OUR COUNTRY GREAT PECAUSE GOOD The United States is a great country because it is good. Because it is altruistic and eleemosynary. Because, while thinking of its own, it thinks of others, and backs its sym pathetic heart with the helping hand Does these things and feels this way above any other country; and above any other time in the world's long his tory. Altruism is the mother of love, and these are the finest ' sentiments in the human heart. They join the people of the earth to those in the fields of asphodel beyond the stars the finite with the infinite; earth to heaven , And those who delve in the fields of science and talk in the language of metaphysics believe that the first prompt ings of the causes that differentiate the races of men from the brute creation came from altruism ; from the love of the animal mother for her offspring; feelings that will make the tigress give up her life for her cub. In considering the statement that the United S'tates is a great country because it is a good country, the reader will be right if he will suggest that the United States is not all good; that there is much crime' and selfishness-tin tbisiii &rtainui fatten country; that the jackal is not fAr Tinder thmol; numoers oi our population, juanuesuy ana aammeaiy true - But the streak of goodness in the United States is the iV'ide one,' compared with tne narrow yellow streak of ego 'Htt;i&(Lb " 1 Ve read oTthe doings of the people of the narrow yellow streak. The doings of the great majority making up the mass of our people go largely unheralded. Their honesty of purpose and their daily deeds of charity and mercy and good will, and their industry and thrift and decency are all taken as a matter of course. They do not make news. They do not blazon themselves in "scare heads" across the front pages of our newspapers. We show our altruism by giving away the greatest sums annual jever bestowed by any people, of this or any time. Tlfpiimt tof aitruism marks pur people as individuals. The vast, Vast majority of them. We are our brothers' keepers. We recognize the precepts of the brotherhood of man pro claimed by the lowly Nazarene. We love our neighbors And our neighbors are those who have need of our help, the world around; even the children of our enemies, like the German and Russian orphans of the World war. We are prone to think of great corporations as soulless: as outside the promptings of altruism. In our country, this is a mistaken notion. Proofs of this statement might be piled -high, like PeKon on Ossa. They ran through all Am erican corporate life. Here is one major recent concrete instance, taken from a late Southern Pacific Bulletin, printed under the heading; "Now It Can Be Told," as follows : Believing that it would be of public interest, the Commit- telf on. Pnblic Relations of the Eastern Railroads has secured -fprom eight railroad companies involved in the Mississippi flood areas a statement of their free relief services. These railroads are: Southern Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Illinois Central, St. Louis-San St. Louis Southwestern, Kansas Rock Island and Pacific. - From the beginning of the these eight railroads: Operated 204 special relief trains. BronghtHout 104,788 refugees. Saved 2,479 carloads of household goods and live stock. - Furnished 4.794 cars for temporary living quarters. Transported 504 carloads of food and supplies. f The above services are in addition to the labor of thous ands of their own maintenance of tens of thousands of laborers from plantations to levee protection; and the transportation of tnany thousands of carloads of sand, rock-and lumber used in protecting levees. All of these services were in question do not attempt to services. The relief authorities, however, have estimated that value at not less than five A DISTINCJ ' - The Statesman has referred cow feed being made at the state flax plant 4 Made from the flax bolls and small and broken and stray seeds, and the other seeds mixed from the fields with the flax- All of which, up to a short into the furnace for fuel, making up in that shape a by product of insignificant value. This cow feed is being turned out at the rate of about five tons a day. It sells at $25 a ton. That is $125 a day for a new by-product; like extracting money from the air. Fig ure it up. Estimate the new source of revenue by multiply ing $125 by 312 working days pf the year . But more than this. This year, the flax acreage will be 3P00, against 2000 grown last year for. the state flax plant. It will be more next yeai; likely 4000. It will be 8000 as Boon as the building up of the revolving fund will allow of the handling of that great a tonnage. (Or perhaps the next legislature may wisely provide acres at one swoop.)

