Censorship in Japan
"wAPAN nnprates under a tiflrht censorship of the press.
J Don Sterling, Oregon Journal's capable managing editor,
-,m oit hofnrft the Rotarv club here that it was a
year and a day before Japanese newspapers pnnted reports
of the assassination of one of the former premiers of Japan.
Marten Pew, editor of Editor and Publisher, who has recently
returned from a world tour, descnoes me duuuuu

says the fear of the government is not so oppressive to an
editor as the dagger of the half-mad zealot. In spite of all
this pressure to restrain newspapers from printinthe news.

"Editors: Any report In connection with the incident of con

the employ of the Police Affairs Board of Manchukuo, is to be
suppressed."
Editors: Do not publish any news in regard to the removal
of the remains of Chang-Tes-Lin."
"Editors: The newspaper is liable to suppression for publi

Yamarata Prefecture which are disturbing the public and are
detrimental to the credit of money circulation organs."
'Editors: Do not publish news concerning the arrest t
Korean maicontents."
"Editors: Do not mention plans to build a railway between
Harbin and Yoyogi."
"Editors: The case of Doctor Shumei Okawa for violating
th Mnlosive control law is not to be published."
Because one newspaper in an early edition on the day
news was to be released of the formation of the puppet gov
ernment in Manchuria ran an item saying there would be
"interesting news from Manchuria", police raided the office
and burned 400,000 copies of the paper. Another time alter

said : "There was no comment here today on the manouvers
of the Japanese navy," the edition of the paper was de- own claims. They are, in fact
stroyed. Once an editor commented that the army budget was
"too large". Immediately he was commanded to publish an
other editorial retracting every word he had previously writ

ple have been accustomed to freedom of the press for a long
time. "It can't happen here"; but it takes constant fight
ing to preserve freedom of thought and expression even in
this country with its written constitution and long tradi
tion of liberty.

Architect's Fees
THERE is room for difference of opinion on how much to
pay architects for the state capitol. We have this feeling:
if the architect who is chosen does a fine job both in the
beauty of his design and in the utility of the structure then
what fees are paid him will be money well spent. The state
has no money to throw away for any purpose in building the
capitol ; but when it comes to professional services the areni
tect is as worthy of his hire as the contractor or laborer
Some factors complicate the fee situation. First, the architeel
must work under the supervision of both state and federal
authorities and prepare duplicate sets of plans and reports
Second, if an out-state architect he is required to engage an
Oregon architect and pay him two out of the six per cent for
his share. Undoubtedly he could put his own supervising
architect on the job for considerably less money.
So if the commission wants a wide-open contest and the
award is limited by the condition named, then it must make
the returns attractive or outsiders will not compete. The pub
lic must realize too that of the many who do compete only
three will get anything for their original work, the winner
receiving the award as architectthe second and third a cash
prize. The others get nothing although they do go to great
effort and expense.
. The commission's allowance of six per cent commission
and an allowance of $5,000 for traveling expense seems high
and is high; but under the peculiar circumstances prevailing
the decision is about as just as could be determined.

WHILE the Port of Portland is paying for the ground and

the new airport north of the city on the Columbia river
is one for the service of the entire northwest. It is to be a

whole area, we can take pride in the development, even
though our own share of the cost is only in the portion of

reader at all acquainted with the
story of early Oregon. The intro
duction to the volume in the state
library reads, substantially:
"In the compilation of the sec
ond number of the 'Grain's,' the
reader is reqiested to bear in
mind that the compiler contends
not with individuals but with
Evil; that error will more fre
quently affect the head than the
heart, and which has led many a
person to ruin who might as well
have occupied a high place In the
estimation of the good; and
eternal happiness eventually."
(The reference is no doubt
largely to Dr. Bailey.)

There had been 13 chapters in
the first volume of "Grains," or
"Ruth Rover," for the one pre
served In the state library begins
with chapter XIV, and the first
heading is, "Pictures of Oregon."

The book makes it appear that
Dr. VTl J. Bailey was, in Febra
ary, 18 Si, converted at the- Lee
mission, "connected himself with
the Methodist church, and was
called Brother BInney." That is
the name by which she calls Dr.
Bailey at various points In her
story: Dr. BInney.

The reader should know that
after the coming of the third
group of missionaries, of which
Miss Smith was a member, to the
Jason Lee mission, no other came,
until 1840, when the Lausanne
party arrived.
When Bancroft (quoted already
m tbla aeries) said, "hardly had
the excursionists returned to the
mission when news came of the
arrival" (of the party with which
was Miss Smith), he (Bancroft)
meant the wedding excursion ot
Jason Lee and Cyrus Shepard and
their brides, who (the brides) had
arrived With the first reinforcing
missionary party in the preceding
May, (1837.)
S U
In 1838, Jason Lee had retraced
his way across what came to be
known as the Oregon trail, seek
lng larger missionary reinforce
ments. At the time spoken of,
early in 1840. Jason Lee was on
the ocean with the Lausanne par
ty, on the last leg of the 13,000
mile trip around Cape Horn. They
were to arrive at Fort Vancouver
June 1, 1840.
m S S
Mrs. Bailey wrote in her book
that Dr. Elijah White, of the Lee
mission, having arrived with the
reinforcing party of May, 1837,
had told Dr. Bailey that he (Dr
White), upon Jason Lee's return,
would see to it that he (Dr. Bai
ley) would be "requested to ac
cept an appointment as physician
at some one of the new stations."
Her "Ruth Rover" book shows
that at the time she was anxious
to get away from the mother mis
sion station, and this stimulated
her idea that her marriage would
solve this perplexity.
She hints at one of the reasons,
here and later.

