A Justified ATTORNEY GENERAL right in declining an Governor Pierce, on the question of the constitutionality of the recently enacted law to establish a model train ing school at Independence, with the stato normal school This bill was passed by by the governor. It it is to tho governor apparently believes possible, the attorney general will bo called upon to defend it. If he should, before then, give an opinion on it and that opinion should bo unfavorable, his position as its defender in court would, of course, be an impossible position to main tain. Tho attorney general walked into a trap of that kind in regard to tho automobWo truck and bus license bill. He is on record as saying ho believes that bill in valid. Apparently he has learned something by ex . pcrience and is profiting by what ho has learned. Tho question as to the constitutionality of tho Inde pendence training school bill was raised by State Treas urer Kay. Tho constitution provides, no pointed out, that all stato institutions must bo located in Marion county, unless by voto otherwise of the people. sOn the face of this showing it would seem that not only the Independence training school law but tho Ashland nor mal school law, also passed by the last legislature, would be open to attack. . Herriot's Supreme Crisis. THE ministry of. Edouard Herriot, in France, totters to its fall. Apparently the final tragedy cannot be long delayed. Since his accession to the premiership Herriot .has faced crisis after crisis and each of them in turn has been averted. The present tide appears too strong to be stayed, even by one of his great resource. The French crisis is dual. It grows partly out of tho terrific straits of tho country in finances, and it is partly religio-political. In tho nation's extremity there has developed strong support for tho idea of a capital levy, to revivo tho expiring currency and fund pressing national dobts. At first Herriot has set his face against such a measure Latterly ho has come around to its support( as a measuro of last resort. Against a remedy bo heroio there was certain to bo very great opposition and it has developed. . On the religio-political sido Herriot is faced by two grave problems, llo has. aroused opposition by 'his declaration of a policy of withdrawing the French em bassy from tho Vatican and by tho attempt in Alsace to establish non-soctarinn schools. Rioting has grown out of tho strife over those, questions. Tho outcome no one can foretell, with certainty. - Tho premier defends his. policies in both issues "with characteristic vigor. In explaining his position in regard to the Vatican embassy ho said recently: What are my crlnws-and that of my Government? We are lnymen and we nre fighting for lnlclBni, which is not an aggres sive doctrine. Wo stand for freedom of conscience and we pro test when, in thin twentieth century, nn attempt is made in the name of dogma to constrain conscience nnd when we are told, as, our ancestors wore told In the Middle Agos, that science and liberty nre Idols. And in speaking of tho heroic measures demanded to meet tho financial crisis Herriot has just said: Tho tlmo of illusion Is past nnd we must save the state by a mighty effort, evoryono putting tho state anove party linos. France, our common mother, Is smashed under the weight of the charges she bears for common good. Everyone must take on his Bhouldors a portion of tho burden. Herriot's downfall has often been predicted since his accession to tho premiership. Many times ho has fought with his back to tho wall. Always until now he has managed to win. This timo tho odds against him appear too great. The world will admire ".his gnme fight, whatever may bo its judgment of tho issues. Most Rev. Alexnnder Christie, archbishop of the Roman Catholic archdioeeso of Oregon City, had ad ministered tho affairs of his church for m'oro than a quarter of a century in nil of tho western Oregon ter ritory, and with supervisory powers over a much greater territory in the Northwest. Tho period of his supremacy in this archbishopric has seen great growth and develop ment in his work. Prominent men of tho northwest and tho nation who knew him both thoso of his own faith and others will keep his memory green. ""Wo havo engaged tho services of; a substitute," announces ono of tho Oregon newspapers which has been a subscriber to the Darling cartoon svndieule ser vice, in telling of tho illness of tho famous Ding. Tho whole country misses Darling nnd hopes for his speedy recovery, but few qualified observers nro willing to agree that anybody has found "a substitute." there nro possibly a few other cartoonists as good in their respective lines but thero is no substitute for Ding in Ding's line. Cnscado national forest gets but $40,000 this venr of tho more than a million in road and trail funds al lotted by congress to Oregon. Proportionately it does not look so impressive. Hut leave it to Nelson Macduff V Scotch thrift to niako the mite stretch out mid sp-eal over. Better nn editor's ehnir at Oregon City than a diplomatic ministry in far Sinin, apparently 'thinks E E. Brodie, who lias resigned tho bitter to "resume the former. Most people will agree with him. Optimistic thought for today: First instalments are paid of tho federal ineoino tax and tho state, county city, school and special property taxes. " ' I. COMMENT OF Saved 17 Tlmw.

