NOW the papers tell of hunger marchers who have left Oregon .and are as .far as Pocatello, Idaho, on their way to Washington city. The nucleus of the hunger army or iginated in Astoria. It was Oregon, you recall, that gave the 6tart to the ill-fated and much-publicized "bonus army" which came to such a calamitous end in Washington and Johnstown,i--calamitous, that is, to the reputation of Secre tary Hurley. ; . Why, one wonders, should Oregonians stir up the trou ble? If there is any state which can "hole in"during a sea son of industrial depression it is Oregon. In the valleys food and fuel are abundant; and on the coast, as we recall from the 90's, "when the tide is out the table is spread" and the appetites rise and fall with the ocean tides. Here suffering is at a minimum. Winters are mild. There is plenty of water ; wood grows abundantly. Yet it was a restless and dissatisfied group Of Oregonians who trucked their way across the con tinent to make shivers run down the spines of men in high government position. And now it is Oregon which is the starting point for a fresh column of discontent threatening a new siege of Washington. I Probably the sole reason these groups start in Oregon is because there is no state farther west. Those who remain behind, however, are shedding few tears over the depar- i tare, though they hope the country will not feel that all our I people are that way. Let's Have a Row TTOW long has it been since Oregon has had a bang-up I JUL row in the military? Not in a long time. Usually it j is as good as a row in a church choir for getting the com i munity split in two. Considering the fact that the dove of peace is fluttering about the council table of the state board of control; and the mayor and city council are watching the year die peacefully; and the zoning commission hasn't tramp ed on any one's toes; and the legislature will not meet till January, the season would seem appropriate for airing trou bles in the national guard. There seems to be some mischief afoot there, in truth. A colonel has been deposed; and a, national guard colonel doesn't like to be stripped of his sword and medals any more than an admiral in the navy. The colonel and the colonel's friends ? are getting into print and saying things. The general who runs the show is adding to the mystery by denying reports. All of this provides the ingredients for a non-sham battle. The public may be side-line spectators ig norant of what it was all about even when it is all over. V For a war machine our militia has been altogether too peaceful. Promotions have come without prying the corner stone loose on the state capitol. Maybe it is time for the pot to boil over. If it does, and it resembles other squabbles within the military over rank and position there will be some hot scalds. An Irresponsible Government? FOREIGN nations have addressed communications to this government, regarding payments on their debts to this country. It is doubtful if their inquiries will receive a def inite answer due to the unwillingness of any person or de partment to take responsibility. We have at the present time an interreenum in covernment. " . Pres. Hoover, realizing , asked President-elect Roosevelt, to 'confer with him on the . subject. Boosevelt, while accepting the invitation, will de cline to touch the"hot poker. He will look pleasant, make no commitments, 'and go his way to the baths of Warm Springs, ueorgia. congress a year ago iiea we nanus 01 us auuuu-IftfrnHoii- and will nrobablv merely sidestep the issue now, : So win the ambassadors call . toidTonreiy tnax tne man mey want w see a uui ui MTiforonho' nr to come back after March 4th. ' It is unfortunate that our foreign relations dealing with such a critical matter are so indefinite. We lose prestige when our government is not able to dive clear response to , questions of this character. If the "lame duck" amendment passes, the time of such interregnum will be shortened by two months. ; r; ' Publicity Palls "IRETA GARBO, the glamorous figure of the movie world X complains of the misery she suffered on a' noliday in Paris and London, forcing her to return to Sweden for sol itude. She was "persecuted' meaning, it is presumed that her comings and goings were checked by the curious and by : the news reporters and photographers, much, as the Lind- - berghs were beset on. their honeymoon. It is the price they pay. Creatures of publicity, which has exploited them ex travagantly, they come to feel these very agencies of public ity are demons which, pursue them. When folk bid for fame , wb$h rests on mass publicity, they must be prepared to Csacrice the privacy which attends the obscure. For most of them the, misery will not lojtg, continue. Public fancy is fickle; and the crowd which presses close upon one today, may be hastening after some new celebrity on the morrow. Garbo and Lindbergh will soon have -scant current newa value; and then they, may wonder where their crowd has gone. c I " Clearing the Title THE "opinion" of Attorney General Van Winkle validating "the. exercise of gubernatorial functions by Frank Lon ergan, speaker of the 1931 house, sounds like it was written with his tongue In lus cheek. In. further Justification he might have added that Frank is an able fellow with beam ing personality fully competent to hold down the job for two weeks or four years; nd since nobody object let him be the interim governor. , ; Seriously however, the legislature should dear up the "cloud oa the title" by defining the term of the president of the senate and sneaker of the bouse aa continninir nntil their successors are elected r no (question as to the eligibility of either to serve as gov ernor In the period between the biennial election tnd the convening of the neweltslatnroCr: r that his tenure is soon to end, for their answers they will be and qualified.

