The National Guard
HOW much should Oregon spend on its national guard?
Some say, cut out the guard entirely, it never has been
called out for service except in one minor labor difficulty in
Portland. Others say, cut the guard in half. Still others would
make only a small reduction in its staff or expenses.
Undoubtedly the state could reduce its expenditures . on
the guard over what they have been for the past few bien
nims. But we want to call the attention of the public to the
fact that the guard is not stricly a local enterprise. It is part
of a national organization for defense.
In the old days the state militia was more of a dress-up
drill organization than a body trained for real fighting. De
pendence on raw militia has been disastrous to the nation
in most of the wars this country has engaged in. Washing
ton justly cursed the levies of militia which came to him
from various states, and with which he was supposed to
defeat the regulars of Great Britain.
The world war showed again the folly of unpreparedness,
and the great cost of raising and equipping great armies
overnight. Bryan's million men might spring to arms, but
they would be worthless without months of intensive training
before entering the front ranks. As a result of the war ex
perience the national government took a hand in the main
tenance and training of the national guard. No longer is it
merely a show organization with blue uniforms and guns
and bright swords. It is clad in service khaki, and trained
for the grim business of fighting. It is directly supervised by
the war department.
We live in a world of reality and the Japanese invasion
of China has shown the danger of deluding ourselves that
the era of permanent peace is at hand. An army of civilian
soldiers, well-trained, like the present national guard, is not
an incitement to militarism; and it is a bulwark of defense
in case of emergency.
The legislature should consider the support of the guard,
not merely for keeping up a body able to suppress violence
within our borders, but as a unit of a great reserve army
of the United States. By all means reduce the cost to lowest
levels. Cut out any trappings and excesses and frumpery, if
such there be; but remember that until war is finally and
actually abolished we must maintain a small regular army
and a vast body of reserves like the national guard.
Doe Licenses
COMES the time of year when the pooch must be provided
with a new brass Dlate on his collar to signify that his
master has made appropriate contribution to the county for
his survival another year. Otherwise on some dread day the
dog-snatcher will come round, and it's boloney for Fido or
Shen.
And the licenses this year are lower in cost, two dol
lars for female and one dollar for the male of the species.
That will be good news for boys who have to earn the license
fee for their net docs.
Just why should a license be required for a dog? Few of
those who nay the fee know what the money is used for. It
goes into a fund which is used to reimburse sheep-owners

as the story goes, to Denrer, In
honor of the gorernor of Kansas,
whence the Tabors hailed.

After several rounds 'of drinks.
Tabor was chosen mayor, by ac
clamation. Later he was told, on
the quiet, of a big strike neat

$100 a barrel. All the time ho was
prospecting, too; going out with
shovel, pick and pan. n a few
months he had washed out 17000,
the first of his vast fortune. The
fates laughed with him the day he
grub-staked two Hinknown Ger
mans for prorlsiona amounting to
$04.71. He was to recelre a third
of the profits. They looked for
gold found silrer. It netted Ta
bor orer a million. He became
mayor of Leadrllle, and postmas
ter, and county treasurer, still
running the store.
S S
He bought what was supposed
a salted mine -It turned out to
be the richest in the country;
made him twice orer a million
aire. Newspapers In the east be
gan to print stories about him,
using his picture. He was riding
the silrer wares. He wanted to
build a city; to be gorernor, may
be president. "Lincoln was onee
poor, and ran a store," he often
repeated.
S S
He donated lavishly to church
es. The town needed an auditor
ium; he hired a regiment of car
penters and in a month the Wig
wam, seating $000, rose next to
the O. K. saloon. He built an op
era house In Leadvllle; became
president of a bank, lieutenant
governor of Colorado. He was
ever after dubbed "gorernor."
The silrer millions multiplied.
b
On to Denrer. He decided to
build an opera house worthy of
the capital city. The Tabor Grand
arose cost, a million. Furnished
with all the splash and tinsel
money could buy. Tabor's prirate
office looked like a breakfast
room In the Palace of Versailles.
(The writer saw "Dr. Jekyl and
Mr. Hyde" played In the Tabor
Grand, In 1889. by its greatest In
terpreter. (What was his name?)
The Tabor Grand Is stUl Denver's
leading picture house. It was
once the finest theatre In Amer
ica; is yet one of the best in the
western half of the continent.)

Enter here Baby Doe, demure,
blonde divorcee of the mining
camps, coming into the life of the
modern Midas; the opening night
of the Tabor Grand. General
Grant was In the audience, sitting
in the gUded box of the builder.
Tabor slapped him on the back
and regaled him with tales of his
wealth. As Tabor rose from his
gilt chair to make his speech.
Baby Doe, seated in a box. lean
ed forward to catch his words. His
own wife wasn't there she could
not face the public humiliation of
being in the same house with
Baby Doe!
The bride of his youth, sharer
of the hard days of his upward
climb, was getting old; she lacked
the xest of the allurements of
Baby Doe. Tabor bought from the
Colorado legislature a 30-day
seat in the United States senate,
and bis public wedding in Wash
ington to Baby Doe was attended
by President Arthur as honor
guest.
W
He was riding high; erected a
palace for Baby Doe; built a great
hotel, to spite the owner of one
across the street who was not
kind to him and his new wife. He