The situation was saved and tbe danger averted by tho prompt passage of a measure estab Usbing control district and ofticwl poisoners. Another great menace, that to tbe peace, healtd and safety of Oregon from wild range horses, was success fully and skilliully parried by tbe en actment of a law providing for their roundup and public sale by toe sheriff. However, if no bidders appear, the county must board and Judge the horses Indefinitely as there ia no pro vision for otherwise disposing of them. Worthless horses are Uiereby likely to be eventually worth a good deal to tin county but tbe horaea are saved, as well us the mate only the taxpayer loses, as -usual. Among other Instances where the legislature promptly and properly arose to the emergency and insured the public health, peace and safety, was by the patnage of a law providing for the grading of potatoea. As lon as the farmer could aell his a puds, with the big ones on top and the little ones In the bottom, the welfare of the commonwealth was endangered, but now an army ot inspectors unqer the atute market master, have officially been Bent to the rescue.1 Ho It goes down the lint. Seventeen different varieties of disaster, cala mity and caataatrophe, threatening the urate and its inhabitant, have been valiently and chivalrously routed In constitutional manner, through the strategy and sagacity t our loog winded law-elvers and tbe approval and approbation of our lachrymose executive, thereby preserving too puu- lie health, peace and safety, until at least another election.

Whom Wealth Cannot Tatnl. v U'eudleton East Oregonian) It does not matter that William Jennings Bryan has become a million aire through bin Investments in Florida. Wealth will not change bis political p-lilloaophy nnd be will ru in a iu the "Great Commoner" ajwaya, and always he will be found in the ranks of ,the champions of human rights as against the champions of property rights. Consoling Thought. (Corvallis Gazette-Times) Ah, well, maybe we are not going to miss J. L. Urady bo much from the puges of tbe Sukm Statesman. The new editor, Mr. Toozc, makes bis an nouncement in the issue of April 2 in which he tnlks nbout "Progressive Causes" nnd tho "Glory of Service." Why More? (Portland Journal) A parole board is proposed for Portland. Why a parole board here? How much farther is tho law-abiding public to bo asked to go la creating agencies, boards, Jobs and functionaries to handle thirso In society who violate tho law? There are now police department sheriffs' offices, state officers, federal officers and others paid by the public to catch those who live beyond the luw. There are city attorneys, dHr trict uttorneys, stuie attorneys and federal nttomeys, and special attor neys to prosecute them. There nre Justices of the peace, municipal judges, district judgi s, circuit judges, supreme judge, st n to Judges aud fed eral judges to hear the case and sen tence the guilty. Various authorities! can auspeud sentences, grant paroles and issue pardons. And now comes more proposals for parole boards. It U a very difficult mnttcr to get many criminals into jail. They escape the ' police. Witnesses disappear. There Is failure to convict. Juntsu often pronounce the guilty uot guilty. There nre appeals and appeals, and finally paroles nnd pardons. Are wo to spend millions upon mil lions a ynr to get ttie crooks imo jail nnd then continue to set up new boards and commissions and function aries to get them cut? The judges hear-all the details of a crime. They know all the facts. They are the best judges as to how long criminals should be confined. It is nlwnys poislbte to pardon t lurtie who indicate reformation. The public will probably get nlong better if the judge's decision Is allowed to stand until there Is ample evidence of reformation, and when that evidence is presented to grnnt conditional par dons upon recommendation of the judge, rather than to creato more authorities whoa business it often becomes to get those out of jail that it baa cost much to get in.

