OREGON, MARCH 3, 1022 DUTY'S CALL TO DEMOCRATS It Beeme to be discouragingly dif ficult for public men to put their duty to the nation above what they conceive to be their duty to their party. The League of Nations was turned down by a republican majority in the United States Benate because it was conceived and advocated by a demo cratic president. The four-power treaty is now op posed by a large part of the demo cratic minority in the United States senate because it was conceived and advocated by a republican president The Yap treaty with Japan has just been ratified, but a majority of the democratic senators opposed it. We find Hitchcock of Nebraska op posing the four-power treaty, al though he was among the leading champions of the League of Nations. Because these democrats were de nied the full loaf of United States membership in the League of Na tions does not constitute an adequate reason why they should balk at tht participation of the United States in a sensible plan for the insurance ol peace in the Pacific the half loaf that in our view is far better than no bread. Because the republican majority thwarted the Wilson movement for forestalling another world war, the democratic minority has no valid jus tification for trying to thwart the Harding movement for averting war between 'the two greatest of Pacific powers, the United States and Japan A careful reading of the four-powei treaty obligations fails to convinci the open-minded layman that it even commits the United States to as "en tangling" a foreign policy as ArticK 10 of the League of Nations. It sat isfies Japan without involving the United States. It provides effective war insurance at the least possible coBt. Virtually the four-power pact holds the relation of "little brother" to the League of Nations. One if wrong only rf the other is wrong. These democratic senators should rise superior to puerile party con siderations and support all the con ference treaties, unless t'iuj feel honestly convinced that the confer ence was a failure and the treaties are its poisonous fruit. Their judg ment would then be open to criticism, but not their motives. Two wrongs do not make a right. A partisan stand by the republican senators does not justify a partisan stand by the democratic senators. If the League of Nations is an ul timate failure, it will be because the United States made it so by refusing to join it If the four-power pact is a failure it will be because the United States senate fails to ratify it. We will thus have served two no tices upon the world that the United States prefers the prospect of war to incurring the slightest of obliga tions for the insurance of peace. And if the four-power pact is de feated, its failure will be due to dem ocratic votes. The democrats hold the balance of power on this issue in the United States senate, and to us their duty is as plain as their respon sibility is tremendous. our beloved republic is capable only of such gratitude as may be ex pressed without expense or inconvenience. "Since Secretary Mellon will per mit the payment of income taxes in Victory notes, all that remains now is to get the Victory notes," re marks the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. We dislike to suggest it, but there's really ground for objection to the president's proposed visit to Umatilla county. He will never want to go back to the White House. If we go back to the convention and boss system, in a few years we will be talking about how much bet ter things were under the direct primary. Nothing worse cun befall the Ger man war sufferers, to whom the ex kaiser has just presented a picture of himself In full uniform. "Don't worry" is sound advice, and we will do no fretting here in the West over the failure of those New York brokerage houses. MENUS OF TOWN AND FARM Reviewed by Trotsky, the Red army was several hours in passing a given pont perhaps because nobody hap pened to be after it. Governor Edwards will run for the New Jersey senatorship on a wet platform, on which the drys will surely hope he slips. The national head of the Boy Scouts is under federal indictment.

'JOAN" VICTIM OF INTRIGUE Statistics Supplied by Department of Agriculture Reveal Rural Con ditions Notably Satisfactory. ""How are the folks on the farm faring?" Is a question that Is answered with a "Very well,' thank you," by the Department of Agriculture at Wash ington. Looking Into the average American farm method of living, the department finds that the farmers are as generously supplied with meat as any other class of people, observes Gus Knrger in the Cincinnati Times Stnr. Strangely enough, they don't use eggs as abundantly as the folks else where, but they use more milk, even where there are fewer than the aver age number of children. Except In Southern states, where "quick" breads are often preferred, wheat bread Is the staple. A relathle- ly large proportion of starchy vegeta bles Is consumed and a relatively small quantity of the green and suc culent kinds, In spite of the fact that farm families have the best opportun ities for growing vegetables at home. The studies of the home economics division of the Department of Agricul ture "bear out the general Impres sion," the report states, that on the average the farmers' families have an abundant diet, with enough different kinds of food to insure good health. Whether the food Is well cooked and attractively served the studies do not show. The fact that almost twice aa much cooking fat was used by the form families as by the general aver age Indicates that farm housewives are Inclined to cook too many foods by frying. The only recommendation Is that It would be well for the farmers to use more eggs, more coarse cereals, and a greater variety of vegetables and fruits, especially more green vegetables. FINEST TRAINING FOR YOUTH Any sort of government subsidy is wrong in principle, and it is unlikely that a government subsidy will prove right in practice in building up the American merchant marine. It is bettor that American goods be car ried in foreign bottoms, than that the whole American people be mulcted for the benefit of the ship-owning