From Os at the Mayflower
OS WEST, former governor, writes us a protesting letter
on stationery of the' swanky Mayflower hotel in Wash
ington, D. C. Not guilty, says Os, of the charge published in
these columns recently of. inducing Starkweather to run and
so spoiling Delzell's chance for going to congress. This is
what Os writes :
Feby. 15. '24.
... To the Editors: . - -
"AH I know Is what I see in the papers."
- In your Issue ot the 9th you say that, in a past congression
al contest, I induced Harvey Starkweather to enter the Demo-
cratie primaries with the hope ot defeating Delzell.
Pleased be advised that, although not living in your district,
X was tor Delzell in the primaries and In the general election.
Had nothing whatever to do with Starkweather entering the con
test. Tou also have me pegged for a political Job in event Gen'l.
Martin wins the coming election. Listen brothers: The Lord
couldn't get me to take a political Job.
I was once governor of this state. It was a great honor and
my portrait (although a rotten one) hangs on the wall where it
can be pointed out to the innocent and unsuspecting school
children.
Many of them have grown np with an honest (but erron
eous) belief that, I am one of that great galaxy of statesmen who
piloted our staunch ship of state over stormy seas and landed
it upon the rocks.
So, I'm not going to let yon spoil it all by providing me, in
advance, with some cheap political . job, and thus eventually
ales troy the Illusions of the rising generation.
The greatest blessing in this life is freedom freedom to
earn one's living and live one's' life as one pleases.
e e e
"Wen ahm lazy, let me lean
My back against de saplin'.
My line a danelin' in de stream,
An feel der fish er grapplin';
Jes' let me drowse 'n' dream 'n' nod.
What more could I be wlshin'? ,
Ef dere's no fish, well what's de diff?
Jes' so ah knows ahm fishin'."
e e e
Furthermore, I had declared myself for Mahoney of Klam
ath Falls before General Martin made his announcement.
OSWALD WEST.
All 'We know is whatwe hear from the politicians; and
we will pass West's letter over to W. A. Delzell to give him
comfort he has needed these two years. West hardly sup
ported Delzell in the 1932 general election because Delzell
was not a candidate, having been nosed out by Starkweather
in a very close race.
The real kick in West's letter is his last sentence. There
indeed we see the true Os touch. West for Mahoney! There,
brothers is the winning combination for contentious dem
ocrats! Democratic papers please copy!
President and the Code
NEWSPAPERS of the country will resent the slurring
references to "freedom of the press" which President
'Roosevelt included in his letter approving the newspaper
code. It is a reflection of the same attitude which marked
the comments of General Hugh Johnson and of Deputy Ad
i ministrator Lindsay Rogers. It is unfortunate that Pres.
I Roosevelt was not more gracious in manner and more ap
preciative of the ideal of liberty which animated the editors
of the country in standing against the system of licenses
which is implied in the national recovery act. For the, history
of government licensing of newspapers is one of suppres-
sion of liberty. Knowing that, newspaper editors and pub
lishers refused to let the camel get his nose in the tent.
The president's remarks about this point are as follows :
"Of course, also, nobody waives any constitutional rights
by assenting to a code. The recitation of the freedom of the
press clause In the code has no more place here than would the
recitation of the whole constitution or of the ten commandments.
- "The freedom guaranteed by the constitution Is freedom of
expression and that will be scrupulously respected bat it is not
. freedom to work children, or do business in a flretrap or violate
the laws against obscenity, libel and lewdness."
Unfortunately the editors were not so positive as the
president seems to be. It is always possible by contract to
waive one's constitutional rights; and the president has re
garded codes as contracts. If therefore the president for some
cause or other would annul a newspaper "license-' what
chance would it have to claim its constitutional rights?
The last paragraph of the president's letter is both ir
relevant and slurring. Newspapers have a social function
quite as important as political administration. They have
not -sought to preserve freedom of the press as a cloak for
child labor or a license to propagate "obscenity, libel and
lewdness'. The insinuations of the president are in them
selves a libel against the honest editors of this country, un
justified and unsubstantiated.
So far as the provisions of the code are concerned, this
newspaper put them into effect last August or earlier in
some , departments. Where now the president asks for -a
40-hour week for reporters in cities of 750,000 population,
thia paper accepted thai standard in August and has since
operatedon that basis.
General Registration
firHY not universal registration system in the United
Tf States? Most of the states have a vital statistics. divi
sion which records births and deaths. We require registration
of voters. There should also be. required finger-printing and
carrying of an identification card. During the war men were
registered and given a blue
through and, lacked the blue
tered. The system might well be extended to include all peo
ple. True, one seeking escape might throw away his identi
fication card, but his finger-print would disclose his iden
tity, although a recording system for 125,000,000 people
wouia De an enormous tasK.
European countries require registration of citizens.
Here we have gone on the plan of individual freedom. Bat
registration should not mean any restriction on individual
. liberty unless the purpose is to escape detection for crime.
.There seems to be no reason unless it be expense, why a
registration and -identification system is not established
here. - ' ' '
Such; a system would enable parents to identify their
children Persons suffering from loss of memory could be
identified and sent home. Heirs could prove their identity.
Officers of the law would find their work lighter and more
effective. Criminals would oppose the system; but their ob
jection is an argument in its f avor.
. Nation-wide registration of all citizens would seem to
be a practical plank for the
card. Transients who went
card were detained and recris
new deal platform.

