of 1938 to scuttle the candidacy of Governor Charles i. Mar
tin for renomination, a matter of days after that agreeable
old soldier had obediently made himself look ridiculous try
ing to justify new deal spending. It was Ickes who rent the
democratic party in Oregon asunder so effectively that it
has never been able to grow together again. It was Ickes
who came back in the fall to
for governor as a man; "with
other on a banana peel." And
had been counted a few days
was no surprse and no rebuff
cessful republican candidate was a liberal !
To anyone not a rabid new dealer, the most remark
able feature of Mr. Wfllkie's acceptance speech was the re
spectful manner in which he referred to the president as "a
man npon Whose shoulders rest the cares of the state," and
the total absence of any unkindly personal reference to Mr.
Roosevelt. Yet the new deal spokesman .lashes out at the
"contemptible remarks5. . . with reference to the president
of the United States." But Oregonians, who know Ickes, will
understand that. ii
Then, in objecting to Mr. Willkie's challenge to a series
of debates, Ickes says he "was reflecting upon the dignity
and striking at the prestige "f an office which, as a candi
date himself for the presidency, it ought to be his zealous
duty to uphold and defend." We have a hazy recollection that
once upon a time, when the nation faced a crisis comparable
to that of the present 'day, a man named Lincoln did Hot
think it beneath his dignity to. engage in a series of plat
form debates. And significantly, we feel rather certain that if
Wendell Willkie were president and such a challenge were
addressed to him, whether he accepted or rejected it he would
not consider it an affront to his dignity. What is the presi-

For the rest, the Ickes tirade was a conglomeration of
vitriolic abuse based upon the peculiar slant which iclaims
for the new deal a monopoly on liberalism and humanitarian
principles, and a series of innuendos based upon fragments
of past statements by Mr. Willkie, torn from their context,
or upon asserted facts which the republican candidate has
branded "plain and simple falsehoods." The new dealers have
been combing Mr. Willkie's record; if there is anything
blameworthy in it, one would thing Ickes might have pro

nation may not be so clear but in Oregon, the friends of Will
kie and McNary are hoping the secretary of the interior will
speak, in this campaign, loudly and often. If there is any
doubt about the fate of Oregon's electoral votes, by main
taining a conspicuous rota in the campaign, Ickes will settle
it. Oregon knows him.
The Fall of Somaliland
With all proper respect to the area in question, our con
ception of British Somaliland is that it is like southern Mal
heur county, only more so. It is a country where there is
little moisture and no greenness ; where the dull, enervating,
muggy heat of the Red sea saps the energies of the nativs
and makes the existence of whites a torture; and where a
few unhappy sheep and goats, augmented by occasional strips
of artificially watered green keep body and soul together for
a small, and quite poor, population. Only the existence of a
single port, Berbera, makes the land remotely accessible ; and
iti major importance lies in being a base for other, more im
portant actions.
Malheur county in the southern part, is not the exact
counterpart of this dolorous description, because it is moun
tainous and rugged rather than flat and low, dry without be-

aoggy, humid days when the wind blows off a tropic sea.
Southern Malheur county in Oregon, for all its relative asper
ity, would be a much greater loss to the government possess
ing it than was the recent loss of Somaliland to the British.
.-The loss of Somaliland, briefly, was an Italian victory;
but it was hardly a British defeat. The land lies athwart the
Red sea, as noted above, but it is reached only from the
princely domain of imperial Italy, flea-bitten Abyssinia ; and
It is completely cut off from material or human aid from the
mainland of Europe or from the Italian colonies in Lybia.
It is continually vulnerable .along its coastline to the British
fleet; and it forms one more garrison into which Italian
troops must be poured for defensive, not offensive, duties.
AH that can be said for it is that temporarily it completes
the conquest of 1936.
. If this is the case, why did Italy bother to seize this cita
del of blacks and gadflies, from which the British residents
are presumably rather glad of an opportunity to depart? The
answer is double. In the first place the Italians wanted to
impress Germany; in the second they want some base from
which to attack, if they can, Aden and the British grip on
the east end of the Red sea.
The first of these, a sop to reported German dissatisfac
tion with Italian' big-talk which led to nothing, is perhaps
most important. -The second, by which the Italians hope to
grasp the Gulf of Aden from the British navy, is on the
verge of ridiculous, since a land -victory against a few thou
sand camel corps and lightly mechanized troops has exactly
no effect on battleships miles at sea. And so long as battle
ships are able to plow from Aden to Port Said and back
again, the Italian grip on Somaliland is a handful of dry sand.

