Orations on the
T AST niffht The Oresronian
ILi iects dealiner with the national constitution. There were
eight speakers on the program,
. . a m
ence quite a goodly supply of
spiration for one evening.
We raise the question why the contest should be limited
to thetme theme. The constitution is something to be re
spected, to be studied, to be observed, and to be applied. It
is not something to be worshipped. The Protestants substi
tuted an inerranfr book for an inerrant people; but modern
thought in protestant communions has now deviated from the
old bibiolatry. We wonder if there is not a tendency to look
upon the constitution as the political bible of the country and
to fall into the same habits of adoration of it as formerly
were exclusively applied to the bible.
A cm in minv rtf tho constitution-worshiDDers are looking
principally at just some of its
concerned about property ngnts, dui tney oo not nesiiaie tu
violate or ignore the eighteentn anenamenu iney are ar
rfonf in t hir faith nhnnt frvednm of contract, but are ruth
less in suppression of free speech in coal mining towns or
steel towns in case of strikes. Tney Derate tne miunanas ai
TVklfn fnr mm nine the Jans out of town : but sav not a word
against deputized hoodlums
rights of labor leaders in UUizabetntown, lenn.
The constitution is a.remarkably well drawn instrument.
Qot o-ninor hv snrh hip exW utivea as Georee Washington and
Alexander Hamilton, and given
. ... . . - - ......
pretation by John Marsnau it nas provea an aamirauie irame
of government. It is however the product of its social, po
litical nrl wnnnmic milieu, and is bv no means to be regard
ed as something handed down from Mt. Sinai.
It has received 19 amendments, and most every politi
cian can think up some alterations which he believes would
be beneficial. As time passes additional changes will be
written into the document. We do not plead for a flexible in
strument for our fundamental law; but we protest against
rigidity of opinion upon even such a practical instrument as
the constitution.
If The Oregonian seeks to sponsor oratory among high
school students, why limit the subject to a single theme? If
the purpose is primarily a study of che constitution, it would
seem that essays would be a more effective vehicle of ex
pression. The constitution will of course survive the ora
torical onslaught. We hope that it has vitality enough to
outlive the tendency to make of it a holy covenant in a holy
ark.
Running the Railroads
WE are quite sure it must be as easy to run the railroads
as it is the newspapers of the country. At least there
are as many volunteer performers who give generous advice
on how the railroads should be run. Just now we note that
the roads are about to "reduce the passenger fares between
Portland and Seattle in an effort to regain business lost to
the stages. We are quite sure however if some grange or
chamber of commerce had suggested such a move to the rail
executives they would very solemnly have protested that it
simply couldn't be done ; and produced reams of auditors' re
ports in proof of the impossibility. Then they might have
gone ahead and done it.
That was what happened in the case of the reduction in
time between Chicago and north Pacific terminals. The
executives meeting in Portland were so final and their evi
dence was so conclusive that the petitioning chambers of
commerce almost passed a resolution telling them they could
lengthen out their running time a day or two if that-would
permit them to stay in business. A few weeks later, presto,
the impossible became the possible. Every railroad an
nounced it had suddenly discovered the time could be reduced
without throwing the roads into bandruptcy.
We do not suppose the roads will find the passenger busi
ness profitable as time goes on. They may find it "less a
loss" to put into effect general rate reductions such as they
contemplate on the Portland-Seattle run. That is what hap
pened in the case of railroad stage lines. The stages do not
pay or pay very well; but they prevent the roads from piling
. up the heavy losses caused by operating unpatronized trains.
Being only an editor we shall not advise the roads what to
do. They do have a serious problem in rendering passenger
train service with coaches half-filled. Perhaps reducing the
rates will save the day; perhaps passenger trains will pass
out like the street cars except on the long hauls.
Mexlical Men Do Well
.f-iJEDICAL practioners who
If x time to the prevention
will win a warm admiration from people everywhere. Little
by little we are learning that the best way to reduce is to
stay thin; the easiest way to treat cancer is to guard against
its mcertion.
This month free clinics
the auspices of the Oregon Tuberculosis association are being
held in various sections of the
, tuberculosis. The clinics are part of an Early Discovery
campaign and they are proving extremely valuable in dis
covering and checking tubercular cases. Out of 66 cases
examined 21 were found to have the early symptoms of tu
berculosis and these cases are
There will b sickness a plenty for doctors to care for
despite our best efforts to check disease. But the move for
health must continue; preventative medicine is more worthy
than the curative type.
Action Needed on New Building
fTTHE supreme court's objection to a new office building as
J. planned by the state board of control because the noise
of construction will interfere with the work of the justices
will not be taken seriously. Concentration is part and par
cel of a jurist's equipment, we would presume, but if such is
impossible when the rat-tat-tat of the steel riveter, is on, we
should suggest the judges pack up their books and try the
fishing on the North Santiam while mentally browsing in
the tangles of higher jurisprudence.
The complaint that the new building will darken the
offices now being used is more serious. Judges certainly
need as much light ahining on their reflections as any class
of citizens. Such modification as will permit such help must
be made by the state board of control. Otherwise the judges
will all take to golf and that splendid, record of catching up
with the docket will be. only a memory
But by all means, action is needed. The state has been
, m without its office building too long. . :v:

