After Twelve Years
A REPORTER writing in Sunday's Statesman, refers to
today as a "solemn holiday.". It was not solemn twelve

Nor do we think that this twelfth anniversary of the
ending of the world war is a "solemn holiday." We have
Memorial Day for that, when
True, even in this celebration

who. left home shores to meet death on foreign fields, nor
those who surviving bear the wounds of battle. But most of
all Armistice Day is a day of rejoicing over the ending of
the most terrible inferno the human race was ever plunged
- into. Twelve years ago there were tears but they were tears
of joy -save when some mother thought of one whom she
knew would not return.

T economy slowly and painfully seeks to restore itself to na
tional and industrial solvency. The movements for interna

fearful agonies as war, are countered by the ugly moods of
the vanquished and by the fanning of fresh hatreds by
those newly ambitious for power. Twelve years and the
ledgers of the world still carry war accounts. The world
V war has not yet been "liquidated" either in terms of money
or politics or social relations. The twelve years will reach
to twenty and the twenty to fifty years before the debits
and credits cast up by the war may be erased. The next
generation will still be fronting the problems that are the
legacy of 1914-1918.
t Twelve years have written new lines in the faces and
figures of those boys called to the cantonments of 1917-8.
You will see them march today, some of them, but they are
not quite the buoyant youth of twelve years back. They are
daddies now themselves. Grey s getting into their hair,
and some are getting bald. They, are more portly, heavier
on their feet. They may think themselves still young, but

A Step Toward Tolerance
THERE is one gratification in the election of Julius Meier
to the governorship and that is the evidence that it af
fords" of growing religious toleration. Only a few years ago
' with the hysteria then prevailing a Jew would hardly have
dared aspire to this high public office. One Jew was de
feated for the TJ. S. senatorship-though he was and is one
of the best and" most public-spirited citizens of Oregon. Two
K years ago religious prejudice was a strong factor in the de
feat of Al Smith. x - f x
For a country whose constitutions declare the separa
tion of ! church and state, we certainly , preserve our preju
- dices a long time and carry them with us into the election
booth. Last Tuesday's voting was a real step forward in
the direction of tolerance. When Clarence True Wilson, fig
v. watively speaking, sprinkles a Hebrew with Methodist holy
water, there is hope that some day people may get away
from religious persecution whether by rack and fagot or
the ballot. ' ' :
Political pointer dogs are picking up the scents left by last
Tuesday's elections, looking ahead to 1932. Pinchot and Dwlght
Morrow loom as possible opponents of President Hoover for re
nomination. Franklin Roosevelt looms as the "white hope of
the democrats, combining Tammany, ' antl-prohibltion and antl

on passing tne liquid milk over

Dried milk is good for many
reasons. It is practically sterile.
Its vitamin content Is not low
ered materially, it Is valuable as
an. - addition to milk formulas
when a concentrated food is de
sired. Dried milks are easily digest
ed. Because they are sterile, they
have advantages over fresh milk
unless the product comes from an
unquestioned source. Of course
the dried milks are more expen
sive than the fresh milk and are
not likely to be used when good
fresh milk is available.
Fresh milk possesses Intangi

supplemented by giving the in

tried to smile.

while she talked she was busy

a eackle. "BJushin' she is be

eyes were strangely still. "Yea

tried to gather herself together.
"It's been good to see yon again,
Neil. I'll come again soon."
He was" vaguely Indefinite in
the gloom, but she felt that he
shook his head. "No." His voice
held that new, flat note. "No,
yon won't, Ardeth. I guess I un

