Political Wood Smoke LOOK to see if Henry Hanzen isn't throwing the wet wood on the fire to mafce smoke on Governor Martin. The group which called oaffDistrict Attorney Trindle to get him to launch a case to test Martin's right to hold the office left with him a brief prepared by a Portland lawyer who was principal extra legal adviser to Gov. Meier. Where does Hen ry come in? Look up section one, article fifteen of the state constitution: "AH officers, except, membrs of the legislative assembly, shall hold their offices until their successors are elected and qualified." The theory is that if Martin is ineligible because of be ing a retired army officer, Meier is still governor ; and one sees at once what it means for Henry, (et al.) if this theory could be established. The committee which waited on Trindle may be sincere in devotion to the constitution or in hostility to Martin ; they may also be stalking horses for Hanzen. Now what is the provision which is cited against Gen. Martin? Section three, article five: "No member of congress, or person holding any office under the United States, or under this state, or under any other power, shall fill the office of governor, except as may otherwise pro Tided in this constitution.'' The question is, does the fact that Gen. Martin is a re tired officer of the United States army make him ineligible to fill the office of governor? The constitutional question is one we pass over to the lawyers. This practical fact is true : that Gen. Martin's status was well known when he was a can didate for the office. The people knew of him as a pensioned army man ; and the people elected him in full knowledge of his status. From a purely common sense viewpoint the people made their decision last November. The time to have raised the question was when Martin was a candidate or when he took office. The belated discovery of the constitutional pro vision savors more of venting political animosity to the gov ernor than safeguarding the constitution. However, we rec ognize the controlling force of the constitution ; and if ques tion is raised we shall merely let the lawyers fight it or the judges. Robbing the Gamblers WHAT might be called poetic justice operated on the gam blers off Long Beach when their strong box was raided by ship pirates and $35,000 cash stolen. By what law of God or man were the gamblers entitled to the cash in the first place? How may the pirates be prosecuted for stealing stolen money? A question in ethics as well as in law. The sum testifies to the size of the stake in gambling. The spread of the vice has been amazing the last few years. The depression, bad luck on the stock exchange may account for the increase in gambling. Another reason is the decline in standards of personal morals. Many people live on a what thehell basis in these times. Horse and dog racing with pari mutuel betting has been legalized in many states recently. Illinois has gone farther to legalize bookmaking. This gambling racket has grown to immense proportions in Chicago and New York. The circula tion manager on one of the largest newspapers in these cities is head of the bookmaking syndicate. Heretofore it has ex- f M 3 1 " J A A 1 " f- ' 1U. lsieu ty paying protection money to pouce. oo common is me business in Chicago that one can find a bookie at most every cigar counter. In Salem slot machines have been flourishing either with connivance of the police officers, or it is claimed by some in the know, by buying "protection". The presence of the slot machines and their operation and the operation of gambling devices and gaming tables in card rooms has been known; What deserves a grand jury investigation is the local set-up which provides the "protection". How are the profits split? Who gets in on the pay-off? Who stays the hands of enforcement officers, in city and country ; or are their hands afflicted with self -palsy? ' All this talk about legitimizing gambling is false gospel. It will feed, not appease the gambling instinct. Even if it is a persistent vice the state should not be party to its promotion. Stalin of Russia has a new title, "athletes' best friend". He reviewed a parade of 110,000 Russian young people on the Red Square in Moscow, a sports parade, and later witnessed athletic events, tennis games, wrestling, boxing. Volley ball is said to be a favor ite came and Americans have introduced baseball. Russia has gone ports-minded with six mlUion enrolled in organized athletics. The counter-revolution must be on if Russia is taking up sports, along with restrictions on divorce, Paris styles in clothes, and literature not dosed with Marxian ideology. Dr. Abraham Epstein of New York, secretary of the American as sociation for social security, brands the pending pet bill of Roose velt's now in congressional conference, "an economic lunacy," "pure, clumsy stupidity." I. M. Rublnow, vice-president of the organiza tion, caUs it a "distinct and epoch-making advance."

