J. Barleycorn, Esq.
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.

I would be glad to recognize and

such explicit terms as would re
cognize the principle that each
state has a right to dispose of
herself and to regulate her own

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

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

constitution or Hungary was a vi
olation of the laws of nations.

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.

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.

southern democrats,. Douglas was
nominated at Baltimore by the

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.

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

RESPKCTKRS OF PROMISES
A sadly gulled public already

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

not a tomorrow; it is yesterday.

is occasioned. It Is not surpris

Because of the flagraney of the

the more conspicuous. Mrs. Ro

"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

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.

Drys who are more intent on
the promotion ot national sobri

ready discovering in these honest

That the two groups would pro
