biguity.
The thesis of the address was depression, its cause and
cure. The hearer of the president's message was bound to
approve of the direct manner in which he plunged into the
. subject, the clarity of his exposition of the world-wide condi
tion of business collapse which the last three years have
brought, Instead of the return of prosperity 18 months ago
as Mr. Hoover had predicted, there came from abroad "a
blow, of such dangerous character as to strike at the -very
safety of the republic,"-declared the president. ''We might
have done nothing he said. "Instead we met the situation
with proposals to private business and the congress, of the
most gigantic program of economic defense and counter at
tack ever evolved in the history of the republic. We put it
into action.'
Mr. Hoover then turned to the specific remedial meas
ures which his leadership has seen enacted into law. "We
have held that the federal government should give leader
'ship to the initiative, the courage, the fortitude of the peo
ple themselves. New government instrumentalities should
be of the character as not to supplant or weaken but rather
to supplement and strengthen

protect each state from interference and invasion by its
neighbors, and that in no part of the United States shall
there be a- return of the saloon system with its inevitable

The opposition may ridicule the plaintive note in the ad
dress where Hoover declares:
. "No man with a spark ot humanity can alt in my place,
without suffering from the . picture of their anxieties and
hardships before him day and night. They would be more
than human if they were not led to blame their condition

to produce action that would really help them."

and take to heart this statement. They may see more clear
ly than in the captious, critical
minded, courageous, able, noble-motived man has been at!
work in the White House.
The president's acceptance message dwells convincingly
on the moral and spiritual aspects of American life. Hoover
points to the fact that for the
depression, dividends and profits have been reduced before
wages have suffered. In another connection he says:
"Underlying every purpose is the spiritual application
of moral ideals which are the fundamental basis of hap
piness in a people. This is a land Of homes, churches.

HARELIP is a common de

deformity may occur on one side or

in the eenter of

as harelip. It may involve only the
soft palate, or it may extend into
the hard palate, producing a wide
gap in the roof ox the mouth. - -
Many persons are under the Im
pression that harelip or cleft palate
is hereditary, but this is not true.
The deformity results from some
alteration in the normal develop
ment of the body before birth. This
condition does not run in families,
ana there is no evidence that it is
transmitted from mother to child.
It is a purely structural disorder
without hereditary influence.

there was no real danger, and that
the gun of the assailant waa only
oaded with powder. This is, cer
tainly, as strong a case for. justi
fication as when one, alarmed in
the night by the cry of thieves,
rushes forth in the. dark, and, by
mistake, kills an innocent person:
and, in such a case the slayer
would bo excused at common law.
Such was the dictum in the Lev

by the English commentators.
(Citation.) ;
"In the ease before us,' there
was evidence tending to show that

were discharged, deceased had a
pistol in his hand, and was stand
ing on the door-step of the pris
oner's private room, which was
an unusual place for one who had
threatened the prisoners life, and
whom he considered his enemy.
And I think the court should have
instructed the Jury, that if they
believed, from the evidence in the
case, that there was reasonable
ground for Ooodall to believe his
life in danger, or that he was 1
danger of great bodily ham from
the deceased, and that such dan
ger was imminent, and he did so
believe, and, acting on such "belief,
killed the defendant, he waa ex
cusable; and that It was not nec
essary that he should wait until
an assault was actually commit
ted. "The whole doctrine of self de
fense was most ably examined and
Illustrated in the case ot Thomas
O. Selfrldge, triedta the supreme
court of Massachusetts; and the
doctrines of the case were adopted

where it is declared by Bronson,
juage, in speaamg or tne same
case, 'that when, from the nature
of the attack, there is reasonable
ground to believe that there Is a
design to destroy his life, or com

the killing of the assailant will be
excusable homicide, although It

in these eases it is imperative that

Delay in deciding on an operation
may prove very serious, for when
nursing is difficult the child rapidly

In cases where the defect Inter

fully subscribe; a different rule
would lay too heavy a burden on
poor humanity.' He further says.
that the authority of the Selfrldge
case was followed by the revisers
la framing Ike statutes ot New
York touching this question. And
our (Oregon) statute Is a copy of
the New York statute, and if the
doctrine is properly applied there.
then it is applicable here also.
"As to what will constitute
reasonable grounds of belief in
such cases, sufficient to Justify
taxing . ure, must depend, to
considerable extent, upon the cir
cumstances of each particular
case. And the reasonablensss ot
the appearances under which a
party cflilms to Justify, msy very
properly be left to a Jury, under
the instructions jl the court. And
I think it is going too far to lay
down a general rule that an actu
al assault must be committed; for
such a rule would take away, or
at least, render almost -unavailable,
the right ot . self defense,
when firearms are used.
"It is also assigned as error
that the court instructed the Jury,
'that the killing being admitted
by the accused, it devolved on him
to prove that he was Justifiable.
I think this instruction la con
formity with the common law;
but it is not necessary to exam
ine the common law authorities
on this subject, tor our statute,
in the fourth section of the third
chapter, provides, 'there shall bo
some other evidence of malice
than the mere proof of killing,
to constitute murder la the first
or second degree.' This, I think,
is conclusive on this subject, for
it was the evident Intention of the
legislature, by this statute, to im
pose oa the prosecution some fur
ther burden than the mere proof
of the killing to establish malice,
which, under our statute, is not
to be presumed from the mero
proof of the killing, and I think
the instruction of the court was
la error.
"There is another ground of
error assigned, which is that the
court erred la permitting the dec
larations of Potts to be given la
evidence, made to his son prior
to the kllllag, and declaring the
reason why he was going to the
house of Aldrlch, where he was
killed. I think this evidence waa