class. If American shipping can be made to pay its way, it will do so without a subsidy. If it is a losing venture, there will be an increasing demand for further help beyond the thirty-two millions a year recom mended by President Harding. If an American merchant marine, in other words, can succeed with a sub sidy, it can succeed without one, and the people's gift will resolve itself into a piece of easy "velvet" in the pockets of the ship-owners. In lieu of a subsiry, American shipping in terests Bhould be relieved of certain crippling provisions in the naviga tion and seamen's laws. Irretrievable loss is always sus tained by the passing of men of high citizenship qualifications. In the de mise of Lou Hodgen, the community, in common with the beloved ones of his family, is bereft of his sterling character and constant endeavor to ward righteousness in his dealings with fellow men, and solicitous pro tection of those dear to him. In "flu" times like these, a good many of us could qualify as draft dodgers. French Bishop Said to Have Been the Tool in the Hands of the Duke of Bedford. Pierre Cauchon, bishop of Bciiu1uIs, who was ambitious to become arch bishop of Itoilcn, "framed" Joan of Arc uml caused her to be burned at the slake, according to Henry W. Harris, Jr., writing In the Boston Globe. The untutored maid who had spurred the French on to victory, Just as Kngluiid's hordes appeared to have overrun the couniry, was captured by the duke of Burgundy, u rebel against the king of France, and he sold her to the duke of Bedford, regent for Henry VI, the boy king of Eng land, for $110,IKH). Bedford sought to discredit Joan of Arc to her people, hoping In this way to upset the coronation of King Charles VII of France, and gain the throne for the British king. Bishop Cauchon, who was seeking Britain's aid at Rome, was chosen as the tool. He It was who formed the court which tried the maid and convicted her of heresy. She was ordered to be burned, hut the sentence was commuted to life Imprisonment on condition that she quit wearing a page's costume, wear women's garb Instead, ami sign n paper, or rather put a cross to It, ai she couldn't read or write. She did so. The paper was a "confes sion" of nil the framed-up charges, Later she was tricked Into hfcnklttg her vow and wits practically forced to wear the page's clothes again. Then she wos "discovered" In this garb, accused of breaking her vow and ordered burned at the stake. Bill Provides For U. s. Supervision of Film Industry. Washington, D. C.A bill providing for establishment of a federal motion picture commission with ceusorshlp powers over all flints entered in Inter state commerce was introduced In the house by Representative Appleby, re publican, New York. Strict censorship of all films pro duced In the country Is placed in the hands of the commission ot three to be appointed by the president. While tho measure was designed primarily for censorship of pictures, the commission will have authority, Appleby said, to look into the condi tions existing in the moving picture colonies of the country.

Business Man Tells Why He Would Have His Son Get Full News paper Experience. "Journalism teaches that results alone count, that excuses and equivo cations are failures," writes Henry Scott, vice president of a paper com pany. "There Is a discipline In big newspaper offices that does not exist In the average business, and that dis cipline is based on the motto, 'No ex cuses.' It Is accepted In ordinary business that when a man is told to do something he usually expects de tailed Instructions. 'Where tic I go, whit. V ! ic, how do I do It, what do I ask, and what will I do then,' are the questions that show their utter helplessness and lack of action. "On the other hand a reporter gets this training as no one else does. He learns to lenn on his own Initiative. He gets an assignment, plans his cam paign and then carries It out without asking any questions. When on ob stacle comes up In the path of the average young man he stops and yells for help. But a newspaper man learns to either go through It, knock it down or skim around It In s hurry. He has learned that excuses can't be cashed at the bonk. "If I had a boy and wanted to give him a rigid business training In or der that be might bring distinction to himself some day In his profession, whatever It might be, I would like to give him about two years under a first class city editor, the kind that com mits mental murder three or four times a night." Claims to Transplant Eyes. New eyes for old can be given blind creatures, claims a young Hungarian zoologist. He says he can transplant sound eyes from living creatures to others that are blind. Before the Vienna Biological society he said that he had experimented first with fishes and frogs, and then with rats, moles and other ' snltnnls. He had ob served that RsL "'ich had lost their sight sr.metlmes los. the coloring of their bodies. By .eplnclng their blind eyes with sound ones taken from another living creature, he had re stored their sight and their coloring too. Frogs, when they became blind. gave up seeking food, but with their new eyes were as diligent as ever In this respect. Professor Kolraer de clared that he had examined some of the eyes transplanted by Koppanyl un der the microscope and had found them normal. Toasted a Dead King. Now that the city fathers of Tarls have got back from their trip to Scandinavia, they are telling n mean story on M. lit Corbelller, who, ns president of the municipal council, 19 about ns close to being mayor of Paris anybody can be for Paris has no mayor In the American sense. SI. La Corbelller was called upon, at a Stockholm banquet, to respond to the toast of "La Belle France," the president of the republic, ond so forth. Raising his glass of applejack, he replied : "I drink to the health of King Oscar, to thot of the royal family, to the min isters," "There was only one thing wrong." his friends will tell you maliciously. "King Oscar has been dead for the last ten yeare." New York Sua, Canadian Furs. Furs taken In Canada In the 1018 1IVJ0 season were valued at more thnn $21,000,000.
