Offices and Candidates THEY ARE building little bonfires under office holders who become candidates for office. The carcass they are trying to parboil is that of Rufus Holman, state treasurer; there can be no doubt of it. The Oregonian struck a match to its pile of tinder. Local granges followed with pertinent direction toward Mr. Holman; and the county Pomona grange repeated with a resolution which embraced all who fell within the classification. Now Sen. Joe Dunne strips himself of political titles that he may be free of their . weight in his race for the governship. And the effect of Dunne's renunciation of the worthless end of a senatorship and the grief of a port commissionship is to strike his match to another pile of tinder under the bulk of the state treas urer. It is impossible for the dispassionate observer to feel that these bonfires are all started from holy motives. Am bitions and personalities enter in; and the appeal to virtue may be just the cloak for some other objective. In other cir cumstances and with other personalities we can each one of these protesting individuals or groups forgetting their " objections and whoopin 'er up for a favorite candidate even though he was using one office as stepping stone to another. Politics is a worthy career; we should have more who enter politics with intention of making it a career; and we should treat more considerately those who do distinguish themselves in public service. How can a person who once gets an office continue in politics unless he runs again, either for his present or for a higher office? No one expects an official running for re-election to resign when he enters his campaign; and there is no real reason why an incum bent who aspires to a higher office should give up his pres ent job. To do so would many times imperil his livelihood. He of course must be responsible to the public not to neglect bis duties as he reaches out for something higher ; but most political offices are so operated that the chief is campaigning a good bit of the time anyway. So we find ourselves out of tune with those who demand for instance that Holman resign as state treasurer be cause he seeks to gratify his ambition to be governor. Had Hal Hoss lived and run for governor we do not think much va7o Hoon TriaHp over his continuing as UJ. an lOOUC nuum ..v - - , secretary of state. The situation is somewhat complicated over, the chance that Holman if elected governor, would ap point his own successor and thus control the state board. But Gov. Meier has appointed during his term two other ; members of the board to mi vacancies causea uy ucaw. would surely be better grace for Mr. Holman to resign as -treasurer at once after his election as governor, than to hang to the office until his inauguration. Such a declaration at this time would be opportune. ',- ' . Taking the longer view and considering common prac tice in other states over a long term of years we believe that any requirement that a man resign the office he holds before aspiring to another would deprive the state of the services of many able men, and would prematurely end the careers of those well qualified to remain in public service. We must remember that legislation should be general in character and not fabricated for particular individuals or particular occasion. Cracking Down NBA HAS finally "cracked down". The very day that Gen. Johnson was assuring the newspaper editors that no big corporation had transgressed the commandments so a case could be made against it, a tailor in a little town in New Jersey was sentenced to jail for 30 days for press ing a suit of clothes for 35c instead of 40c. In addition he was fined $100 by the judge. Shades of the liberties of our ancestors: That a man should go to jail for saving a customer five cents on pressing his clothes; and that he should be fined $100 for a five-cent undercharge! The affair ranks with the classic examples of intolerant persecution which were sometimes indulged in under prohibition? There is no justification in law or in morals for such a penalty. The punishment is excessive; and the liberty is one which has always been- a fundamental in the bill of : rights. Pressing pants is not engaging in interstate com merce. For the violation of the code price Gen. Johnson might deprive him of his window sticker; but there is no ; excuse for jailing him and fining him like a thief and a forger. 'If the people were not under hysteria from Washington "they .would rise up in arms against such invasion of personal rights. That they tolerate it is warning that our whole body of liberties may go by default When the American people are so cowed with fear or mystified by political magic that they permit such violation of blood-bought rights the future indeed becomes obscure and forbidding. Such an outrage is a relic of the dark ages.

