THERE WILL j Rumors of an attempt to get up a recall election against Governor Pierce have been "given limited currency by a sec- tion of . the Oregon press devoted to the ideal of hell-raising . for the purpose of trying to attract attention ! Or for other sinister reasons. 1 There is nothing to it. No Oregon want to have such an attempt made, j -L . It would take petitions signed by 25 perj cent of the : voters of Oregon to make such an attempt effective in secur ? ing a recall election; or rather 25 per cent of the voters who ; cast their ballots for Supreme Judge at the last election And .specific reasons would have to be given for circulat- ing the petitions; and there would have to be a candidate ; named to contest the election and triere might be several candidates to enter the lists. ' i This would be an expensive proceeding j And for what purpose? For no purpose at all, excepting to vent the spleen of a few persons with no motive looking to the public good. The signatures could not be had in sufficient numbers without buying them to make such a recall election possible. . The recall provisions were not voted into the Constitu tion by, the people of Oregon for any such sinister purpose. They would not hesitate to use these provisions to reach an official using his office for any object subversive of the public good; that is what the recall is for; it is for use only on extraordinary occasions j But they would not use it Nor for the political or private gain of some individual or small group of individuals.! j The people of Oregon have observed the misuse of the recall privilege in - other states, like Washington, and they want none bf it here, ! !' No political party in the present situation .could afford to have itself stultified bx such an attempt? Jit" would be poor politics. It would be considered as uncalled for by the great majority of the people, i '" I J ' ' Another thing: Supposeat, were possible for.-a, small and sinister group to secure by the 'expenditure of 'a large um of money a sufficient number of names on petitions cir- j culated throughout the state to bring about a recall election? What tnen wouia nappenx tjrovernor nerce wumu receive a majority of the votes; if for no other reason, in protest against the sinister attempt; against the great expense at the cost of the taxpayers, j v. The people of Oregon generally, though a ! majority of them are not of the same political party to which Governor Pierce belongs, realize that he is administering Ws high office with fidelity: that he is attempting to give the people a good administration; that he is fair and impartial, ! - T They realize that Ke may make mistakes. Who does not? They know that no man can please all the-various peo , pie and varied interests, That would be impossible. It is not expected. ' - . . . But the greaf majority of the people of Oregon know that Governor . Pierce has done nothing worthy of an at tempted recall, and they would resent such an attempt by refusing to sign the petitions , And if there" should be bought with money enough signa ; tures ta foist upon them at their expense a recall 1 election, they would vote to retain Mr. Pierce in office,' by a larger - majority than he received at the polls when he was given the office of Governor of Oregon. . J Man conscious of his . strength ! struts about the world like a turkey gobbler, and yetwhen na : ture takes it into her head, she crushes him more easily than a, turkey crushes a mosquito. It takes a convulsion - of the earth -to. show man how puny he is and how gigantic is nature. r PER CENT TOO LARGE Of course, it Is desirable to get ' money for, the hospital,, but It has raised- a serious question as to how big a per cent can profitably be paid .for money for this pur pose . The race ' on Labor day realizes thirty per cent net, and seventy per cent for . expenses. That Is irora the money stand point, which Is too high . a per cent to pay for collection in any event; In addition to that orielife was taken and four men were sent to the hospital. It is no more than fair to fig ure such things in the form of per cent and, without ) accidents, seventy pe cent Is too big to pay for collections, and one life te too tg a toll to throw in, to say nothing. of the four men In the hospital. ; . - Do these races mean that our civilization Js only veneer?

The Californian is unduly excited and alarmed. The people gener ally have accepted progressive! le gislation and quickly ' made It a part of the fundamental law of the land. Of course, all the abus es have not been j corrected but more progress has .been made in the last fifteen years than in any previous hundred . years. Of course, the friends t of progress must be alert but at the same time, they must! congratulate themselves on . the remarkable progress that has been made, r INDUSTRIAL ACCORD There is no use , talking; the world cannot go on widening the breach between capital and labor. They are getting to hate each other.

