Thia l a fundamental principle ut demo cratic government. IT is a sad coincidence that two men, long leaders In business and community affairs, were tak en to their last resting pluccs this week. Yesterday we men tioned the passing of Gene Par rott. This afternoon 13. V. Strong, former merchant, bank er, and civic leader was hurled. Mil B. W. Strong lived in Iloseburg 50 years. He was well known and universally liked in every section of our great coun ty. The diversity of his interests encompassed by his long career here caused him to become ac quainted with more people, to have more friends, than is the fortune ot most men. B. W. Strong will be greatly missed. We note with sadness also Hie passing of good old Dick Can non, the dean of all old-time fid dlers. This column is not meant to be devoted to obituaries however much we would be pleased to pay a last tribute of a few words to each of those who arc called as the days roll by. Time and space does not permit it. We live In a busy world. Nor should anyone complain, for we humans have made our world the way It is. We hustle and bustle and do this and do that and rush madly, often at reckless speeds. The news of the world Is the news, of what happens today. There Is little or no time for reflection upon what has happened before. There Is only a brief ause to honor the memory of those who have dropped from our midst. Our job, as producers ot the News-Review, is to chronicle what takes place today, leaving for historians a discussion and a calm description of what took place yesterday. Today a memorable event pass ed into history. A president of the United States was formally Inducted Into office. It is the first time in the history of our country that one man has been accorded tills honor three times. The event was duly recorded In the newspapers and was broad cast by the hundreds of radio stations, but having quickly ab sorbed the shock -either of vic tory or defeat depending upon the Individual preference- soon after election day, the inaugura tion ceremony actually rated only passing attention by people generally. Democracy, true government hy the people, can "lake it." We do not rail out firing squads or remove heads here In America when n change in government lakes place. We arc accustomed to the principle of rule by the majority of free votes, and we are content to abide by any deci sion arrived at In that way. ITiosc of us who disapprove of some of the policies of the ad ministration will, on the other hand, do everything possible to aid in their being carried out once they are duly made Into law. That Is being demonstrat ed every day, and lias been dem onstrated over and over again throughout our history. That Is the spirit of America and that is why we shall remain free and proud -at least so long as we love and appreciate freedom anil the right to choose our own government.' Missing Seminary Girl Pupil Sought TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 20. (AP) Spurred on by the girl's father, city and state officers con tinued searching today for Carol Falk, 15-year-old pupil missing from exclusive Annie Wright seminary here since Saturday. Dr. Ralph Falk, prominent Boise, Idaho, physician, arrived here yesterday after flying from his home when informed of his daughter's absence from school. Miss Falk, described by a school mate as five feet, six Inches tall, weighing 150 pounds, was missed from the seminary at 1:30 p. m. Saturday. Neither teachers nor other pupils saw her leave. "I think," Dr. Falk said, "that she's at the age now where most girls want to go out and earn their own living, so I think that s what she has done." Asked if Carol had previously expressed such a desire, he replied, "yes, she has." KRNR Mutual areadcuitlng Sytttm 1500 Kilocycle!

RIC, U. 9. 3 Freed in "I Am" Case; No Accord On Remaining Six LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21. (API --Three of nine defendants In the "I am" trial were acquit ted of mall fraud charges yes terday. A federal Jury declared itself unable to reach a verdict in the case of six other defendants, in cluding Mrs. Edna Ballard, wi dow of the founder of the move ment, and her son, Donald. Acquitted were Charles Sinde lar, portrait painter, his wife and Frank von Derhoya, formerly of Dallas. ' ' , Defendants on whom no verdict was reached, In addition to Mrs. Ballard and her son, were Louis Majerus and Paul Stickell of Chicago; William J. Cassiere, former Louisiana publisher known in the movement as "Brother Bill," an itinerant teacher; and Betty Mundy, for merly of Miami. Fla. That the six will be tried again was Indicated by Federal Judge Leon R. Yankwich when he said the case would be re-set in the term calendar beginning Feb. 3. Court observers said, however, that the government could move for a dismissal. The defendants were indicted on 17 counts of mail fraud and one of conspiracy. Prosecuting attorneys contended the move ment's leaders had conducted u $3,000,0002 "racket" by preying upon the faith ot their follow-v-rs. Testimony and arguments In the six-week trial were con cluded last Thursday. Newcomer Influx Shown By Driver Applications A large influx or newcomers in to the stale ot Oregon is evidenc ed by the great number of appli cations lor automobile drivers' licenses, according to Ward Mc Reynolds, examiner from the state motor vehicle department, Mr. Mt'Ileynolds visits Iloseburg each Tuesday to receive applica tions for licenses and reports that examlnalions each week av erage about 35. By far the great er number of applicants, he slates, are from people who have moved into Douglas county from other slates. The same con dition, he reports, prevails In other southern -Oregon localities where he operates. Aside from the newcomers applying for li cense, Hie license applications are made chiefly by young persons reaching I he age which permits them to operate motor vehicles.

