John 8:, 32. ; JUSTICE Officers of the law searched lor some trace of the Lindbergh baby and its kidnapers, It is now several days since the finding of the brutally mur dered; child. And 'still it is the subject uppermost' in th minds of the nation. It is difficult to realize how have conceived and executed no normal person could deliberately batter out the life of ai innocent and defenseless babe. greed alone could twist a human being into such a brute. Gangsters, and bootleggers commit crimes like this, since, they are known to have no respect for life or law. But it was a severe shock to learn that a respected citizen, John Hughes Curtis, the Virginia boat builder, took heartless advantage of the Lindbergh's sotrow by leading officers into a blind alley and hindering the-machinery of the law. ..''.:.

It wants only justicp and protection. And surely its individual members are en titled to every defense against fiends who steal into homes at night, snatch babes from their beds, and slay them in cold blood. As long as the kidnapers are outside the hwi, no home may be considered safe, no mother may feci seeing. r ; SPEED IN THE When this modern age of high-speed automobiles and craft smiles patronizingly at the "horse and buggy nineties!' it forgets that the locomotives of 40 years ago established speed records which still stand. ! . The express train, which in England recently ran 105 ' miles inN100 minutes, broke no records with its average speed of 63 miles ah hour. A little thumbing of the record books classes it as merely a good run. : It was in the days from 1890 to 1905 that the men in the cab made the world sit up and gasp. And most of the laurels were won on this side of the Atlantic. A New York Central train in 1893 averaged 112.5 miles an hour. Eleven years later a Philadelphia and 115.2 miles an hour. The Plant shot a train over five miles minutes, setting a 120-mile mark that still stands. For long-distance speed records there was a Pennsylvania run in 1895 of 58.8 miles at an average speed of 76.5 miles pei-hour and another Pennsy run of 133 miles at an aver age speed of 75.84 miles an hour. A Lehigh train in 1897 maintained a speed of 80 miles an hour, for 43 miles, and in' 1897 a Burlington averaged 98.7 miles an hour for 15 miles. The Great Western line in England covered 118 miles in 84 minutes' in 1901. Railroad progress in the past twenty years has been mostly in the direction of safety and dependability rather than speed. In the early days train service was highly irregular, and accidents were all too frequent. Today late trains are the exception, and fatal accidents are extremely rare in spite of the thousands of miles travelled and the thousands of passengers carried every day. An airplane is the safest place to be in case of an earth quake. ; BORAH WARNS .

Butter Market Showing Heavy Volume In 1932 PORTLAND, May 18 () Portland has received moro butter and has handled a greater volume In the year to date than for the same period In wau 'mere has been a very liberal increase In the receipts from outside points and a smau decrease is noted In home churning. The increase In the arrivals has been more than suf ficient to make up for the decrease in the P6rtland manufacture. Trade In the butter market feels the effects of the late reaction In the south which finally carried off the previous advance here. Receipts of eggs continue verv lib eral all through the local territory and trade wants are being-taken care of without change In the general price list. Unattached growers are still maintaining the lower, point. itatner good demand is snowing in the market for live chickens and es pecially so for tho cheaper-priced sorts. There Is no change in the gen eral price list. Most of the supplies are from Washington. Demand- for country killed calves is well maintained here, likewise the price. Hogs are steady to a trifle easier in spots,. Lamb market' is showing a weaker undertcno for any; mine not tiptop. . : owing to the dirty appearance and poor quality in local strawberry ar rivals to date from the Home sector, prices are showing a very wide spread and trading is anything but satisfac tory to nil concerned. There was little, if any, material change in the California strawberry market here for the day. Most re tailers purchase them in preference to the locals although the prices osk- ea are oeiow those demanded for home grown. New white potatoes from the Shaft- er, Cal., section, aro in very liberal of- iering and prices are responding with iurtncr downward swing. Slight concessions also being made for new Garnets.

To the Editor: ' ' Primary election Is near at hand. and it Is a regrettable fact that bo many of us are prone to vote for some candidate for a minor reason or personal prejudice against his ODDon- ents, or In some way lose our vote rather than vote for our second choice who has a strong chance of being nominated and elected. A case. In point Is the candldacv of Robert Stanfleld for senator. It la generally conceded that he has no chance whatever to be nominated, and that therefore all those who vote for him ,aro virtually throwing away their senatorial vote, since the com test is undoubtedly between Senator Steiwer and Clark. It is logical to believe that no friends of Stanfleld would for a minute consider support ing Clark,, but unless they vote for Steiwer the vote may be so divided as to nominate- Clark, tho very man whom they most oppose. It Is -also a poor time to 'swap horses,' when Senator Steiwer has prpven himself such a capable and' hardworking representative for Ore gon, and 'has attained such an en viable position of power and prestige In the senate that any newcomer would have to work for years to equal it; no matter how strong a per sonality 'he might bo. Steiwer has worked consistently and persistently for everything that would benefit the peoplo of Oregon and the nation everything that could be done by any senator for the benefit of every branch of industry and business in the state, from the farmers and labor ing classes to such matters as Irriga tion and major power projects. It would be-, merely an apprecia tion :of his Bplpndld efforts .to re elect ,him, for . he certainly has earned It if any man has..

A number of the farmers In this community are harrowing their wheat tnis weeK, many oi tne weeds which have started up this spring are still quite small and some feel that manv oi tnem can. oe jciucd by har rowing now.

It Js reported, that a few men will probably start cutting logs at that point during ,the next week or two. The reports Indicate that only very limited operations In log ging will be done by the company and It is also understood that only a good grade of pine timber will be logged out for sawing at. the local mill during the summer. A good many men in. this com munity report that they are unable to find any work -to speak of yet this season. , Apparently ,.pub.Xew of the farmers are 'doing much hiring this spring and but with little work in the woods contemplated by operators during, the 'coming summer many; do not consider summer prospects verv encouraging. ! -A number of- small "shipments 'of baby chicks have arrived here during tho past week.

Little of the garden truck which is easily damaged by frosts Is up, however,.' although many of the fruit trees at various farms in the community have been blossoming out rapidly during the past week and many are concerned regarding the probable damage which may have been done to tho fruit.
