1898, president of the senate ; 1898, United States senator for six years; 1909, mayor of this city, lor one term. Fully 100 years sucking pure butter- fat from the public teat by this one "political as well, as legal firm," and do you suppose the combined tenures of office of the beneficiaries of the political machine which ruled the Re publican (and often tbe Democratic) politics of this state was less than 1000 years?;, Isn't that renouglv or do you. want-this or some ether ypoJitical as well as legal firm" to have -more of it? It's wonderful how they do it- to ! those who do not understand the ins and -outs of politics! Wonderful about the Hohenzollerns, the Haps burgs and the sultan of Turkey! Not one word does the biographer say, how ever, as to any distinguished services or- accomplishments by any of these honorable gentlemen on behalf of the people whom they. were supposed to represent not even a word fop poor old Senator MitcheU, "the noblest Ro man of them all !" Perhaps the less said the better, anyway. Now, Mr. Lawyer, nothing of this sort has occurred since tho direct pri mary law became effective, but such conditions will recur if the law is ham strung, as is sought to be done by a vociferous lot of politicians and news papers for selfish purposes of various sorts ; and when that - Is accomplished, the old machine, which "is not dead but sleepeth," will be in operation again, and when you want a nomlna tion for any ( of fie, "in the- gift of the people"- God save the mark ! you will ask "What isthepTlce?, ?And you will be teld straight from the shoulder whether you can have that "privilege,' Men have been broken in more ways than one because they dared question the power or devious methods of the machine. John H. Mitchell was only a conspicuous example of the multi tude along that line. The Judiciary-of this state, from the supreme court clear down to justices of the peace, have been practically free from political in fluences ever since the primary law became effective, and you know of a certainty that such condition did ' not prevail before. Outside of that sink of iniquity which we call "the legisUt' tur" practically all the officers of the law are free from partisan Influences, and their collective qualities have im proved materially meantime. Jack Matthews said, in objection to the law, "It puts us fellows out of business." Don't you think we had better keep them out? You know how; turn in and do it. J. E. Hunt STILL THE FRIEND OF THE DIRECT PRIMARY From tba Aitoria Budget 'What reforms would our esteemed neighbor, the Budget, make? asks the Oregonian in the course of an editorial commenting upon the Budget's discus sion of the direct primary. . The Budget is not posing as a politi cal wiseacre nor as a doctor of re forms. Neither can it qualify as one of those super-critics who can detect the evils of every organization or sys tem and prescribe a remedy for every evil. It can, . however, like the average citizen who lets tbe light of. reason drown out the darkness of prejudice, see- the wrongs, the objectional parts and the errors which advertise them selves glaringly. Therefore, though It is a staunch friend of the direct pri mary, it can see that the nominating! system, as it operates under the pres ent law, is not perfect. Seeing Its im perfections, the Budget is not afraid frankly to acknowledge them, and it did just that in the editorial from which the Oregonian quotes. This paper is offering no remedy for the ills of the direct primary, for the very sufficient reason that it hasn't devised any solution that might not re sult in greater objections than those it seeks to correct, and it greatly pre fers the direct primary as it is. to the old convention system as it was. This is the particular difference), in the at titude of the Budget and the attitude of the Oregonian. The Oregonian rather objects to the doctrine that the revision of a system or law should be attended to by its friends rather-than its enemies. By the same token, we 'suppose, the Ore gonian Would advise an operation by a surgeon whose personal Interest would be served by the death of the patient rather than by one interested In. sav ing the patient for future usefulness. The enemies of the direct primary want to kill It, not cure it of its ailments, and re-enthrone ther old .convention system. - " -l:- Very well, let them If they can, but let them not jiose as friends of the di rect primary interested in making it a more 'perfect instrument, - we still in sist that that mission, can best be per formed by its friends. . - DO FARMERS USE THE COUNTY AGENTS?

Once Overs i How , About Compliments From the , . Wife? ' Much is written about how necessary it is for a husband to extend a compli ment once in a' while to his wife, if she is to be made really happy. - There seem to be no writers who say that a wire snoujd show by compli mentary remarks that she appreciates the good, kind acts of her husband. " A man never grows so old that he does not appreciate recognition for any particularly good thing he may have done, and It is doubly enjoyed as com ing from ma wife. j--., . Most wives - take it as; a matter of course that their husbands make un usual advancement; indeed, they com plain, and bitterly, if the husbands do not reach'. the positions of prominence the wives think they aftould have. After a long struggle a man, haw ing completed any attainment which might have been bis goal, is not made happy by such enthusiastic words . as these from his wife : , "Good I - JNow I can have that car I have always want-" ed for my own use" i Or, -This will allow me to get that ring like Mrs. So-and-So's which I have wanted so long" ; or. "Now I can entertain all 1 wish." --- AH words of praise are sweet, natu rally, but the greatest compliment-any man wantst is from his wife when she says, "Whatever you do is Just right td me."
