The Railroad Hearing BEN DEY, attorney for the Southern Pacific company, arguing before the interstate commerce commission at Washington on the petition of the Oregon public service commission for compulsory railroad development in Central Oregon, indicated irrevocable opposition by jus company to any attempt to deprive it 01 its imus m Western Oregon in favor of the Ilarriman roads, which was one of the alternative proposals of the Oregon body. Mr. Dey was unable to see how the so-called railroad monopoly of the Southern Pacific company in the western part of the state would be abolished by turning over those lines to the group which already has a monopoly of railroads in Eastern Oregon, he said. Any fair estimate must grant a good deal to this viewpoint. To the proposed alternative of a common user for the Natron cut-off, thus letting the proposed Ilarriman cross-state line into the' Willamette valley territory and possibly into Coos hay, Arthur C, Spencer, arguing at the hearing for the Ilarriman interests, was scarcely more enthusiastic than Mr. Dey had been for the separa tion proposal. His contention was that the Ilarriman roads would benefit but little under the common user, because the stations along the line would be manned by Southern Pacific men, who could bo depended upon to get the bulk of the business for their own company, thus, one infers, leaving the competing company to haul empty trains. ' A good deal of what was brought out at the hearing indicated the view on the part of various inter ests, that the proposed cross-state line, if built, will have to get access to Western Oregon traffic if it is to ho made profitable. On whatever basis this is brought about if it be brought about it is .hard to see. how it can result otherwise than in vast advantage to Eugene and tho upper Willamette valley, as well as the country to tho west and to Coos Bay. The ultimate outcome, although it is likely to be deferred for a while, will be of very great interest to this district. ' : ' Dire Things About Our Navy. i . . A SPECIAL correspondent for tho New York World has been observing the American fleet maneuvers off Lower California, and tho summary of his conclusions L.cmB to be that wo are licked before we start if we over get into buttle 'with anything stronger than the Swiss navy. Tho correspondent says thnt "six startling facts" were brought out by the initial maneuvers, thus: 1. JUnder attack from alien navloa on the Pacific, the United States would be utterly helpless without permanent concentration on this coast of the combined fleets. 2. Lack of Bcout crulBers and efficiency aboard them makes tho Atlantic fleet usoleBa In support of the Pacific fleet In Its home waters. ' 8. Aircraft carriers are Impractical in wartime in rough seas, and until they are further perfected they will be useless against an enemy air fle.it. 4. Submarines, because of their Imperfect Diesel engines, are uncertain and their action In tho Magdalena problem proved them also uncertain In "contact" of two great navies. , 5. Lack of aircraft co-operation places the United States fleets at the mercy of an enemy, especially an enemy adequately equipped with aircraft squadrons. n 6. Modern speed in war has nullified the strategical value of the Panama canal. A doleful size-up indeed of the situation as affecting the navy of tho United States. And yet wo do not find ourselves casting apprehensive glances seaward, 'Ve do not in fancy henr the thunder of alien guns there. The United States has never yet been found "utterly helpless" .in a sea fight. It is not so clear that lack of scout cruisers would make support of tho Pacific fleet by the Atlantic fleet impossible. Of what use would scout cruisers be against capital ships of an enemy? And would an enemy send other than capital ships into action against us! If aircraft carriers are useless in n rough sea, how would an enemy from across seas transport and handle its airplanes against us? Sub marines may bo uncertain, but they did not prove wholly ineffective in tho world war, as wo remember it. The fact that we aro short of aircraft was not a disclosure of the maneuvers off San Diego, as the correspondent says. We all know it. The fastest modern warships make some thirty-odd knots an hour. Is that sufficient to niako the trip around Cape J torn as quickly as through the canal I If not, then how is the strategical value of tho canal nullified f Tho World man writes more like a Ifcnrst corres pondent than one less fevered. and school authorities will not be given a free hand in making courses of study, So long as they are they will include SB inany "studies" as the back burdened taxpayer will stand for. . How Long Will They Last? (Hood Itiver Glacier) It's tempting, we'll admit, to carry home a bunch of the wayside, wild flowers that are embellishing the greening hillsides of tho m.d-Colum-bia. Hut how long will tbey last after daily forays of hundreds? Today our annual run of smelt and the spring time blooming of tile early aunuuls form a lure iu Oregon. We may lose them by our careless greediness, however. Not a half century ago dwellers in the Migsisippi valley suw migrations of wild pigeons, the flocks so dense as to blot out the sunshine. Today this species of pigeon is ex tinct. V . Ye Ed's Idle Dream (Dallas Itemizer) "It is getting the time of the year,1 remarks the editor of an exchange,' "when the average editor begins to figure on his vacation." Figure is harlly the word. Drcjun of u vaca tiou would be better. Helping the Cow. (.Marslifieid News) , High in the list of Oregon's needs stands the demand fur better cows. One of the contemporary dailies of thestate declares that tne need is fewer and better cows, but in Coos county, the need is more and better cows. Dairymen of the district are per forming a great service and one that is not often tully appreciated by the average citizen not closely in touch with the Situation, through standardi zation of herds, improvements of breeding methods and unprovement of marketing facilities. Lvery dollar spent to improve the cows of the territory is auollar in vested in the permanent growth and wealth of the entire d. strict. m Ousting Rebels, (Salem.Statcsmau) Mark Kullivau seems' to think it was not the best policy to let the La t'ollelto group out of the republican party officially. It may not have been the best policy but it was the best principle. It would be tolly to permit the tail to continue to wag the dog. Kither the republican party is tho mojority party in this country or it is not. A house divided against itself can not stand. The republican party bas been charged with not keeping some of its promises. It couldn't so long as it had a bunch of political thieves in its ranks men who stole the party label as a budge of merit for an election and imiued.ately put it away till the next campaign after elec- tiou. It was an intolerable situation and the majority iu the senate did ex actly right in ousting the iugratcs and mRvericks from the councils of tho party with which they had a political precept in common.