Will there be a demand for all this for all that can be turned out at the state flax plant and at all the private plants to be scattered over the valley? Yes. ' .7 Yesterday a Portland concern offered to buy all the cow food on hand; about 67 tons, at the $25 price. The whole cupply could be sold to dealers, to be distributed all over the country. But none of it will be sold, excepting to local dairymen, who need it and will buy it all. Soon, there will have to be an end to the making of the cow food, till the next harvest, which will bring in the new flax tonnage to be threshed. rThe raw supply will be temporarily exhausted. There are other experiments being made at the state flax plant, looking to the profitable use of -every vestige of the flax-plant; experiments that may mean epochal advances in the flax and linen industries Here is a little look into the future. How far into the future ? Probably not very far. Salem is going to surround the Oregon penitentiary. That institution is in the city limits now. Has been since the latter part of 1909. Homes and factories and stores will be clustering east of the prison lands by the hundreds soon. The place surrounded .by the brick stockade of the institution will be very near' to the center of the Salem of the ufture of the next' 10, 20 or 30 years. The prison authorities, besides using the farm lands around the institution to the limit, growing vegetables and breeding chickens and raising swine, etc., are renting 'about 500 acres for farming and gardening operations. They keep about 600 hogs; they have a large dairy herd. The tonnage of field vegetables is large. Well, the time is ap proaching when the land around the present stockade and main buildings will sell for enough money to buy 500 acres or more further out. Perhaps for enough to build a new prison, more modern and convenient for housing the in mates and carrying on the industries than the present plant. How long? This is a thing to be considered by the men in charge of the business of the state. r No one interested in the future of the Willamette .valley must be allowed to overlook the meeting in Salem on Feb ruary first to consider the importance of the improvement of the Willamette river, so that a boating and barging stage may be secured irrevocably the year through. It is the biggest thing ori the tapis, affecting the value of every acre of land between the Cascades and the Coast Range, and every front foot of city property. " a Whatever helps the flax industry at the state prison af fects the value of the land all over the Willamette valle upon which flax may be grown and this means near, every acre, that may be given over to flax as a valuabk rotation crop. 'Hill and middle and low bottom land. Every acre that is good for grain. Colonel Lindbergh All Ready to 'Resume Flight COLON. Panama. Jan. 21. 1 (AP) Colonel Charles A. Lind bergh, refreshed by a week's va cation at hunting and fishing, was back in Colon tonight ready for resumption of bis good wiU tour which will carry "him to the Pan American congress at Havana, Cuba. The American filer who spent the past week in the little town of Boaqttete, near Darls, 200 miles from the Canal Zone, arriv ed safely In an army plane at France field at 2:22 p. m. this af ternoon. He returned to find his famous plane, the Spirit of St. Louis, tuned up for resumption of the flight which already has carried him to Mexico City and to &U the capitals ot the Central American FATHERS JAN. 28 sat tor January zs. Heads er tne pictured above, are Marlon Barnes, Ta- em: below. Marion Leach. Ashland. here. republics as well aa to Belli, British Honduras. The next scheduled stop of the colonel's flight, to be resumed in a day or two, is Caracas, Venezue la, 1,000 miles from Panama. Thence bis route will carry him to St. Thomas. Haiti. Porto Rico, Havana and finally back . to ilia home port, St. Louis. Many cables and letters were awaiting Colonel Lindbergh on bis landing at France field as noth ing had been forwarded on to him fa accordance with his instruc tions that he be left alone so that he might get a complete rest. A Martin bomber and a trans port plane were sent to Daris to day to bring camp equipment and the mechanics attached to" the Lindbergh party. ' e OUTER GATE - i s By OCTAVUS CmVTSAX, VKBBS UM, READ THIS FIRST: Bob Terry is released from pris on! after three years for a crime he did not; commit. Peter Bor den, his employer, thinking Bob was guilty, thought It his "duty" to send Bob to prison. Bob Is re leased with hatred In his heart for Borden, and determines to make him suffer Mas he has suffered. Borden, eorry for his mistake takes Bob into his home and of-; fere to share ids fortune with the man he sent; to prison. Bob stays at the home of Borden ad plots to get" him, j Bob meets Lois Bor den, the beautiful daughter of Peter Borden. In the old days Bob has worshipped Leis from afar. Todd Shannon. Bob s pris on, pal, tells; Bob to see John Car- mody, the state's leading erica inal lawyer and political boss. (Now go on with the Story.) Chapter VH. nrjHE man's reputation sat oddly upon his narrow shouJders He was short and tnm ana nis face waa sharp beneath straggly hair which! was never quite smoothly brushed. He appeared to be a clerk and only in that capacity not: out of place in the luxuriously furnished office on the door of which was the single word Private. Vet this was John Carmody's office, and : Carmody wan tne sharp-faced man at the desk who deliberated with punctilious eare between two brands of perfumed cigarets. He was dressed with a' plainness amounting to severity. His private office occupied a corner of the fourteenth floor of the First National Bank building and between it and the hall were other offices: those of hireling lawyers who attended t orontine work for him, and of law clerks and of many stenographers and typists and filing clerks. One did not gain an audience with John Carmody easily and never unless he desired it. There were many who tried to blast through and always without success. There was rigid austerity for the timid and. if necessary, brute force for any who might harbor a deep per sonal animosity against the acrid man in the .corner room. John Carmody had enemies: powerful ones, for to be an enemy of Carmody's ; one must be power ful. Ostensibly the man was merely an amazing successful practitioner in the field of crim inal law; actually he was an om niscient power in city, county and state politics with a finger