1t is not a difficult matter for
the man with a good position, a
comfortable home and many
friends to criticise and condemn
the man who is in possession of
none of these essentials to an
enjoyable existence. How often
do we hear the remark made
when the army of the unemploy-
ed is mentioned, "Oh, well, they
wouldn't work if they had the
the chance to do So" Such
statements may be true of the
small minority of down-and-outs,
but cannot be applied to the
large majority of those who hit
the bread line. No man, no
matter how far he may have de-
scended in the scale of life, can
possibly feel contented and hap
py with an empty pocket book
in his jeans, while those who
prefer continual idleness to hon
est labor Of some kind are not
plentiful enough in one city to
comprise an army of hundreds
and Of thousands of voluntary
idlers.

A young damsel of attractive
appearance made the rounds of
st. Johns business houses Tues
day endeavoring TO sell tickets
TO what was purported TO be a
concert for the benefit of some
organization in Portland. In the
larger business places and to the
professional men she tried to
sell tickets on which the price
of one dollar was printed. To
the smaller business houses she
offered tickets TO the same affair
with the price of fifty cents
printed thereon. Possibly to the
private citizen she had tickets
priced at two bits. She dispos-
ed of a number of tickets here
at varying prices. The best
way would seem 10 apply the old
axiom that charity begins at
home, and give the Portland So
hcitors the marble heart. "

We offer a motion that Sell
wood be recalled from the city
of Portland. Why not? The
only real use Portland has for us
is TO pay taxes. Everything we
do get we have TO fight for. IL
took us three years to get our
street signs. We can't get the
city TO look after our streets and
street crossings. Let us sever
our connection with the old hulk
and attend TO our own municipal
affairs. In all other cities we
know of. suburbs have rights
and privileges which the parent
city acknowledges and respects;
but here i'm Portland nothing
goes with our high toned Com
mission city government but
downtown and West Side dis
tricts. And poor Lents. which
has just voted herself into the
city, doesn't realize the rope she
has entwined about her neck.
Our sympathy is with Lents if
that will help her any. Sellwood

And yet man is such a stupid
ass that he cannot learn any
thing by observing the expert
ence of others. The hardest job
we have ever undertaken was
for 1.-THE tail TO wag the dog.
and that is what is attempted ev-
cry time a suburb tries to get
out of the big munich /
pality. III we would profit by /
the experience of our neighbors, |
we viii stay out of Portland. |

SAYS SHE HAS
LITTLE STOCK

The manipulations of the six land
companies formerly controlled by
John B. Scarlet, bankrupt, were
again investigated at an examination
in Bankruptcy Court today. Scarlet
Is former director of the Roseville
Trust Comuany and is under indict-
ment for conspiracy to defraud the
bank, which was wrecked more than
a year ago.
Miss Edith A. Crossley, of 1139
Broad street, who is secretary of the
and companies, testified that she
held stock in but one company, the
Greylock Land Company. She also
declared that she was treasurer of
several companies and a director in
nearly all of them. Miss Crossley was
quite sure that she held no stock in
any company besides the Greylock
concern.
Scarlet differed with Miss Crossley
on the stockholding. He was absent
from the court room while Nathan
Bilder, counsel for the trustee, ques-
toned Miss Crossley. Scarlett testi-
fed that Miss Crossley purchased
stock in three other companies, and
added that he was sure she held stock
in those companies, inasmuch as she
was an officer.
Miss Crossley testified that she paid
5000 for the Greylock stock. This
money she had been saving in an en-
velope, which she kept at home, she
declared, although she had kept a
bank account since 1909 The wit
ness was bookkeeper of the land COM
psnies when she bought the stock
last October, but admitted the trans
action was not entered in the books
of the company. There were num-
Der of books missing from those pro-
duced by Miss Crossley, and she was
directed by Referee Edwin G. Adams
to have the books in court at the next
hearing.
