- FCKPOSE OUTtniED
, - The purpose of ' tne Xzaak Walton
, league was recently phrased by Henry
; Van Dyke, author and philosopher.
"The aim of the Ixaak Walton
League of America, as X understand Itj
V is to promote the efficient cooperation,
good will, common sense and wise law
.by an appeal to the honest anglers
the men and women who delight In
the sport of fishing to all parts of
, these States.
"The numbers or tms tnoe are sni
- and yearly gro w lug. But their influ
ence is nil, unless they. can get to
gether in thought and purpose to
withstand the inroads of commercial
greed and political recklessness by
' which out once rich Inheritance "Of
sport in woods and waters has been
reduced to a remnant.
GOOD TO UTB tS
"Undoubtedly this impoverishment
" ' ' must be checked or we thai soon have
a country in which there will be no
" hunting except for English sparrows
and starlings, and no fishing except
-for catfish and eel. Such a land
. - might fee . called . virtuous, from a
ruiririLTilft standnolnt. but
would it be really happy and truly

at the same time that this second
treaty of Versailles has cost us too
much not to take on our side aB the
necessary precautions and guarantees
that that peace shall be a lasting one."
With this cutting reference to the
former peace of Verts nice, when the
Germans occupied a vary different
position, he paused and the Interpreter.

it a single glance but let it lie un
touched. Although actual discussion of
the terms was to be entirely n writing
the leader of ; the German delegation
had - this one - opportunity to address
the former enemies of Germany face to
face. He did not, for some unexplicafele
reason, rise from bis seat as Clemen
eeeu had dene, and thus, at the very
short start, offended the proprieties
and - placed himself ; and , the German
delegation at a disedveatac. He spoke
slowly,, and sentence by ; sentence his
words were Interpreted. r ?? '
We are under no Illusion as to the
extent of our defeat and the degree of
our want of power." We know that the
power of the German arms is broken.
Beginning upon tbie sullen land de
fiant note he insured the worst possible
reception for. bis remarks. Xt was a
remarkable exhibition of the want of
tact, lie called into question the good
faith of the statesmen opposite him at
the start, referring to the , "power of
the hatred which we encountered here"
and the "passionate demand that the
vanquisher may make us pay." Then
he- attacked the whole basis of the
peace as drafted toy denying Ger
many's responsibility for the war.- Ad
mitting that the former government
"hag certainly contributed to the dis
aster," he added: -"But we energetic
ally deny that Germany and Its people,
who were convinced that they were
making a war of defense, were alone
guilty."
Brockdorff - Hantaan reached the
strongest elements in the German case
only after -thus antagonising all his
hearers. Be struck firm ground at
last when he declared that, alone and
powerless as Germany stood before the
victorious powers, she had yet one ally
"the right which is guaranteed
by the principles of peace." No one
could dispute the assertion that "the
principles of President Wilson have
- become binding for both par
ties to the war.'' Criticism of the terms
in relation to these principles must
command attention or should have
done so, if tactfully presented. A bet
ter note was struck., though too late,
by the declaration of Germany's readi
ness to accept without demur all the
sacrifices imposed upon her by those
principles, if her rights under them
were respected.
This opening speech was not really
in the nature of an observation on the
treaty, which ths Germans had not yet
read; it therefore called for no reply
from the allied and associated powers.
Ciemenoeau, in a fine if suppressed
c holer, dismissed the meeting abruptly
at the dose of the address.
M. Clemenceau Has anybody any
more observations to offer? Does no
one wish to speak? If not. the meet
ing is closed.
Such was the great occasion, and
such the deliverances. The book of the
destinies of the nations had been laid
down. The session lasted only a brier
moment of a spring day, and then the
Germans returned to their hotel, 'be
hind its palings and its guards, and
the allied leaders were whirled swiftly
back to Paris. ,

call an economic conference in Wash
ington. . j '. . .
If such a meeting is called, the befit
men will come from- all countries to
Washington and the true situation will
be brought out in conference. The cor
respondents, editors and proprietors of
newspapers from all over the country,
even from the smaller cities and towns,
will come to the capital, since it will be
known that what is done at the confer
ence will affect demand and prices for
the products of our farms, mines and
factories. The wide publicity given to
the conference would bring the real
situation home to our people and create
ample support for the further step to
be taken. f
B. The second practical step : re
ferred to above which I believe would
lead to the giving of the needed mili
tary guaranties to France, would be
action that would put into effect a
recommendation adopted in 1916 by a
referendum vote of the Chamber of
Commerce' of the United States. I
quota from the official statement de
claring the referendum adopted by a
vote of 656 organizations for and only
157 against, as follows:
"The committee recommends that the
United States should take the initiative
in Joining with other nations in agree
ing to bring concerted economic pres
sure to bear upon any nation or nations
which resort to military measures with
out submitting their differences to an
international court or a council of con
ciliation and awaiting the decision of
tne court or the recommendation of the
council, as circumstances make the
more appropriate.
This task is one that is the special
responsibility of our own country, be
cause without our cooperation, effect
ive action by the other nations is im
possible. When it shall have been
solved oa American initiativethen,
and not until then, will our people feel
that they have been true to their ideals
and taken their rightful part In the
world settlement. Then. and. not until
then, will steady work, steady business
and steady profits be possible in the

