BENDRICXS f Westerner on Supreme Court When Justice Felix Frankfurter was appointed recently as successor to Justice Benjamin Cardozo, general approval of the selection was tempered, in the west, by regret that this portion of the United States remained without representation on the supreme court. When the fourth vacancy on. the court to be filled by President Roosevdt occiirred hrougKthe.' re tirement of 'Justice Louis" D. Brandeis, hopes that the west would receive recosmition were revived. The president took this sectional issue into consideration .! hairing tia nrnmntinn nf William O. DoUZlhS in mind, made some inquiry as to whether the west would claim Mr. krkniiis ;t. vom wmt roAnnnsn-he -received cannot be known, but at any rate the decision was made and Mr. Doug las will soon take his olace upon the supreme bench. The Statesman, as one newspaper which has emphasized the desirability of a western appointment, is constrained to recognize the selection of Mr. Douglas as one which qualifies. Although he attained his legal education at Columbia univer .. mt Vflv on lofer wn a law nrofessor at Yale, he was born in Minnesota and acquired most of his earlier edu cation in Washington state, including collegiate training at Whitman college, Walla Walla. He married a LaGrande, Ore gon, girl. He taught in the high school at Yakima and after attaining a law degree, returned there to practice. It was obvious that whoever was chosen for this vacan cy in the supreme court would be a new dealer. Justice Bran deis was a liberal, so the general complexion of the court re mains unchanged as it did when Frankfurter was appointed. Douglas has been chairman of the securities and exchange commission and has just recently been in the limelight due to his staunch opposition to Wall Street's proposal to amend the securities act of 1934. He said the proposed amendments would "bring the pool operator back into the market, and re Store objectionable conditions that prevailed in 1929. . . Subject to the. general criticisms as to viewpoint that may be raised against any "authentic" new dealer, Douglas is obviously an able, well-grounded lawyer of great intellect ual capacity, a man who has risen on his own merits. His ex perienceon the SEC will prove valuable to him on the bench; he will be one justice who knows the problems of business from direct contact, even though his acts liave been viewed in some instances as inimical to business and in more frequent instances as impracticable. It is not likely that the appointment will encounter even the outside opposition that met the Frankfurther selection, which did not -extend to the senate committee or the senate itself. As for the "westerner" question, it is certain that Yak ima, Walla Walla and Whitman college will claim him as their own, and Oregon will take their word for it. aanmammi nmnm n snnaanmmnnw mmmnammmmment Birth Rate Decline Permanent? If it is true that the birth rate in the United States has gone into a permanent decline, the fact merits the serious con sideration that it has been accorded by the authors of several recent mairazine articles. One of these, taking it for granted that the decline which started some years before the depres sion cannot be reversed, painted a word picture of the future results mostly had. . The birth rate within the area in this country where births were registered representing less than half of the pop ulation at that time was over za per iuuu 01 popuiauon in 1915, The registration of births has extended now to almost the entire nation. Births dropped in the World war period almost to 22 per 1000, then rose again to over 24 in 1921 as a result of termination of the war; after 1921 they declined steadily to 16 per 1000 of population in 1933, low point of the depression. - . But in 1934 there was an increase to 17.1: slight drops in the next two years, a rise in 1937 to 17 and another indi cated on incomplete data in 1938 to 17.8, the highest birth rate since 1931. The figures indicating a decline relate only to a period of 24 years; and while the trend has been steady, that is too brief a period for any definite conclusions. It has not been demonstrated that there has been a permanent, irreversible change in the physical and mental makeup of American young people of reproductive age that will forever reduce their abil- itv and desire tn brinor children into the world. v - Birth rates in nearly all civilized countries dropped in the same period, while in the less-civilized countries they re mained constant or fluctuated for reasons difficult to trace, though in some cases the corresponding fluctuations in death - rates indicated that food supplies and general neaitn conai tions in those countries were the principal influences. World-wide experience indicates that nothing much can be done about the birth rate directly; Germany has had some success in forcing it upward, Italy encountered total failure in similar attempts. But there is good reason to believe that a restoration of confidence in the future, a reasonable expecta tion that children brought into the world will find a place for themselves in it, will result in restoration of a reasonable birth rate. The cyincs who are fond of declaiming that "hu ; man nature doesn't change' are on the affirmative side in this , particular argument. : r l Salem's Champions L J - . Laudation of the Salem high school Vikings who, some what to their fellow-townsmen's surprise and possibly their own, captured for their school and city their fifth state high school basketball championship, is now in order. - Praise of these boys' athletic prowess and the tactlca1 skill and leadership displayed by their youthful coach, this column win leave to The Statesman's competent