It was reported 4 orchardt simply would extract the 3 ullet which Dora Kaplan lodged In 3 enin's shoulder, but calling our treat brain operator for such a eim- I ie task smacked of the customs of I ie czar and not of Lenin's sim- - licity.

All be &: lieved in him, respected and loved him, even the opponents of his new policy. , Lenin From Nobility. t 'LI Vladimir Ilyitch Ulianoff, -called Lenine in political and literary life, was one of the old-time Russian no- bility and the heart and brain of the greatest revolution of all history. J : The time is not now to speak of his work and character. What's im- portant now is what comes after fi.im. Nobody can replace, him., Marx' doctrine of economic determination, Z blocking personality, falls down - here and -shows what one man's leadership is worth in stormy times. " Trotzky. with his steel will and abundant inteilisrence. was th or tt- ganizer of the red army, Menshevik before the war was disputatious, obstinate and capricious and some- times has been accused of inclining o- to tne grand dukes standard of liv T. tag. Litvlnoff, Krassin, Simenoff, and Radek are not of the highest ... type 01 Kussian. All lack the hun dredth part of Lenine's art of ruling. 'Z. I Achievements Are Noted. '' The latter alone could dare give peasants 95 per cent of the so-called nationalized property; abandon com- munism's outward signs; reopen money circulation for private trade) banks and stock exchanges; seize church treasures, even convoke the . resisting priests, including the hon pred Patriarch Tychon, before a revolutionary tribunal. He alone ; Could be forgiven before radicals for - granting concessions to the foreign promeers, exploiters of the prole tarlat, who must be humiliated and enslaved," as the revolutionary pro t; gramme provided and he alone can - have achieved a transition to real democracy with a coalition govern- - rneni Almost everybody believed that what Lenine thought necessary was Indeed necessary. The peasants, . workingmen, e-en those whom he bitterly assailed, affectionately called him "Ilyitch" and this pet name showed how they loved him. Z Chaos Expected to Follow. Whenever tired working in his shabby coat amidst the Kremlin's ancient splendor, he rested among tne tnree honest cathedrals, un - der Czar Ivan's sanctified bell tower where Ilyitch might have be- T come in reality what the people's imagination made him God of all. the Russian L'zar of the new dv nasty. The Romanoffs themselves once belonged to the small arlstoc- " racy and the half mystical Czar -Rurik the First came from Viking m lands. But Lenine. unlike Napoleon, had - no desire for eucn a fame, so the "world, before sighing relief at his J death, should pause, for after him Is chaos unless the earth's wisest powers prevent it by careful man ' agement of the Russian minds and . customs. There will be separate dis i similar governments, ciyil wars, . dictatorships of more than one peasant prophet, complete devasta- Hon of the vast territory where to day 25,000,000 are dying and 80. " 000,000 are destitute and returning " to cannibalism. However, so long as his death is kept secret bolshev- ism remains, but it cannot survive Lenine, as everything falls with him. Europe Held In Danger. All Genoa's -cunning incongruous - Rapalla treaty ajid The Hague con Z ference become old lumber, scrap Iron and waste paper. Never in - modern time has a single Individ- ual death entailed such dangers. -They are not only for Europe, for it is a question whether Japan won't take advantage of Russia's chaos and Europe, -which has staked all on Eussias -reconstruction, could not survive such days without shaking- to her foundations. This blood red sun suddenly dis closes new tasks for our continent and woe betide if wa do not de cide quickly to drop " all national strife and hasten active reconcilia tion. Can America, dare she, in her own interest, wait to see whether Eu rope will realize her peril in time? KINDERGARTEN AT BEACH Innovation Arranged for Summer Visitors at Seaside.

