Byrd, intrepid explorer. At the dinner Ad . rniral Byrd declared his intention of devoting the re mainder of his life to promote international amity, save for two years which he may devote to further exploration in a field he did not name. Tbeimpulse to consecrate his life in be half of world concord came to him while he was alone in the outh Arctic. There he pondered over the problems of the tvorld and concluded it was the airplane which gave the world Its new war fears. He said: Tit. la the fear of wings over the world that Is helping to drive as deeper and deeper into International insanity.' Admiral Byrd then read, a page from his diary written it Advance Base when he did not know that he would return 7iv TliJewas tiTt9W! " v r - -s. " . . I find that I mast take charge of my mind or It- will take ' charge of me. One of my diversions Is to try to set an unpreju diced mental picture of civilisations The distance and detach ment of thia place seem to soften some human tollies. Others take on added significance. But from here the great folly of aU follies is the amazing attitude of civilized nations towards each . other. It seems a great madness.

Therefore, it appear to me that if a citizen desires reas onable prosperity and. well-being for his family. and his fellow , citizenst-he should strive for friendly understanding among the . family of nations.

A-Backward Step TTT-I t - " WW 3.. A. - X Itrtxi announcea piaa .-. oi "jrovernor iuaixm 10 ixansiex youthful convicts' from the state penitentiary to the.boya training school is a throw-back to antiquated ideas of penology that Oregon ought not to tolerate. It defies all progress in treatment of wayward youth. If carried out it will probably demoralize the constructive work of the state training school. It may be granted that it is a mistake to in carcerate youthful criminals with mature and old - felons. By the same logic it is dangerous to include with boys guilty if minor offenses, some of them mere children, the young men who have committed crimes mitment to the psnitentiary. . The proper person to assign finement is the judge. He'hears the case, knows the prin cipals, knows the conditions surrounding the youth and should know something of his possibilities for reform. He is the committing magistrate. He has wide latitude in exercise of parole powers. When therefore the judge commits a young man to the penitentiary or a boy to the training school that rommitment should stand until the sentence is completed or arole is granted. - : If to save money, because, the penitentiary is filling up, Hie state transfers the young convicts to the training school, It is apt to breed more convicts for the future. Undoubtedly the announcement of the transfer will arouse those interested In the training school and its inmates to strenuous protest The state does need an intermediate institution where first offenders may be confined, and thus segregated from hardened criminals. That the an institution does not justify shipping the young convicts to the training school where,boys are sent whose offenses are minor and whose prospect of reformation through training is ood. - ' . ; With no previously developed program for receiving the convicts or for their instruction and training, and no special staff trained for this new type of work the training school :annot help but suffer in the task for which it was created. ; Turning loose a few tough eggs of 19 and 20 with the child ren of 13 and 14, whose steps already have faltered in the path of right conduct is a threat which, citizens interested la the training of boys will not fail to recognize. : l- r - Lcmkc a Caadidatc HERE on the country's rim it is hard to see where William Lemke will get far as third party candidate for pres idency. He is not very well known, and his annbunce ment was prefaced by no "build-up of his name. Father Coughlin announced his support after Lemke declared his candidacy. Dr. Townsend said the matter would be referred to the Townsend convention which meets later in the sum , trier in Cleveland. . Lemke is not the candidate of the nascent farmer-labor party. That group plans no national ticket for this year. It looks to 1940 with Governor Olson of Minnesota or Senator LaFoIlette. Organized labor will not back him officially, be cause labor leaders are more astute and try to throw their influence where it win have real weight. , v While the chance for Lemke's winning the election are so slim as to be negligible, in spite of the talk of 20,000,000 votes and all that, his vote might have influence as a balance ef power factor. Even there the result is not dear. Some re publicans predict that Lemke will 1 draw off the radical fringe from Roosevelt, thus weakening the latter. Here again . one may not be too sure. Lemke is .best known in the centra northwest which is normally might injure the Landon cause. A safer conjecture, it seems at this stage. is that the Lemke vote will be small, far Bob LaFoIlette in 1924. Most where it wiU really count. That has always meant in this country a two-man race. Only . group to Lemke would give him there partisan feelings are apt the Townsend followers in their regular parties. . : .... ... .... , The democrats are considering abolishing the two-thirds rule.

