Stands Forth as Real

Washington. Sept. 9. ( WASHING
TON BURKAU OK THE JOURNAL)
The meeting of the third assembly of
the League of Nations at Geneva Is
again bringing: to Attention the awk
ward position of the United States in
Its effort to hold aloof- from world
affairs when the stability and well-being
of all nations is the topic for dis
cusslon, although Ambassador George
Harvey is occasionally sent as an ob
server at meetings of the allied lead
ers, and R. W. Boyden sits around and
even speaks when the reparations com
mission talks over economic recon
struction. - For ' a long .time Secretary Hughes
left communications from the league
unanswered. Finally communication
was established through a neutral
country which brought some of the
questions needing answer to the offi
cial attention of Mr. Hughes. From
this lefthand method, the secretary
has now progressed to writing a letter
direct to the league.
Exited states aid asked
" :" This letter was . one requesting the
participation of the United States in a
conference for discussion of the sub
ject of prohibiting the private manu
facture of guns and munitions of war.
Explaining that th;s country has an in
terest In the subject, he sidesteps be
cause it is proposed by the league. But
the league, unsqu-lciied. is goine ahead
and performing its work, 'hampered of
course by the attitude of the Ameri
can government, but steadily con
' founding its critic--.
This may be illustrated by a few
.questions and answers:
H a a the league "aused any wars? No.
Has it settled any disputes which
might have led to war? Yes, several,
the Aland islands, Silesian boundaries,
and others:
Has it acted or attempted to act as a
super-state? No. -
Has it Interfered '.v,th the sovereignty
or Independence of any nation, or- tried
to ' do so? No.
PRACTICAL firEStI,TS
Has it done anything practical? Yes,
- many things. It da established the in
ternational court of justice, it is work-
o ing-oflj a plan of general disarmament,
it is establishing better methods of
-disease control, it. is building up bar
riers against narcotics and poisonous
drugs, it Is assisting Ins economic . re
habilitation of exhausted countries, it
, is extending the agreements against
- ireff te.ii, s&fliea - u. children, it has
collected a great ' amount of valuable
data on an international basis on these
nnc other problems with which it will
deaiL
The league is ' Mead" only for the
-United States, and this country' ap
pears now to have learned that it ex
ists, since a note has been written to
It. Five or six other nations are still
.Outside, including Mexico, which has
n'ot been Invited to join ; Hungary and
Germany, which knock for admission;
and Russia, which, unrecognised by
-other nations, has nevertheless as
sisted in some of the matters requested
- by the league.
Meanwhile the league has, had fb
build its organization from the ground
tip. and it has had a lltie more (ban
two years In -which to do this and to
begin its work on the greatest prob
lems that the world has to offer. The
work is largely preliminary, of course.
for such a task can be little more than
scanned in two years. Friends of the
league say that 10 years is not too long
a time to allow ior testing-time and
adjustment. It took about that long
for the United Staies to grope its way
to security and assuredness after the
constitution was adopted, (bough the
process of amendment Is progressive
and never-ending. .
Observers are pointing out that the
assembly of the' league is gradually
taking a larger, influence than it
had in the early conceptions, when
the council of nini eight without the
United States was assumed to be all
Important. The assembly, in which all
. member nations re represented, is
unquestionably ga'ning in authority.
AS INDEPENDENT
Group of Electors at Saturday
Night Meeting Indorse
Marsfifield Senator.
- Charles Hall of Marshfield was for
mally named as an independent can-
dldate for aovernor at a meeting held
: Saturday night at Pythian liall. One
hundred and sixty qualified electors
-were present! W. S. Ebert of Forest
' Grove was in the chair. .ndM J.
- George, the Republican county chair
man of Washington county, was sec
retary. A platform was adopted which
Indorsed the ecompulaory public school
education 1:!1.
Thus t he rumors that have been
current si me Hall threw up the, guber
natorial rn-ount contest that he ulti
mately would be found in the race as
an. independent, are erystaliii into
fact.
His independent candidacy makes
imminent a new brawl in the guberna
torial situation, in view of the statute
denylns to the defeated candidate in
the party primaries the right of run
ning Independently for the same of
fice at the evuing general election.
Although, the constitutionality of this
law is questioned. It has never been
tested In the courts. Thus more liti
gation may follow, before Hall finds
a place on tle November ballot.
Hall was not present at the meeting
His acceptance of the nomination is
expected, la view- of the public state
ment he made when the recount con
test blew up. In. which he stressed the
fact that h . 'would not dodge the