With all fruit and other crops
pretty well assured now, the Sa
lem district is going to hare a
great business year. With the gar
age, administration and other
buildings at the penitentiary, and
minor improvements at the old re
form school farm now being
worked by the prison forces, there
ill be more than 1100,000 In
building improvements for that
institution during the present
year. There will be over $150,000
expended in the new grandstand
and other new construction at the
state fair grounds.

With the state office building.
the industrial building at the
state hospital, the new telephone
building, and other major pro
jects around Salem, a million and
a half dollars more will be ac
counted for Then there Is the
Urge addition to the plant of the
Terminal Ice and Cold storage
company, taking care of larger
needs In the way of cold pack
fruit operations and the reiclng
of cars from southern points here
making up a beneficial contri
bution to the activities here in Sa

With the West Salem cannery
plans developing Into all the year

and various other developments
looking to the growth of business
here, Salem and her trade terri

towards wonderful things In the
opening of a new era.

One of the finest show places
that will be seen by the -thousands
on blossom day parade to
morrow will be the' plantings of
the Salem Bulb company (W. C.
Dibble) a few rods from tho Polk
county end of the. Willamette
bridge, fronting the Wallace road
as you go out of Salem. Mr. Dib
ble has there 10 acres in tulips.
which will make about a million
and a Quarter bulbs. The blooms
win be fine tomorrow; though the
showing will bo fuller a week
later. Mr. Dible has a new depar
ture, ia a central part of his
plantings, with, sample beds of his
staaaara varieties, so they
bo examined without walking
about much; also la what ho calls
his tulip curiosity shop, contain
ing sport varieties, in black and
other shades. Including a wild tu
lip from Asia, on named "WB

ershooa, etc., etc Tho big crowds
will bo there tomorrow, and other
throngs will go to Mission bottom
to see tho Lather J. Chapia
plantings, tho next largest for tu
lips ia tho Salem district this
year.

The Question of yesterday as to
who mads tho survey for the
platting of the original town of
Salem can mow bo answered. L N.
Gilbert, tho first county clerk of
Marion county, made tho surrey,
prepared tho plat, and In his of
ficial capacity filed ft. He for a
time acted as county surveyor. Mr.
Gilbert was one of tho four men
who organised th first Congre
gational church of Salem, and he
was one of. its principal support-
One Kind Of Safe Roost
ers till the time
of his death.
March 20, 1879. Mr. Gilbert came
to the Oregon Country with the
emigration of 1844, from New
York. He was born at RushviUe
In that state, June 27. 1818. He
married Hiss Marietta Stanton of
Salem in 1850; a-daughter of Al
fred Stanton, an immigrant of
1847. The land claim of the Gil
berts was in the northeast sub
urbs of what Is now Salem, in the
Garden Road district; the Cine
Gilbert home (for those days)
being well remembered by many
old residents still living here.

