-i The sections quoted by Jud?e L. H. McMahan in a
Safety Valve letter Tuesday morning' are in the Oregon con
stitution and so is the section quoted above, proving noth
ing, perhaps, except that regardless of legal training, anyone
who can find a copy of the state constitution is at liberty to
quote it. On the other hand it may prove that the constitution
makers intended the legislators to be somewhat immune from
legal action based upon their activities as members. Frankly,
neither set of quotations interests us greatly.
What does interest us is that Judge McMahan and a
number of Oregon editors and presumably a great many Ore
gon citizens are disturbed over the publicized shenanigans of
the rival candidates for speaker of the house. So far as those
candidates are concerned. The Statesman is neutral. They
are both fine, fellows, with good legislative records and un
questionably either is capable of presiding over the house
efficiently and disposed to preside over it fairly.
" But as was pointed out here several weeks ago, each of
these fellows has gotten himself into a stew over the contest
for the speakership, and as the indecisive struggle has raged,
each has been under temptation to make more and more con
cessions in order to tie up votes. Note that we have said
"temptation," not that this has been the case ; yet there have
been . intimations that the struggle has unwarrantably en
hanced the influence of a tiny ultra-liberal minority which is
credited with having definite plans to "rock the boat." If
they are, through some of the "concessions" suggested above,
placed in control of certain committees, this may be possible.
They may not get their legislation enacted but they will be
able to stir up a lot of trouble for the more conservative ma
jority, which the people chose to represent them.
Now the question arises,
bouse organization be such that
ing an equally small or even smaller minority of the voters,
be able to'seize the whip handle and maneuver the lash? It
wouldn't be possible, as Judge McMahan suggests, if the
members thought enough of their responsibility to the people
to refrain from making "deals." The judge thinks it can be
corrected in the courts. Leaving that question to legal
minds after noting that it never has been attemptedwe
believe the first resort, before damage has been done, should
be to public opinion.
In the present instance the solution is not difficult. We
do not believe republican members pledged their votes to
either candidate for the speakership in the knowledge that
they would be pawns in a game controlled by the radical
minority. We do not believe pledges made in the absence of
such knowledge should be binding, if it is now true that
such Is the state of affairs.
Bat we also believe that in order to avoid such embar
rassment in the future, precedent should be set either at this
session or, if the time is too short, at the next, that the houses
of the legislature be organized by the majority parry, as is
the case in congress. Such a precedent would facilitate order
ly and responsiblelegislation.

v j - Christmas spirit.
- If you succeed, you have an extraordinary imagination
but not necessarily a good imaginations The latter implies
' - some concession to facts and probabilities.
V-i , Charles Dickens, who had
wiui uie neip ui lour gnosis to restore ine innsrma3 spirit
to one Ebenezer Scrooge, a rather unlikely candidate but one
who had merely lost it How many ghosts would it take to
impose the Christmas spirit upon Hitler, who never had it?
, But never mind. The point is that Pope Pius XII has
proposed a Christmas truce and it has been turned down by
the high command of each principal belligerent. No one ex
pected Hitler to applaud the idea unless it happened to fit
in with his own plans and besides he waited and let Winston
Churchill reject it first. So that puts the burden of explana
tion upon Churchill, who is too busy to explain.
Some persons have tried to explain for Churchill and
others have roundly criticized him and in all of the discus
sions there appears to have been some shallow thinking, as
is likely to be the case where sentiment Is concerned.
What would a Christmas truce involve? As wars are
conducted nowadays it would involve a cessation of bellig
erent activity and belligerent preparations on the part of
each entire nation.
Not only would bomber crews and anti-aircraft bat
talions knock off work and go home to eat roast pig in Eng
land and -roast dog in Germany; the anti-invasion patrols,
the anti-fifth column squads and, more significantly, the
blockade enforcement flotillas would also be called In for the
day. If the blockade were not relaxed it would scarcely be
a truce, for that is currently the most potent weapon on either
eide.
Now the belligerents might conceivably trust each oth
er tentatively to cease for the moment from bombing each,
other, but human nature and war, being as they are, it is'
just too much to expect that either would refrain from tak
ing gross advantage of the letdown in vigilance that a Christ
mas truce would entail. .
, The chances are that Churchill will quietly issue orders
that the bombers stay at home on Christmas eve and through
out Christmas day orders to be countermanded if English
men's Yuletide observances are interrupted by the thunder
of the Luftwaffe. But there will be no official concession to
the enemy's questionable good faith. -
In the light of the practical difficulties just described,
one is all the mora disposed to agree, after all, with some of
those commentators "whose opinions have been tinged with
nentiment. There seems little point in making concession to
: y. the Christmas spirit whicn
prca&uoH ux uie uvisunss spu it wnen ao mucn ox numan
effort is being expended upon objectives so contrary to those
established by the Prince of Peace. A Christmas truce would
be so inconsistent with the times as to be positively revolting.
i , Housing . for Legislators
- The Spokane chamber of commerce has "invited" the
Washington legislature to meet in that city, following com
plaints that hou-Jng conditions in Olympia are "rotten" and
rates a "holdup. Leaving Olympia to defend itself, it would
pay Salem to take the matter to heart. -
There have been complaints that legislators and others
attending the sessions here in the past have been overcharged.
These complaints do not sound reasonable, at least with re
spect to the hotels ; for each year there are a number of -other
events in Salem which draw larger crowds than the legisla

