THE QUESTION
' Thp Portland Journal of Sunday showed evidences, on its
eclitoriil page, of attemptitipf to back-track from the maze into
which several newspapers of that eit', and some others through
out the stated have been led on account of the setting up of the
doctrine that "A man's house is his castle," in a high society
booze gjuzzling fest case in Portland. The Portland Journal in
its Sunday issue had the following editorial article:
r When is a Castle!
("Does the doctrine that 'a man's house is his
e;istle' bar enforcement officers from entering
h )mes when they know there-is booze inside!' a cor
wspondent asks.
' Certainly not. A house is not 'a castle' for
t shelter' of any kind of law violation. There is no
place where crime of any kind can be committed
-
arid be free from entrance by officers.
! rlf enforcement officers know, or have probable
cause to believe, that the law is being violated in
- - a house they can, on a showing "and affidavit, secure
a search warrant and enter any house.
; i j' To claim that a 'house is a castle' to the extent
of jsheltering law-breakers from arrest would be ab
surd. In j the recent controversy on the subject
r in this state nothing of that kind was claimed.
- The criticisms arose over the fact that enforcement
officers swore out search warrants and invaded
t premises regardless of whether or not the occu
pants were law-abiding or lawless, or whether
theire was or was not liquor on the premises.
1 There is law for governing officials as well as
citizens. There is not much reason for difference
- ! of jyiew on what the law is. A 'house' is not a
'castle' 4n which law may be violated with impun
M ity;j vA. fhouseV is a 'castle' which officers, may
. . enter only in the lawful way, and the lawful way
has been very definitely pointed out by the courts.
v f 'f A crime is a. crime '"wherever committed, and
thejplaco where committed is subject to search,
and should be searched, by officials."
;- .-iris-: .:.
' The Portland Journal is clear enough in the above on the
main issue which was raised by misquotations and misinterpre
tation! of an address t Governor Pierce, in which he held just
what the Pbrtland Journal holds in its Sunday article
That 8 noose is nbt a castle in which to commit or harbor
crime., :.
' It goes as a matfer of course that prohibition enforcement
officers mutt not swear out search warrants and invade prem
ises regardless of whether or not the occupants are'law abiding
or lawless, or whether there is or is not liquor on the premises -
t But this all looks like an attempt to make fish of one and
fl$v of another. x
, , Reverting. to the doctrine that "A man's house is his
castle," what is a house f It is a structure intended or used as a
human habitation.'. In the 'last analysis, it is where a man re
sides; still moreparticularly, where he sleeps. It is not neces
sarily a castlewith a raoat and a drawbridge; nor even a man
siorii It may be a bungalow. It may be a building of logs. It
may be a shed Jean-to, or a cave or'hollow log or boat or dry
goods box, ori a tub. It may "be a room in a house. For census
purposes, "a man may be in his house, or castle, or place of resi
dence, in a jail, IThe world has confined a host of good men in
jaiL' It used Jo put in jail most of its men with ideas of ideals
above the common herd.
The doctrine that a man's house is his castle is good doc
trine.J It is peculiar! to Occidental peoples, as opposed to the
general open sesame in their homes of Oriental peoples; with
some-notable exceptions as to the latter .. fu
"Andbc doctrine appeals to the Anglo-Saxon sense of good
sportsmanship and fair play; to the idea that men and women
and children in their; own homes are kings and queenis ' and
princes and princesses; entitled to the, privacy and comforts
provided, there without the right, of any one unbidden .to in
trude, iio. matter. how humble the home may be; no matter
Whether it 'is owned or rented 1:
Bui there s nothing in all this that confers, upon any one,
iti palace or hojrel; the right to'usc this doctrine of the sanctity
and the sanctuary'of his home for committing crimes
And there lis ia healthy and growing sentiment in Oregon
whioh holds that the rich and powerful ought to be held to the
same strict account as the. poor and weak. ; iv ;
The conclusion of the whole matter is this: There are a
few people in Portland who believe their wealth right to place
them above the; law and when they are crossed in this notion
they are prone to demand 6f the newspapers whose columns they
in ne way or another control that they basely, play the role
of cuttlefish and foul the clear waters of. public oninion
i That Is what is happening. It is pitiable. The whole story
would be a naty one... It would better be left nntold. But
x f.ortland newspapers. and
theame pack ought to have
ring off on this
heaven.