Editoro Say:
THE PASSING OF THE GREEN
LID
With the action taken by the
student body last Friday. Willam
ette bids adieu to one of her most
time-honored and least noble tra
ditions, and takes a step forward
in her development toward more
ideal social relations.
Recognizing the identification
values jot the green-lid and the
harmlessness of the custom In It
self, we feel that In our exper
ience on the campus the least
praiseworthy incidents have re
sulted from attempts to enforce
this tradition.
Whereas, it should be the pol
icy of the student body to foster
a spirit of cooperation and strive
to make the new students feel
that they are a part of the camp
us activities. It has let soma of its
members resort to the most prim
itive methods in an. attempt to
control the pursuits of the Fresh
man class. The enforcement of
the green-lid tradition has tended
to produce enmity rather than cul
tivate a friendly feeling of asso-
datioiv.
Where. If not In a student
group shall we learn to control
ourselves, order our activities by
reason aad not force, and learn
to live in peace and harmony
with our felloWmen? And so with
no grief or lament wo consign
this tradition to tho errors of the
past. Willamette OrtlearUn.
PORTLABnrS GASOLINE WAR
Gasoline is being retailed sin
Portland at from 17 cents to 21 hi
cent a. gallon. A majority of sta
tion sales are being made at 20
cents a gallon, which ia tho price
that tho dealers' association Is
trying - to maintain. The price to
the dealers Is lf cents. Only
at the stations operated by the oil
companies Is tho top price of 23-
eents asked. In their latest
meeting the - dealers apparently
gave- ao thought to bringing up
their own price to that figure.
Tho retail dealers charge that
tho oQ companies are seUlag di
rect to largo city consumers at
from 12 Vt cents to IX cents a
gallon. Tho oil compaaieo reply
that they are making ao ouch
contracts, Tho dealers charge that
the oil companies are selling to
farmers at 10 cents. This, too,
is denied. Tho dealers at their
meeting charged that tho com
parties are treating them unfairly.
Specifically, tho dealers object to
the exclusive ' one-company con
tracts that tho companies enforce
upon dealers. That jteems to bo
tho chief specifies tl on of alleged
unfairness made at tho dealers'
meeting, aside from tho one con
cerning cat-price sales to large
consumers, but quite appareatly
tho dealers are Inclined to blame
tho companies for tho whole de
moralization of tho gasoline-selling
trade, whoso ramifies ttoas are
hartT for sa outsider to under-1
stand.
Out of the muss in the trade in
the metropolis the consumer has
for weeks past been getting his
gasoline at various bargain prices
and is still doing bo, with no pros
pect for a ehange in sight. Cut
prices have extended in a few in
stances to outside towns, but the
storm center is Portland. Here in
Eugene there was a brief flare-
up of price cutting, but it soon
subsided. Eugewe Register,

WHY CROW OLD?
When we hear men around 60
years of age talking about being
tired and growing old wo have
but to think of Ellhu Root, aged
84. the great lawyer and states
man, who sailed for Europe a
short time ago to represent his
country la seeking new under
standing among nations as to
America's reservations in the mat
ter ot the World Court.
There is no reason .why the
mind or tho body should play out
at SO, for if properly treated, both

ample for men around io, who are
tired. Ellhu Root, we believe, will
live many more years to serve this
country ia tbo usual manner that
he has served it in the past.

Chenoweth and Jack Ormsby. for
mer federal prohibition agents,
had disagreed with them on thu
payment of "protection" monoy
were being investigated by ofli
officials of Los Angeles and Kern
counties tonight.
The story, given by nnnam-d
residents of Lancaster, which of
ficers were investigating was th;it
after Chenoweth and Armaby had
found a 500 gallon still Just over
the Kern county line, they dis
played badges. After a confer
ence, it is claimed. Chulla aRr-.-

a ranch ten miles distant. Chulla
kept the appointment and took
along a second man. a stranger to
Chenoweth and Ormsby. They be
came suspicious of this second
man, it is claimed, and a quarrel
and the shooting followed.
Because Chulla died in Los An
geles county, an inquest will be
held here tomorrow afternoon at
which time the statement of Chen
o wet h and Ormsby that they wern
looking for stills with the hope of
being reinstated as prohibition
agents will be investigated, nis