A a sm jftr11eiwe Health By Royal S. Copeland, 31J). RECENTLY I WROTK about hemorrhoids and mentioned the fre quent appearance of this annoying condition. Today, I want to tell you about anal fissure, which Is often confused with hemorrhoids. To explain the difference between the two conditions It Is necessary to go Into detail about these ailments. A hemorrhoid, or pile, is a small swelling- located either within or outside the exit of the large Intes tine. The swelling is covered with mucous membrane, or with skin, de pending upon its location. A fissure Is an actual break In the lining- of the anal canal. This can be traced to a tear from some hard and sharp object. It may result from the passage ot fruit seeds, splinters of bone, or other Indigestible fragments consumed In the average diet It Is especially common among- sufferers from constipation. Painful Condition Like a hemorrhoid, the chief symp tom of this affliction Is pain. At first there Is a mild burning-, or a sense of heaviness and discomfort. This Is greatly Increased by response to na ture's call. The pain la most severe and distressing- for an hour or two afterward. It may be so severe as to require the administration of an opiate. Blood may be present This may be of a bright red color, or mixed with a slight amount of mucus and a suggestion of pus. Bear in mind that early recogni tion of this disorder assures prompt and permanent cure. When it is treated la its early stages, relief can be obtained by the careful application of pure carbolic acid. This Is ap plied directly to the fissure, but can be done only by the doctor. The treatment la repeated after an Inter val of one week. Soothing ointments applied to the laceration are extreme ly beneficial. Don't Delay Treatment Do not overlook the fact that once the fissure has become chronic In nature, with a considerable amount of damage to the anal canal, relief can only be obtained by an opera tion. In this operation, the Involved area is excised. It is a simple pro cedure and need not cause alarm or anxiety. A complete and permanent cure of a fissure cannot be brought about by the application of borne remedies or patent medicines. In order to effect a cure, it la essential that the physi cian inspect the diseased tissues and personally apply the necessary treat ment Of course, diet and personal hygiene are important preventive measures for this annoying and un comfortable affliction.

I n&l The "righteousness" of his cause was no Justification for failure to keep strict accounting for all campaign expenditures. Bits (or By R. J. HENDRICKS Elva Breyman Brown: The passing of Mrs. William Brown deprives Salem of a gra cious member of pioneer Oregon families who had large parts in building our commonwealth. s s She was a daughter of Werner Breyman, wb.o came to America from Hanover, Germany, in 1846. His father, Fritz Breyman, was a lieutenant in the Hanoverian army, and he fought valiantly un der Wellington at Waterloo, was wounded in that historic battle, and was awarded a medal tor bravery in action. s s Werner Breyman found his way to Milwaukee, Wis., where he was employed as a clerk until 1850, when he joined a covered wagon train and through many dangers and hardships crossed the plains to Oregon, going first to Lafay ette, then the shire town of Yam hill county. He established the Lafayette house (hotel) there In 1851, and in 1852 opened a gen eral merchandise store, which he operated tor 10 years, during eight of which he was treasurer of Yamhill county. His brother, Eugene, having crossed the Atlantic from Ger many, and made his way to Ore gon in 1855, the firm of Breyman Bros, was started in 1856 with the opening of a store at what was known as Watt's Corners that store making the beginning of the city of Amity, Yamhill couitfy. They disposed o f both stores in Yamhill county in 1864. moved to Salem, and became the leading merchants of the capital city. They had the largest busi ness ot the kind in Oregon, out side of Portland, until 1861 when they sold it and retired. Their building, which they erected and owned, was known as "The White Corner,' southeast Court and Commercial streets, and is still so called, and owned by their estates. They continued In development lines, laying out Plainfield and Boise additions in Portland and Rosedale addition to Salem, and promoting numerous enterprises in the way of farming and live stock breeding and manufacturing and Investments and banking in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. S The mother of Mrs. Brown was Isabella Watt, daughter ot John Watt, upstanding Oregon pioneer coming with the 1848 covered wagon immigration, and her brother, Joseplh Watt, was the principal and moving spirit in es tablishing tne first woolen mill on this coast, the Willamette wool en mill, at Salem, in 1856. S S Elva Breyman was born