Oregon for France
Oregon's vote in the national republican convention will
be cast for Dr. Joseph I. France, former senator from Mary
land, instead of for Herbert Hoover, for the reason that
France's name was the only one on the ballot, the president
either not thinking Oregon's vote was worth going after, or
reluctant to make a contest lest it reveal his unpopularity.
An effort was made to have republicans write in the
name of Mr. Hoover, but only about a fourth of the voters
did, which indicates the lack of a very strong sentiment for
the president, so although France was entirely unknown in
Oregon and made no campaign, and the voters did not know
whether they were voting for a country or a man, they
marked their crosses against the only name on the ballot for
president.
Oregon's votes, along with those of North Dakota, con
stitute the only following France will have in the convention,
Hoover having most of the balance, with sufficient already
pledged to give him the nomination. .
" It will be interesting to watch how the Oregon delega
tion votes in the convention, for some of the delegates are
personally for Hoover and they will have but one ballot be
fore it is all over.
The Dictator Slips
The effort of Governor Meier to dictate the election of
his personal candidate, Col. A. E. Clark as United States
senator has met with rebuke at the polls, for it is apparent
that his choice ran a poor third, despite the repeated en
dorsement of the executive who paraded him across the con
tinent to Washington to enhance his chances.
This may indicate that the governor is losing his pop
larity and prestige which were so overwhelming a year ago.
It may indicate resentment against the executive for butting
in to unseat a senator who meets party approval. At any
rate it shows the difficulty of transferring personal popu
larity to a henchman, even when a good campaign is waged
in his behalf.
Despite the fact that Colonel Clark is a fine lawyer and
a man of capacity, he has proven that he is not a vote getter,
for he lacks the appeal of a successful campaigner. Twice
before has he met defeat in seeking the toga, not because of
lack of qualifications but merely because he is not a back
alapper, hand-shaker and wise-cracker.
A Wise Choice r
Salem is to be congratulated on the election of Douglas
McKay as mayor, for the city is assured a business-like and
efficient administration. In addition he has the poise and
social charm that should grace the office.
The Hollywood tail of a taxless regime will no longer
wag the Salem dog and keep it chasing about in futile circles
in pHrsuit of will-o-the-wisps. Citizens have evidently had
their fill of scandal mongering and poison peddling as means
to newer and willing to exchange destructive policies for
constructive ones.
If the courts sustain the $2,500,000 bond issue, we are
assured at least that the money will be wisely spent and not
wasted in $100,000 fees for those who engineered the deal.
OPEN FORUM
words In length and signed with
not merlin theae specification
published articles Is desired self
be Inclosed.
To the Editor: If you have been
quoted correctly, I am curious to
know the sources of the Information
on which your editorial Is based.
Evidently Ignorance of these Islands
la more wldrpread than wa had
thought possible.
I refer you to tlie report of Scth
W. Richardson, deputy attorney
general of the United States, In
which he ecu forth that his Investl
Cations show that sex crimes In Ha
waii are less frequent than In other
parte of the United States, that
members of the Hawaiian race are
rot addicted to sex crimes of vio
lence, and that the record for con
victions In such cases as do exist
compare favorably with that In oth
er parts of the United States.
Several of the races which you
condemn have stricter standards of
aex morality than the white race
has aside from the fart that, with
the exception of the Filipinos, most
people in Hawaii who are descended
from persona of other than white
races are not only Americans by cl
Uaenship but also conform In gen
eral to the customs and standards
prevalent In other parta of the Unit
ed States.
I might mention, though It Is un
important, that your reference to
negroes In Hawaii Is somewhat diffi
cult to understand, since there are
almoct none In the Islands. The In
clusion of them in your Indictment
merely tends to throw light upon
the accuracy ot your Information In
general.
It la emphatically not true that In
Hawaii "a woman alone is regarded
a legitimate prey." It has never
been true, except insofar aa Hawaii
an and. other women have been
preyed upon by certain elements ol
military and naval personnel and by
aallors In general, alno the first
. white men landed In these islands.
It is also untrue that "such a ver
dict would be impossible on the
mainland,'' though It la possible that
on the mainland. In corresponding
circumstances, Uie verdict might
hare been guilty ot murder Instead
of manslaughter. I attended ever;
session of the tal, a a represents-