SUCH A contest, of course, is apt
to be more bitter than a one-sided
affair. The present inflamed
state of mind of the more ardent
gentlemen on both sides is anoth
er test or the accuracy or tne net
ting odds. One does not get as
passionate in March over an elec
tion to be held in November as
they are now unless the result is
extremely doubtful. It isn't often
that so far in advance the fight
should be so fierce and the feel
ing so tense. It Is an interesting
thing, too, that there should be
an eten money betting at all be-
before either party has adopted its
platform and before the candidate
of one is known. It seems to in
dicate a belief that the voters tote
against men and parties, not for
them; that they frequently get
set one way or another a long
time In advance and can't be
switched: that in this case neither
the republican candidate nor the
republican platform means a great
deal those who are for Mr.
Roosevelt will stick with him re
gardless of the alternative, and
nose who are against him are un
alterably against him. A good
many believe that.
THIS IS tbe time of year when
the number of sufferers from nasal
catarrh begins to increase. No doubt
this is due to atmospheric changes
with sudden rise and fall of tempera

ance to tbe germs of tbe common
:old and sore throat, may be low
sred. Catarrh of the nose may be di
vided Into two types tb acuta and
chronic forms. ' Chronic catarrh is a
;ommon ailment and, as its name In
licates. it la the result of repeated
ind persistent attacks ot acute nasal
catarrh which were neglected or
Siven faulty treatment.
Acute catarrh Is caused by tbe
germs or other agents responsible
for colds and sore throats. Tbe lc
tira complains of a stuffiness In the
nose and dryness. This Is followed
by tb.e familiar symptom, a "run
ning nose".
Sometimes hoarseness la present
In severe cases when the inflamma
tion extends to the larynx, complete
loss of voice for a few days may be
experienced. An attack of acute ca
tarrh may last from a few hours to
several days or even a week.
Not All Simple
If the condition contlnues'for more
than a few days, the discharge from
the nose becomes thick, purulent and
very sticky. It finally decreases In
amount and ultimately disappears.
Unfortunately, not an cases are as
simple as this. One the infection
has occurred it may lead to com plica
tions. It may spread to the naaal
sinuses or result In chronic catarrh

persistent nasal discharge.
The pharynx back of the mouth, be

may be sensitive and at times the
glands in tbe neck become enlarged.

validity of a state law banning

states. This involved the rights of
two or more states. Another un

for the Northwestern Bell Tele

Btate was also upheld. The court
refused to reconsider its recent
decision in the TVA case. It up
held the state of Washington's Oc

telephone companies. In every
case where public and private in

CHAPTER XV
The cocktail reached McSpadden's
taste with a cold dryish salute. It
was sweet and acrid simultaneously
and It slipped easily down his
throat. Somewhere in hia interior
it came to rest, and resolved into a
warm golden bubble that expanded
in the reeion of his solar plexus.
"Very pleasant, ianl it?" he In
quired wun a smiie.
"I like them once in a while,'
Juliet admitted. "I was rather down
tonight' Do 700 ever get down,

"I never allow myself to," be
said, as she refilled hia glass. "You
see I work in my garden after hours.
Then too, Mrs. McSpadden is quite

"I hope your wife Isnt Jealous?"
said Juliet.
McSpadden quietly experimented

"She Is and she lsnt," he de
clared profoundly. "I mean, she
really isnt because aha never has

Again the dry coldness of the see
oeV went to mingle with the golden
rlow ex his first.
"No. Ma. McSpadden is a splen

He was no beaming and kindly
and innocent that Juliet had he

head and sent him home Be was
pathetic, but not even cocktails
could evercoma his dullness.
"What yon need." aha told him
pleasantly. ia one more drink and

A wave of confidence surged
through McSpadden aad he took
the shaker from Juliet's hand.
, "Allow me. please."

reverting to business, "that our

ilXeSpadden balanced " himself
carefully and considered . this
thought. ' . s

with a aptaiav-ofindastry .frown.
"Onr policy -haa always been te put
sn. expensive product on the market
for the select trade,"
. Juliet knew this to be true bat
for some time she had been revolv

who had plenty of money. Big as it
was, there was still opportunity for
expansion.

It wouldn t be possible to put np the
same product in cheaper packages
under a separate trade name per
haps, and sell them through all the
ten-cent stores in America. The
profit would be small but the volume
enormous."
As soon as these words had fallen
from Juliet's lips she knew that she
had stumbled upon a plan that
would revolutionize Madame Hu
bert's business. It was a golden
idea, an inspiration from heaven
gry- female voice, like an angry
beating on a tin pan, triumphed
above Juliet's words.
McSpadden's face wilted. Sec

sinking cry of despair from the
whitening little man. "Why did

For the next three dan Juliet's
