nation. Now the saloon are closeG
and the Governor purposes, he says
to keep them closed. The issue is
! clearly made between the Governor
who supersedes the civil law, and the
men Of Copperfield, who have captur-
ed and have been using the machinery
of law for their own benefit, but who
have nevertheless not broken the laws.
If the Copperfeld episode stood
by itself, it might not be significant
or ominous. 1t is impossible to de-
fend or excuse the saloons there, and
it is impossible to justify the methods
by which they have been licensed and
maintained. But underlying this un-
pleasant situation is the fundamental
question of law observance and law
respect by Governor as well as by
saloon-keepers. If the Governor of
Oregon by his frat and the exercise
of the military power of the state
may suppress the saloon-keepers and
destroy the saloons of Copperfeld, he
may suppress the saloon-keepers and
destroy the Saloons of Portland. If
he may act in this arbitrary and ex-
traordinary fashion against the sa-
looms, he may move against any other
institution displeasing him. He may
interfere with and control the gov
ernment of Portland or any city in
the state, or the state itself, to bring
about any result whatever. and the
only limits to his executive preroga-
tive are his ability to carry out his
plans.
1t does not meet the question to
say that the end is justifiable. That
may be conceded, and is conceded;
but the means are nevertheless re-
prehensible. The Governor who uses
his extraordinary power for you, in
any emergency, may by your approval
be encouraged to use the same power
against you, in any other
1t Us therefore
a most dangerous and unwarrantable
exercise of power. 1t is a grave thing
to suspend civil authority. 1t is an
proceeding anywhere in
any civilized government, except in
times of rebellion or great public
peril. No such situation exists any
where in 0regon.-Oregonian.

MAIL ORDER HOUSES KEEP
POSTED,

As the new parcel post rates are
now in force the mail order houses
are reading the county papers and
watch the advertisements with eagle
eyes. When they find that the mer-

tise their goods they Immediately

ABOVE THE CIVIL LAW

Governor West has taken posses
sion Of Copperfeld by military force.
He has set aside the civi law and has
established martial law. Martial law
is entire suspension of all civil OF
ordinary governmental processes, and
is substitution of the rule of a mill
tary commander who becomes at once
in his own person the law or whatever
law there is.
Calmly viewed, the Copperfield ep-
isode is an assertion of the supreme
will of the Governor of Oregon over
all the constitutional guarantees of
the average citizen. His warreut is
solely that the end justifes the means.
Copperfield was controlled by the
saloons, and long had been. The
NJ; yor and several Councilmeu were
in the liquor business, and were The
6enelieiaries of the license privileges
glar;ed by themselves as pubic rf-
ficials to themselves as citizens. This
IN itself it not unlawful proceelinc,
though it is unseenly and improper;
nor is there any assertion frrm any
reputable source that there had hcen
an ilagrart violations of law at Cop
perfeld by the saloons or ON their
account. But unquestionably the
condition was bad. The county au-
thorities would not, or could not, cor
rect it and the Copperfeld citizens
were either powerless, or afraid, or in
different. Then the Governor took
hand and sent Miss Hobbs to Copper
field accompanied by a militia guard
and armed with an executive proela-

EMPEROR OF RUSSIA AND PREsI-
DENT OF CHINA CONFER DECO
RATIoNs ON CATHOLIC PRE-
LATES.

Decoration of ecclesiastics is not an
uncommon thing in Europe. But here
are two of an unusual character worth
chronicling. The first to be mentioned
is one by the Emperor of Russia. This
ruler has conferred the Grand Cross
Of the Order of st. Stanislaus on Mgr.
Luigi Misciatelli, Under Project of the
Sacred Apostolic Palaces.
The President of the Chinese Re-
public, Jouan Chi Kai, through the
Governor of Chantoung, the most popu-
lated and prosperous province of
China, has conferred the insignia of
the National Order of the Rice Flower
on Mgr. Giesen, Friar Minor and Bish-
op of Paltus. The ceremony took place
at the episcopal residence in the city
of Tisnanfou, which counts more than
100000 inhabitants. Mgr. Giesen, who
was born in Amsterdam in 1868, is

A RARE VOL U NE
"oFFICES OF THE VIRGIN" NOTED
FOR ITS FINE ILLUSTRA-
TONS.

Perhaps the most wonderful book
in the world has recently been shown
at the Columbia University, New
York. 1t is full of pictures in fair
colors of miracle workers and Bible
characters. 1t is called Offices of
the Virgin" It's cover of silver and
gold was wrought by Benvenuto Gel
lini. 1t was Illuminated in 1916 by
the greatest of all illuminators, Giullo
Clovio, for Cardinal Farnese. It's love-
illness has been enjoyed by twelve gen.
erations; thousands of eyes have read
it page by page; hundreds of fingers
have searched out the curve and
smoothness of Clovio's tiny figures.
These memories give an added worth
to book that has outlived many
mems lives and still endures. Princes
of Church and State have been made
and unmade, but the line of hobbling
custodians has gone on tending it,
and always it will have a keeper as
long as the pages hold together. The
cannonadings Of war have not rustled
one leaf in it's folded sheet; time is
it's only enemy, and the unsullied
parchment has already outlasted four
centuries. 1t will still be telling of
the saints when eur noisest deeds have
ceased to rumble. Those figures of
the holy ones are so gay and young
that they live on as if in an arrested
springtime.

GoIdstein Lectures: David Gold

May "a, and in Bismarck, Monday,

lures, deals with Socialism as phil
osophy and as political movement.
He is the author, with Mrs. Martha
nj. Avery, of the well-known volume,
Socialism, the Nation of Fatherless
Children. The lecturer is of Hebrew
descent and is a convert from Juda-
ism. AS a Jew he was an ardent So
cialist and occupied positions of prom
inence in that party. After his CONVEX
sion to Catholicism, deeper study of
socialism convinced him of it's errone-
Gus principles and baneful methods;
and for several years past he has been
occupied in lecturing and writing
against this movement and against
the philosophy upon which it is based.

OUR SOUTHERN NE|GHBORS
FAR AHEAD OF THE UNITED
STATES IN EDUCATIONAL
FACILITIES.

One very pleasant result of this Mex
lean trouble, says R. C. Cleaner in the
Catholic Columbian, is the attention
given to the fact that our South Amer
lean neighbors are not all ignorant
bloodthirsty, etc., but on the contrary
have much in their civilization in
which they can justly take pride. Here
is bit of an extract from paper con-
tributed to "The Journal of Race De-
velopment," published at Clark Uni
versity, Worcester, Mass. The writer
says:
"The first university founded in the
New World was that of Santo Tomas
de Aquino at Santo Domingo, in 1888.
This university is no longer in exist
ence, but there is that of San Marcos
at Lima, Peru, founded in 1851; the
University of Mexico, established in
1853 and re-founded in 1910; the Uni
versity of Cordoba, in Argentina, dat
ing from 1913; that of Sucre, in BOLIVIA,
founded in 1923, or thirteen years be-
fore Harvard, and that of Cuzco, in
Peru, established in. 1892, or eight
years earlier than Yale. The Univer-
sity of Caracas, in Venezuela, dates
from 1921, and that of Habana, Cuba,
from 1928, the other universities
founded before the nineteenth century
being that of Santiago, Chile, in 1743,
and the University of Quito, Ecuador,
in 1887.
