In saner moments even the politicians will admit that war debts are a big obstruction in economic recovery, will admit ..that some readjustment needs to be made particularly with England. But when orating on the floor of the congress these politicians are provincial to the core and declaim with sufficient loudness to be heard in the fastnesses of their own districts that not a jot or title of principal or interest may be abated from the solemn obligation. Pres. Hoover sees the realities of the situation and ST. PETERSBURG!. A plot was frustrated here yesterday to assassinate Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholalevlteh, the second cousin of Emperor Nicholas. The attempt was ascribed directly to the social revolutionary party. February 23. 102S The 3 2d legislative assembly of Oregon adjourned at 1:30 this morning after falling to reach as agreement on the consolidation bill through which the governor asked control of the banking de partment, fish commission and tax commission. The senate, however. accepted the new income tax bill, which will go to Governor Pierco for signature. Phil Bayes, featherweight box er of Salem, won a decision over Kewpie Riley of Portland there last night. Citizens of the so-called Freemen's league, however, were massing forces to repeal the cigarette reg ulation and all other "blue laws." New Views SALT LAKE CITY.

Now the job falls to Mr. Roosevelt. It may be a rock on which his administration ship will flounder.

"True temperance", what crimes are about to be com- mitted in thy name! .? Joaquin Miller, bono thief: S There are some lines la Barr Warner's book. "Joaauln Miner and His Other Self.- that tell ot nttia section of the life er tna "Poet of the Sierras' that changed his course from wild, reckless youth to aspirations sad endea vors leading to useful greatness. In part, they read: "In ISM 1 Tjslted Treks with Joaquin. The people gar aim great honor and aaa xnieresung anec dotes to tell about him la the days of 'IT. Every saloon claimed to have the Identical bullet that Joaquin tired at the sheriff . . It was claimed ho had stolen a horse and the sheriff was trying to capture him. . . "He (UUler) lived at Dead- wood, on Indian creek, for a while, and he also worked as cook for a Mr. Hurd. who lived on what is known as the Island section of Scott valley. Joaquin, with poetle justice, took a horse. because the man failed to pay him for his labor. Ho was pursued by the sheriff and his me, and made wild ride td MlllvUle, Shasta county, where ho left the exhaust ed horse he was riding la a cor ral, and took another horse be longing to Thomas Bass. .... w S S "A posse followed, recovered the horse, and brought Millar back and lodged him la the Jail at Shasta. In the middle ot the night an Indian girl came and sawed through the bars and lib erated him. "There ia no doubt that ho led a wild, tree life among the In dians and miners, and the settlers of the Shasta region, from 18 II to ISO. He also, during these years, made several trips to Mex ico, across the Colorado desert. and the poppy covered plains ot California. S "How did his wild life affect his creative work? How did It In fluence his character? S "In answer to a question I ask ed about his life in the Shasta re gion he plaintively replied, 1 could not have been a very bad man. I was less than IT years of age when I left this country.' w S "Soon after the Pit river mas sacre (of whites by Indians among whom Miller had lived but knew nothing of the massacre), Joaquin escaped from California and re turned to his parents la Oregon. A new personality dominated him. The change in him was radical and complete. He had arrived at the crossroads ot life and traveled both roads to the end. His delin quency from the high moral rules and regulations of society was no little detour. His physical self traveled a long, lone trail with death at the end and hie spirit nai self took a road that led to the start and his championshis of tne right. He was a real Sir Gala had. "The wUd life of the cabin, the wigwam and the camp was ellm mated, and he became a student In a classical college la which the president and the professors were of austere morals. (It was Co lumbia College, Eugene, the germ of the University of Oregon. The rim thing of Miller la nrlnt was the valedictory class poem la that college.) S "A new personality now dom inated him. He became the poet of his class, a student of the Bi ble, of Trench on Words, and of Shakespeare. The horse thief be came a teacher In a rural school, the cook became an editor, and the white renegade became a Judge. S "What brought about this "The Challenge of. Love" BgSct change? Perhaps his narrow es cape from death la the Pit river massacre. Perhaps his hereditary urge to peace, poetry and teach ing dominated nua as no eagea out of his underdone years. S "After teachlnr school tor a brief term la Clarke, Washington Territory, he studied law and was admitted to the bar la IS SI by George H. Williams, formerly mayor of Portland and ex-Attor ney General under President Grant. j "la 18SS. with Isaaa Mossman. ho established the Pony Express. Ho was known as the beet horse back rider in the country. The Pony Express was one ot the most pictures quo and ro maa tie feat urea la the development of the west. Joaquin rodo the Pony Ex press from MWersburg, Idaho, to Walla Walla, Washington. Ho rodo along some hlstorlo trail ot Lewis A Clark, the explorers of ISOS-lSOfl. (William Thompson, Governor Grovers mad-cap col onel of the Modoe war, then pub lisher of the Salem Mercury, now nearly 109 years old at hla homo la Alturas, CaL, was a rider for Miller Mossman.) It was a profitable enterprise. - "When ho and Mossman de cided to dissolve partnership It was done la the true western stylo. The gold dust was placed on a table, Joaquin separated It fa two parts, and Mossman was giv en first choice. Isaac Mossman. J9 years later, hunted up his old partner on The Hlghts (Miller's home at Oakland, California.) He held ont aa empty hand to Joa quin. Joaquin filled it. gave him a home, work and money. S xne money Joaquin accumu lated la the Pony Express he used to purchase a paper la Eugene, to pay off a mortgage on hla father's farm, and to marry Minnie Myr tle Dyer. Tne newspaper was sup pressed by the government Ho expressed la his editorials a Dies, for peace and sympathetic consid eration for our brothers south of the Mason-Dixon line. Since he was not permitted to Issue his paper, he moved to Canyon City S "Then he began to take himself seriously as a poet, and began the study f expression that led to tne production of the songs that made him famous. "The Indians in eastern Oregon tnreatened to exterminate the white settlers. The people elected josquin aa their captain, and he led a body of troops against the maians." .

D. r Regulating Small Loans rpHIS session of the legislature should not close without A correction of the loan shark evil. "While 3 a month seems to be an unholy charge for interest, that rate may be necessary to handle business of the small loanjdass. But surely there can be no excuse for the legalized robbery pre vailing in the class of loans falling below $30 where neither law nor conscience sets any limit Helpless victims of some of these agencies are kept in virtual peonage through pen alties and special charges. The presence of a large and pow erful lobby indicates the magnitude of the profits which these concerns are now taking from the Doorest classes in society.

Enlarged glands, when found la the neck, are often traced to aa in fection In the teeth, tonsils or ear. It may be associated with Infections ot the scalp or skin. An enlarged gland is a warning signal. It means aa In fection In some part ot the body. If the glands of the neck are swollen, it Ir probable the infection win be found In the head, face or neck.

Inspiration had failed him, and Flozanung, like many a heavy mas who finds it easier to use his handa than his head, would try to help his ideas to flow by fiddling with his knife or his fly-book, or with some mechanical crank he had in hand.