Old man Rockefeller was 98 Oregon ran two column etchings of him, which they might have feared to do SO years ago when Judge Landis was soaking his company 128,- 00.000 in fines. Rockefeller anticipated the rich-soakers. He has given away $500,000,000 to charities and education and health in stitutions. He cashed in five million dollars worth of insurance pol icies Monday though, so he will not have to apply for his Townsend O. A. P. for a few years. Rep. Brewster of Maine called Tom Corcoran, one of the death sentence lawyers, a liar in the utility hearing Tuesday. Brewster is the one who charged pressure was being used to get him to vote for the death sentence under threat of cutting off the Passamaquoddy project to harness Bay of Fundy tides. In any event he has put the administration in a hole so it will have to go ahead pouring thirty six millions in the Fundy funnel, more "Brewster's Millions '. Sec.

ONE of the arguments most fre quently used to allay the alarm felt by conservatives over Mr. Roosevelt's policies has been that the president was the "real bul wark" between . the business of the country and the "wild men" of congress. BUT for him, it was contended. congress, seizing the bit in Its teeth, would run away and upset everything. This has been a fav orite theme tor some of his more devout Journalistic Interpreters. Wkh it his intimates have ex plained the sops to silver, his "share the wealth" messages, his friendship with the Inflationists, the tremendous outpouring of federal funds in fact, almost everything. He, it was urged, had to seem radical in order to keep the real radicals from go ing to extremes. The gist of their song has been that if it had not been for Mr. Roosevelt we would have had a revolution. TO men who know the person nel of the senate and house, this has always appeared a complete ly fallacious and utterly Insincere argument Congress, like the country, has always seemed to them intensely and overwhelm ingly conservative. The radicals have been much more noisy but nothing like as numerous. The new deal contention has been that this was no longer true, that the depression had greatly In creased radical sentiment, and only a man such as Mr. Roose velt, who,, showed sympathy with the radical point of view by ges tures toward the left, could keep them in hand. Otherwise, they in sisted, a revolt would occur. THE recent defeat of the presi dent on the public utility holding bill makes this argument look extremely ridiculous. In the light of the facts it seems wholly dis proved. What the vote showed was what most thoughtful men have never doubted to-wit, that actually Mr. Roosevelt is, and has been from the start of his ad ministration, far more radical than congress, and that a major ity of house and senate would prefer to follow him in a con servative direction. Cer t a i n. 1 y. that is true of both house and senate leaders. Congress as a whole Is less radical than the White House and the test on the holding company bill proves it. HERE was a measure aimed against a great industry which tor more than a generation has been the target for every politi cal demagogue in both parties. It was right up the radical alley. The sins of certain holding com panies made the attack plausible and the president of the United States made the issue personal. He did more than that he ex erted every ounce of pressure and every resource of the administra tion to have his way. He pub licly and fiercely denounced the lobby of the utility companies. but it is conceded that the ad ministration lobbied with equal Intensity and disregard of re straint. IT is charged that threats to withhold federal funds for pub lic works were made against re calcitrant congressmen. Purely political agents like Mr. Hurja. assistant to Mr. Farley, and through whom most of the small er federal patronage sifts, were thrown Into the fight. Yet, the president's bill was saved in the senate, where he has a two-thirds majority, by a single vote and that obtained only after the most desperate administration effort. In the house, where the "wild men" are supposed to be wildest. the president lost by more than 100 majority a really devastat ing defeat when it is considered how deeply he had involved him self personally in the fight and the violence with which he made it. EVERY real radical in house and senate was with Mr. Roosevelt in this business. There was not one of the "wild men" on the other side. But in the senate, though a good many democrats voted with the president for personal reasons and against their bet ter judgment, he won by one vote only, while in the house, where the presidential fight was even more frantic, he lost by a hun dred. It does seem that after this we should hear no more of this "Roosevelt the bulwark against the wild men in congress" ar gument. After this even his most ardent admirers should hesitate to suggest that he has saved us from "revolution'' or kept con gress from "Winning away with the country." The real radicalism is in the White House, not In congress. Woman 80 Years Old Undergoes Operation SILVERTON. July 9. Mrs. Hannah -B.

