So while great minds ponder over how to ameliorate the lot of millions who ar 3 starving, the packed gallery cackles and VVcheers and grows hoarse shouting for beer. It may be pro phetic of the campaign to follow,- although we think the Chi- cago mob who crowded the galleries of both, conventions Is no cross section of the American public. 1 At least thers is no hypocrisy about the democratic platform. It does not try to straddle. What is gives is booze. It is not satisfied with mere resubmission ; it endorses RE PEAL. It is not satisfied with awaiting the repeal by con stitutional processes; it demands immediate amendment of the Volstead act to permit the sale of wines and beer. The country will not mistake the meaning of the democrats. They stand for repeal ; they stand -for quick license of sale of booze; they stand for restoration of the legalized liquor traf fic. . 'The spectacle at Chicago will excite the enthusiastic , acclaim of the liquor interests, by the return of saloons whether under that name or under another, of those who want abundant liquor to consume. The democrats have definitely gone wet and the pious phras ing of promise of of fort to restrain the return of the saloon does not conceal the 'fact. They have gone wet, and in so doing they alienate millions of men and women who are dry, thousands of moderates who dread the return to power of the distillery-saloon political gang, millions of women who have vivid memories of the cost of liquor in their homes and "of suffering find heartaches , which it entailed. v On the question- of prohibition there is a difference be tween the republicans and the democrats. The democrats have turned their party over directly to the liquor crowd; . the republicans have made concessions, but they refused to abdicate and endorse the return and re-enthronement of the booze interests. i . Insofar as the liquor question is the dominant one in this campaign (which it ought not to be because there are others which are graver) the wets know where to go; the dries should know where NOT to go. Collect the Licenses ' THE state is being treated to a renewal of contentiousness ' between the governor and the secretary of state. Gov. Meier's plan was all busted open Monday when Sec. Hoss asked the attorney general about its legality, which was certainly a useless question since any, intelligent person would know it was illegal. Hoss now waves his arms rather frantically to indicate, that he will give easy terms on motor . licenses and the governor vents his customary peevishness in condemning Hoss for writing the attorney general. The whole thing could have been avoided if the offi cials had, done their sworn duty and proceeded under the law as written. Now the whole business is a mess. Those who have paid want their money back; those who haven't paid will drive merrily along thumbing their noses at the law. Some will get a license if they can for three months and lay the cars up' after that. Others will slide along under vari colored stidcers and perhaps get out of paying a quarter or "half year's license. Meantime the state highway commission which is prodded to provide more work for unemployed will find its treasury running low and may be forced to suspend work. People will not pay until they liave to pay; but when ! they have to pay 90 of them will jungle up their motor li cense money. Our own cash is right about the minus point; but if we do not have the money we can lay the bus in the shed until we get enough to operate it legally. - The better course would have been to make no official concessions, and let the state police follow the practice of former years to warn delinquent motorists for some days before beginning arrests. ! - , It is plain to see that this fiasco this year spells the doom of motor licenses. Might s wciLcut the fee down to a nominal sum and jack up the gas tax which people pay as they go and think nothing of It The Man for the Job f WHEN some months ago The Statesman urged the ap pointment of Dr. W. J. Kerr as chancellor for the high er educational institutions of Oregon the response was in the highest degree favorable from all sections except Eugene where friends of the university denounced the idea in no un certain terms. Now well authenticated report is to the effect . that Dr; Kerr is to be named, and further that the university has changed its attitude toward him. Statements from Eu gene are iri fact quite cordial to the proposal; all of which makes one wonder if this is a "deathbed repentance;" Regardless of the hidden causes which seemingly have eventuated in the selection of Dr. Kerr for chancellor, the state may well rejoice in his designation. Dr. Kerr is one of the greatest educational executives in the United States, which the icouting committee found out when they went east to pick a chancellor. With his ability to command, and his knowledge .of Oregon's "needs and. conditions the board . should look no farther. i So far-as the interests of institutions other than Ithe '.state co lie ere are concern Arl w )wnM amo n treat them with the greatest of fairness. He is a builder and will build institutions and men and women for the ser vice of the whole state. We are positive the university peo ple can repose fuUiaith in Dr. Kerr; and that the univer sity will thrive under his masterly leadership. We do not an ticipate that Dr. Kerr win take any part in the fight over the Proposed initiative. He has kept strictly out of it and would doubtless continue such a policyy confining his ef forts to the work Immediately In hand, leaving to the people, the legislature or the board, decision as to matters of state policy. . . . - --.. -' '- :x s.. .-(..- . . - ...-.-... , - Tkf I A. nnrs reveals the fact that David (Iron Van) Hatton na a limp too.

Mr. Barker reported having called on Prof. S. A. Randle, who Uvea at 809 Upper Drive, Port land, with his daughters. He said that ProL Randle is now 92 years of age but still remembers many of the class, i "When the class roll was called the following 23 reported present: (Maiden names only of the girls are used.)

Flynn studied the message du biously. "Trace the manufacturers of the paper and ink after that the re tailers," instructed Colt, and Flynn nodded gravely. They sell this sort of cheap stuff all over town," he said, "but of course if we find a shop in this neighborhood Til get right to it." Colt now called for Doctor Bald win. "Doctor," be began, "some re marks have led me to believe that you had some personal differences with Lola. Is that correct?" The array-haired and atbletJe nhv. sldan looked only slightly taken, aback. "It Is true," he admitted, "that we disagreed. But it was only be cause she did not like the treat ments I recommended. For the last few weeks I hav seen little of her." Colt seemed hardly to hear Doc tor Baldwin's reply for the door of the guest-room had opened. Doe tor Multooler, in his shirt-sleeves, stood in the doorway, waiting to give his report te the Commis sioner. With a glance that bade the As sistant Medical Examiner to wait, Colt turned abruptly back to Doe tor Baldwin. "Good-night," he -said in a brit tle voice. I shall let you know when we shall be needing you. Please hold yourself in readiness." "Willingly" returned Doctor Baldwin with a weary glance at the Commissioner. In alienee he took his leave. Still Colt did not turn te the Medical Examiner. Instead, he spoke to Flynn.

"Now, what is the verdict, doc tor?" he queried eagerly. "Mr. Commissioner." said the As sistant Medical Examiner. "I feel positive this girl did not die from poison, uz course this is only a preliminary srueaa. Bat ovarvtbinr looks natural.

"But look!" cried Thatcher Colt, his voice deen with horror. "Thla body is soaking wet through the dothes to the skin. Where in God's. name has it been kept?"

Following the hypo given her by Doctor Baldwin, a dase had come mercifully over Mrs. Carewe, For about half aa hour she had slept peacefully ia her own room. Then she woke up fretfully and insisted on going: Into her daughter's room. Miss Lox had agreed to this whim. The old wo man had gone to the door, accom panied by Miss Lox. Together they had entered the room and to gether made their frightful dis covery of the body on the floor. The next ten minutes in that haunted pennonse were as full of action as a machine gun.