at La fayette on the 18th of March, 1866. Thus her spirit took its flight a month and a day after her 78th birthday, at the family home, S90 State street, Salem. On the same corner ot the next block east, where the Elks' temple now stands, and where stood then the Werner Breyman home, Elva Breyman was united in marriage to WUliam Brown, on the 28 th of May, 1884. So this bond last ed nearly SO years. W S Mrs. Brown was among the early graduates of Willamette university, and she later attended Mills college, San Francisco. Her first music teacher was Mrs. E. M. Waite, sister ot her father. Elva Brown taught music at Phil omath college before her marri ng. On the site of the E. M. Wait home is located the Salem public library. Mrs. Brown was proud to aid in securing that site for the library contributing and ob taining the largest amount ot money of any one person In get ting together the purchase price fund. Breakfast During the pastorate of Rev. P, S. Knight, historic Oregon educa tor, editor and. minister, Elva Breyman became a member of the First Congregational church of Salem, the second church organ ization in the capital city, and Rev. Knight officiated at the ceremony which united her in marriage to William Brown, s S S There came to the Brown home a son, Clifford Brown, who be came a soldier in the World war: who originated the famous prise winning daiem arum corps, who arose to a foremost place in the business circles of Salem, and who lost his life by drowning in an Alaskan fishing stream on June S, 1927. His body was never re covered. From this sad loss and great shock, his mother never fully recovered her old time resll lence. Let her relatives and friends hope there has been a Joy ous reunion of their loving spir its on the far shore of the bright land where there Is no night, nor any parting. The now bereaved husband, William Brown, came to Ameri ca from Germany when a young man. He acquired the English language, without even a German accent, in an incredibly short time, as he had already imbibed the American spirit. A brother who remained in the home land was for a long generation a newspa per publisher there, and some years ago he visited in the home of his American brother in Salem, as William and his wife had been guests among relatives in the country of the former's birth and boyhood. S S William Brown was at first a shoe merchant In Salem, and he afterward established the commis sion business at 171 North Front street that was carried on for years under his name and is still operating under the name of Clif ford W. Brown, the largest house in this section dealing in wool, mohair, hops, etc. S William Brown, spending the winter at Redlands, Cal., reached home In time to be at his wife's bedside only an hour before she breathed her last, on Thursday morning, April 19, at 7 o'clock, having arrived on the njornlng Southern Pacific through train. She had been stricken a few weeks before, but seemed to have recov ered, and the end came unexpect edly. S V Besides the bereaved husband, there are left ot the immediate family Mrs. Clifford Brown, daughter-in-law. Chandler and Werner Brown, grandsons, and a little great granddaughter, Viv ienne, a late arrival at the Chand ler Brown home, and two sisters, Anna, who Is Mrs. Rudolph Prael of Portland, and Ada, who is Mrs. Major W. H. Eldredge, also of Portland, her husband a retired U. 8. army officer. S S The funeral rites of this almost life long resident of Salem, who had been a part of the activities of the capital city during all the 94 years since its first home for white people was erected, except ing its first 24 years, were held yesterday forenoon, at her late residence, with Bey. Win. Elliott of Portland, a former Salem pas tor, In charge ot the solemn rites, and her body rests in beautiful City View cemetery, overlooking the scenes she loved. She left memorials that will last throughout the ages, and loving memories of her good deeds and solicitous care for her fam ily and friends will go down through the generations. BIRTHDAY IS CELEBRATED SUNNYSIDK, April 21. Hon oring her husband s birthday an niversary Mrs. Keith Dyer enter tained c small eompany Monday CHAPTER ZXVTH "He may have done Just what ha said he would, at that maybe the lad got off light because Miss Cro siers pa was on hand to meet her when the plane lit. and she got him to say a good word for Maurice." "But how caa we be sure M. Crosier--" "Stands to reason he'd be there te greet his daughter and finance Mamma's emeralds through the Customs," Lanyard opened a frank stare, and the detective quaked with deep enjoyment. "The idea bein that I wasn't sup posed to be wise to that angtel" The bronze mask bent crinkling over the flame that Crane was setting to his pipe. "I ruess, at that, maybe I've got no business to; but it's like I told you hard to stop an old mule