Health
By Royal S. Copeland, M.D.
WHEN I WAS a medical student,
little was known about "celiac dis
ease". It is only within the past ten
years that this ailment baa been
properly under
stood. It is an af
fliction of Infanta
and young chil
dren. Though the
actual cause is
not known, suf
ferers from It are
no longer doomed
to an untimely
end.
Celiac disease
Bccurs among the
rich as well as
the poor; it Is
most common in
infants between
nine and eight
een monthj. It is
Dr. Copeland
rarely encountered In breast-fed
Infants, being' most prevalent among
the bottle-fed.
The young sufferers show signs of
arrested growth and faulty develop
ment. 'As a rule, the child is under
weight, undersized, tires easily and
learns to walk at a late date. Ho
does not take the proper nourish
ment Because of this he becomes
more susceptible to other childhood
diseases and infections.
The exact cause of celiac disease
is not known, but it is an established
fact that in this ailment the body is
unable properly to utilize the fats.
starches and certain sugars. Until
this fact was recognized, little hope
could be offered to these young suf
fers.
Today the child is pot on a diet
containing little fat and cellulose. Oc
casionally he is placed on a "protein
milk' or skimmed "lactic add milk"
diet. Tour doctor will tell you about
this.
As the child improves, cottage
cheese, egg, scraped beef, sieved liver,
gelatine, mashed vegetables and
fruits are added to the diet. Care in
the diet helps a lot
The Banana Diet
Great progress In the treatment ef
this strange disease has followed tha
use ef the banana diet Children suf
fering from celiac disease have
shown remarkable Improvement
when placed on this diet
The banana may be given to the
very young Infant, aa well aa to the
older child. When given to the in
fant, the strained ripe pulp of the
fruit la used with a portion of milk.
. I cannot overemphasize the Impor
tance ef early recognition of 'celiac
disease. When discovered In Its early
stages, cure la more easily accom
plished. But in many Instances the
disease is overlooked or mistaken for
some other ailment When neglected,
the disorder becomes chronic and
then It is much more difficult to cure.
As I have Said, children with this
dtsease are underweight and under
nourished. They fall to make the
necessary strides in growth and de
velopment Children afflicted with celiac dis
ease are irritable and easily crossed.
They whine and cry incessantly. As
the health improves, there Is a
marked change in the disposition.
The child becomes more pleasant
playful and gams rapidly.
It la hoped that the underlying
cause of this disease will soon be dis
covered by the scientists whojiave
done so much in the prevention and
cure of disease.. Only then, will the
prevention of this affliction be pos
sible. We should make every effort to
improve the general health and to
safeguard every child against infec
tions and childhood disorders. . Do
your part by consulting your doctor
If you are concerned about the health
and development of your child. ,

The committee working to raise 16000 Interest fund for the
general hospital has met with fair success, the total now subscribed
being $3500. The hardest part of the work comes In r arising the last
11000; but the success thus far showi the Job can be done. -It is
quite unthinkable for Salem to let this defaalt go on. With a new
organization at the hospital and dropping some of the expenses of
former years, uch as nurse training, there Is hope that with a lift
over the present hurdle the hospital may then make its way alone.
Public spirited citizens are urged to come forward; with gifts now to
save the hospital for Salem. -

of the Blackfeet. He is the Indian
who is to carrv one of the letters

September.
.
And his full name is Two Guns
White Calf Why the name? Per
haps the first things his Indian
mother saw alter his birth were
two guns and a white calf. At