and contradictions of his literary findings on this subject,
the public will doubtless hear with pleasure that the national
house of representatives, through a committee ? headed by
Rep. John II. Tolan of Oakland, is just now launching, an in
vestigation which will be official and may; possibly even
prove to be really factual and comprehensive. v
Encouraging in that direction, though perhaps disturb
ing in its. other implications in view of the new deal's pater
nalistic endeavors, is the fact that this investigation is ex
pected to become the basis for congressional action toward
solution of this problem. Whatever the congressional action
may be, for better, or for, worse, the fact that this investiga

sufficient facts are not already at hand lends some en

In advance of the findings, may we venture the predic

to work at once building the first
little log house of their mission.
Dr. McLoughlin had treated them
generously; furnished them eight
cows, eight calTes and eight oxen,
in exchange for the cows they had
brought from Missouri and left at
Fort Walla Walla, and sent men
to drive them to the spot, besides
a boat and crew to transport their
goods and theraselTes to Ufa site
of their future activities.
Before they could haul the logs
for their house, the oxen had to
be' broken. One of Jason Lee's
first tasks was to make ox yokes
without a pattern. Fences had to
be built to keep their stock.
But their neighbors (French
Canadians with Indian wires)
were good to them; gave them the
use of a tent pending their build
ing operations; helped them at
their house raising. The first Sun
day, October 12, numerous curi
ous visitors came; there was much
conversation in Canadian French,
a fair knowledge of which Jason
Lee had from his work In the
woods of Lower Canada. He did
not preach that Sunday, but gave
out an appointment at the house
of Neighbor Joseph Gervals for
the following Sabbath.
Says an account of that historic
sermon, the first one ever preach
ed in present Oregon: " 'Turn ye
from your evil ways' was the text,
and there was an attentive audi
ence at the friendly Gervals home,
with the Indian wife and Indian
slaves making every one comfort
able." "a S
On Sunday, Nov. I, 1834, Jason
Lee wrote In his diary: "Five
weeks tomorrow since we landed
here, and our house is not yet
completed. Four weeks our goods
were sheltered in our tents, the
last of which it rained most of the
time; and ourselves by a borrow
ed one very small and inconven
ient. Constantly employed. , . .
Have labored hard during the
week and walked two miles on
Sabbath and labored hard to in
struct the few who understand
us, in the things pertaining to
their spiritual peace."
President Andrew Jackson hav
ing given Jason Lee written au
thority to establish his Christian
mission in the Oregon Country,
then under the Joint occupancy of
the United States and Great Bri
tain, and having heard through
the writings of HaU J. Kelley.
and perhaps in other ways, that
the British through the Hudson's
Bay company were presuming
greater authority than their share
under the joint occupancy ar
rangement, in November, 183S,
did something about it. President
Jackson authorized Secretary of
State John Forsyth to send Wm.
A. Slacum, a purser of the United
States navy, to "proceed to the
northwest coast of America and
to the River Oregon, by such
means as he should find best,"
and ascertain the truth about the
whole matter.
Slacum went to Mexico, sailed
to the Sandwich Islands, charter
ed there the brig Loriot, was over
the bar of the Columbia river
Dec. 22, 1836; landed at Fort
Vancouver Jan. 2, 1837; on the
10th started in a canoe furnished
by Dr. McLoughlin to the Willam
ette valley; was met at Champoeg
by Jason Lee, to whom Dr. Mc
Loughlin had sent word. Lee
conducted Slacum from Champoeg
to the mission, where they arrived
at 11 on the night of January 14.
In his official account, Purser
Slacum wrote:
"Having received a commission
from the late Executive of the
United States . . .to Inquire into
the political, statistical and geo
graphical condition of the coun
try, . . J. determined to visit the
mission. Embarking in a light
canoe, with my servant and six
Indians, I soon entered the. Wil
lamette. ... Nothing can exceed
the beauty of this noble river: al
though it was now mid-winter,
the hills were clothed with ever
greens, and their sides were
fringed with ferns and wild
flowers to the water's edge. . . .
I was greeted by the friendly
voice of Jason Lee, who called to
me from the shore to direct me
where to land. ... I trust I shall
neither be suspected of partiality
or prejudice, in speaking of my
friend Mr. Lee as I think he mer-x
its; for I do not belong to the re
ligious sect that sent him thither.
I am, however, one of the few
white men who have seen Jason
Lee at his post, imparting mental
and physical instruction to those
who slumbered in the profoundest
ignorance of God'a command
ments. I have seen him erecting
the temple of God in the vast
wilderness; have seen him cast
ing aside the secretarlan preju
dices that might have influenced
4ther men. ... I have seen him,
too, arresting one of the greatest
evils to which the white and red
man are subject, by establishing
a temperance society among those
who are proverbially beyond the
pale of moral restraint. I mean
the trappers west of the Rocky
mountains.
"Let it not be imagined that
their exit was without danger or
difficulty; for it was not so. Ja
son Lea was openly reviled and
taunted by some of those by
whom he .was surrounded. . . .
The next night (Saturday. Jan.
11. 1837) about 11 o'clock we

