MEMORIAL DAY
 HOLIDAY MAKERS.

The fact that the crowds at the Memorial Day exercises are found at the ball games and on the motor roads is the source of regret to all who are interested in this national recogni- ~tion of men who gave up their lives in so1dferly duty. Yet when you think of the pace at which modern life goes, it is not surprising that peo- pie on a holiday turn to physical re- taxation rather than to the perform ance of duties no matter how sa- cred.
 The business man. fretted by the strain of daily labor, needs the open air and the relaxation of sports. Fac1 tory life is speeded up today, and tho fresh air and com petitive thrills of ball game are a life giving tonic to the weary mechanic.
 All who can ought to attend pa triotic exercises wherever they are held, and are rewarded for their eff fort by the gratitude of the surviv- ing remnant of veterans. Still one should not be too pessimistic because these exercises are not given to crowded houses. The American peo- pie are workers, and the days when the shop closes are their one time for play.

SUMMER STUDY PLANS
 FOR Y. M. c. A. MEMBERS

That study in warm weather has no terrors for ambitious young men is evidenced by the fact that the Y. M. c. A. has just announced a summer term in higher mathematics, to be staged early in June, as soon as the present spring term class under H. R. Bassett, M. E., is over.~
 According to advices received this morning from the educational depart ment at the association, this idea of summer study in their evening school is gaining favor every year. Those in charge believe that the time is not far distant when their educational de- partment will be in full swing all the year around, just as are many of the public schools in Europe.
 At the present time, three summer term courses are already in progress, one in mechanical drafting and blue print reading under G. P. Smith; an advanced class in English for foreign speaking men, under N. M. Brown; and an elem nentary class in the same subject under s. D. Rappaport.
 Other couFses in prospect for the summer according to MT. Keeney, the educational secretary, are short course in character analysis and voca- tiona1 guidance, under Jessie Allen Fowler of New York, a course in memory training, and any other courses whatsoever for which there is sufficient demand.

Administration, who have taken a keen personal interest in the effort of the powerful influences arrayed against MT. Brandeis to keep him off the Supreme Court bench, expressed qualification that the Democratic members of the committee stood sol idly for his confirmation. They en- certain no doubt as to the outcome of the contest.
 The record in the Brandeis case is most voIuminous and covers pretty nearly every phase of the various ac- tivities of MT. Brandeis during the thirty eventfu1 years of his public career. The opposition to him, which was directed at first against his pro fessionaI conduct in connection with 8 wide range of legal undertaki finally centered around his alleged radicalism and social features of a racial character.
 Charges made by corporation in f1uences that he had antagonized were swept aside by Republican Senators as im1naterial, it being their conclusion that his alleged violation of profes- sional ethics had not been established Much of the opposition was due, un- doubtedIy to the belief that the sit would have preferred the selection of a man of a different type.
 Probably no nomination sent to the Senate ever provoked so much public interest as that or MT. BGandoIS From the time that his nomination was proposed by President Wilson un- til a few days ago every mail brought to the ninety-six Senators indorse- ments and protests against his con-
 1rmation. Ninety-five per cent. of these communications were of a, fla vorab1e character, expressing the con viction of the writers that MT. Bran deis would make a splendid addition to the legal qualities already repre- scented on the bench.
 These Endorsements unmistakably influenced a number of Democratic Senators, especially from the South ern States, to reconsider their original determination to oppose MT. Brandeis. This fact is admitted by some of them. The President personally urged the members of his own party to vote for the confirmation of his nominee. He justified his appeal on the ground that MT. Brandeis was fitted in every way for the Supreme Court Bench. In a recent letter to Chairman Gull person of the Judiciary Committee commenting on the criticism directed
 against MT. Brandeis, the President made known for the first time the tinguished Hebrew lawyer for a Cabi- met position; that he entertained the 1 very highest respect for his personal l character, and legal abilities, and that he believed he was rendering a public 1 service in proposing him for the Su- preme Court.

