JUNE 9 1922 JUSTICE AND INTEREST The birth rate of New York's "400" is only seven to the thousand, while it is 57 to the thousand on the lower East Side. Perhaps this is only sm other illustration of the law of the survival of the fittest. It may be in the interest of jus tice, but it certainly is not in the justice of interest that appeal is fo be made to Congress for the settle ment of the claims of the collateral heirs of Robert Morris, says the Dearborn Independent. In 1781 the Pennsylvania financier borrowed $1,500,000 on his personal credit to help finance the Continen tal Army. This he advanced to the government, receiving bonds in re turn. When Morris was placed in the debtors' prison after the collapse of his personal fortunes, the bonds were lost. Now, after 141 years, the descend ants of the Continental financier's sister (he was a bachelor) have hired counsel and prepared to file claim for the debt of the Revolutionary days. There are various ways of figuring compound interest, but the Morris heirs have been moderate in their requests. All they Want for the million and one-half in Continen tal currency is $80,000,000. This, any money-lender will tell you, is quite reasonable. It is to be hoped that poor pos terity, 140 years hence, will not awaken to discover that the world's 1922 debts, treated with multiplication-table interest, remain unpaid. BUSINESS IS BETTER The general business situation has continued favorable from month to month until confidence is now well established that th" worst of the in evitable post-war depression is iver, says The National City Bank of New York. The recovery reflects the great recuperative powers which this country has within itself, but has been aided by a similar demonstra tion in other countries. Despite the seemingly almost insoluble probl arising from the war, and all the political controversies, racial an'ag onisms and half-baked social and economic theorie; that contribute to the confusion, the world has a ten dency to a ttate oi order. Prosperity is the fruit of a state of ordend, balanced and reciprocal industry, in which everybody works at render ing some service to others and gets his pay in the service which tiiey render to him. Although an appal ling ignorance of mutual interests is constantly displayed, nevertheless people are hound to strive unceasing ly to improve their relations with each other. The most potent general factor in the revival of trade has been the exhaustion of stocks the wearing out of things in use. The East Oregoi mn has located a party of Union Pacific railroad Mir vcryors operating in Umatilla county, somewhere between Pasco and fho-n Hollow. That paper also learns ;he proposed road if constructed, w ill serve bb a cut off to facilitate Yakima fruit shipments. It may be well fVr Athena to bear In mind the ahevc statements, for it is barely possible that the surveying party may be he same that has im.de this city their headquarters for three months past. All of which enlightens the pulbic amazingly when taken in connection with the fact that all lines surveyed to date center at Athena. With this alignment of facts before us, woi'ld it be immodest to predict that Atle na stands a fair chance of being on the Union Pacific's prune brtneh, should the I'ompany decide to build t? The New England couple who have gone naked into t'-e Maine woodj to live primtively will succeed in proving nothing much save that the present cycle, with all its faults, is prefera ble to the stone age. "A four-legged bird has been found in South America. Can it be crossed on the domestic fowl to in crease the supply of second jonts and drumsticks?" hopefully asks the Greenville Piedmont. "Liberty bonds are at par, but pre dictions will not dc entirely realized until they are considerably above par. Hold on to your government securities," advisev the Oregon Journal. Although the country is in a bad way politically, part of it may yet be saved. Prospects are bright that Iowa will elect a democratic senator and Oregon a democratic governor. One's confidence in the report that there is forty billions of idle capital in American banks is apt to be se verely shaken if he tries to borrow some of it. .Henry Ford will "run for president if the people of the country desire him to do so." So would each ot several millions of his fellow citizens. Those who approve the cut in rail road wages will not, of course, be applicants for the job of car cleaner at $2.78 nor day. It appears, however, that the I Won't Workers will consent to work as strike breakers on the Portland water front. Again the weather man has demon strated that the Pioneers' Picnic is worth millions of dollars to Umatilla county, in more ways than one.

SUMMONS We'd take a keener interest in the movement to lestore the conven tion system if we felt that any sys tem would not b',re and disappoint the average Oregon voter. What lie wants is something that he haMi't got, and we fear that this is a "en stitutional and ineradicable instinct. If eternal vigilance were really the price of liberty, the Oregon voter would by this time be a ballotless and powerless serf, in viow of the habitual indifference with which two thirds of him (and her) doesn't go to the polls. Perhaps a system by which he would be entirely deprived of the franchise for a time would be the best of all. since it might bad him to appreciate this privilege. The proud and sensitive subjects of the Mikado are beginning to find out how it is themselves to be crowded by an alien race. During and after the war boom, Japanese employers imported coolies and operatives from Korea and China to work in their textile mills, mines and smelters. Now the native Japanese workers consider the presence of this alien labor a grievance and their attitude toward these invaders is the name as the attitude of white labor on the Pacific coast toward the Japanese. Because of the California question the Japanese find it difficult to han dle the matter, as the cases are con sidered identical In the Circuit Court of the Stato of Oregon for Umatilla County.