sports ed itor. However, certain aspects of the Vikings' rise to preemin ence are peculiarly appropriate for mention in this column. "No Salem high basketball team ever had such team work." was a remark frequently heard last week in the Wil lamette gym. Teamwork is largely a matter of skill and per sistent drill but in the final analysis, and in the supreme test, it depends greatly upon mental attitude. No matter how diligently a coach may strive to instill teamwork, he is often helpless to achieve it if there is one player of such ability as to be indispensable, whose , ambitions are personal rather than for the team. s , - There was no such player on the Salem high team 0: 193$ and. that is one important reason, paradoxically, why two members of the team did achieve personal honor in selec tion on the au-state quintet: ; . h : y 'J; In the matter of sportsmanship, likewise, the Salem team of 1939 left little to be desired. It now remains for the team's ' fellow-students and " fellow-townsmen f to demonstrate their appreciation of the Viking basketeers' success. Suitable recog nition will be forthcoming; a recognition the more gracious because by their actions these boys have said, like a certain Addison character, "But we'll do more, Sempronius ; : we u deserve it" ' " v ' Whenever a big passenger airplane crashes, it seems, some prominent persons are included in the casualty list The wrecking of the stratohner ' near Tacoma comes as a new shock to the air travel scientists who believed they were mak ing great strides toward air safety. Once again, investigation of the causes is hampered by the fact that all on board per ished. But the tragedy may be pieced together with suf f icienl thoroughness that its grim lessons may be utilized to future advantage in the struggle for complett conquest of the air. If or about members t-Sl-SI of Daniel Boon elan . who earn early to Oregon. , , and their klnamen elsewhere! V The letter which follow, from John . EUenbeckcr, Marrtrille, Kanaaa, dated March 1C. to this columnist la self explanatory: "JL think X wrote to yon recently relatlT to . kind words about my book ("The Jayhawken of Death Valley") and alio my gratefulness for your request for information relattre to the Boon descendants who mored to the Pacific coast. : V "Recently . a lady - from Salem sent me two clippings from a lie Mlnnrllle paper, telling of such descendants. One of these was real good. This is it: ; M 'Mrs. W. J. Carter, 81, a grand niece of Daniel Boone, the -pioneer plainsman, died Feb. C, 13 1. at Vancourer, Washington. Funeral services were held Thurs day at Knapp's funeral parlors and. burial was In the beautiful Park Hill cemetery there. -V" . S- S I " " 'She was born in Missouri In 1852, and resided in - Iowa, Ne braska and Kansas before coming to Washington in IS 19, where she had resided since. She is survived by nine children, IS grandchild ren, 21 great grandchildren, and two great - great grardchildren. and one brother." " The other Item refers to Mr. and A. G. Boo-e of McMlnnrUle, Oregon, who recently visited the world's fair ': San F ancisco. S . Of course Mrs. Carter would be a descendant of one of Da Boone's brothers or sisters. "I believe I wrote to you that Daniel Boone's grandfather (George Boone) came from Eng land in 1717 and settled near Philadelphia. He had 11 child ren, nine sons and two daughters; one of those sons Squire Boone was 'Daniel Boone's father. "Daniel Boone was born in 736, and he had five sons and four daughters. Two sons were killed in the Indian wars; so only seven chudren grew up and had offspring. S So there can he very many Boones in the United States, even descendants of the great hunter. squire noone naa seven sons and four daughters. Daniel Boone was one of those, seven sons. , Hecenuy 1 naa a letter irom a very fine gentleman, 94 years old. living in Beatrice, NebraskaThe parents and grandparents of this gentleman A. L. Green lied in Pennsylvania, Virginia and Ken tucky, where the Poones lived. Mr. Green has an old marri age certificate (Quaker style) per taining to a couple married in 7S. Thirty ' '- w! esses sign ed this certificate; among those names are the names of George Boone (the grandfather). Squire Boone (the father) of Daniel Boone, and all of Daniel Boone's uncles and aunts and many of the neighbors of the Boone family. v 'These people were aU Quakers, were all of Abraham Lincoln's people, who lived in the territory of and among the Boones. 'It is claimed that Daniel Boone's lomahawk (steel) is in the Kansas lauseum at Topeka. S 'm 'I have wirtten to the Carters and Boones mentioned in those two cUppings." So ends the EUenbecker letter. S 'm Two more Boones of the Da: iel Boone clan are known to be In Oregon known to this writer. A further report on them will be made In this column at a later date. S A hurry-up ell! Salem will be 100 years old next year. She wIU not have another chance to celebrate such an event. It is high time preparations were being made. Here, and near here, Protestant Christianity and modern civiliza tion were started west of the Rockies. This is the highest point of his tory fronting Balboa's ocean in all the Americas, with respect to a government of, by, for the people. and as related to Protestant Chris tianity. Who or what organization is to move? . Willamette university should have a great part, for it is older than the city, older than the state, or the territorial govern ment, almost as old as even the provisional form, which and the institution had a common origin, tne Jason Lee mission. Surely, no one in Salem wants to wait another 100 years. The year 1840 was the year of Beginnings. Let's have action! t'SpiingBieMXp!" 1 TUX8BAT 1S7I X. T'.SO N'w. T:4S Timm O'lHy.

