Collegians and a Bishop.
RIGHT HEV. WALTER TAYLOR SUMNER, Epis
copal bishop of Oregon, .loon not iigmo with those
who think thnt tondoncicH of niodorn thought among
college, students constitute it meimco 1" Inn moral find
religious well being of humanity. He believes that
college young people, generally are morally and ethically
sound. .
"A moral challenge to the student body of a school
such as the University of Oregon," snid the bishop in
effect, speaking informally at a parish house dinner
last evening,-"will evoke invariably a certain answer
on the sido of right." Jt was the bishop's view that
n Pnrfnin nnswnr of this kind on the part of any body:
of young peoplo indicates with equal certainty religious
consciousness in them.
The bishop's opinion is that the church holds
within its own hands tho way to prevention of departure
by collego students from established lines of religious
thought. That way lies in tho maintenance of active
religious effort among them. Ho recognized quite
frankly that students who pursuo tho study of philosophy
and science and henr them expounded by skilled teach
ers who linvo themselves long followed unconventional
lines of religious thought, arc quite likely therefrom
to find their own thinking influenced away from its
customary lines. But the bishop told the parents nc
was addressing that there is a preventive for this within
their own hands. This preventive, he said, lies in con
sistent religious training in the home through tho period
of childhood and youth. His idea is that departure
from faith and ideals thoroughly grounded at this early
Deriod is unlikely in tho later collego years. Tho hint
that he thus gives to parents is wholesome as whole
some as is his absoluto faith in tho rising collego
generation.
Maintaining Nature's Balance.
WHEN man disturbs the balance of nature ho evokes
consequences that cannot always bo foreseen. In
crease of human population results in the partial exter
mination of wild creatures which prey on smaller pests,
such . as gophers, digger squirrels and noxious insects.
"With their natural enemies extirpated tho vermin in
crcaso enormously in tho courso of years and it becomes
necessary to conduct organized campaigns against them.i
Hence tho distribution by county and federal author-
itios of poisoned grain to bo used against tho ground
squirrels. '
Many of the creatures that nro pursued and slain
as pests aro really human benefactors. Men should
reflect beforo destroying foxes, wildcats, harmless
snakes and owls.- It is probable, in fact that hawks are
more beneficial than harmful. Chickens may bo pro
tected against hawks by guinea fowl. Tho number
of rodents such as digger squirrels that a hawk will cap
ture aiid devour in tho courso of a season is incalculable,
tK) new laws. What otjer country
can equal tliU record?
A total of 38,844 bills Here intro
duced. The encouraging feature is
that fewer bills were introduced and
fewer new laws enacted than in tbs
previous bienaiuta. Hut at the preaeit
rate of progress it will be a lon
time until the pacing of new laws i
auapended and legislatures devote
tlieir time to repealing of tlie hun
dreds of tboilaand of freak, silly,
titleless and unenforceable statute
now on the books.
What this country needs i not law
enforcement, but lew repealment.

Mustollnl On the Italian Debt,
(New York World)
Premier Mwrtolini in replying
American feelers on tiie d--bl question
makea no rash protuihes. He declares
only tbnt Italy will pay "to the last
cent permitted by its present and fu
ture econom.c position,'1 and be adda
that in measuring if a obliity creditor
nations must remember th.it Italy's
wealth is much inferior to France'.
His speech, deserves tbe attention of
all Americans van think that he can
drive through a debt settlement with
out adjustment or concession.
As .Mussobni's peeoa suggests, the
position of Jtaty Is in many respects
more difficult than thst of France.
Her debt to other nntions in lU'J'i
totaled about $),75U,WK),uOO. Of this,
(fHitltt.UOO.OOO was owed to Oreat
Hritsin and i 2,(ll5,000,tK)0 to the
I'nited Ststes. In other words ,she
owed almost five-revenths as much is
France, without possessing anything
like France's resources. Jt is true
that a program of economies bus
placed Italy's internal finances ou a
sounder basin; gut ber national wealth
and foreign trade are much slighter
than France's; she will receive one
tenth of the (Jerninn reparation pay
ments, while France by the Sp'l
agreement was given more than half;
and she has the problem of support
ing a fast-multiplying population on
an inadequate area. The ttoppnge of
immigration to America has intensi
fied this problem nnd cut off a large
Italian source of revenue iu the form
of money sent back home.
Italy cannot pay to the last red
cent as the last red cent is described
in congress. Sooner or later the ad
ministration will have to prepare pub
lic opinion for an inevitable reductiou
in this country's debts iu Europe.

WHEELER'S FRIENDS RALLY ROUND
$5000
Fund Raised to Defend Senator
Washington
in Conspiracy Case at
By CHARLES P. STKWAtlT
(NKA Service Writer)
WASHINGTON, May 28. The
Wheeler defense committee has
raised $5000 to fight the Washington
conspiracy case against Senator Bur
ton K. Wheeler. Contributions nre
from all ports of the country, some
under ?l. Tbe big contributors thus
fur ore ex-Congressman and Mrs.
William Kent, California $2oQ. The
committee wants $15,000..'
Wheeler isn't rich. His Montana
case cost him a good deal. To illus
trate, when the prosecution announc
ed the New York lawyer, Hayes, as n
witness, Wheeler realised that lie
needed rebuttul testimony.
He relied for it on three New York
ers whom ho had to find in a hurry.
He couldn't trust the very justice rie
parbment which sought his conviction
to look for them, so ho had to hire
private detectives.
Before tho trio cached Clrnt Kalis,
Hajes had told bo weak a story thnt
they were turned back. But that bill
alone exceeded flDOO.
Tin Washington c.ise will he still
more expensive. Most of the Montana
witucsscH were riarht there. They'll
linvo to he brought to Washington.
PerhHps Wheeler could manage it by
straining his last resource, but his
friends feel It will be hard if he hns
to sacrifice limine nnd home lo vin
dicate himself especially if the
Washington! charges prove as flimsy
as those in Mnlnntm were.
Of his conviction they express no
fesr, said one of them, "I'll be sur
prised if there isn't at least one juror
to insure a disagreement. There
wasn't in Montana, but Washington's
different."
'
Wheeler's lucky in his friends. But
for them the justice department
would break him financially, if not
otherwise.
The state department looks with
tentative satisfaction upon Leon Trot
sky's return to power in Bussia. The
department realizes it may be disap
pointed but just now it thinks the
outlook encouraging. As the world
knows, even Lenin admitted undiluted
communism had failed and sanctioned
a partial restoration of capitalism.
Trotsky favored its complete restora
tion. A good communist until he tried
it, he d had enough. After Lenin died
he came out openly for whole hog
capitalism.
You have to give Trotsky credit
for sense and nerve to change his
mind but it cost him his job as war
minister. It would have cost Uim his
life, but the radicals were afraid. He
still had too many supporters. So they
exiled him. Now he's back. One pos
sible explanation is that he's recanted
his heresy. A likelier one is that the
radicals got into such a jnm they had
to have him. In that case he prob
nbly will run things to suit himself
capitalist icaily. lie may even be prac
tical business nun enough to ac
knowledge Russia's foreign debts.
That's all Washington can ask. Indeed,
it, would make him popular here, and
doubtless h's government would be
recognized.