loring, tried to help him In his
last, sad days. She died. Baby

Monsieur de Be mis sighed, and
smiled again, a little sadly. "So,
Prisdlla. There Is no more to say.
It is perhaps just as wan." He bant:
and kissed her. Ifrwas his Intention
to kiss her cheek; but she turned
her Hps fuDy to meet his own.
"Charles I " she said again. In
that low, anguished voice.
Monsieur de Berate stepped
hack, and wared te HaRiwelL The
corpulent shipmaster obeying the
signal picked her up in his arms,
and waded out to bestow her In the
stern-sheets of the waiting boat,
Then the Major and Pierre fol
lowed, swung each a leg orer the
aide, took their places en the
thwarts, and got out the sweeps.
The buccaneers gave the boat
forward thrust, and so she
launched upon her voyage, a little
white flag of truce fluttering In her
bows.
Monsieur de Bends stood with
the wavelets rustling at his feet
watehing the boat for a little
while. Priscilla did not look back.
She sat in the sternsheets, with her
shoulders to the shore, a little
crumpled figure in green. At last
he turned, and very slowly, with
his chin sinking into the ruffles at
his throat, he mored up the beach,
Bundry and Ellis following aha
with no word spoken.
In the longboat Prisdlla
softly weeping, so that at last
Pierre, who sat beyond the Major,
was mored to comfort her. He
spoke to her ever the Major's
shoulder.
"Mademoiselle," he begged her
la French, "do not weep. There is
no need. All will be well with Mon
sieur de Bernis. He knows what he
Is doing. Believe me, all will be
well with him."
"And, anyway," said the Major,
"it's no great matter if it isnt.'
Thus he expressed the bitterness
aroused in him by that little scene
ho had witnessed at the water's
edge. It provided a fitting, exasper
ating climax to all that he had
been constrained to endure ia this
past month. It was high time, he
thought, te restore things te their
proper places ia their lires, high
urns tnat rascuia snouid recover
the perspeetire which she ap
peared, from her latest conduct,
utterly to hare lost. The vision of
that kiss was something that
haunted the Major, and set his
memory shuddering with horror.
Roughly, then, did he attack the
business of correcting the focus of
Miss Priscffla's mental sight.
His words certainly had the im
mediate effect of checking her
tears. Momentarily, at least, her
concern, anxiety, and grief were
overcome by indignation. From a
white, tear-stained face her eyes
biased as they encountered the
Major's.
"What do you dare te say?" she
asked him, with such scornful an
ger that ho would not hare had the
De Bends sighed, and smiled agate, a Uttie saaVr. "So, Priscflla.
There is no mere te say. It is perhaps just as welL"
temerity te repeat his words even
if she had given him time. "Is that
how yoa speak of a man who has
placed himself ia danger, who has
pledged his very life to ensure our
safety, to provide us with a means
of escape?"
The Major, meeting resentment
with resentment, answered sullenly.
"I doat perceive that at alL Stab
me if I do."
"Ton dont? Then yoa are even
more stupid than I have been sup
posing you."
"Priscmat" He stopped rowing
in his unutterable stupefaction.
Pierre's oars, sweeping rhyth
mically forward, struck his ov
suspended ones, and jarred him
unpleasantly, and almost knocked
him off his thwart But he paid lit
tle heed to that. Recovering his
balance mechanically, he sat with
fallen jaw and goggling eyes, star
ing incredulously at this fledgeling
who had dared to say such a thing
to him. It was the end of the world.
unry tne reauaanoa tnat, over
wrought, she was not responsible
for her words enabled him to eon
done it. He smiled with the patient,
exasperatingiy indulgent amuse
ment of noble minds.
-now rasa yoa are in your con
clusions! Ton display the intoler
ance of youth and inexperience."
"Better than the mean intoler
ance of age from which you appear
to De susenngv sir."
This was a cruel thrust under
the Major's guard. But, having re
covered from one stupefaction, he
waa now prepared for anything. In
the same Indulgent tone he con
tinued.
"This pirate fellow Is using us
for his own ends. If you can't see
that, you must be purblind, Pris
cilla. Consider the terms of the
message . . ."
There ia nothing to consider but
what he is doing. No perversity,
no meanness, can change the ap-
peaxaace ox UlK. at nas SAd no
thought but to deliver us. It is
noble of him. It justifies all my
steaay isatn in aim.
The Major permitted himself to
laugh at this. Looking at his face,
distorted by that sardonic hilarity,
she considered it the most repul
sive she had ever seen.
"Noble I" he mocked, and went on
to explain his point of view. Thai
nobility is rooted in concern for his
own skin. Finding himself caught
uus taievmg pirate nopes to mass
terms; and he counts himself lucky
to have us under his hand, so thai
he may send us with his message
mars nis nooury, as you anas
see, child."
From behind him came the gea
tie voice and the imperfect Englisl
of Pierre.
"If Monsieur de Bernis eeeapt
himself from tls, he shall be to!
what a rood ocinion you 'ave as
him."
"Why, so he ahaUl I shall tal
him so, myself," the Major snorted
in fresh anrer at this fnrthei
opposition.
Ill-humouredly he bent to the
oars again, and after that an angry
silence reirned In the boat. Prta.
