KIWAN1S UPON T Government is like the dlvlnp power that helps those who help themselves and beneifts accrue to those who take an active part in Its many ramifications, James W. Motl, of Astoria, member of the house of representatives of the Oregon legis lature and candidate for congress man against Willis C. Hawley, of Salem, told the Kiwanis club Tues day noon. There ts still a question whether free government can always exist and Its success depends entire ly upon the participation of Its people. Mott declared that big business has received benefits chief ly through Its participation in gov ernment and that such legislation as the eight-hour day, workmen compensation, collective bareainin have been won for the laboring man only after participation during the past two generations. Time and circumstance make great men and at every crlssi In the his tory of the Amerioan government providence has produced such a character, Mott said in speaking upon ueorge Washington and Abra ham Lincoln. No critic today can explain how the revolutionary war was won witn the help of Washing ton yet none deny that without him it would have been lost. Lincoln was not educated, yet he produced the greatest American prose in his Get tysburg address, Mott said, and he was practically unknown during his short political life in the Illinois legislature and later in contrress until he engaged in the debates with Douglas. Neither man, nor any ocner great man or American his tory, is an exception to the rule, he declared. Principal J. C. Nelson received the returns today on the examinations on the Bible taken several weeks ago uy ia Bemur men scnooi snirionf-ji The papers were corrected and checked by the state superintendent of schools.

The lat ter were appellants in the case. The case was an Intricate one. White sued to recover about $2000, and counter claims were aliened bv the defendants aggregating upwards of $5000.

Volchok In the case of H. Maizels against Sam Kozcr in volving the right to the use of a 5- pomted orange star on the respec tive signs of the two men on their worth commercial street stores. The county court today made dl vision of $10,982.41, the latest pay. ment from the government Irom the Oregon and California tax re funds. Out of the amount $1970.25 was set aside to road districts and school districts, a total or $1295.47 going to road districts and $186.62 to scnooi districts.

Miller has been trranted a license to operate a two table bil liard hall at Monitor. Miller appli ed to the county court recently for a license for January 1, 1928 to Jan uary 1, 1929.

Hearing and decision on the ap Deal will take more than a year In the ordinary legal court. If the con- vicltlon is upheld, tne expectea ap peal to the United States supreme court will consume another six months or more. The four noted defendants re ceived quietly the long decision of the Judge. The elder Burns had ap peared nervous. Two defendants, Sheldon Clark, a Sinclair official and C. L. Veltche, head of the Burns agency, previously had been freed of the charges. The four were found in contempt today after the judge had ruled their shadowing was in itself Illegal. The shadowing was one of the rea-sc:.-, Siddons declared a mis-trial In the Fall-Sinclair case in which Sin clair end former Secretary of the Interior Fall were alleged to have conspired against the government In the lease of Teapot Dome naval oil reserve. He sentenced Sinclair to spend six months in a "common Jail." W. J. Burns received a sentence of 15 days. W. Sherman Burns, son of the veteran head of the Burns agency, drew a $1,000 fine, and Day, who actually employed tne detec tives at Sinclair's behest, was sen tenced to four months. The defense attorneys noted an appeal and the three men sentenced to jail were given their freedom on the own recognizance. The debonair millionaire, Sinclair, last to be sentenced, was the only one who had nothing to say. The younger Burns dramatically asked to take the burden of his father's punishment. The elder Barns pro tested his Innocence. Day asserted he directed the Jury shadowing as Sinclair's friend to protect the oil magnate "from his enemies." "You set this surveillance afoot. Siddons told Sinclair.- "It Is a little difficult to see how one conscious of innocence should have done so.' Sinclair seemed unaffected. Dean Frank M.

This order went out from the city council last night on motion of Alderman Townsend, who said several such signs had been placed In the city merely on request of residents. The result has been confusing to traf fic, for the reason that many people know the signs are not authorized, while others think they are. "They are merely a bluff,' said Townsend, "and no one can be pen alized under the city ordinance for ignoring them." Mayor Livesle;' suggested that these signs should be removed. Townsend said, however, that he did not believe this would be wise, for the reason that it might cause more confusion than at present.