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON.
Eugene. Aug. 20 Enrollment at
the University of Oregon, which
has shown an average increase of
more than 7 per cent each year
over previous years since 1935, is
expected to hit the 4000 mark for

President Donald M. Erb. Last
fall term it was 3815.
Cumulative enrollment for the
year is practically certain to pass
the 4000 mark in 1940-41, since
this figure last year was 3938.
The usual rate of increase would
bring it to over 4200, the report
points out.
In the past 20 years enrollment
has nearly doubled, growing from
1785 in 1919-20 to the 3938 total
in 1939-40. Increased has been
more than five times the total of
691 shown in the report of 1912

Auto-Pedestrian and Non-Collision
Mishaps Cause Most Highway Deaths
The two accident types which cause the greater propor
tion of the traffic accident deaths in Oregon are the auto
pedestrian collision and the non-collision mishap, according
to a survey of accidents which
occurred during the first six
months of 1940, results of which
were released yesterday by Earl
Snell, secretary of state.
Sixty seven per cent of the 111
traffic fatalities during the first
half of the year resulted from
crashes of these two types, Snell's
survey indicated. Pedestrian acci
dents accounted for 42 per cent
of the deaths and the non-colli
sion mishaps accounted for 25
per cent. Crashes between two or
more cars, the type of accident
generally considered in the pnblie
mind as the cause of most traffic
deaths, accounted for only 20 per
cent of the deaths reported during
the period.
Since 70 per cent of the pedes
trians Involved In fatal accidents
were committing some unsafe ac
tion at the time they were struck
and since most of the non-colli
sion accidents involve cars which
go off the highway on curves or
at other places due to speed too
great for conditions, elimination
of these two factors carelessness
on the part of the pedestrian and
speed on highways should be
the primary goal of the traffic
safety work conducted In this
state, Snell said.
The ages of persona killed In
tnese two types or accidents are
significant, the secretary of state
said. Sixty per cent of the pedes
trians killed were 55 years of age
or older while in non-collision ac
cidents, 60 per cent of the fatali
ties were persons between the
ages of 15 and 39.

.The court likewise announced
It proposed to Investigate everyone
who has been la the government
for -the past tea years, which
means that this Judicial antidote
for disillusionment will continue
to be fed to the people not for
months but for years, until the ne
cessity for it la ended.

A well known Frenchman in

claimed , la . amaxement: "Why
these men are hones tl" and wired

before them at any time.
The Initial procedure may have
seemed to Americana (and will
continue to seem) absurd legally.
This is due to the tact that the
court is following old Roman law
rather than English common law
such as ours. . Under Roman law
the Judges first conduct extensive
investigations of the case,: and
then after assuming who is guilty,
act aa prosecutors to develop the
public evidence to - sustain .their
Judgment.

Today's Garden
By LILLIE L MADS EN '
O.T. Yes, it is definitely toe
early to sow the sweet peas now
for next spring's bloom. If plant
ed now they will make too much
growth and will not winter as
well. Some gardeners sow them in
late October and some In Decem
ber or February.
Mrs. D.A. Don't feel bad be
cause your centaurea the seed
for which yon say yon paid a good
price turned out to be bachelor
buttons. Centaurea, cornflower
and bachelor buttons are all one
and the same thing. Some places
in the east the bachelor button is
prised quite highly. And they are
lovely when cultivated properly.
Yours should be as you ssy they
are "glorified wfth bachelor but
tons." There are also double va
rieties of these, and frequently
yon can purchase the'blooms even
from Oregon florists during the
winter or early spring months.
I do not know why your Scarlet
O'Hara and Heavenly Blue morn
ing glories did not come up. They
germinate rather slowly. Did yea
plant them in time? Yes. I havs
seen them in bloom so that I ds
know they come up. I happen te
have a few plants of both bloom
ing in my own garden. The Hea
venly Blue are immense. About
the best display that 1 have seen
of these is at the Sllverton'a hos
pital. They are a beautiful show
ing of an early morning.
