In the mat; ter of the late proceedings in disbarment with respect to Mr. Joseph, the court expunged its findings from the record s is customary When death intervenes before the final adju dication of a matter. Newspapers opposed, to the Joseph at titude to the court, accepted this action, and have dealt most kindly with Mr. Joseph's memory with . reference thereto. They should continue in this course. . Whether or not they will continue - to do so may de pend in part on the attitude of the Portland papers men tioned. The Telegram takes occasion to strike fit Judge Skipworth, who perforce must remain silent and make no reply. It says: , - Tor Henry L. Bergman, common thief, bat rarer of a import ant trust, Jo.s SklsworUi a trains a polat and strains tna ntr of merer. Bat what sympathy or kindness ha fi show to Goors W. Joseph a man of stainless honor and unblemished reputation: a man whose splendid qualities Judf e Skipworta knew well from lbag. personal neQoaiatanea? "To loot a bank; to bring anxiety and distress oa hnndreda of balplaas deposit on; to outrage pnbUe decency these we moat sup pose, are negligible offenses, readily condoned; but ta spead aloud aafaTorable opinions; to plead for tha wishes of the dead and ta rights of tha liTing; to stand boldly or honor and Justice thus are alas for which Judge Sklpwortn apparently has no mercy." May we say to the Telegram that we feel it renders a disservice to the memory of Mr. Joseph. There Is no need to reopen a bitter controversy. There will be no reply to this comment, not because a reply is not ready, but out of respect for Mr. Joseph. His restless, "combative nature has at last found peace. "In pace requiescat" If those like The States man which arose to defend the supreme court against un warranted attacks, are willing to end what now becomes a bootless controversy, then surely the friends of Mr. Joseph should acquiesce and refrain from prolonging it. ' We have more to do in this state. than to engage in a war of the roses over the deeds of the dead. The attitude of the Telegram would make a controversy now ended and ex punged an continuing feud. Let us have peace instead. MA11 Quiet' Too Noisy Just as we said, so realistic was the war film "All Quiet on the Western Front," that it would be hard to recruit a squad for army duty after that exhibition. That of course makes it a capital film, for showing the emptiness as well as the sordidness of mass production in war-nmrder; but-some folk think the film ought to be suppressed for just that rea son. Here is a end-out dealing with 'All Quiet" : .i May we solicit your Influence to help prohibit Unlrersal's film All Quiet on tha Western Front? This is tha most braces propaganda film erer made in America. It undermines beliefs is tha arar and in authority. Moscow Itself could not hava produced a mora aubvereiTu film. Its continued uneeaaored exhibition especially befor. Juven iles win gt far to raise a race of yellow-atreak alackers and dislorla fsts. Domes tie statecraft common sense and plain ereryday patriotism demand instant suppression of such vicious propaganda. It la Im portant to act promptly. Accept please our arory respect and thanks. No, that isn't set out by the past president general of the D. A. RThor by Fred. Marvin, nor others of the profes sional -watch-dogs who bark at passing pacifists. It is the of fering of Major Frank Pease, president of the Hollywood Technical Director's institute. That is all we know about him. tVe vouch neither for his military title nor his civil office. His statement speaks for itself. But the very reason why Pease thinks the film should be censored is the reason it should be further exhibited. Let irrifK lmv What mndpni war ii then thev should know whether to shout for it at the doodle politician tnat comes aiong. - Settling the Tariff Question One of the important reasons why President- Hoover . . . w'm 9mU 11 U A - s a u signed tne nawiey-omoot tanu dui was, as ne saia, to seine the question, get it out of the realm of controversy. Yet in the same statement in which he made this declaration he pointed to the flexibility provision as one of the redeeming features of the measures. No sooner was the bUJ signed than senators both of the jackass and hl-jacker breeds started to call on the .tariff" commission to launch investigations op various commodities including: shoes, furniture,' cement, shovels, grass hooks, bells, wire fencing, and scythes. Thus tariff-making promised to enter into the field of continuous performance. Instead of. being settled, it would appear to be permanently unsettled. It remains, to be seen . however whether the tariff -commission will really func tion or whether It will merely rub its eyes and turn over for another jaooie. s The material submitted and the testimony taken at hearings in connection with the writing of .the recent tariff is said to be enough to fill two sets of Encyclopedia Britan nicaa. Only some one with the plodding patience of Con 'gressman Hawley would try to study much of this material. e commission, has a hie iff studies on the scale which the initial requests indi te. ' ; The Vacation Season l Now that the Fourth is past the country can anticipate a good vacation season. It la timely. The country needs a vaca "tioa. Business men need it. Trying to answer that eternal f ool ;lsh question -Howg business" has run them ragged. They Jieed two weeks in the mountains, far away from debit and credit, where they can get fried trout, brush away the yellow jacketsTand get restful sleep on hemlock boughi.

