Banks Guarded by Gunmen Though Fears Based on
Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
A CRAZED assassin tires fire shots
at President-elect Roosevelt,
missing him, but hitting five other
people who were standing near;
among them the mayor of Chicago.
As these words are written, two of
the five are hanging between life and
death.
IT IS terrible that such things
jhould happen. We OUGHT to be
'Se to do something effective about
It. But when a mad dog runs amuck
In a crowd, biting people right and
left, about all we can do Is ahoot the
dog, which doesn't help those who
have been bitten.
There are many terrible things In
this world alpng with many pleasant
things.
Tas shooting reveals Roosevelt as a
warm and human and likeable
man one whom we can admire un
reservedly as an Individual.
As the .shots ring out, an effort Is
made to hustle him away from the
scene of danger. He Is the President
elect of the United States, and after
March 4, he will be the most Im
portant person In the world. For the
greatest good of the greatest number,
It la essential that he be protected
at any cost.
But he refuses to be hustled away,
Insisting upon remaining and help
ing the wounded, taking Mayor Cer-
mak In his own car to the hospital
rROBABLT, from the standpoint of
-the greatest good to the greatest
number that was unwise. The assas
sin might not have been through
Shooting. He might have had accom
plices who were ready to open Tire
If be failed.
His refusal to be hustled away, his
Insistence upon remaining to do his
PERSONAL part In giving assistance
bo the wounded, might have cost the
Ufa of the president-elect of the
United States, with Incalculably Im
portant consequence to a nation of
120 million people.
But this writer, for one, Is glad that
Roosevelt stayed, for his staying re
veals him unmistakably as possessing
Khose qualities of courage, eelf-forget-fulhess
and sympathy that enable men
to be truly great leaders.
rns nation la passing through dark
days, and If It la to reach the
sunshine that Is unquestionably
somewhere ahead how far ahead we
do not yet know It must have lead
erahlp in which It has implicit con
fldence: leadership It Is willing to
follow through thick and thin,
through good and bad.
Leadership of this sort is not
wholly a matter of the head, for peo
ple will not follow BRAINS ALONE
unhesitatingly. Such leaders must
possess qualities that endear them to
the crowd, that stamp them as ordin
ary human beings among other ordin-
ary human beings,
Roosevelt's Instinctive reaction In a
moment of danger proves that he
possesses these qualities.
M
"T"Hi: senate, with votes to spare
passes the Blaine resolution for
repeal of the prohibition amendment.
It goea now to the house, snd If the
house passes It by the necessary two
thirds majority It will go to the
President.
If the President signs It, It must
then go to the states and before It
becomes effective It must be ratified
by conventions In two-thirds of the
etetes 38 altogether.
Changing the constitution of the
United States la quite a job.
CHANOrNO the' constitution, Inci
dentally. OtTO-HT to be quite i
Job.
Here in Oregon, we change our con
stitution about as easily and with
about as little formality as we change
our shirts. As a result, the constitu
tion of the atate of Oregon means
little or nothing.
The time MIGHT come when it
would be important to have the con
stitution of Oregon mean something.

