One instinctively says: "The great and good Lin coln." The instinct of average, sincere people can be more safely trusted than the puny efforts of sensation mongers who are trying to gain notoriety 5 EPRESENTATIVE . CRAIL, of California, says Masters' book Is filthy and indecent, and should be barred from the malls. Probably it is, all of that. But it is better to let it die under silent contempt than to dignify It by barring it from the malls by an act of congress. Lincoln, himself, would have been the last to sanction such an enterprise of censorship. , AN unemployed man, so we read In the papers, stands at the corner of Market and Montgomery streets in San Francisco selling ap ples or trying to, for few are sold. Then a friend comes along with a tame opossu.ii that does amus ing antics; a crowd gathers and the apples begin to sell briskly un til In a short time two boxes of them are gone at a nickel apiece. 'THE 'possum added nothing to the worthiness of the cause in Mioso name the apples were being (old. It added nothing to the flavor f the apples which were from Oregon, un-thcrifore' of a- flavor unsurpassed. Why did people begin to buy when the 'possum came along and entered the, scene, whereas they had NOT been buying before? Here is the only possible nn swer: "Because the 'possum added tho clement of novelty."

CIR CHARLES PARSONS, ln- ventor of the turbine engine, dies, and his death is considered sufficiently Important to be wired all over the world and printed on the front page of this and other newspapers. Why? Because he thought of something new and U15TTER that benefited humanity. VOU are familiar with the name of James Watt, "because It was James Watt who invented the steam engine. He sat before his mother's stove and watched the steam lift ing the lid of the teakettle. From that casual observation came the Idea of the power inherent In steam. This power was harnessed, and the result was the steam engine, which revolutionized industry. IAMES WATT'S engine was " crude and Imperfect. As the pis ton reached each end of the cylin der, a boy had to turn a valve, re versing the direction of the steam and pushing the piston back the other way. One day another boy, doing this routine task, just happened to think of a way to make the power of the steam ITSELF turn this valve, and he rigged up a device to accomplish that purpose and then ran off to play, leaving the engine running all by itself, without any body's help. ANOTHER idea that revolution ised Industry. IAMES WATT'S engine contained a piston, which must be pushed first in one direction, then pushed back In the other direction, thus entailing loss of power. Sir Charles Parsons figured out a way to cause steam to blow against a wheel like the fan of a windmill, causing this wheel to turn CONTINUOUSLY In one di rection, thus AVOIDING loss of (Continued on page 4) DEATH TAKES S. WILLIS ATAGE0F8 Resident of Roseburg Many Years, Pioneer School Teacher Passes on ' at Her Home. Mrs. William R. Willis, 86, a resident of Douglas county since 1862, one of Roseburg's best known ladies, died very suddenly late yesterday evening at her home in the public library building.

Willis, who came to Douglas county in 1853, and was one of the outstand ing lawyers of his time, serving as the first justice of the peace in Douglas county, mayor of Hose burg, county judge from 1860 to 1864, and in numerous other pub lic offices.- He bore the distinc tion of trying more cases, as a lawyer, before the supreme court of Oregon, than any other attor ney of his time. Mrs. Willis ably assisted her husband in every pos sible way in his public life. The Willis home, over which she presided, was for many years one of the most beautiful in Roseburg. it was located where the Perkins building now stands, the grounds including the entire half block. At the time the Perkins building was constructed,' the house was moV'ed and was later acquired by the city as a public library, for which pur pose It is still used. Mrs. Willis maintained her apartment upstairs, living continuously, in the house since its construction.

President Hoover told the American people last night that the present furnishes a criti cal test for the principles and ideals of his great predecessor. Today as in Lincoln's day, he told his radio audience, states' rights, the relationship of federal, state and local government re? sponslbilitles, form the dominant problem. "Victory over this depression and over our other difficulties," he said, "will be won by the resolu tion of our people to fight their own battles In their own communi ties, by stimulating their Ingenuity to solve their own problems, by taking new courage to be masters of their own destiny in the strug gle of life. This Is not the easy way, but it is the American way. And it was Lincoln's way." "You will find Lincoln address ing the country In strong and ur gent support of the protective tar iff. . . .

The house of commons, by a vote of 137 to 18, today ; rejected the bill which would have prohibited the use of alchoholic liquors as beverages tnroughout the United Kingdom Lady Nancy Astor, Virginia's contribution to the British house of commons, had members of that august body alternately laughing and gnashing, when she took the floor in debate on the bill. Lady Astor in a slashing and sometimes vitriolic speech, made it clear that she is against liquor, but did not believe in tackling the problem in the way suggested in the bill. Numerous interjections were made by Lady Astor while other speakers were on their feet. She protested vigorously when the con servative. Sir William Wayland said Americans were drinking more under prohibition than be fore. However, whoa she finally took the floor for her own speech, she said she could not vote for the bill because if she voted for prohibi tion she would not be doing what she thought was right.

Warns Against Superstate But it was to centralization or government that Mr. Hoover de voted his principal attention. If the federal government continued to take over new responsibilities, he warned. It could lead "but to the superstate where every man becomes the servant of the Btate and real liberty is lost." "Such was not the government that Lincoln sought to build," he added, Mr. Hoover told his audience that Lincoln was a good party man. ' Hi characterized him as a "Rudder in an epic of destruction." The president told how Lincoln, If he' could return today, would find 'the south recovered, inspired ! by a brilliant renaissance of in dustry and culture, and the Negro ; race he liberated progressed by us own endeavors to an amaz ingly high level of self-reliance and well-being."