Not a man on the Sally had seen e bit larger than a cartridge before; they studied ,lt handled it, mar veled at it. At last Cap'n Wing stood up stiffly from bending over the lumps of ambergris. He looked at Brander. "It's ugly enough," he said. "You're sure it's the stuff you think?- Brander nodded. "Yes, sir, quite sure." "What's It worth?" "Hundred and fifty to three hundred dollars a pound price changes. Noll looked at tha waxy stuff again. "It don't look It. How mnch is there ot it?" "Close to 390 pounds." Noll's lips moved with the computation. He said. In a voice that was hushed ia spite of him self: "Close to ninety thousand dol lars!" Brander smiled. "That's the maximum, of eourse." "You've done the rest of us a service. Mr. Brander," Dan'l To bey said. Brander looked at him, and an Imp of mischief gleamed in his eye. "The rest of you?" he echoed quietly. "I was sent out to' re move the carcass, not to dissect it. The digging for this was my private enterprise. Mr. Tobey. Old James Tichel, the second mate, gasped under his breath. Dan'l started to speak, then looked toward Cap'a Noll Wing. It was for him to deal with Bran der's claim. Noll stared at the precious stuff on the week, and at Brander, and he said nothing. Brander smiled. He called Mau ger to come aft and help him, and proceeded with the utmost care to clean tha lumps of ambergris. Ha paid no further heed to. the men about him.

The black disappeared; it became an even, dull yellow. Hera and there, bits ot the bones of the j3 gaatie squid on which tha cacha lot feeds. The faint, persistent odor spread. When the cleaning was done, Mauger fetched steelyards and they weighed the lumps, slinging each with care. The larger ones were ao heavy that they had to make the scales fast to the rig ging. The largest weighed 74 pounds and a fraction; the next was II; the third, 48. The four smaller lumps weighed together, tipped the beam at 19 pounds. The seven totaled 202 pounds. Mauger waa. disappointed at that. "I took 'em to weigh 500 any ways." he complained. (Continued on Page 4) pOLLYWOODp. Home of Last lines Tt HOOTS LATEST ALL TALKING.

Industry of that -country and district. He acknowledged that h knew nothing about that phase of the Industry, but ha ? said , aa Irish spinner told him the J. W. S. lm prorved seed flax, making a large . straw, yielded a coarse and low grade fibr. This has not been found, to be the ease here, and it is certain that the Irish spinner wad prejudiced, and ''talking through his hat." Flax fiber is peculiar. It is so fine that each lea r measure of it can. still be divided, no matter hew fine raa be divided until It is too small to ba seen with the. naked eye. It ia not reasonable to oppose that a large straw's shirt win be enclosed with' a fiber leas fine than a small straw's ahive. Flax fiber does not grow that, way. a S V The fact is. this United States consul aid ha came 0000 miles on his way to Salem to see his first scutching - machine. The Irish spinners are among the best ia the world, but their growers. and those who separate the fiber from the straw, are 6000 yeara behind the times, as compared with our Salem district growers and those who treat the product up to the fiber stage here. V The stats flax plant is con stantly making improvements; many not seen elsewhere In the world. There is a new. machine built here, for the handling of tow. The grading processes' are up to date, and more room haa recently been added tor this work. And so it goea. V-.e There is a new parts house, just finished, in a convenient lo cation,' for tha extra parts of pulling machines, from tha first model to the last. This will make a great convenience for the men operating palling machines in flax harvest all over the district. - The Western Board Products company, in Its plant being fin ished near tha stata fair grounds, will use the shires ef the state flax plant, paying f C a ton.

Something more should bo said about tha way tha inmates ot the prison work in the stata flax Industry. They are as faith-. ful on the average as men la similar employment on the out' side. There ara aereral reasons for this. They are tha only In mates getting a daily wage. They get ftOOO to 13000 a month, run ning from 2 5 cents a daj up. This gives them spending money,; of goes to their dependents on the outside, or fs accumulated ' in the office against their times of re lease, furnishing them' starts ia life on the outside. : v Such- considerations render these men a saving section,, of the whole number ot inmates. They have something at stake. They know, too, that they are engaged In a torn of work that is building an industry that will eventually provide every inmate worker a dally wage. And they know that time Is growing near. S Superintendent Meyers says there are mora than 200 men ia the Oregon penitentiary -who might with safety be paroled; a considerable proportion of them not eligible for parole at all, : un der present statutes. This would aid materially in curing the eon-' gestlon at the prison, besides it would be a means ot protecting rather than Injuring . society at large. . ,r '-K Holding a man In prison lung . beyond the time when ha might with perfect safety be released becomes a form of rindlctira punishment, which Is against tha letter and spirit ot the Oregon constitution, aa It. is likewise contrary to tha tenets ot modern; penology, to say nothing of com mon sense. - t V?