MISSISSIPPI STIRRED UP Woman Also Candidate in State Which Voted Against Amend-' ment on Snf f rage- BY FREDERICK SULLENS, Editor of the Jackson (Miss.) News. (Cipyrigrht. 1922, by The Oregonian.J JACKSON. Miss,. June1 10.(Spe- clal.) Woodrow Wion is Just about the only issue democrats' have been able to stir up in the senatorial campaign which has been projected in Mississippi by voluntary retire ment of John Sharp Williams. John Sharp is just naturally tired of the United States senate and says he wants to spend his remaining days in peace and" quiet., away from the toil and trouble of politics. Senator Williams' retirement has brought to the fore once more ex Senator Vardaman, and the latter's candidacy for the nomination1 i sur rounded by all of his vitriolic hate of tba eot-oresidert. Herbert Ste phens of New Albany, candidate -of the conservative " faction, tor ten years a member of congress from the second district and acknowl edged champion of that section of Mississippi democracy which has al ways followed the leadersiup oi John Sham Williams, has taken up the cudgels for Woodrow Wilson and is making an active, canvass in de fense of his policies... , ,. Mr. Vardaman IIL Mr.5 Vardaman so far has been unable to take the stump, although the primaries are less than 60 days away. It -has-1 been ttirilcuit to as certain the facts concerning Varda man's illness. His friends declare that his sole handicap is his new set of false teeth, which make articula tion difficult. Several months ago, on the advice of physicians, he had all of his teeth pulled, and since has been unable to Jjave . satisfactory plates made. The ex-senator also is said to be suffering from high blood pressure. Additional Interest is lent to the campaign by the candidacy of Miss Belle Kearney, the first woman in the south to contest a nomination for the United States senate. Miss Kearney is waging an active cam paign and is attracting fair-sized crowds to all of her meetings. She makes a very favorable Impression. That she will make an excellent showing In the first primary is con ceded by friend and foe alike. V Defeat Is Predicted. Veteran political observers, hqw ever, say the time is not yet ripe for Mississippi to send a woman to the senate. As a matter of fact, this state failed to ratify the Susan B. Anthony amendment to the; federal constitution, and that was substan tial evidence that suffrage for wom en is none too popular here. The women themselves do not seem to be taking an active part in politics, for less than 25 per cent of the qualified women voters registered. When Mr. Vardaman was defeated in 1918 by Pat Harrison it will be recalled that Woodrow . Wilson ad dressed a letter to the democrats of Mississippi declaring that no man who had been untrue to the princi ples of the party should be honored with office, and citing the instances wherein Senator " Vardaman had failed to support 'the party, espe cially on important war measures. Letter Helps Opponents. The Wilson letter contributed in a very large measure to Vardaman's defeat, and since that time, through his weekly newspaper, published In Jackson, he has never lost an op portunity to vigorously lambast the ex-president. Mr. Wilson has, up to this time, been silent coacerning Vardaman's present ambition to run for the sen ate, but it is freely rumored that history wilt repeat itself before the campaign closes and that another Wilson letter will be forthcoming, similar in tenor to that which cre ated such a furor in Missouri when Mr. Wilson paid his respects to Sen ator Reed, who, by the way, is one of Vardaman's closest friends. .

Hubert Stephens is a staunch Wil son supporter. Two very interesting documents have been - issued, by his campaign bureau. One bears the simple caption, "Hate," and is a com pilation of Vardaman's most - vit riolic utterances concerning Wood row Wilson. The second pamphlet bears the question mark on its cover preceded by tho.worda, "democrat or republican?" and ouoted from Var- da man's own speeches andi writing in criticism of the democratic party and in praise of various republican leaders. Both pamphlets are pub lished without explanation or com ment. Mr. Vardaman's chief champion of the stump is Major Luther M Burch. a Jackson attorney. Although a flu ent speaker and a man of attractive personality. Major Buroh has made but little headway in stirring up the masses as Vardaman was wont to do In his palmy days. VICE-PRESIDENT LAUDED Woodrow Wilson Democrats Like League of Nations Talk. NEW YORK, June 10. The Wood row. Wilson democrats lauded Vice President Coolidge as the "first mem ber of the present administration to have had the courage and fair ness to speak of the existence of the league of nations in an unpreju diced way," in a telegram sent him Friday. "Congratulations," said the mes sage, "on your reference to the league of nations, in your speech of June 7, where you are quoted as saying, 'There is the league of na tions, which, whether successful or not, whatever imperfections may be contained . within its terms, is at least an attempted .expression of a noble aspiration for world associa tion and understanding.'

