IASTS ABE CHEERED
The Giants .received what amounted
to a near-ovation, causing some of the
Yankees near. the home plate to smile
sardonically. 'The baseball fan i no
toriously fickle, a great fellow for
climbing aboard.
Jack Scott, erstwhile baseball derer
lijjt, who7, redeemed a precarious past
yesterday by pitching thai best, game
of the series to date, appeared on the
field some minutes behind the rest of
the. Giant squad and was cheered from
the moment he entered the enclosure
until he reached, the bench.

servation, commission and that body
agreed that It would not be necessary
to represent tat the people the' proposed
levies for policemen's relief and pen
sion fund or the special levy for parks
an playgrounds. :
At the night meeting the council or
dered ou the ballot the proposed special
levy! of 3 mills for; general municipal
purposes, and the measure which would
empower the municipal dock commis
sion to lease, for not to exceed a 30
year period lands not needed for harbor
development. - ii
.The modified exposition levy meas
ure wiU go on, as outlined elsewhere.
Representatives of the city employes
requested permission to withdraw the
proposal for a levy to put into effect
the proposed pension retirement system
for-' municipal employes.
Other meaaurts that will go on the
ballot are those providing for the ap
pointment of a second municipal judge ;
one authorizing the refunding of water
ootids and increasing the rate of crea
tion of the sinking fund, and one sim
plifying the method of establishing
grades in streets, etc
The proposal to permit rebonding

At a conference between Deputy City
Attorney Imley ; K. S. Ervin. president
of the Pacific Coast Merchant Tailors'
association ; D. E. Bowman, president
of the Clothiers Association of Ore
gon, and F. P. Tebbetts of the Better
Business Bureau, warrants were issued
for the arrest of Leslie W. Hayes and

Tailoring company, and Monroe Les
ser, Harry Simmons, John Doe Drake
and J. E. Heller, solicitors. The first
two are charged with conducting a
suit lottery, and the solicitors are
charged with selling paper or instru
ments representing a lottery.

activities of the Hayes suit clubs and
the complaints made by persons who
were induced to become members. It
is claimed that misrepresentation has
been ' made to the club members as to
when they would receive their suits
and the actual costs.

FEDERALTAXATIDN
SHOWS NO SIGN OF
Washington. Oct 7. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
At the beginning of the fiscal year 1923.
which ended last June, the appropria
tions of congresB amounted to 3351,-
128,000.
At the beginning of the present. fis
cal year of 1923, the appropriations ag
gregated $3,747,000,060. i The present
year, therefor, has a SiS.O-'W.QOO ; start
over the last.
This does not make ihe record of
complete appropriations. During the
last fiscal year there was a flock of
deficiency bills which added approxi
mately $200,000,000 to the early totals.
That made $4,066,000,000 all told, using
round figures.
This is likely to be another $4,000,
000,000 year before It is finished. The
first deficiency bill has just found its
way through, carrying approximately
$500,000. Some of the things in sight
which are likely to run up the defi
ciency appropriations are $76,000,000 to
defray the cost of scrapping naval ves
sels as soon as Ihe ratifications of. the
four-power pact are exchanged, an ad
ditional $25,000,000 for; good roads,
around $12,000,000 for new river and
harbor work, a public buildings biU of
undetermined amount, the $5,0t 0,000
loan to Liberia, and other things that
may be authorized.
If the Borah amendment for a $20,
000,000 loan to the reclamation fund be
adopted, or the McNary-Smith bill put
on the program, there will be another
substantial increase from that source
for a deficiency bill to carry. There
seems little prospect of any decrease in
Uncle Sam's spending money, despite
the economies which have been en
forced in some branches of the admin
istration. Sayings there have been, but
the spenders enter by another door, and
the nst result in taxes to 'the American
people stands with little change. The
treasury figures a deficitpf $650,000,000
this year, and more the year after.
New Era Seen for
Aviation in the 36-
Hour Plane Flight
San Diego, Oct. 7. (I. N. S.) Be
lief that a new era in aviation. has
been ushered In by the record-
smashing performances of the mon
ster army transport monoplane T-2,
piloted by Lieutenants Oakley Kelly
and John Macready, was expressed by
aviation officers today.
It was pointed out that in setting
the new sustained flight world record
Of 35 hours 17 minutes and 15 seconds
not only had the feasibility of trans
continental non-stop flight been es
tablished, but likewise a one-stop flight
across the Pacific ocean at Hawaii
for xefueling.
.Kelly and Macready not only broke
the sustained flight record by some
thing over nine hours, but also set a
new weight-lifting record for a single
motored plane when the T-2 went aloft
weighing 10,300 pounds. The aviators
still had a margin of gasoline left for
several hours' flying when they came
down last evening, but landed before
dark In order to make sure they would
not damage their machine. They will
attempt the transcontinental flight
early next month, which fog; prevented
this; week.
"We are pleased to have broken two
world records." said Lieutenant Kelly,
"but, naturally, were disappointed that
the fog forced abandonment . of the
coast-to-coast attempt. We feel oer
tain we could have made the trans
continental flight with several ?hun
dred miles of potential flying power to
spare."

