It is always a problem, this
for literary; work. Some people travel to the far corners of
the "earth seeking to "prime the pump" of their brains by
drawing on the rare, the distant
ors remain at home and fabricate novels, poems,? plays from
the stuff in their dooryards And there are others who jour
ney far in time and recreate scenes and characterslfpm days
long past. . .
Charles Dickens sketched
his own London, a London not
of humbler folk, clerks and tradesmen. Scott and Thackeray
found Clio their muse and developed the historical novel. Vic
tor Hugo took the human materials of Paris and gave them
literary, immortality. Robert Louis Stevenson, though he
journeyed far from his Scottish birthplace, and finally died
in the South seas, made this interesting comment at the end
,of his "An Inland Voyage", descriptive of his boat journey
along the canalsand rivers of Belgium and northern, France:
"You may paddle all day long; but it is when you come
. back at nightfall, and look In at the familiar room, that you find .
Love or Death awaiting you beside the stove; and the most beau
tiful adventures are not those we go to seek." f . fis .
' Is it not something of a confession of lack of originality
to seek inspiration and materials in remote quarters of the
globe, as though 'the author hoped by using liberal splotches
of foreign color lo cover deficiencies in his imagination?
Then there are those who as Carlyle says in his "ESssay on
Burns" may "travel from Dan to Beer-sheba and find it all
barren." i , jj i .
We have had some excellent production in receiit years
of novels'whose material is wholly indigenous. The south, for
example, has been a newly discovered mine of riches. Mrs.
Julia Peterkin has taken the Gullah Negro of her own section
of South Carolina and used him as source material for Pulit
xer prize-winning "Scarlet Sister Mary" and for other novels.
Basso's "The Cinnamon Tree" is another recent novel Of the
south which excels in character study. English novelists,
Hugh Walpole, Galsworthy, Priestley, Bennett, for the. most
part have used materials right at hand. .. - s H.
There is however, always a danger of parochialism. Lo
cal material often may be shallow and inadequate, lacking
sufficient substance to serve as the vehicle of great writing.
After all there is no final answer to the problem of source

By R. J; HENDRICKS
The White Headed Eagle
of Richard Montgomery:
There are many biographies of
Dr. John McLoughlln. Every true
history of Oregon or the Oregon
country must of necessity contain
one, short or long.
The latest one is that of Rich
ard Montgomery of Portland,
great grandson of Dr. W. H. Will-
son, who platted down town Sa
lem, and Chloe A. Clark-willaon,
first teacher of the Oregon Insti
tute that by change of name be-1
came Willamette university. Mr.
Montgomery thus needs no excuse
for taking up the responsibility of
supplying the need of a better bi
ography of the man ften called
the "Father of Oregon."
S S S
He has done this. He says in
his introduction: "Although a
search for hitherto unpublished
material was not without result,
I am frank to say that my princi
pal aim was to collect, - between
the covers of a single valume.
such information about the
White Headed Eagle' as has
heretofore been accessible only to
-fihe more enterprising students of
western history." It was a worthy
aim, and is well performed;
Eva Emery Dye, 34 years ago.
gave the world her "McLoughlln
and Old Oregon," an interpreta
tive biography In which the high
points oi tne epocnai career oi
the great organizer, leader, ad
ministrator and statesman were
made to stand out in plain and
intelligible outline.
Seven years later appeared
"Dr. John McLoughlln, the Fath
er of Oregon," by Frederick V.
Holman, which he called a "plain
and simple narrative of the life
of Dr. John McLoughlln, and of
his noble career In the early his
tory of Oregon." It was well and
sympathetically done.
S
Mr. Montgomery in his new
book' has, as his introduction in
dicated, gathered the . essential
known facts in print up to date,
and added what new: ones, he
could find from original sources.
Mr. Holman said in the intro
duction to his book, in 1907
"The full, history of. the life of
Dr. - John- : McLoughlln wUl be
written is the future: Such a his
tory will have all .the Interest of
a great romance. It f begins' In
happiness and ends In martydom,
It Is so remarkable that one un
acquainted with the facts might
doubt if some of these matters I
have set forth could be true. Un
fortunately they are true." ,-:
Dr. John McLoughlln was born
Oct. 19, 1784, in the parish Rlv
lere dn Loup, Canada, 120 -miles
below Quebec, on the south side
of the St. Lawrence river. He
was baptized Not. 3, 1784, both
parents ' being Roman Catholics
His father was John, native of
Ireland. His mother before mar
riage was Angelique F r a s e r.
daughter .of Malcolm Fraser,
scotch; a member of the High
landers, related to the General
Fraser who was one of Bur-
soyne'i. chief officers killed at
the. pivotal battle of Saratoga,
U. ?, 1777. r

