Who h to Blame?
yiOMMENTJNG upon the fuel
that the leading candidate for
the office of governor la a dis
barred attorney and that his near
est comitetitor was not free from
legal scandal the "Oregon Voter"
says :
"We fear the courts und the le
gal profession have a great deal to
answer for in this our stale of Ore
gon before they can be re-established
adequately in the public con
fidence. The better members of the
law profession have held their
skirts about them snugly, letting
the dirty work be carried ou by
those .who had their own selfish
purposes to serve, political or oth
erwise. We believe the time has
arrived when these better jmem
hcrs had better show initiative ,of
their own towards a housecleaning
which seams to be badly jieeded."
If the Voter means that a house
cleaning is needed In the legal pro
fession alone, and without refer
ence to the political situation the
above might be tukeu for what it 1b
worth. The statement was made,
however, at the close of a political
discussion in that magazine.
The legal profession cannot be
blamed for the fact that certain of
its members whether iu ill or good
repute professionally, seek political
glory. The voters of the state are
parLly to blame for that, but not en
tirely. More properly the blame for the
fact that attorneys so predominate
in public life should be laid at the !
door of members of the other busi
nesses and professions in the state.
The dearth of leaders in public life
recruited .from business lu one of
our political Ills. If attorneys . ure
compelled to take the lead in pub
lic affairs und If occasionally an
undesirable ono becomes a leader,
the legal profession as a whole Is
not to blamo.

Opinions
Nothing But Politics
(Saloon Capital -Journal)
TUB removal of Judge Robert
W. Sawyer of Bond from the
highway commission is nothing but
politics. Governor Norblad may
niako what protestations he may;
but his action is pu....v.j pure and
simple, or Impure and unholy if
you look at it that way.
Judge Sawyer has taken Uie
time to study the highway prob
lems of Oregon thoroughly. He
went on the commission w ell equip
ped because he had served for
years as county judgu of lies
chutes county. He has been fi
nancially situated so he could de
vote time and money lo the work.
Just recently Jio spent weeks iu
Washington, I. C, at heavy per
sonal expense, doing w hat he .could
to secure appropriations for Ore
gon roads.
His going off the highway com
mission will be a big loss to the
state. No man the governor can ap
point will ho as well equipped men
tally and physically with such a
background of experience as Judge
Sawyer.
Removal of Sawyer Deplored
(Portland Oivgunlan,
The political aspect of (lie re
moval of Judge Sawyer from the
highway commission , cannot bu
overlooked. Just such action has
been cm-rent rumor for Home time
and has been aitrihuled to a poli
tical alignment which the governor
entered into and which whs unfav
orable to Sawyer. The public can
not help but ferl that a political
motive is behind the removal, a
circumstance that is to be deplor
ed. The high Ideal of keeping poll
tics out of road administration has
hii'n faithfully adhered to in the
past. Governor Norblad senses the
basic soundness of this w hen he
says that he intends to make no
further changeH of personnel, nor
to interfere with Hie employ
ment of the highway engineer.
Commissioner's Work Commended
(MedCord Mail Tribune)
Judge Sawyer is a rare combina
tion of the thoroiuch cenllcmnu. iu
the best Inlrrprtduttmi of that
term; and a capable executive, sin
cerely devoted to the interests of
the people.
In the construction of better
mads, he has always heeu a loyal
friend of southern Oregon, and yet
one ot the most conspicuous traits
of liis character has been his abso
lute fiUruess. refusal to play In
volutes, his rigid adherence to the
principleand the right principle
that the highway coiimii.-slon Is
not a political organization, nor a
local development tirgaiHut ion
but an organization devoted to the
highway Interests of the entire
slate.
Always courteous ami consider
ate. Judge Sawyer has neverthe
less been a courageous fighter for
every cause which he believed to
he right, and by slit cr miici ity
and dependability, has reiaiii' d uoi
onlyjiie affocliou, of lit Ii lends,
but the respect and good will of
nis opponents.
He is too valuable a man on the
highway commission to be remov-1
ed luls time.
Sawyer High Type Citizen
(Coos Bay Times)
Governor Al W. Norblad has lost
heavily in esteem among business
and professional leaders in Oregon
by ousting Judge Robert W. Saw
yer from the al&Ui highway coin
miKsion. Judge Sawyer Is among that
rare class of citizens, a man de
voted lo public service for the ul
timate interest of the entire state.
Those men who know Judge Saw
yer know there Is no political eu
phony in that sentence.
Judge Sawyer, a graduate with
honors of Harvard law school,
county judge of ability, among the
outstanding publishers of the state.
a sound, keen, well-educated busi
ness man, can afford to and has
continually given the bulk of bis
time to the well-nigh "sacred
tank," as he termed it, of seeing
Oregon's highway program brought
to completion. A notable "hobby"
of the judge's while bent on this
Job, has been to preserve to tin
slate the scenic beauties along its
highways as well as to build
straighter, better-graded routes of
travel.
The judge has been unceasing
and devoted in his efforlH. His
service has been above the taint of
"politics"; his motives, genuine,
laudable. To think that he would
be summarily dismissed, Is - to
think that Oregon no lunger appre
ciates civic devotion.
Pledges Held Violated
(Salem Capital-Journal)
For the first time since its or
ganization, .Governor Norblad is
making the slate highway commis
sion the football of politics. The
summary and .unjustifiable remov
al of Robert W. Sawyer, one of
the most capable and useful mem
bers of the commission cannot be
construed otherwise. While it is
a fulfillment of pre-prlmary prom
ises made for political support it
is also a violation of pre-prlmary
pledges publicly made by both the
governor and his campaign man
ager to the people.
Upton Held Paid Off
(I,n Urnntle Obsorver)
Jay Upton o( Bond supported
Norblad in the recent primaries.
Juy .Upton dislikes bin fellow-towns-man,
Judgo Sawyer. Upton is paid
off with Sawyer'a removal. The
removal of Corrigan from the stale
game board carries a similar
story.