were shown clearly to be guilty ot
murder not only In the second, but
In the first degree, and that the de
fendanta are to be congratulated
that they got off with a verdict ot
manslaughter.
Incidentally It Is worthy of note
that the one juror who held out to
the last for acquittal was one of
the Hawaiian rare whom you so
sweeplngly condemn. Had the naval
men Involved been tried by naval
court martial they would have had
no chance for anything except con
viction of murder.
It Is untrue that "most of the
white population in the Islands are
descendants of missionaries and
beachcombers. , and adventurers"
and equally untrue that most of
them have an admixture of Hawaii-1
an blood. The white residents of
Hawaii are predominantly people
born In other parta of the United
States, mainly California, Washing
ton and Oregon. Of the white mem
ben of the Jury, nearly all were
born elsewhere than in Hawaii.
What the verdict proves. If any
thing, la that Hawaii does not coun
tenance murder, whether by white
men or brown; that it upholds Uie
laws and the constitution of the
United States despite the efforts of
those who are sworn to uphold those
laws and that constitution to tram
ple upon them; that the Introduc
tion of lawlessness and violence Into
Hawaii even by members of an arm
of the government that is sworn to
uphold the law, w ill not be tolerated.
The attitude of the uniformed
press, lnstigsted by naval officers
who have only recently come out
Into the open with a campaign
against American Institutions In
Hawaii which they have conducted
underground for thirty years, has
been to assume Uie guilt of Ui de
fendants In the Ala Moana rape
case a matter ot which there Is
grave doubt. The effort of the au
thorlUe lo obtain a conviction In
that case hare been only hampered
by the Injection Into the situation

Honolulu, May 2.
To the Editor:
Your editorial of May 2. which
I have clipped from the Hilo Tri
bune of May 3, seems to express In
somewhat violent form the opinion
of many Americans concerning
conditions In Hawaii. (I assume
that It Is quoted correctly.) I am
not In the habit of writing letters
to newspapers, but such silly slan
der as you have printed can not go
unanswered by a resident of Hawaii.
It is unanimously admitted that
the prosecution of the Ala Moana
rape case waa badly bungled; this,
however, Is far from meaning that
Uie crime of rape is condoned by
any respectable element of any of
the aeveral races In Hawaii, The
sentences meted to the rapists Kal-
kapu and Fcrnandet, you can not
deny, were severe and speedily Im
posed. I am a native of Kansas, who
never lived outside the middle west
before the age of 22. In my five
years' residence In Hawaln. where
I am a school teacher (Incidentally
under a principal graduated from
Oregon A. C, I have lived In
every type of rural district In the
Islands, as well as the cities of
Honolulu and Hllo, and I have as
sociated intimately with most of
the nationalities found here.
Among all theae nationalities rape
la considered an abhorrent crime,
as It Is among the Americana. In
particular, Uie statement that
among tin natives ... a woman
found alone Is regarded as legiti
mate prey" Is wholly false. The
scattered white women In rural
communities where there are con
siderable numbers of Hawaiians as
nearly "primitive" as you can find,
know that they are perfectly safe.
Among city hoodlums a woman Is
not safe, but this Is a peculiarity of
city haodlums anywhere, Including
continental America; race has
nothing to do with the fact.
The code or sexual morality
among tlie Oriental nationalities,
according to my observations. Is ap
proximately that ot the Americans;
in some respects a little more lax.
In other respects stricter. There Is
nothing In It that condonea rape.
That "most of Uie white popula
tion of the bland are descendants
of missionaries or beach combers.
In which there la an admixture of
Hawaiian blood and of adventurers
who have gone native and lost
their racial pride" la so naively
wide of the truth that It seems In
credible that a paper on trie Pa
cific coast could print It. In Uie
the country districts there art an
extremely few men who may be
said to have "gone native") far
aa one can go native where the na
tive are Americanised aa they are
here; there art a good many

