In Russia the Or thodox church was disestablished, the soviet preference is atheism. In Germany the dictator seeks to graft, Norse my thology on a de-semitized Christianity. Prussian clergymen who resist the nazi-izingr of the church are put under arrest. Jn the United States the church hangs on, like the republican party; but it seems to have little voice in the direction of indi--vidual or social destiny, and scant comfort to those broken on the wheel of fortune. Rev. Charles Stelzle, long a Presbyterian leader, has written discouragingly of the decline of the protestant churches in relative numbers and in influence. Here are two paragraphs from his recent articles : f "The city where the church Is weak has become dom inant; tn country where the church, was strong has relative ly declined. The tempo of Urine has chanced. Old-fashioned Ideas hare gone out. The long-meter doxology has been sup planted by swift-moving melody. Spiritual growth has failed to keep pace with the material prosperity. Democracy has not lived vp to Its promise of equal opportunity for all, with the result that social. Industrial and racial conflict has disturbed human : relationships. j," a ' ' The influence of the church upon the moral and ethical . affairs of the nations is today one of its weakest points. For two thousand rears it has been preaching the doctrine of universal t love and brotherhood. This has been its great commission. But . during a time of war the church can apparently hate as bitterly as the leaders of the conflicting nations. It seems to have got no further in bringing the religious bodies of the world together than' holding a few ecumenical conferences, the net results of . which have been the passing of about the same sets of resolu tions, which were buried in the records, to be revived and con - suited by succeeding conferences.' In the February Harper's David Carl Colony is even more severe in his condemnation of the church as it is. "It has been a long time," he comments, "since we have had a living martyr". The outlook is dark, "unless the church becomes militant against injustice and greed it will not be long before the church in America goes the way of Russian orthodoxy." True it is that in almost every age folk have written epitaphs for the Christian church, and still it has survived. There can be little doubt however that honest synodical com mittees reporting on "the narrative and state of religion" will find little to relieve the gloom of the situation for the church of today. This 13 only partly due to the economic de pression wjth its political and social unrest. It is due to the difficulty of the church to rebuild its credal pattern in the light of modern knowledge. At a time when it should face a world in flux with the spiritual anohors of eternal verities. The preacher's cry: "AH we need is to apply Jesus Christ" is vague and abstract. Mr. Colony lays out a more stirring program: J "The church must cease her everlasting preaching, in a plaintive voice, of the kingdom of heaven. Heaven is wilh us, ; and hell too. The privileged few have taken to themselves most of the heavenly joys. The Insipid preaching must cease. There must be a break, before it is too late, with the crumbling order v of selfish greed. Tacit approval of an evil economic structure must be replaced by a thundering summons to repentance, an In ' slstent call to share the world's goods. The church must be the first to set the example. Else, now that the reckoning is at hand, the poor will soon or late proclaim the sacrifice of Jesus a hol low mockery." Another cause for the church's impotence today is its financial worries. In more ways than one the church was tied in with the old order. For instance, the depression caught it heavily involved, loaded" up with indebtedness for costly plant, or with expanded budgets for keeping up church ma chinery. Shrinkages have been terrific; but the church is still a costly establishment in terms of the message of -its founder. Energies are expended on "meeting the budget" rather than ministering to the spiritual and physical needs of those in the parish. , The church is not and should hot be as opportunist as a political party. It must have faith and courage to espouse beliefs in spite of the ephemeral attitude of its public. But it must continually renew its vitality by reversion to its sources, must fight against being frozen in institutional or ganization, and must meet the challenge of each age. If the church does not serve humanity, how can it serve God? Flood Control RIVERS on rampage seem to be doing more damage than formerly; or at least louder complaint is heard. The Santiam is particularly violent, especially about its mouth near Jefferson. It drains a big mountain area, and the wa ters after heavy rains tumble down madly to ravish the soft soils of the valley floor. Rich! lands, the fruit of past cen turies of river action in depositing - alluvium, are gnawed into by the angry waters. There is the washing along the banks, and there is the cutting of fresh channels as the river gets out of its old banks. . Similar troubles are reported for the McKenzie, a stream with a character like the Santiam. County courts of linn and Marion are conferring over the problem and Lane county may join. The federal government confines its efforts to stream control for purpose of navigation. But it J win take some body like the state or federal government to protect the river lands from continuous damage from our flooded rivers. - Patronage Is proving a big Incentive to democrats to tilt tip their county committee. Men are tiling for office of precinct committee men daily, either because of personal amibitlon or because a friend prompts them to file. Offices such at postmasterships depend on en dorsement of county committees: and the new committee will be chose at the May primaries. So It behooves candidates for choice of fices, tike the Salem postoffke, to have as many friends on the com mittee as possible. The present stir la proof of the proverb that ail things come to those who wait, if they wait long enough ; , The Ogn got its democratic D's mixed, when It referred to Henry L Doheny as chief promoter of the Roosevelt birthday balls.