LEAGUE DECLARED
SUCCESS WITHOUT
AID OF AMERICA
i By Efjs Ansel Mowrer ,
ISpaeia) Cabte to Tfc Jeeraat aad the iCMcasv
IHBSgvwk, Czisht. .X922.1
Geneva. Switzerland. Oct. 7. Fifty-
one nations In three years have taken
hold of the great idea of a world-wide
association, which -has always obsessed
far-sighted dreamers and made It a liv
ing reality without the aid or the great
American nation. ! The league exists.
It works; it takes up problems of
many kinds and usually' solves- them.
Americana, skeptic, hostile or friendly
are therefore asked today to consider
not what the league might "be but what
the league is regardless of their opin
ion..
Success has brought -confidence and
the same members of the league who
two years ago considered American
participation essential and who a year
ago still dared to hope that President
Harding's promises of an association of
nations jrnigbt'matterialixe and eventu
ally amalgamate with the league, have
how cased to place their hope -on the
United States. They refer frequently
with respect and occasionally with
bitterness to the United States but they
have come to realise, first that some
sort of a league Is absolutely, neces
sary, and second, that there is- no
practical possibility of any league' but
this league. They have teamed
through exerience that they can get
J along without the United States and
theugh they still extend, welcoming
hands, this has become a f omal gesture
merely for they understa'nd how firm
ly the league's opponents in the United
States are interested and it Is not ex
pected that the American republic will
join.
AMERICA PEBPIEXE8
What Is perplexing to the members of
the league is the fact that although in
certain ways - they do not need the
United ' States any more than the
United States needs them, the Amer
ican government -continues to abstain
from any thorough going co-operation
with the only organization which Is
realising many traditional American
policies and embodying the highest and.
most farreachlng hopes To be sure,
the American government- has finally
condescended to favor the league with
an occasional friendly glance. Secre
eary Hughes, unable to shake off such
a persistent suitor, has finally mustered
a faint smile. j
The league's first timid notes went
unanswered ; then followed) curt ac
knowledgments ; then formal refusals
and finally courtesy. The t state de
partment at length has recognised cer
tain of the league activities and has
offered to aid in securing any evidence
within the United States which the
permanent court of international jus
tice may require.. It has even made
capital out of the; league's supervisory
power over the execution of the man
dates and has concluded a treaty in
cluding the entire.-text of the, Japanese
mandate over the islands in the north
ern Pacific ocean. .
Somewhat laboriously the 'American
government has evolved a formula by
which the Ameriqairi public health au
thorities can co-operate in the world
wide Work of standardising the various
forms of antitoxic! serum and has
furnished certain; statistical informa
tion. - Such courtesjf, however, is not
always uniform. The appeal to aid In
regulating- the traffic in arms received
a tardy reply. The appeal to appoint
a commissioner to aid in fighting ?he
white slave traffic remains " un
answered. N The most serious league in
vitation, issued a year ago, sub
mitting a plan by which the United
States might Sit at the permanent
court of International justice without
joining the league ror even contributing
to the secretarial expenses has been en
tombed quietly in the state depart
ment archives without being com
municated to the senate.
PRIVATE AID GIVE!?
Private American opinion and private
initiative have in many cases' outrun
Secretary Hughes. The Rockefeller
foundation has placed money at - the
league's disposal to spend in certain
directions beneficial to the whole world.
The American Red Cross has offered
mopey to the league in appreciation
of fts work In fighting typhus tin Po
land, The American relief adminis
tration made overtures and a money
offer to -the league for cO-operation in
relieving the Russian refugees in Con
stantinople. , ;
Such facts seem sufficiently notable.
Equally so is the- impartiality of the
league in asking for the assistance of
Individual Americans. John Bassett
Moore has accepted a judgeship in the
permanent - court f International jus-
J tlce ; John Elleni Hale, the famous
astronomer, nas servea on m com
mittee for intellectual co-operation ;
Mrs. Hamilton Wright has visited the
league assembly twice as an assessor
of the advisory- committee in tbe Tight
on opium ; Josephine Baker, an emin
ent health authority, takes part in the
work of the leaguefs health committee ;
Dr. "Rupert Bluei assistant surgeon
general, is co-Kprating ir standardis
ing antitoxic sera. . Other Americans
work la the international labor office
and the league's permanent, secretariat
as well' as on various commissions
temporarily. i
EMBODY AMERICANISM
The wish of virtually alt Americans
who have examined the league's ac
tivities, including David Jayne Hill,
one of the league's foremost oppon
ents, today coincides with the wish 'of
the league members. These Americans
would wish the United States lramedi-i
ately to assume the position off a non-J
resident associate or the league.- As
an associate the ;American government
would be entirely i unpledged, free to
co-operate only where It saw fit fcnd
be perfectly unhampered 'in judging
which of the leagne activities corres
ponded -with its ewri national alma,
ambltfons, desires anfl ideals.
It cannot be denied that many, per
haps a majority, of the league activ
ities do embody the American spirit.
The league ia doing work the United
States does' net desire to hamper or
Ignore. The league offers the United
States the wholly! preferential posi
tion of being. In-the league or out of
It at wllL Such a position harinonizes
with Its war tradition asd with the
views -of President I Harding who In a
campaign "speech declared that he
would "take and combine all that Is
good and excise all that is bad" from
court and league. It takes the league
question from ' domestic i politics and
makes it a humanitarian. Issue.

