Not in this country, for here they are just kicked about from place to place; but in their old home land in central Europe where a similar fate is now befalling them. Time3Tiave been hard with the Romany people. Big changes have come. In the good old days when nobles owned vast estates in Hungary, the gypsies could come in the harvest season and be sure their music, their singing and dancing, would find favor and reward. If the crops were good the master would be very generous, he might even spit on a thousand crown note and paste it on the forehead of a gypsy queen. There was sport and there was feasting and the gypsies could face the winter without fear. Now the feudal nobles are few in number, and the peas ants shower the roving bands with no gifts. The gypsy women who were always privileged to glean the fallen ears of wheat now find little for their labor. The machine has picked the grain clean. So the gypsies fall easily into evil ways. There is pilfering; there is begging. There is even work at menial labor, setting potatoes or digging them in the fall; making mud-bricks to be dried in the sun. There is always the road along which the covered wagons followed by dogs and children may travel, to destinations not known, driven by chance and the gesticulations of annoyed gen darmes. And real crimes have been committed, not just those of fancy and fiction, not those told to frighten children into obedience, but crimes calling for trials in court. There have been murders. Recently at Kosice, Slovakia, a dozen gypsies were tried for a half dozen murders committed there in late years. A fourteen year old boy had a bottle sticking from his pocket. Gypsies saw it, thought it was brandy, and killed the boy for the bottle. A woman wore a gay neckerchief ; a gypsy girl saw it ; the woman dies that the gypsy girl may get the bright kerchief. Out of an unknown past into an unknown future. A wild, romantic race, but times are stamping the romance out of the gypsies; Some of them have settled in villages but it is slow work for them to win acceptance. One cannot think of gypsies whose blood heats to the call of the open road, settling down as a race into village life. But such may be the fate that close-knit society may force upon them. The Hadnot Parole IN giving parole to David E. Hadnot, Circuit Judge McMa han has shown a leniency unjustified by the facts and ubversive of public welfare. Hadnot tobs arrested in July at his own home on North Front street. Here were at least a dozen people consuming beer which he was selling. In the front room of the house were five minors, three boys and two girls, all drinking beer gold them by Hadnot. It is unconvincing to say that Hadnot did not know bet ter. It is equally futile to set forth that he did not make the liquor. Any man of ordinary intelligence knows that sale of liquor is illegal. Hadnot should have known that sale to min ors is doubly culpable in the eyes of the law which provides a minimum sentence of one year in the penitentiary for this offense. As,. a matter of fact this was not a first night offense for Hadnot. Sale of liquor had been going on for some time; at least a week previous to the raid under-cover men had purchased liquor at his home. Nor were there mitigating circumstances to necessitate a parole. The district attorney's office sought no leniency for him. Hadnot's own counsel did not appear at the quiet hearing before Judge McMahan. If there is any offense which is obnoxious in the eyes of the public, it is debauching the morals of the young. Long before prohibition the sale of liquor to minors was a serious offense. No one justifies it; and when Hadnot made his home a beer garden rendezvous for youth he was committing an offense that deserved drastic punishment. What he got was a suspended sentence. Many men if? Marion county have been fined $500 and given sentences of from 60 days to six months in jail for selling liquor to adults. Yet Hadnot escapes fine and imprisonment, provided of course he doesn't get caught again. What are the laws for and .what are the prisons for if crime is base go scot-free ? We don t believe in an eye for an eye" and are quite willing to temper justice with mercy.

HENDRICKS About Bishop Simpson: m S Perhaps the average reader would like to know a little more about his visit to Oregon in 1854 than there was room for in this column of yesterday. The aecount of yesterday left the famous Methodist bishop, pro nounced by Abraham Lincoln the greatest orator of his day, on the west side of the Willamette river, having crossed on Humphrey's ferry, that was between Indepen dence and Sidney; near the Jud son rocks in the river. He was ac companied by "Mr. Bonhard, son-in-law of Mr. Campbell," as Bish op Simpson wrote. Mr. Campbell was Hamilton Campbell, who came on the Lausanne In 1840, with his "wife and child," accord ing to two writers. Bancroft says "children." Campbell bought the cattle of the old mission, or part of them, when it was dissolved by order of, Rev. George Gary, the successor of Jason Lee, and he was dubbed by Borne of the set tlers thereafter "Cow Campbell," as men were likely to be in those times, like Sheep Smith, Hog Hill, etc., etc. And, too, some of the settlers thought Campbell got the cattle at a low price, and on too easy terms, as a favored buyer, et,c. He came to the mission in the capacity of carpenter. Bishop Simpson wrote his wife on March 15, 1854, that he was on the steamer Peytona in the Co lumbia and hoped to reach Port land that evening. "Tomorrow conference begins at Belknap set tlement," he said, "which is four days' Journey from Portland." The 15th wa3 Wednesday. He ex pected to reach Oregon City Thursday and Salem Friday, by boat, and the conference by Sun day, if he could get a guide. He wrote: "On the left side, about two miles below the old mission site, we passed the place of Ger vals, a Frenchman, said to have accompanied Lewis and Clark, and at his house Lee preached his first sermon in the Willamette. Shortly after we tied up until the moon rose, when, again starting, we grounded on a sand-bar some