i ' Two Governors
AFTER the San Jose lynchings Gov. Rolph of California
who had refused to call out the national guard to de
fend the prisoners, commented thus:
"That was a fine lesson to the whole nation. . . They made
' good job of it. It anyone is arrested for the good Job I'll pardon
. them all .... I am thinking of paroling any kidnapers to those
fine patriotic citizens of San Jose who know how to handle the
situation."
Contrast this-with the recent message of Gov. Albert C.
Ritchie of Maryland to the legislature of his state :
"Recently a deplorable lynching occurred in one of the
counties of the state, which followed a similar happening in an
other county about two years ago. There had been nothing of
, this kind In Maryland for twenty years, but these two occurren
ces in a state which has always prided itself on its respect for
law and justice, shocked the people profoundly.
"Perhaps I need not dwell further at this particular moment
and before this assemblage upon the criminal angle of the esse,
' bat it is Tital that the people of the stateshould feel assured that
eTery possible legislative step is being "taken to guard against
the possibility of any repetition of such an occurrence, and to re
- more as far as may be any doubt as to the care and safety of
prisoners jwhoare in the custody of the law."
ThtfTnflanraiatory remarks of Gov. Rolph have served
to unleash mob passions. In Missouri a negro was lynched
by a mob which numbered 7000 persons. In Maryland where
Gov. Ritchie is endeavoring to enforce the law a mob clashed
with guardsmen and threatened newsmen, when troops re
moved four persons accused of participation in the recent
brutal lynching at Princess Anne. "
It also develops that those "fine patriotic citizens" of
San Jose were not students of Santa Clara university, but
recruits from the speakeasies rounded up by an 18-year old
youth who went about the town announcing a lynching at
11 o'clock.
Gov. Ritchie endorsed to the legislature of his state re
forms recommended by a special commission looking to the
making of justice in the courts swift and certain ; and at the
same time tightening the responsibility of sheriffs for the
safe custody of prisoners.
For the moment Gov. Ritchie will come in for censure
especially in his home state; but in the long run his course;
is the only one which can serve to maintain public order.
Gov. Rolph has justified resort to base passions, the submit
ting the administration of justice to drunken mobs. The con
trast is favorable to the Maryland executive.
The Virtue of Humility
TTTHAT, one may ask, is there to be thankful for this year?
i f T Hardships still dog human pathways. Many still live
on the verge of starvation. Hundreds more who have held
their heads up in a gallant battle against want show the
strain. Their faces are lined with care; shadows have fallen
across their former vivacity. Others who were numbered
among gentler folk have been reduced to cramped situations
in which most of them are showing fine forbearance.
If perchance people are not full of gratitude today, sure
ly they have acquired one of the greatest of virtues, humil
ity. As folk have seen castles reared bv their hands crumble
to ruin, the first feeling of bitterness changes to one of hu
mility. The arrogance which attended the steps of men who
lauded themselves as successful a few years ago, has pass
ed away. Instead there is recognition that man after all is
an impotent creature in the face of circumstance. Even as
the finest ship that sails the seas may be thrown on rocks in
the teeth of the storm, so the individual no longer feels so
domineering, so impregnable in his position.
Were we preaching a Thanksgiving sermon today it
would not.be filled with thanks for food and for shelter and
for raiment: but it would be taken from the text in Amos
which Theodore Roosevelt loved to quote, "Walk humbly
with thy God". In moments of defiance man may say "I am
the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul". But in
seasons of sorrow and adversity this self-pride fades ; and in
its stead comes the feeling, not of impotence, but of health
ful humility. Blessed indeed are the poor, not in goods and
wares, but the poor in spirit, for it is given to them to see
God".