(API The supreme court held yesterday that passage of the 1940 federal law requiring regis tration of aliens invalidated a 1939 Pennsylvania alien registra tion statute. Justice Black delivered the opinion, which upheld justice de partment contentions that the re gulation of alien registration "is exclusively the concern of the federal government. Justice Stone wrote a dissent Ing opinion In which Chief Jus tice Hughes and Justice McRey- nolds concurred. Justice Black said that "the power to restrict, limit, regulate, and register aliens as a distinct group is not an equal and con tinuously existing concurrent power of state and nation, but 'whatever power a state may have is subordinate to supreme national law." Justice Stone, in his dissent in goplnion, asserted;- "Assuming, as the court holds, that congress could constitution ally set up an exclusive regis tration system for aliens, I think it has not done so and that it is not the province of the courts to do that which congress has fail ed to do."

SERIAL STORY CONSCRIPTS WIFE BY BETTY WALLACE YESTERDAY: Martha evades Paul, makes preparations to visit Bill. Paul suddenly turns up at the apartment, apparently in tending to go along. When Mar tha finally tells him she doesn't want him to go, he asks what is wrong. She has been avoiding him. He had promised Bill to look after her: She finally tells him that before Bill left there were three of them CHAPTER X PAUL ANSWERS QUESTIONS Paul Elliott stared down at Martha, speechlessly, as the echo of her words hung in the stillness. "The three of us," she had cried. And the implications of those words were suddenly filling the room suddenly so plain, so clear, so hurting that she wanted to run away from him. She could not bear the look in his eyes, the way a muscle in his lean cheek was twitching. He fumbled in his Jacket pock et for his pipe, at last. He tamp ed tobacco down into the bowl with a blunt forefinger, taking an awfully long time about it. And still the silence shrieked be tween them. He fumbled in the pocket again for matches. Very deliber atelyas if ho wanted time to pass, as if he needed time to re cover from this blow Paul scratched a match, and sucked on the pipe-steam, lighting the tobacco. The flame lit up his face in a fleeting orange glow. The grave dark eyes, the straight nose, the firm controlled mouth were etched clearly, like a picture on a screen, Hashing and then dim mlng. Oh, I didn't want to hurt him," Martha thought in dismay. He's so fine, so worthwhile. Maybe I'm destroying something I'll never find again. I hurt him once, when I married Bill. He forgave that." She thought of the clean, unselfish friendship the strong arm, always ready to help her and she experienced a sinking sense of loss. I didn t mean to say that, Paul," she cried quickly. "I I didn't mean it the way it sounds." Sit down, Martha," Paul said gently. "Sit down here and let's talk this over." "But but there's nothing to talk over." Again the panic and the uncertainty as if her feet were scf on a bit of earth that kept sliding out from under her. The whole thing's silly, really. 1 didn't mean to put it that way" Her fingers smoothed the maroon housecoat, nlaved with the ornaments on the zip per pull, Paul pushed her gently down on the sofa. He sat beside her. Martha, we must be honest with each other. Since this i tnln6 nas come up since we've j aireaay siartca discussing it , I let's drag It out into the light and examine it. "You have been avoiding me. Definitely. I couldn't understand why. What you Just told me makes it very clear. It's because Bill is not here." Almost, his voice was like the voice of the Paul who sat in the private office at Air Transport, discussing with the chief en gineer the stresses, strains, and examining the evidence to ex plain the crumpling of a wing in the wind tunnel. "You said 'the three of us.' Meaning, now that, there are Just two, you and 1" - he smiled, but his eyes were n't ssmiling -"Thc situatio.i has changed. Either you haven't ever really wanted me about, since you and Bill were mar ried . . ." She gasped. "Paul! That's not sri! I don't sec how you can think that." "Then, Martha, your remark must mean that you that you're afraid of me. Or of how our be ing together with Bill away looks. It doesn't look proper, Is that it?" She stirred uncomfortably. "No, that's not it." "I don't believe you, Martha. Once there was a time