Testing Us Out

Why would it not be good idea for govern
ment right to put all the belhgerents on notice
that at least the settlement reached with Germany
about attacks passenger ships must apply to all
Of the fighting powers?
It seems pity that owing technicality, Austria
must be allowed to go with merely question and
suggestion for explanation after sending IS Americans
to their death in the Germany has abded, IN
measure, by her agreement. But Austria did not feel
bound by it. Of course if the ship tried to escape that
puts different phase the case and Germany might
have done the thing But in any event It viii be
hard to Justify the firing the life boats filled with
people. No chastisement awaits Austria and she
knows 1t.
England, in sending a boarding party from
cruiser into Mexican port and forcibly searching
American ship, also took fling at England cannot
claim accident justification. No naval commander
could been ignorant that he sending his men
into neutral haTbor, that he attacking neutral
ship under the American flag.
Especially linked up with all the other affronts,
this latest act of Great Britain most serious
aspects But England knows she take these chances
with perfect safety herself 1t IS not much the
acts themselves that Americans resent, II Is the
demonstration Of contempt for national rights which
such acts always imply
Under the circumstances it is not wonderful that
other powers take chances with But fears that
we are building up sad record for future reference
when power will undertake to try out national
force having been led to such test by apparent
compliance under injuries. Then all going to
be very much surprised that virtues counted
as Of so little worth by chalengers.

Who Knows of a 49,
Crippled Child?

County Superintendent ]. Percy
Wells has received an appeal from
the Oregon State Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs asking him to tell their
hospital committee about any Grip
pied children in this county who
could be aided by statewide organ
iZation to furnish free medical treat
ment of the most modern scientific
kind in all cases where the family in
come is not sufficient for expensive
consultation with specialists.
The federation, which includes a
hundred women's clubs in all parts
OF the state, asks anyone who knows
OF little victim of an accident, Of
spinal meningitis, of infantile paraly-
sis, OF tuberculosis IN the bones of
joints, or any other crippling cause,
to write the details of the case to
Mrs. Mile r. Trumbull, secretary
Child Welfare Commission, 250h
Third street, Portland, Ore.
The club women maintain that
these little cripples, besides being the
most pitiful of all cases of helpless
ness, and besides being entirely with
out organized assistance in contrast
with the great state institutions
which care for the deaf, the blind
the feeble-minded and even the delin.
quent, are also the most durable II
treated in time, and the most able
when so treated to make good
strong, useful citizens instead Of
charges on public charity all theil
lives.

Auto GyTateS
Around Curves

G. S. Butler gave a very interest
ing exhibition before large and
highly interested crowd on the Plaza
Monday evening. Watchers were
Mortified to see Mr.. Buffers Stude-
baker car gyrating in fantastic trans
cendental and synclinal curves down
the gentle stretches of pavement in
front of the Oregon Hotel. Upon
nearer approach the rapidly increas-
ing crowd saw the owner, firmly
seated and jauntily twirling the
wheel from side to side. First he
made dart at G. F. Billings office,
but appeared to observe that our
worthy insurance man was not in,
so changed his mind and started for
Provost Bros store, but remembered
that he had no business to transact
there and then made feint at the
Postal Telegraph office. Now, hon
estly and truly we don't believe that
he meant to scare the building even,
as he owns it, so we may possibly
have to admit that the little lunge
in that direction was entirely acci-
dental. By this time the assembled
multitude had commenced to seek
ash cans to hide in and some even
tried to climb up the front of the
city hall. Mr.. Buffers imagination
was working fast by this time, so he
decided to give a demonstration Of
traction plowing in the little trian-
gle of virgin grass by the city foun-
tain, first carefully stripping down
the larboard wheel to the nub, which
made a serviceable plowshare. The
shades of eve were falling fast by
this time, so our worthy citizen, who
believes in implicit obedience of the
law, dismounted to see if his tail
light was burning.
The queer part of the occurrence
was that Mr.. Butler left off from his
scientific investigations before try
ing out his trusty machine as a stump
puller on the aged elm which stands
in front of the council chambers of
our worthy city fathers.
And Ashland is dry town, too.
The real explanation of Mr.. But
ler's intrusion on the city park was
that he preferred making big circle
rather than to subject his two lady
passengers to the danger of upsetting
by making the short turn which
would have been necessary to straight
en- out the course of the car. The
spokes must have been weak, how
ever, and could not stand the strain.

purpose. 1t Is difficult for me to be-
lieve that the full effect of this fea-
ture of this bill was realized, framed
and adopted for me to assent to 1t in
the form in which it is here cast.
THE literacy tests and the tests
and restrictions which accompany 1t,
constitute an even more radical
change in the policy of the nation.
Hitherto, we have generously kept our
doors open to all who were not un-
fitted by reason of disease, or inca
pacity for self-support, or such per-
sonal records and antecedents as
were likely to make them. menace
to our peace and order. or to the
wholesome and essential relationships
OF life. In this bill 1t is proposed to
turn away from tests of character
and OF quality and impose tests
which exclude and restrict: for the
new tests here embodied are not tests
OF quality, or of character, or OF per-
sonaI fitness, but tests of opportun-
ity. Those who come seeking oppor-
tunity are not to be admitted, unless
they have already had one Of the
chief OF the opportunities they seek,
the opportunity Of education. The
object OF such provisions Is restr1c-
ton, not selection.

made up their minds to limit the
number Of Immigrants by arbitrary
tests and SO reverse the policy of all
the generations of Americans that
have gone before them, it is their
right to do so am their servant
and have no license to stand in their
way. But do not believe that they
have. l respectfully submit that no
one can quote their mandate to that
effect. Has any political party ever
avowed a policy of restriction In this
fundamental matter, gone to the
country on It, and been commissioned
to control It's legislation? Does this
bill rest upon the conscious and uni
versal assent and desire Of the Amerf-
can people? doubt 1t. 1t Is because
doubt 1t, that l make bold to dissent
from 1t. am willing to abide by the
verdict, but not until it has been rem
dered. Let the platforms of parties
speak out upon this policy and the
people pronounce their wish.
1.-THE matter is too fundamental to
be settled otherwise.
"I have no pride of opinion in this
question. I am not foolish enough
to profess to know the wishes and
ideals Of America better than the
body of her chosen representatives
know them. I only want instruction
direct from those whose fortunes
with ours and all mems are involved"

President Cara suddenly, while not
unexpected, plunged the city again
into state of despera ton.
Frightened inhabitants are quitting
the city. Isolated robberies and some
general looting have occurred.
Looming above all is the spectre OF
famine. Food prices, already abnorm-

when Cara assumed office, his rule Is
apparently doomed to be short lived
and he probably will be succeeded
within a few days by General Felipe
Angeles.
