Novelty vs. Stability
AS long ago as Solomon's time the philosopher found there
was nothing new under the sun. Alas, the coiner of
proverbs did not live in the fast moving 20th century when
change was the mainspring of human action. Until the world
slipped over the precipice some three years ago the tempo
was constantly being accelerated. New models, new designs,
iifcw ideas were tumbling out of brains and mills so fast that
people grew exhausted trying to keep up with the latest
things in dress, automobiles and perfumery.
Novelty indeed has its place. It prevents a culture from
growing stationary. It keeps blood flowing instead of con
gealing. But novelty pushed to extreme is devastating in its
effects on the mind. Life then becomes a process merely of
tasting and discarding. The craze for novelty has been costly
indeed in the world of business. When sales of an automobile
line commenced to slacken a bit, the manufacturer decided
to bring out a new model. Perhaps he merely altered the
paint or the cut of louvres on the hood, or added a new
gadget. But it was a "new"i model which tortnwitn maae
others of the make antiquated though they had as much ser
vice in them as the newer ones.
In the field of apparel change has been extremely costly.
The merchant for a decade has gone through a nightmare
of trying to guess the fickle fancy of the buying public. The
designers contrived some new style in footwear. The man
ufacturer and retailer invested heavily in the new pattern,
only to find it did not take; and nothing is such a dead loss
as something out of style. Or a line did find sudden favor,
but before the merchant could unload his stock the winds of
fancy blew in another direction. The same difficulty ap
plied to dresses: long skirts, short skirts, colors, fabrics,
everything a question mark, playing havoc with the whole
business organization from the producer of raw material to
the retailer.
Variety may be the spice of life; but one cannot well
live on cloves and cinnamon. He needs strength-giving foods
as well as condiments. So there is need for stability along
with'chanpe. The mood of the public should change from
the flutter for something different in glassware and in
shoes with each change of the moon, to more conservative
temper. There should be less craze for novelty and more re
Tr,i for thilitv. We have worn thin our ideas for things
new whether in movie plots, adjectives for advertisers, or
a i M A. nS4-i frtr I
colors for dress goods. At tne same time uui awuc
change is a bit jaded. So it is that now things which
are more substantial and more wholesome are having great
er popularity. Change of course is one of the laws of life;
but there is no need to keep the mind in a continuous whirl.
Decide the World Court Question
IT will be ten vears next February since the senate had
first submitted to it the question of our adherence to the
world court. In January seven years will have passed since
the senate laid down the conditions under which this coun
try would agree to come within the jurisdiction of the court.
These conditions generally have been approved, but for
three years the treaties involving ratification have been gath
ering dust while the senate gave its attention to other mat
ters. Whv not bring the question up for final decision at this
' hort session of congress? Few other legislative matters are
going to be considered. This question has been before the
country a long time; and a decision should be made with
out further delay.
The United States should affiliate with the world court.
It is" more than an empty gesture. It is an initial step in the
direction of world peace. It is founded not on the principle
of force either military or economic, as is the league of na
tions. It is not founded on the idea of arbitration which
often amounts merely to compromise. The world court is
erected to administer justice between nations, depending on
the potent influence of public opinion throughout the world
to give validity and weight to its decisions.
Senator Borah, chairman of the foreign affairs commit
tee, is the individual who is holding up the treaties and re-fnsino-
tn brine them out for consideration of the senate. Such
a procedure is unfair. The treaties should be brought out, de- j
bated, and passed on. This government snouia come to a unai
decision on the world court issue without further delay.
The congressional record has started coming again. No
improvement is noted in its make-up. Now to make it the
best read publication over the USA a new managing editor
should be engaged. Besides the dry reports of congressional
debates, there might well be added a society column, telling'
just who Mrs. Congressman Zoozybug had at her party and
why; a column or two of keyhole stuff which the hangers
on of the press gallery could write in off hours ; latest quo
tations on legation sherry and Virginia corn whiskey; re