OREGON people. v'- Is it not about time the people, the party of s the third part, ought to sit in on all labor negotiations? " , .. Governor PInchot tried to set tle the coal strike, but be failed because he had no backing except advisory and no weapon except conciliation. If he had represent ed a party of the third part he would have been able to force ac tion favorable to the public interests. A SCRAP OP PAPER The position of Italy to pre cisely what was feared in the or ganization of the league of na tions. Italy went in with a men tal reservation, with Its fingers crossed as it were. The first moment it did not like to submit its case to the league of -nations, it announced that it would not do so. ' The case of Italy is a great pity. The world Is tired or war, and either the league of nations, the world court or some tribunal has been looked upon as leading to the road of salvation. However, we must find some other solution something more drastic that the nations of the world "will re spond. Here is the covenant to which Italy and the other nations subscribed: "Members of the league agree that If there should arise be tween them any dispute likely to lead to a rupture, they will sub mit, the matter either to arbitra tion or to Inquiry' by the council, and they agree In no case to re sort to war until three months after the award by the arbitrat ors and the report by the coun cil." TOO MANY PREACHERS? The Washington Methodist conference, which has just ad journed, was confronted .with a plethora of preachers and concern was felt lest appointments could not be secured for all of them. Certainly there is enough mis sionary work to do in Washing ton to take up the attention of all the preachers that can be se cured. We will Just point out one . instance. Pacific Beach In the summer time reaches proba bly 2,000 population and in the winter time close to two or three hundred. There is no preaching in that town by any denomination whatsoever. A few of the faiths ful women maintain a Sunday school with fifteen or twenty in attendance. The entire town is practically without religious at tention. Mocllps, a mile and a half north, is a decayed summer resort. It is the headquarters for, lumber workers. It Is a town with a population of about 500 the year around and without re ligious instruction. Is it possible that these two towns are: the only ones in the great state of Wash ington which are neglected? I HARDING AND PEACE Almost as a posthumous mes sage is the appeal of Mr. Hard ing for world peace. The letter was not published until after his death and It was an appeal to the Intelligence of America to end all war. President Harding was in a position to see the tragic effects of the last war. It will take a hundred years to recover from the damage done. It used to be argued that we needed war. to dispose of our sur plus population. What s with earthquakes, railroads, 'automo biles and numerous other Imple ments of destruction, it does seem that we manage fairly well to keep down our surplus. One paragraph in the letter, ap pealed especially to the press on high ground: "I further believe that In this great task of helping to make the world safe for humanity no politi cal party should seek selfish ad vantage; that here should apply our old and most wholesome tra dition that party rivalries should stop at the edge of the I high seas. Hence I shall be glad if the American press. Ignoring parti sanship, uses Its great power to draw forth 'the best; thought, heart and soul of our people. In such crystallization will be read the decision of the republic, FUTILE JUSTICE Our courts should be the bul warks of our government, and yet they are criticized so strenu ously as to be in danger of los ing the respect of the public. The American bar association in convention asembled In Minneap olis, deplored the law's delays and ascribed to this the growing disfavor of the courts. However, if the indictment lies, the lawyers are to blame.- -i i "'' Under' our Institutions a man has the right , to exhaust every legal means before accepting pun ishment and the lawyers raise all sorts of technical quibbles to se sure. delays. - Practically, .every criminal case is a tight to wear out the courts. We forget i so quickly in this country that our resentment over crime is soon forgotten. Harry Thaw commit ted murder in cold blood. He made a seven years' fight for liberty. When he finally got away, the country was practically united in his favor. We are not offering a remedy. We are simp ly pointing out that the lawyers are responsible for the law's de lays and if this Minneapolis reso lution means that the lawyers are going to reform, we say, "All Hall!" A Adele Garrison New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE CHAPTER 399 HOW DICKY SOLVED " ONE ANGLE OP THE GRACE DRAPER PROBLEM. Dicky stopped suddenly in his striding up and down the tiny level space upon the top of the hill,, ran his fingers' through his abundant hair twice, tossed i a troublesome forelock back, and came up to the car. That hs had decided the question of having or not " having Grace Draper a a model, " 1' knew,' for ' his" actions were characteristic of his mo ments of decision, and my throat constricted with actual physical pain while I waited for him to speak. !-. ' -; ; ' "I suppose, as long as you're willing,' he began lamely, almost shamefacedly, then straightened himself,! put his hands upon my shoulders and looked steadily down Into my eyes. "It's Up to You " ! j. ' ': ; . i .-t ; '- -'"V-:'" -- ; '.. i' V" "It's up to you, old girl, abso lutely," he ; said. "I won't deny that getting her back as a model for these particular drawings would mean an awful lot to me. I probably never would need her again, for while there are plenty of fussy be-old-maids like Pen nington in the book world, there is no one but Pennington with prestige enough to be able to car ry things through with so high a hand. ; But in this particular em ergency I don't deny she would: be a life-saver. If Pennington is pleased jl'll be the white-haired boy with Percy again, and as jhe gives mej over half my work, that's some item to say "nothing lor where lid be if it got blurted around, las it surely would, that Pennington had refused my stuff, and Percy had turned me down." "Whyi . annoy ; yourself with dwellingj upon unpleasant things that are jnever going to happen t':, I said courageously. "She will undoubtedly be glad to pose for you again." "It i is not a quest'on of her, but of. yoluj" Dicky: retorted. "I know youfve said you 'are wiiling and it's perfectly bully of you to propose it, but if this thing Is go-. Ing to cause you any annoyance or unpleasantness, I'm not going through with it." His voice was sincerity itself, and I knew that he believed what he said, but I could not help the caustie little reflection that if I took him at his word and rescind ed the permission I had given he would be distinctly resentful. "There will be neither annoy ance nor unpleasantness for me, I am sure,'!' I said steadily. "Soi let's not discuss that phase of it any longer, What Madge Asked Herself. "AH right, you bully girl!" He pulled me to him roughly, kissed me warmly,! and spoke with crisp decision as he finished: - "Understand one thing. I nei ther interview this dame nor have her pose for those illustra tions without you or mother or some one equally alert present. She's I no doubt, the original re pentant sinner at the mourners' bench, but she's a trifle too foxy to be thoroughly trustworthy, and I'm not going to risk having, her trying the stunt on you she did before." - , He shrugged h'.s shoulders as if he were ; throwing off an un pleasant memory, and. Indeed, I well knew from my own feeling what must be his aversion to. any thought o! that old time; "Now the next thing." he said briskly, "is to decide where she shall stay while I make the neces sary sketches. That is,' of course, provided she consents. Le'ts see. this is Wednesday. " It you write today! we can hardly expect a let ter before Friday at the latest. Well j That'll give me plenty of time. ! If I know her decision be fore I go in. Monday, that's all I need, j Dut we'd better decide where; she. is to stay before you write iher, so that you can give her all the data' ' "Yes, of course," I returned, a bit : absently: for my brain was busy with this new and vexing problem of where to house Grace Draper. Of all the bizarre situa tions, I thought to myself sardon ically, that I should 'be revolving this problem in my mind! "Of course, she can't be seen In this neighborhood." Dicky said thoughtfully, "on account of Dad and LiL How you're ever going to manage them anyway, I don't see.

He struck his closed fist on his knee a little habit of his when he has solved a vexing problem. ; "I think I must be getting'.as phasia that I didn't think of that before," he .said with' disgust.-!
