' Courageous Sam Brown SAM H. BROWN of Gervais takes first rank for political courage. He proposes to win Senator Charles L. McNary's seat in the senate. With $40 and a Ford the Marion county fanner made a good showing in the race for the republican nomination for governor four years ago but vieing with Joe Dunne and Rufus Holraan for that honor is one thing and seeking to take "Charley" McNary's job is another. All this state knows, as do leaders at Washington, that Oregon's senior representative in the senate is an exceeding ly capable man. A national figure through his ability to har monize and conciliate conflicting forces in the party, McNary has never forgotten his own state. He can always be counted upon for prompt action, whether its the matter of a new postoffice for Salem or securing the Bonneville dam for the northwest 'f The only valid excuse Senator Brown can give for his own candidacy is a political urge which the years cannot quell , together with a belief that the Townsend issue has become of transcendent importance and that anyone who advocates it staunchly has possibilities at the polls. Senator McNary has been tactful and considerate in dealing with the Townsend plan. He has promised it his full study. He has stood firmly for adequate old-age pensions. But he cannot be considered even a mild supporter of the fanciful tenets of the Long Beach doctor. Not so with Sam Brown. A few years ago it was "free power" which sent him Jo the stump for George W. Joseph. Now with a new economic will-of-the-wisp catching popular fancy, Sam Brown hears anew the voice of his friends urging him to save the country from its sins. The political going will be more difficulty than the Gervais farmer anticipates. A majority of Oregonians are not bamboozled by the Townsend scheme. Nor are they unmindful that Oregon's senior sen ator deserves to stay in the upper house as long as he wants to remain. The state needs him. The republican organization of which he is floor leader cannot spare him. Senator Brown will get a nucleus of votes but lie is en gaged in wishful thinking if he believes he can upset the in cumbent senator. Oregon is going to return Senator McNary to Washington. ; Industrial Tantrums BECAUSE Portland sees fit to enforce a smoke-density or dinance against the Doernbecher Furniture company, the management of that valued industrial concern announces it will move the plant at once to another state. The company declares that the installation of new equipment to meet the complaints of the city is too expensive. Similar agonizing was heard for years in Salem when the Oregon Pulp & Paper company covered a wide area with its cinders. After much kicking and screaming the plant did in stall a cinder eliminator, the justified complaints of citizens were at an end and the company has maintained its solvency. Industries, especially those as important as the Doern becher company, have a practice of bulldozing their home communities. No one wants the Doernbechers to leave Port land; no one wants them. unduly penalized by unjust laws. . But the petulance and "have our way or quit" attitude of the company is not convincing. Intense smoke emitted from a factory is detrimental to home property and to its inhab itants. A municipality has a right to insist that a factory, no matter how large or important it is, so operate that it does not do damage to the territory surrounding it. From an ec onomic standpoint, removal of the plant to another state will be far more costly to the furniture company than making the necessary changes in plant equipment to meet the city s smoke-density ordinance. The Doernbecher tantrum is not justified and the industrial committee of the Portland cham ber of commerce should keep calm. Muddled Europe EUROPE is settling down to a period of diplomatic blind-man's-bluff. Germany has occupied the demilitarized Rhineland and aggrieved as scared France may be, the other signers of the Locarno pact will take ho economic or military move to push Hitler's troops from that territory. Mussolini welcomes a diversion of attention from his Ethio pian campaign. II Duce will not turn a hand to assist the na tions whi:h only last fall imposed sanctions against his ter ritory. England's Tory government is muddling with the situa tion. In realistic fashion it has accepted Germany rearma ment and now is disposed to sponsor some patch-work se curity embodied in a new international agreement. England knows that Germany will no longer tolerate the role of a humbled, humiliated loser of the war. News reports are full of the twists and turns and am biguities of the continent Rows in the league of nations council. Bluffs by Hitler. Trial balloons from England's An thony Eden. No nation is ready for war in Europe but the harbingers of the conflict are on all hands. New alliances are emerging. Speculation persists on the next trouble spot; Russia and Japan in the east; an overt act by the Nazis along the French border; a demand by Germany for return of some of her colonies. Sophisticated, ambassadors have lost the little faith they once held in covenants between nations. With dictators pressed at home by the continuing economic difficulties con fronting each European country, armed conflict in Europe Is inevitable within a decade. Unions Must Clean House THE fortnight which has elapsed since the tragic slaying of union pickets near Seaside in a guerilla warfare be tween rival loggers' unions has revealed anew the imper ative necessity of a better type of union leadership. The kill ings at Seaside were-not the result of employer interference; they caniot be attributed to greedy capital. They resulted solely from the gangster tactics of the Seaside .local of the Sawmill and Timber Workers' union. A nucleus of beat-up men in that organization were augmented by pug-uglies from ' outside the territory and using a doctrine of force, these men attempted ta club their way into control of the Crown-Wil-lamette' logging: operations in that territory; Unionism has the merit of providing a collective means for labor to barfcain for better working conditions, for short er; hoars and for improved working conditions. It can never succeed as extra-legal force which enforces its demand Dy brawn-power and bullets. The public wants fair play, not gangsterism. When men are killed in a hi-j sicking battle the Ultimate confidence Of the public in the, ability of men to or ganize and to deal with other groups for labor advantages is impaired. The Sawmill and Timber Workers' union should publicly repudiate the leadership which inspired the tragedy at Seaside. : -' ,."