and a good many who, accepted so

Honolulu, that little Los Angeles,
the Ideas one might get from seeing

white people of Honolulu for the
most part have both their pure

such a slur aa yours to Jurymen
such as young Waterhouse, college
educated son of a prominent busi
ness man, and the German Beyer,
a typical small tradesman such as
you can find on any Salem street,
shows colossal Ignorance of Hono

such as you have printed.

BEARCATS AND
BADGERS CLASH
HERE MONDAY
Wtth a trip to Walla Walla and
a three game battle with Whitman
college Missionaries as the prize at
stake, baseball squads of Willamette
Land Pacific will meet on dinger
field next Monday afternoon at 1 :30
ocloclc In a double header.
The game was originally ached
uled for last Thursday afternoon but
rain made tills impossible.
If Willamette should win one or
both of Uie games it will mean that
the Bearcats will be forced to play
five contests during the week be
sides spending one day on the road
to Walla Walla. Coach Keene's men
have not lost a conference game to
date while Pacific has been beaten
twice, by Albany.
Peterson and George Erlckson will
be used on the mound against the
Badgers and if Andy Is In anything
like his usual form, one of the games
should go In Uie bag easily. George
Erlckson, too. Is coming along rap
Idly and gaining confidence and It
would surprise nobody If he set the
Invaders back on their heels.
Monday's setup Is almost perfect
for two hot contests since there Is
a natural rivalry between the schools
and fans who attend the contest
expecting real batUes will not be
disappointed.

SHverton The last game ot the
interscholastlc league for SHverton
was not played beyond, the third
Inning Friday afternoon on account
of heavy rains. The local high school
boys met Molalla at Molalla and
were forced to quit. An Interesting
fact, however, and one that will
serve to put SHverton on her metal
for the grand finale ot the series
which has been set for next Thurs
day, Is that at Uie dote of the third
Inning, Molalla had scored one and
SHverton no runs. The Molalla team
Is a hard one to beat and SHverton

tallno ought to be about ready to
admit that Billy Petrolic can lick
him.
The former world featherweight
champion, fortified with rare cour
age .stood In the Chicago stadium
ring last night and traded slugs
with the old Fargo express, and
even knocked him down for a count
of nine in the first round.
But after It was all over, Pet
rolle had earned a ten-round de
cision. And except for tlie first
and tenth round, Battalino took a
decisive beating.
In the middle of the first round
a whistling left hook landed square
ly on Petrolle's chin and he went
down to remain a long as he daeed.
They were avout even until toe
sixth, but after that session. Pet
rolic clearly was master.
Seeking to wipe out a lS-round
knockout verdict scored against him
two months ago in New York by
Petrolic, Battalino piled Into a
withering two-handed fire that
drew blood from his tender nose,
puffed out hi Hps and ripped open
a cut over one eye.
The battle was not one-sided,
however, and the disappointingly
small crowd of about 11,000 got
everything It paid for.
Petrolle clearly earned a shot at
Tony Canxonerl'a lightweight title.

ing a ball game between the squads
at Ollnger field. The gam Is sched
uled to start promptly at 2:30 o'
clock. .
If hard work and faithfulness In
attending practice sessions count
for anything, the Salem Senator
should be off to a flying start this
year. "Squeak" Wilson especially has
been laboring long and diligently
and apparently has reached the
stage where he will be able to go a
full nine Innings without much dif

Wilson will need all his cunning to
keep ahead of them. Cotter Gould,
Van Dyne, Russell, Chuck Wirth and

well known throughout Uie valley
for their prowess at the bat.
Sunday's lineup for the Senators
