LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES.
FOR legislature, In thla county, the real conteat
next Friday will be for the Republican nomina
tion to the Houae. .
For Senate, H. C. Wheeler la uncontested In the
third district and Elwln A. McCornack 4a uncon
tested In the fourth (Linn and Lane) district for
Republican choice. There la a similar condition on
the Democratic aide where L. L. Ray Is alated aa
Wheeler's November opponent and C. A. Schooling
as the November challenger to McCornack.
Likewise the Democrats present Frank Carll,
C. F. Hyde and Belle Lydlck unopposed as their
preference for the three soats Lane county has In
the Lower House. As the final election approaches
we will diBCUss the claims of these candidates.
For the present, Interest centers on the Repub
lican race for the House and the merits of these
candidates:-
Earl Hill, Cushman merchant senior member
of the Lane county delegation, running for third
term, generally considered the most likely choice of
his colleagues at Salem for the Important post of
speaker of the House.
Charles A. Huntington, Eugene fuel man run
ning for aecond term; served on Important commlt
teea during first term; well thought of at Salem aa
t man of poise and constructive talents.
Howard S. Merrlam, Goshen fruit grower run
ning for first term, prominent In agricultural affairs,
retiring prldent of Lane County Chamber of
Commerce, leader In highway development
Kenneth Nielsen, Eugene poultryman present
head of the poultrymen's cooperative here, gener
ally regarded as successful farmer, making his
aecond raca for nomination, clalma progreaslve
principle! on all points.
Jamea K. King, Eugene lawyer generally con
ildored man of ability, ran for district attorney
asveral years ago, liberal h views.
F. 0. Heffron, Eugsns lawyer long prominent
m s "dry," ran for congress on dry platform.
Bmmett Howard, Eugene served several terms
t. Hons, but. In our opinion, without much ability
t merit, famous mainly tor big talk and promises,
ths "Major Hoople" ot Lane county politics.
To tha Republican voters ot Lane county w rec
ommend Hill, Huntington and Merrlam aa without
quwtlon tha beat three candidates. They are not
only Qualified by character and tomperament but
known by constructive performance.
Beware the candidate who tells you that he Is
going to tarn things upside down and tnsld out at
lalem single-handed. There are many legislators
from many parts of a large state. Legislation la
laborious process of working with other men, keep
ing working contact with, the governor and other
administrative officers, meeting the public In long
drawn bearings, bringing the practical and the pos
sible out ot the vagus and visionary.
No candid legislator will pretend that he can
produce tha perfect. Tha best he can promts la to
work honestly and openly for tha beat result.
In recant years, the Lan county delegation at
alem has been powerful In spits of Ita small site
because of the recogntted ability and honesty ot tha
man In 1L Lane county has too much at ataks to
risk Its legislative fortunea with any but the ablest
and moat experienced. In our opinion, Hill, Hunt
ington and Merrlam are outstanding by every lost.