A crime laboratory makes blood analyses to determine whether stains found are from human or animal blood. It performs ballistics studies on bullets recovered from a mur dered man to ascertain if the bullets were fired from a gun owned by the alleged murderer. Analysis of the contents of human stomachs for poison traces frequently lead to a mur der as in the recent St, Helens mystery which, also led to two. other murders.: ' -- t -v- :4-v?- j: '' The work of such men as Luke May at Seattle, August VoUmer at Berkeley and Dr. Menne all center on removing the element of reasonable doubt" from a jury's minds In criminal cases. The laboratory, if efficiently and not extrava gantly run, can save the state heavy costs in trying persons without proof sufficient for conviction. Contrawise it will be invaluable in establishing guilt in -hairline cases.' ' - When The Statesman, several months ago, discussed the possibility that government ownership of the railroads might not be far distant, it may have seemed a radically new idea. But events move rapidly in these times; now leading railroad executives are reported to be studying a proposal for rather drastic legislation "as a last resort to stave off nationaliza tion in some form."

He added that they preserved their Dexetay thempaoa discipline, how over,: In an exemplary manner. I keep wondering why tne Ger man soldiers flushed., Was it re pressed anger at the fail are of the "protected" to fall upon their knees in gratitude to the "protectors?' Was it. perhaps. annoyance that the spick-and-span tanks of a conquering ar my that has never encountered a shot should be smeared by the snowballs cf the infidels? Or was it. perhaps, something else that caused a blush to mount to the cheeks of the inraders? Did the soldiers o the German ar my remember, perhaps, another army that "tood at Ypes? Did they recall the troops flat stood in the swamps at Tannenburg? Did they remember the fame of an army whose dead lie in rows on rows, mute reminders of a struggle In which Germany once, tor four years, kept half the world at bay? The United States stood opo- site Germany in that war. But when It was over no hoaest per son could fail to pay tribute to the heriosm of German soldiers. But this New Heroism? What ia this new sort of warrior who attacks only when he has first undermined his oppoaent by treachery, confused him by pro paganda, seduced him by lies and false promises, disintegrated him from within, and disarmed him? What manner of a man ia the New Hero who enters with a great apparel of banners, armed aad helmeted, accompanied by bombing planes, tanks, machine guns, only when It is certain that he is perfectly safe and likely to encounter only weep ing women, terrified Jews and disarmed men from between whose clenched teeth come the strains of a national anthem sung into the air to be drowned in bugles and drums? Who is this new superman who burns asylums over the heads -of orphaned babies, lays brands to churches and syna gogues, and drives the homeless and destitute before his bayon ets? Let It bo written down to the credit of the German Army a German soldier blushed. The Csechs, the reporters said, covered their faces with their hands as the German troops passed by. Was it to hide the sight of their "conquerors?" Or was it something else that Im pelled the gesture-? Was it the counterpart of the German sol dier's" blush? The face of demo cracy is hidden in Its hands lest the world see upon it the stri cken look of cowardice, the bit ter look of self- disdain. What way out of this self disdain? Obriously, the New Heroism. For there are, amongest the Csechs, those weaker and more than helpless even than they! The racial and political minorities! Therefore, turn upon them and demonstrate in the face of the German soldiers that the manly instinct is not yet dead even in the democratic heart Thus, they hurl over the the frontiers not, of course, the in vading hosts but the most de fenseless of their own citizenry, flinging them out of the ca reening sleigh' to appease the yodelling wolves. None escapes the New Hero ism! Did not Mr. Chamberlain send Lord Runciman to scold the CsechosloTak war monger? The British Empire demonstrated that it could use all its vast power to assist in the subjuga tion of that dangerous republic of fifteen million souls. After ward the conquering hero, re turning from his dangerous plane ride, had flowers strewn in his path. Thus, today, are heroes made. e Mother, you didn't raise your boy to be a soldier? That was your great mistake. You want to preserve his life? You want him to bo safe, do you not? Then, by all means, bring him up to be his country's warrior, so that he may safely Invade against snowballs. Do not encourage hliu to re main a civilian Above all. An nnt encourage him to be In any sense a non-conformist. Asleeo in his bed. he mav be bomber! fmm tti air! Brave In his opinions, he may bo sent- wandering through out the world! Encumbered with ft religion or the wrong grand mother, he may rot In a concen tration camp. But in a uniform, helmeted and armed, accompanied by a tank, or aloft in a .ri motored bombing plane, he is safe to massacre babies wo do not for get Guernica or to ttke a city where his only annoyance may be the song in the snowy streets of a soon-to-be-forgotten air.

'They" are to blame. Not, by any calculation, we, too. Just "they." It was for this, mother, thai you told your little boy stories of the Father of His Country wh,. could not tell a lie. It was fo this that you taught him about Valley Forge and Appomattox. It was tor this that you re counted to him the story of St. George and the Dragon, of Don John of Austria arainst thu Turks, of Wllhelm Tell, of the miner and Frederick the Great, of King Arthur and his Round' Table. It was for this that vnu read him the words of John of Gaunt in "Richard IT" and the word of Brutus in ".iniii, Caesar.- It was for this that we wrote the heroic words on the Plymouth iiock monuments; It was for this that we battled with the wilderness That vour child miaht all n nut in the dark and stick a nasty poster on the clothine shoo of some American villager whose father came from Poland and who has done no man harm.