lence pauses her to stay. Dorothy
leaves.
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
They entered the living room.
Patricia sat down, feeling weary
and flat and forlorn. Dorothy Lnray
had spoiled everything. Harerholt
stood in the middle of the room,
looking at her.
"You were an awfully rood
sport," he observed after n space.
"I know it was darn difficult for
you, but you took it like n trooper.
Ton should be proud of yourself."
Tb not," said Patricia slowly,
thickly, "not proud at all."
"I would have given anything to
have prevented what happened,"
the man began anew. "If there were
anything I could have done . . .
His voice trailed to silence. He
shrugged concluded, "It was just
one of those things."
"I suppose so," Patricia conceded
a second time. She said, "I dont
really want a drink."
"Yon need one now. Bacardi was
made for times like this." Silently
he opened a corner cabinet' that
turned itself miraculously Into a
tiny, lacquered bar, busied himself
preparing the shaker and selecting
the ingredients, all in a manner
both natural and casual. Glancing
at Patricia's somber face, he said.
"It isn't fun any more, is that what
you are thinking?"
"More or less."
"Why not think of me, or my side
of it? I had plans too. I counted
on having you here, counted on
your first impression. Why not re
member that things might be
spoiled for me too?"
Patricia said nothing.
Haverholt carefully completed Us
pouring, turned to say abruptly,
"Think it over while I get the ice.
You don't need my help. Will yon
excuse me?"
"Yes."
He left the room. No sooner had
he gone than Patricia was on her
feet. Noiselessly and swiftly she
entered the foyer, paused, her hand
on the outer door. Somewhere in
the back of the house she heard
movement. Harerholt getting the
ice . . . What would lie think when
he returned to find her vanished?
He had thought her brave and ma
tore, n good sport. What would he
think when he returned? She wav
ered and then slowly went back
Into the living room. Five minutes
later he found her there.
I "Good girl," he said, as he
I diratTWu! ihm tea Inta tth Bll
shaker.
"What do yon meant"
"Don't yoj know why I was away
so long?"
"No, I dent,"
"I was giving too your chance to
leave without argument if yon
wanted to leave. May I say that
I'm glad you didnt?" Patricia re
garded him with perplexed and
troubled eyes. "Don't try to make
me oat, my dear," he continued.
"Why sot accept me as X am? Yon
like me, Isnt that enough?"
"I cant understand you at all,"
she faltered. Suddenly she burst
out, "How did Dorothy Luray hap
pen to be here? '
There was a silence. Harerholt
looked t her quizzically.
He set down the shaker and
crossed the room. He stood before
her. He .said gravely:
"Have you the right to ask that
question?"
I don't know," muttered Patri
cia. Her tawny head came up. Hot
with shame, she said, "I fuess I
haven't."
"Would you like to have the
right!"
The air was tense, electric Their
eyes clung together. To Patricia it
seemed that some sew element had
entered the quiet room, some ele
ment disturbing, frightening, yet
perilously sweet. She was conscious
of the slow, thick beating of her
heart. Outside, beyond the gardens,
the distant traffic throbbed.
'Are you In love with me, Pa
tricia?"
She woke as if from a dream.
The spell was gone. In loro with
him? Incredible that ahe should
have allowed that question to be
askedl Yet she had allowed it. Her
own actions, her own words were
responsible for this. She had
brought the situation upon herself.
"Of coarse I'm not," she said.
trying to appear composed aad at
ease and failing.
She felt cheap and ashamed. She
had been another Dorothy Lnray,
suspicions, questioning, jealous, and
with far leas right. She should have
set the tone of this meeting. She
had permitted Harerholt to set it
"Are yon so sore?" he asked.
sinking to the arm of her chair end
continuing to look into her eyes.
"Quite sure," she Informed him
steadily.
"WeU then "
He rose. Like herself he seemed
to realize that the moment was fin
ished. He would not press her. Even
in that instant of reaction and dis
taste, Patricia had to admit that
Julian Haverholt had his points. He
had left her the tatters of her
pride. Another man might have pro
tested, might have recalled to her
mind her own responsibility, might
have accused her of provoking the
situation, might have accused her
of the same things of which she ac
cused herself. The girl sat thinking,
Suddenly she said abruptly, "I
dont know what was wrong with
me. I must have been crazy. I'm
sorry oh, about everything."
"You do take things hard, dont
you?" ha returned and added,
"Never apologize, Patricia, parties
larly to me. If s wasted effort for
I assure yea that I never, under
any circumstances, apologize.'
"Perhaps," she managed, "you're
more satisfied with yourself.
"And, why not? Isn't that more
pleasant than living a life that is
one long crying Jagi"
"I smile occasionally," said Pa
tricia and did.
Haverholt's own smile helped her.
The bad moment was over. They
were back te normal, or almost It
was then that the telephone rang
in an adjoining room. The man
went to answer it She heard the
murmur of his voice. Presently, he
came back.
"We're having guests," he told
her. "A couple of friends of mine
are at the very gates. Nice fellows,
I hope yon like them. There was
nothing to do except to let them
come."
Again he was making it easy for
her. He had seen that the occasion
was wrecked and was of no mind
to permit her to mourn over the
wreckage. What an amazing person
Julian Haverholt wasl
There was a hammering on the
door. Harerholt stepped into the
foyer. Patricia heard a confusion
of male greetings, heard the plop
of sticks and overcoats being piled
on chairs, heard Haverholt's
"You're just in time to meet my
new bridge partner."
Then, they were in the living
room, Haverholt and two other
men. Patricia's heart gave a great
leap. One of the visitors was Clark
Tracy. The girl rose impulsively,
her hand outstretched. She stopped
foolishly before the polite inquiry
ox Tracy's gaze.
She realized that Clark Tracy did
not recognize her.
Patricia stopped in the center of
the room and wished that the floor
might open to swallow her up. Shi
felt in that first moment, dazed
and aiek. She had thought about
Clark Tracy so often and so vainly,
had span sach dreams and fancies
around him, had remembered him
with such exquisite accuracy, that
it seemed incredible that he should
have forgotten her utterly. Yet he
had forgotten, They had met a
single time and he had forgotten.
She stood very stm, the light
striking sparks from her red gold
hair. She watched the three men
approach.
"Patricia," said Haverholt "this
is Mr. Tracy and this is .Mr. Gove,
a couple of rotten bridge players,
but likeable for all that"
Until the very last she had hoped
that some spark might flicker in
Tracy's eyes. He merely inclined
his head.' Somehow, ahe too bowed.
Haverholt completed his introduc
tion:
"Gentlemen, my niece, Patricia
Haverholt"
The girl's face went blank in her
astonishment Had Haverholt really
said, "my niece"? She looked op at
him. His glance was veiled. She had
opened her Hps for protest when
Tracy said in his warm, remem.
be red voice, "Julian has been tell
ing as all about you."
"A relative to be proud of, isnt
she?" chimed in Haverholt, laying
an affectionate arm across her rigid
shoulder. He continued, "I haven't
seen Patricia since she was a child.
I had no hopes that she would turn
out so welL" He added reflectively,
"My brother was a homely man."
They all laughed, all except Pa.
tricia. She was bewildered and
angry. She guessed that Haverholt
was enjoying himself in his own
diabolical way. What could she do?
Certainly, she could not announce
that she was not his niece, not now.
He looked at her speculatively and
her gaze warned him that later . . .
For the present he sat with the
others sipping her cocktail, nibbling
at little cakes that tasted like saw
dust and ashes, listening to desul
tory light conversation, answering
the questions that came her way.
Young Philip Gove, with his soft
brown eyes and warm olive color
ing, made the heaviest demands
upon her attention. He was both
shy and eager. At another time se
might have found him charming.
Now, ahe resented his persistence.

