THE SHORT STORY, JR.
CHOOSING A MOTHER
At last Mary had 'made up her
mind she wonld-itan away. She
could stand it no longer. That
very morntng her mother had
punished her' by-sending her to
bed. Mary considered herself far
too grown-up to be sent to .bed.
When a girl Is as old as Mary she
shouldn't be treated like a baby.
Mary was seven.

SALEM, OREGON
work will be done; it must be done, for all the pledges being
taken now are contingent upon the whole sum being corav
pleted.
That will be a great thing for Salem, the city that was
founded with this school, and has grown with this; school
throughout all its years. ;
The 3tudents of the institution, many of them working
their way through school, and the majority of them poor in
purse, are raising a $25,000 section of the endowment fund.
If all other prospects should be realized upon in propor
tion to the ability of the givers, the stroke of midnight of
December 20th will see the $1,250,000 fund very largely oversubscribed.
SOMEBODY MUST PAY
There U one cogent argument
against cancelling European debts
to the United States. They can't
be canceled; . they can only be
transferred. Loans to foreign
countries were made out of funds
derived from sale of Liberty bonds
in this country. If Europe docs
not pay back the money she ob
tained from the proceeds of these
bonds it must be raised by fed
eral taxes imposed upon Ameri
cans. DREADXAUGHTS OF THE AIR
Frenchmen naturally are hail
ing with delight the ' successful
tests made at Villaoublay of their
new giant armored airplanes.
' Britishers, just as naturally,
are viewing the same experiments
with Intense interest. One sky
dreadnaught threatens to be more
deadly than a flock of "Zeps."
There Is already talk of a closer
renewal of the entente cordiale.
Army and navy men in the
United States are following the
reoprts on this new sinew of war
with the closest attention. They
may have a vital bearing on the
armaments of th future.
For, beyond a doubt? France
has added a formidable weapon to
the national arsenal. For the first
time heavy artillery has acquired
wings.
This superplane carries a "IX,"
and 200 shells, is made of gun
steel and hardened aluminum, the
wings and planes are Impervious
to machine-gun bullets. It has a
radio and new scientific devices
for aiming the gun and can fly at
the rate of 125 miles an hour.
By acquiring a fleet of these
flying dreadnaughts France ex
pects to make herself undisputed
mistress of the air. Unless the
nations start a new competition
In airplane construction there
seems, little doubt but she will
get her wish.

dinner; party, so she would run
away that afternoon. She had de
cided that the best way would be
td go out and look for a new
mother. She would go over to
the park and sit on a bench and
watch the women go past, Just as
soon as a beautiful, kind lady
came along, Mary would ask her
is she didn't want a little girl. Of
course she would say "yes." and
would take her home to live In a
wonderful house.
As soon as her mother left for
the dinner party, Mary put on her
best dress and stole out the back
door, for she didn't want any of
the neighbors to see her. .
She hurried down the street to
the park, where "she rat on a
bench near the entrance and
waited for her new .mother to
come along.
The first woman to pass was a
slovenly person dragging a dirty
child in each hand. Mary shud
dered when she thought of having
her for a mother. Then an ugly
fat little woman passed carrying
a little poodle dog. Mary would
have liked the dog, but she didn't
want the mother. One after an
other they, passed, but there wa
something wrong with every one
of them. She began to be dis
couraged. It was getting dark,
but she could see quite plain
through the air at 100 miles an
hour, armed with a "75" firing
thirty shots a minute. Is a foe
man to command respect. With
a whole fleet -of them at her dis
posal France wouldn't need any
channel tunnel to do away with
England's sea defenses. Nor could
England any longer urge her a
defense as a reason for opposing
the boring of the tunnel.
In fact, these dreadnaughts of
the air may make a lot of other
problems look different.
22 NATIONS TAKING PART
The following is a dispatch with
a Portland. Oregon, date line of
Tuesday of this week:
"Opposition to the 1927 Oregon
exposition based on the opinion
that the nations of Europe cannot
be counted on for participation
and that it therefore cannot be
made a successful world'? fair,
received a stiff Jolt yesterday
when word was received at ex
position headquarters from the
Brazilian delegation in Washing
ton, D. C, that 22 nations are
now participating in the world's
fair in Braril.
"The information waa obtained
by the office of Congressman Mc
Arthur from the consulate In
Washington and shows that of the
22 foreign nations represented at
the exposition 13 are European
nations which have Veen' men
tioned as too 'sick to take any In
terest in expositions. The Oregon
exposition commission says the
situation In Braiil sets -it rest the
fear expressed about the success
of the Oregon exposition
"The nations taking part In
Brazil are: Great Britain, France.
Italy,- Spain, Portugal, Japan,
Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Hol
land, Belgium, Cuba, Canada, Po
land, Roumahia, Uraguay, Czecho

States.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
"The present trend of education
seems to be to make these three
subjects the home, agriculture,
and Industry the basis of
universal, democratic education."

enough to know that she didn't
want any of them tor her mother;
It got darker and darker and
Mary was getting cold. "I guess I
can't be so particulr," she sighed.
Just then through the dark cam
the very mother she was looking
for. She was tall and beautiful,
and by the way she walked Mary
just knew she was kind and good.
Her heart skipped a beat. She
jumped down and pulled at the
'ady's sleeve.
"Pardon me," she began.
The lady turned, "Why, hon
ey, she cried, "did you come to
o?eet mother? You must never
come so far after dark again.
What would mother do if some
thing should happen to her little
girl?"
Mother held her tight in her
arms and Mary decided she would
r.ot look for a new mother any
more that night.

