Gentlemen and Ladies SPREAD on the front page of a few mornings ago was the bald assertion of President MacCracken of Vassar college that, gentlemen and ladies, as once we knew them, are now persons of the past. Such a provocative declaration should have stirred up replies but so engrossed are people in the Johnson-Long-Coughlin carnival of castigation, in preparing their spending lists for the Townsend dollar-shower, in ob serving the devolution of the new deal and the legislative wrestling matches that the MacCracken statement passed al most unnoticed. It is significant that a fuller development of the same thesis appears in the where a paper appears, "What a Dwight Sedgwick, New England taken from his forthcoming book, "The Guild of Gentlemen , The Sedsrwick article is a plaintive farewell to the gentle men of the ancient regime, who are roughly shouldered aside bv the rising tide of politicians, and the now - remembered "forgotten men". The author sees culture erased and stand ards lowered as the "trained, disciplined, cultivated few" are displaced in security and in influence by the multitude, "un expectant heirs, intoxicated by a sudden opulence of leisure", whose tastes reach only to "the professional baseball game, the Drize fisrht. the films of Hollywood." Staunch defender of the uild of gentlemen is Mr. sounds stransre in these days wealth": "It was, of course, highly paid, by privilege, leisure, and luxury, even in times when serfs and peasants were suffering from want and the burgesses of towns were scrimping and sav ing, but it paid back pound for pound, florin for florin, ducat for ducat, because it held fast to the great traditions of civilization, because it cultivated and cherished tastes, feelings, standards, that raise men above the savage and the barbarian." Gentle folks of the past arts. They set the standards of ners fixed the patterns of social regarded courtliness as a fine pled rudely in the crowded life scoffs at "manners , betrays wretched taste in habits of liv ing, in design, in social relations. With bitter irony Mr, Sedgwick ridicules the prevailing humanitarianism : "This solicitude for the human belly and the human back is idolatry. And the church, or rather, I should say, the Protestant churches share in it; their ministers cross themselves, and drop into papistical genuflexions, when they pass the altar of humani tarianism, they chant hymns to the proletariat, they bustle about ; t inquiring if the dear people in the East End where wage earners ; spend their wages on beer, and their wives bring forth new ob jects of human solicitude as fast as slow-working nature will allow find their dear bodies comfortable, and their dear babies on the way to becoming aa free, as enlightened, as forward-looking as their parents. The centre of human gravity has shifted. The old spiritual values contemplation, meditation, the com mandments of self-control and self-improvement are cast aside, the humanities, with their exaltation of the cardinal virtues, For titude, Temperance, Prudence and Justice thrown overboard; and if this be so, and it is so, if the humanities are neglected for scientific specialization, religion neglected for gratification of the humanitarian herd instinct, the Guild of Gentlemen meta phorically hurried 'a la lanterne', who then will maintain the sacred cult of beauty, who uphold the nobler values of life?" A Veritable jeremiad; and one which contains real areas of truth. But we incline to the view that both Mr. Sedgwick and Pres. MacCracken err in classifying gentlemen and ladies as museum pieces. History shows that the free masonry of cultivated folk has remarkable powers of survival. This up surge of vulgarism has occurred many times in human his tory. But as the turbulence subsided there always emerged J , folk who cherished high standards of conduct, who cultivated tastes and manners which serve as patterns for the masses. The old gentleman is always dying; his death rate is higher in seasons of feverish equalitarianism. But new gentlemen and ladies are bing born. There.is an immortality in good taste, ; in chivalry, in high aspiration, proven through long cen turies of human experience, which affords abundant faith in the revival of that Guild of Gentlemen once more to be the glass of fashion and the mold of form. Women in Business THE organization of Business and Professional Women are celebrating their special week this week. Composed of i .-women actively engaged in professional or business work, this group of 55,000 "white collar" women workers has risen rapidly in importance in the last few years. Besides giving new social contacts and new horizons for women in the indus trial world, the organization is a real agency for self-expres-, sion, for cooperative effort, and for entrenching women in r the place they have rightfully to modern business life. .Manv Wnmpn an risinor managerial positions. And an uncounted number are real ianainstays of offices, giving that care for detail and that housekeepers efficiency and faithfulness which make busi ness offices function as successfully as they do. So the busi ness world, which is still chiefly a man-bossed domain, ought to doff its chapeau this week to those capable and dependable women who do so much of the work that is-donc in business these days.