4 Good Health
fllHANK the depression for this, that it has been accom-
JL panied by good health. The 1928 death rate was 12.1 per
thousand. The 1929 rate was 11.9. It f ell to ll.S m 1931 : and
to 11.1 in 1931. In 1932 the death rate was 10.9; and for the
' first nine months of 1933 the rate was the lowest m our his
tory. Even in cases usually attributed to poverty the mor
tality figures have shown improvement. Infant mortality
"which was 68 per thousand in 1929, dropped to 58 for 1932.
Only 28 persons died of starvation m 1930 and 33 in 1932.
The .good health is due to less over-indulgence in eat
ing. Now why should an editor bring that up on Thanksgiv-
ing morning when the cooks are in all the kitchens preparing
.a feast of good things?
i For one reason to post a warning against over-eating
today. For another reason to point out that one cause of bet-
: ter health records is the work of public health departments
and voluntary associations. Here in this county the persist
ent work of the county department of health is bearing re
sults. This work merits support. And just now the county
. Dublic health association is nutting on for the Oregon Tuber-
- culosis association the sale of Christmas seals to finance the
battle against tuberculosis. The record shows progress, and
i justifies continuance of organized effort to combat disease.

The 1844 covered wagon immi
gration brought 1475 people to
swell Oregon's population, accord
ing to the Hudson's Bay com
pany's reckoning, as told in Dr.
McLoughlin's private papers, re
vealed long afterward. That about
doubled the population. The '45
and '46 immigrations added about
2000 more, and the accession ot
1847, more than 5000, doubled it
again, or more, while the "great

1344 wrote to Captain Nathaniel

covered wagon trains were col

had 323 persons. 410 oxen, 1C0
cows (16 of which were team

substitute. The people with whom
the writer's father came that year
had those experiences even in
rich old Yamhill and Polk coun
ties. Tha influx was too large to
quickly absorb the new arrivals,
even though some of them had
means; the majority having little
but their emaciated ox teams and
almost worn out wagons.