"He who steals my purse steals
trash. Tis mine, 'tis his, and has
beenvslave to thousands. But he
who filches from me my good
name, robs me of that which not
enriches him, but makes me poor
indeed." '
Thus spoke the bard of Avon
in the long ago, and no utterence
since the morning stars first sang
their sweet night lullabies to
gether has been more pregnant
with truth; a truth that chal
lenges recognition and respect
from every normal, thinking and
fair-minded person of accountable
age.- Another pregnant truth,
taught in an, old book lying dusty
on some of our shelves (too many
alas) i3 that the fellow who is
ever seeing moats in his brother's
eye carries a beam across his own
retina. This old book truth seems
to teach as If we are willing to
be guided by It that if we
guide our thoughts in the proper
chanel, it will require about all
our spare time to correct our own
optical delusions.
"My good name!" The bard
knew Its worth. What is there on
earth to compare in value? Im
agine if you can a good name
destroyed. A character assassi
nated friends deceived by false
accusations have deserted, he
stands alone and forsaken. De-
indents of former days jibe and
jeer as they pass him by. Oh,
what a tragedy! And oh, what a
terrible . responsibility rests on
the man who in any way contrib
uted to his brother's downfall!
And yet, some there be among
us who would "drag angels
down" in this campaign If they
failed to agree or belonged to the
other party. These thoughts sug
gest themselves to me time and
again, as I read over, day after
day, the vitrollc attacks of the
Portland Telegram, one of Port
land's leading newspapers, on the
life and character of Mr. Pierce,
Democratic candidate for gover
nor. And anyone guilty of sup
porting the public school meas
ure how before the people to be
settled at the polls next Tuesday.
The writer is an old man. Time
and experience have had-much to
do, perhaps, in softening the pol
itical asperites of more than a
half , century In the ranks of the
Republican party. I have voted
its ticket consistently for more
than fifty years. ' Not that I
thought my Democratic brother
unqualified, ' dishonest, or unpat
riotic; hut because I thought our
party policies more progressive
and better adapted to the wants
of our people and government.
Most of this time I have been, and
am now, a member of a Protest
ant chnrch. Not that I thought
my Catholic brother carried In
concealment cloven feet, forked
horns and other regalia of the
"Prince of Sulphur", but be
cause I thought the faith of our
Fathers -(not of Rome's) best
idapted) to our wants and more
'n accord with the Divine will.
Now why are we not big enough
'n this campaign to resr.ect our
opponents honest convictions
and throw the mantle of charity
over those who fail to see clearly
as we do? Why not? Vitupera
tlon, and abuse act like a .boomer
ang. it "gets you nowhere but
back." It's primary campaign
against Hof f seems to have lost
it's lesson on the Telegram. It's
editor will sometime find out
that most people have some of
the Missouri boy's spirit. "Yon
got ter quit kickin' my deg
around." He will serve his cause
much better since his vial of
wrath is full to the bursting point,
to stop outside in front of his of
fice and crack it on the curbing
to let Us vtrolic contents glide
down the gutter to it's natural
outlet. A great newspaper makes
a mighty poor sewer. Cther
newspapers on both sides may be
as dictatorial as the Telegram. I
am subscriber only to the Tele
gram and Statesman. I commend
very heartily the dignified course
fhe Statesman has pursued in
this campaign; but as a life-long
Republican I as heartily condemn
unfair methods and attack".. n
any party, at any time by any
body -or any papers. '

FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER a. lvzz
EDITORIALS
OF THE
PEOPLE
Ia For Pftrce
Editor Statesman:
I notice that the chairman of
the Republican state committee is
calling loudly upon the .Republi
cans not to desert their principles
at the coming election, but stand
loyally for Ben Olcott for gover
nor. The same cry is also being con
tinuously uttered by the soft mild
tenor voice of the Salem Walter.
Now I would like to ask Mr.
Editor, what real obligation rests
upon the Republicans to support
Ben W. Olcott? It is a notorious
fact that he was nominated by"
Democrats who changed their pol
itical registration in order to vote
for him at the May primaries.
Even the editor of the Democratic
Capital Journal admits that he
was guilty of this trick. What sort
of a Republican is Ben Olcott any.
how? He does not deny that he
participated in the Republican
primaries which resulted In the
nomination of Hon. Jay Bower
man, but becoming disgruntled at
the result. Immediately hired an
office in the U. S. National Bank
building and did his utmost to
secure the election of Oswald
West. Governor West as a reward
for his treachery, subsequently ap
pointed him upon the death of
Hon. F. W., Benson, secretary of
state. This started him upon his
political career a direct result of
bolting, repuliating the regular
Republican nominee for governor.
Why should Olcott complain now
if. he should receive a dose of his
cwn medicine? The publio rec
ords show that Olcott personally
contributed .the sum of $1550.00
to secure the election of Oswald
West. The Oregonian in answer
to inquiry some years ago stated
that up to January 1, 1917 Olcott
had drawn $25,687.00 in "salary
from the state. An easy calcula
tion will establish the fact that
from the time he assumed office,
April 17, 1911 up to January 1,
1923, he will have drawn from
the state of Oregon the huge emo
luments of over $57,000.00.
Has he been worth it? I have
been a Republican voter for 35
years and so far have a clear rec
ord. I have voted it "straight." I
sin tempted however this year to
break my record and vote for
Walter M. Pierce.
