ROSEBURG, OREGON,
KEEP PATRIOTISM ALIVE I
TilOlJGH it 13 little more than three decades ago that
victorious American troops were welcomed home from
cho Spanish conflict, yet forty per cent of those staunch,
iin.scllish men have pitched their tents in a distant camping
ijrouiid. Consider for a moment nearly half of those men
, . ho heard the call to defend the little island of Cuba and the
hilippire archiplelago against the tyrannical rule of Spain,
ive marched on. That h the toll of the enemy whojn even
ic bravest of hearts cannot vanquish. Death is the one
.incunquerable enemy of mankind either soldier or
civilian.
Cut, as state department officers of the Spanish
American War veterans organization said at the memorial
service in the library park last night, it is not a time to
mown the passing of these comrades but to pay tribute to
their bravery and their sacrifice.
Of those thousands who answered the call of their
country issued by President McKinley in 1898, not one was
: compelled to enter the army. Every man was a volunteer
-fighting not for defense of country, not for territorial
vafii, not for prestige or glory, but for a mighty principle.
! Xhaf principle was the preservation of the rights of small
nations and weak peoples against the diabolical persecution
and exploitation of greedy and corrupt powers.
They were patriots. They believed in patriotism. They
laid down their lives to prove that they were patriots. They
faced the gunfire of the sons of Spain they faced the hard-
ships in that tropical island to demonstrate that patrio-
. tism lived.
How aliout tno patriotism of today? Do we honor the
. old flag for which these men died? Today their living com-
rades carried the greatest flag in the world down Jackson
Street and scores of men stood along the street WITHOUT
REMOVING THEIR HATS! It was not an unusual oc
currence. At any such event where the colors pass by you
maj witness the same thing. It is shameful, almost criminal,
that such a thing should happen. .
:; They fought for the constitution of the United States,
.for law, for the sanctity of the nation and their homes. To
rday our nation is showing a tragic disregard for the con
stitution, particularly tho eighteenth amendment which is
; fiist as much a part of that immortal document as its pre
amble. Today, all over this country, we are seeing evi
dence of utter disregard tor law and order. Today we see
the ling of our nation pass by without so much as doffing our
hats. Is patriotism dying? It is our duty before God to
sic to it that patriotism .shall, not die.
" it is becauso tlicy are real, red-blooded American
"Pal riots that wo welcome to Roseburg the Spanish-American
War veterans and auxiliary members from all over the
jstato. It is becauso they did the greatest thing a man can
do lor his fellow man lay down his life for another that
we (uuse to honor the dead of these legions.
; Welcome, sportsmen! We hereby cast our vote for
-bigger and better fish (hat are not afraid to bite. Any
other little thing like that which could be arranged would
..also be appreciated.

1. Will you please tell me
how to address a wedding card to

2. What shall we say when we I

EACH gift should be wrapped

of the sender is enclosed
with the gift, and usually nothing

"And that's all you know?"
Marx snapped.
"Yes."
"All right," growled Marx.
"Thanks. Where can we reach you
If we want you?"
"I'm stopping at the Albert,"
said the Major. "I'll he (here for a
month." He clamped his derby
down once more. "Of course, I'M be
glad to help you out. Terrible busi
ness, isn't it?"
The detective escorted tho Ma

"How's our Utile murder?" de
manded Doctor Rhlnewald cheer
ily, rubbing his hands.
"Rotten," growled Marx.
"Who was the sporting gentle
man I've just passed In the corri

had some horses together."
"And did he enlighten you?"
"That's what I'm trying to find
out. I'l rat he acts as. if he don't

Tor me to know Mrs. Sewell was a

"Yes," said the doctor. "I have

quaintanceship. Remarkable wo
man!" "How do you know her?"
"1 called on her ibis morning.
Sheer curiosity."
"Whal'd she tell you?"
"She'll be here in a moment her
self. You can hear the story tivm
hand. Meanwhile" the doctor
seated himself In the sole
comfortable chair "shall 1 tell
you about the autopsy ? I've writ
ten a formidable report, but I've
no intention of reading It. My
pearls are never cast before de
tectives. The essential fact, which
I have reached with a colleague ai
your headquarters who makes c
passion of these things, is that th
bullet which ended Mr. SeweU's
career came from a special Itpe o'
gun used by the Germans In the
war. Also, there's no doubt at ail
now that Sew ell w as shot first,
and then seated in this very chair
before lhe mirror."
"That's all. hey?"
"I wouldn't dismiss these facts
In that offhand way." the doctor
smiled. "To solve this crime, all
you have lo do is to find out how
Sewell came up here without being
observed by any of the huildinc
employes; how the gntteman (or
lady i who ended a career came

him; how he was shot: how he

"You cnt nothing else to do ex

truculently.