INWGhlSTION is the bugbear of
thousands of persons. They
would do almost anything to be re
stored lo good health.
There are many varieties of in-,
digestion or dyspepsia. What is
called "acidity" is perhaps the
commonest of all. It comes at any
ago and may last only a few days
or it may persist for monlns.
Sometimes it onds in ulcer of the
stomach or something worse. That
Is sufficient reasou for avoiding
tills condition.
There are three symptoms al
ways preseut iu ulcer of the stom
ach. They are pain, vomiting und
hemorrhage; pain Is the ohtef sign
of this trouble. Heartburn and con
stipation, blood mingled with the
vomited food, severe pains In the
middle of the back ami stomach,
may Indicate ulcer.
Rest is the first nuuedy for this
condition. The patient must have
special feeding, but the physician
iu attendance will see lo this. He
inurti direct the treatment.
One uf the common causes of In
digestion Ih taking food without
chewing It properly, whole pieces
of meat and other food are too
commonly swallowed without
chewing. You ate hound to have
disturbances iu stomach and bow
els afler such a performance.
Ingestion begins In the mouth.
For this reason thorough mastica
tion of the food and free mixture
with the saliva axe necessary to
good digestion.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE
On the eve of her marriage- to
Rodney Sayre. Emily Duane dis
appears. She had left her Hilldale
Park home. "Knollwood," to visit
the hospital, but never reached
there. Foul play is feared when
Jim Pennington reports his wife.
Pauline, and Emily's best friend,
also missing. Pennington says he
lett his wife at the ravine, a short
distance from the Duane home.
When he returned she had van
ished. The police find Polly's body
in the ravine. Pennington is pros
trated. Now Go on With the Story
CHAPTER XVII.
Gibby could do nothing in the
matter, he couldn't make search
where better and wiser searchers
were covering the ground.
He concluded to go home; it was
only right the tale shou 4 be passed
on to the others, so l.j gave one
last glance at the by nquad of
police and their helpers, civilian
and official, who were making
notes and talking In low tones.
A tall skinny lad came up to
him and said abruptly:
"Ain't you a friend of them Pen
nineton foMcs?"
"Yes," returned Gibby, "who are
you?"
"I'm the guy Murdock got to
climb down there and help him.
I can climb!"
Gibby glanced at his lithe slim
ness and his muscular legs and
arms and said he didn't doubt it.
"Well, I can; so the p'lice they
hired me to go down and help
Murdock, so I did. Murdock can
climb, too."
The last rnther grudgingly.
"Well, what about it?" asked
Gibby, pretty sure the boy wanted
an honorarium.
"Why, this. After we put the
lady in the hammock and the
fellerB up above hauled her up, I
looked around so see what I could
see, and I found this. So I brought
It here to give to Mr. Pennington,
but he's gone, they say. So can
I give it to you?"
He held out a sable neckpiece,
of considerable value.
Gibby was a bit surprised that
he hadn't stolen it, but realized
that a superstitious person couldn't
do that.
"Yes, I'll take charge of It. I'm
staying at .Miss Duaue's house, aud
I'll give it to the ladies there and
they'll see that it reaches Mr. Pen
nington." He reached In his pocket, but
the hoy said quickly:
"No, mister, 1 don't want no
pay." And looked so frightened
that Gibby more than ever mar
veled at tho extent of the fear of
the dead.
"All right, Bub. What's your
name?" ,
"Billy McGuire. I can climb."
"Yes, that's just it. Now, Hilly,
suppose you do some climbing. You
know Miss Duane is lost. She may
be iu the other ravine, or even in
this same one." -
"No, sir, she ain't." ,
"How do you Jtnow?" 1
"I ben a-lookin'. First thing l
heard that young lady was missin'i
! dumb down into the ravine by j
the hospital that's where theyi
said she was headed for and she
wasn't there'
"Did you hunt any more?"
"Well, no. It got dark and soon
after Murdock sent for me to help
him."
"Then you haven't hunted at all.
Now you get up with the sun to
morrow morning and hunt good
and plenty. I hope to heaven jiou l
don't find her, but you can see fori
yourself there is a chance. You'll
be well paid for your time."
"I'll do it. Lordy, I couldn't
keep away from thom ravines. Hut
most of the rails is higher than the
one Mrs. Pennington fell over."
"All right, Hilly, you do what
you can in the way fo climbinr
down to see. And I'm much
obliged to you for returning this
fur tippet. Good night.
"Good night, sir."
Gibby walked toward the Duane
house. He passed the Miller house,
right across the road from which
ran a small street, really a lane.

