Dictator and Results
A DICTATOltSHIP, so they suy,
is a place whore they get
things done. A domocraey Is an
unwloldy, talk-cursed agglomera
tion of politicians In which prompt
and efficient action 1b Impossible.
Honco the dictatorship must in
evitably supplant tho democracy
In this complox, fast-moving mod
orn world.
That, ut any rato, is tho argu
ment. It has boon worked over
time in tho last few years. Prophets
of tho right and prophets ot tho
loft havo announced confidently
that nntlons like England, franco,
and America could not hope to go
on as thoy woroj their only choice
must bo botwoon Fascism and Com
munism, since democrauy was
doomed in any case.
As long as this remained in the
roalni ot pure theory, It was u bit
hard td answer. No Amorlcun
could deny thnt a democracy could
bo exceedingly Inefficient, on oc
casion. . A glance ut the nearest
, stnto lcglnlaturo wus almost
chough to iiiuko one swallow tlio
domoorooy l dono - tor, argument,
book, lino, and sinker.
Dut tho proof of tho pudding Is
In tho oullhg, and it begins to
look its if a significant helping Is
bolng eaten in Spain.
There it Is becoming apparent
that although dictators may got
things done, the tilings they got
dono aro very ottbn calamitously
wrong, not to suy slupld.
1
Mussolini and Hitler doelurod
thomuelvos in oil tho SpnnlBh war,
and bound up their prestige with
tho triumph of tho rebels. Italians
anil Hermann wont to Spain to In
struct, advise, und fight; Italian
and German wur material was
sent thoro tor tho robels to uso.
And after long months of ull
this, tlio rebel causo Is in u re
markably bad way. Tho "invincible
legions" of llio dlctutoru turn out
lo bo somewhat below tho gruilo
ot shock troops. Uorninn planes
provo loss airworthy than tho
pianos tlown by the Spanish loyal
ists. Herman and Italian tanks are
outclassed by government lunks.
lloeiiuse of nil this, tho dictators
are fur worso oft than they wore
u your ugo. Thuy havo boon got
tlng by, in it Eurnpo that Is ufrnld
of war, on tholr reputations as
lords of unbeulablo fighting nut
chines. They havo lulled on tholr
cuitutrymon to accept it lower
stnndurd tif living so that thoiic
fighting machines could bo built.
Thoy havo muscled ihulr wuy
through international politics by
thrcnlolllng to put Iho boots to

KING OF HEARTS
By EDNA ROBB WEBSTER
Jack rejoiced that ills Impulsive
departure hud lunded him in the
northern city on Sunday, when be
might go directly to Mrs. Kime's
and find Lynn. That is, he hoped
to find her at Mrs. Kime's, if some
hoydenish prank had not deceived
him. So many times had hope lur
ed him to tho same destination, In
vain, that he was still skeptical
at seeing her tliei'e at all. But if
Lynn were living thoro again, us
the letter hud assured him she was,
it would be nico to surprise her on
this lovely spring Uuy of her leis
ure. Mrs. Kime's greeting was decid
edly more gracious' than her first
one hud been. "Sho's come back!"
were her first, jubilant words, i
"She's here?" his words wore
half interrogation und half convic
tion. "No she isn't hero, Just now,,
but she'll ho back sonio time this
evening. She went away for the
day with u friend of hers," she
finished with an apologetic lono.;
Which tono betrayed to Jack
that tho friend wus masculine.
"Oh!" ho exclaimed with bitter
disappointment. Ho hosltutod,-then
decided, "I'll come hack, later
nnd wait for nor." Ho turned
away slowly, reluctantly.
. i
Tho spring sky was a deep vault
of blue, high ubove, pricked with
slurs and dusty-silver showers of
light so remote that they did not
even twinkle. Lynn remembered
the low celling of tho tropics with
lis multitudes of flashing lights
out over the buyous in the throb
bing closeness of the night, and
the fireflies suspended in tho air
like stars fulling to earth in show
ers. This night was divine, but
ah! the magic of that other. Not
alone the heavens und the stars
and (he atmosphere were different.
Ou that other night, Jack was
driving his car through the star
filled night. Tonight, it was Jed
Townsend who But beside her in
the cool, thin silence of lake
breezes. And their conversation
had progressed rnpidly from casual
business to very direct personal
matters.
"Well, how do you like It?" ho
had referred to her new work.
"1 love it, Jed! it was sb sweet
of you lo help me get started.'
"Lovo nnything else?" he sug
gested quickly, bending toward
her.
"Why " sho laughed with con
fusion, wondering how to reply to
him, "what do you mean?"
"1 mean that 1 lovo youadore
you!" he declared vehemently, und
took her in his urms with a sudden
gosturi'. "Lynn darling, 1 hadn't
planned to tell you so soon but 1
can't help myself, I can't wait
to know how It is with you" he
whs looking down Into her white
face, eagerly, searching the glow
ing .dark circles of her eyes for
her answer, watching her Hps us
Ihey parled it little with her gasp
of consternation.
"So soon?" she thought, with re
gret, und wondering how lo reply.
"Why-Jed I"
She could feel in the slighlly
laxed tension of his urms the ful
lering of his hope with her first
words of doubtful bewilderment.
"Don't!" he pleaded. "Ion't say
it yet. I'll wait. I can see you
are all mixed up and groping
around for a balance, yet. I don'l
blmuo you. Poor darling, you've
had u had time of It. Hut that's all
over now," he assured her. 1 1 is
arms were less urgent, but still
held her with a protective tender
ness. "Some dny. when yon gel
mote adjusted, I'll ask you again.
Meanwhile, you get your thoughts
started along that trull and see 11
you don't discover something that
may surprise yon a little," his low
voice spoko whimsically, close lo
her face; and she thought how
chivalrous and gentle be wan .v

