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. : -' ,." " ' ' - -- -

The Great Game
-
t)f Politics -
: By FRANK R. 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.

(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

purposes would restore prosperity

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

But it is not true statistics

Von Guerdon looked at Juliet, his
eyes glowing.
"If you married me I'd adr-e you

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

her. It did not matter much what

made by an indescribable stagna

Just for aa instant she had a

Juliet tried to down these warn

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.

Jnliet was unable to reach Gott
lieb by telephone until after five in
the afternoon. When she told him
the newi of the New York letter,
he sprang alive with excitement.
"That letter's a million dollars
dropped right in year lap I" he
cried. 'We'll telegraph them no,

But we aren't b a position to

with huge figures. A million dol

named. 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

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.

she brought a errata! box of cigar

"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."
Gottlieb was talking blue
streak.
"Then It i decided, rn ro East

"And I know ao." said Juliet
heartily. "You've demonstrated
your business ability ia ao many
deals. Mr. Gottlieb, that I know you
can handle this one far better than
I could. They'd probably ret mi so
confused' I'd tin any eonLrxt
they'd put ia front ef me." -