from browsin' on any loose feed he comes across." "The mors I see of you, my friend, the less wonder I feel when it appears that you know every thing." "Not everything,' Crane with Ju dicial gravity confessed. "Take this crumb Isquith, now he's still got me gues&in'. All I know about him is he's phony. And one thing you dont know yet is that the old girl yanked that green ice out of the purser's box just before the plane sailed and gave it to Miss Fenno to take in and declare thereby slippin' one over on the mob that's tailin' the junk." "And one is happy to infer, from the tenor of this telegram, that the ruse was successful." The detective shook his head gravely. "The returns ain't all in yet All we know so far is that she stole several lengths' lead while the rest of the jocks were nsppin'; but that doesn't mean the race is won yet; there's a dark horse in it, or I ain't track-wise." "Isquith?" "Maybe. Or maybe it's the Main Squeeze that gives Freddie his or ders Fish-eye," Crane elucidated, reading Lanyard's blank look. "Leonard Schwartzstein they've got other names for him in New York, but Fish-eye's the politest" "I remember reading about him in newspaper correspondence from America," Lanyard said with the slowness of a man whose mind is troubled. "You have reason to be lieve he may be concerned in this affair?" "If he isn't, you can bet me your life he will be, soon as he finds out about it If this mob wins, and Mrs. Crorier loses and Fish-eye ain't in on the cut he's liable to act up mean and ask all concerned some pretty pointed questions. But there are so many on board that are close to him, it's the last thing likely that Fish-eye hasn't had a fin in the business from the start-off. Not that it was my idea, when I drifted in here, to tell you anything to upset you. Lanyard had a clouded smile. "Frankly, you do give me some thing to think about" "It doesn't do any harm, at that to realize what you're up against." "But what I am up against is comparatively a simple affair; the worst that can happen to me is to be haled back to France, the hap less victim of a dolt and a viper. Captain Pascal, and Plon " "That's if you don't pry yourself out of this jam." Highest Dramatic Art Seems to Wear Sombre Trappings Always By D. H. Talmadge, Sage of Salem Paul Hauser, who writes an In teresting column for the Willam ette Collegian, pronounces "Con gress Dances" the best picture he has seen this year and names Lil lian Harvey as his favorite movie actress. I agree with him al most. A line from the "Men i n White" motion play: "There has never been a man or a woman who has not at some time been made a fool ot by impulse." Fred White gives "Men in White" a lengthy and deserved tribute in the Sunday Oregonian. It really is a fine picture, bat it would have been a better one had several execrable attempts a t comedy been omitted. There is comedy which imparts a pleasant flavor to a production, and there is other comedy which is a fly in the soup. Incidentally, Clark Gable, who some of ns have been unable to see as other than a third-class actor and a first-class matinee hero, opened our eyes in "Men In White." A difficult role, beauti fully done. A bit of text from "Nana" at the Grand: "My mother was not a bad woman; she was weak. Women are what men make them. I do not know what I shall be, but I won't be weak and I won't be poor." Quite wonderfully, Anna Sten justifies the praise given her by her promoters, but frankness com pels me to say that "Nana" Is an unpleasant picture. Supported by an admirable company of players, of whom Mae Clark deserves spe cial mention because she has only a bit and makes much of It, the young Russian actress sets forth the story ot a Paris girl of the streets a story ot ambition and love which combine to destroy her the life of a dasslingly beauti ful girl in which was little but unhappiness. The play begins with the pauper burial ot her mo ther, a depressing scene, and ends with the girl's suicide, also de pressing. As a matter of fact, sadness has been the dominant note In motion plays shown in Salem during the week, and there has been no great rush to the box-offices. Human nature, as has been observed on many occasions, is peculiar. Long ago the fact was demonstrated that the public would tight for standing room to see the death scene in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," but was only mildly interested in 'Camilla." evening. Rook was played and the candle birthday cake cut. Guests present were Mr. and Mrs. Roy Heckart, Esther Heckart, Ken Cole, Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Taylor. T ah&TL. sstnraTlv. Invoke every power at the disposal of a French citixen " "Pfl Wk Ton to be strolHn up Fifth Avenue, foot-loose, before some folks we know find their land legs." "Ton have more faith in me than I have then, my friend. Bat my