We have heard a great, deal here in Oregon of late against
the pardoning and the paroling powers, and one of the Port
land newspapers has appeared to demand that there shall be
no pardoning and no paroling of prisoners- j . r
That the sentence of a judge in Oregon, once pronounced,
shall, like the laws of the Medes and the Persians, change not.
But fortunately our Constitution putc Oregon upon high
er ground. The men who paid the foundations of this state
were far seeing, even beyond the average of the men of their
time. ! Under our fundamental law, if a trial! judge believes
that a parole from the bench will serve the lends of justice
and at the same time give promise of the reformation of the
one under; sentence, it is hi? sworn duty to grint suchparole.
ne may De misiaKen. uuij wno is not oiten mistaken!
j Observing this same constitutional provision, the Oregon
Legislature at the session 1911 provided a progressive! pa
role law, with a parole board, which law has! been amended
at subsequent sessions ana as it now stands provides for in
determinate sentences in a limited way, and which system,
with the full cooperation of all judges, gives Oregon a very
good system compared witrjt other states-
Not a perfect law ; bulf there will never bje. a perfect hu
man law, or one perfectly administered. Under this law, it
is the duty of the parole board to act, with judgment, and' for
the Governor to cooperate with it. Mistakes be made! Of
course i they will. But the writer believes the law is being
well administered, without abuses, imofjhat the whole system
is being improved, by general cooperation.' j '".H .;
, The pardoning power must rest sonwhere. It is unthink
able in modern days that lit should not fe exercised at all.

And, lastly, the common scold and pessimist is referred
to the words of the Assyrian tablet, unearthed a few weeks
ago, quoted above. They might have been writtejilyesterday.

newspaper which has been so disturbed about; present con

) It is unfortuniate that in much of the so-called thrift
work through the press and in the schools, encouragement
has been given -only to the saving of money. The saving of
money is only the beginning of thrift. To save, only, does jiot

CHAPTER 431
PRESENT DAlj ALMS
h An exchange is authority for the statement that the
church was. once the almoher of the world but now business
is the chief financial contributor to benevolent agencies. Modj
ern methods of dealing with social benevolent problems are
employed j through civic and commercial organizations very
generally! is the observation. The community chest is an exi
pression of commercial and financial activities extended to the
solution of problems of social misfortune and lack of thrift!
, I Contributions are sought generally but with the expecta!
tion that business and civic social organizations, Will lead in
responsiveness. The purpose and means are! both commend
able, the result usually gratifying, and the iiervice renderec
t)f immeasureable benefit.! ! K. i .-. " V:-! -r:':;
- The church counted above as a secondary factor in the
great work of benevolenc is still a power, in fact the funda
mental teaching of the church is charity.-" line 'complements
of charity are faith and jhope. The great Exemplar of all
men in the dispensation of new courage, increased faith and
renewed hope is the Christ himself, j Without the stimulation
of this new" courage, faith and hope, the down-and-out, the
unfortunate and the hopeless are but temporarily benefited
by the receipt of alms. There is no other human agency so
efficient in the work of reconstructing the salvage of broken
society as the Christian Organizations of thej world and this
statement in no degree detracts from the glory of the work
of every secular organization engaged in human welfare, j
Obedient to the divine command in the jvork of benevo
lence, organizations and individuals generally and always
should distribute alms in the spirit of letting not the right
hand know what the left doeth.1 The present trend is to dis
tribute good cheer and tf give freely but jujiiciously with a
view to making the receiver happier, more? jself-reliant arid
more determined to Ward jself-help and progress. Every type
of kind of giving which loses sight of self iri the permanent

