'. Corboation Oath r .
SUCH changes have occurred in the structure of the Briusn
empire in the" 26 years since the last kin j was crowned
i that the oath or on ice wmcn ueorge vi wiusuoscnoe w
has: been altered to meet the new conditions The principal
change is that the dominions are no longer subject to the
British parliament, but are self-governing, as a result of the
agreements of the conference held subsequent to the world
war. Another great change is the independent status of Ire
land in the new Irish Free state. In the text of the oath of
1911 the pledge covered the government of "the people of
this United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,; and the
dominions thereto belonging." The reference now is to "the
peoples of Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New
Zealand, and the Union of South Africa, of your possessions,
and the other territories to any of them belonging or pertain
ing." ::: V . -'-V-V--5 j " v ! -i ;
The second change in the tsxt of the oath deals with the
responsibility of the king toward maintenance of the Protest
ant religion. In the oath of 1689 the pledge was to support the
Cv'protestant religion established
I with Scotland which had its own established cnurcn, tne tres
VJrjvtprian. the text was changed to suDDort of "the Church of
England ... as by law established in England." j
The new change sets geographical restrictions to the
maintenance of the Protestant religion established! by law,
by inserting the words "in the United Kingdom." This is done
to show that no attempt is being made to enforce the Pro
testant religion in the Catholic Irish Free State or; in Buddhist-Mohammedan
India or in Coptic Egypt. There are many
who believe the retention of the old pledge to support the
Protestant religion Is an anachronism in the modern state,
just as there are many who believe that it is wrong to tax all
the people to maintain an established church. , J j
The following is the text of the new oath which will be
administered by the Archbishop of Canterbury: !
" The Archbishop: will yon solemnly promise and swear to
govern the peoples of Great Britain. Ireland, Canada. Australia,
v New Zealand, and the Union of South Africa, of your poases
' sions, and the other territories to any of them belonging or per
taining, and of your Emlpre of India, according to their respect-'
1 ive laws and customs? i ' - - :
- The King: I solemnly promise so to do. f
The Archbishop: Will you to your power cause law and Jus
tice, in mercy,, to be executed in all your judgments?
The King: I will.' -
The Archbishop :j Will spa to the utmost of your power
maintain the laws of God, and the true profession of the Gos
, pel? Will you to the utmost of your power maintain In the United
Kingdom the Protestant reformed religion established by law?
And will you maintain and preserve Inviolably the Settlement of
' th Church of England and the doctrine; worship. ! discipline and'
government thereof, as by law established in England? And will
, you preserve unto the Bishops and clergy of England and to the
churches there committed to their, charge all such rights and
privileges as by law do, or shall, appertain to them? j
The King: All this I promise to do.'
Among the older! forms of the oath may be quoted the
oath of Henry VIII: 1 ! ; !
' Will ye graunte'and kepe to the people of England, the laws
- and cugtumes to theym, as of old tyme rightfull and devoute
Kings graunted, and the same ratefye and censerne by tour
othe, and spiritual lawes.: custnmes, snd libertees, graunted to
the clergy and people of England by your noble predecessors and
glorious King Seint-Edward. 1.
! , After the Stuarts, one of whom was beheaded andean
other chased out of his kingdom, the oath Was drastically
-changed to reserve powers to
of 1689 subscribed to by William and Mary:
Will you solemnly promise and sweare to governe the people
of this kingdorae of England and the dominions thereto belong
v ing according to the statutes of Parlyament agreed on and the
laws and customs of the same? I
The date for the coronation is not far of i, now, being set
for May 12. Little, popular enthusiasm is reported. The heart
of the British people sank when Edward VI abdicated.
Though they, acquiesced in his step they have not been able
to revive interest in the coronation, now that another is to
be anointed with the holy oil, one whom they respect but have
not learned to love, i
' I Vice and
OTARTLING revelations have
3 employed by the district
cisco. Months ago testimony made public showed police
men; banking large sums of money .(one of them! said he
found his wad in a woodpile). Now the special investigator,
Edwin ,N, Atherton, a former G-man, directly links the po
lice; with organized vice, gambling and prostitution, with a
firm of bail bond brokers as the fixers.. Already as a result
of the publicity a police commission has resigned.' It was
shown that he owed the bail bond firm a note for $20,000.
The facts however will not be surprising to those who
jknow of the tie-up between politics and vice and crime, of the
close affiliation made by commercialized illicit agencies and
police under which the former flourish and the police (some
of them) grow rich "on protection money. The proposal of
Investigator Atherton that the affiliation be ended by the
legalizing of gambling and prostitution is not only surpris
ing, it will be shocking to thousands with moral sensibilities.
Says Atherton::. ... ;r .-ir; j
'Police graft has Its origin In prostitution. Prostitution; has
! existed from th beginning of time snd always will exist. Those
people who think that prostitution Is stopped beeanse of pro
hibitive legislation must be likened te the ostrich of popular re- L
r pute. - - ; - . i
"Prostitution should be licensed and subjected to close su--
pervision and regulation by some agency separate and apart from
the police department. It could well be placed under the control -'
of the health department of the city. f : j
The problem has -two aspects; one, the best method of
control of the vice Itself; the other, the best jway of minimiz-,
ing police graft. On the former phase opinion sharply divides.
Some people contend that the closing of segregated districts
merely results in the spread of prostitution all through the
residential sections of cities as well as in the rooming house
district, causing an increase in unlawful cohabitation. Others
claim that the opposite is true, that the"localized district be
comes self-advertising, and that
is due in considerable measure to the general moral break
down rather than to the closing of the segregated districts.
Here indeed is a field where' independent, intelligently
directed study is needed. The
is offensive, but it is conceivable that sticking to such abhor
rence may be hypocrisy if conditions are worse. Our personal
"opinion is conditions are not worse but the challenging state
ment of Investigator Atherton is enough to make one question
the correctness of his own opinions.