SARGENT, COOLIDGE OLD FRIENDS New Attorney General Was Protector While In School of Boy Who Later Became President By HA 1111 Y B. HUNT , (NEA Sevvico Writer) WASHINGTON, March HO. The biggest man in the president's cabinet is the newest member. .Mm Garibaldi Sargent, the new attorney general, whom Iresident Co olitlge called to office after the senate had turned down Charles B. Warren, towers a good three inches above Secretary Wilbur, heretofore the lengthiest cabineteer, and tips the scales at 2 pounds or so more than Secretary Weeks, the heftiest of the old cabinet. .Sargent just scales iu' under 6 feet 5 inches in his docks, iu height. His weight is roughly 18-stone, or bo me 250 pounds avoirdupois. bargent. typifies the rugged Ver mont strength" which the poets write about. Although his fit years have brought a certain flaccid looseness to lines of his jaw aro stilt firm and strong. The very bigness of his body, pon derous but powerful, suggests a, mind that, likewise, while perhaps not of pnnthef-likc quickness, plows straight ahead through oil obstacles to definite and substantial conclusions. Sargent ought to help Coolidge feel more at home in his job. AVith Sargent in town, the president, may feel, in some degree, the same kindly interest and protection that be felt when, under Sargent's wing, be was saved a hazing on hts entrance to Black Biver Academy, at Ludlow, Vt., nearly 40 years ago. The Sargenls lived at Ludlow, and young Coolidge went to their house to board. As a timid, bashful boy from (he village of Plymouth, callow Cal was scheduled for a "course of sprouts" by the moro sophisticated academi cians. ' ' . Then John Sargent passed out word that the newcomer was sort o under his protection and that he'd tend to anybody who tried to tend to Cal. Sargent's fist was as big then as it Ts today and his biceps more supple. The hint was sufficient. Sargent comes to Washington with the reputation of being "a big man from a small town." Ludlow, 32 miles from Cbolidge's home town of Plymouth, is a burg of only 3700 inhabitants, Ufa there is calm, -simple, natural. It is from -such surroundings, Coolidge believes, that a true per spective of law as well as life can. best be gained. There, fundamentals alone stand out. The superfluities, the abnormali ties that so often warp the viewpoint of city dwellers are missing. The tech icalities, the evasions, so much prac ticed by big city lawyers, find- no place. . - As an aid to legal and pbilisophical researches, Sargent relies no little on pipe, and plug. I Miring long winter days, when Ludlow lies snowbound, Ssrgent spends days on end. in his library, smoking and consuming both chewing tobacco and legal lore in prodigious quantities. Following the spring thflws, he gets a severe nttack of fishing fever. And n little later he is apt to be seized by a mania for gardening. His rod and hoe have supplied the Sargent table with its fresh fish and vegetables throughout his life. test in which, unless the president wins, he loses. - Senates do not exercise this prero gative on cabinet appointments unless they mean war. The last time tbey lid it, in Andrew Johnson's time, it whs open war. They did not do it to Hardingn though they disliked half his cabinet, Tbey are not doing it" to Coolidge merely from disapproval of Warren. The real issue is Coolidge himself The insurgents are fighting hack. The democrats, after catastrophic, defeat, are playing desperate politics. The old guard are determined to re-establish the supremacy of the senate. 1 h irreconcilablcs, reactions ne internationally, are bent on under mining the. president's leadership. For four years the president or the senate will rule. This is the first skirmish., in the battle to determine which.