' V. "Soon as we dropped anchor we were visited by the custom house officers, health officers, and, lastly, by the captain gener al, and his suite. He was a fine. portly looking man; looked as though he and the world were on the best terms possible. Af ter going through the preliminar ies of a visit, he took the cap tain and his ladies on shore with him. "After they left we were visit ed by bumboats, as they are term ed, filled with oranges, pineap ples, cigars and jellies. The offi cers would not allow them on the vessel for fear of creating sick ness, but some of the passengers managed to smuggle a few on hoard by means of baskets at tached to a rope. "We were compelled to remain all night, as no vessel is allowed to leave between sunset and sun rise. But it gave us an opportun ity to see the sun rise over the hills and bathe the city and har bor in a flood of golden light. S S "There were some 50 vessels in the bay with Bails all set on the eve of departure for their far-off homes, and the Jolly heave-ho of the sailors as they hoisted the an chors, mingled with the song and the jest, came floating to us on the balmy breath of the morning. It spoke of light and merry hearts enlivened with the hopes of a speedy reunion with friends at home while our courses were set for the land of the stranger. S "There are no wharves at Ha vana. Vessels are obliged to lay off in the bay; they are loaded and unloaded by means of light ers. It is very expensive and la borious. The shore is very bold in many places, and ships of the largest class can haul close to the shore without any difficulty. "The natives are about 50 years behind the age. A little Yankee genius and enterprise would de velop things amazingly here. S S "We weighed anchor about 8 a. m. and sped on our way, with gentle breezes and a calm sea.

"Sat down to a decent dinner about 1 P. m., and at 1:80 took the cars for that interesting conn try, Panama. V "Had a very pleasant ride over. The road on each side was lined with groves of palm trees. The rains had laid the dust. We were also provided with cool breezes; they were very acceptable. "We arrived at Panama about 4:30 p. m., and, learning that the steamer would not sail that night, we went up to the city and took quarters at the American hotel. "After partaking of a lunch, I went back to the station to have my tickets registered, and my state room assigned me, so as to be ready to go on board in the morning. S "Found a large number of pas sengers there; concluded to await my turn with the rest, when we heard the report of a pistol, and soon after the cry, "An American has been shot!' "Immediately all was excite ment, a rush was made by the passengers many for the scene of action, some to the hotels, where their families were; others to the ferry boats. S "I took my station in the freight room door, where I wit nessed all that transpired on the outside. Saw a native run up among the negro huts, pursued by an American, followed by the re port of a pistol. "Soon after the latter returned and all was quiet for a few min utes; but the flame was only smothered a little, not exting uished. "In a few moments a large crowd of natives came rushing down from the cienega (swamp) with their passions all aroused, exclaiming that one of their num ber had been shot by an Ameri can, and they must have revenge, and with the cry, 'Cavaho Ameri cano!' they made a rush for the Triangle, a small drinking saloon kept by an American. "This was soon sacked, amid the yells of the natives, the crash of glass, and the reports of pis tols. "From this they proceeded to the hotels and stores, which they served in a like manner, robbing the occupants and demolishing ev erything that came in their way, also partaking freely of the li quors, which fitted them for the scenes that soon followed. "A large number of them col lected outside of the cienega, and commenced firing upon the depot, and among the passengers on the outside.