The old braves delighted to tell her the stories of her people; of the battles fought; of the traditions of the race regarding the history of their origin; of Kamookumchnx (God); of Isees (the Son of God); of the first white men they had seen and thus she grew wise before her time. Her father often took her on hunting expeditions, and some times to the sacred lakes in the Tain ax mountain.

He became the guest of the fam ily to which Winema belonged; was detained by sickness for many weeks. Meanwhile he learn ed to talk with his benefactors. It was through this sick man that Winema first learned of the great cities and towns of the white men, of his civilization and wonderful achievements. "Her heart wa fired by her first lessons In the' white man's history, and as time passed she became more and more interest ed, and finally determined to know for herself of the higher life of' the white man. V "Meanwhile her boy lover, Uleta, had been her constant at tendant on her rambles for fruits and flowers. She endeav ored to inspire him with her am bition to learn more about the new people. He was so thorough ly Indian, however, that she fail ed to Interest him. He sought to dissuade her from her purpose, at the same time growing more in love with her; for Indians do love, notwithstanding that the great civilized world treats them as though they were animals of lower degree. Although Uleta was several years older than Winema he was about as much behind her in general knowledge as the small white boy is behind his sister five years bis senior. When Winema had reached 14, she was older in understanding than any of her own race and sex of 17 or 18. m S S "It was not nncommon for the Link river Indians to visit the miners in and around Yreka, Cal. It was on one of these visits of Winema's father that she first met Mr. Frank Riddle. Frank was a miner, and had in his cabin a talisman which had been his an chor through the stormy scenes of a miner's life. It was a picture of a fair haired girl whom he had left behind him in 'Old Kentuck.' He had carried this picture with him through all his wanderings, and It had been to him a reminder of his vows. The fair face was often before him, and always seemed the loveliest on earth. "s s "When the old man, Secot. Win ema's father, camped upon the creek below Frank's cabin, he little dreamed that this fact would rob him of his child. Little thought Frank Riddle that the plump, round faced Uttle squaw would de throne his boyhood's love, and be come the empress of his heart. After the day's work was over, he, with his partner, would visit the Indian camp and 'swap stories' with the braves. ' "Several days passed, and Frank began to observe that Winema manifested unusual interest in the talks. Often, too, he caught her dark eyes, gating at him through the long lashes. No words were upoken, bet each, seemed to know what the other was thinking.: Who has not had the same experience? Curious, that language of love can be understood though never a vo cal word be spoken. When Secot broke camp and went away, Frank felt, as he termed it, 'a goneness in his heart,' but he had not thought for a moment of putting from his memory the fair haired girt Winema carried with her the im age of Frank Riddle photograph ed on her heart. V "It is told of Frank, by his mining partner, that .ho proposed to knock off work earlier than usual that day, and that he stroll ed out alone, with a small parcel in his hand, containing the letters of his Kentucky sweetheart; that on his return to the cabin he de clared that 'the Modoc maiden should not make him. forget his glrL . . . ..V, 5 "Be careful, Mr. Riddle, yon don't know what the morrow may bring you.

CHAPTER SIX Three hours later when Drew left Stanley he drove : straight to his garage, left his car and walked six blocks east to Dennis St John's apartment. He would much rather have gone to his own. He felt in no mood for Dennis or for any other girl for that matter. He was completely In love with "Stanley and now that he had leftther he did not want to break the emotional wave lengths that he felt were somehow still binding them together. To see Dennis, to talk to her, would do this. But he had promised her that he would drop in at the apartment, and with Drew, oddly enough, a promise was a promise. Delight fully unscrupulous about many things, he seldom if ever broke his word to a womanwhen it merely involved the keeping of an appoint ment. Ridiculously punctilious about little things, he could be ut terly disingenuous about bigger, more important issues. He had never hesitated to break a woman's heart when it no longer interested him, but it would never have oc curred to him to break an appoint ment, even when it was distaste ful to keep it. So he rode up in a smoothly glid ing elevator and rang the bell of Bennia' smart studio-apartment at exactly six-fifteen. "Hello all alone)" He tossed his gloves and hat onto a table, crossed the long room and bending over her, kissed her lightly on the mouth. She sank deeper into dull velvet pillows, put her cigarette back be tween her lips. "I dont believe I like you to kiss me any more, Drew," she decided in her cool, slurring voice. "It's too sort of over and done with I've never found it exactly satisfactory to kiss a per son lightly after one has expert mented with more ardent caresses." Drew shrugged, smiled a little. "Just as you say, Dennis we aim to please." He walked over to a table, picked up a bottle of Scotch and poured some liquor into a glass. "Mind If I have a drink T It's my first today." "Help yourself. There were cock tails but the crowd finished them." She Sicked her eyes at a litter of glasses scattered about on the high mantel and the piano. Drew mixed another drink for her, brought them over to where she still slouched against huge am ber pillows, "Well here's looking at yon!" They looked into each other's eyes, drank slowly. He sat down beside her on the divan. "You're an amazingly handsome thing," Dennis told him, staring at him thoughtfully. "Quite the most alluring male I have ever gazed upon. Where did you come from who are you, anyway. Drew?" . tongue. It is the same voice we heard near the camp of the Teni noes two years since. The morn ing came, but no Winema was at her father's camp. Supposing that she had gone for the horses, the father felt no alarm, until an hour later, when it was discover ed that her personal effects were missing. Even then he did not suspect the truth, but thought she had only gone to some of her kindred and would return. She had indeed gone to her can sin's house. This cousin had mar ried a white man. Winema told of her love for the young man in the cabin. The cousin Informed her husband, and he, wishing to have congenial neighbors, went to Frank and informed him of the presence of the maiden in his house, and of her attachment for him. Frank shook his head. He bad fortified himself against the charms of the Indian maiden, as he thought, but consented to visit her. Ah! my man, have you not yet learned that when the first step Is taken the next follows easily, and then another? ' w V S "Frank gave some attention to his dress, putting on the 'biled shirt which had been kept for 'ex tra occasions,' - saying that he would 'go just tor the fun of the thing. Ah! my boy. many a man has started In for tun, and come out In earnest. The face of the fair haired girl went with him, re proaching him for his tolly, up braiding him at every step, and he was halt inclined to turn back, but his companion encouraged him to go on. saying that If he 'didn't like the girl he needn't take her, that's alL When they arrived at the rriend's cabin he found Winema dressed In the highest style of the Modoc Indians.