THE QUEER PROBLEM A TELE

encountering on the way nothing
more portentous than ; the frown

guard.. : -;'? J- : , -. I
Upon reaching the apartment I
found -Claire Foster looking- as If
she : had not stirred , since I left
her. She was still In the soiled
negligee and kld( curlers of the
morning, and I .wondered with a
little feeling of discust when she
meant to get herself into civilized
garb. .- :.i
'Loi Madge." she greeted me
indolently, without stirring when
had entered by means of the
latchkey Dicky had given me. "I
hope you've had as delightful a
day as I have, although It couldn't
haye been as lazy a one. Talk
about your country retreats! This
living in an apartment where no
body knows you has 'em all skin

peated in quick alarm, ignoring
the later part of her sentence.- No
one save Lillian knew ! of ;our
whereabouts, and it had been but
a few honrs since I bad telephon
ed her the information. What
could have happened at home in
so short an intervals ' : j
"Don't look so - panicrstricken."
Claire, laughted. "The telegram
wasn't for you. It was addressed
to Robert Bliss' ' b''Y f ' ' ! !
"Oh!" The exclamation voiced
a heavy weight - lifted , from j my
heart. "Did you take it?" j ;
"Yes. I did," she returned.'her
tone agreed, but wliat Dicky dubs
my "Infinite capacity for worry
ing," began suddenly dubious. "I
wasn't sure what it was best to
do. If I had known where Dicky
was I would have telephoned him
about it. but I hadn't any Idea,
and so I thought I'd better hold
it here until he came."
"Have Your Snooze."
"You did the onlytjiing pos
sible," I functioning with specula
tions as to the Importance of the
yellow envelope which I say npon
the mantel. -1 ' ' -1 . V
Suppose ; it held a message of
death or desperate Illness either
to the host or the chatelaine,
something which (brooked no de
lay? Through my brain ; went, a
half-dozen wild Ideas for ' finding
out some possible way of getting
that telegram its destination,
but I had to come. back at last -to
Claire Foster's '.fbjution ot the
problem. - ? . "' . v-L;
"I'm going to lie down for a
few minutes.' ?r announced, feel-f
ing as I did so all the accumulated
fatigue and nervousness ot the
afternoon's experience pressing up
on me. "We'll " have plenty of
time to dress Tor dinner when I
get up, unless you want to dress
now. If you do, I'll ; take the
couch in the alcove." .
: "You'd never rest there." she
returned, "and I'm In "no hurry
to dress.' It won't take me long
when I get at it. Run along and
have your snooze. : You . look as
dered, woman-like, if Dicky would
notice the contrast. , ,
Curiously enough, it was one
which presented I itself . to him
sharply directly following my en
trance into the room. Claire
rushed in excitedly before I had
time to speak to ' him, and, if
possible, she looked 'untidier than
ever. , 1 , ; , ' '-. ;. ,
, "Oh. Dicky,7 she said breath
lessly. "I forgot to tell you. That
telegram came today for Mr. Bliss,
but I didn't dare open, it, and I
had no idea where to send it. so
I kept it until you came. Now,
don't scowl In ; that terrifying
fashion., I don't intend to play
Alice to your Ben Bolt, if t do
love you to distraction. Ta-taJ" :
She trailed her disreputable
looking wrapper back to the bed
room, and again I wondered why
a girt as attractive as Claire Fos
tershould be willing to let: any
human eyes, even her own, see
her in so unlovely a guise.'

Two acts wiU stand out on the
new bill at th Bligh theater to
day. They are', the Bryan and
House revue and the Tripoli trio.
From far off Tripoli come three
young musicians who present a
musical offering called "A Night
in Tripoli." The instruments they
play are r the accordion and tbe
guitar. They also entertain with
several songs and will fill the bill
as one of the feature attractions.
The Bryan & House revue will
come in for its share of the head-,
line position. The actj ia made up
of four talented persons who offer
song, dance and music. The com
pany comes from the musical com
edy. 1
Songs and smart chatter with a
comedy vein make the "Clodhop
per," the vaudeville I vehicle of
Raines and Avey, a big hit on the
bill. - Doc! Raines handles the char
acter of the clodhopper in an ad
mirable style, and his vivacious
partner, Miss Avey is an excellent
foil for his comedy, j
A buxom comedienne is Lillian
Calvert, billed ' as "The Quaker
Girl." Miss Calvert's! offering is
one of the daintiest in present-day
vaudeville.
Fred Ernesto has an act that is