Hi.
In the fresh wind. Feeling the
cool air on her wet cheeks. See
ing the stars. The dark Autumn
night was grateful.
' A nightmare Nell left back
there in the red nightmare with
old Granny. Poor Nell ... "But
I can't!" she was crying desper
ately in her heart. "I can't'"
She was back before her own
dark shop. Reaching in her hand
bag for her key.
Her heart leaped. In the en
trance a tall figure slumped.
Someone who raised a white face
as she came up.
"Ken!" she cried.
CHAPTER 46 j
Her first thought was that
Ken had been drinking to excess.
His face was ghastly, his eyes
wild. It was his -will alone which
was holding him together.
"I shouldn't be here of course"
he began in an unnaturally calm
voice, "bat I had to come. You
see ... he died. The baby."
"The baby! Oh, .Ken.'
He- nodded very graveiy, 'Poor
old Colonel. Such a little thing.
So little, Ardeth."
"When?" she asked gently.
"Four days ago. They buried
him yesterday. Such a tiny cas
ket. I never realized that babies
took such little caskets.
"Where is Ceclle?" Her voice
was sharp.
"Cecile? Oh she's gone away.
Her nerves, you know. She's aw
fully nervous. She went on a
trip. It was all planned before
before. And there wasn't any
use staying here, you see. She
she couldn't change matters so
she's gone. Last night, I think it
was. I'm sort of mixed on dates.
Days and nights got tangled."
Ardeth put the key in the
lock and pushed him gently
ahead of her into the dark shop.
She lit the lamp in the back
room and looked at Ken. She
saw then that he was dazed with
fatigue. His' face was white and
it shone moist in the soft light.
. "What have you been doing.
Ken?" she asked gently as she
pushed him toward the couch.
He looked up In weary sur
prise. Wrinkled his .forehead.
"Walking. I think I walked all
over the city. It sort of helps
to walk. Shouldn't have come
here " He made an effort to
pull himself together. "Get you
in a row if people saw.. But I
couldn't get you out of my mind.
You liked the little fellow. I
wanted to be with someone who
who liked him."
He sighed deeply. Leaned over
and planted his elbows on his
knees. Wisely Ardeth let him
talk.
"You called him pretty '
Ken's low voice. "He i wasn't,
of course . . . Not like other
babies. But I guess even a baby
likes to be called pretty. And
he was awfully bright. ; An aw
fully bright little fellow. Funny,
isn't it, it helps to talk about
him ." i
"Go on, said the girl softly.

np at her. "Gee- you're sweet,
Ardeth. Well .-. . he had a lot
of personality. Not like a baby.
Like an older person, you know."
Remembering the old soul
which had looked out of those
baby eyes, the girl nodded.
"I had an idea he was lonely,"
Ken went on. "He seemed to
like to be with me. And so good
all the time! Hardly ever cried.

drew a long weary sigh.
Ardeth rose. "I'm going to
make you some hot tea. Ken,
You're shaking with chill. Lean
back against the pillows, dear.
Put your feet up. That's it "
She put a small pan of water
on the gas jet which stood be
hind a -screens Put tea in the
blue pot. Took a cup and saucer
from the cupboard.
When she came back to the
couch with the steaming cup Ken
was asleep.
For a moment she stood mo
tionless looking down at his nn
conscious face. Relaxed like this,
something of the bleakness had
faded from his face. There was
something of the gay Ken she
remembered. She put out a hand
and smoothed back the damp.
brown hair.
So Intent was she, that she
did not see the face pressed to
the alley window. The paint
which Jeanette had put on It
when she painted the Smokerie
had worn thin from many wash
ings, and the yelfow theatrical
gauze which draped It did not
hide the room from one looking
in from the alley.
Unaware that she was watch
ed, Ardeth flung a blanket over
Ken's long figure. Then she
reached over and pulled the cord
of the floor lamp. The room
blinked into a darkness relieved
only by the dim rose glow of a
night lamp.
Ardeth sat down In the big
chair and closed her eyes. But
not to sleep. She sat in the still
ness broken only by Ken's weary
breathing and now and then a
troubled mumble.
Too tired to think ... only
pictures of the night came crowd

troubled fragments of a dream.

We all owe a deep ! debt of
gratitude to the service men and
women, living and dead. 'The Bits
man had a chance on election
day on tho 4th of this month to
make a small contribution to
wards this debt by voting tor the
bonus bill, and he - was glad - to
pay it. He Is proud of that vote.
Why?
11
Because it offered a concrete
expression of the gratitude of the
people of Oregon to the service
men and women who enlisted and
served in the forces of the United
States, and were not at that time
residents of Oregon, but who
have since come to this state and
lived within lfs borders for as
much as 10 years.
Why should not the people of
Oregon lend the credit of their
state so that , these new resi
dents, who have come to: make
their homes here, might have ap
proximately the same benefits
that those who were residents
here at times of enlistment have
enjoyed and are enjoying?
The amendment proposed to
make the Interest rate i of the
loans to the newcomers four and
a half per cent, against the four
per cent charged on the ones to
the ( men and women who were
residents of Oregon when .they
enlisted. In that extra charge, the
loans to the newcomers would
have stabilized the whole mass;
rendered more certain a .profit
to the state In the ultimate' wind
ing up of the whole business. It
is evident now that there will be
no loss to the state on the bus
iness as it now stands.

There Is no good reason for
discriminating at all, even to the