Senators Shields and O'Gorman Of New York, who were figured as doubtful by the friends of MT. Bran deis, hurried to Washington in re- sponse to a summons from Chairman Culberson in order to register their votes for the favorable report.
 Immediately after the action of the committee, Senator Cummtns and Borah and some of the colleagues on the Republican side of the chamber, expressed the opinion that the fight against MT. Brandeis had failed and that there should be no further delay on the part of the Senate in accept ing the report of the committee and moving immediately to the confrna- tion The views expressed by these Senators were reflected by other Re publicans.
 The nomination was reported to the Senate Wednesday afternoon without ceremony. It is the purpose of the Democratic leaders to ask the Senate to set aside some day next week in order to pass upon the final stage of what has been one of the bitterest fights against a Presidential nominee in the history of the Senate. Unless the more reactionary- of the RepubIi- can Senators decide to proIong what a. number of them regard as a hope less fight there is every reason to be- 1ieve that the Senate will take up the nomination during the coming week.

NEW YORK HAVING
Riot Reports Unfounded
Continued from l age /

At police headquarters today it was
asserted that all reports Of brick throw
ing and near rioting received from the
Interborough company had proved to
be unfounded.
Five thousand police were on strike
duty today. From two to four uni
formed officers were assigned to every
subway and elevated station in town.
On the subway a policeman was on
guard at the underground stations on
both the uptown and downtown sides.
All subways and elevated trains were
equipped with special guards to guard
motormen from injury in case of at
tack.
President Theodore ?. ShOnts of the
Nnterborough company claimed early
today that normal service was being
maintained on both the subway and
elevated system. Upwards of five
thousand strikebreakers were housed
in various barns of the companies
which had been converted into bar
racks.
Trains were in operation throughout
the night, but toward early morning
train service became intermittent. The
strike was called shortly after 8 o clock
and from tnen on until today it was ev
ident that the regular men were gradu
ally leaving their posts.
Interborough officials have flatll
refused to arbitrate the difference
with the employees. The men strucl
because of the refusal of General Man
ager Hedley to abrogate individua

with hundreds of employees after tn
recent troubles when a strike was mar
rowly averted.

and company officials declare inter
vention by the mayor will be useless
Both sides seemed determined to figh
it out to a finish.
Strike leaders claimed early toda.
that fifty per cent of the subway an.
elevated employees had already quit
They asserted that by tonight the pow
er houses of both systems will be clos

Medical Society Has
Session at McMinnville

McMinnville, Or, Sept. THE Polk
Yamhiil, Marion Medical society met
in this city Tuesday night, with large
number of doctors of the three coun-
ties in attendance. After enjoying a
banquet at the Hotel Elberton, at which
many of the wives also were present,
they went to tine rooms of the CONNER
cial club to discuss subjects of inter
est to the profession.
DIR. Mcintyre of Salem read paper
on anesthesia, and after brief dis
eussion from the floor, the doctors
unanimously indorsed ether as the SAT
est anesthetic.
How to handle the feeble minded was
the subject of paper by DIR. Smith,
superintendent of the Feeble Minded
institution of Salem. DR.. Smith spoke
in favor of segregation and detention
of all feeble minded persons, under
proper supervision.
This, he said, would give them a
chance to become partially self sup
porting under surrounding agreeable to
themselves and would prevent tae pro
creation of so per cent of the feeble
minded persons. If the present system
of intermaraiage of feeble minded peo-
pie is allowed to continue, their sup
port, he contended will soon become
an impossible burden to the state.

Hop Crop Will Be Short
Much Mold In Evidence

The hop situation may be summed
up in few words. There is much
mold, and the crop is going to be short.
Picking has begun in practically all
the yards. In the Independence dis
triet it is reported that many pickers
have failed to show up, and call has
been sent out for more pickers.
Fuggles, which comprise but small
portion of the whole crop, have all
been picked. Most reports are That
they have turned out well and are of
good quality.
Stories continue to come of growers
who have decided TO abandon their
yards.
The new dryer at the Livesley yards
south of town has been giving some
trouble, and it has been found neces-
sary to take some Of the hops from
the Livesley yards to other dryers, but
the difficulty seems to have been rem
edied and the new drying plant, it is
stated, is doing from two to three
times the work heretofore accomplish
ed with the old style dryers.