"TKICHINOSIS" ta a big word ap
plied to a disease which fortunately

ly believed. Be
cause the treat
ment of this dis
ease la unsatis
factory, every
p r e c autlon
should be taken
to prevent its oc
currence. It enters the
body when con
taminated meat
is consumed. A
parasite, given
the name "tricbi
nella spiralis", ta
found in certain
animals, notably
the pis. It is
transmitted to man, chiefly through
the eating of contaminated pork.
The effects of the poisoning speed
ily occur. Within from three days
to three weeks after eating the in
fected meat, the afflicted person has
nausea, vomiting, intestinal cramps,
and diarrhea or constipation.
Sometimes the condition is mistak
en for typhoid fever. In a severe
caso bronchial and luns complication
may take place.
Rheumatism May Follow
n'.-overy occurs within ten days or
may bo postponed for ten weeks or
more. In some cases a severe form
of arthritis or rheumatism may fol
low the attack and persist for many
years.
Federal laws require rigid Inspec
tion of all meats. But "as yet. no de
pendable method of inspection has
been devised which makes certain the
detecUon of the parasite in pork.
For this reason all persons should be
warned to be careful of pork or
dishes containing pork unless prop
erly cooked.
When pork is thoroughly cooked It
may be eaten without danger. The
cooking of fresh pork should con
tinue until the meat becomes white.
Do not eat It if It is still red In color.
The center, as well as the edges of
the pork, should lose its reddish color
before it is ready for eating.
Curing is another method of mak
ing pork safe for consumption. Dry
alt-pork, pickled pork and Smoked
pork, previously salted or pickled, da
not contain the parasite. The curing
must be very thorough.
Trichinosis Is apt to be found In a
family or number of families, the
members of which have attended
soma festivity where Infected and un.
cooked pork has been served. Though
all may have partaken of the dis
eased meat, many escape Infection.
Not all persons who eat contaminat
ed meat wilt contract the disease.

Dawne was running on the demo
cratic ticket for superintendent of
public Instruction against Dr. L. L.
Rowland, candidate of the repub
licans. That was the initial cam
paign ot the kind, the reader has
perhaps noted, for the legislature
of 1872 had created the office, un
der a provision of the constitution,
the governor ot the state having
theretofore administered the du
ties In that connection so that
Dr. Rowland, having been success
ful at the polls, was the first to
hold, by election, that now Import

man In that station was Sylvester

Hoover for sparing us that. Incidentally we hope Roose

press will report it without charge (also without pay to -the'

in Yakima for nearly a quarter cfintnry and was one of the great

Judge Ben Hayden, though a
democrat, wag "off the reserva
tion" that year, with respect to
the tail end of the state ticket of
his party. He was against Dawne.
Now. Then E. J. Dawne first cam
to Salem, he posed as a lawyer.
Next he was a school teacher.
Then he became pastor of the
Southern Methodist church. After
that, ho posed as a healer, a doc
tor of a sort, when anyone might
hang out his shingle in that pro
fession without passing an exam
ination, as numerous pioneer fol
lowers of Aesculapius and Luke
did, with their saddle-bags filled
with pills and potions the knowl
edge, of the potency of which they
had come by from hearsay or the
casual reading of a book or were
woefully ignorant of it. Finally,
th,e Hon. Prof. Rev. Dr. Dawne
became a broker, and loaned the
money of numerous innocent and
unsuspecting people which be
came as "spurlos versenkt" (If
that is correct German for "lost
without a trace" we heard so
much of In the World war) as
funds lately Invested in South
American bonds more so, for
some of these now low priced se
curities will likely come to life
and pay out as much as 100 per
cent. Dawne paid back nothing, as
the sequel reveals. Probably he
never Intended to pay.
S S
Well, old Ben Hayden, In mak
ing a speech against Dawne, after
treating his audience to some
flourishes and trimmings that
were and are unprintable In a
family newspaper, called him "a
lawyer without a client, a teacher
without a pupil, a preacher with
out a pulpit, a doctor without a
patient, and a broker without a
dollar!" That, with the "Thooky
deeds" incident, when he thus
pronounced the name of Thucy
didee, Athenian historian, with
many repetitions. In a campaign
speech In behalf of his own candi
dacy these and ether things
blasted the candidacy of Dawne
and doomed it to defeat.
m
But he still posed as a demo
crat, and soon after nis first term
inauguration In 1885, the first
democrat to get by after the war
of the states. President Cleveland
appointed Dawne United States
commissioner to Alaska; a sort of
glorified justice of the peace In
the federal service. Dawne of
course accepted and started for
his post of duty end thereafter
he wag heard of or from no more.
He was, Indeed, spurlos versenkt.
What became of him, "the devil
only knows, and he wont ten."
His innocent mourners whose
money he bad spent, or taken with
him, were in sack cloth and ashes
for good and all. The mystery of
his disappearance remains such to
this day, without a shadow of ex
planation.