Blaze Yet Obtained, Though Three Theories Are Held. , PRINEVILLE, Or., June 10. (Spe cial.) With one new building going up, plans approved for two more on which construction will start within a week, with funds obtained for the rebuilding of the hotel and with a dozen more buildings under contem plation and virtually assured within the next few months, Prineville is well on its way toward the con struction of a larger and better city upon the ashes of the one burned to the ground. Mrs. C E. McDowell returned Wednesday night from Portland with, assurance of funds for the re building of the Prineville hotel and it is confidently expected to have construction under way within 30 days. George Nicholi has purchased from j. H. Templeton the building where the Prineville drug store has been conducted since 1887. The present structure was built in 1906.

He is negotiating for another lot on which to construct a second build ing for the Michell Grocery company and Lakin Hardware company. Mrs. Mona Shipp will remodel the concrete building which was gutted by the fire and will have it ready for the occupancy of the 3. A. Stein & Son clothing firm within the next 30 days. . The Rogers Timber company will occupy offices on the second floor and the other office rooms will be taken within a few days. . The city council has delegated to Fire Chief McFarland and Fire Cap tain Holmes, the task of reporting on buildings which are a menace to the better construction which is to be erected here. The re'port is ready and will be made at a special meet ing of the council as soon as the In surance adjuster has finished his in spection of the ruins. J. N. Wil liamson, postmaster, opened his safe this week and found all stamps, re ports, money orders and other rec ords intact.' Harvey Cyrus did not fare so well His large safe in which he kept his jewelry and precious stones was sprung in the fire and many valu able settings were damaged, while imitation' pearls, Japanese pearls and other manufactured stones were ruined. Ne Definite Clew to Fire. No definite clew to the cause of the fire has yet been found. Three ten able theories have been advanced. The mayor and many others, includ ing the owner of the building where the fire started, hold that the fire was Incendiary. Several of the nre men believe that it was started from cigarette stubs carelessly thrown away earlier in the night by miners who had made the bunding a ren dezvous for smoking parties, not tolerated on the streets. Bootlesgers Are, Suspected. , Still a third group insist that bootleggers and moonshiners had taken advantage of the building be ing unoccupied and had used it as The opening on Monday morning, 'June 12, of anew C.H.

(Spe- claL) A petition to declare Happy Canyon pavilion a nuisance, the building In which the annual night show of the Round Up is staged, presented to the council two months ago, and asking that the structure be removed to another part of the ciy, was refused. The council point ed out that the structure was to be rebuilt within the property lines. and there would be police and nre protection " provided . by ' the man agement the year round. While indorsing the wild west town which entertains the immense crowds at night during the Round up week, certain property owners contended that the building .was a fire menace and that it was a ren dezvous for gamblers and other law violators during the year when it was not used. The police patrol to be furnished is expected by the city council to eliminate complaint. Teachers' Salaries Not Cut. PENDLETON, Or., June 10. (Spe cial.) Salaries for school teachers in Umatilla county will be practl cally the same for the coming year as they have been in the year of 1S21-ZZ, according to county super intendent Green. In a few- cases where high-grade teachers have re signed it has been possible to get new teachers for slightly less money and in about the same number of instances, teachers have received advances. The efficient, trained teachers have had their salaries maintained at the same figure. 270 MORRISON ST. Between Third and Fourth DETROIT HOME OF HOWARD CKYTZER .

Sev enty gallons of mash were de stroyed, but only one gallon of fin ished product was discovered, the moonhiner evidently having a con stant market for his beverage.

"If you must be particular, yes," answered the deputy. En route Crytzer complained bit terly concerning his arrest. One of the constructive features in the scrapping of the battleships of the navy is the conversion of the Kearsarge into a 250-mile floating crane, says Popular Mechanics magazine When the transforma tion is completed, the crane will bear very little resemblance to the former fighting unit.
