TTTAH threw the last shovelful of earth on the grave of U prohibition yesterday. They have buried him deep, as deep as they did John Barleycorn 13 years ago. And Utah uncovered the last shovelful of earth from the grave of John Barleycorn, and he stepped out in a glorious resurrection, ap parently little changed from his Rip Van Winkle sleep. This shifting1 of burials by virtue of popular voting makes one r wonder how long it will be before there may come a reversal i. of public favor, and the now despised prohibition hauled from the tomb and given a "second coming". . . Sunday night we heard the farm problem debated for wards and backwards. Monday night we heard the debate " over liquor control. One seemed as inconclusive as the other. In fact, the one thing we are convinced of is that the liquor , question is far from being settled with the adoption of the Knox plan. " Some urged forcefully Monday night to make distribu tion general and the price low in order to kill off. the boot legger. Others warned against imposing too heavy taxation in the search for revenues or the moonshiner would continue to hold his market. Some protested that barring restaurants and hotels from serving strong liquors would insure contin uance of. sleazy speakeasies. Others predicted costly failure for state-owned liquor stores. On the other hand the humbled but unconvinced band of -prohibitionists urged greater pro tection for school and home areas through permission of pre cinct local option, and objected to sale of 5(C liquors at soda fountains where children came for their ice cream sodas. One man, at the end of the hearing, me forward with "a plan" which he said would reconcile the various viewpoints and' solve the problem. He did not read his 54-section bill; and his optimism by no means penetrated the general feeling of discouragement over the difficulties of liquor legislation. The Knox plan seems worthy of a trial; but we can see now that it will be assailed from two flanks. Tradesmen who see opportunities of profit will watch for defects so they may press for th privilege of becoming liquor dispensers. Reformers who can see no middle ground will renew agita tion for outright prohibition. Oregon will have to face in the years immediately ahead a succession of initiative measures and legislative assembly bills to modify whatever law is ad- opted at this session. The Knox plan represents middle -.. ground, an effort to keep out the motive of private profit in the handling of hard liquors, and yet to supply potables of all descriptions to those with the desire and the price. It re mains to be seen whether the American public so prone to swing to extremes, will be satisfied to build firmly on middle ground. To make the plan succeed there will need to be a re birth of respect for law both on the part of the public and on the part of the enforcing officers who have become habit uated to ignoring violation of the old prohibition laws. The Flax-Linen "Allotment NOT since word came that Queen Isabella had pawned her jewels to finance the journey of Christo Colombo to the Indies by sailing west has there been as much surprise -as when word came that Pres. Roosevelt had authorized $3, ,500,000 for development of the flax-linen industry in 'this valleyj Like the expedition of Colombo in 1492 it seemed too speculative an enterprise for a hard-fisted government to , embark on. The local incredulity is slowly fading however as additional reports come to verify the fact that by executive fiat the allotment of money has been made. Credit for the success belongs almost exclusively to Will F. Lippman, Port- land business man whose time and energy have been de ' voted for some months in fostering the project. Doubting Thomases find it a little hard to change their . "Oh Yeah? expression to ' You know me, Al". We may ex pect the manifestations of dubiety to change rather rapidly now to one of enthusiasm. Local skepticism will give way to local -self-seeking. " Development of the flax-linen industry in this valley has '.. been the dream of years. Mrs. William P. Lord, wife of one time governor, made this -her pet .hobby and labored inces santly for its consummation. R. J. Hendricks has been a consistent booster for this industry and has painted glowing f pictures of what it will ultimately accomplish. Ventures have . been made. The state flax industry has operated for many ' years, though recently under slow bell. One mill was organ ized and finally brought to such success that it was acquired by eastern interests. Another mill, a weaving mill, absorbed tens of thousands of dollars, but suffering from lack of work ing capital and from mistakes in management has had a long struggle. 1 It is just like a Santa Claus now for the government to come in, build on the basis of Salem's experience, and seek to - establish firmly a rounded-out fields to finished linens. This " thing needed to make the dreams come true. Certainly all through this valley there will be hope that tha experiment does succeed, because of its great possibilities for agricultural : and industrial development. Salem s Philharmonic Orchestra TOMORROW, Thursday night, Salem's Philharmonic or chestra will appear in the first of its winter concerts, : Under the baton of Jacques Gershkovitch who proved so xnas : terful a conductor last year, some GO musicians will present - some of the finest music In the library of orchestral composi tion.