No wonder the pioneer spirit
was such aa to make every fam
ily's home the welcoming place
for neighbors, with the latch
string always out! How would the
WUlamette valley even now find
room for 50,000 new people, fresh
from a Journey of 2000 miles or
more, by ox team? Would the
spirit of Our pioneer fathers and
mothers and grandfathers and
grandmothers stand the strain In
a manner to compare favorably
with what waa witnessed in 18527

One-finds in a Bancroft foot
note on the 1845 covered wagon
immigration these words: "Hen
ry Hawkins was 70 years ot age
when he came to Oregon. His
wife was the first white woman
in Louisville, Kentucky. He fol
lowed tlatboatlng on the Missis
sippi river before the days of
steamboats. He lived for 33 years
in Marion county, dying at Sil
verton, at the age of 103, in July.
1878
Does any one in the Silverton
neighborhood remember him, or
members ol his family?
S
Another footnote of the same
immigration: "David C. IngaUs, a
native ot Maine, was born Oct.
31, 1808. In 1836 he moved to
Columbus, Ohio,' in which state
he was married in 1839, moving
to Iowa in 1840, and to Oregon
five years later. In the spring ot
1849 he settled at Astoria. His
daughter, Mary Columbia, was
the first child of whUVparentage
born In that place. IngaUs, was
much esteemed and beloved by
me peopie oi Astoria, among
whom he lived until the 81st of
August, 1830, when ' he quietly
passea &way, according to an lm
fire years that he should die at
that time. This footnote was
copied from the Daily Astorian of
Sept. 12, 1880. It was likely writ
ten by Editor J. F. Halloran, or
F. W. Parker. Where are Hallor
an and Parker now, if they are in
the land o the living? The As
toria paper might copy. Columbia
I was an appropriate name for the
first all white child born in As
toria. There were, of course, a
good many half white (and half
Indian) children born there be
fore. It is notable, too, that Mr.
IngaUs should forecast the near
time of his death, for five years.
S
This Is another Bancroft foot
note of the 1845 Immigration,
copied from the Roseburg Plain-
dealer ot Feb. 23, 1877, and, ra
ther a coincidence, probably writ
ten for that paper by a brother of
the Bits man,' then its editor, re
porter. Job printer, "devil," press
man and janitor: "George Han
non was born in Cork, Ireland, in
1820. At the age f 23 he re
moved to New York, and thence
to . Missouri, in which state he
married Liza Jane Eavens, Feb.
22, 1844, and the following year
joined the caravan to Oregon. He
went first to Oregon City, where
he remained some years, and fin
ally settled in the Umpqua valley,
where he died Feb. 23, 1877,
leaving his wife and seven child
ren at Garden Bottom in Douglas
county." Members ot the Hannon
family are no doubt in southern
Oregon yet.

A good deal has been printed in
this column concerning the three
sessions of the provisional gov
ernment legislature of 1845, and
the reason why there were three
sessions. In short, Jesse Apple
gate, a member, contended at the
first session in June that there
was no provisional government,
none having teen authorized, or
its constitution and laws adopted,
excepting at meetings in the open
air at the Jason Lee mission Feb.
18, 1841, and at Champoeg July
5, 1843. To make that govern
ment valid and its constitution
and laws binding. Applegate con
tended, there must be a vote of
the people at polling places. So an
adjournment was had, and an
election held, resulting in 255
votes for and 22 against, after
which there was an August ses
tion, and when it adjourned it
presslon entertained by him for was to convene in the regular ses

At that session the long fight
commenced on the location of the
capital. Bancroft's writer said:
"The recommendation of Gov
ernor Abernethy, that proposals
should be received for locating
the seat ot government, created
little Interest and small competition.
"The only propositions received
were from Robert Moore, whose
claim of Robin's Nest, opposite
Oregon City (another compliment
to Senator Linn), and Hugh
Burns, who occupied the adjoin
ing claim.
"Neither of these proposals
meeting with entire approval, aad
petition, signed by 60 persons
of Champoeg county, being re
ceived, praying that action on the
seat of government problem be
deferred. It was practically post
poned by the passage of an act
ordering that the future sessions
of the house of representatives
(provisional government legisla
ture or legislative committee as
it had been theretofore known)
be held at Oregon City until oth
erwise directed by law.
"By the same act the governor
was authorised to give notice by
publication in the newspapers or
otherwise that he would receive
sealed proposals from all who de
sired to make donations to the
government for the purpose of
aiding in the erection of public
buildings and locating the cap
ital; which proposals should be
submitted to the next legisla
ture." (Some words were Inadvertent
ly omitted from a paragraph in
this column yesterday. It should
have said that Peter H. Burnett,
first governor of California, was
a great uncle of Mrs. Geo. W.
Dunn, whose husband "Is state
senator from Jackson county.
Most readers know that Burnett
resigned the office of supreme
judge of Oregon" under the- pro
visional government to-Join the
cold rushers into the California
mines, gold having been discov
ered by three men from the Sa
lem district, Marshall, Bennett,
and staata. The mother and
iaiaer or senator Dunn were
among the first settlers of the
Ashland section of Southern Ore
