WKDNESDAY, MARCH 11.
The Warren Rejection
A WAVE of applause swept the bciihIo galleries when
tho vote was announced whereby tho nomination of
Charles B. Warren to be attorney general of the United
States was rejected. Why? Kino republicans voted
with the democrats for rejection. Again why? Was it
an expression of sincere conviction on their part that
Warren was unsuitable? Uno Hesitates so to wmu.
The observer's inclination rather is to look for political
reasons.
Among tho most plausible of these is that advanced
by Mark Sullivan, one of the best informed as well as
ono of tho fairest of national political writers. In an
article published in the papers which ho serves last
'Monday, Mr. Sullivan said, after predicting that Warren
Svould in tho end bo confirmed:
In Warren's case the regular ropubllcan senators are "for"
him. but not "fur" him, to use a subtle distinction In tho enun
ciation of emphasis that has political meaning In the middle
west. For one reason, Coolidge did not consult the republican
senators In advance of tho appointment, lie gave It out in tho
same breath wilh that of Kellogg, and both cumo to the senate
as a surprise. The republican senators undoubtedly think thoy
ought to be consulted In advance, not necessarily as senators, but
as republican party leadors. Coolidge seems to make It a policy
not to consult them. To a slight though not serlouB extent, some
of the republican senators have an air of Implying that since
Coolldgo appointed Warren without consulting thoin, now let
Coolidge get him confirmed.
Tho fact that Mr. Sullivan guessed wrong as to the
result does not detrnct from tho soundness of his con
clusion regarding tho reasons for tho opposition to War
ren's appointment. President Coolidge remarked in the
course of his inaugural address last week that congress
is jealous of its authority and added generously that
it was rightfully so. llo might also have added that the
senate is particularly joalons. And some of tho indi
vidual senators manifest this (rait to an extreme degree.
In tho list of tho ten republicans who voted against
Warren ono finds tho names of those who have quite
generally failed to give to the administration tho support
to which rules of parly fealty might he supposed to en
title it, and tho namo of Borah leads them Borah to
whom as chairman of the committee on foreign relations
tho president, must look fov co-operation in other matters
of very great moment to the nation. Oregon's two sena
tors, it is noted, supported Coolidge.
Tho country looks to tho president and not the
senate for proper cabinet selections, and for thoso selec
tions it holds the president and not tho senate responsible.
Majority sentiment of the country, if wo mistake not,
will bo thnt 4he senate, in what it hns done, has misrep
resented the cpuntry. Certainly that conclusion is justi
fied on tho face of returns of the recent election, which
declared for Coolidge by tho greatest popular plurality
ever accorded a president of tho United States.
Yesterday's result bodes badly for teamwork between
the president and tho senate. And it emphasizes again
a fact often remarked in these columns the weakness
of Coolidgo is that ho cannot lead congress. His leader
ship is a popular rather than an organization leader-hip.
About Wildflowers
THERE was snow on tho Coburg hills yesterday, but
in tho valley a few moro trilliuins spread awido their
petals to reveal their completed loveliness of satiny while,
surrounding their surpassingly dainty yellow centers.
Spring beauties in blossom were running riot by lhe
roadsides. Here or there, was a blooming laiubtongue,
amidst hosts of others in bud.
A week of warm weather and tho country about
Eugene will have beconio a vast garden of wildt'lowers.
It will not bo so recurrently through tho future years
unless. that vandalism is curbed which finds its expres
sion in digging up tho tender plants by tho roots and
carrying thqm away to wither and dio in tho unsuitable
environment of homo flower beds. Tho plneo for wild
flowers is in t.licir natural surroundings and soil in the
wood and field nnd dell. Not all are deliberate vandals
who seek to tako them thence, but those who are not
vnndals are cither very thoughtless or very mistaken
persons.
Ho who wants wildflowers to remain tho perennial
joy that they now are will pluck the blossoms in mod
eration but leave tho plants and tho roots. Wildflowers
need to ho regarded as living things and helpless ones.
Those who lovo them wisely will treat tlrcin as other
helpless, living things are treated.
Tnris society is sold to tho idea, apparently, that
not nil is gold thnt glitters. It declines to open its gales
to our (jlilleriiig Gloria, notwithstanding that she is
heralded to tho world as a newly-become nuinuise.
llcr marquis, it finds, spent most of his tiino in this
country behind a bar. Now ho and tho marquise find
a bar raised against them.
Myrn, second largest known star, is found to be
250,000,000 miles in diameter. Antares, the largest
known star, is 400,000,000 miles in diameter. Our earth
is 8000 miles in diameter. What stars are beyond Myra
and what beyond Antares? And how can any man
fancy his world or himself great?
Ono finds it dificult to get excited over tho effort
to mandamus District Attorney Medley by tho attorney
for a man accused of violation of tho prohibition laws.
Since his recent assumption of his office tho district
attorney has shown both the will and tho ability to
fulfill its warranted duties fully.
fied befure the congressional investi
gating' committee declaring that the
buttk'Mli.p is now obtulete and that
future conflicts will dfpend upon air
craft, thus juistsuiilig the position
taken by .Mitchell.