to withhold her name, that ahe re

careening, adding that if he were in
command ef 'the "Centner" at the
time of its eaptare, he woald have
outsailed and probably sank The

aa other.
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
"A ship that can be outsailed
may be sunk if the other is skil
fully and resolutely handled. In i
seafight mobility is all. To swing
into position swiftly, to loose
broadside, and to be off again, with
masts in line, showing the nar
rowest mark to your opponent, that
is the whole art of sea-fighting.
And this the Centaur could have
done, and would have done, had I
been in her master's place. I"ld have
turned and twisted about you like
a panther about aa elephant, tak
ing my chance to strike before ever
your barnacled keel would answer
the helm to ward the blow."
Leach shrugged contemptuously,
"Maybe ye would, and maybe ye
wouldn't. But whether ye would or
whether ye wouldn't, what's this to
do with our destination?"
"Aye," said the fiery-faced Ellis
"Let's hear something besides
boasting from you."
"YouTJ bear something- very un
civil from me, unless you practice
civility yourself," he was coldly
answered.
Leach smote the table with his
fist He roared, "Is it just to be

what's all this to do wr our destina

"Everything. What I've been say
ing is meant to show you that you
are ia no case to go into serious
action; and ye re not to make the
mistake of underrating the ships
or the men ef the plate fleet. They

give him time.
Sink me, man! Does thee think
I needs to be taught my trade?
"If ye refuse to careen, you'll
prove that you do."
That's what thee says. But
what thee says isnt gospel. With

To prove him wrong asrain. as de

drive Leach to entrench himself in
obstinacy, which is ever the last
refuge of a stupid man. "Whether

ta do it I'm not afeared enough of
any Spaniard afloat So leave that
out Let's come to-business now.
There's been enoueh idle talk.
What's our destination?"
For a long moment de Bernis
calmly considered him across the
table. Then he tossed off the punch
in his pannikin, pushed back his
chair, and rose.
Since ye're determined, that's
the end of the matter. To engage
cne piate neet with a ahin in the
foul state of the Black Swan is, as
I said before, to court disaster. And
that ia something I never court As
for your destination, you may make
it what yon please."
The three of them stared no at
him in stupefaction, incredulously.
reluctant to believe what he seemed
to convey.
"hat dye mean?" cried Ellis
at last
"That If Captain Leach chooses

"In my way, dost hear? In

"Ah? And if I refuse?"
"Yell maybe end on the yard

"So!" said de Bernis. He raised!

Insist that you shall take measures

what you will tell them?"
He watched the dark, arO face
before him; saw the expression
change; saw a lessening of the col
our glowing through his tan. Ht
looked at the other two. Ia the
face of Ellis ha saw a reflection af
the Captain's discomfiture. Bun
dry's looked almost distressed, snd
it was Bundry who spoke.
"When all's said. Captain, Bernis
isnt altogether wrong."
"I care nothing . . ." Leach was
beginning, rallying his obstinacy,
when Ellis interrupted him.
"We .have to care. Captain.
Scupper me! We have to. And
that's the fact What the devil!
Where's the sense o' quarrelling
when our interests are all the
same. Bernis wants to do his best
for us all as well as for himself.
What if his courage be less than
your own, Tom?"
"Caution isn't altogether a fault"
came from Bundry. "As a seaman
I know him to be right about the
state of the ship and the rest If we
was pressed for time, we might
take a chance. But since we've time
in hand, a' heaven's name let us
spend it in making her properly
seaworthy."
Thus Leach found himself aban
doned by his own officers, and by
this defection realized that at pres
ent it was de Bernis who held the
trumps. By the secret in his pos
session of the whereabouts of that
plate fleet be could constrain them
to his ways and they could use no
constraint with him.
He controlled himself. He stamp
ed down his anger, flung over it a
pretence almost of bonhomie.
"Aye, ye're right Where's the
sense o' quarrelling? I can admit a
fault It's the way ye goes about
things, Charley. -Thee's all quills
like a hedgehog. A' heaven's name,
sit down, and fill your can, and let's
sgree things friendly." He pushed
the jack of rum across, with a pro
pitiatory gnn. Then he sat down
again.
Monsieur de Bernis allowed him-
self to be propitiated. He per
mitted no faintest expression of
triumph to escape him. He inclined
hh. head a little, in acknowledg
ment, resumed his seat and poured
as he was invited.
"You agree, then, to careen?
That is settled?"
"Why, since' not only you but
Bundry here also thinks it's neces
sary, I suppose we must Though
frankly Pra not ' your ways o'
thinking. But there. . . . It's agreed,
yes."
"In that case." said de Bernis,
"the destination 1 came to discuss
with you, our immediate destina
tion, should be the Albuquerque
Keys. There's aa island there
Maldita uninhabited, and wall
known to me of old. with a cove ia
which you can hide a doxen ships,
and a long shelving beach that was
made for careening. There's not a
better place in all the Caribbean.
You can lie snug there, and nnsus
pected, and it's convenient for an
other reason. ..." He paused, rais
ing an impressive forefinger. "It
lies within an easy two days' sail
of the spot at which I mean to in
tercept the Spanish piste fleet"
