Appraising P' is Interesting to see how reputations are being made or deflated in these tense days of readjustment. Twelve years out of power, badly disorganized, the democratic narty would naturally be supposed to equipped leadership. True they oil than the republicans. Herbert Hoover was quite alone in his party which was hopelessly riven between the moribund eastern leadership of Moses, Watson. Tilson. et al.. and the recalcitrant westerners, LaFollette and Norris, und so weiter. On the whole Roosevelt did a pretty good job in assembling his staff of co-workers. Right now it is being swelled con siderably by the generals and colonels who are called in for special service under the recovery program. The brain trust is also a sort of rival to the regular cabinet. Thus far the president has been able to smooth out the friction success fully, although the clashes have Checking over the showing months the results are interesting. Move Harold Ickes up into king-row. He is one progressive who is applying a clean philosophy of government as telligent way. His deleting of dam was a breach of taste that ness.

And he has been able to elbow Jim Farley off from making his interior department a pie-counter for democrats. Sec.

School Bonds WE are ready to go on record now as opposing a pro posed bond issue of over $200,000 for construction of school buildings. Were Salem in immediate need of these buildings there would be justification for going into debt because of the good deal which may be made with the gov ernment. But Salem is not in pressing need of additional school facilities. As a matter of fact if boundaries were re arranged the district would be able to dose one or two grade schools. Washington school which has cared for as high as 700 students, now has around open chiefly because the people who live in that neighbor hood do not want their children to walk, down to Lincoln. i 'I Leslie junior high needs are able to lick Parrish half so they can get along awhile f i At the senior high it is ' tolmild an annex. But we must of free transportation may cut down the senior high enroll inent next year. It is a big plant and handles its large en . rollment very well." . ? -The Washington school pot a fire-trapu.lt is substantially constructed, commodious ; and can give excellent service for years to come. Its wide balls and stairways make it safer than other plants with narrow halls and stairways even though they have brick Walls. It does not need immediate replacement. X Such a bond issue as is proposed will increase the tax levy at a time .when the pressure has been to reduce it. If there is more money available we favor giving the teachers a fairer wage rather than putting the money into new build ings. It is a mistake to jump at the' bait of a bonus from the government when the plants are sot needed. The bonded debt of the district is low; but the warrant debt has gone up to nearly $200,000, chiefly because of un ' paid taxes. Why then add to the tax burden with its danger ous delinquency ? ' So far as making work is concerned that is a matter deserving consideration.

HENDRICKS- History of care of the insane: a forward look: In view, of the dark past, the comparatively recent great im provement, and the possibilities in a forward look, there will in the next few days be. printed in this column the words of an address of Dr. R. E. L. Steiner, superin tendent of the state hospital, at a meeting a few yeara ago of the State Medical society, in Portland. It begins: " "In the early history of the hu man race insanity was not recog nized. However, as we read the history of the early days we have ho trouble In recognising certain types of mental disorders. "It would appear that Nebu chadnezzar was insane. To quote from the book of Daniel: "Neb uchadnezzar 'wis driven from men. and did eat grass as oxen. and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles feathers and his nails like bird claws. And at the end of the days, I. Nebuchad nezzar, lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me. Saul was gov erned by a bad spirit and melan choly disposition. He attempted to take the life of the young ooy, ua vid while he was playing on the harp for him. S "Epilepsy was not recognized as a disease, but was attributed to demoniacal possessions. The Bible states that in the day of const through his miracles many, evil spirits were cast out of human be Inzs. "Mohammed was an epileptic. as was Julius Caesar, also Napol eon Bonaparte, although it is Questionable whether either. . , was Insane at any time during his career. "JuVTus Caesar was becoming mentallv deteriorated, as he was developing grandiose delusions in his last days, believing that he was divine and attempting to con vlnce Cleopatra that she was i direct descendant of the goddess Venus. "It seems possible that the apos tie, Paul, was an epileptic, as he spoke of his Infirmity, the thorn in the flesh. In torn early days when superstition ruled the world the insane.were looked upon with a' great deal of reverence or fear. They were' supposed to be under the Influence of witches, these witches having the ability to transform themselves into beasts or to assume wished. s any form they It Is probable that Bethlehem, or Bedlam hospital, which was es tablished near London in 1247, was the nrst . rnstltutlon to careH for the Insane. The treatment was very cruel and inhuman. John of Goddesten, court physician to Ed ward II, about 1X20, used a . magic necklace for the treatment of ep ilepsy. In 140S patients were per manently received is the old Bed- lam asylum from a building known as the atone house, Char ing Cross, la this transfer we have the following, description: V "a V There was a clanking of chains, . and the swish ot a whip, volleys-of violent abuse and ap palling.. blaspheming, peals ot rib ald laughter from the roistering mob. and the threats of the spear men to the mudslingers.' -.Such perhaps may have been the scene! when patients from the tone- house passed into an insUtutlenJ forever associated with the keep ing and healing of the diseases of brain and nerve. The-placing of Inane patients Inside ot a church . or cathedral aad making them remain over - MJCaSh VWtaerrtf iWI In tdrVt pMLCft,T3Lti,5??tlk. sible way, was a common form of treatment- It was thought the sa- credness of the surroundings had tendency to drive out the evil spirits from the afflicted one. "The ducking of maniacs and the use of whips and ligatures were supposed to exhaust their fury and instill into them that sense of terror which tames a wild beast. 'The mad Henry, ' of Fordwich, was dragged by his friends to the tomb of the chapel with his hands tied behind him, struggling and yelling.- and there remained all day; but began to re cover as the sun went down, and, after a night spent in the church. returned home perfectly well in his mind.' "In Pepys' diary It i stated that Charles II threatened to send some, of his courtiers, as well as his mistress, to Bedlam, especially Nell Gwyn, when she threatened to throw her two illegitimate sons from the window of her apart ment unless that merry monarch would publicly acknowledge them to be his own.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN Lucky was beginning to feel easier now. The theory sounded oerfectly plausible, and Mnlrooney teemed ia the mood to swallow it entirely. The clear blue eyes of the detective were aa unsuspecting as a child's. "IH admit that you've explained your connection with the case very well, said Mnlrooney in us siow contented voice, "There's only one or two things yet that I don't un derstand. Cavanaugh. . . . Why are von and Miss Luneska lying to me? - - .... Fm a little hurt because you tunic Pm so dumb. Sight after we found the body and discovered the rob- berv. I naturally talked to K.aux- mann, the manager of this theater. He identified the dead man as the fellow that you. Cavanaugh, and himself brought up to this office a bird that wanted to talk to Miss Luneska. Kanf mann said something about blackmail. If you're going to lie to me, Cavanaugh, why drat you rig up something that's worth while? Isn't it the truth that Miss Luneska sent yon back here to settle with that dead man and you did settle with him?" Leni Luneska sat stark ttffl and white in her chair. She was as mo tionless as though her heart had stopped beating. Her white bosom was still and breathless. A sicldsh feeling developed in the region of Cavanaugh's solar plexus and spread through his en tire body. His deeper sen shocked with astonishment that his cool mechanical brain had betrayed him. In the past he had been just! fied hi setting a high value on his own mental adroitness, but some thing new something unaccount ably mysterious had stolen in upon him and conflicted with his powers of thought. A subtle mental narcotic had got ten into him and drugged his in telligence. He could hear his thoughts talk ing silently. They, were saying. "I've ruined, everything. I am an Idiot.