"When one considers that I was christened at the organization of tho church, united with the church at tho ago of 11, and passed over It years of my early life in this church homo, It would be passing strange it I did not love and cher ish, its hallowed walls, its sacred memories!

He came to join them on tho poop. Tho Major was disposed to re gard bis advent as an unbidden in trusion. But Miss Priscilla's eyes gleamed a welcome to the courtly Frenchman; and w h s n she moved aside invitingly to tho head of tho day-bed, so as to make room for him to sit beside her, Major Sands most mask his vexation as best he could in chill civilities. Martinique by now was falling hazily astern, and the Centaur under a full spread of canvas was beating to westward with a lar board list that gently canted her yellow deck. Monsieur do Bernis commended tho north-easterly breeze in terms of one familiar with such matters. They were fortunate in it, be opined. At this season of the rear, tho prevailing wind was from tho north. He expressed tho further opinion that if it held they should oo off Dominica before tomorrow's dawn. Tho Major, not to bo left behind by Monsieur do Bernis in tho dis play of knowledge of Caribbean matters, announced himself aston ished that Captaia Bransome should be patting in at an island mainly peopled by Caribs, with only an indifferent French settle meat at Roseau. Tho readiness of the Frenchman's answer took him by surprise. Tor freights in tho ordinary way I should agree with you, Ma jor. Roseau would not bo worth a visit; but for a captain trading on bis own aeconnt it can be very pro fitable. This, you may suppose to bo the ease of Captain Bransome." The accuracy of his surmise was revealed upon the morrow, when they lay at anchor before Roseau, on too western side of Dominica. Bransome, who traded in partner ship with his owners, went ashore for a purchase of hides, for which he had left himself abundant room under hatches. He knew of some French traders here, from whom he could buy atJialf the price he would have to psy in Martinique or els. where; for the Caribs who slew aad flayed the beasts were contest with infinitely less than it cost to pro curs and maintain the Negro slaves who did the work in the mors es tablished settlements. . Sines the loading of tho hides was to delay them there for a day or two. Monsieur ds Bernis pro posed to his fellow passengers an excursion to the interior of the island, a proposal so warmly ap proved by Miss Priacilla that it was instantly adopteu room?" is the burning question now. By a rote of 366 to 242 the student body yesterday voted that sueh attire was not legal.

"If it vers otherwise." bo eon- eluded, "the whole ship's company would not suffice to protect us, and I should never have proposed the jaunt." Priacilla rode that day between her two cavaliers; but it was tho ready-witted de Bernis who chiefly held her attention, until Msjor Sands began to wonder whether tho fellow's remarkable resemblance to bis late Majesty might not extend beyond his personal appearance. Monsieur de Bernis mads it plain, the Msjor thought, that bo was en dowed with the asms gifts of spon taneous gallantry; and the Major was vexed to perceive signs that he possessed, something of King Charles's attraction for tho oppos ite sex. His alarm might havs gone con siderably deeper but for the sooth ing knowledge that la a day or two this long-legged, gipsy-faced inter loper would drop out of their lives at Saints Croix. What Miss Pria cilla could discern in the man, that ane snouid bestow so much of her attention upon him, the M n i o r eould not imagine. As compared with bis own solid worth, the fellow was no better than a shallow frib ble. It was inconceivable that Pris eilla should be dazzled by his pinch beck glitter. And yet, women, even the best of them, were often, he knew, led into error by a lack of discernment. Therefore it was mat ter for thankfulness that this ad venturer's 'contact with their own lives was destined to be so transi ent If ft were protracted, the ras eal might become aware of the great fortune Miss PrisciUa bad in herited, and undoubtedly ho would find in this sa incentive to exert all the arts of attraction which such a fellow might command. That he was an ad venturer Ma jor Sands was persuaded. He flat tered himself that he could read a Kan at a glance, and his every in stinct warned him against this saturnine rascal. His persuasions were confirmed that very evening st Roseau. On tho beach there, when they had relinquished their ponies, they earns upon a burly, elderly, rudely clad Frenchman, who reeked of rum and tobacco, one of the traders from whom Captain Bransome was purchasing his hides. The man halted before them as if thunder struck, and stared in round-eyed wonder at Monsieur de Bernis for a long moment Then a queer grin spread a p o a his weather-beaten face, he pulled a ragged hat from a grizzled, ill-kempt head, with a courtesy rendered ironical by ex aggeration. Major Sands knew no French. But the impudently familiar tone of the greeting was not to be mis taken. "(Test bien tot, de Bernis? Far dieu! Je no eroyais pas te revoir." De Bernis checked to answer him, and his reply reflected the other's easy, half-mocking tone. "Et toi, mon drole? Ah, ta fais Is marc hand do peaux maintenant?" Major Sands moved on with Miss Priacilla, leaving de Bernia in taTk- with his oddly met acquaintance.
