PASSIVE RESISTANCE IS BEST, JIMMY MONTAGUE FINDS "Hard-Boiled" Speeches All Laid Out in Mind, but When Occasion Arises Speaker Finds He Is Saying Soft and Pretty Things. r.--:--rK -V V BT JAMES J. MONTAGUE. I AM tired," I said- sharply, and distinctly, -of being a Passive Register. All it got Ghandi was tea years in jail. That's all it gets anybody. Hereafter I am go ing to speak my mind, let the re sults be what they may I spent a delightful evening map ping out the course I had planned. Hereafter I would take no back talk from the janitor; when I wanted more heat I would back -it up by the statement that I intended to have- it. If the cook was late with the din ner as she always Is she would hear from me. . It might surprise and anger her, but she would have to stand there and take it. I began to wonder why I had put up with late dinners and scorched baked potatoes anyway, when by opposing them I might have ended them long ago. Then there was that dreary neigh bor who used to call twice a week and stay till midnight, telling us how many miles he had made on one set of tires last year, and proving by statistics ' that his car could travel a thousand miles on an amount of gasoline that carried more expensive cars only ninehun dred and sixty-four and - three tenths. I would tell him plainly that when I came home from work I liked, to read aand didn't want to have to sit around and listen to the dull talk of witless neighbors. And I would tell him in a way he would not forget. Supposing he did stop coming to the house? Wasn't that just exactly what I wanted him to do? ' . Perhaps the happiest time I had that night was put In thinking what I meant to say to the traffic police man down on the corner. He always watches for me, and when he sees, by the expression on my face, that I am in a hurry he holds up his hand and keeps It up till all the cars on my street are bankedl three blocks deep. And, if by any chance, my brakes slip and I go half an inch too far he walks over, orders me to the curb and after saying all the sar castic things to me that he has heard other policemen with better mental equipments say to their vic tims, advises me to get somebody to teach me to drive. I made up my mind that I would have something to say to this fel low, even if it did get me a sum mons and maybe a hundred dollar fine. I had little sleep that night from inventing the speeches that in my new independence I was going to deliver. And I was all eagerness in the morning to set about'the new and untrammelled life I was to lead. . The Plan In Practice. , Everything was favorable for my plans. There was no heat what ever in the apartment when I arose. The water was stone cold In the hot water tap. Before I summoned the janitor I ran over the speech I had prepared for him, eo that there might be no hitches about its de livery: "Look here," it ran, "I don't know how you ever got into this country, for you're not only a mental defec tive but an undesirable alien, and the law forbids the admission of both. But now you're here, you've got to do a little work at least every other week. I don't expect you to keep this apartment warm. You wouldn't know how to do that. But when I come home tonight and I find that the temperature isn't at least four degrees above freezing, you and" I are going to have an other talk, and you won t enjoy it." The janitor kcame up scowling, when I summoned turn. I said to him: "Don't you think '. we might have a little more heat this morn- ary 11. The session will be held at the clubhouse and the customary lunch will be served. Mrs. Frank McCrillis Is chairman and Mrs. W. H. Siegner is secretary of this depart ment. The Portland Woman's New Thought club will meet at the home of Mrs. H. Cleveland, 55 East Twenty-fourth street north, Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. All inter ested are Invited to attend. Sunday school children of the Tab ernacle Baptist church gave their Christmas offering of .$15 to the Woman's Christian Temperance Union farm home. . Trinity Woman's guild will hold its' regular business meeting Wed nesday at 2:30 o'clock at the parish, house. Officers, for the new year will be elected and all members are urged to be present. 'Give Service" Is Slogan of Campfire Girls. Oneida Group of Camas, Wash Aids Needy nt Christmas. rTTHE second point of the Campfire A girls' law, "give service," has been the slogan of all groups this last few weeks. The Oneida group of Camas, Wash., not only sent in their quota of the Christmas cats for the general distribution that Campfire made, but packed a boun tiful Christmas basket for a needy family in their own town. In addi tion, the girls made 300 candy baga- for the community tree. Recently this group gave a very successful theater party, making a goodly sum for their group treasury. At their last regular meeting, Mrs, C.- F. Stevey, guardian, awarded prizes to the three girls who sold the largest number of tickets for the party. To Minnie Cunningham, who sold the largest number of tickets, was given the beautiful Wohelo membership pin and a box of Campfire girls' sta tionery. To the other two girl3, Helen Duncan and Mildred Dungan, were given the Wohelo pin. A Campfire ceremonial was given, Mi ' 7'. '7 XN jum. ing, and perhaps -a little warmer water for the bathroom?" I was a little disappointed in the speech as 1 delivered it. It wasn't quite what I meant to say. How ever, I proposed to do better with the cook, who was still slumbering peacefully when I went shivering in to get my breakfast. As I heard -her stirring in her room I rehearsed what I had planned to say to her. It was: "If you were in your own country this morning, you'd have milked ten cows by thi9 time, and be now hitched to one of them plowing a half-frozen hillside. But, because you're over here, you think you can live like a moving picture actress and have the nerve to demand about half as much as one of them gets in pay. Bo, don't say a word in your defense. This has happened once too often. Get your belongings and get out!" When the cook came in to lay the cloth I said: 'Please make It a little snappy, Tecla. - I have an appointment which necessitates my getting down to the office a little earlier than usual." That speech didn't exactly seem to suit me, either. But then I re membered that the cook was after all a woman, and it would hardly be chivalrous to talk roughly to her. I would make it up when -the bore came In that night. He came, of course. He always came when I was tired or had to work or expected friends. I had plenty of time during the evening to round out and perfect the Insults I had prepared for him. I meant to say, the instant he rose to depart: "Nobody but a dull, utterly sel fish dolt would waste another man's evening as you have wasted mine. I don't care how cheap you run that car of yours. It is a rotten car, and I'd be ashamed to be seen in one. The only things you've said tonight you've said so often that I know 'em all by heart. ,1 could be bored just as much by one of your calls if you didn't come at all, pro vided I was mean enough to myself to recall all the stupid things you have to say. Supposing after this you stay at home, at least five nights a week, and allow me a couple of evenings to myself and my family?" When he rose to go I said: "Had a bully visit with you, old chap. Come again when you can spare the time." 'J If it hadn't been in my own house, I might have made the talk I in tended to. But when I reflected that this man was a guest, well. It would have been a bit rough to bawl him out tlsjit way, wouldn't it Back In the Old Role. The traffic cop stopped me the next morning to let a flivver go by, and motioned me roughly to drive over to the curb. I was ready for him. I had been thinking about the piece he was to hear on the way down. This was it: "Because you've got a blue coat and a few brass buttons on it, and a club in your pocket you think you're President Harding or some body. But you aren't. You are just a common cop, the servant, not the master, of th citizens of this town! You are aided in your bullying be cause you have the ugly face of a criminal, but it doesn't scare me. Go back to your corner now and try to protect lite instead of ragging law-abiding citizens, and you won't have to be an underpaid hand waver all your life, out in all weathers and with no prospect ahead of you but death from pneu monia!" What I said was: "My fault, officer; .the brake slipped! Hard to make 'em bite these wet mornings!" It was no use. I am going to be a Passive Resister right along now. (Copyright.. 19Z!, by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) I under the direction of Mrs. Elizabeth Jennings White, executive, on De cember 22, before the members of the Woman s club.