age. lie was precious, even If he did
not love him and nrver could.
Wllh his nrdent nearness. It was
a bit difficult lo rrmemher Jnl-k
und (he reiiHou why she never
could love anyone else. Hut they
wero there tu tho background
Jack nnd the reason. For that
brief revelation of life and the pur
pose of It all, must sho sacrifice
everything else? Jed had promis
ed her he would wait until she had
discovered her love for htm. But

how could she possibly do that,
when her heurt had been left far
away with another? She sighed,
with regret and bewilderment.
"Thank you, Jed, for being so
sweet."
"That's something!'' he rejoiced.
"Maybe 1 can be more than that."
"ou are very much more I
can't begin to thank you ever"
"Don't do it now. You see, I
know your thoughts of me are all
mixed tip .with gratitude that 1
don't deserve. Lot's skip it, shall
wo? Prom now on, you just for
get I have dono anything for you
if I have and think about me
just me. Will you?"
"1 can't very well forget you,"
Lynn reminded him with a roguiBh
smile, "seeing you ever day at tho
bunk, und almost every evonlng."
"Oli, that isn't half enough," ho
laughed softly, and pressed his
lips ugainst her face before he re
leased her With sudden determina
tion. . r :
Then he drove on toward; the
city. , ( .... -.
.-'
Tho night wus palpably warm,
and sweet with the fragrance of a
thousand flowers. The stars hung
low, as if covetous of human joy.
The palms whispered to each oth
er the strange story of the lov
ers who sighed with ecstasy be
neath their gesticulating fingers
ami swaying arms.
"To think, I urn home at lust!"
Lynn murmured with contented
rupturo.
"To think if I never hud found
you!" Juck's voice was tense with
the agony of the thought, and his
urms gripped her with the fear of
their loss. "Lynn my durlfng
my wife!"
The silence of the night closed
about them, protectively.
Later, she stirred in his embrace.
"Wasn't it sweet of them to -give
me a wedding In my mother's
homo? Uoti, Aunt Zola every
one has been so wonderful to me!"
"Wonderful you!"
"It's going to be just heaven, liv
ing here."
"With mo?"
"With you!"
They laughed together softly.
"I never should have let you go
away that first time." he regretted.
"1 might have spared you those
wretched mouths."
"I'm so glad now thnt you
didn't," Lynn comforted him. "How
should 1 havo known how precious
happiness is, Imd 1 not learned the
depth of loneliness and despair?
I'm glad. Jack darling glad that I
can know the full sweep of that
glorious ascent (o the heights oi
love and happiness with you."
"My sweet! 1 shall lako -you
higher, then."
The night breathed Its blessing
and the hovering stars winked
with delight. - The moon sunk to
the horizon behind n fringe of aged
cypress trees, and prepared to rife
upon new confinesis.