"I dont believe yon could be em barrassed, Drew you're much too self-possessed. But seriously, just who are you? Im one Drew Armitage," be drawled quietlx, "thirty-two years old, white and unmarried. I gradu ated from Amherst in the class of twenty-two and since then-" "Since then I know all about it You're a broker attractive, there fore successful. What I don't know is before then before Amherst "Why this sudden interest in me, beloved?" Drew smiled at her but Ms eyes were curious. "I've been thinking about you since last night. I've been wonder- tnr " "Dont, my dear, it will never get you anwhere." "You me?n you don't intend to teU me?" "About my past? Certainly 111 tell you. Why shouldn't II it's no particular secret. My father was an actor a bit of a rotter, I imagine. but a handsome devO. My mother was a dancer-in a rash moment they married and the result was me. Drew sobered a bit. "My fath er was killed shortly after ! ar rived on the scene and the next ten years were pretty bad. Eventually Claire, my mother, came back to New York, married again and we had things easy for a while. I got a college education out of it and a lot of very expensive ideas then the old guy dropped dead one day, leaving everything in a devil of a mess. That was right after I graduated. Claire had a small life insurance but I was out In the cold cruel world with nothing but my handsome face. I had some very good friends, though they offered me several different positions I took a job with Johnny Crampton's firm in Chicago, then last fall he brought me on here " Drew paused, a slight smile playing about his mouth. "And that, my dear, is the story of my sad, young life "I might add, be went on, light ing a cigarette, "that Claire has married again a filthy rich old piker who cant see me at all and all the consolation I get from the lovely but slightly dilapidated Claire is 'go thou, and do like wise'!" "And you are going to?" Dennis reached out and took the cigarette from between his lips and placed it between her own. Drew flipped open his cigarette case. "I suppose so eventually. It's the obvious thing, isn t it 7" "I expect it is for a man like you." "Dont think much of me, do you, Dennis?" He smiled straight into her eyes, defying her to admit it She laughed huskily. "I think you're wonderful, Drew, I think you're grand! Buthaven't you any moral scruples at all?" "Moral scruples?" Drew wrinkled his brow in puzzled thought. "I dont believe so, Dennis, what are they? They sound so terribly un attractive. Anyhow I'm quite tare I haven t any. "But you have about everythine else everything that a woman wants in a man well, I dont sup pose you could have everything." Dennis considered him reflectively. "Picked her out yet, Drew?" "What? Who? Oh, yon mean the girl why, no I dont believe I have" He returned her rlance coolly, his eyes telling her nothing. If Dennis thought she was going to draw Stanley Into the discus sion, she was mistaken. Drew had no intention of speaking of her then or ever if he could prevent it. Editorial Comment From Other Papers PROVISIONS OF SALES TAX The bill provides for IVt per cent tax to be collected on all sales of tangible personal property and utility service, except sales by farmers and wholesalers to others for resale. Also, the retailer in a small community doing a business of no more than $50 a month, is also exempt from collecting the sales tax. It is unlawful under this bill for a merchant to advertise that he will abnorb the sales tax. It must be paid by the consumer, and col lected by the retailer who makes his returns to the state. These re turns are inviolate and may not be Inspected by anybody but the state officials in charge. All moneys collected by the sales tax (except 10,000. for ad ministrative exnenses. shall be transferred every month to the state school fund to be distributed to the several counties.' . Twenty-five per cent of - all money received from this source by the state shall be sent to the several counties according to their assessed valuation. The remaining 7 S per cent shall be apportioned to each county ac cording to Its school population.