It will be a home-corning for her, and her many friends are anticipating the event with eagerness. The Philharmonic orchestra is proving a potent influ ence for developing the music life-of Salem.

Our representatives abroad should Instantly recognize the independence ot every country the moment that a republic is de facto established, and then open commercial relations with such country. "That proposition is entirely consistent with the laws of na tions, and it would be a cause of offense with any one who would not give encouragement to the friends of liberal institutions wherever the struggle was pend ing. ... I hold that the Amer ican republic should do all that is consistent with the laws of na tions to show its sympathy with the struggling millions for free dom in every part of the world. . . I would be glad to recognize and welcome Gov. Kossuth here in such explicit terms as would re cognize the principle that each state has a right to dispose of herself and to regulate her own domestic affairs and institutions as she pleases, without the inter ference of any foreign power whatever. I am prepared to as sert by a resolution of this body that every state upon the face of the globe has an undeniable right to establish and regulate its own domestic Institutions in its own way, without the Interference of any other nation upon the face of the globe; and I hold that inter ference with that right would be a violation of the laws of nations, and an interference with the right of nations. Hence I .assert that. In my opinion, the interfer ence of Russia in destroying the constitution or Hungary was a vi olation of the laws of nations. We have a right to instruct our diplomatic agents abroad to pro test against any such flagrant outrage upon the rights of a na tion. We have a right to go further, and make It a just cause of war if we choose to do so. though we are under no obliga tion to make every violation of the laws of nations that may take place a cause of war. ... "a ". "I hold that a welcome to Gov. Koosuth, a public reception here, and a national welcome by the two houses of congress extended him, and to him expressly as the impersonation of a great principle, would b no cause ot offense to any xower on the face of the earth. . . . It is objected that there Is no precedent lor it, I care little whether there is a pre cedent or not. Provided that it hi consistent with our own honor, the dignity of the nation, and our own attitude before the world to perform such an act, what harm is there la performing a mere act of courtesy if there bo no prece dent for us to follow? I can see none, but rather much good that may result from it. I could then see America fixed In the eyes of the world, as the friend of an na tions struggling . for free and re publican institutions. . . . .

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN Patricia set out gayly in Haver holt's limousine on the. downtown trip. She felt as unreal as a sleeper plugged in dreams, this modern Cinderella, as she watched the crowds hurrying across the streets and remembered that she had es caped from the crowds. She re membered her bitter envy as she had glimpsed others whirling by Now she was in the smart, luxun ous car looking out on other girls who were envious as she had been envious, girls whose problems and thoughts had been hers a few hours earlier. That was all behind her now. And she loved it! They passed the Hotel Beau earme. It had seemed grand to her once. Now it seemed shabby, sec ond-rate. Patricia had a flashing vision of open windows, of the heads beyond bent over card tables. Was Wally Edge there trying to make up his losses of the after noon? The Beaucarme was behind her too. Suddenly the girl picked up the speaking tube and directed Otto not to the rooming house but to her old neighborhood. Childishly, supersti tiously, she determined to keep a final rendezvous with the past. She pulled all the curtains. She meant to see, not to be seen. Would Teresa be playing in the street? Patricia's heart beat faster as they turned at Washington Square. Her fingers trembled at the curtains. She saw a familiar grocery store, saw fat old Mr. Holtz locking up for the night. What would he say if she suddenly opened the door and spoke to him? They drove along Sixth Avenue to the tune of elevated cars screaming- overhead. Patricia had set her self for her first sight of her old home. They took the final turn. She felt very queer, puzzled. There was a crowd in front of the build ing, a noisy, gesticulating; crowd packed on the sidewalk and spilling into the street. She scowled. What