Mantel, still chuckling like a benevolent gnome, walked swiftly to his waiting car and was driven home. He went immediately to his li brary and, sitting at the big desk, drew the leather-bound book, with out title or any sort of mark, toward hint. He unlocked it and laid It open before him, at the page marked: "Solution," and wrote: "The chip of brick and mortar broken from the wall of Vane's penthouse, beyond reach, suggested to me that the body could have been slang onto the- roof from the build ing in process of erection. Assuming that the body was not that of Iaobel Vane, it was reason able to suppose that Iaobel herself bad left the apartment by the fire escape. The fact that her jewels were gone, but that there were no signs of burglary, and that her bed was undisturbed further strengthened mv theor? of voluntary flisrht. - The finger prints on veronal bot tle not checking with Vane's or those of the body, might easily, therefore, be those ox the missing wife. I discovered that among Isobel's many lovers waajloger Thornley. I also discovered that he was the contractor on the building-next door, having access to it at any time. I went through this building and found a derrick operating within reach of the Vane terrace. Having noticed the birthmark on the dead body which caused the mother to identify it, caused me to think that no woman who lived by the beauty of her body would have permitted this blemish to remain long on hers. I therefore found the plastic surgeon and discovered that my deductions were correct and that he had indeed removed such blemish from the body of Isobel Vane, and therefore. H was certain that the body was that of an on known woman. Who. wishing to elope with the notorious Isabel would prevented from so doing, by the tie of another woman? , The only one was Roger Thorn ley. Upon investigation he- was. shown to have left by motor with his wife Millie for the West Coast two days before the murder. Old Sttky, starting voodoo magic against some uakaowB man, was well worth watching. It was easy to deduce that the man she hated was Roger Thornley because of his abuse of Millie whom the old woman loved. The chemist in Greenwich Village could not identify Vane, but only knew that the man who purchased the veronal said he was Vane. In the same way, a man's voice announcing the murder had said he was Renton, but there was no proof that it was Renton. end later plenty Orchard Heights Women Leaving on Journey to Kansas ORCHARD HEIGHTS, July 9.

This would argne-that someone had plotted the elopement and the murder with care. There were two women missing in whom I was interested. One of them was dead. They were Isobel Vane and Millie Thornley. The post cards that kept arriving from Millie Thornley were difficult to account for. The murder of Donetta Dane, its similarity to the first murder, sav ing for the presence of the head, and the presence of Roger Thornley. with his inimical attitude toward Vane, strengthened my suspicion of him. Betty's report of the whispered conversations overheard in the hall, and Thomley's threat because ox Donetta's knowledge of some move of Gerry Gordon's, made me send for the fist of women sailing on the Teeyo Kishen Kaisfaa Line. I had also found the shreds of a telegram in Thomley's room at Millhank Manor, with the name of this steamship line on it And I was assured by everyone. Including Betty, that Mrs. Roger Thornley had sailed on this line. I was also assured that Donetta had known that Gerry Gordon had sailed too. and that that was what had angered Thornley. I found that Mrs. Thornley had sailed for China as indicated, but that no Gerry Gordon was listed. What had happened to this other woman, who now seemed to have disappeared? There were three women in whom I was interested. Two of whom had vanished. One was dead. Mjr job was to prove that the dead one was not Mrs. Isobel Vane.

"The murder ef Donetta Dane was due to fear of her knowledge that she might inadvertently ex pose him. It was an attempt to hide his own trail and further implicate Vane. The cards supposed to be sent by Millie could have easily been writ ten and signed by her. on almost any excuse before the two left New York, to be posted by Roger at cor rect intervals. Donetta Dsns was sn innocent victim. The only thing she had to fear was a fetish of her own. She did not -want her husband to know that she had ever posed in the nude lor Lawrence Vane. That was the reason for her whispered request of him and his assurance of sflence. Again he leaned back and sur veyed bis work. He removed his glasses and stroked one eyebrow thoughtfully, then murmured to himself: "I wish I could write In the most interesting part, to me that not only have I been able to save an in nocent man and bring a guilty sne to justice, but I have been Instru mental in bringing young hearts together- life is verv kind to is. oma times, very kind." He leaned forward, dosed the book, snapped the lock, and placed the key on a separate hanger with in secret drawer in the desk. Then he took out another book, identical with the one he had yast locked. All the pages were blank. He took out small brushes and embossing stamps and go!d liquid.. Carefully he drew on the cover of the book he had just locked, a small bottle, and a golden derrick He then laid the locked book aside, and drew the virgin, blank one toward him.