ity of hearing Mr. Robert H. Maguire of Portland in an

(Continuing from yesterday:)
"Even to this day, at a spot near
the Looney farm indicated by a
highway marker. wrote Maxwell,
"the curious traveler on highway
99-E may observe the curb of an
old well from whch the stage
horses drank some 70 years ago.
Maxwell added:
"A quart of apple seeds brought
across the plains by Mr. Looneys
mother were the foundation of
one of the earliest and largest
fruit . orchards in the Willam
ette valley. When the trees came
intOvbeaiing in the early IS 50s,
merchants from California visited
the Looney farm and boxed all
available fruit for the California
market. One. apple, it is said, be
cause of its very , large size and
luscious appearance, was placed
in a box alone and apart from' the
others. When taken to some flush
California mining ' town it was
promptly purchased by a miner for
$5 and Just as prcraptly given
away to an appealing child."
K S V S
Wrote Maxwell: "Jesse Looney
. . . served as a member ot the
provisional government legisla
ture." That was in the 184 S session,
the members frpm Champoeg
(Marion), county- besides Mr.
Looney being' Angus McDonald,
A. Chamberlain and Robert New
el L These four were a fourth of
the members, the whole number
being 1 S, convening on the first
Monday In December, TS46. That
legislature met at the residence
of U. M. Knighton, Oregon City,
who charged. 2 a day rent and
also served as sergeant at arms,
presumably without extra charge.
Knighton was the second marshal
under the provisional govern
ment. -
. V ,
That was quite an important
session, for the boundary question
had been settleed by ratification
of the U. S. senate June 15, 1846,
so the ownership of the United
States of the Oregon country be?
low parallel 49 (present Canadian
line) was known, and there was a
strong demand for territorial
government.
I That was destined to be a long
fight, and discouraging beyond
4be conception of the. If Oregon
legislators framing their demands
for their rights as citizens ot the
United States, and for. those of
prospective citizens.
! Looney was on the Judiciary
committee, which brought, in a
bill for a law revamping the crude
system first adopted, and, among
other things, secured the creation
of the office of circuit Judge at
3&00 a year, and A. A. Skinner
was chosen to fill the place.
: Frederick Prlgg, appointed sec
retary of the provisional govern
ment on the death of John K.
Long, Incumbent, was elected to
that office; Knighton, landlord of
the temporary state house, was
elected marshal. John H. Couch
treasurer, and Geo. W. Bell audi
tor. : An auditor and a treasurer
were considered necessary, though
there was not much money to
handle: When the Caynse war was
begun, early in 1848, by the pro
visional governmeent. it had Just
343.72 balance In its treasury,
and no credit. "
' Jesse Applegate and A. L. Lore
Joy had to pledge their personal
credit to the Hudson's Bay com
pany f-r the first supplies, arms
and ammunition.
That 184C legislature, in which
Jesse Looney. was prominent, hav
ing heard much complaint against
the imperial busbel being used by
the Hudson's Bay company in buy
ing wheat, taking too much bulk
and weight for each bushel, passed
a law on weights and measures la
which the imperial bushel was
abolished.
The most important matters
considered by that legislature
were those In connection with ad
mission to the union as a territory,
and a long series of memorials
to congress . were considered and
adopted.
These memorials bragged on
the country in a style that would
do credit to a present day real
They stressed the idea that the
United States government should
at once promote the construction
ot a railroad to the Pacific ocean,