plight, as I say, is elementary, no matter hosi annovimr: we know what I am nn arainst. It is not for myself thai I must worry, bat lor that unhappy boy, my son, sums w a strange land and at tne mercy oi as formidable an organization of erUBrnsJsl" ' ' "That brings us to one question i wanted to ask you: what can I do to make your mind easy?" "Look Maurice up. keep an eye on him, counsel and guide him" "Trust me." "How very kind you are!"" Who. me? Kind!" Crane grunt ed. "Dont kid. vourself. Just In terested. Every time I run into you, I feel like a movie fan just cant wait to see what s goin' to happen next. Next Question is: what else can I do for you?" ' "Yen are so generously reaay. my friend, you almost make me sor ry there is nothing I can ask of yon more than you have already prom ised. Maurice will probably be at the dock to meet me; if by any chance he is not, yon will surely find him waiting at the Walpole, where we arranged to rendezvous. Tell him for me, please, I shall get in immediate touch tomorrow morning with the American branch of De li be s, secure the attendance of its le gal adviser, and call on the French consul to help bring this imbecile of a Captain to his senses. 11 Mau rice can be of any assistance, that I shall not fail to call on him. In the meantime, he is not to fret on my account. And yet " Crane, who had crossed to look through the window-port, turned back. "Well be in dock inside two minutes," he said. "What else is on your mind, old-timer?" "I am anxious lest Maurice, left to himself, fall in with Madame Boyce again. She's a dangerous creature, and he vain with the van ity of his age, susceptible to flat tery, impressionable. It was you who heard her try to sap his faith in me last night. Tell the boy, then, I will call him up in his rooms at the Walpole tonight, as soon as tele phone connections between the ship and the pier switchboard are estab lished. If he has something to wait for" "O. K. I won't forget. If you think of anything you want to say to rae, here's a private number the place in town I keep to flop in when rush of business prevents my get tin' out to the wife in Larchmont. So long," the detective discovered sudden haste, "and don't eat your heart out. A person cant always tell what's best for him. Maybe you're rettin' the breaks after all. only the time ain't come yet for you to know it. It wouldn't surprise me. If it comes to that, I don't imagine there's an awful lot could haoren that would surprise me. You get that way when you've studied the underside of human nature as long as I have. Why, I wouldn't be sur prised even if turned out that this Plon wasn't just a pill." Left alone to ruminate Crane's intelligence through evening hours so dismal, with the vessel at dead D. H. TALMADGE "Nana" has died during the week at the Grand. Those who have gone to see "Men in White" at the Elslnore in search of relax ation and cheer have witnessed a surgical operation and the death of the patient. At the Capitol the entire cast, with a single excep tion, of "Tie Lost PatxoL" a troop of English soldiers lost in the des ert, dies one by one with varied agonising manifestations. "The Lost Patrol" is a nowerfnl nw of drama, but It Is distinctly not- cneeriui in us nature. And "M" at the State was the tale of a man iac who killed little girls and was captured by a mob ot beggars. Very vivid, explosively German in dialogue. Altogether, no play for a simple-minded Yankee to see on a hot afternoon. The highest ot dramatic r seems, comes to us in sombre trappings. The greatest ot emo tions are seldom gladsome. Life is that way. I went to see Walt Disney's clas sical "Three Little Pigs" during the week. 1 had already seen it on iwu luraw occasions, out it seem ed to suggest relief from emotion, auu Well, old man Nipper, who caugnt me at it, says I'm becom ing frivolous, and ha'a about me. He thinks a man ot my age ana nis snouia find relief from the atreaa of dTi,aVi.. i playing rummy. It Is odd, how opinions airier as to desirable means of wasting time. That which some folks, look upon-as a waste of time other folks do not look upon as a waste of time, and usually one Is as nearly correct as the other. a-NWw.,,.

And is one expected, in response to that, to say: 'And in what way, monsieur, a thief?' " "But it is not a jest that one makes with you; it is a confession. It is even more it is a boast." (To Be Continued) It is quite possible for us to admire qualities ot character in the people whom we see and hear on the stage or read of in books or meet in everyday life and still at the same time not like them. It is a phase of the mystery of things. Most of us, I think, have this experience. Nothing is to be done about it. Even after we have in a spirit of fairness admitted our inability to find serious fault with a person that person still gives us a pain In the neck.
