er averred, a sharp division be
tween the 11 southern states and
the states ot the north and west.
The "new sectionalism" was pic
tured as a horizontal one with
one class set against another and
economic minorities attempting to.
enforce their interests at the ex
pense of the majority.
America was organized on the
basis ot freedom from classes,"
Mr. Sprague said. "It was possible
for a child born in a log cabin
later to become a president: it
was possible for a man to start
j poor and acquire wealth and
prominence; we have taken pride
in a society without classes.
Teadrwjr Toward Class
Conflict is Growing
"There is growing disposition
in the country to set class against
class; to inflame the poor against
the rich and the rich against the
less-favored clashes. Demagogues
sow seeds of hatred. The great
middle class which has been the
bulwark of the country is threat
eaed by the strife. It is this new
sectionalism which I wish to warn
against. There is no more virtue
in a horizontal cleavage than in a
geographical or vertical cleav
age. "The cleavage by economic
groups represents another type
of sectionalism," Mr. Sprague de
clared. "We used to hold In hor
Tor what we called class legisla
tion; now every group seems to
favor legislative privileges. I can
not criticize all the demands of
special interests, but when the
demands of the juniority trespass
unduly on the Interests of the
people as a whole, the time has
come to call a bait.
"These new cleavages weaken
the national structure. As the se
cession of the south threatened
the perpetuity of the nation, so
thjinew divisions of today, of
on ; economic group against an
other, one class against another,
fragments the solid rock ot the
nation as a whole."
The speaker urged the audi
ence to renew its pledge ot al
legiance to the ideals of the na
tion and to its flag, standing for
an indivisible country one free
from class struggle and economic
favoritism with liberty and Jus
tice for all citizens.
Memorial Days of
Past are Recounted
In opening his address, the
speaker recounted memories of
earlier Memorial days parades
of men fresh from the "late"
war, the muster of G. A. R. vet
erans at the civic square, the daz
zling blue uniforms which the
veterans wore and the roll of the
drum and the music of the fife
produced by the men who had
carried on in the four-yWr strug
gle. It was in the east and mid
west that the civil war left its
deepest imprints, he observed,
Oregon Itself, then remote be
cause of lack of transportation
and communication, having had
but little share in the great
struggle. For this state Memor
ial day reached its full signifi
cance only as veterans of the
war migrated here in large num
bers. Calvert B. Glover, accompan
ied by Mrs. Jetisie Bush, sang
"There is No D-iath" and "The
Deathless Army.' The audience
jof&ed in singing "America" at
tbe opening of. the meeting and
cleied it with the singing of ''The
Stir Spangled Banner."

Petillo, a driving madman,
down to his last penny before his
luck finally turned today, ham
mered over the 500 miles of rough
brick, 200 laps of a track built to
accommodate the 90-mile an hour
speeds of 25 years ago, in four
hours, 42 minutes. 22.71 seconds,
at a record - shattering average
speed of 106.240 miles an hour.
But for the fact that a sprinkle
of rain in the late stages 6lowed
what was left of the field to 75
miles an hour for 33 miles, he
would have slaughtered even fur
ther the 10 4.863 mile average
"Wild Bill" Cummings, of Indian
apolis, set last year.
Cummings, driving a steady,
heady race, finished third, five
miles back of Petillo, and three
miles behind Wilbur Shaw, who
stayed with the pace all the way,
and came from fourth to within
two miles of Petillo in the last
300 miles.

captors hold the secret of his
fate.
Rumors persisted also that a
"key" man in the $200,000 snatch
case was sought by federal agents,
who revealed nothing.
Three cardboard boxes, about a
foot square and two inches deep,
were hustled into the house from
an automobile which entered the
driveway about 6:30 o'clock. An
unidentified man made the deliv
ery. A few minutes later the big au
tomobile that belonged to the late
J. P. Weyerhaenser sr., drove
away with several people in the
rear seat who could not be identi
fied beeanse of drawn curtains.

quarter of a mile from the Agas-
stz-Rosedale ferry which connects
the north and south sides of the
Vancouver - Harrison Hot Springs

Under the new system, infor
mation of vital Importance to
members of the association can be
disseminated rapidly and effect
ively, and members predict this
innovation will go far to eliminate
the operations of bad check artists
and credit cheaters.
The system operates on a chain
idea, each merchant being respon
sible for relaying the information
from the credit bureau to two oth
er merchants.
Warnings passed to local mer
chants during this month include
the passing of counterfeit five dol
lar bills, pyramiding of credit by
a woman preparing to leave for
other parts, and attempts of a
wood hauler to obtain credit at
seven different stores on the
strength of a contract against
which he already had given orders
in excess of possible returns.
The Credit association meets
on the fifth floor of the Masonic

Since "aerial warfare can reach