children got their names. Like Sit

"Jason Lee Centennial" is the
headline of a circular now eoinz
to Methodists, and others, all over
the world. It is being mailed by
the Board of Home Missions and
Church Extension. 1701 Arch
street, Philadelphia, Pa., the or
ganization that, 100 years ago,
sent Jason Lee as missionary to
the Indians west of the Rocky
mountains.
. . S
A paragraph of the circular be
ing sent out to the wide world
reads: "Personnel: Outstanding
leaders of the church will partici
pate In the programs, Including a
number of bishops, outstanding
pastors, and representatives of
the Board of Home Missions and
Church Extension.
"Chief Two Gum White Calf, a
member of the Piegan tribe, of
tne Biackleet nation ot American
Indians, will participate in the
itinerary. He comes from the
Blackfeet reservation of Montana,
where the Methodist Episcopal
church has, tor years, been car
rying on home missionary work.
He will be accompanied by his
wife and their granddaughter, Al
ice, who attends a Methodist Sun
day school and classes in week
day religious Instruction as often
as the missionary can provide
these- opportunities in the many
scattered points which he must
serve on the reservation."
i.
Explaining "the programs," this
paragraph is taken from the cir
cular: " 'Jason Lee Special:' One feat
ure of the centennial is the send
ing across the country of a 'Jason
Lee special,' beginning April 16
In Boston (where Jason Lee was
ordained as a missionary to the
Flathead Indians) and ending
with a religious service on Sunday
afternoon, September 9, around
the monument marking the spot
10 miles from Salem, Oregon,
where Jason Lee landed in his
canoe from the Willamette river
and, from logs cnt down In the
forest, built a log house in which
he established the first mission,
either Protestant or Catholic, in
the entire Oregon country. En
route, many meetings are being
planned.
"The state legislature of Ore
gon has already taken action rec
ognizing the centennial and mak
ing the state fair grounds avail
able for it. It is expected that an
Outstanding- crowd will assemble
for a Jason Lee program on the
fair grounds at Salem, Oregon, on
Saturday, September 8.
"Governors ot states and may-
ors of cities en route will cooperate.
"A resolution recognizing the
Jason Lee centennial is being
presented in congress, and it is
hoped that the president will have
a part in the celebration."
Another paragraph: "The itin
erary of the 'Jason Lee special'
should constitute 3000 miles of
joyous, stimulating and worth
while centennial celebration.
Another: "Program: A typical
Jason Lee program en route will
include a brief dramatic presen
tation, entitled, 'Two Thousand
Miles for a Book,' to be prepared
by a local group. ... In addition,
the program will include 4n out
standing address upon Jason Lee,
a pictorial presentation through
the use of the stereopticon, greet
ings from Chief Two Guns White
Calf in the Indian language, and
such special features as shall be
arranged in connection with the
program."
As has been said before in this
column. Chief Two Guns White
Calf was in the competition of
American Indians for the honor of
being represented on the reverse
side of the buffalo nickel. He
won.
If you hare or can borrow a
buffalo nickel, you will sea on it
a picture of this chief. And if you
are in Salem during the state
fair next September, you will be
able to see and hear this noted
Indian in person. He will be at

The Oregon legislature of the
1931 regular session granted the
use of the fair grounds for the
centenary celebration, at any time
not interfering with the 1934
state fair at any time between
June 15 and October 6. the first
named date corresponding with
the day Jason Lee stepped over

latter the day he landed at his

years before, that is, in 1834.

CHAPTER TWENTY -FOUR
She thought of Drew, too, but
only occasionally. She no longer
watched every tall, swinging ngure
with a trembling heart thinking it
might be he. She no longer ran
throua-h the mail on the hall table
with shaking fingers searching for
a letter from him. Yet when she
did remember it was with the same
poignant sense of loss, the same
aching desire to lie in his arms, to
know his kisses on her mouth, that
she had felt dunne those first, tor
tnrine weeks after he had left her
At these times she belonged to
him as completely as when he had
held her close to his heart and
robbed her of her very breath, on
flu. niirht thev had run away from
Nigel's party. At these times she
felt she still had a long way to go
to achieve the peace and iorget
fnlness she so terribly desired.
But there were other times when
ah f1t that she had done iust
that. Achieved peace, and if not
forgetfulness, at least a sort of
pleasant contentment
TTneomolaininar. oddly detached
even gay with a rather hesitating
wistful gaiety, she was a puzzle to
Valerie.
To John Harmon she was some
thing much more precious. He was
verv careful not to analyze his
feeling for her, not to define it in
any way. He knew witnout ever
having discussed it with her that
love had hurt her very much. So
he had offered her tnendsnip. Ana
she bad accented it It had taken
them a long way. It had been the
most exquisite thing that had ever
happened to John Harmon. When
he allowed himself to think about
it his heart stood still. The rela
tionship that existed between them
was such a firm, yet such a breath
lessly fragile thing. At times he
was seized with an overwhelming
fear that something would reach
out and suddenly destroy it This
was when he was away from her.
When he was with her he forgot
everything except tnat someway,
somehow, he must make her forget
that once she had been terribly un
happy.
Se summer slid into fall and the
programs and the pageantry In
and around Salem in connection
with the centenary celebration
here will necessarily have to be
decided soon, and work begun and
pushed, If more is to be under
taken than what has been indi
cated in the circular quoted from;
that is ceremonies on Saturday,
the 8th, on the fair grounds, and
the afternoon meeting ot the next
day at the mission site.
First, the missionary society
asks 1750 toward the cost of the
Jason Lee special, and the raising
of that sum here will make the
covered wagon car the property
of Salem, or Willamette univer
sity. The use of the state fair
grounds may be further availed of
for other parts of the celebration,
either independently or in connec
tion with the state fair. Questions
in connection with this will need
to be definitely settled very soon.