The Oregon State Training school is
located abont Ave miles southeast of
&alem on a sightly elevation overlook
tog the . valley. ; It was founded In
1S91 and more than JOOO boys nave
been committed . to lt AH average
number Of 42 employes have the-ears
and custody of the ISO boys, who are
in the school. Boys ranging In age
from ID to 18 'years are committed to
the School. The monthly payroll aver

sists of two stories and basement. In
this building are the offices, school
rooms, living quarters for the super
intendent and his family and : dormi
tories for the boys. Nearby are frame
buildings in which arc quartered the
printing plant, shoe shop, dispensary,
machine shop, laundry, tailor shop and
various ether enterprises . connected
with the school. A recent Inventory of
the property show -a valuation of
$210,000, the 604-acre' farm being val
ued at $65,000. the -buildings- at $126.
000 and- the farm and Other Improvo
mente at $20,000. .There was spent dur
ing the last year for supplies, salaries
and other expenses ' of maintenance
$6C,S05 and $7604 for improvement.
BOTS ISB SEUXD
The present system under which the
school is carried' on Is known as the
congregate system, which Is merely
a euphonious way of saying that the
boys are herded together without any
possibility cf segregation to prevent
the younger boys mingling freely with
the older- er more ' hardened young
men. The last legislature appropri
ated $280,000 tor the purpose of chang
ing the system to the cottage system,
so that the boys could be segregated
and given more homelike surroundings.
In taking a look over the grounds and
buildings, I visited the tailoring shop
where ten boys are learning that trade,
the shoe shop where eight boys are
employed, the laundry which employs
eight boys, the carpenter shop where
eight boys are being initiated Into
the mysteries of hammer and saw com
bined with lumber, nails and brains.
There are three boys learning the
printing trade, three painting, four in
the machine shop, eight in the kitchen
learning to cook, three in the. bakery
and 12 serving as waiters. A consid
erable number of the boys 'are em
ployed in the dairy -and oa the -farm.
FAULTS POIITTEB OtTT
Under proper conditions the Oregon
State Training school , could be made
a training school for future useful
ness or it could be as It has been at
times in the past a school for crime
whose postgraduate course Is a term
in the penitentiary. There should be
two distinct schools, or, if not that,
there should be two separate depart
ments of the present Institution one a
training school, the other a rejormg-.
tory;- If you threw a down good ap
ples in a box ot rotting Apples, the
good apples1 do -not stop the process
of decay in the bad ones, but instead
they themselves become specked and
soon start to rot This holds good
with boys. When-a boy's mother dies
and his father wanders off or marries
some woman who "will not have the
first wife's children underfoot," the
children are apt to be sent to the train
ing school as an easy way to get rid
of the problem. They are unfortunate,
not vicious, and It Is certainly not fair
to them to herd them with big boys
who are proud of being "hardboiled"
and who will do all they can to make
the new boys,, as tough as they them
selves are. ,
STRASGE PROBLEM
Strange as it may seem there are
boys committed to the sehool who are
not delinquent, but who are sent there
because some county Judge does not
know what, to do with' them when the
problem of a broken home is put up to
him. The real purpose of the taxpay
ers in providing for the maintenance
of the training school is to have it
serve as a reformatory, not a deform
atory. Its real purpose too often lost
sight off in the logrolling of politics-
is to rebuild incorrigible or delinquent
bovs. It should be a disciplinary train
ing school where moral, physical, spir
itual, and intellectual education is
given the boys sent there.
Primarily it is not a penal institu
tion, but what its name signifies, a
training school. Many of the boys
have, on account of poor parentage or
of broken homes, had but little train
ing along the lines of service and good
citizenship. . What they need is a
square deal. They n$ed good counsel,
direction and to be developed along
the lines . of citizenship with its re
sponsibilities as well as its advantages.
They need to be set to doing eortstrae

Bight ideals, good companionship
have not been theirs and the state on-
dertakes to remedy this lack in their
lives and train them to become self-
supporting and self-respecting citi
zens. It is not enoueb to feed, clothe
and lodge them. It is our duty to give
them an opportunity to be useful and
secure some of life's blessings, in nlace
of graduating them into a life where
they must Blink through the shadows
and dwell in constant dread of the
heavy hand of the law. Nine of the
boys have accumulated 2500 credit
marks and are eligible to parole, but
there is no one to whom they can be
paroled, so the law to that extent is
inoperative.