was an institution. The only shop
on that side of town whore ono

be noedod in a hurry.
Gihhy looked back to the little
ravine and pictured Paulino stand
ing there while Jim went to Wal
lace's on the trifling errand. Pic
turod hor look in? over the rail,
realized the strange lure high
places or prerlplees have for some
natures and pictured hor throwing
herself ovor. For he didn't much
hnlieve it was an accident. Th
bridge rails wore pretty sturdy
across the ravines, and he had no
ticed the nervous, restless state of
Mrs. Pennington. They had told
him she had never ceased to
mnurn tho death of her baby. Per
haps she somehow hoard of th
birth of the Laurence child, and.
knowing she cnuld never have an

So Gibby told them in a straight

events of the rescue of Mrs. Pen

to the hospital.
"It seems so queer," Betty ob
served, "Polly was one of the chief
ones in getting that hospital built

"Had she melancholia at all?"
asked Gibby.
"Not exactly that, but she had

"Ob, I don't know It wasn't

"Then I bet she threw herself

Ing to do? If you don't want to
go to bed, Rod, we men will sit up
with you. Theres positively noth
Ing to be done, but what do you
say?"
Sayre looked quietly Indignant
"I couldn't go to bed, Pete. I'm
sure nobody could in these circum
stances.1 Anyway, I can't. But I
don't want you people sitting up
with me. Go along and get some
rest, and Lord knows you need it,
Hetty and Nell go to your rooms
and relax. Put on your kimonos,
so you can come down, if neces
sary, but lie down on your beds
and try to sleep. 1 shall just stay
here in this room, or wander out ou
the lawn."
"We'll all stay up awhile long
er," Betty said, kindly. "Maybe
she'll come home."
Rod threw her a grateful glanc
for this speech, and Nell wished
she had thought to make it.
"Oh, here's Mrs. Pennington's
fur neckpiece." Pete said, sudden
ly remembering it.
"Why, that's Emily's!" cried Nell
and Rodney sprang up.
"No. it isn't," Betty told them,
"Emily and Polly had them just
alike. They bought them at the
same time, and though they're a
little out of date now, they both
cling to them.
"Where'd it come from?" asked
Rod, his spirits sinking back to
apathy.
"It was found where Mrs. Pen
nington's body was found," Gibby
told them. "Hut it wasn't discov
ered until after she had been
brought up. Then the chap who
found it brought it to give to Jim,
and as Jim had gone this boy
asked me to take care of it."
"Who is he?" .
"I don't think he is connected
with the police, but they hired him
touight to climb down the ravine
to assist Murdock. He's a great
climber."
"He Is?" and Rod's mind worked
along the lines Petes had. "Then
why don't we "
"Gei him to climb down and look
for Kmily? We're going to. old
man. I asked him to rise at dawn
tomorrow and go to it."
"Good for you. Pete," and Sayre's
glance said far more than his
words.