FOR DISTRICT JUDGES.
TfOR district judgeships In the primaries next
Friday, the voters ot Lane, Denton, Lincoln,
Coos, Curry and Douglas counties (the second
Judicial district) will find four candidates on the
ticket tha separate, nonpartisan judicial ballot
provided for by the 1931 legislature. Three of the
four are to be elected. Each rotor may vote for
three of the four candidates.
The four candidate are George F. Bklpworth,
of Eugene; Jntnca T. Brand, of Marshflold; B. L.
Eddy and Carl E. Wlmberly, of Rosehurg. Judge
Sklpworth haa had 19 year of distinguished service
on the bench. Judge Brand has had many year
nf service and I rocogntsed a one of the ableat
Jurists In the country. There should be no question
as to the vote for these two candidates.
The only real contest I between Judge Eddy
who was appointed to the bench last year to
succeed the late Judge Hamilton, and Mr. Wlmherly.
It la a continuation of tha contest which was waged
before Governor Meier at the time the appointment
was made. Douglas county haa been divided quite
sharply nn I ho merits of the two cumllriittna. Judge
Eddy had been atnte senator from Douglas county
and he had been helpful to Governor Meier. He
won the Initial context.
Practicing lawyer aay that both men are well
qualified is to legal training and experience. Aa
Judge, either man would he fair and honest. Doug
las county people say the Issue In that community
la one of personalities. Always a man of aggressive
opinions. Judge Eddy ha made either strong antag
onisms or strong friendships. Wlmherley friends
Claim for him "a superior Judicial temperament."
Our thought Is:
Sklpworth and Brand, ot course!
. Between Wlmberly and Eddy mak your own
fhotre.
BETTER EXAMINERS OR BANKERS?
QNE question raised by the recent disclosures of
the Perora Investigations l: "Where were the
bs-.k examiners when so many banks were making
unsound and apeculatlv loans and Indulging In all
sort of devious practice to cover up?" The Ore
gnnlan discussing disclosures connected with the
big bank failures In Cleveland makes a call for
"a higher tyre of bank examiner' to enforce the
new safeguards on banking proposed In the Glass
stsgl gel.
No doubt the service of bank examination could
bs Improved and should he Improved. Too often
laminar have been men who have failed with
loelr on bub who have landed comfortable
and well paid job through Influence. Too often
they hare been merely superior clerks. If examiners
are to exercise any effective control they must be
a well trained In every branch ot banking as the
bankers they examine.
But may we point out that tha fundamental
weakness In American banking 1 the Jack of any
very high standards In selecting the men who
operate the banks. Director are usually men of
Inherited mean or jnen aucceasful In other lines
of business but seldom men trained to banking.
Banking executives themselves have been conspic
uous for their feeble understanding of economic and
Industrial trends. It was banker Ignorance rather
than banker crookedness which mads most ot tha
big wrecks. Moat of the Illegal acta were In trying
to cover up mistakes and stare oft the crash.
Take the big Cleveland banks. During the boom
period (with one notable exception) they tumbled
over themselves to loan money to tha far-flung
Van Swerlngen enterprises. Th Tan Swsiingen
boys were the horns town "big ahota". Hadn't they
made millions f Hadn't they attracted even J. P.
Morgan' notice? Banker and bank examiners
were equally blind to the consequence ot endless
pyramiding; both agreed that these loan were
absolutely "first class." The same was true of the
big mortgage and Investment promotjons which the
smart ban .'en Iv.cked.
In Cleveland, aa In Detroit and other center,
there were some first class rogues In the banking
picture but the real trouble lay In tha much larger
number ot "smart guys" who were really "dumb
bells" of the most colossal. They didn't
know a speculative risk when they saw It. They
had absolutely no Insight Into world affairs and
their economic results. They believed with a Chris
tian sincerity that "graph alwaya ran UP." Not
till double liability made paupers out of many who
had been millionaires did some of them wake up.
No system of bank examinations can protect the
public against conditions like that. Banking Is
really one of the learned professions, almost one
of the great arts. The keystone of British auccess
1 recognition that bankers must bs carefully
trained and even more carefully selected for their
work.
SOME PORTRAITS OF MOTHERS
(WITH NO APOLOGIES TO WHISTLER)
MOTHERS Of OREGON
On the campus ot tha University ot Oregon
Is a statue, the figure of a pioneer mother, a
figure of great dignity and grace. No state has
richer traditions of motherhood, courageous, self
sacrificing than has Oregon, for ths great trail
to the new homeland In Oregon was made not
merely by the men but by the heroic women who
braved all dangers with them.
It la peculiarly appropriate that the Univer
sity of Oregon Mother should be guest of honor
at this season, on the campus and In the com
munity. They have rendered distinguished ser
vice to the Institution In which their sons and
daughters are being educnted. They have shown
a fine understanding ot the Ideals of education,
and they have fought Intelligently and with cour
age for Its preservation. They have had an able
and progressive leader In Mrs. A. M. Dibble, of
Portland.
There are times when many people look with
doubt upon the future of education, not only here
In Oregon, where we seem to have had more than
our shars of troubles but sverywhere In the coun
try. There need be no fear for education. Ths
women of ths country ars responsive to Ideals.
Arouaed, they are a power, as ws bavs reason
to know and appreciate. Under their command,
and they do command wherever children ars con
cerned, education will go forward.
Mother' Day should be mors than a day of
sentimental Interest. It should bs a day which
calls attention to the many constructive works
which women are pursuing, through their P.-T. A's,
their clubs, their church organisation, as individ
uals. It has often been said that svsn suffrage
ha tailed to make them effective. This la true
only In terms ot political organisation. Let any
real crisis come, and they are a power to reckon
with.
Where any real Ideal I concerned, they are
Incorruptible, Implacable, uncompromising. Which
la mors than ws sons of women can boast.

GLEEMEN'S SPRING CONCERTS.

