One Is Hie growth of our nation under Hie Constitution of the Culled Stales. The olher is the development of America's pro KI'ckhIvu Industrial system. Without tho Constitution us it V as drafted by our forefathers, Americans today would not have tho freedom of speech and action thai they have found vital (o their happiness; without American in dustry they would not have, those thlUKs which make their lives more comfortable, hen It liter and happier, industry provides American workers with the money and ma terial needs with which to live a fuller life; the Constitution pro tects those possessions.

A dimple showed at the cor. nor of Kathleen's mouth, and she fished a pencil out of the pocket of her apron and inspected it chjsely. "I can make good bean sotip," she remarked irrelevantly. Mob leaned forward eagerly. "So what'.'" he a.sked. "Yes, do coinn lonight and bring Sehmalz. Maybn he could find a rhyme for bone," "Ami if he did of course.

Sunlio one was feeling Ihe of feels of his visit, too. Kathleen tried desperately to think of her verse. Hut it was no use.

But every time I am tempted to run a testimonial letter, I think of one I received last year. I say "I," inasmuch as so often it falls to my lot to open some of the mail. Well, I opened this one. It was the very first letter to reach the of fice after we h'd declared la.st year's bargain rate. Naturally, I was interested in seeing who was first with his remittance. All the office force was..

The new Pacific highway speed way through Rosehurg Is open to travel now, and sure is a fine road. Wide enough for two cars to pass without needing u shoehorn, and with a grade that even my bus can take without gasping for breath. Kr, as near as I could ob serve, most everyone using it was traveling faster than ut a snail's pace. One thing a bit confusing to residents here who have become familiar with tho old route, is the observance of the new stop sig nals made necessary by the change. , f there Is one' tiling more disturbing than another to me, it is to suddenly find a stop sign where I hadn't expected it to be. I think I'll go down and deliber ately Mop nt these vew places un til I learn 'ein.

I call It a war-call, and a.s such Mr. Koosevelt meant It. If you remember the propaganda our allies in the World war Used to get us Into that war, Mr. Koose velt 's Chicago speech must sound very familiar. Why. In those old days. 2" or more years aco. ninety per cent or nmre Americans believed that "America would not escape after 'iermany had whipped the rest of i hurope. Mie could come across the Atlantic and rapture America." Ilecause our beloved allies wirtied us to believe this, they had put out propaganda to that effect and had our nation stirred up to that deyree that the people actually forced the administration to de clare war against (iermany and for the allies. Other propaganda was used also. Hut not by the president whose duly it is to keep our country out of war. Could (iermany. exhausted by a iong continued war with Ihe "al lies'' (even if they hud been vic torious i have come across the ocean nod whipped a country figbt inc at home? A country that hut never been defeated, fresh from long ears of pence, if she hadn't entered the World war to fishl lr other countries, who have had only jibes and insults for us, and refusals to pav vast sums of war debts since America won the war; for them. j W ho believes now that (iermany i could have "whipped America?" j Vet our president, in his Chi c:mo speech, usrd almost the ex- j ... ......I- !.. 1 ,1 I,.

M should attend to them instead of making speeches intended to Mud us Into war. Weren't Americans sufficiently stirred up before this Chicago speech against Japan ana for communUtic China? A coun try with five times the population of Japan, hence in little danger, one would think. Let China fight her own battles assisted hy her communistic sister, ItiiBsia. What difference, too. can It make to a democratic America whether Spain's dictator is a com munist or a nazl For cruelty and self-worship they are six of one and half a dozen of the other. It ftnems that American pcoplo are very easily swayed. Kasily propagandized. Seems to mo that they the American people would bo insulted by the president's words: "Let no one imagine that America will escape," and the rust of his tirade. And we have forgotten that Kneland .and Franco and Itussia owe us that Immense war debt money that America could use. So easily do we forget. E. J. PAGE. U. OF 0. PRESIDENCY NOT 80UGHT BY MEN NAMED Editor News-Review: Your head ing in Monday night's News-Re view, reading "V. of O. Prexy Post Sought by Five Men." gives an en tirely wrong impression, ami in justice to the men named should be. corrected. None or the tlvu men has sought the posl'.ion of presi dent of U. of O. For many weeks the university and officers of the state system have been studying the universities of the United States to find, if possible, the iniin best qualified by scholarship, ex perience, administrative ability and personality to head the University of Oregon. A large number of names have been suggested by ed ucators and the educational foun dations. The list has simmered down to the five distinguished men named, not one of whom has been a candidate for the position. The position is seeking the man, not the man the position. Several of those named are admirably quali fied, and a decision will probably not be long delayed. CIIARLKS A. HRANl) 2 HUNTERS KILLED, ONE IN HIS AUTO GLKNWOOf) SIMtlNOS, Colo., Oct. 12. (AP) Two (leer hunters were shot to death in the western Colorado mountain country today, one under bizarre circumstances, as Coloindo's big game hunting season opened. Frank Whit heck of Carbondale was found dead in his automobile two miles north nf Redstone, a bul let wound In his head, his hand on the emergency brake. Officers theorized, he was struck by a stray bullet while driving on the (Jlen wood Springs-Redstone highway and as he died, instinc tively reached for tho brako lever.