KENT Coprriftt 19J5, fc Tie Baltimore Baa New Deal Spirit Rise - Washington. March 21 THERE, la a general feeling In Washlnrton that tttm nuMi reelaetlon chances, hare improved in tne iaat three weeks, that the tide which had been running against him has been a t opped, that there la an up swing In the It o oeevelt di rection. Reflec- 1 1 o n of this notion is evi denced in the changed bear ing of the New rraak B. Seat Dealers. They hate thrown off their nervous ness, recovering the smug com placency In which they were so long enveloped. Mr. Roosevelt himself, who a tew veeks ago had many moody moments, is reported again gay and carefree, sure the situation Is "well in hand." EXAMINATION of the facta, how ever, reveals several .obvious things. One Is that return of New Deal cockiness has to do more with the smoothing out ot the pre convention situation than with the general campaign. Not, of course, that there has been any doubt about the Roosevelt renomi natlon. There was, though, as late as the first ot March, a prospect that it would not be effected with out a serious protest from anti New Deal Democrats, which would emphasize the split In the party and damage the candidate in the country. THERE was the chance that by conspicuous Democrats In the con vention Mr. Roosevelt might be denounced as not a Democrat, in dicted for repudiation of platform uromises and for the national menace of his policies. There had been several conferences of anti Roosevelt Democrats at which plans to make a convention dem onstration were discussed. There was an unduly optimistic feeling among them that it would be pos sible to get as many as 200 dele rates not enough, of course, to threaten the Roosevelt nomina tion but enough to voice the anti Roosevelt sentiment of the party. The Roosevelt managers were aware of this morement and con siderably alarmed. THAT danger has passed and Its passage is tbe real reason for the recovered bouyancy of spirit. The movement has "evaporated. Prob ably there will be no protest at all. A unanimous-or nearly unan i m ous renominat!on seems as sured. Several factors are respon sible for this but the chief one is the weight of the Federal machine as applied by the blatant but skillful Mr. Farley. An ex ample of his work was seen a week ago in New Hampshire, where the Federal Jobholders, in cluding the relief agencies, rushed into the primary fight and crushed the opposition. Their real activity followed a visit from Mr. Farley. In State after State, the Post master-General is now engaged in aiaking function the great Federal machine which he has been build ing up. There Is no chance to win against this machine in the pri maries. It dominates the local or yanizatlon and. in a primary con test, is irresistible. Making a suc cessful primary fight against any silting President is an almost un heard of thing. o A SECOND reason for New Deal satisfaction is that the Al Smith speech of which they were much afraid, did no real damage. There were three explanations of that one, Mr. Smith made his speech under the worst possible auspices; second, it was badly limed, -would have been tar more effective if held nntil the convention; third, the publicity gentlemen, using Senator R obinson's mouth "smeared" Mr Smith considerably. It gave them a chance to be skill fully cheap about the unfortunate DuPonts and the Liberty League. The death of Albert C. Ritchie ?Iso helped the pre-conventlon situation. He was no bolter, but he was strongly opposed to the Roosevelt renmination and the Roosevelt policies, had no Inten tion of stultifying himself in the convention by meek acquiescence, and was the most engaging figure in the anti-New Deal group. THERE is also to be taken Into account the flopping into line of the routine type of Democratic politician to whom "regularity" is essential. There is, too, the type of congenital Democrat who despises the Roosevelt policies, but Illogic- ally says. "I just can't bring my self to vote the RepubUcaa tic ket." Altogether, It is easy to see reasons for thinking things look better for Mr. Roosevelt. So they do. His Federal machine Is func tioning, the primary opposition has collapsed, the politicians are falling into line and the extreme ly partisan Democrat who still clings ta the label is lining up. NONE the less. it seems worth while to point out that this Is p re- Convention strength, that It is en tirely normal, thai It In no way affect the- fact that people, who voted against Mr. Roosevelt In 1932 and are now for him are exceedingly bard to find, whereas the country Is fall of Democrat! and Republicans who voted for him in lstz.-but will not again. That plain truth is the snake the mora intelligent of the New Deal politicians take to bed with them every night. And neither they nor anyone else will know the number of these voter before they are counted. They hold the key to the election. League Day Planned SILVERTON. March 21. ' A special obaerance of Internationa league day Is being planned for March 21 when the three Luther leagues of Silverton will hold a 'otnt session at Trinity church. These include the leagues of Trin ity, Immanuel and Calvary churches. . 