By HARRY B. HUNT (NEA Servico Writer) yASHINGT0X, April 7. -It may be a abame to take the money, but Any member of congress having conscientious scruples against accept ing the recent pay increase that body voted itself will just have to accept it. If lit doesn't take it willingly, it will bo forced on him.. Such is the ruling of Comptroller General J. K.'McCarl, who normally is the Inst man In the government to let looso of a penny that be doesn't have to part with. In bis job as Independent auditor of Undo Ham's expense, McCarl dis allows all sorts of 'bills that people want paid. hut tho stand McCarl takes in re gard to congressional salnries is that tho law says they are $10,000 a year and $10,000 they must be. Any member who refuses to sign tbo payroll on the $10,000 basis seeks to cvadu if not actually break the law, ho holds. And of course that Ib not to bo thought of. Tho only legal course, McCarl rules Cor members who do not feel thoy are worth $10,000 a yenr as congressmen, is for them to nccept the full amount, receipt for It. nnd then return such amount as they deem nn overpayment to tho treasury's "cons.icnco fund." Tho McCnrl ruling came as n 're sult of tho refusal of the Hon. Henry St. George Tucker of Lexington, Va.. to accept his first salary check drown at $10,000 instead of $7500 a year. It's a matter of family pride, it seems, with the Hon. Henry St. George. One of his ancestors was serving in congress when tho bill was passed In New York I v- : v By JAMEd W. DEAN MEW YORK, April 7. Tho favorite bit of humor going the rounds of H road w.i y ond its toa-tnblo literati has to do with the manner in which Michael Arlen out-suinrtcd a smart woman guest nt the "bou voyngM' party given to Pola Negri. Michael Arlen, as you doubtlessly know, is author- of tbo sophisticated "The Greeu Hat." The woman ia of a rather decided inasculiue type, usually wearing mannish clothes, smoking cigarots and tnlking In deep tones. Upon being introduced to Aricn sho quite coolly looked him over from hoes to bend and then drawled. "Do you know, you're almost feminine." Just as coolly and without- waiting for words Arleu answered, "I believo you arc, too." - Bartenders in speakeasies are now being routed over circuits in the same manner as vaudeville performer. Most of the bootleg abops along lue Hroadway district are controlled ly ayndicnles. One of these avuduates controls more than -0 places. Kai'i two weeks the bartenders are shifted around. Some patrons follow their fa vorite bartenders and this increases the business of the various establish ments by word-of-mmiih advertisim:. Also, this system prevents bartemlen getting too friendly with regular pa irons to whom they might give bigxer drinks than the usual "two fingers."

This ancestor refused to take the money or at least objected to taking it. Just how the thing was finally set tled, history doesn't make quite clear. But as one who has made it a life long practice to uphold the precepts and traditions of his ancestors, Hon. Henry St. George Tucker is impelled to protest the pay raise, even to the point of declining bis salary check. If Tucker persists in spurning the cash, it ia suggested a memorial he erected to his memory as a democrat who by personal sacrifice demon strated the official economy which President Coolidgo preaches. Ono suggestion for such memorial is a life-like nnd heroic-sized Ameri can dollar, placed in an appropriate niche over the treflnury doorway. And on tho memorial plate beneath would bo inscribed: "Tucker Wouldn't Take 'Em!" Republicans who are trying to draft Gen. John J. Pershing, for the battle to. bold Missouri's one G, O.

Tbo party would have everything to gain by his nomination. He would have everything to lose.

ROW ELL 170 It the already established democ racies, the problem is not whether democracy can handle foreign rela tions, but how- to make it capable ot doing so. Democracy can not be sur rendered, but foreign affairs can not be avoided. They can uot be evaded, postponed or muddled, as domestic affairs commonly are. They must be handled by international-minded persons, or they can not be handled at all. And democracies nre not habitually international-minded. It ia the last thing which political demagogues try to teach the people. Elections are won Quicker and cheaper by appealing to already ex isting prejudice, which is always na tionalistic and anti-foreign. So, if left just to drift, the tendency of remoc racy is to ignore or mishandle for eign affairs. Tbe easy remedy, there fore, is to handle them undemocrnti cally, as has been often done in the past. Hut the only right war is for dem ocracy resolutely to act itself to the task of becoming fitted to this respon sibility. It is a matter of education. If schools are to teach a narrow chrur inisin to the young, and politics ia to spout slogans and shibboleths to the old, both in the name of "patriotism," democracy surrenders.