Calllster as msnager of the Albany branch of First National bank, which was said to come as a complete sur prise to his many friends. Is of considerable interest at Silverton, as Mr. Calllster was for several years cashier, ot the Coolldge A McClalne bank at Silverton, re signing in 1920 to accept a po sition in San Francisco with; a federal bank. Later Mrv Calllster moved to Albany 'where, he ' has been vice president of the First National bank of Albany for soma years. For the past several weeks he has been conservator of the closed First National bank ot Albany, and it was presumed would re main with the Institution nntll sold or liquidated. His appoint ment means he will resign the conservatorship. It was while Mr. Calllster lived at Silverton that he built the home, one of the most lovelyof the larger homes on Coolidge street, which Is now owned by Mr. and Mrs. George Hubbe. Overton Declare.

It was the truth. The effect of Leni Luneska upon his senses had addled him, had set in motion the unguessed powers of emotion that had overwhelmed his common intelligence. Even now he could scarcely realize how com pletely yet how secretly the strange force was at work within him. He was as stunned as every man is who comes upon the realization that some particular woman has wrecked all his native shrewdness. He had no resentment against Leni. : Indeed, he felt an actual stab of remorse for what he had let her in for. His face was burning with the' shame of a man who understands he has bungled completely. "Did you kill that man?" Mnl rooney asked him abruptly. 1 did not, Cavanarrgh returned. To his own ears the words had a hollow sound. "WeB, maybe you didnV Mnl rooney said. "I can tell you this, though if you ever go before a jury, the odds are tea te one against you." Cavanaugh was fully aware that his situation was desperate. MuIrooBey'a words rang; with truth. If he ever went before a jury the odds against -hint would easily be ten to one. It made It clearer to him to state the odds in gambling terms. The percentage against Leni Luneska was inlnitely greater a hundred to one that she would be dragged' through the mud of ex posure. The only thing that stood be tween the both of them in calamity was the inadequate organ called a brain between Lucky Cavanaugh a throbbing temples. "The simplest thing to do," Mnl rooney said easily, "ia for both of you people to tell the truth. It would be a novelty that would save us all a lot of trouble."

Why don't you take a chance and come dean?" In all of his experience Lucky Cavanaugh had never before been driven into a corner. It was a stifling sensation. The truth, pos sibly, might get him out of trouble, but it would blast Leni Luneska, In the past be had always pul himself first with a frank, good- natured selfishness. But now he wat thinking about somebody else about a woman. ' But not exactly thinking. He was feeling. The only thing that could save him was his instinct and intuition that blind streak of fata and for tune that had given him the name of Lucky.

Slowly the dark ides was forming in his raiad that it would be necessary for him to take the whole burden of everything upon his shoulders in order to ex culpate Leni completely.