1 " -j - " if- w By R. J. Rank foolishness about , . S-22-XI treatment in prisons. the r e parole board and other things: -A very silly set of arguments: w (Concluding from yesterday:! Our crime condition In the United States Is one of our most serious problems. It is deserving of our highest statesmanship, which, generally speaking, it is not getting. S S V It presents a needless expense of more than 18 billion, dollars a rear. - Its cost diverted to. useful purposes would restore prosperity and kill the depression. - ' s s The writer holds that penology should be studied In every Institu tion of higher learning. That no person administering criminal laws, from the policeman on his beat to the Judge of the highest court, should be without preparation In this field. Then would Intelligent methods be employed from the bottom up, where now is a large proportion of gross ignorance. They do it better In England and in some European counties than we do, for several reasons. First, we have 41 states, there fore 48 systems, besides a num ber more for the federal prisons, those ot the nited States array, and of the United Statea navy. S In England they have one sys tem, as in several other countries. ' A man convicted of a felony in England is sent to the prison or institution best arranged to take care of his case; of his type. If he is a tough bird, he goes to a prison with high, thick walls, and equipment and provisions to hold and handle the hard boiled type. S If his is an accidental case, coming from a set of circumstanc es that might enmesh any normal person, he Is housed and treated accordingly. oases like manslaughter, for in stance, that almost never become recidivists, repeaters, "second time losers," or more. Contrary to the general Idea, such prisoners are among the most trustworthy, most amenable to rules. For some of the best types of persons In England who get into prison through accidental, envir onmental or economical reasons, English prisons have more the semblance of work Shops or coun try homes than of average peni tentiaries. . Tbe state of New York is or ganizing along the same line, with her Siberia of state prisons Dan nemora at Clinton, and her vir tual receiving station Sing Sing. So with California, her Folsom prison the Siberia of western pri sons, and San Quentin an educa tional Institution larger than Oregon State college, and with more university degree members of the faculty and every mem ber under sentence for a felony. w The reader often hears the statement that we have more crime in the United States than we are entitled to according to our population, compared with other countries. Also, that this is because we have so many people from foreign countries. Well, this ought to be especially 1 true, men, or ew york City, the most cosmopolitan of our metro politan areas. But it is not true statistics show that native born Americans exceed their proportional number In accusations for and convictions of crimes.

' In spits of the many advantages of well given irrigations in suitable cases. It is probable that many persons are un wisely depending ,on this form of treatment.

' Crimes are largely crimes et property, or rather ot want. S Oregon In the thirties and early forties of the last century )tA practically no crime; had and needed no jail or prison. There was no abject poverty; no one went, hungry or cold or naked. It la possible to approximate that condition again, and, ot; all our states, Oregon ought to be this earliest. Why? Because we have" the greatest natural diversity to make not only our prisons self supporting but to render .our whole population self sufficient. Alls volat propriis (she flies with her own wings) were the only words on the seal of the Oregon provisional government The more completely our people live up to them the greater will be their prosperity, contentment, and general well being. Free Seed Given At Sorghum Mill BRUSH CREEK, March 21. J The A. Klopfenatein's who intro duced raising cane for sorghum here, are offering free seed at their sorghum mill near Brash Creek school. TLe Klopfenstelns report that all the sorghum they harvested was sold long before the first of the year and that they have been receiving many orders they could not fill. Last year a number of the farmers grew a little patch of cane to furnish sorghum for their household use, .having it prepared cn shares at the Klopfenstein mill. Zooks For Dinner SILVERTON, March 21.

You know I would." Juliet took so long a pause for reflection that there waa time for Von Guerdon, very calmly, to ex tract a fresh cigarette and light it. This, though, was to cover his nervousness. Juliet probably settled her fate while he waa blowing out the flame of his match. She was aware of a cool disappointment creeping over her. It did not matter much what her mind thoughtthe decision was made by an indescribable stagna tion around her heart. 1 said I ought to marry you," the said, "or kick 700 out Well, I'm going to do the thing that will please you least.