Clear Meaning Is More Essential By D. H. Talmadge, Sage of Salem Looks a heap like spring is coming. There's a promise in the breeze. Though 'tis laden still with snow chill . And a small percent of sneeze; But there's one sign we may swear by, One that we may safely trust The robins in the alley-ways Are a-warbling fit to bust "There are very few gentle men left in the world and I know there are no ladies in the old sense." Thus spake President MacCracken of Vassar in an ad dress at the Univesity of Chicago last Sunday. A somewhat start ling statement to come from the head of the oldest women's col lege in America. Perhaps it is par tially true. But it takes In too much territory. Here and there, as it may be at Vassar, gentle men are few and there are no ladies in the old sense, but in this country and in the world there are thousands of communi ties of which the governing soc ial bodies are as truly ladies and gentlemen aa were the men and women and boys and girls of for mer days. Dr. MacCracken may think he knows whereof he speaks, but I shall insist that he Is mistaken, at least until such time as be explains his meaning more clearly. It Is presumable that Dr. Mac Cracken merely wished to say something sufficiently strong to get under the skins of the 286 seniors and 500 undergraduates who listened to him at the Uni versity of Chicago, and if he was successful In making them re member their manners more care fully his breath was not wasted. It Is better, I have found, to be somewhat careful in the pronun ciation of words. The person with whom one is talking is, in a sense, a better authority than the dic tionary. If he or she pronounces a word incorrectly, and the word is one which you have chanced to look tip, it is advisable for you to either avoid using the word or pronounce it as he or she pro nounces it. Do not, I pray you, be a sap and show off your familiar ity with the dictionary pronun ciation of the word. The temp tation to do so is great, but re strain yourself. What with the French and German and Spanish and Italian and goodness knows what all words in the English- American language, everybody slips at one time or another, and you are likely to come In for a shot of retribution If you lay your self open to it. I have known intelligent and well educated people who .delib erately pronounce foreign words as the spelling of the words in dicates the pronunciation to English-American eyes and ears. But O well, do as you please. The talkies have, I think, im proved the general quality of the English-American heard in the streets. We accept enthusiastic ally pronunciations from a favor ite actor which we scorn to take from the dictionary. And, anyway, pronunciation of words is not so important as .clear meaning. The clearest of meaning sometimes comes across in pretty terrible language. A competent workman fa clownish clothes doubtless ': does better work than does an incom petent workman In correct rai ment, hut the costume puts him at a certain disadvantage. - In fact, there's nothing that keeps Its youth, - - - So far as I know, but a tree and truth. -Oliver Wendell Holmes I. SI i V D. H. TALMADGE Many young folks from the sur rounding country, usually in couples, are evening visitors to Salem. Nice-looking and well be haved young folks. Keenly inter ested in life and its affairs. They see a motion picture or two, and they stroll about the streets, hand in hand, or arm in arm. or one slightly in advance of the other like married folks. Frequently they pause to discuss the display in a window. They remain longer at the windows of house furnish ing establishments than else where. The girls are partial to women's wear and Jewelry dis plays, but the boys gently urge them away from these places, and the girls are restlessly impatient at displays of men's clothing. But the house-furnishings windows hold 'em both. No significance In this, I s'pose. Just happens so. I have received a Guil(T"Gazette containing the program of a play given last week by the Guild Hall players at the University theatre, Eugene. "The Trial of Mary Du gan", a murder mystery, with whom do you think taking a lead ing part his pitcher in the paper 'n' everything? Nobody but our own , Charles (Scotty) Barclay, who prior to his departure for the classic halls at Eugene was a pro minent figure in Zollie Volchok's all-star Mickey Mouse-Elsinore theatre aggregation. I feel a sense of deep sympathy for any person who is struggling to escape from the clutches of a drug habit. Or from the clutches of any, other habit, A habit Is us ually. harmless until it clutches. It is not entirely true to say that a person has a habit, not after it clutches. The truth more near ly is that the habit has the per son. Personally, I am fairly free from clutching habits at present. But I have had a terrific struggle wiut the crossword pussies. Gertrude Stein says argument is useless. There are times when it almost seems so. Bennie had been paddled by his maternal grandmother.! "Dad," said he, "you and me married into a heck of a family, didn't we?" Aa argument for the "what's the use?" patty appeared in the news columns a few days ago a dispatch from Denver announcing the death of Elizabeth McCourt (Baby Doef Tabor, second wife and widow of If. A. W. Tabor. the man who In the '86s caused pretty j much the entire country to turn astonished eyes upon Denver by his lavish expenditure of money. Mrs. Tabor, at one time known as the best-dressed woman in the Colorado capital, was found in rags in a shack. Frozen to death. The appearance during the week of Edward G. Robinson in "The Whole Town's Talking" pic ture at the Grand theatre is re mindful of a picture seen here months ago, in which the Tabor story was portrayed interestingly and with fair accuracy, Robinson doing the Tabor role. But the fi nal scene of the drama was yet to come. Help yourself to the moraliz- ations, if you care for 'em. When I was a kid I enjoyed eating at Aunt Emma's more than I enjoyed eating at Aunt Mary Ann's, because Aunt Emma put the victuals on the table and said "Eat what you like and no ques tions asked", whereas Annt Mary Ann loaded up your plate with her own loving hands and was greived if you didn't eat this or that whether you liked it or not. Nobody, not even a hungry boy. likes everything. I am a spineless gump, I reckon but I've endured some pretty pain ful attacks of the roaring gulps because of eating something or other I didn't like rather than of fend a well-meaning hostess. Of course, I do not mind giving such offense to some hostesses, but a hostess like Aunt Mary Ann, who wept is too much for me. Nonsense.