NO MORE WAR
: We find on our desk this morn
tng, leit ny some Kin a mend, a
clipping from some paper saying
there la going to be another-war
right away. The clipping says:
"We hop so! Better war than
false peace." We do not known
what paper this is from, but it is
a foolish firebrand. Certainly, we
have had enough war. Certainly,
the I'nitecl States has spent
enough money in the last ten years
to satisfy the moat exacting, to
say nothing of the men we lost
and to say nothing of the fact
that we took two years out of the
lives of four million young men.
No, there will be no more war.
We will try to straighten out
Europe.
In some way we musi enter
Europe, and we must have an alle
viating influence on European af
fairs. Europe cannot right itself.
For five years it has tried, and
not a single nation has got on its
feet. Substantial old England has
come the nearest, but it is groan
ing over the tremendous price it
paid for the war. France has not
even paid the interest of its public
debt, and all the other nations
are still floundering. It is a des
perate situation.
CLEAX UP
Spring is the time to clean up.
We hope Salem people will do this
to their yards, but just now we
are edging at the government
house cleaning to turn every ras
cal out, and to punish the men
who have betrayed the people. A
quickened public conscience will
be satisfied with nothing less, and
the administration must do its
own house cleaning. Tt cannot af
ford to let the Democrats unearth
these things.
When the last administration
ended, the Republicans talked
much about Democratic corrup
tion, and there was one hundred
times as much then as now, but
the Democrats escaped. Now these
same Democrats are swelling up
like poisoned pups and are making
mountains out of every mole hill
and demanding that the rascals be
turned out.
Certainly, the rascals will be
turned out, but President Cool
idge and his advisors must turn
them out, and not let it go to the
people for final disposition.
GIVING THE XEWS
Last Saturday night 4here was
a scandal which broke in high
society circles in Atlanta, Georgia.
For some reason, not a single At
lanta newspaper carried the scan
dal. -This might -have been all
right except for the fact that all
the outside papers carried it.
It is a poor policy to ask a
newspaper to suppress real news;
it is never suppressed. Nothing
was gained by humiliating the At
lanta papers by showing that they
were intimidated. The news was
all the more picked up by the out
side papers. .The best cure for all
such things is publicity.
GET HIM
Charles Forbes has been expos
ed as the monumental grafter of
the decade. In the war everybody
was doing It;- but since the war,
we are told that we would have
publicity focused on the adminis
Istration and the grafting would
stop. However, it seems that For
bes did it.
What makes it worse is that
Forbes grafted, in the sacred name
of the dead soldiers. Any sort
of clemency extended this man
will mean a reflection on the ad
ministration, and it ought to.
President Coolidge may have an
unpleasant job, but he has his
duty to perform, and must not
shirk it, no matter who is hurt
or who is slain.
DEXBY SHOULD GO
Secretary Denby is not crimin
ally responsible. for the Teapot
dome scandal, but his stupidity is
so tremendous that he has no busi
ness staying in the cabinet. He
is taking the old ground that he
will not retire under fire. That
is the ground of the average poli
tician always, and there is noth
ing to it. Practically all politi
cians retire under fire. There is
not one in a thousand who re
tires In any other way.
Our idea is that Denby should
retire because he has shown him
self such avchump in the Teapot
dome affalri'V
A SLOGAN
A friend phoned us a proposed
slogan Saturday: "The Capital
City. .Drive slow and ee our
beautiful city, or drive fast and
see our jail." .We argued with the
man, but he was obdurate. The
slogan Is not a good one. It would
be if the last paragraph was off.
A beautiful invitation is spoiled
by an ugly threat, and it would
be a pity to do this. A very
nice slogan would be: "The Cap
ital City. Drive slowly and see our
beautiful city."
" '
' A PLVCKY CITY
; It,wouldtJbe Iraposslbj to keep
iirom aamirmg. ma spirit of As
toria. Adversity after adversity
has been heaped upon it, the same
as upon Job of old; but Astoria
has kept its faith, as Job did. Job
lived one hundred and forty years
after his affliction and reared
seven sons and three daughters,
all of whom were an honor to him.
His lauds and flocks were dou
bled. Astoria is not going to give up;
it is going to stay strong in the
faith until its population is doubled.
REGRETTABLE
The lower house of congress has
defeated the efforts to put tax
free securities on the tax roll. One
thing sure, it this injustice is con
tinued, congress must pass a law
that there be no more tax free se
curities. It must be there is
something to this obligation en
tered into at war times, but cer
tainly it is not proper to continue
this practice, which is helping the
rich and punishing the poor.
The Corvallis Gazette - Times
takes exception to The Oregon
Statesman's protest against the
State Chamber of Commerce cam
paigning to change the state laws.
The protest is pertinent, notwith
standing. It is not a part of the
duties of a state chamber to cam
paign for or against any law.