KENT Ooprrisfci 19JV f The Bittlmore Ins Democratic Dissenters v 1 ; Vaabington, June 18. THERE ARB a great many regu lar Democrats this year in as un comfortable position. They have to cnoo8 one ot three alter natives first, they can - re main Democra tic and support a man whose Judgment they distrust, whose policies th ey ebhor and whose Democ racy they deny; or t h e y c a a stay away front the polls; or i frank B. Km they e a a Tote the Republics ticket. WHAT THE Individual Democrat does will depend upoa the depth of his dislike, of Mr. Roosevelt and the strength with him of the party labeL It la the first time such a choice has been forced upon reg ular Democrats in a good msny years. Ko one whose memory goes back, to the days of William Jennings 'Bryan - can help being impressed with the similarity ef the present situation to. that ex isting d Briar Mr. Bryan's three candidacies for the Presidency. While there are many differences, of coarse, still the party is split along identical lines and the po litical strategy as well as the po litical phllosophr of Mr. Bryan and Mr. Roosevelt are essentially the same. The Bryan effort was to array the workers and the farmers against , what he called the "Interests." This is exsctly the Roosevelt plan as made plain by hia i own speeches. Ty pro nouncements from such spokesmen; as Dr. Tugwell and by the general tone of the Democratic publicity. Both men make precisely, -the same class appeal. Each pictures the opposition to him as wicktd and each has the same effect up on conservative Democrats. . IT IS TRUE that the Constitu tional Issue was not raised in the Bryan campaign, but the revolt within the party was against what was considered the unsoundness of his economic policies,- It la true, too, that Mr. Bryan did not go as far to the left as Mr. Roose velt, bat he had the support, of the labor leaders of his day and, like Mr. Roosevelt, he was the hero ef the silver statesmen and inflation ists. And he had the support of the Progressive Republicans of his period, plus the,, crackpot rad icals. Mr. Bryan was beaten three times, because In addition te op position from the almost solid business element, a vast number of regular Democrats would not vote for blm. That is exactly the situation today. The business and professional elements are over whelmingly against the New Deal and in every State there are Dem ocrats who will choose one of the three alternatives above mention ed. - HOWEVER, this does not mean that Mr. Roosevelt will be beaten, because Mr. Roosevelt has politi cal advantages ot which Mr. Bry an was completely destitute. For example, Mr. 'Roosevelt is Presi dent ot the United States, backed by the weight of the greatest office-holding . machine the world has ever seen. He is clothed with immense Federal powers and the full strength of the State Demo cratic organizations. Mr. Bryan was on the outside, without mon ey, machine, patronage or power. And he was not in position to force hostile politicians of his own party into line. As a Roosevelt asset, too, can be listed the bil lions ot dollars placed in his hands for relief and public works and the other billions poured out la subsidies to the farmers. How ever much he may disclaim any political .use of, these vast sums. the fact remains that the local politicians supporting him -and his own political managers are squeezing the last ounce of polit ical advantage out of this money. Then, too, Mr. Roosevelt has the radio, which Mr. Bryan lacked. He has besides the most elaborate and extensive propaganda and publicity organization ever dream ed of in politics and a large army of press agents oa the Govern ment pay roll whose real Job la to popularize his Administration. AH of these things Mr. Bryan lacked and yet it required a great deal of work to defeat him. THOSE WHO feel that Mr. R. velt can be. defeated despite his great advantages.rest their hopes upon two ' general eoavtettons first, that the Republicans normally the major party and are united behind the Landon ticket. There is no sack. Republican dis affection as caused by prohibition and the depression in 1932. Sec ond, that the Democrats are nor mally In minority and are now badly split. Those things being true, under normal conditions the Democratic ticket should be doomed. But these are not nor mal conditions and It narrows down to two things first, the Extending ONE of the most hopeful signs for good government is the growing sentiment for civil service in federal offices. Already the civil service departments of government. the new agencies which were democratic "clearance". Friday the lower house defeated a biD to put aO first, second and third class postmasters under civil service. A roll call on the bill was, forced by Minority Leader SneH but it failed to receive a majority of the whole membership, the vote being 204 for to 112 against. Eventual ly the reform will come, however. - - , One of the bold stands taken by Governor Landon was his unqualified endorsement of universal civil service for all officials in the government under the higher ranks, irach as assistant secretaries of departments, and including all' post-masterships.- He made this clear in a telegram read at the convention before his nomination. It is a challenge for real political reform. - , " James Montgomery Flagg. oft the list of the six most handsome actors.