eight or ten miles from Salem. Though exceedingly anxious to hurry on, I found it Impossible to land and get a conveyance. The yawl of the boat was employed in taking soundings and trying to produce a lighter. There was an island and a large number o f sloughs on the left, so as to pre vent our Journeying if landed. We finally got loose at 8 a. m.. but were detained till 11 by var ious circumstances. We reachei Salem at a quarter past one, and hastened to procure some sort of conveyance to Corvallis. Governor Davis met me on the wharf with his usual kind manner and good humored smile, and pleasantly re marked that when we last met in Indiana we did not expect to meet in Oregon, he as governor and i as bishop. By the help of a friend who had Joined me at Portland, Mr. Bonhard, succeeded in procur ing a wagon to convey us to Cor vallis for 40 I paying S0 with the promise of going through very rapidly. (The bishop was a day late on account of the boat getting on a sand bar below Sa lem.) Our vehicle was a light spring wagon, rather frail, with but one seat; and our horses, though promised an excellent team, were very small. Soon after starting our traces got loose sev eral times, and the sides of the wagon bed, held together by a string, broke the string and let down our seat. Mr. Bonhard sat behind us, on his trunk, and I on the seat, one end of it elevated, the bther on the floor." " 1 W W V Something was told yesterday ot the. trip oTer the Mils south ot Time to Think of Salem, passing the governor's res idence about eight miles out, and the crossing of Humphrey's fer ry. The account in Bishop Simp son's letter to his wife is taken up here, after they were across the ferry: V The boat was shoved off and turned, and we were soon under way, passing a mile or so of thick fir woods, with very bad roads. Emerging from the forest, we en tered a prairie skirted with a lake, a slough on our left, and missed our way In consequence of the fen cing up of elaims. This was found to be almost universally the ease . . . It was now twilight, and in a mile or two farther our driver lost his way. After winding to sev eral points of the compass, we brought up at the farm house of Mr. Collins, with whom we made a bargain to send us on to Corval lis. But the horses had been turn ed out Saturday evening, and it was pretty dark, and they must be hunted before we could proceed. V . "Finding who we were, we were treated very kindly and fur nished with supper. Horses were procured and harnessed to the wa gon, leaving our driver and horses. A son of Mr. Collins start ed with us to Corvallis at 10:00 o'clock at night. Taking advan tage of some sheaf oats put in the hinder part of the wagon, I lay down on them, and thus rode a large part of the way, which was down through sloughs and mud, reaching Corvallis at two at night. Here all were in bed. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell were absent at confer ence, and I could not learn how I was to get forward to Belknap's settlement. Lying down, I slept till sunrise, when I was awakened by Mr. Bonhard, and found the In dian boy at Mr. Campbell's had been sent to Judge Stewart's, a mile below town, for a horse. Judge Stewart was to have accom panied me, but, despairing of my coming, the horses had been turned out. Before a horse could be caught and brought to town it was a quarter past eight. Assured, however, it was only 15 miles away, I was immediately in the saddle, crossed Mary's river in a ferry boat, and, over a very mud dy road and exceedingly deep sloughs, I rode rapidly, two men being my pioneers. "Mary's peak, covered with i snow, v as visible all the time ! rom- 3 0 miles distant. Five miles j r:dn? rn a level not far from the I W!'!amtte brought us to clumps of tree : ten miles to an undulat- inc rid?" fifteen miles -brought I us to r:p!knap"s settlement, near ' tf-e jnn-tion of the Long Tom and the WiHnmette. We rode along Lonr; Tom. a dull, sluggish stream in this part of Its course, said to have been named tor an early set tier Long Tom Barr. Having parted with my guides, I learned that the church was yet five miles distant and situated among the spurs of the Buttes. Riding on and carrying my satchel, I at length came in sight of a log school house, with a little board shed at tached temporarily to it. It stood on the top ot a butte, in great measure surrounded by sloughs. and nearly a mile from any house. Horses and wagons were tied around it. Alighting and divesting myself of my outer wraps, I step ped into the church Just as the congregation engaged in prayer at the close of, as I was informed, an excellent sermon by Brother Pearson." H Bishop Simpson did not write a very legible hand. That was long before the day of typewriters. He no doubt wrote the name Pearne, for It was Rev. Thomas H. Pearne who had delivered the sermon that morning. He was the presiding el der of the Willamette district. Brakes chosen the year before at the first Oregon conference ot the Metho dist church, held in Salem, at which Bishop Edward R. Ames, another one of the great Metho dist orators of that day, presided. In fact. Bishops Simpson and Ames, both from Indiana, were the outstanding pulpit orators of America then, along with Henry Ward Beecher, who also then In Indiana, at Indianapolis. Oregon Methodism, in its two first annual conferences, was certainly pecul iarly favored. V There Is mors of the story ot Bishop Simpson's visit to the back woods Methottist conference of 1851, and his other travels in Ore gon then, which will have to go over till tomorrow, for lack of space. S P. S. Since writing the above, the Bits man thinks a friend has located the government's mansion ot Oregon of 1854. More about this later. Editors Say: HAL HAS PRIVATE SECRETARY Hal Hoss is to have a private secretary. Hal has reached the height of our ambition. Wa al ways thought that If we ever got rich enough to have a private sec retary to keep our desk in order and do the routine work while all we would have to do would be to say, "Geraldine, look up what Senator Borah said along in 1895 about the tariff on