Of prejudice there came in Oregon
personal and family feuds eOmpara-
bic to those that divided America
Ia the sad days Of the Civil War.
Passion supplanted reason In the
most unrelated walks Of daily life.
On the Ku-Klux preaching families
we're divided. Old friends ceased
speaking to one another. Partner
ships were broken up. Whole cour
munities were divided against them
selves.
Oregon presents to-day the "hor-
rible example" Of what an ultimate
extension Of Ku-Huxism means TO
an American community. We hope

More Business Than Sport

Doubtless the baseball magnates
now assembled In New York care
little about who fills the grand
stands, just so they are filled. Sure
Of a big gate" it matters nothing
TO them that baseball is rapidly
ceasing to be a sport ard Is as rap
idly becoming an industry. But 1t
does matter to the public, and,
sooner or later, gate receipts will
be affected by what is virtually the
substitution Of exhibitions for com
petitions.
When any prosperous club can,
whenever It chooses, buy the best
players in the open market the club
is no longer representative Of the
city under whose name it plays. The
purchase Of spectacular "money-get-
ting" players seriously Injuries the
game as q national sport. And it
was because il was a national sport
that il became so highly remunera-
tive as a business.
OF late years people who care for
real sport attend football games
and tennis and golf matches and
stay away from the ball grounds.
Their places are taken, it is true. by
crowds who must be amused by
something and would just as soon
be amused by baseball as by any
thing else. But the old enthusiasm
for the home team and the home
team players is gone, and viii never

Thrifty Spendthrifts

Senator Fletcher, speaking Ior All
the Democrats on the Senate Com
merce Committee except Mr.. Rams
dell, has fled a report attacking the
shipping bill because, as he says, II
may involve the government in an
annual expenditure Of $4,000, 900.
This figure is high. It would meas
ure the expenditure required only in
case privately-owned tonnage were
rapidly increased and private opera
ton widely extended.
But what reason can Mr.. Fletcher
have for complaining Of an exPen-
diture Of even $42,oOo,oOO year to
aid American shipping? He was
one Of the most enthusiastic support
ers Of the Wilson program for re-
storing the American merchant ma
rine. He was never afraid, when his
party was in power, 20 take millions
and millions out Of the Treasury in
order TO build and maintain an
ocean-going feet. He supported the
measures which led 20 an investment
Of more than S3,o00,oOo,o0O in a
government owned marine. The
value Of that investment has shrunk
70 much less than 81 200, 900, 1000 and
the ships left on the governments
hands are now either tied up or op-
Grated at a yearly loss Of about $780,
600, 900.
Is this a record TO entitle anybody
to protest against the extravaganza
or unwisdom Of a bill which aims
both at disposing Of part Of the gov
ernment's Jonah feet for cash and
at reducing the overhead charges
and deficits Of government opera
toni Mr.. Fletcher's argument
might have some pertinence if Con-
gress were being asked 10 initiate a
policy Of government encouragement
Of shipping. But that is not the
case. The pending bill merely offers
more economical alternative 70
the broken-down venture in govern
ment ownership. Mr.. Fletcher and
his friends spent on shipping over
$4,000, 900, ,00o which will never come
back. Yet they groan aloud when it
is proposed to spend from $4,000
900 to s30,OOO,OOO a year to help to
| liquidate the feet assets which re-
main and to put our merchant ma
rine on a normal private operation
basis.
Mr.. Fletcher seems, in fact, un-
willing to admit, even at this late
date, the failure Of government op-
GRAFTON. He said airily in his re-
port:
zone thing Is certain, and that Is
there is no occasion for continuing
these government operationl losses.
II the Shipping Board cannot escape
them, then let them turn the ships
over TO the Panama Steamship Com
pany, or 70 the United States Line,
under Mr.. Rossbottom, these two
concerns alone now being guilty Of
the offense Of government operation,
and we have no doubt we will share
In the experience which these lines
have enjoyed up to this time, namely,
a profitable and successful business"
Two days after the Fletcher re-
port was filed the Panama Steam
ship Company made its report for
the fiscal year 1922. This dis
closed a net deficit Of s5s7.S92, com
pared with a net deficit Of S700,s1O
for the preceding year. There should
be no question Of the passage Of the
shipping bill if these are the best
arguments which the Commerce
Committee minority can advance
against it.

The decision averred that the Japan

The decision was BASED on an old