She drew herself up superbly,
and swept out of the door without

Lillian and I looked at each ether,

"Katie is distinctly herself

to be a battle royal in the kitchen

that time Katie will have things
in full swing."
"Did you see my sister-in-law?"
I asked, perfectly willing to delay
entrance Into the house.
Lillian Ha a Hunch.
"Is she a large, placid lady, who
looks as if she'd been set to jell,
and the process had been
thoroughly successful?" .
"You've described her exactly,"
I laughed. -
"Then she's In the big living
room, reading. Pardon me for
presuming to criticise, your 'in

"Criticising relativesrin-law is a
legalized sport,": 1 returned.
"And I don't often do it, as you
know, but a woman like, that al
ways gives me j an insistent
pulse to pTod-her with a hatpin
just to see if she'd jump."
"Go as far as you like," I said.
"But, seriously, Lillian, I ought to
be in the house." t
"But, seriously, Madge," she
mimicked, "you shall be there in
another minute after I've spoken
my little piece,"
I seated myself in the nearest
chair, and ' folded my hands in
mock resignation. I was so tired
and nervous that I had t'o strike a
note of foolery. It was either that
or tears.
"Very well, Madame Chair
man," I said meekly.
Lillian looked, at me keenly.
"Don't you dare to let yourself
down until after that stunt to
night," she' said, with a note of
sharpness which she seldom uses.
By it I judged the importance to
her of the expedition we were to
share with Katie.
I straightened jn my chair, and
snapped my hand , to my forehead
in a military salute. J
"I won't." I promised serious
ly, and her face and voice relaxed.
"I'm probably .as crazy as a
loon," she said, "but I've got one
of my hunches about this affair of
Katie's, and it's like finding
money in the road to have a
chance to listen to the perform
ance tonight, unseen and unheard,
But if Dicky knows about tt he
certainly will spill the beans, for
hell take th high-and-mighty
masculine attitude that there's
danger for us, that we must have
Jim and himself with us."
"Just the Thing!"
"Not Jim, under any circum
stances!" I said hastily, with a
quick flashing back of my mem
ory to the things Katie had asked
me to recall.
If Lillian had any curiosity as to
my meaning she didn't betray it.
. "I can manage Jim," she said
confidently, "and , keep him from
saying anything to Dicky. , But
Dicky simply must not know we're
going, for he never tould keep his
temper and lie quietly by if v.-hal
1 suspect about this business is the
truth. Now how to kep bira
away "
She cupped her chin in her
hands, but this time I ruthlessly
interrupted her planning.
"You forget Mother Graham,"
I said quietly.
She sprang to her feet, drew me
to mine, and gave me an approv
ing pat on my shoulder.
"Bless her melodramatic old
soul!" she said. "Of course! Just
the thing! If Mother Graham gels
properly excited over the thing,
she'll keep Dicky away if she has
to tie him to the bedstead in his
room. Do you want to tackle her,
or shall I-"
CHAPTER 98
THE WELCOME-MADGE "FOUND
IN HER LIVING-ROOM.
At Lillian's query as to which
of us should enlist Mother Gra
ham's aid in keeping Dicky out
of the way of our nocturnal ex
cursion with Katie, I threw out
my hands with a gesture that con
fided to her my august mother-in-law,
body and soul.
"You, by all means!" I said em
phatically. "You know that by
the time Mother Graham . gets
through stirring hp things to make
room for us tonight, she'll be fit
to be tied. And she'll hold me
directly responsible. I feel it in
my bones. I couldn't impress her
with even the idea, of foiling a
plot to blow up the Panama canal.
If you can get her attention and
divert her mind from me you'll
not only be accomplishing your
own purpose, but saving my . life
and reason."
"There's a soupcon of sense in
your ravings," Lillian retorted
maliciously. "All rightf I'll tackle
her, as well as Jim. Katie said
we'd start out at ten . o'clock,
didn't she? We'd better he ready
at half after nine, to be on the
safe side. Wear that long, dark
cloak of yours the one that cov
er you completely - and tie a
dark veil around your head. We
want to be able to merge with the
landscape whenever we wish to.
And, my dear, if that marvellous
memory of yours needs any five
finger exercises or whatever you
give it to keep it flexible, be sure
to practice your trills tonight be
fore we go."
"I'd Oil Every Joint."
' "I couldn't help an inquiring
glance at her.
"Yes," she said, answering my
look with a smile. "I sure need to
have that memory of yours in
working order tonight. I want
you to memorize every syllable