doctor. "I'm not kidding you. I'm

"And you're going to give It to

"And plenty. They're bringing
Mrs. Edison down here. You say
SeweU's widow is coming. Then
I'm going to ask young Mr. Edison
a few questions. And we've got
men working on those clothes in
the closets we found, lief ore to
night there's going to be all the
action anybody will want and
more. Only what good it'll do us
I don't know. Dammit!"
"Tell me, Inspector," began Dr.
Rhlnewald, tapping a cigarette on
his white palm, "are you always a
pessimist ?"
"I know what I'm up against,"
Marx almost groaned. "These
damned society murders'll break
me yet."
"As an outsider," ventured the
doctor, "I don'! see your point of
view. A society murder is the
work of an amateur. All other
crime Is professional. Surely It is
easier to trap a novice than an ex
pert." "That's where you're all wet."
said Marx. "In one of these things,
anything can happen. In a regular
job. we know."
"Strange." murmured the doctor.
He rose as the doorbell buzzed.
The detective ushered in Mrs.
Sewell. She was n tall woman,
large-boned, with a seamed red
face that was shadowed hy a black
veil. She had put on mourning.
Marx judged her to he forty, or
older, for the rather hard face told
of suffering. The eyes were large
and black, the nose slightly red,
the mouth thin and bitter.
The doctor welcomed her, and
begged her to sit down after pre
senting Marx. As the detective
shook hands with her he got a
whl( of bootleg whiskey. Mrs. Sew
ell tippled.
"1 want you." said the doctor,
"to tell the inspector what you
told me."
The woman looked nt Marx.
"Certainly," and when she spoke,
Marx was amazed at the loud
quality of her voice. "I can tell you
about my husband. 1 guess. S'ou
haven't found the man who killed
him yet, have you?"
"Xo."
"Pecause if you have. I want to
meet that man and thank him."
Tgh?"
"You listen to me," boomed the
widow. "The man who finished him
did (he world a favor. Why, if his
body was here now I'd step on it.
I'd kick him! He was a rat!"
"You don'e know what you are
saying!" exclaimed Marx, as If in
voluntarily. ' Don't I ?" The woman laughed
scornfully. "Nobody else knew
Oliver Sewell the way I knew him.
He was as filthy a beast as ever
lived." She half rose from her
chair. "I put on mourning, not for
him. for myself. I know now that
something in my life is dead. And
I'm glad! Glad!" She repeated the
word defiantly. And then she
stormed at Marx:
"I made him. When he married
me. h didn't have a penny. 1
Irought his clothes. He was just a
no-account gambler. 1 taught him
bridge. That's how I started as a
teacher of bridg". I wrote a hook,
and he signed his name to it. "Sew
ell on Uridce!' The book made him.
famous. When the bridge craze
came, he was taken up by .society.
He made a fortune. And then he
chucked me. Hp didn't care what
happened to me. I could have
starved. And f did starv. And
when I cam begging to him, he
heat me. Oh! It s a wonder I didn't
kill him my.eir."
She paused breathless. Then she
took from her hand ha? a slight
sliver flask and drank heavily.
"It's my medicine." she ex ;
plained with a wry grin. "That's

guess this has been too much for
me. If you prayed every morning,
every night, if you wished with all
your heart that a man was dead

"You know, don't you," suggest

sounds bad for you? People will be

on closer survey Marx could see
that the wreck of a once beautiful
woman sat before him. Sorrow and
whiskey could not altogether de
stroy the mold of the features, and
her large eyes undoubtedly had
once been bright and alluring.
"When was that?" Marx asked
rather pointedly.
"Oh " she lauched. "Thai's a