when I would have sworn that gossip lOther people's incorrect opinions meant nothing to you. But now, especially after what Su zanne was foolish enough lo gel excited about " Martha's little start, the un guarded gasp that escaped her, was enough to betray the fact that Suzanne had had a finger in tills, too. Paul said, sadly, "So she came to you, too." "She she only wanted to warn me," Martha said miser ably. "She knew there v.as nothing In II, but -" The mem ory of her neignnors whiscrs, the remark that even the clean ing woman had made, burned in her mind. "She was right, Paul. Besides, It wasn't fair to her, that when you t-took her out I should always ho there, like a -like a fifth wheel" "Suzanne Is Intensely emotion al. She has an imagination that sees a roaring blao where other lxople see not even a wisp of smoke." saltl Paul, vliooslug Ills COPYRIGHT, l4l. NEA SERVICE, INC. words very carefully. "I'm fond of Suzanne, sorry that she she spoiled things." No words came to Martha. She could only sit there, picking- at that foolish little zipper orna ment. "You'll break it," Paul said. And now he was in absolute con trol of himself. He stood up. "Look here, Martha. Let's be honest to the very end of the thing. We used to be engaged. I I thought I was in love with you, and you thought you were in love with mc, and it's that knowledge which makes our friendship now look queer while your husband's away." Martha's lips parted. A great tight band seemed to be closing around her chest. It hurt to breathe. Paul said quietly, "But people are wrong. I'm not in love with you now. You re only my ocsi friends wife, and I want to make his absence less difficult." Yet, even as the words left his lips, Martha saw that tell taie muscle, twitching there in the hollow of his lean cheek. "I'm not in love with you now." How steady his voice was! How rigid the control with which he rein ed himself! Only, as his fingers curled into fists; as his teeth clamped down on the pipestem in his mouth; as Martha stared at him, her heart beating fast Paul's eyes were giving him away. Tnose clear eyes, looking down into hers, were shining with a look she remembered too well. Steady eyes, gentle eyes, eyes that could not smile even when he forced his lips to smile. Eyes that could not lie, even while his lip; lied. His love for her, unchanged since the day he first slipped their betrothal ring on her fing er, shone in Paul's eyes and Mar tha turned her head away, a poignant pity sobbing Inside her. "I was silly, Paul," she whis pered. "Suzanne was silly.' Of course of -course you're not in love with me!" She broke away from him and said, more norm ally, "And now I've simply got to dress and get started. It's late." He took his car keys and put them on the table. "You must take my car, Martha. A hun dred miles is too far that that wheezing wreck of yours." He picked up his hat. "The car's downstairs. Have a' good time. Tell Bill I said hello." w An hour later, as she got be hind the wheel of Paul's new car, Martha was glad he had insisted. The hum of quiet power, when she started the motor, was reas suring. "And please, Butch," she told the dog, 'stay on the news papers 1 ve spread on tne scat. ml docsn t want your nair an over his car." It was a long drive. Plenty of time to think, in a way, it was better they'd had it out. Paul would go on pretending, but with this scene vivid in their minds, Paul would not insist so strenu ously on seeing her every night. She wouldn't have to stall him ol f so much. Gradually, they'd see less and less of each other. This way was easier, less hurting, than the abrupt ending she had tried to achieve. A swift gray bus came up be hind her. Her toe on the acceler ator pressed down a Dit harder. "Martha." she admonished her self, "keep your mind on your driving if you expect Bill to see you all in one piece." Tomorrow morning, earl y, she'd be seeing her husband. Feeling his lips on hers, hearing the gladness In his voice. "Tomorrow morning, I'll be where I belong. With Bill!" (To be continued I Threatened Steel Strike Halted by C.I.O. President PITTSBURGH, Jan. 20. -(AP) Emphasizing the defense em ergency, CIO President Philip Murray quickly halted a strike that threatened to stop produc tion at Carnegie-Illinois Steel corporation's Irvln works and told steel workers who ivcre hack on their jobs today, that "grievances must be settled by orderly processes."