FOUR. LETTERS ON THE MAP.
As Valentine's Day approached, the Jigedies became ab
sorbed in the question of hearts. The brightest little Jig in
the family had an inspiration, and putting a map under the
ouija board, he asked planchette the question:, "To who shall
I give my heart?" Take a pencil and draw lines on the map
in the order that "ouija" traveled over them.

face so expressive of something
out-of-the-ordinary in hand, that
again there swept through me an
apprehensive little thrill as to the
outcome ot this secret night ex
cursion which Lillian appeared to
consider so momentous. But it
was no part of mine to quail or
to question, and I answered her
promptly, even merrily.
"I'M oil every joint," I promis
ed, "and there shall be no creak
ing." "I know tb&t," she, said warm
ly. "And now, let's essay an en
trance into the" castle. Do you
suppose Mother Graham will
throw us into, the moat?"
She drew me toward the door
as she spoke, and I closed it after
us before 1 answered in the same
tone. !
"I can feel myself dangling
from the yard-arm this minute."
But when we entered the house
! Mother Graham was nowhere to
foe seen, and I gasped in dismay
at the picture my. living-room pre
sented. An antique sofa, which I
highly prized, was overturned in
the middle of the floor, and
sprawled at full length on the
floor beside it was a thin, angular
little girl, who would be a beauty
some day, but whose sole claim
to pulchritude now lay in a pair
of big brown eyes set in a sallow
face with an elfin expression. She
was clinging to one leg of the sofa,
and screaming at the top of her
voice.
"Save me! . Save me! I'jn
drowning!"
A Gleam of Wrath.
Perched 'upon the sofa were
three boys, two larger and one
smaller than the girl. The two
older boys were casting supposed
life-ropes into the imaginary sea
surrounding their sofa ship, and
in the make-up of the ropes I was
sure .1 recognized my best guest
towels knotted out of all shape.
The goungest boy was staring at
his sister with a frightened face.
which changed into wild terror,
when the small girl, evidently car
ried away with her own histron
ic 'ability, began to moan realis
tically: "I I can't hold out any longer.
Don't try any more. Good-by.
Tell mother I loved her. Ah-h-h!"
She let her hand slip from the
Je& of the sofa, slumped. face down
ward upon"tne rug, and the -small
boy. set up such a shriek of terror
that Mr. mother, reading by the
window, and who either had not
seen us at the door or had pre
tended ignorance of our arrival,
looked up, rose from her -chair,
and. crossed to the sofa. Not a
ripple of annoyance crossed her
placid face as she lifted the small
boy from his perch and bore him
back to her chair.
'Everything is all right, Rod
erick." she said in the even, sug
ary voice, which by a libel upon
intelligent teachers is often dub
bed "school-ma'amy."
The little boy clung to her, sob
bing and shaking, but she did not
soothe or pet him in the way the
child sorely needed. Instead, sne
held him firmly away from her,
where she could look Into his face