CANDIDACY LEGAL
SAYS WORTH
Schermerhorn Attorneys
Leave Inference Ballot
Boxes Have Been Tam
pered With Since Election
Following a decision by Circuit
Judge O. p. Sklpworth of Lane county,
that former Sheriff Ralph O. Jen
nings, "write-In" candidate for eheritl,
was eligible under .Oregon law, the
Introduction of testimony to estab
lish a foundation for a recount was
started In the election contest of
Ralph Q. Jennings against Sherlfl
Schermerhorn.
The defense, headed by Attorney
Elton Watklns of Portland contested
the move, with the Inference that the
ballot boxes were tampered with, after
the election and while In the clerk's
office.
Stickers Come Loose.
The contention was based upon the
claim that 11 stickers on- ballot
pouches had been removed. Robert
Bell, Janitor at the courthouse, tes
tified that he bid picked the precinct
stickers off the' window-sill, and off
the floor of the clerk's office. Bell
titled they were stored In the clerk's
olflco until December 3t when they
were placed In a vault, In the base
ment. -
Former County Clerk Delilah Ste
vens Meyer testified that on the can
vas pouches difficulty - was experi
enced in making the stickers adhere,
and that their falling off has no
significance.
No Tampering, Is Claim.
The plaintiff contends that the
loosening of the stickers on the out
side of the boxes was unavoidable.
and that the contents of the boxes,
or the boxes themselves had not been
tampered with. Janitor Bell testi
fied he saw none of the keys and
paid no attention to the locks. Bell
was asked a series of questions,
freighted with Inference by Attorney
Watklns. He was asked If he had
seen lights burning In the clerk's of
fice at night. He replied that he had
seen lights burning In all the of
fices at night."
A packed courtroom listened to the
proceedings thla afternoon.
Judge Sklpworth, In his decision
from the bench, ruled there were no
clauses in the Oregon law that "pre
cluded the citizens of Jackson county
from writing In the name of whom
soever they pleased, fn the space very
properly provided for that purpose on
the ballot."
Jennings Not Barred.
The court further held that no
provisions of the Oregon election laws
barred Jennings sa a "write In candi
date." If the voter so desired.
It was also ruled that ths fact that
Jennings was s defeated primary
candidate did not affect his eligibility
as a "write-In" csndldate.
Actual recounting of the votes cast
In the contest will begin ss soon sa
the preliminary evidence is completed.
It is expected that the count will
take at least three dnys. The count
will be under the. direction of the
court.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. The late
campaign friendliness of Roosevelt
and Smith Is waning rapidly. Those
who know Smith say he feels slighted
because he -haa been omitted from
the consultations with leaders. That
feeling was behind his curt remark
that he would not be Interested In
going Into the senate or the cabinet.
The betting now Is that he will not
have a direct hookup with the new
administration. This will make him
a much more prominent factor next
fall in the city situation.

Another example of the "super-psychology and salesmanship" of L. A.

apprehended by city police and a .45 army Colts revolver taken from him
In front of a local restaurant.

morning about 0 o'clock by City
Policeman Joe Cave, after bystanders
had seen VanWegen get out' of his

When he came out of the reataurant.
Cave took the gun. which had three
notches filed on the handle.
He's for Good Government!
VanWegen la one of the committee
from the Good Government congress
that called upon Commissioner Em-
mett Nealon, at Nealon 's home two
Weeks ago. -and demanded that he ra

When officers asked VanWegen If
other members of the Oood Gov

representatives.
Duplicating the senate action last

acted before being In session an hour
and a half, cheered on by part of the
galleries and in the face of ominous
silence by others there. Th latter
represented many of the prohibition
organizations, which served notice at
onoe through th An tl -Saloon league
that the issue would be "fought to l

It's Moral Question
The Issue. Joined in the election of
delegates to - a convention without
regard to party affiliation or person

reduces th decision to that of the
moral question;
'Do you favor or oppose the legal-

This will be the battle cry that will
arouse the crusading spirit of the
drys.
No surrender, no retreat, no com

of central Oregon waa the object of a
Joint resolution introduced by Senator
Upton today.
Upton said that It would authorise ,
the Public Utilities commissioner to
initiate a new proceed. ng oeiore the
Interstate commerce commission for
a different set-up from that of the
former so-called Corey plan which was
rendered Ineffective by a United
states aupreme court declaton. the de r
clelon being that a railroad could not
be forced to extend Its tinea through
an unproductive territory to connect
with another road. The Corey plan
called for an extension from Crane to
Odell. ,
The Upton plan calls for an exten
sion of the Union pacific system from ,
Burns to the Deschutes Une, through
Hogg Pasa via Prlnevllle Junction and
Into Portland. Upton said a connect
ion with the Southern Pacific would
prorbly be necessary after extending
throvwh the Pass, and was uncertain
whether extension beyond Prluevllle ,
Junction could be forced. .