had happened? A fire? Then she realized that the crowd's attention was focused on the basement floor; tempted to give aid to Garibaldi, the Italian patriot Kossuth died in Turin March 20, 1894. a S Stephen A. Douglas, called "the Little Giant," was a stormy pe trel of American political lite in some of the great days of his tory, and his path crossed that of Abraham Lincoln in several epo chal contests. He entered the practice of law at Jacksonville, Illinois, in 1834. But political preferments came fast. After holding a number of Important places In official life In Illinois, he served his district In the lower house ot congress from 1843 to 1847; then was. elected to the U. S. senate and served In that body until his death in 1861. e He was on the committee on territories in the house, then in the senate; favored the annexa tion of Texas, the Mexican war, and the admission of Oregon ter ritory all three in the face o f fierce opposition. He sponsored what was called "squatter sovereignty" in disdain by the southern democrats; that was, in essence, the right of ter ritories to decide npon free soil or slavery. He sought the demo cratic nomination for president in 1852 and 1858; but he was not sufficiently pro-slavery to suit the south. He broke with Buchanan In 1857, and his great campaigns in 1358 for the election of mem bers of the state legislature who would name his successor in the senate led to the famous debates with Abraham Lincoln. He suc ceeded in that objective, bnt the debates sealed his fate as aa as pirant for the presidency and went far toward throwing that great office to Lincoln. In I860,. unacceptable to the southern democrats,. Douglas was nominated at Baltimore by the northern wing of that party. He received onlr 12 electoral vote. though his popular rote was next to inat ot Lincoln. In tha earl-r Stages ef the Civil war. Donelas came to the support of Lincoln's policies and had powerful effect la defence of the- Union. Douglas was one of tha nation's greatest orators and thtnVra Douslas county, Oregon, waa named for him. she saw the people streaming In and oat of the old apartment. Some thing had happened to Lillian and to Teresa and the baby I She seized the speaking tube and told Otto to stop at once. When he obeyed she countermanded the order. Even in her anxiety and ex citement she knew she could not arrive at her old home in s a e h splendor. A block farther on, she alighted and ran all the way back, pushing through the crowd on the sidewalk, demanding explanations, demaading to know what had hap pened. No one could tell her exactly. "A bunch of rowdies wrecked tne place, I guess," hazarded one man. firmly resisting- her attempts to pass him. Patricia could see that. Lillian's sign waa down; the front windows were smashed to fragments. Torn eurtains revealed a scene of desola tion within and a policeman kicking among the ruins. A troop of cavalry charging through that room would hare caused no more damage. Pa tricia ssw tt all, the broken sewing machine, the overturned dress form, the one good chair split down the middle, the other, poor sticks of furniture fit now only for kindling, Just then the girl spied the janitor ef the building. She fought her way toward him, caught him by the arm. "Miss Warren!" he gasped, turn ing. He said quickly, "You better take it on the lam. Bill McGee got out of the hospital today and he and bis gang busted' your step mothers place wide open. I'm tell inz you. You better move along." "I'd like to see Lillian." "She sore don't want to see you.' "Give her this, will you? Patricia pressed all the money she owned, fifteen dollars, into his palm. He took it without question. He did not ask where she had come from, where she was living, how she was getting on. He was not interested. His only concern was that she depart at once. Patricia left. At the corner drug store she telephoned to her room ing house. Her landlady was indig nant, excited and alarmed. "You get over here right now, Miss Warren, she said. "You get over here and get this man out of my living room. He swears he won't budge toll you show up. "What man?" "He says his name is Bill Mc Gee!" Patricia did not go to the room ing house. Instead she returned to Haverholt, determined to relieve him of any obligation to her. Every thing had been changed by the disastrous trip downtown. The bar- gam struck with Julian Haverholt must be broken. Bill McGee was her own personal responsibility, no one's else. For Haverholt to sponsor her when she was a free agent, with all her past behind her, was one thing. From him to sponsor her when her past