The Oleemen have had a notable season. They

Christian Century editorial, refer
ring to the above results, saya: "With
regard to the ministera who have
shown their readiness to stand up and
be counted in this fashion the nation
can have no doubt as to their mean
ing. More than a tenth of the Pro
testant ministers and Jewish Rabbis
must be reckoned as having definitely
rejected the moral pretensions of the
old order of American life and started
on their march towards a new com
munity more In according with their
understanding of the nature of the
Kingdom of God. Numerically, these
men constitute only a small minority
of the American ministry. But moral
ly, intellectually and spiritually their
Influence la beyond all calculation."
Secretary of War Darn: "There is
much dispute as to who won the war.
The plain fact is that nobody won.
Everybody lost. The war was purely
negative in character and the cost
was ruinous. In a prolonged modern
cidental persona. Be that as it may,
there are facts to understand, truths
to be justified, and faulty postula
tiona to be scrutinized.
He pointed out that after three
years with the admission of Philip
pine independence, revolution will in
evitably occur. The general based his
contention on purely kis'torical basis.
This is true especially when we look
back at the American revolution,
which was actuated entirely by the
slavery problems, augmented, of
course, by the economic and political
difference in theory between the
northern and southern states. We do
not have slavery in the Philippines.
Could a historical revolution occur in
the Philippines? The political and
economic theory which helped breed
the American revolution originated in
the slavery question. How could the
Filipino people wage a revolution
when we do not have such a terrible
ignltor. the oppressors and the op
pressed? Uprisings and revolutions
have in many cases been the price
which Independent peoples have had
to pay in order to consolidate their
Institutions. If it is written that the
Filipinos shall pass a terrible ordeal
they will not hesitate to do so. nro-
Uvided they could be masters of their
destinies. Uprisings, however deplor
able, are often inevitable when con
atitutional means are impotent to re
store the reign of love. But despite
of all, I do not believe in the possibil
ity of a revolution if independence is
granted. By nature the Filipinos are
peaceful lovers of public order and
it is hazardous to affirm that after
Independence there will not be a
firmer union among the Filipinos
brought about by the new sensation.
General Hammond speaks with an
authority but I am sure there is an
incongruity In his statement when he
said: "Japan will step in and protect
her rights." in the Philippines "in
case of a Philippine revolution, in re
ferring to the Japnnese-Monchukuo
venture. The Manchurian situation Is

this increase is not now looked upon

interests. At th same time, we are
told to develop our country econom

would seem, therefore, that we are
between the devil and the deep blue

the economic structure of the Philip

THE POLITICIAN
The Politician throws hi shoulders
back and straightens out hi tie.
And aay, "My friend, unless it rains
the weather will be dry,"
And when this thought into our minds
has perculated through
We common people nod our heads and
loudly cry, "How true!"
The Politician blows his blossomed
nose, and clears his august throat
And says, "My friends, the ship will
never sink ao long as it's afloat."
Whereat we roll our solemn eyes, and
applaud with main and might, - -And
slap each other on the back, and
ssy, "By gosh, he' right."
The Politician waxea stern and warm,
hi drone becomes a mighty roar,
And says, "My friends, I say to you
that two and two make four."
And thereupon our doubts dissolve,
our feara are put to rout,'
And we agree that here's a man who
knowa what he's about.
The Politician rolls his shitty eyes,
and gives a well known smile,
And says, "My friends, you know my
work has always been worth while."
Whereat we simple folk lose our poise
and all our self control,-.
And shout with . childish glee our
blessings on hit soul.,
The Politician growa bold and rune his
finders through his hair.
And ayjr"My friends, elect me end
have plenty and to spare.'-'
This knocks us over for a roll, and
tears are shed by one and all;
And we know that under his direction
the country will never falL
The Politician now haa a piteous look
we need more money, he wails;
And says, "My friends, the way to get
it ia to place a tax on sales.''
Whereat we moan and look the part
under the magic of his spell.
And then decide to supply his wants
if be sends us all to hell.
The Polltlcisn beams with glee, for
he knows his battle Is won.
And says, "My friends, the thing to
fear ia "Spots Upon the Sun."
This is too much, and the air resounds
with many a joyful cheer.
And right here before us stands
great prophet and seer.
The Politician nods hia head in thanks
and gestures long and low.
And says. "My friends, the day will be
calm it the wind doesn't blow;"
Whereat we all arise and lustily sing
a very well known anthem.
And the ladicB amile and say, "Now
isn't he cute and handsome?"
The Politician dismisses us with many
blessings for one and all;
And says, "My friends, the summer
will last way up until the fall."
And so we elect this leader of men
and crown him with our glory,
And let him spend our hard earned
cash while we set around and worry.
The Politician climbs into hi fine new
car that we have bought for him.
And says, "My friends, a fish will
never sink as long as it can awlro."
And we furnish him with fine offices,

And then wonder why "We're In a

It would be desirable If the princi
pal powera of the Pacific could
reach an agreement guaranteeing the
neutrality of the islands. International
relations are slowly evolving toward
concord and peace, and a treaty of
neutrality would be a good guarantee
of the external safety of the Philip
pines. This scheme is fessible be
cause of the geographic position of
the Philippines with the great water
wnys, which separatee her from the
rest of Asia. Again it it argued that
the four party treaty in which Eng
land. France. Japan and the V. S.
agreed to respect the territorial In
tegrity of the Philippines while under
the American flag, these naliona
should have no reason to object in
respect to the neutrality of an in