yourself to be calm."
Mary, at this encouragement,
felt It incumbent upon her to at
tempt another bit of realism, and
she began to gurgle and choke and
kick as if the waves were indeed
passing over her head.
Roderick gave another piercing
scream, and whatever calming of
the storm my sister-in-law meant
to demonstrate was thwarted by
the appearance of Mother Graham
in the doorway beside Lillian and
me.
And there was a gleam ot wrath
iff Mother Graham's eye, which I
saw with glee was not for me.

it v3u were to visit a factory
In New York where valentines are
mailt hv the millions, you "would.
no doubt, have the same feeling
the little boy of the fairy story
did when he tried to eat the house
of candy you would see valen
tines on trees and blowing out ot
chimneys until you would begin
to think the whole world had
turned to hearts and paper, lace
and verses.
In a valentine factory large
sheets' containing docens of com
plete picture greetings are, print-j
ed in one piece In the same way a,
newspaper press turns out a new
sheet. Cutting machines re used
to separate the valentines, and if
they are io he in book form, they
go on to folding machines'., all in
less time than it takes .to tell.
Cards that are to have scalloped
edges go through scalloping ma-;
chines, or perhaps to machines
that, glue embossed flowers in
place. -
At the paper lace machine ypu
would be fascinated In watching
the little engine that draws In
one end a long paper ribbon and
turns out at the other a. reel of
fragile paper decoration that will
be used to give a dainty, lacy ap
pearance to thousands . of . more
expensive valentines. t Some kinds
are so elaborate that they must
have their satin and ribbon parts
pasted together by .band. In ona
room of a valentine factory sit
hundreds of women making this
kind, each worker producing her
own particular piece . to comblna
with that made by tha next per
son. -
In addition to the actual manu
facturing of the cards, there Is a
designing department whero the
pictures are first planned - and
sketched, and a copy department,
where the verses are written, - to
say nothing of mailing divisions','
so that altogether a .valentine fac
tory is an enormous affair.

RECIPE TO CLEAR
II
Pimples Are Impurities - Seeking ."'
an Outlet Through Skin- -Pores
MV
IN
Pimples, sores and boils usuallj " ;
result from toxins, poisons an
impurities which are generated It
the bowels and then absorbed inti '
the blood through the very duett :
which should absorb only nourish- - j
ment to sustain the body, . . ' 11
It is the function of the kidneys
to filter impurities from the blood'
and cast them out in the form of s
urine, but in many instances thej
bowels create more toxins and im-j v
purities than the kidneys t can! V
eliminate; then the blood uses the
skin pores as the next best means '
of getting rid of these impurities,.5
which often break out alt over
the skin in the form of Dlmsles. " i
The surest way to clear . the
skin of these eruptions, says a not
ed authority, is to get from any
pharmacy about -four ounces, of '
Jad Salts and take a tablespoon
fool in a glass of water each morn-
ins before breakfast for one week.'-
This will help prevent the forma- :
tion ot toxins in, the bowels. v It .
also stimulates the kidneys, thus -coaxing
them to filter the blood ot "
impurities and clearing the skin f
of pimples. ' IS
Jad Salts is Inexpensive, and is 1 u
made from the acid of grapes and'; .
lemon 1n!o
