FRIDAY, Vice-President Dawes QUITE apparently, our General Dawes does not intend that for him four years in the vice-presidency shall mean lour years ot mocuous desuetude, it iookb very much as though the country is going to bo kept aware of tho fact from now until March 4, 1929, that it has a vice-president. And at tho prospect we are disposed to cavil not at all, but rather to say, Go to it, General; you shall have all tho space in our paper that your deeds and utterances irom day to clay may warrant. We like tho prospect. Direct that's Vice-President Dawes. lie is not a man who, when he desires to speak of a spado feels constrained to refer to it as an implement for utilization in tho prosecution of tho useful calling of agriculture or gardening, lie just calls it a spade, right out like that, and lots those whom ho horrifies recover as grad ually as they may. Tho diplomat who was skillful enough to evolve and persuade acceptance of tho plan which is bringing shattered Europe out of the slough of financial despond and setting it on tho road to sta bility, seems to have chocked his diplomatic suavity along with his hat, in tho senate cloakroom before going to grips with tho red-tape boys. Of course tho mighty senators were first outraged and then enraged w.hen tho vice-president reminded them at his debut among them that ho was beholden to them for nothing, and gave them to understand that ho would conduct himself accordingly. Of course thoy didn't like it when ho reminded them of tho truths that their rules are archaic and stupid and that tho one-man filibuster is a buld and ovor-rocurront affront to tho whole Ameri can people. Nor did they like his way of shortening tho period of their posing in tho spotlight whilo they were being sworn. Of course it was careless of tho vice-president to forget' to como back and adjourn tho scnato on inauguration day.' But, holl 'n Maria; that's Dawes. A lion can't change his roar jtiBt bocauso ho finds him self in a new cage. Someway, wo can't bring ourselves to feel vesed with the new vice-president not yet, anyway. And wo have asked-the printers not to uso up all tho head lino typo on, other things. Wo feel that wo aro going to need somo of it for Dawes during tho next four years. Portland's THERE are strife and bickerings in Portland over the question of who is going to run tho polieo depart ment. Tho situation is not new but it is ralhor more ncuto than usunl. , Mayor Baker, in whom, under the charter, is lodged responsibility for the policing of the city, has in L. V. Jenkins a chief of police who is satis factory to him and in whom ho has full confidence, based on contact and experience. A self-constituted citizens' committee, whoso members, never having had polieo experience, aro therefore well convinced that, they know all about tlio police business and how it ought to bo run, is trying to foroo Jenkins out. They want to import a man to bo niado super-chief with tho title of polieo commissioner. They-want him to hnve complete Authority, which of course would mnko both tho mayor and tho present chief mere figureheads. Sue.li meddlesomeness ought not to be allowed to succeed. Portland is not crime-ridden. It is cleaner than tho average city of its size. Its mayor is so com petent .that bo has been threo limes elected to tho office that he holds. Try as they would, his enemies and those of his chief of polieo have never been ablo to bring tho slightest ehargo of irregularity or dishonesty against Jenkins. They say ho cannot control his men. Neither could Napoleon nor Alexander havo controlled men under Portland civil servico regulations, which inako it impossible adequately to discipline policemen for inefficiency or insubordination, no matter how rank. Aside from this handicap, Portland's mayor and its chief havo been mainly hampered by modellers, who in stead of giving them tho support to which they are entitled, aro giving comfort ordination among tho polieo Tho project for tho crippled cniiiiren in I'ortland is a tine nntl worthy pro ject. Tho plan to appropriate money for its maintenance from tho general fund of tho stato was unsound. Tho state ought not to go into tho tion ot tlio JJoeruheeher hospital alter it is built should bo provided for from other than stato funds. This newspaper does not believe, that a majority of tho voters of Oregon would havo favored its financing from state funds, or that such n majority will favor that course in tho future. Onnmi'tiillt litrrnl llilviu.ii'a mission liavo given the opinion that tho bus-truck bill is consiiuuiouai, uonviuisiaiuung ino attorney general s gloomy forecast that it will bo invalidated if'it gets ino court.

It has beeu announced that work on the pro posed hospital for children, finuueed by persouul benevolence, will go on. It is inconceivable thst so excellent u tank should come to un end be cause the governor bus misinterpreted the sentiment of the people, or be cause of a pecuniary emergency for which he alone is responsible.

Rowcll's Comment JQFl WINll'HHD STONBIl of New mis luceuousiy points our mat Mother (loose is one ot the most im moral of writers. Tom, the l'iper's Son, is a thief: Old King Cole drinks. Not only does Taffy steal beef, but the slanderous poem Voices the calum ny thut all Wclsbmeu do likewise. And so on. Of course! The somo thing may he snid of the children's literature of all nges, and of the adult literature of the childish ages. tirlmm's feiry tales teach murder, theft and cheating. Alice in Wonderland, is full of slaughter aud crime. The Katzeujsmnier Kids are not only wicked, but dangerous. They teuch children that if tliey blow up teacher with gunpowder, she will come down safety through tho roof. Or, coming to the grenter mytholo gies. Homer tenches that it is honor able to kill and nil, our cucmics and to ravish their wives. The great northern epics are worse. Siegfried la born of lucoat and prac tices highway robbery, as the only occupation worthy of a gentleman aud demigod. The interesting thing Is that these outrageous immoralities are mnratly quite harmless. The imagination of childhood and of the childish ages Is a self-protecting armor. It is not (lis wholesome riot of primitive immorality, but the morbid tleeadeuce of modern sophistication, that does the real harm.

Pigeon cotes are placed on the roofs of high tenements. The nucleus of each flock is a gnSup of fine-bred homing pigeons which never fail to return to their own cote. x tnn I In nttenditnre nt each cote during nil hours of daylight. When he sees a lone pigeon in the uir he releases Ins flock. The pigeons soar up to the lone lUcr tttui in ineir ova way Induce it to join the flock. When tho flock returns homo the strny pig eon comes along. Trouble begins when two pigeon keepers send up their flocka at the same time. The two flocks merbe with each other and sometimes only the true homing pigeons of one flock re turn to their home cote, the others, be.ng of a grrgnr.oua nature, going with the bigger flock. Then words fly between the rival pigeon raisers. And sometimes fists and bullets. The police have records of hiding crooks using homing pigeons to carry messHK'S to and from confederates.

FRIDAY The Lord of the Sabbath Head Lb. 6:1-11. Text: 6:5. The son of mau js lord nf tbe sabbath. .MEDITATION Jesus taught that the Sabbath is for the highest good ot men. It Is lawful for men to satis fy hunger, it is lawful to heal the sick aud to do good. The Sabbath ia a day for worship, rest and refreshments. Jesus freed the da; of the petty laws which were the delight of the Phari sees. The true disciple should do nothing for Jiia own materisl gaua but should consider well his spiritual ne cessities and girt part of the day to public worship and private meditation that his soul may be refreshed. "Men and women out of the thick of life come to the church on the Lord's Day tired and discouraged and got something that sends them back to their work with new courage and res olution, for the church is the power house of civilization." PHAYER Our Father, we would have the mind of Christ towards the Sabbath. Slay our fellowship with thee be very real. Teach us the secret of fruitful worship. Let the inspira tion and peace of the Sabbavh Day enter our souls and abide with us through the busy day. of the week. Amen. Roofs Blown From Houses in Storm DUTCH HARBOR, Alaska, March 6.