TRAFFIC SAFETY
gram of high school education la
nighwuy sufety, Eurl Suell, secre
tary of slate, and Charles A., How
ard, superintendent of pubiic in
struction, have just finished the
compilation ' of a highway safety
textuook und tills eek aro dis
tributing Hie Inamiala to the high
schools of tho state. .
A careful study of the many
phases of the accident problem
has convinced tlio spohRors ot this
text that In proper training of
young drivers lies tho ultimate so
lution of. this vital question now
perplexing the entire imtioiu-the
apparent inability to eoutrul prop
erly thoBe death dealing instru
ments known us motor cars.
Tho booklet is . submitted with
tlio following stuteinent from Mr.
Snell and Mr. Howard:
Car Control Lacking ,
"One of tho most striking in
dictments of the American people
Is their inability to control .their
motor enrs. Tho automobile bus '
become un economic und social ne.
cesslty. yet It has also become a
constant menace to life. The
mounting toll of denth und Injury
from carelessness nnd inattention
on the part ot both drivers and pe
destrians constitutes one of our
major national problems. This toil
bus alreudy exceeded that of.-all
our wars. The most discouraging
tiling about it is that It Is increas
ing rathor thrill decreasing. ,
"In the flood of Investigation nnd
research which is centering around
tlio problem of safety on streets
and hlghwnys, ouo important fact
is becoming increasingly appar
ent. The real source of automobile
accident!) Is the conduct of the
driver. Hoads aro being made
safer by widening and straighten
ing, hy the elimination of railroad
crossings and intersection hazards,
and by superior methods of stir
facing; cars are being made safer
by advanced engineering, better
brakes, better tires, safety glass,
stronger bodies, anil a host of
other mechanical innovations. But
the trail of accidents grows longer
and bloodier,
Self-Respect at Stake
"This Is a challengo to all ot us
who sit ut the controls ot auto
mobiles. Clin wo prove our Intelli
gence and self-control by making
our highways snfeways? Can. wo
re-establish our self-respect by.
proper uso .instond of criminal
abuse of our cars? Cnn we cloinou
strnte that tlio cltinens of Oregon
are courteous, careful, and consid
erate of llio rights of others in
stead of lll-miinnered and reckless?
"in the hope of enlisting tlio co
operation ot tile young people o(
Oregon In mooting this challengo
tho secretary of atato and tin
stale department of education have
collaborated in the pt'opiu-atlon ot
this manual and In making it avail
able to the high school students of
the state."
CITES BOBCAT KILLING OF1

CiLIDH, Ore., April 5. Editor
New'b-iteview: juai u few lines to
let you know tne conuition vi am
tnai llio us it la on tne iiorui
uiuptjua river tins yeuf, especially
ha tu ueei.
ll wuiiiU ulmosl niuko a per
son'; UiUud boil lo bee the poor
deer trying to survive, tne ueep
anowg (winch" whs around lorty
inches on tne lower levels at ilia
nee J and tne privileged predator,
tno bo u cat uray lue.ii down with
out tnucn el'lori. , '
The deer in tueir weakened con
dition wero efly prey to these
cats. What are the urtmdinimieU
sportsmen doing uwoul ur iotu
ing. it Is all. fine and dandy for the
cats to kill a deer, cat a couple of
good meais, so ou and drug down
another, and so ou; mil let Lome
poor laiuily with tnreo or lour iit
liu children so niticn us lay minds
oh a deer und. it is $25 to iGU line,
and mayiie a jail sentence ulso.
It is not oniy tne ueer tneso
predators destroy, but ull kinds of
nirds phousants, quull and grouse
(they till iiCiJt on tne ground). Jut
see what effect it ima on tne next
natch when tnese prowlers coino
along and break up u few hundred
ncriiH, each of winch has fioni JU
to li) eirga.
No, Some Ulrd comes along With
a high-powered speech that he
has memorized and gets up before
a misguided audience u:id tells
them we should raise mole birds,
protect the deer Horn starving laiu
ilus and ru forth; bdt he never
mentions anything about getting
rid ol'"nee miserable eitU that
kill on and on. I suy protect what
we already have and the increase
will be all sufficient.
Tho people of i'bitglas county
hud bettor wake tip tunl put at
least a.5l) bounty on cats, which
IS voryi small, but lots of people
would help get rid of them, espe
cially tr the stivte umlclms the
couuty bounly.
Probably the majority of 'people
think the same as a uould-be gen
tleman of the gi'.me commission iu
regard to bounty. Ma suy x you
know these buy trappers and hun
ters will not kill 1 ho "f'.ooe thai
lays the golden e'-i;r." t'our sap!
Me fays, put tn government hun
ters. Yes, so they can poison
dogs, fur bearing animals and
what not.
We found leh deer "killed by
bobcats this winter, nnd about lw,i(
meals is all the cats ever ate off
any nm carcass. ,
p killed nino cats nml six cou
gars thl.Q winter, but tbe rati
wore mor dcstrtictlvp this winter
than the cougars, as the snow was
so deep and soft.- thut the cats
could stay pretty well on top. while
the cougars, being much heavier.
would sink in. Sincerely yours.