May we suggest that you send one of your partners to New York with authority to sign such a contract, provided we arree apon terms. "Frankly, ws are tremendouslv interested and would appreciate im mediate action on your part." This was the first tangible result of Juliefs Ideas for expansion. A triumphant sensation, vigorous and intoxicating took possession of her a teeming exhilaration of power and energy rushed new color into her face, a new sparkle to her eyes. After so many fruitless attempts, she realized, she had lifted herself above the entire herd of struggling career-girls. "Do yoa want to ro to New York?" she asked O'Hara buoy antly. He began te laugh at the excite ment she could not conceal. "It is a thrill, isnt it? But I'm not going to snatch your laurels away, Juliet. I think yoa ought to go personally. It was your inspira tion that opened up this field. Why donl yoa go back and grab the con tract yourself!" Just for aa instant she had a swimming delight at the picture of herself sitting in conference with bir Eastern executives and carry' ing off a victory that would be sen sational. "Oh, I'd love it I" she exclaimed, her whole face alight. set, as sne spoke, ber sane voice of wisdom began a still small argu ment that could not be ignored. It said to her that she was. after alL just a girl, and not a hardened and crafty business man. In the matter of contracts and negotiations and technical produc tion figures she was alarmingly ig norant, r She might inspire a great C reject, bat it required a hardened usiness man to put it across. . The Eastern capitalists would be come instantly skeptical if they had to do business with a girl whose in experience they would soon discover. No. it would have to be aa older and wiser person Juliet tried to down these warn inn bat they persisted. It wis, in deed, a wrench to forego such a spectacular coup. Even the thought of its elevated her like champagne. The battle waa between wisdom ea oaa side and her feminine vanity on the other. "Oh, I donl know what to say," she confessed, flashed and puzzled. "I'd love to go yet I really daren't Perhaps we could both go together doe rat that make your head whirl? m tell you what yoa come up to my house for dinner to night and well talk it over. It's its tbe most important thing that's ever happened to me in my whole life." e e e Jnliet was unable to reach Gott lieb by telephone until after five in the afternoon.

He gets twenty per cent of that, she computed mentally, and I get half of his. A hundred thou sand dollars for her own share 1 It was a glorious unbelievable dream. She found herself trem bling and pressed her palms to her hot temples. This daze was still upon her when she returned home with O'Hara. Katie, preparing dinner for them, knew that something im portant was in the air. The pres ence of O'Hara, just as a single factor, was enough to set every thing revolving for Katie. The whole apartment, from the moment he entered, seemed filled with gold en lights vibrating rapidly. In this state of mind she bean burning lamb chops and opening cans of watery corn and peas and asparagus. - Tbe animated con versation from the living; room reached her in snatches ana meant nothing. Their conversation. Katie gath ered, concerned nothing but stupid and unintelligible business. "Believe me, wouldn't waste my . time talking business to him!" she told herself, wistfully. He's going to stay for dinner, she realized, and maybe hell notice what a pretty girl I am. I really am beautiful lam, I am! I'm ter ribly in love with him. It's just like a motion picture, I could throw my self in his arms and it would be heaven! She slipped into her bedroom ar.d did a number of things to her face with a bfack pencil and a small pink puff and a lipstick. With a comb she caressed her bright hair. Facing sideways, she managed to glimpse her profile, a chiseled regu larity, fresh and clear as procelain. and never a trace of the surgeon's knife that had removed every de fect. She stood on. a diminutive firure of tender curves and flat youthful surfaces. Girls with such faces and forms are dancers in vaudeville acts and always Peel off their clothes to be photographed. Katie bestowed a ravishing smile upon her own reflection. Eetuxxunr to, the nnnr room. she brought a errata! box of cigar ettes to O'Hara. "Have one?" Thanks, Katie. Only that She went back to the lamb chops and opened the kitchen window to let oat some of the smoke. He was not indifferent just busy with that absurd business. Another voice was raised in the living room that old aad utterly meaningless Gott lieb. Probably they'd keep op their silly talk for hoars. .The table oua-at to be set. Katie supposed. There was a whole skil letful of the lamb chops. Set a olate for Jnliet and one for each of the men that made three. Juliet probably wouldn't mind if Katie set a plate for her self, too. Why not? One thing about Miss Rankin she never made a girl feel like a servant. More like a companion. i our plates went on the table in the hninr room. She would sit next to him. watch hint eat, pass hint things. Sooner er later he would have to notice her. She out her ahininr head into the tiring room. 'Dinner's served."