Dr. John, the blood of .the Fra-
sers in his veins, responded to the
call of the wilds -and frontiers.
He Joined the Northwesters, ri
vals of the ancient Hudson's Bay
company in the fur trade of
North America. He risked bis
life in the armed conflicts of the
rival concerns battling for prece
dence on the hunting and trap
ping grounds of western Canada
and the old Northwest of the Uni
ted States. ! ; j
S
In 1821, Dr. John McLoughlln
was in charge at Fort William
chief depot and factory ' of the
Northwesters, on the north shore
of Lake Superior, having worked
up to that prominent place from
the lower levels of the service.
In the more or less hazy span
before the attainment of this dis
tinction, he had married Margar
et McKay. Wrote Montgomery:
It was on one of his sojourns
at the North West company's ; (the
Northwesters') Isolated Sault
Sainte Marie post that he met this
comely widow and promptly lost
his heart. Up to then the young
Ndrth Wester, save for one ob
scure affair, had had no time for
romance; but his infatuation for
Margaret appears to have been in
stantaneous and profound.
Through the long years ahead.
their association was to contain
all the elements of a great ; and
lasting love. hi
"It was at Sault Sainte Marie
that Margaret, still attractive.
though well past 30. had resided
since the death of her first hus
band. "Of her early life almost noth
ing Is known. Her father! was a
fur trader. lamed Wadin. and her
mother was either a full blooded
Indian or a halt breed. The! his
torians appear evenly divided be
tween these two alternatives.
though at least one is positive
that the widow of Alexander i Mc
Kay was 'one fourth Cheppewa
from Red River of the North.'
(Reference is to S. A. Clarke's
Oregon history, volume 1, page
189.) Whatever her origin may
have been, she was, when John
first met her, a picture of loveli
ness with her straight dark hair,
her flashing black eyes, audi her
slightly coppered skin. She not
only was charming, but, to a tery
limited extent, educated, for, as
a girl, she had attended the con
vent of the Ursuline nuns in Que-
Dec. There is a remote possibil
ity that John's older sister, JUarie
Louise, was a student there at the
same time,. In which ease . the
dark haired girl from the Red-1
River country may hare learned
something of her future husband
long years before she met him.
Doubtless the heart of many a
stalwart Scot had thumped In
vain until she succumbed to i the
wiles of the bold spirited McKay
toward the close of the old cen
tury.
"The name jf Alexander Mc
Kay is renowned in the annals of
the North West company.. Among
other daring feats he had accom
panied the pathfinder. Alexander
Mackenzie, on his overland,: expe-
ainon or 178993. Later he had
joined the Astor enterprise; only
to-do murdered by hostile Indians
. . . when. . . the savages : seiz
ed, the lU-fated ship Tonquln and
massacred all hands." (This was
in June. 1811.) Resuming. ;from
tne Montgomery text: ii
"Margaret, waiting at Sault
sainte Marie with growing alarm,
could scarcely hare received news
of her husband's tragic death be
fore the latter part Dt 1811. How
long- she tarried before accepting
Dr. John, who had been nreasinr
his suit with rigor, is an unsolv-
abie riddle, but we can hazard
the guess that their wedding took
piace either late in 1811 or ear
ly in 1813. The fact that the first
child. John, Jr., arrived on ? Aug.
18. 1812. offers our only clue, to
we marriage date."

Kay's answer to Harrow was the
only one she could giro honestly.

said slowly, nicking painfully the
exact words that would convey her
feeling, "and no one ever did mere

The Editor of The Statesman:
The Townsend Plan will solve
the three R problem.
Those against the plan try to
create the impression that the
8200 a month is a gift, that we
can travel outside the V; S., can
bank it, buy bonds or give it
away. They have even got the
great Babson 'on the air telling
us wo are trying to get something
for nothing. -
It is Just the reverse. We are
agents of the government to pay
the $200 out for labor, service on
our homes, and for utilities each
month. As we could not use all
the 'utilities me must buy, there
should be some one to tell us
what to buy, and where lo place
them to do the most good. When
the president signs the bill, 10
million people will be taken from
relief, and unemployment rolls.
With at least one to three quar
ter billion dollars new moaey
spent each month for utility, in
dustry would soon need the bal
ance of unemployed to keep up
with- the . increased demand.
Crime would decrease. ' Boys and
young men would rather work
than be idle. Older men would
go straight for a criminal rec
ord gets no pension. Taxes would
be much lower, income taxes re
duced, and inheritance taxes In
creased. After two or three
months, national; state and coun
ty relief would - end. Everyone
would be busy. Poor farms could
be sold. State old age pensions
stopped. One county in Kansas
needs $500,000 tor relief.L 40
counties two billion: dollars. New
York budget calls for SO millions
for relief. So it goes all orer the
U. 8. A dole never can bring
back prosperity, for the one who
receives it can Just live, never
having enough money to buy any
utilities. - The sales tax is a fair
and just tax, for we all enjoy the
protection and privileges of our
government and we all pay ac
cording to our ability to buy, but
under the Townsend Plan wo pay
it to make our old age secure.
Under the plan. Instead of unein
pioyment insurance-dole i em
ployment Is Insured or assured;
and. our country will always be
prosperous.