'-' SYNOPSIS Lovely, young Cathleen Mc Carthy triea to discourage the at tentions Seward Ingram, her employer's ton, because -of social barriers, but h insists on seeing her. Seward presents Cathleen with aa expensive bracelet. She plans to return it, but her shiftless brother, Joe, steals the bracelet and pawns it for $3C0. For the first time in his career, Jasper Ingram s : financial throne is threatened. Just as he is trying to raise several mil lion doUars, his wife, ignorant of the crisis, asks for half a million to purchase the Russian royal ru bies. Ingram refuses and his wife secretly plans a loan. To add to the financier'! difficulties, Arline Martin, an actress, plans to sue Ingram on a false charge for not financing her play. Homer Al spaugh, Ingram a confidential sec retary, speculates with his employ er's money in the hope of securing funds to meet his faithless wife's extravagance. Marian Alspaugh is having an affair with the Marques VA1V a nlrnic with Sew. ard, Cathleen, unable to tell him the truth about the bracelet, says she must return it, inferring that aha Ktill Via it.

J. HENDRICKS Books of Franchere, Cox and Ross, Astorians, told -of Dorion woman's Golgotpa: U (Concluding from yesterday:) Father Delorme wrote plainly that he burled Marie Iowa, Wife of John'Touptn, in the church of St. Louis, and the French word in hume meant in the ground, Father Delorme was the priest of the church, the cure. He was a well known pioneer. He tiled upon and was granted a donation land claim. He was one of the men who platted the town of St. Louis, partly on his own land. There were two witnesses, and both of them were well known; each was granted a donation land claim by the United States gov ernment One of them, Joseph Dellard, had been a witness, nine years before, to the marriage of John Toupin and Marie Iowa. There was no question as to iden tity. "a S V Still more than all the above the cure of the St Louis church had the right to bury the body In te church building. Any Catholic cure, at that time, had that right. The writer has this from Fath er Kraus, present cure at St., Lou is, answering a question 1 pro pounded to him in a letter. : The letter stated: "When the. Dorion woman was burled, the cure at St. Louis might have allowed any one to be buried in the church, anywhere in the church excepting under the altar." Father Kraus was asked to., say if that state ment was true, or not true. His answer, was in. the words that fol low: . t "Your question: "When the Dorion woman was buried, the cure at St. Louis 'anight have al lowed &ny one to be , buried m the church,- anywhere in the church .excepting under the al tar. Affirmative If you mean a grave in the ground . below the floor but within the four wallrof the church. It you mean a Horn b or catafalque erected on the floor of the church-la whieh the 'body It deposited, negative. For j your farther information I refer ypu to the decision of the Canon Law: thought. We ought to have passed my car before this. Fll have to ask you is there railway station any- nurre aivug " v. , - Pretty much out ef your way, may be, but We've simply got to get back to town tonight! h I don's know this part of the country very well myself," said the dower, "but 111 see what I can do." , He stopped at the next garage and asked the way to the nearest i ail way station. It was not on the ighway, but they were given a se ries." of turns to be made, corrected by someone called Al from under neath a car. "Not the second right the third, first left, go on past a big kennel, two more lefts and there you are. Sure, there's a train to town at eight something well, I don t know ex actly, but around eight." ' "We dont use trains much,' ex plained the garage-man. They reached the familiar oblong block at last, faintly lit, beside a double track. Seward got out of the car and helped Cathleen, very stiff, to her feet, and they both thanked their Samaritan warmly: the end of their difficulties seemed in sight. "You'd do as much for me. Glad to help you out," he said fraternal- y, and drove away. Thev went inside. The ticket win dow was closed. But Seward had seen a shadowy figure loafing in the door of the baggage-room, and went around there. "When's the next train to New York?" he asked. The station agent looked around. "Train to New York, hey? There ain't but one more tram tonight, and that goes to Springfield." Seward cut all that he felt into a brief explosion of profanity, "That , garage-man down tne road told us there was one for town at eight something!' "He prob'ly didn't mean to mis lead you." the agent said mildly. "That train don't run on Sunday, that s all. You can go to Springfield, and get a tram there for New York." When is the Springfield tram due?" "She pulls in at nine forty-seven. An hour to Springfield. And Springfield was four hours from New York I Add an hour from Grand Central to Cathleen's home It was hopeless. He had to go back and tell her so, hear the star tled catch in her breath as she re peated " no use?" after him. "We can drag around, traveling all night, and I d land you home with the milk unless that Spring field train is a daily-except-Sunday joke too, I didn t think to ask that Maybe we could scare up a car around here and drive in but we've been coming farther from town all the time. We couldn't make it before midnight, probably not as early as that, in the sort of bus we could get around here. "I'm fearfully sorry, Cathleen, but there's only one thing we can do get put up for the night in the village here, I suppose there's a vil lage, l saw a light or two and go in by the eight-sixteen tomorrow 1" Oh," said Cathleen blankly. 