S. department of agriculture's plan is extended to Douglas county the latter part of January, will be handled on a mail order basis ac cording to official announcement. All families receiving public as sistance will be eligible to pur chase food stamps by mail after they have been declared eliginje by Darlow Johnson, county wel fare administrator. Records al ready in the welfare department office permit making up the list of eligibles without requiring per sonal interview. Upon completion of the list or eligibles," advised Mr. Johnson, detailed information will oe sent each family. How the plan operates, what needs to be done to buy food stamps by mall all this will be carefully explained." How Plan Operates. Purpose of the plan is to move overabundant crops into the homes of under-consuming fami lies. For every dollar's worth of orange colored food stamps, good for any and all foods for human consumption, stamp plan partici pants receive fifty cents free of blue surplus food stamps. The blue stamps are good only to pur chase those foods which are de signated as "in surplus" by the secretary of agriculture. Stamps are used in tne same manner as cash at any food store which wishes to accept stamps. Such stores must be approved by the surplus marketing administra tion which redeems the stamps for payment to the retailer by the U. S. treasury. It is found that most retailers turn their stamp cards over to wholesalers as payments on account. The inauguration of the food stamp plan eliminates direct dis tribution of surplus commodities through welfare department trucks and depots. On the surplus food list at the present time are. butter, eggs, raisins, rice, pork lard, pork (to include all pork which is not cook ed or packed in glass or metal containers), corn meal,"i;dr'ied prunes, hominy (corh)-grlts, dry edible beans; wheat flour and whole wheat (graham) flour, Irish potatoes, fresh oranges, fresh apples, fresh pears, fresh grapefruit, fresh cabbage and onions (except green onions). Mrs. Marion L. Lucas Passes at Marshfield Marion R. Lucas, mother of George Lucas of Roseburg, died at the hospital in Marshfield yes terday after a long illness. Fu neral services will be held in Marshfield Wednesday morning, followed by interment and grave, side services at the Roseburg Ma sonic cemetery in the afternoon. Besides her son, Mrs. Lucas is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Dale (Betty) Webster and Fran, ces Lucas, both of Marshfield. She was a daughter-in-law of Mrs. Paul Blaskey. of this city. Quadruplets Die Few Hours Following Birth MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., Jan. 21. (AP) Quadruplets were born yesterday to Mrs. Eva Swanson, 35 years old, 98-pound mother, but all the infants died within six and a half hours aft er they were brought into the world hy caesarian section. Dr. R. A. Gilmore, the attend ing physician, reported that Mrs. Swanson was in good condition. DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in baskets ot silver. What power there is in words. Unfitly spoken they may destroy a reputation, break a heart, destroy a friend ship. Vulgar, coarse words may destroy the sacrcdness of love. Words carelessly spok en may change the course of another's life. Starting him dow n toward a degraded char acter. But again what power there is in words, fitly spoken they bring harmony in human relationships, replace despair with hope, mitigate sorrow, inspire to noble Ideals and dis sipate loneliness. These kind of words are as beautiful and as valuable as the most pre cious metals. They are like fruit of gold in baskets of sil ver. In the mind of God Chris tian words would go with Christian character. Any other combination would he illogical and unnatural. Words of cour tesy and kindness should dis tinguish the siccch of follow ers of Christ. "Men flying kites, haul in their white winged birds. You can't do that way when you're flying words. Careful with fire is good advice, wo know. Care ful with words is ten times doubly so. Thoughts unexpress ed may sometimes fall back dead, but God himself can't kill mem once they re said. Amen.