They were nine years ahead of
Davis, who, in 1855, toward the
end of his term as secretary of

So the meeting Monday night is not "politically in
spired." It springs right from the people. Its genuineness is
evidence of the deep feeling which many people have against
the plan which seeks by altering the composition of the court
to alter its opinions. - " i
The controversy over , the supreme court is one of- the
most important battles in American history. The battlefield
is now in the senate of the United States. But the battle lines
extend out to the cities and villages and country places of
America. The meeting at the high school auditorium Monday
night gives an opportunity for the people, the "Citizens of the
United States to come together in protest against a plan
which entails such a grave subversion of traditional concep
tions of justice. - ; , ,

I have Just iiad occasion to go
to the dictionary for-a word, and
have had my usual experience.
Whenever I go to the dictionary
I not only get the definition and
pronunciation jl wish to get. but
am followed out by from one to
three other words. They remind
me .of stray, fand friendly dogs.
Amongst those which tagged
along on this occasion was the
word "eager., .which means im
petuous. Tenement earnest. Keen,
enthusiastic, and without aay de
, liberate intent . or malice afore
thought, as tney i say at ' murder
trials. I fell! to thinking of the
eager folks I ftave known and the
folks whom from -most of the
quality that gc&s to the makeup of
eagerness had been omitted. . er
whose enthusiasms had been left
on the field of life's grim battle
Ton see. a word's definition Is al
most entirely jlacking in interest,
or news valuer until it is given a
personal application.
Perhaps the, eager est man I've
known lived back on Crane creek.
He was eager! to get Items about
folks who had- lived to be very
old and had always-used 'tobacco
and drank whiskey. It was my
way to cut such Items from the
exchanges and; "give them to him.
and When I did this his face would
light up with: an! eagerness that
was. like a wet sunset. I suppose
he carried the dippings, to his
wife, who was the only ' woman
with red halt .and black: eyes I
ever knew, and fortunately for
the family, a tireless laundress.
He wished to convince : her, -1
think, that be was not quite so
serious a human washout as she
considered hint te be. He must
have been a heavy burden for her.
because he drank whiskey con
stantly and Was far from being
one of the good old southern type
of topers who carry their liquor
well, the ability to do which, you
may remember, was Impressed
upon Richard Carvel "bf Virginia
by his father,! the colonel, , as be
ing absolutely! essential to a gen
tleman. Furthermore, this Crane
creek man smoked a pipe which
at times, when the wind blew
from a certain quarter, aroused
complaints from the county seat
16 miles distant. I
I recall.' It ; seems to me. more
faces among folks I hare associa
ted with,-whose spirit was of an
eager type than I recall faces from
which -all eagerness had fled.