CONGRESS KNOWS
LITTLE OF OREGON,
Washington. Oct. 7. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
The geography of Oregon 14 still in
doubt In the. house of representatives.
Listen to this from the debate on the
new project river and harbor bill, the
Umpqua harbor improvement being un
der consideration :
Mr. Stafford of Wisconsin: Has
this harbor an ocean entrance?
Mr. Damps y of New. York : Yes.
Mr. Stafford: What distance Is It
from the Columbia river? -
Mr. Oempsey : It is a long distance
irom the Columbia river.
Mr. Stafford ; Very few harbors on
the Pacific coast, especially in Oregon,
have entrance directly on the ocean. .
Mr. Dempsey : This has a direct en
trance.
Mr. Stafford : I was wondering
whether there are more than one or
two ports in Oregon that have a direct
entrance.
Mr. Dempsey : I think that Coos
Bay has. but it la separated by moun
tain chains from this harbor.
One i reason for this colloquy was
that the river ekid harbor committee,
lr. the house, had started out with an
arbitrary rule that it would net favor
improvements close together. This was
found: to be inapplicable,-of course, in
the case of Umpqua, which .is close to
Coos Bay on- a scale of miles. Demp-
sey . explained that the mountains be
tween make it as though they were a
thousand miles apart, so far as service
of commercial needs is concerned.
The exact relevance of a harbor hav
ing a "direct entrance" was not dis
closed, unless it be in a remark
dropped by Stafford as to mainten
ance; evidently upon the theory that if
not opening directly, upon the ocean
the cost of maintenance might be ex
cessive.
"There Is a necessity for givhig har
bora Hi Oregon closer attention than or
dinarily would be warranted," said
Dempsey. "This will give the country at
large a supply of timber which they
need and must have, because of the
fact that it can be no longer dependent
on the south. The cutting of timber in
the south reached its height about
four years ago, and since then has
been steadily declining.
"The people of the south are growing
enormously In population, and will
have ereater reaulrementa for timber
in i the future, and if the rest of the
country is to have lumber it must
come from the West, and the war to
transport it Is by channels such as we
are providing in this project."