Tiie truth uf the situation seems to
be that the nutionul defense depends !
upou obsolete wur craft, powerless j
before attack.ng aircraft, and that our
own aircraft development has been so
badly neglected tliut ouiy a few war
planes are available for defense and
none of these a match for the super-
war planes that the (Jcrmaus aro
building for Japan or that Britain and
1'Vunce are constructing for their own
defense.
General Mitchell has rendered a val-.
uablo public service by bringing out
the fucts regarding the weakness of
the national defense and tiie official
condemnation of the red-tape burestl-
erntM, who are still living in a day
that hue psgsed, will only serve to
popularize linn.
The Bus Law
(Corvsllis Gazette-Tiroes)
We should be grateful to the found
ers of Oregon fur leaving a loophole
in the constitution for a governor
when he d.d not have the intestinal
adequacy either to veto or approve a
w em u re. If they hsd not done so, the
only constructive piece of legislation
accomplished at the last session might
not huve become a law. This was the
b.li increasing the toll to be paid by
the b.glnvuy destroyers the buses
and trucks. Home day the people will
wuke up to the fact that these private
interests for purely commercial guin
uro destroying the public highways.
Ilio people will realize this when they
have to rebuild them and then tbey
witl enact legislation that eliminntc
truck and bus traffic entirely- The
only trouble with the present bill is
that it doesu t go far enough.
A Teachers' Protest Against "Drives"
(New York World)
Teachers complain that they are
tired of "drives," which they declare.
serve only to disrupt class-room work
and add to tiie teacher's burdens. The
gist of their complaint is mudc pub
lic by City Superintendent of Schools
William J. O'Shca.
The bill-bonrds cannot hold all tiie
"drives" ive have had and the calendar
cannot hold their "weeks." They all,
of course, make a scramble for the
schools, whero they proceed to abuse
the teachers' obligation to public ser
vice. We yield too deferentially to -whatever
Is done in the name of progress,
regardless of how absurd the particu
lar cause may happen to be. H would

wero expressed when some cnccinlly
absurd campaign was luunched. With

"OUTS" ARE GETTING AFTER "INS"
Democrats Prepare to Make" Assault on Claims of Republicans
Reaardlng Party Accomplishments
By HARRY B. HUNT,
(iNKA Service Writer)
WASHINGTON, March IX. An
important part of democratic activity
during the next two years will eon
b.st m "keeping tho record straight"
with respect tu various ami sundry
cluiius of "republican accomplishment."
The party of lhe "ius naturally
uud necessarily broadcasts to the na
tion the news of every inovo which
promises to hold old votes or gqt new
votea nt the next election.
And the party of the "outs" if It is
to stumi any show whatever of get
ting back into power must be con
stantly on guard to expose and punc
ture all claims that a.e not 100 per
cunt puncture-proof fact.
Already it is apparent that the O.
O. P. bulwark in the campaigns of
uud '18 Is to be the party's rec
ord on economy.
An das thin breastwork is being
built, dollar by dollar. In the record
for uiouey saved or expenses reduced,
demoemtiu scouts are ecrutinizing
uud analyzing each inch of its con
at ruction to locnto.wcak spots or
false work that may weaken-its de
fense when the tiino for the net "Cam
paign offensive arrives. ' '
Chief amoug the democratic statis
tical experts who will check republi
can economy claims in the hope of
finding weak spots to attack is Cor
don Hull, ex-national chairman, and
for 10 years member of congress from
Carthago, Tenn.
As a good democratic Tennessee
sharpshooter, Hull has drawn a bead
on the recent economy claims of
President CooLdge and Budget Direct
or Lord.
He thinks these are vulnerable and
already has taken a test shot or two
at what he thinks are weak spots.
Uue item aloae, of 780,711,000,
or close to half of the total suving
claimed by the G. O. P. for the year
lU-li, Hull claims is merely camou
flage, not a "saving" in the real sense
of tho term at all.
"The big cutch in the favorite re-i
publican 'econoniy figures'," says Hull,
was disclosed by President Coolidge
and General Lord on Jan. 20. Presi
dent Coolidge said on that occasion:
'In the fiscal year 11)21 we spent
$5,3:W,0U0,0OO. It is estimated we will
spend this .fiscal year $.534,000,000
This will show a net reduction of
004,000,000.
General Lord said on the same occa
sion: ''Federal expenditures in 1021
were $5I115,DL7.US1.30.'
.
"This is the sort of hopelessly con
fusing information being broadcast
over the radio by the highest govern
ment officials.
"Both President Coolidge and Gen
eral Lord, carefully omitting the
slight reductions for 101' and 111-4,
rely almost solely on the single re
duction of $1,700,000,000 in lOL'li, as
constituting a continuous three and
one-half years' record of outstand
ing economies.
"It would have been equally sound
and accurate for the Wilson admin
istration to havo claimed the reduc
tion in war expenditures from $1S,
514,000,000 in 1010 to $0,4 0.1, 000,000
in 1020 reduction of $12,111,000,000
as an economy and saving. '
"For one item, affording nearly one
half the claimed republican 'saving
pertained to government operation of
the railroads, now permanently re
turned to private ownership and op
eration." '