'You can tell your people it's an my fault. I don't imagine youll care to go out with me again ever. after the dumb way I ve acted. feel terribly " His face and voice showed his dis tress, a boy's chagrin at having faued in his simple, obvious duty of taking care of a girl. Cathleen put her own dismay aside to com fort him. "I've had a wonderful time, Se ward. I've loved it and there wasn't a single thing that went wrong that was your fault. W e re just out of luck. The worst is, I can't telephone home, we haven't a phone! Usually we send messages to we grocery store, but you see, it s bunday "Well teleeraph them, then, Here, you be writing out what you want to say, while I call up Grange fields and tell them not to expect me tonight. "Oh. whatll I say?" Cathleen wondered, confronted by the tele graph blank. "You have to put it into ten words. ... And ten thousand words, she knew, would never make her father Breakfast " 'is it allowed to Inter bodies within the church edifice?' " 'No. Except in the case of Bishops. Abbots, the Pope, royal personages and Cardinals. And even in such cases the body must be placed at least three feet from the altar, l. e., the tomb or cata falque must stand three feet from the altar. " 'Is it allowed to. bury the faithful la the crypt of a church? (A crypt is a chapel under the floor of the church.) " 'The answer: If the crypt is not used for divine worship, i. e., saying mass, affirmative; if it is used for saying mass, negative.' "The above Quoted law, I be lieve, will convince even those who dispute that the Dorion wom an was buried dans l'Eglise. since this only means below the floor of the church." S S V The reader has been by the translation that dans l'Eglise means in the church, and he has noted that the statement that Marie Iowa had been inhumed meant that her body had been de posited in the ground. Thus there can be no reason able doubt of her burial in the ground in the St. Louis Catholic church, according to the record. There could hare been no rea eon for making a false entry in the record book, That is, in fact, unthinkable. V ! There.is still another record in the old account book of the St. Louis, church in which, for December 18 SO, appears an entry toy .French under .the heading, "casuel I'EgUse," of 21, from Jean Toupin, iu connection with the burial of his wife.

It would sound silly, stupid, unfair to Seward. What she had to say, she could say better after she reached home. So she wrote ten words: "Accidentally delayed unable to get home tonight. Every thing all right Lave Cathleen." Arm in arm. the boy and the girl walked down the dark road away from the station.

"Oh, you ain't?" she looked at them sharply, was satisfied by what she saw you can't take boarders long without learning something of character-reading and resumed, "Well, I have single rooms, too. I can give the young lady one on the second floor, next to the bathroom, and I can let you have one on the third floor. We dont have so many single rooms these days people mostly rather double up and save money I" (To Be Continued) CatrrlfM. 1111. to K'at raatnrai Indlnt. lac.

This is a paragiaph of that address: "I purchased from a Canadian Frenchman in 1845 the farm in French Prairie on which I have since lived. At that time, I had the contract of building the Su Lou Id Catholic church, situated on the western border of what was known as Big Prairie. This church, unlike St. Paul's, located seven miles west of north, was not erected by the assistance of missionary funds, but by the Ca nadian settlers." The Inference is that the church which Mr. Rees erected in 1845 was the first one. The first Catholic church bujlt in present Oregon was a lo? building, erected in 1836, but It stood a considerable distance west of the present St. Paul church. There was a second church build ing at St. Paul, and the present one is the third. The writer thinks the idea of a first log church at St. Louis comes from the one at St. Paul. But, if he is RiistaKen, he will be glad to have confirmation of it, for publica tion. s s The main object in giving so much attention and space to the matter under discussion Is to get at "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." Men and women who read and understand history agree' that the Dorion woman was a character deserving a great deal of honor In connection with the early develop ment of the Oregon country, whose services had far reaching effect upon the destiny ' of this whole coast, and consequently of our nation had the entire world.
