Speak ing on "Naturalization," Justice John L. Rand, of the Oregon su preme court, was the speaker of the day. He formally, welcomed the new citizens. t "Everyone cannot be admitted to citizenship and we must choose carefully the class of people ad mitted to our shores." Justice Rand said. "There must be no class, no clique, no fueds, race,' political or social hatreds brought to America from Europe." Justice Rand emphasized the privileges, honors and franchise that are to be enjoyed by the new ctiizens. "It is your duty, as well as our own, to go to the polls," he said. The I'nited States government was held to be the greatest experiment in the world when the franchise was granted to all regardless of creed, politics, race and finances. AH laws must be obeyed and obe dience rendered to customs and traditions. Startsi Tomorrow at the Grand OlSlBIES Convict Under j Death Sen tence Takes!

Kim As Funny as "The Kid" Oovornor Pierce yesterday rei terated his position relative to granting executive clemency to men who have b'-en convicted in the courts in the orderly process of law. declaring that it is not oidinarily the province of the executive department of the gov ernment to interfere witli the j judicial. The question came up relative to the case of A. II. Cox. t who was convicted in Jackson county on a charge of possession of lKiucr. and for whom clemency is beint; askedol the governor. "I take the position that it is ! not the function of the governor j jof the state of Oregon to sit as ai j second trial judge in capes where-I , in men have been convicted of crimes and sentenced to the peni tentiary. It is the function of the courts to pass upon a mail's euilt or innocence. It is not the func tion of the executive again to try the case before the convicted man has reached the penitentiary. "In the courts all the facts in the case are placed before the jury in an orderly way. The prosecu tion presents all of its case. The defense presents its case. The fads are all before the jury when it retires to reach a decision. When that decision is reached it will stand unless there is unusual showing of irregularity or error in the trial. I do not propose to usurp the power of the courts by becoming a trial judge, nor do I propose to interfere with their de cisions by use of the executive power until the minimum sentence has been served, save in most ex treme cases." 2 - --. -ir ait Innl t'ygg, --jww.

Abe Kvans, who was returned to the state prison yesterday from The Dalle3. where he was resen tenced to hang on June fi for the killing of James Doran near The Dalles about two years ago. Is taking the whole procedure as a matter of course and apparently Is little disturbed over the fact that in less than three months he will enter the death chamber. Kvans really got a "kick" out of his little trip to The Dalles. In referring to it yesterday he said that three representatives of the sheriff's office called for him, handcuffed and ironed him and even put leg-irons on for his safe keeping. On the return he was not bothered by similar attention. Abe is the possessor of a most quizzical expression and readily talks about himself. "I don't want to stav around here," he said yesterday. "I want to leave, either a tree man or a dead one." In talking about his trip Evans told a newspaperman that when one of the officers who was to brini; him back not out of the car lie accidentally dropped an auto matic, revolver which fell upon the cushion. I "Why didn't you use ii?" lie j was asked. j "Nothing dohiL." lie replied. '"'I slid off into the oth'-r corner "l the car. 1 don't like those things. They rot me into trou , ble." "Boys, don't ever pick up any jhody on the road. I did it and I ; lost my wife, my home and my life," he said in court Monday when he was resentenced. Kvans will not be placed in ; solitary confinement until a short :time before the date set for his j execution. Warden A. M. Dalrym i pie said yes terday.
