MONDAY,
The Governor
Governor Pierce Bays that Dr. Thomas W. Ross
is ousted from the state fish commission, and has namea
a successor to him. Dr. Rose says it will bo for the
courts to determine whether or not he is ousted, llius
there is a direct conflict, of opinion and of statement
on the question. The circumstances incline the ob
server to regard the contention of Dr. Ross as more
! sound than that ot Governor 'ierce.
Originally there were two charges against Dr. Kffss
rW ho was miiltv of extravntranco in having voted
to employ Carl D. Shoemaker as manager for the com
i mission at a'salary of $500 a month, and that -he had
'purchased liquor from an Astoria policeman. The latter
charge was abandoned oy
of removal was based on tne otner cnurgu. .
But Dr. Ross, it is admitted by, all concerned, did
not act alone in engaging Mr. Shoemaker as commission
manager. Mr. Kendall, another member of the com
mission, voted' with him. Otherwise Mr. Shoemaker
nniilii nnf hnvo hpfn Ptiffncnd. as a maiority vote of the
commission was necessary to
Dr. Ross were guilty, Mr.
dall himself called the governor's attention to ima quue
' obvious fact, at a tardily called hearing which the
governor gave Dr. Ross on the charges, and at which
the governor testified as complaining witness, officiated
,'aa, prosecutor, and sat 'as judge simultaneously. The
'governor brought no charge against Mr. Kendall. And
ho now has announced the appointment of Mr. Kendall's
attorney as his choice to succeed Dr. Ross on the com
' mission. ,
At the hearing, the legality of the governor's course
was challenged. The governor thereupon announced
that he would defer final action until he could consult
the attorney general as to his rights. Now he has an
nounced the discharge of Dr. Ross and Dr. Ross 'charges
, "that .the governor did not consult the attorney general
meanwhile. . k N
The governor's failure to includo Mr. Kendall under
his charge in regard' to' alleged extravagance indicates
that ho singled Dr. Ross out for attack His abandon
ment of the liquor fehargo indicates that it was flimsy;
llis reluctance to give Dr. Ross a hearing, his irregular
procedure at the hearing and his subsequent failure
to consult the attorney general indicate his own- recog
nition of the wenkness of,his.case. Hiselection of Mr.
'Kendall's attorney to suceed Dr. Ross .indicates an
effort to' placate Mr. Kendall. In fact thef whole' case
smacks of politics the kind of politics that Governor
Pierce has made painfully familiar., to Oregon, and by
whose practice ho has made a dismal "flop" of his
- administration. ' ; '
Mr. Hughes'
, , The biggest single asset of the Harding administra
tion was Mr. Hughes. The most valuable singlo item in
Mr. Coolidge's heritage alSo has been Mr. Hughes. As
. secretary of stato ho has been a tower of strength and a
safe mooring mast. Under his direction tho country
has felt safe in its foreign relations. ,
Mr. Hughes .has assiduously cultivated friondly re
lations with foreign nations. To such an extent did .he
carry this effort that it may bo doubted whether ho ac
tually expressed tho popular will vin every caso. There,
for instance, was tho Japanese question. Mr. Hughes
wanted the immigration restriction bill so drawn as to
avoid giving offensn to Japan. Congress overrode his
desires and those of the president, and thero 'was evi
dence that congress, rather than tho state department
and tlio administration bad expressed tho popular will.
A recent instanco indicated that Mr. Hughes was dis
posed to go even farther; than tho presidont would to
avoid possibility of international irritations. Tho French
ambassador at Washington had mado public utterances
'regarding the aspirations of Franco regarding war debt
settlements. His audience had included tho wives of
a number of powerful members of congress." The ad
ministration, apparently, was irritated. A statement
from the white house indicated as much. Then the
secretary of. state saw the president. And there followed
a second white house statement to the effect that the
French ambassador's course was satisfactory to every
body. That was the hand of Air. Hughes.
Tho years of tho incumbency of Mr. Hughes as
secretary of stato havo been years fraught with possi
bilities of complications from n thousand angles. Ho
lias carried a straight course. To him must go a largo
shnro of credit for the success of the Washington con
ference on limitation of armaments, for a vast iniprovo
- ment in our relations with Latin America, and nt least
a sharo of credit for the success of tho negotiations out
of which grew tho Dawes reparations, plan.
It is yet too early to make out tho real determining
motive, for tlio retirement of Mr. Hughes. There is rea
son enough for1 it in tlio public announcement that he is
going back to practice law in order to recoup his for
tunes. 1 Big men cannot work indefinitely for tho com
parative pittance which we pay our cabinet officers.
There may boreasoiiH beyond that one for his retirement
and they may bo political. However that may be, Mr.
Hughes is entitled to the country's thanks and good
will for his outstanding services. .
Frank B., Kellogg brings to tho state portfolio an"
intimnte knowledge of foreign affairs which will stand
him in good stead. As United States senator ho made an
earnest study of foreign relations. Ho was not un
reservedly for; tho league of nations, but nefther was
ho an isolationist. Since his nppointment by the late
Presidont Harding to bo ambassador to tlio court of St.
James he has been in close
fairs. He participated in the
thn London financial conference. So far n vniriniinn

KENT JR. ASSERTS HIMSELF
Chapter CO
As tho weather grew colder I took
Kent Jr. downtown ono day to buy
his winter coat. His father was to
meet us at 12 o'clock and tnke ua to
lunch and then afterward go with
mo to inspect whichever coat hnd ap
pealed to me tlio moat. We were
both perfect fuasea about tho boy'a
clothes and both 'demanded a hand
in the final decision about them.
At oneif the lnriw stores on Fifth
Avenue, which deals exclusively in
men's and boy'a clothing, I finally
found a couple of little costs that I
felt were within our meana and yet
good looking and suitable.
Kent Jr. had the time of hia life
and inspected himself curiously in the
long mirror each time the good nntur
ed salesninn would try on a different
coat. We had soon attracted the
attention of an admiring crowd but
it did not seem to disturb Kent in j
the least.
lie would strut up and down In
front of the mirror and examine each I
coat minulrly. The pooketa jind but- j
tons seemed to claim the greatest !
amount of attention. One' little coat
with double rows if brass hilltops
was hia favorite, and 1 felt confident I
it was because they brough hiui a !

be utterly helpless against one nun

French machine .were shot down over

This country ought to learn some
thing from the helpfulness of Ger

sho'hos no force in tho air, although
she has millions of highly trained

was concerned.
"Let's see something else some
thing better," ha told the salesman.
Tho man finally' brought out a
darling little soft brtiwn coat with an
adorable light beaver collar and little
cuffs. '
When It was put on Kent Jr. and
fastened up tight around the neck
and his almost black eyes looked up
at me, I just wanted to hug him.
"Now. we have a nice little beaver
hat to march the coat," the salcsmnn
suggested, bringing the hat over and
pushing it down on Baby's golden
curls.
Kent inspeeted the coat carefully
and turned little Kent around and
around while ho seemed to be trying
to decide.
"Do you think It's good enoush for
him, dear!" he asked mo with father
ly pride written plainly on every fea
ture. "Is It all right? Does it suit
you. Babs?"
"Oh, Kcnt, he ts wonderful In It,'
I exclaimed hesitatingly. I could not
hear to think of buying another coat
once I had seen him in this. Hut
I was fearful of the price. I knew
It was very much more expensive
than the ones I had selected. Yet
I did not have the heart to suhdue
Kent's rash extravagance where Kent
ir. was concerned,
