Matt. 25:31-33. FOR AN AIRPORT IN SALEM A crowded house at the noon luncheon of the Salem Cham ber of Commerce yesterday was given a glimpse of the future of air navigation by Tex Rankin of Portland, who is at the head of a flying school with 275 pupils in Portland; who was a delegate to the second annual conference on aviation in Washington last December, and who has been flying for ten years, during which time he has traveled hundreds of thous ands of miles without so much as getting a scratch or giving :ny one else a scratch Who may be considered an authority on aviation. Mr. Rankin said that, a short twenty years ago, when he saw the first automobile in the little Texas town where he HvpH antl a a curious barefooted bov followed it on foot for several miles, and did not have to run very fast, either, no one would have dared predict the things that have come to pass in the development of the automotive industry Any more than one could at this time estimate the ad vances that will be made in the use of the air routes. He said that within sixty days regularly scheduled planes carrying ten passengers each will be flying over Salem, mak ing the country between Seattle and Los Angeles, and that soon planes' carrying 100 passengers each will be making the big cities east and west (And that these planes will make stops at Salem, if this city will provide adequate airport facilities. He recommend ed that, for the immediate present, the field at the state fair grounds be improved by providing a longer runway sc that the larger sized planes may land and take off, and that the runway be graveled, cindered or sanded And, after that, he said Salem .should bond herself for properly equipped aviation grounds, according to the gov ernment specifications, with hangars, regulation signs for the direction of flyers, etc., etc. T.Ir. Rankin recited the fact that the port of Portland has provided a splendid airport for that city, which will represent a value of over a million dollars when all the contemplated facilities shall have been provided. It is.very certain that there are to be great developments iftZT ligation of the air; and they are coming fast. f rican cities have million dollar airports now. There Jr-l undreds of aviation schools scattered over this ' J V " - 1 W J country? "There are 600 in the five or six schools in Poet- land; and more will be soon established. There is an air plane factory in Portland ' And there are a dozen or more students now in the two Salem schools. Salem can have an airplane factory. Our city can be made a prominent air port of call by providing the proper facilities. This should be done. The American Legion here has the matter in hand. That organization shculd have the backing of the whole city Salem must be in line with this movement of progress. It is not a,Jthirtof the far future. It is here. We have M-saauaxM tj. laggard in getting the vision of the pening and to happen in the fast advanc .r, r ligation, and acting upon the vision. Yre cannot afford to lose any more time. Down at Salem they caught a fellow who stole a radio set. We presume that in his case the judge will provide the static. Eugene Register. The state flax plant has just made another shipment of ten tons of fiber that will be worked up into linens in Bel fast, Ireland, to come back as finished products, in part at least, to the United States, paying high duties. The state flax plant can be speeded up to a capacity large enough to supply at least eight linen mills as large as the larger one in;,Salem, of the Oregon Linen Mills, Inc. We should cer tainly have mills here with that capacity, at the earliest possible date. Of course, there will have to be some financ ing to bring the state flax plant up to the capacity men- rtioned; either by direct appropriations, which would allow that capacity to be reached at once, or by the growth of the state flax industry within itself, which would take some time perhaps several years. The big crowd at the Salem Chamber of Commerce meet ing at noon yesterday showed that this city, is. getting air mt'iifliul Will Wimil RTi?WTfW,VW V minded Destiny runs in a tortuous stream That flows away to a mystic port. As fickle and false as fitful dream That breaks far off on an unseen coast. It carries along a joyous crowd, Like the flowers that wave in the sun Dispels, for a time, each doubtful cloud That shadows afar its mystic run. The beautiful scenes that line the way, They lead to a mystic land serene. That brightly shines with a pristine ray Showing the world in a glittering sheen. High hopes well up in the human breast With mystic ships on a doubtful course, While storm-clouds rise in the sundown west That drive the ships by an unseen force. Some sail afar in the open sea Till lost in the bliss of a silvery spray, While others are tossed relentlessly On the jagged rocks that line the way. A haven of rest will welcome you And heal your wounds from the tortuous sea, If, only, you've held to the just and true And conquered the fate of Destiny. W. T. Rigdon.