Dead Wife
S. A. Scott Shoots Himself on
Grave of Mate Who Died
Last May.
"Stay for. me there ; I shall not fail
To meet thee in the hollow vale."
What haunting grief has been assail
ing the heart of Sidney A- Scott of No.
209 East. 53d street north for months
was dramatically revealed last night
when his body was found toppled upon
the grave of Nellie May Scott, his wife,
who died on May 6. When William T.
Barker of No. 40 East 12th street north
passed through Rose City Park ceme
tery about 8 :45 o'clock he came upon
the body huddled across the mound.
Beside It lay a rifle. A bullet wound
In the chest, near the heart, told the
remainder of the story.
Scott had been engageB in the con
tracting business for years and was
well known in the building trade.
FlflWEHS PLACED Olf GRAVE
Although his friends and associates
knew he was grievously stricken by
the dath of his wife, few realized that
this grief had such a hold upon him.
That he had performed some rite ' of
devotion to his dead wife prior to the
shot was indicated by the fact that
three vases of freshly-cut flowers were
standing on the grave. He had folded
his raincoat and laid it near the head
of. the grave as if to pillow his hefad
.upon it. Then, apparently, he had
knelt by the grave, and so placed him
self that when he had pulled the trigger
he would fall back upon the coat. In
this, however, he had miscalculated,
for he toppled forward instead of to
the side. The rifle was found parallel
to the grave.
JfOSE KEARD SHOT
Cemetery officiate said they had not
heard the shot. Grave-diggers had
been working at their, grim trade only
a few 'yards away and had finished
their task about 5 o'clock. - It must
have been after that1 hour . that Scott
had slipped in to carry out his Intent
of Joining his 'wife in death, but the
body had grown cold as If the end had
come hours before.

Whatever Scott's private grief might

Dedicates Her Life
To Work Among Lepers
In Japanese Colony
Four thousand feet above the sea in
a lonely spot among the mountains of
Japan is the village of Kusatsu, which
ie the refuge of lepers. Five hundred
of them inhabit this unique munic
ipality and 4here they live their lives,
less wretched than many of the 100,
000 in Japan similarly afflicted be
cause they know their neighbors -are
leprous also anct they have their friends
and their work and their social life. ,
In the midst of this Tortoidding en
viron lives Miss Mary Hi Cornwall
Legh, an English woman who has
dedicated her life and her small means
to lighten this disease burden. She is
one of the Interesting women attending
the Episcopal General-Convention in
Portland, for hers is a life of heroism
and of more than ordinary sacrifice.

; The piteous appeal of the 100,000

and during, her stay .in Portland she is
a guest, in the home of Dr. and Mrs.
Kiehle at their home In Cumberland

i- "Ours Is an entire leper village." said
Kiss Cornwall-Legh. "and that is the
thing the people iike about it. They
dislike more than anything to be looked
upon as different and there they are
not. as they are all known to be af
flicted. u Some ot them cultivate the
ground "around the village and others
run the stores and shops. The village
comprises about 600 souls and of these
half are Christianized. Their cheerful
ness and desire to help others la the

is a constant joy. We have now two

Prellmlnariee are over.. The Epis

down to the task of details. , ": .-
In two short hours Saturday the two
houses ' of the -convention considered
more new matters of vital Importance
to the church than were introduced on
the three preceding days. Delibera
tions; varied from the unanimous vote
in favor of a resolution extending sym
pathy to President Harding because
of his wife's Illness, to animated scenes
in which proposed changes In the
prayer book and constitution were
hotly and fiercely debated. '
Everybody in both hoeses seemed
to be glad when .the adjournment
gavel fell shortly after rnoon. Hun
dreds took advantage of the afternoon
to the Columbia river highway
and other scenic spots about the city.
MATTERS OF MOME3TT ;
Of outstanding interest locally among
the matters considered Saturday was
the proposal in the House f Bishops
to accept the resignation f the itt.
Rev Robert L. Paddock, bishop of
Eastern Oregon; and in the House ef
Deputies the ' proposals, to admit
women as delegates to the General
Convention and to admit women as lay
readers in the church. , Other Imnnrt.r
Jtems heard were the recommendation
commission on healing that the
church .pay more attention to divine
healing, .the resolution forbidding di
vorced members to remarry , as long
as their first companion, lives, agree
ment to reconsider the motion to
grant suffragan bishops the right of
franchise, suggestion that Haiti be
made a missionary' diocese, and, con
sideration in executive session of the
troubles which the Rt. , Rev. Charles
M., Beckwith, bishop of Alabama, has
been having In his diocese over the
trial of a rector for allowing a Jewish
rabbi to speak before his congregation.
JTO ACTIOS TAXEST j ; .
No definite "action was taken on any '
of these matters, the majority of them
being referred to . the various com
mittees. " :.,::,-u'-;f'-;..v. -;,...
The only completed action of the day
of great Interest ! was the concurrence
by the bishops with the house of dep
uties In the : new prayer to be said
regularly for the president of the
United States. The new prayer, how- '
ever, does not supplant the old one.
The rector -will have . the s option of
either prayers hereafter, whenever
prayer is offered for . the president.
The bishops defeated a motion to add
to morning prayer , the, versieles and
responses which come after the- creed
hj evenings prayer. i
The Right Rev. Herman Page, D, D
bishop of Spokane., brought in the re
port of. the special committee appoint
ed to consider the resignation of
Bishop Paddock. The committee ree-