MOTI03T IS OVERRULED
Medford. tct. t. A motion to quash
CATHOLIC CITIZENSHIP
ARTICLE 17 ' - ' ; , -. .''''
In order that our millions of American citizen Jmiv dwell to-
tether in hrihony, serious misunderstanding must be icarefully avoid
ed. Grave dissensions engender serious consequences. The purpose,
of these articles on Catholic Citizenship was and. is to disillusion the '
minds of our Non-Catholic brethren of errors, which if believed would
inevitably lead to strife, bitterness and even greater evils. One. of the
most dangerous of these errors has been the false impression; that !
Catholic citizens are hostile to free, public, English-speaking schools. :
For the thousandth time,. WE PROTEST THAT THIS IS FALSE. Ini
no manner whatsoever can this charge be justly imputed to us. !
OUR PLATFORM ON EDUCATION I - f 1
already emphasized (t) that we want universal education? (2) that!
we want compulsory, education; (3) that w want only English for
the grades, as explained; (4) that we insist upon truest patriotism
being inoculated' into every child in the land( (5) that we welcome
standardization of private schools . as a proof of their efficiency.!
Furthermore our schools are consecrated to the. .
"PERPETUATION AND PRESERVATION OF OUR FREE !
... - r. INSTITUTIONS .., ; . J.- M i
guaranteed by the constitution of the U. S." But in what do' thesei
"free institutions' mainly consist? And who are most faithfal-in
upholding them? Surely not those who AT THIS TIME are actually!
.attempting their destruction. Do not our free institutions mainly
consist in such sacred rights as that of suffrage, religious liberty,:
freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the
right to life, liberty and propertyr unless deprived xA them "by due
process of liw." What madness then to advocate the. destruction of.
private schools on the pretext that these do not teach and uphold
the VERY THINGS THAT WE OURSELVES VALUE MOST HIGHLY?
Tell us-, kind friends, for what else are-we struggling at this time
except these same free institutions guaranteed us by the constitution,
?f which the advocates of this "monopoly" school bill are trying to rob
us? Pursuant to this reverence for American institutions we have
lalso always maintained that
NO . RELIGION SHOULD BE FORCED UPON CHILDREN WHOSE
PARENTS OBJECT . ;j -- j,- j
Often have others- well meaning no doubt attempted this very
thing; i. e., to make the public schools a medium of spreading their
own religious propaganda. But .this is wrong, WE MUST GIVE TO
OTHERS WHAT WE DEMAND FOR OURSELVES complete liberty;
of conscience. In this respect Christian, Jew, Mohammedan, Buddist,;
Atheist (if American citizens) are all equal. Neutral or public schools
must be kept neutral in matters of religion. This is i why Catholic I
citizens have assumed the well nigh insupportable burden of main
taining private schools besides paying-our taxes towards the public;
institutions. God help our America if ever the day comes that there
is not this much personal liberty left to-patriotic God-fearing citizens.;
LET PARENTAL RIGHTS BE KEPT INVIOLATE M j j
"We proclaim the following principles: That the family is a
more ancient and a more' fundamental institution than the state; that:
to parents belong primarily the right and the obligation of educating
their own children; that only when parents fail "to do their duty by;
their offspring has the. state a right to Interfere;; that these (rights
of parents are primitive and inalienable, and may sot be violated by,
the state without Injustice; that the right of parents to educate their
children and to choose the instructors for their own offspring Is the;
most sacred and inamissable of human rights and the exercise by the
state of its police pOwer to drag children from -t-hei -homes of parents'
who are capable of and. willing to perform their full duty, fnthe
education of their children, would be an indelible stain on the fair
name of a free country, and an importation of tyrannous principles.
heretofore foreign to American" traditions." (Extract Edwin y. O'Hara,
July 4ta, 1922.)
THE QUESTION
In free America, every school
racy. There the rich' and poor,- the native and foreign born, I must;
mingle together in one great .melting pot. Can anyone truthfully sayt
that denominational schools do not do this persistently.! constantly,!
effectively? Certain parochial schools In Portland bavfc to or 12
nationalities represented, though the one English language is' spoken.
The little son f.Mr. Professional-man sits next to t dark skinned '
grandson of Dalmatia. The little daughter oMfs. Soeietyrwoman:
plays with a tidy little miss whose mother does .washing to support
her.. In fact, ha anyone, ever denied that- AT LEAST Jtt, : ITS
MEMBERS the Catholic people comprise the most democratic associ
ation in the wprld? " - --T.-'Si ' ; f- ' i ..,!;: ;--lr..yi.'.r44M

SUFFER THE LITTLE ONES TO COME TO ME . AND FORBID
S . "THEM NOT (Mark 40-14) ",, .r-Mf A:ii;:
This command of the Master Is really the alpha and omega of the
-religious school; the first and the last reason fof its existence. . It is1
perfectly intelligible that the haters of air churches should strive to;
I enact legislation like this school bill, to strike at the soul of religion, :
We can also understand how blindness and prejudice can Jaundice the I
(Vision of others. BUT WE WILL NOT BELIEVE that fair-minded
American citizens once they awaken to the iniquity of this monopoly
(school bill will support It. Such support would i be IN DEFIANCE !