was no longer a past, when BUI McGee had delegated himself an active part of her pres ent, was quite different. She said so. "Calm down, my dear," said Haverholt, as she reached the end of her breathless, incoherent argu ment. "McGee isn't going to jump out at you from that fireplace.' Patricia managed a shaky smile. "But you should have seen what he did to my stepmother's shop. It sounds incredible and foolish for me to sit here in this room and say that BUI McGee is dangerous. But it's true. He is dangerous." "An right, he'a dangerous, agreed Haverholt, who did not look in the least disturbed. "What of it?" "That changes everything. I can't stay here and drag you in on trou bles that are all mine. I've got to leave. . "You're not leaving, Patricia, you're staying. In five minutes I Editorial Comment From Other Papers RESPKCTKRS OF PROMISES A sadly gulled public already sees many of the dramatis per sonao of the old liquor system re-emergtng. Promised a new or der, distingiushed by model con trol putting national prohibition to shame, the public is behold ing old familiar figures stealing back onto the stage. -There is the saloon in the costume of a tav ern mincing from the wings; there is the florid-faced barten der long unpopular at the cast ing office; there is the distiller in a major role; there is the li quor advertisement plastered on the scenery, and there is the pol itician already suspected of col lusion with the liquor interests. It is hardly a new era. It is not a tomorrow; it is yesterday. This was a widely predicted happening, hence little surprise is occasioned. It Is not surpris ing, for instance, that the Wom en's Organization for National Prohibition Reform, led by Mrs. Charles H. Sahin, is to disband Its national set-up. or that Neva da has turned back to the local ities the whole problem of liquor control. Because of the flagraney of the betrayals, the efforts of certain opponents of prohibition to maintain their pledges that the saloon would net return, are all the more conspicuous. Mrs. Ro bert Lorett, head of the Massa chusetts division of the Women's Organization for Prohibition Re form, has led. a gallant and per haps successful contest against the tavern lzed saloon in her state. Fred G. Clark, commander-in-chief ot the Craaaders, propon ents of repeal. Is promoting the formation et an organization of young men, called the Junior Crusaders, dedicated to the cause of promoting: efficient liquor con trol systems. Col.

If that 'one chance should ever develop well then, that will ne tne nme to aeciae wnat to do about it. For the present let's dis miss him from our minds. I'm quite bored with BUI McGee." "He s dismissed," the girl mur mured. "And no more of this ?oin.ava stuff, young lady," he said firmly. He paused, eyed her gravely "Promise me something, will you?" -wnati" "If vou ever have a diffienlf nmk. lem, don't decide that the wiV to solve it is to run away.

By now, if you hadn't, Td have had my Spies combing the city. However, we won't evade the issue, i want that promise." "You have it," said the girl. Someone knocked at the door. It was Annie Ellis with the announce ment that the young lady's rooms were ready. Patricia bade Haver holt good night, rose and followed the servant up the stairs. Her rooms, her own rooms what a luxury to a girl who had once thought a haU bedroom with a bed to herself the ultimate in perfec tion! Annie IHlis snapped on the lights and Patricia hesitated at the threshold, silent with delight. The suite, a complete apartment, consisted of a pale blue bedroom, a blue and gold sitting room, s tiny dressing room that waa all mirrors, and, last of all the bath, a tiled room with golden fittings and a tub that sank deeo inta thm tricia's fascination with the tub was "area by the ' housekeeper, who showed her how to use the varied taps, and who warned her against the dangers of overflow.

Somehow she had lost a little of her interest in the tub. When she returned to the bedroom she spied, lying across the velvet coverings of the bed, a pair of heavy ailk pa jamaa, undisputably male. She glanced questioningly st Annie. "Mr. Haverholt said you were to wear them tin your own things came." I guess theyH be a little his for you." They were. Patricia was q a i t e lost in them. Bnt the silk felt good against her skin and as she hopped into bed and turned off the lights she was thinking that the young lady who had let the tub run over anyhow had not worn these pa jamas. She gave a short laugh in the darkness. O J2. hj Kmc Feature Srodir.te. Toe. Illinois whereby only sales by bottle would be permitted.