Chapter 33 HIS morning there was a meeting in Jonas Merri- weather's office. That was it ten o'clock. There was a gen ?ral agreement that there could be no turning back. It would have spelled ruin for several of the men including Borden and financial embarrassment even to Merriweather. Merriweather was rather nasty about " the whole 'hing. He and Borden have never 5een particularly friendly In uinctive antipathy, I suppose rou'd call it. There was a hint of mismanagement No! not of dis honesty of mismanagement. A bit of acrid debate. But the re sult was inevitable. "It was decided that" these men should pledge a portion of their ivailable personal fortunes to sup ply the cash needed temporarily jy the company to tide over the present crisis. It is, of course, a olid company. Within a year they'll be making a great deal of money. But this pressure is im mediate and could be ruinous. The credit of the company as a company is exhausted. But the personal tprtunes of the stockhold ers were still available. Briefly, then, this is what hap pened: at eleven o'clock this uornlng, Merriweather and his as sociates delivered to Peter Borden nore than $200,000 worth of ne gotiable securities, largely, I un- lerstand. unregistered government tonds. This was in the nature of i loan to themselves. Borden was natrueted, as operating vice presi- lent, to post these bonds as secur ity with the First National bank for a loan of $200,000 on behalf of the corporation. Borrowing ash on cash security. Do you understand?" Yes, sir." Borden, as an Individual, re ceipted to these men, as individ uals, for the bonds. They were turned over to him before noon. Now" Carmody leaned forward; and fpcussed bis beady eyes full on Terry's face "now follow me in this, Terry: Peter Borden should have gone Immediately to the bank and either effected that loan or placed those bonds in his 3afety deposit box." Yes, sir." He did neither!" Carmody's face was granite hard. "He aid neither; Inexcusable carelessness mind you." Silence. Bob did not yet un derstand, and he groped for this thing which had turned Carmody into a steel spring. He was engrossed in his work It was Saturday. He went back to his desk with $200,000 worth of negotiable government bonds Bonds which can be handled al most as readily as money. He Im mersed himself in his work all afternoon. And tonight. Bob Terry tonight he took those bonds home with him!' His rolce ceased with the sud denness of a blow. Bob half closed his eyes. He recalled a circum stance of Borden's home-coming: the small, tired man; the brief case; the greeting of Lois and then Borden's trip to the wall safe where he put something. Two hundred thousand dollars! Bob felt his heart pounding. Busi ness worries worries which had graven little horizontal lines in Peter Borden's forehead. And $200,000 of other men s money reposed In bis antiquated wall safe! It did not occur to Terry to ask how Carmody obtained his In formation. It was a silent tribute to the man that he accepted state ments sa facts. Carmody knew everything. Bob knew that Car mody's information was accurate. His mind moved laboriously ahead; he wasn't yet accustomed to quick thinking. Do you see what it means? Carmody's rolce came to him ai from a great distance, and he an swered In a low, tense rolce. "I i I think so." "Merriweather does not like Borden, i He resents Borden's management of affairs the man than he has ever invested in any A a- I 1 a a . ... imiig eise in ni3 wnoie lire. I un derstand that fully half of that money is Merriweather'a. Now then, Terry, suppose just sup pose that those bonds were stolen? Suppose that on Tuesday morning when Borden went to his safe A 1- 1 1 I Liiey uaa aisappearea7 Can you see what would happen then?" Bob s eyes narrowed. He did see. And the thin voice of John Carmody made the picture crystal clear. "The bonds are gone. Two hun dred thousand dollars' worth. To day Is Saturday. The man who takes them will hare until Tues day morning to cover his tracks Monday is Labor Day a legal holiday. No banks open. The bonds are gone. Borden calls a meeting of his directors. He re ports the loss of the bonds. Two hundred thousand dollars' worth. That is a great deal of money. "There is consternation. They demand to know what those bonds were doing in his home". He has no defense here. They should have been in the bank. It wa? gross carelessness on his part. Of course those men ever Merri weather will not think that he stole them. But they will rage because he has been careless, and because $200,000 is a great deal of money. A very great deal. Especially to Jonas Merriweather who is the richest of them all. They will demand that Borden re turn the money. And he can't re turn it, Terry because he hasn't a cent. He is a wealthy man only if that plant is successful. He hasn't a penny now, aside from his very modest checking account at the First National bank and the home he lives in. Every nickel is invested in that plant. "There Is the chance that he will arouse the anger of Merri weather. Just a chance. If he does that, he will be charged with embezzlement. And eren if he Isn't he will be in a desperate position. He will know that he if guilty of criminal neglect and you may imagine for yourself what that will do to a man as con scientious as Peter Borden." Again that abrupt, dramatic ces sation of speech. Carmody's face was in sharp relief; his eyes blazed with hatred of Borden. "Embezzlement!" He said the word, slowly unctuously. "Can't you understand that. Bob Terry? You were tried for embezzlement. You were conrlcted of committing an embezzlement which you did not commit. You bad not even been careless. You know the shame of it, the horror, the help lessness. Even if you had not been sent to prison, it would have ruined your life to hare gone through that trial. Imagine the effect of that situation on a man like Peter Borden. Just because he has contributed to this thins by his carelessness he will suffer torture. He will scourge himself. He will go through all that you' went through and more. "Here is your revenge, Terry. It is a glorious opportunity. You not only ruin Borden, yon not only cause him agony, of soul, yon not only break his spirit but, by God! you do it In almost the same way that he did it to you. You place him In the position of an embezzler. That's what he did to you. You give him the precise type, of suffering that, you exper ienced. You teach him what he taught you and you enjoy it be cause you know every stab of pain he is bearing; you can understand every thought. Jonas Merrl-l weather will try him for embezzle ment, Terry not because he is conscientious, but because he will want to save something of his $10,000. What Borden did to you because he believed It was his duty, Merriweather will do to him because his pocketbook has been touched. "Peter Borden arrested for em-j bexxlement! Think of the head lines! Borden, the -embezzler! Then It will be your turn to lsugh!" You' could never have ex pected such a thing as this. Terry. erims for" which ha sent yon to hell. And now " His voice softened. It grew ai most pleading. "And now, lad what do you say? Will you take this revenge or won't you?" Terry was in a daze. He had fallen under the hypnotic spell of Carmody's words. "You mean that I am to steal those bonds?" "Why not? You told me that nothing in the world mattered but revenge on Borden. Very well, here Is your chance. It couldn't be better. Your opportunity to break him on the Identical wheel he used to torture you! Suppose this is a criminal act:. Would you have had a criminal turn of mind if it hadn't been for him? Would you? Did he send you down to the state penitentiary to associate on terms of equality with burg lars and murderers and highway men? Wasn't Peter Borden the spirit that drove you into those grim, gray walls where you were .less than an animal? And should he have the right to resent it if you absorbed a lesson during those three bitter years which en ables you to commit this offense without a twinge of conscience? Good God! Terry can't you see that this is a balancing of the scales? Can't you?" The boy wir "Awildered. Car mody's logic was relentlessly unanswerable. After all, it was merely a putting into words of the thoughts which he himself had nurtured for nearly four years. (To be Continued.)