peanuts." Or, "Geraldine, file this article on baptism for future reference." Now Hal has reached that state of pulchritude. Moreover, he has as a private secretary a young lady whom he trained as cashier when he was a poor newspaper man. He knows before hand that she will take orders without pouting and that she won't spend half her time powdering her nose. To be sure, she took journalism in col lege, but in as much as she does not have to apply it- to her work as private secretary, it ought not to hamper her usefulness. By the time she decides to go back into the newspaper she may happily have forgotten all she learned about Journalism and make a good newspaper woman. She can't get married while working for Hal for he won't permit it. We for get whether Hal requires them to wear stockings or not. There was something about that in the pa pers. We personally prefer them with stockings. We never saw a leg that wouldn't be better look ing inclosed in silk. So Hal. old top, here's to you. We always like to see a newspaper man suc ceed. To have a private seeretary is the extreme summit of success. You have left Elbert Bede and'us so far behind that we never hope to catch up. But Bede, he could n't keep a secretary more than a day anyhow. As for us, w are starting a savings account today and before we die. it we live long enough, we hope to have enough to be able to spend our last year bossing around a private secre tary, having her answer the phone, do our lying, remember our ap pointments, if any, and above all, answer the correspondence. If there is any one thing we neglect more than another it la corres pondence. It can always wait. So, here's to yon Hal. You live long and prosper and always have a prlrate secretary.

At least 1,000,. "000 persona in this country have speech defects, and of these ap proximately 500,000 are school children who stammer or stutter. Common forms of speech devel opment, according to a bulletin of the federal health service, are: retarded speech, imperfect speech associated with partial deafness or caused by malformations of speech organs; a nervous disorder as stammering, stuttering and nervous hesitation. Cause and remedy of most of these defects are pointed out in the bulletin, substance of wheh follows: The normal child learns to talk largely through imitation; and when this instinct is lacking, speech development is retarded and ther exists "dumbness with out deafness," which requires careful attention and training. Other causes of retarded speech development are inattention and, strange as it may seem, lack of conversation in the home. The popular belief that children who do not learn to talk at the normal age are mentally detective is responsible for much unwar ranted anxiety for often speech development may be delayed as late a3 nine years of age in chil dren otherwise normal. Partial deafness may also be BETTER THl PLANE CLEVELAND. Aug. 27. ( AP) Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, who first showed the way across the Atlantio from New York to Paris, told newspapermen, today that "the dirigible, as now devel oped, is superior to the airplane for trans-oceanic flying," and ex pressed the hope that a lighter-than-alr passenger line would be opened in the United States.

Aug. 27 (AP) The past few days have seen a cessation of the reports of border raids In Manchuria which at one time appeared approaching the status of open warfare but there were still no signs tonight of any approach to reopening negotia tions on the Chinese eastern rail, way dispute. Both China and Russia are showing the same reluctance to yield in the slightest degree to the viewpoint of their respective op ponents. Foreign Minister T. C. Wang at Nanking in an interview today said that his government resolutely refused to restore the status quo on the railway as a preliminary to negotiations in the face ot continued ample proof of the persistence of Soviet propa ganda. He expressed willingness, however, to adhere to terms of the railway agreement ot 1924, which provided for Joint direc tion of the railway by Chinese and Russians.

Mo3t deaf-mutes have perfectly normal speech organs, but do not exercise them because of their inability to hear spoken words. Careful tests should be made of all speech defectives for the discovery of partial deafness. Such children should always be referred to an ear specialist for treatment; and if treatment is ineffective, lip reading should be taught. Careful searcn should be made for the presence of malformations in order that prompt corrective treatment and speech education j may be carried out. A number of specialists hold that in cleft palate better speech Is obtained j in those who have not been oper i ated upon, when supplied with proper corrective dental contri vance, because the. muscles are free to adjust themselves. The most usual form of speech i disorder is stammering or stutter ing. From the standpoint of de velopment there are two distinct types, one which commences with the development of speech and the other that begins after the child has learned to speak nor mally. The first form is the most difficult to eorrect. The under lying cause of stammering is purely mental. It is most fre quently observed in the so-called nervous, highly strung children. A3 these children grow older they subconsciously fear that their speech organs will refuse to work and have the horror of being tht object of ridicule. Parents should not be deluded by any expectation that the "child will outgrow the defect." Only the very mild cases developed through imitation may be said to be outgrown when the increasing mental development of the child enables him to recognize and cor rect his mistake. On the other hand, the nervous speech ' disor ders, when well developed, are more difficult to correct, because they are curable only by special forms of reeducation. Speech clinics have been es'ablishei throughout the country for the correction of speech defects and the wise parent will take advant age of these clinics to remove the handicap in life which these dis orders impose on their children.