Two hours later, having left the
bus and walked a couple of miles
toward the ocean, they found that
the little tourist inn they had dis
covered early in the summer was
closed for the season. The broad
verandas were piled with boxes and
gaily striped awnings; mattresses
were loaded onto a ran; flowers
stood stiff and neglected in window
boxes. A man In blue overalls was
putting out a bed of tulips, his
teeth clenched about a stubby pipe.
They found Mrs. Pepper busy in
the kitchen, packing canned goods
into enormous wooden boxes. She
greeted them with upraised hands.
Heaven love you! I n shut up the
last two weeks I lost money every
dayl Besides, we've got to get back
to get the children into school. And
you've come all this way for a
meal!"
She looked at them as only a
woman could to whom food was not
only a necessity but a vocation. It
was Mrs. Pepper's business to feed
people in the winter she ran a
successful delicatessen shop. She
was never far away from the stove
and the smell of cooking food.
"I tell you," suggested John Har
mon helpfully, his eyes on an ar
ray of cold food, laid out on the
kitchen table. "Couldn't you fix us
up a lunch some chicken and
pickles and maybe some cake we
could picnic down on the shore.
Stanley was promptly enthusias
tic "That's a perfectly gorgeous
idea. We don't need much, honestly
we don't, Mrs. Pepper." She added
the further entreaty of a pleading
smile.
"Well now and I might be able
to do that for you. I haven't it in
my heart to send you on hungry-
it being Sunday and alL There'!
not a thing fit to eat in the place
but if youll take what there is-
She hurried off to find a basket and
colored paper napkins.
They carried the basket between
them to the shore, found their own
particular cove, and flung them
selves down off the warm sand. It
was one of those days when the
sky hung blue and hazy overhead
and the air held the touch of gently
caressive fingers. It was a day in
which smoke lifted slowly and sen
tences were left unfinished; it was
a day to cling to and accept a bit
breathlessly.
They loitered over their lunch
talking lazily or not talking at all
content to sit there together, to
let, their fingers drift through the
warm sand, to watch the waves ad
ranee and retreat upon the white
beach.
John Harmon had brought the
fifth chapter of his novel but it lay
forgotten in his pocket not even
so precious a thing as his beloved
book could intrude upon the in
timacy of this hour in which they
found themselves, an intimacy
which was as intangible and deli
cately conceived as the very magi
of the day itself.
John Harmon lay on his side and

month. You know, the one whosi
nlace 1 took. Ill be looking for s
job again in a few weeks."
"Perhaps they'll keep you os
there-
"Not a chance," she shrugged,
"but let's not talk about it today.
Today belongs to us, John Harmon,
let's not let anything spoil it!"
They changed into their bathing
suits and went back to the beach.
The water proved deceiving all
gold and blue and sun-kissed on
the surface stinging1 eold and
touched with ice beneath.
They swam through it vigorously,
gasping a little, thrilling to its
chilly embrace. Stanley's scarlet
cap moved close to John Harmon's
wet, brown heap, their eyes met
through a blaze of sun and a drift
of spray.
"Don't you love it, John Har
mon?" Stanley's voice was a gasp,
lost almost immediately as an enor
mous wave rolled over her and
flung her, gasping and helpless.
against John Harmon. -
For a shattering second she lay
in his arms, her mouth slightly
parted, her eyes clinging to his
from beneath drenched lashes. For
a second he held her so, his arms
closed tightly about her slim body,
his heart racing madly with min
gled terror and delight terror at
the fiercely sweet desire the con
tact aroused in him, delight at the
sheer physical nearness and dear
ness of her.
Then he let her go. Let her go
out of his arms, let her cut ahead
of him, a streak of scarlet, swim
ming under water. The ocean beat
against his body, washed against
his face. He swam after her furi
ously, his eyes closed. "I've held
her in my arms," he told himself
fiercely, "I've held her against my
heart. But it must never happen
again. I mustn't even think about
it I must put it out of my mind
forget it ever happened to me. It's
the only way I can go on." And
even as these wild, incoherent
thoughts tumbled over each other
in rapid succession and the water
surged over his flushed face and
closed eyes, he knew that he would
not forget and that he would go on
as if he had.