These treaties exclude from arbitration lisputes that affect Japanese ter ritorial and political independence. Japanese vital interests or Japan ese honor. The viscount's announcement, made at the preliminary security conference convoked to promote disarmament, created somewhat f a sensation. The delegates are wondering whether Japan will go a step further than the United States and France when they ne- otiated the recent pact of arbi tration and outlawry of war. Viscount Saito declared that world conditions had rhaneed Ince the old treaties were signed, nd the Japanese government was giving the treaties close examina- 'ion from the standnolnt of whether they were too far readi ng or at least too indefinite. It is remarked that the arbitra tion treaty between Japan and the United States will expire soon and must be renewed, and it is being asked how far the United 3tates would be disposed to go to meet any sweeping Japanese pro posal calculated to make the new treaty a more effective instrument against war.

As soon as his nom ination is approved by the senate Mr. Green plans to resign his seat in the house where for 17 years he has represented the ninth Iowa congressional district. Speaker Long worth and Repre sentative Tilson, the republican floor leader both predicted that Rep. Willis C.

"Oust Republicans' Cry Calling for a "united and mili tant democracy" Senator Reed de clared at the outset of his address that "the most Important ques tion before the American people is to drive the republican party from power; to take this govern ment out of the hands of bood lers, grafters and lobbyists and to place its control once more In the hands of the American people." Reviewing then the republican administration since Woodrow Wilson left the White House, the Missouri senator adverted to the naval arms treaty, the settlement of foreign debts, the 192 Penn sylvania senatorial primary and the oil scandal, and assailed rres- ident Coolidge, Secretary Mellon. Albert B. Fall, former Interior secretary, and Harry M.

Daugherty, then beyond doubt formulating the conspiracy of robbery and theft which has since disgraced the republic," Sen ator Reed said Fall as interior sec retary, had "accepted the b:rlbes of the conspirators; did their bid ding, and-orruptly transferred to rtnin rf thpm the vast oil re- seves of the republic." DaiiRhrrty CUnrRe Dug Up Describing Daugherty as "a creature covered with the leprosy of corruption," the Mlssourian de clared that thia official "paralysed the department of justice so that its arm was not stretched forth to apprehend Fall and his fellow con spirators." Attacking the republican admin istration also for enactment of the Fordney-McCumber tariff law ind for what he said was a con centration of power in Washing ton, Senator Reed asked how stood the case at this time. "Trusts multiply and the presi; dent does not "choose" to Inter fere." he said. "Monopoly grows fat, and the president does not 'choose' to act." "Combinations are formed and arrogantly pursue their methods under the protection of the gov ernment, and " the president 'chooses' to approve. "Commissions are packed by in terested parties and their attor neys, and the president 'chooses' to do the packing."