firm on the pulse ; of the underworld and the proletariat. Personally, he cared nothing for the political limelight. He never sought office and would have re fused it had it been thrust upon him. But it pleased him and was of inestimable personal bene fit to control those who did hold offiee. It is difficult to overesti mate the value of knowing in ad vance just who will be on the jury in a vitally important case; it is ot absorbing interest to a crim inal lawyer to know exactly who the real criminals are so that at times these men sought his ser vices defensively, merely to close lips that might otherwise be used to assist the district attorney. That was John Carmody: a ra pier brain behind innocuous mask of bland friendliness; a master player moving his chessmen about the va&t board ot the state; a per son who knew to the tiniest frac tional par tot an inch what he could and should do and what had beet be left undone. It pleased him to earn the worship of the criminal world. Its citizens fur nished him with an adequate prac tice, but more particularly they held tiny bits of information which could be woven prettily into hte warp and woof of information texture which enabled him to in vest his personal fortune soundly and successfully. Only the very honest dared ex press hatred of John Carmody. If they snubbed him, that was their business and immensely amusing to him. They did not have the power to blacklist him from the city's exclusive clubs, nor to de bar him from: the best social cir cles, Socially, he was consider able of a lion. Men responded in cp;te of themselves, to the sheer r of the man, and women illy one or two of Carmody's t intimate friends and none of his enemies- knew of the chink in the man's; armor. They re garded him as Inhuman, bereft of any; distinctly masculine emotion; yet beneath the retiring exterior were veins in which red blood coursed hotly- so hotly, indeed, thaV on more, than one occasion it had; come near to betraying the man. Where women were con cerned he was not always bland and suave and never negative. It waa that which had sent Todd Shannon to iail. Carmedy could have picked bis own Jury in that trial, and would have had tt not been that he learned of Kathleen's Intention to come Into his employ. With Kathleen as his private sec retary, he considered It more prof itable to htri own interests -for Todd to be In i prison. And so to prison - Todd , went he and his niece filled - with, admiration for the j heroic efforts of this great man on Todd's behalf and .Car mody was left! with a free hand to do as best he could with the girl For years she had baffled him He knew that she worshiped his power and his. ability. Her ad miration of his I accomplishments shewed in every look and gesture ROY COHEN tlmacy be had never pierced the veil of personal reserve. He was further away from the girl now than he had been wen Todd Sannon first went to prison, and he had been too adroit, too much the master strategist, to risk dis aster by one grand false move. He had never .succeeded in convincing her that he was a mortal man and not a demigod, and fiesh-and-blood women do not fall in love with gods. The door opened and a man en tered. He was a tremendous fig ure. oddly picturesque. Officially he was John Carmody's collection agent. Actually, he was Carmody's aVn Friday. His more than six feet in height bulked again tthe panels of the walnut door, broad and forbid ding. The head, magnificently formed, waa almost hairless- and it glistened in hte glare of the morning sunlight which streamed In through the east window. The jaw waa .that of a professional pugilist, the walk that of an over muscled wrestler. But when he spoke, his voice came with a sense of shock. The man whispered! There were some who yet thought that Willie Weaver's whispering was an affectation rather than an affliction. The thin, whistly syllables came queerly from the broad, firm mouth; they were tstartlingly a' variance with the herculean figure and the cold, level eyes. Whis pering Willie Weaver! A man and a fighter. A physical bulwark be tween John Carmody's frailness and bodily danger. Not that Car mody was lacking In courage; but council here are bucking Mayor he did lack in strength, and that j Bashor's appointments to city of Willie Weaver supplied. fices. Aim now me wmspering voice slehed throueh the room tha giant extended a newspaper. "Seen this. John?" Carmody glanced at the head lines and smiled. "Bob Terry?" "Yes and no." The whispering seemed sinister. "I mean where he's gone." "Ah! You don't mean ?" "Yeh. First edition of the eve ning paper says he's going to be temporarily at the home of Peter Borden, the iron magnate. Iron magnate! Get that?" "Foolish old man, isn't he?" ueried Carmody gently. "Damned fool: thafs what. Busted the kid in the firet place because he didn't have a lick of sense and now takes him right spang into his house. Never did trust Borden " io nonest, wiuie. I never trust a man who is too honest." "Yeh.". Te whlgper filled the room. 'Now this kid is sort at him. I got that from Todd Shannon, and him and Tod having been buddies t "He'll come to me. That's un derstood. Be very nice to the lad Willie." "Yes. Sir. And now " ."That's all. Willie. Run along." The huge figure hesitated then turned and departed. - Carmody smiled after him. Then, alone again, he rose and crossed to a mirror which hung on the wall. He smiled thinly at the meek. guileless countenaace reflected. He smoothed hie scarf and adjust ed the modest sapphire pin. He fumbled with a handkerchief and rearranged it in the breast pocket of his coat so that the very tip showed. Then he returned te his desk and pressed the buzzer. Kathleen Shannon entered, and Carmody's eyes flickered. He had never uite become used to the magic of her nearness to the knowledge that a touch of his deli cate finger on the buzzer would bring her to him. He looked at her now the one thing In the world which he want ed most and which was most unat tainable; firm and straight and ex quisitely faminite; hair and eyes midnight, cheeks and throat of white satin, lithe, eager, vibrant. A woman intensely physical. whereas he was merely an intel lect. She moved quietly and efficient ly accroea the room and seated her self at his desk, enticingly 'close; insulting unconscious of his near ness. Accustomed as he was to the impersonality of her attitude it never failed to stab him. Her voice was cool, self-possed, casual "Ready, sir." He shook himself together.