How were the Insane persons ot
early Oregon taken care of? Well
they were Just "poor Toms," ana
had only prlrate care, like people
afflicted wltk any other kind of
sickness.
An old biographical sketch of
Dr. J. C. Hawthorne, la the Lewis
History of Oregon (ISIS), aays
that he went to California from
the East la 1SS. practiced med
Idne at Auburn la that state, and
la 18(7 came to Portland, and "In
18SS took charge of the (Ifaltao-
mah) connty hospital ander a con
tract from the county court, sub
sequently establishing a prlrate
aospital for tae insane." .
Later Dr. Hawthorne made a
contract with the state ot Oregoa
to keep its Insane at his hospital
in East Portland. This was dar
ing. the administration of John
Whlteaker. first governor-of the
state, 1851-1862. it mast hare
been in the last two years or less
of that administration, and It last
ed tin the state asylum for the
insane was ready, as heretofore
indicated, in 1882.
On Friday last, December 8,
this writer made inquiry concern-
lag the number of Inmates in the
Institution oa that day, aad found
it to be 2882. of whom 1241 were
women and 1421 men! Almost one
balmy woman for each balmy
man,, while the proportion at the
opening in 1888 was almost three
men to one woman!
It ran a long time till the pro
portion was more than one womaa
to two men. What has been hap
pening to increase the proportion
of women T Any good doctor who
will allow himself to be Quoted
will tell yon It Is the cocktail par
ties and the cigarette smoking
that la bringing up the proportion
of women. It these go on, the
balmy ones win soon be more tian
halt women.
An attendant ot the "clrll war"
football game at Corrallis a few
days ago told this writer that hun
dreds ot whisky bottles were In
evidence and that in each case
where there was a sharing ot the
contents ot a bottle by a womaa
and her escort, she took more than
her share and seemed to "hold"
It better than he did his smaller

sketch in the Dictionary of Amer
ican Biography:
S
"Sequoyah (1770 Aug., 1848),
inventor of the Cherokee syllab
ary, was born In the Indian town
of Tacklgi. Tenn. His father was
probably Nathlaniel Gist, a trader
who abandoned the mother, a
woman of mixed Indian blood, be
fore the birth of the child. Dur
ing Infancy and youth Sequoyah
seems to have borne only his In
dian name, later taking that of
his father, which he understood to
be Guess. He grew to 'manhood
wholly ignorant of the English
language and but meagerly ac
quainted with any of the arts and
usages of civilization.
"He was for some years a hunt
er and fur trader, but an accident
suffered on a hunting trip crip
pled him for life. He had a na
tural bent for craftsmanship,
which he turned to nse in a num
ber of ways, chiefly as a fashioner
of silver ornaments largely sought
by his people. Increasing contact
with the whites caused him to
ponder deeply over their 'talking
leaves' the written and printed
pages by which they communicat
ed Ideas and he resolved to mas
ter the secret and apply it to the
benefit of his people.
V
"It was about 1808 when he be
gan his study and It was not till
1821, after enduring, much ridi
cule and opposition, that he com
pleted his table ot characters for
the 86 or, 8 8 syllables in the Cher-,
okee language. A council ot chief
men of the tribe approved his
work, with the result that in a
short time thousands of his peo
ple had learned to read and write.
"In 1822 he visited the western
Cherokees in Arkansas to lntro-j

of a cigar store and hurry after
a middle-aged Individual who was
heading straight for a bar oa the

the bar. Sergeant Feathers touch

out to opea the door.
"Mr. Simon Osborne?
Before replying, Simon eyed
him from head to foot. Not to
be outdone. Feathers returned
the appraising glance.
Simon frowned. "You don't

said.

A good start, thought Sergeant
Feathers. He knew what Scotch

only two Scotches at a New

he had kissed all the girls, in
sulted all the men, and Insisted
on telling his life story to every
one, whether they wanted to
hear it or not.. The more Scotches
Simon Osborne drank, the better
for a certain bright young offi

Simon. "Whisky? No? Then why
not try a "ttnser'?"
"A 'stinger'?' said Feathers,
doubtfully. "What's that? Never

"Oh, It's a sort of cocktail.
Very pleasant, they tell me. Nev

me."
A sort of cocktail. . . It sound
ed harmless enough. Women
drank cocktails. Yes, Feathers
decided, a 'stinger would suit
him admirably. He would spin
it out. make it last a long time.
He would need a clear head to

tongue In the right direction
when it had been lubricated by
several Scotches.

When a conscientious objector

Conscientious objectors are di

do so because of religious train

Both, however, flu out form 47.