because it, will be passed - on to
the consumer, but we will be glad

CRIMINAL SYNDICALISM
To the Editor:
Note from a Monday Portland
paper, that W. J. Chamberlin,
state commander of the American
Legion has been challenged to a
debate on criminal syndicalism by
the Reverend Ross W. Anderson.
president of the lately organized
American Civil Liberties union.
Joe Chamberlin is exceedingly
busy at present holding American
Legion district conferences and
spreading the gospel of 100 per
cent Americanism. In case com
mander Chamberlin cannot spare
sufficient time to meet Brother
Ross in open debate, permit a
buck pirate of old fashioned An
drew Jeckson and Theodore Roos
evelt Americanism to- suggest the
names of two Portlandders as pos
sible opponents of Mr. Ross W.
Anderson. In event' either Harold
J. Warner, national rice com
mander of the American Legion,
or, Chaplain John W. Beard, lock
horns with Reverend Anderson on
criminal syndicalism, the worthy
gentleman and his cohorts will re
ceive a much needed lesson In
good citizenship.
It would be educational to say
the least to hear two Presbyter-:
ian ministers, Ross W. Anderson
and John W. Beard, take diamet
rically opposite views on this per
tinent subject of whether Oregon
should continue to. effectively en
force her criminal syndicalism
law; no one need apologize for
Chaplain Beard s brand of Amer
icanism. 1 .
Today, January 1, is an appro
priate time for all patriotic, law
abiding Americans to stand up
and be counted. Let us resolve
here and now that we will do our
level best to defend our state and
natlonAfrom the Insidious attacks
of those misguided souls who, In
their fanatical desire to further
personal liberty would destroy the
larger liberty that makes limited
personal liberty possible.
There Is no such thing as com
plete personal liberty. ''The Ten
Commandments' are an infringe
ment upon personal liberty.' All
laws are a negation of personal
liberty. The "bill of rights" of our
American constitution - does . not
give anyone the right of unbridled
free speech as some of the spout-
ers and loud speakers for crimin
al syndicalism repeal hare stated.

longer seemed to disapprove of Pete :
since the kidnaping episode.

f Pretty good bet that Earl's got .
Nick Caspar cornered," he said.
The boys hare dug up enough dope -on
him to railroad him any day now, - '
let alone this snatch game he tried. :
Unless everything falls through, the "
coppers will hare him in a day or
two and hell go over for a nice,
long rest. This guy. Earl, beats me.
That's been his ambition for a year
and his only regret is that he wasnt
able to swing it practically single
handed." .,- ., ' i
( At the house Kay noticed one new ,
development that surprised her. Ida
Campbell seemed suddenly to hare
grown cold toward Harrow. When- v
ever Kay saw her she seemed to be
with Spike, and, as only another
girl could see, was playing up to
him industriously. Spike seemed to -bo
enjoying it, tow. He had begun
to strut and preen. And there, Kay
told herself, was the reason for his
concluding bis gestures toward her:
he. had directed his efforts in an
other direction. Like Boris War-"
ren. Spike Winch was honest. He
knew what be wanted and he tried
to get it. . k . I'm actnaly beginning
to grow up, Kay told herself, and
I'm seeing things at last as they
really are. ...
Meanwhile, the publicity pot was
boiling. One tabloid printed a "can- ,
did camera" shot of Earl and Kay -dancing
at a night club, the columns
were buzzing with gossip about
"Earl Harrow's new pash with All
That mnvuA." and finally, a story
was released announcing that Kay
Owen, the beach beauty from Flor
ida, -wLo had sared Ilarrow'a life
in the yacht fire, was not only the
"red-head" who was his new
"heart," but also a grade-A the
atrical "find" and was to bo the
star of Harrow's next show, the lat
est effort of the bohemian Boris
Warren.
Boris had tuned orer the first
act of the play and Kay was study
ing it carefully with Ben Leschin.
For the first time the fact that she
was to be the star of an Earl Har
row Broadway production became
absolutely real to her. And it was
frightening to think about. Her per
sonal affairs, her relationship with
the men in ner life none of this
mattered now: she had to make good
and justify Harrow's faith in her,
Boris Warren's, the expense, the
public's expectation. Back in Day
tona Beach, she knew. Keith Pitts
and the other members of the Com
munity Players would be watching
the papers and the theatrical mag
azines f OT-.-eports of progress, and
after the opening she realized only
too well that every New York news
paper on the Daytona Beach news
stands would be sold at once to peo-
a watching for the reviews. She
to make good; there was no
alternative; she had to.
Though she had little time now
to think about such things, she no
ticed a change in Boris. His great
sad eyes were sadder now than erer
and he spoke scarcely a word ta her.
It was uncanny ; as if he had sensed
everything that had passed through
ner mind during the week. She was
Just as glad, though, because she
liked this strange young man a
great deal and hated to have to put
into words anything that might
hurt him;
Pete. too. seemed to be silent and
discreet, though probably for an
other reason. She imagined that he
realized the difficult job she had bw
tore ner and ws-remaining in tna
background and keeping his feel
ings under control as much as pos
sible that she might hare no inter

the gospel of good Americanism

"I therefore believe it is my duty
