St. Johns review. (Saint Johns, Or.) 1904-current, 1914-11-27

Summaries of Oregon election
returns show that all Of the
twenty-seven measures and
amendments on the allot affect
ing industries, taxation and in
vestments have been defeated.
The press Of the state was
almost unanimously against
these proposed laws condemn
ing many of them as radical and
freak propositions and the result
is defeat of a vicious system Of
legislation. For some of these
measures, campaigns were made
and q great deal Of money spent
in advertising them, and strong
organizations were put back of
them, but the voters had made
up their minds TO check the sys-
TEN. The voters are aroused to
the fact that this system is a
vicious abuse of the Initiative
and Referendum, and they have
wisely saved Direct Legislation
by destroying the abuse.
Many of the proponents Of
these defeated laws and amend
ments will undoubtedly come be-
fore the legislature with PROPOSE.
tions to put them over. perhaps
in changed form. This has been
done in the past. When the
voters have showed under a So
called progressive measure, il
has bobbed up before the gem
eral assembly and been lobbied
through.
The advocates of resurrecting
any of the defeated measures
will be given a cold shoulder for
the first time by the Oregon
legislature. if all signs fail not.
The verdict of the voters is for
a letup in legislative activity
that interferes with industries
and business.

Yesterday was Thanksgiving.
The day is sacred. The hearts
of men should be grateful for
the blessings that have been
theirs through the past year.
While the scanty harvests of
Europe are being ground under
the hoof beats and the wheels Of
machines of death; while men by
thousands are dying daily on the
battle fields and in the hospitals
beyond the sea, and a pail of in
expressible sorrow hangs over
the broken hearts of whole en-
pires: our people sing the an
thems of peace as they gather
their ample harvests, as no sign
of war or of pestilence is in the
air or on the earth. Surely ours
should be a most grateful people.

The country i'm general is just
beginning To realize that hereto
fore a very necessary official of
the judiciary has been entirely
overlooked. /. e.. the Public De.
fender. The creation of this
office last spring by the city of
Los Angeles aroused little more
at the time than amused smiles
and condemnation of the put
ting into practice the idea of
some sociological enthusiast. but
the results attained have vim
dicated the theories of the or
iginal supporters of the move
ment and also attracted the at
tention of every person interest
ed in the uplift.
Los Angeles proved that often
the INDECENT criminal was more
sinned against than SHINING. 7"
and that i'm the past many per-
sons guilty of no greater crime
than poverty, had been railroad
ed TO prison, not through any
individual prejudice on the part
of the judge trying the ease, but
due TO an obsolete system which
provided for the appointing of
a youthful and generally mex
perienced lawyer, just out of
school, 10 defend the accused.
The result was always a fore
gone conclusion, with the young
lawyer matched against an able
and experienced lawyer, backed
by the machinery of his power
ful office and the prestige of the
State.
The Western City has pointed
the way. New York is follow
ing suit. One by one the daily
newspapers and weekly and
monthly magazines are starting
TO advocate the proposition, and
before long States and munich
palities in every section of the
country will be endorsing and
instituting the idea.
interviews with prosecuting |
attorneys in various cities show |
that these official also recognize |
the necessity of providing some
other system than the one now
in vogue, and concensus of
opinion is that the creation of
the Office of Public Defender will
work TO the benefit of the COM
munity in general. and incident
ally be a money saver
Statistics show that nearly |
every city of any size appro-
PIRATES yearly greater sum of
money for the payment of law

HIGH SCHOOL
Incidents of High School
Interestingly Told

The play, THE Village Law

Society of the high school, was a
decided success. and so every
one concerned is much pleased.
Those who had to do with the
training Of the actors feel duly
rewarded for their effort ex-
pended. The Society is proud
of its first public appearance.
The Athletic Association no long

bankruptcy, and the actors them
selves well. the actors are all
in a fair way to have their heads
turned in the busy exchange of
"T-L's" this week.
Marie Bredeson as Mrs. Dill
quite captured her audience
with her scornful independence
and her management" of Sam
whose devotion was most touch
ing.
Ethel Hunord gave individual
ity TO the character of Angie
and in her way was as efficient
a manager" as even Mrs. Dill.
Hazel Johnson carried her
most difficult part in a way to
win the sympathy of the a.
dience. II is always hard to
take a part that is unpopular to
a degree.
Florence Davis as the love
distressed heroine, was most
effective in her pale checked
grief over her "men folks, and
Lobelia won her hearers with
her laugh and her gallant de.
fense of everybody in need of il.
John McGregor acted the part
of the upright office seeker and
the defiant lover delightfully."-

father was quite transformed
from his genial self. and looked

gallant gentleman from the city.

who reminded one most forcibly
of the present day young man
and woman as shown in Mile

George Hufford as practical

tion.
