Answering your editorial of
Sunday, October 11, wo do most
heartily commend your last state

training youth to total abstin

W.C.T.U. Is endeavoring to do in
placing within access to all in-

as well as ny other workers, cop
ies I of Bertha R. Palmer's "A Syl
labus In Alcohol Education."
which discusses in a simple yet
scientific way the facts relative
to alcohol, educating for total ab
stinence. Other statements in your edi
torial we most emphatically de
nounce. We grant that the trans
portation facilities make local op
tion more difficult in one way.

for things to get so bad that peo

MEAXLXGS OF WORDS
To the Editor: I
May I suggest that Mary C.
Brockway. 1812 N. E. 51strave-
nue, Portland, Oregon, do a little
bit of studying in regard to the
use of -words? May I suggest also
that she think a while of the def
initions of these "democracy,
communism, socialism,' heretic,
lax, liberal and revolutionary."
First pf all, the word "revolu
tionary" Is not 1 merely a prefix
for the word "war." Secondly, a
person must hare a calm intelli
gence before he can be consffl-
ered liberal. He must know both
sides of the question involved;
and he must understand the strug
gles, experience,! fears, hopes and
desires of the persons involved.
The word "liberal" takes for
granted that such knowledge,
kindly understanding and toler
ance of the entire situation, ac
tually exists; otherwise, how can
one be "free from narrowness in
ideas and doctrines?" The so
called "liberal arts" are "litera
ture, science, history, the lang
uages and philosophy." I wonder
how small our own knowledge of
those arts really is yet we are
'liberal!" f

In permitting ''workers schools"
to continue one may be neither
lax nor liberal, but merely in
different, and without an interest
in such schools. We cannot be lib

have made a thorough study o"f
them, and have acquired a com
plete understanding of the prin
ciples Involved: nor are we lax
in regard to them unless we have
a desire to be ignorant of them.
Before one condemns a man he
should permit that - man ' to hare
a fair trial. Before condemning a
school . one should attend and
understand the purpose and fruit
of that school. Often those deter
mined to condemn certain new
ideas become the most ardent pro
moters of those same Ideas, once
they have learned of the motives
and principles involved.
One who objects should expect
to be berated for having made
that objection. Anyone who takes

expects to suffer for that cause.

SURPRISED AT PROFESSnrt
Editor Statesman:
In the issue of your paper of
October 13, I note an article
headed, "Panacea Basis Held In
Error," in which Prof. W. C.
Jones, professor of economics at
Willamette university, says that,
"The Townsend plan fails to dis
tinguish between -money and
wealth; for it would give 10 mil
lion persons or 8 per cent of the
people, 24 billion dollars to be
converted immediately into goods
and services." Now there are only
8 million people who would be
eligible to receive the annuity,
and It would cost no-one any
thing except for the first month
one and one-half billion dol
lars then the money collected
by the transaction tax would be
revolved the next month, and
paid over again, and during the
process wealth would be produced
through the labors of the people.
This in turn would be forced
into circulation through constant
demand for more goods, and thus
produce more wealth, through la
bor producing more goods.
Again Mr. Jones says that, "It
would put 30 per cent of all
wealth into the hands of 8 per
cent of the people, or in other
words, it would take 30 per cent
of all production to pay the bill."
This would absolutely not be the
case for the tax will not be based
on production nor Income, but
on the turnover, and it would
not only "put the wealth in the
hands of 8 per cent of the peo
ple, but into the hands of 122
million, or all the people, for it
will revive all business and help
everyone whether in business or
not, except the "coupon clippers,"
and it would help them also, if
not financially it wonld tearh
them that they are. "their bro
ther's keeper," and that if they
do not want to be classed with
those whom the scriptures says
this of, "go to now ye rich men
weep and howl for the miseries
that shall be heaped upon von."
they will have to help those who
nave helped them get their
wealth.
More than this I will say I
am surprised that a college pro
fessor . would be so blinded with
either ignorance or prejudice as
to make such statements as he
has in this article!
Here is what one of the great
est Insurance executives In the
United States says of the Town-
send plan, and many other great
minds which I can cite are say
ing the same. "You know when
Dr. Townsend formulated his
plan everybody thought it was
crazy; everybody, I mean, except
the Insurance men. We sat down
with pencils and paper and figur
ed it ant. There Is nothing fan
tastic about it at all It's as
simple as two and two make four.
Ask any first-rate actuary and he
will tell you.
"Sure r It will work, and If
they'd put it in operation they'd
not only pay off the pensions to
the old folks, but they'd hare
plenty -of money to spare. Don't
ever think that " we think it's
cockeyed." This statement was
made by this Insurance man ; a
few weeks ago when he, with
many omer insurance men. 'was
called to Washington, D. C, to
attend the president's insurance
conference.
If Mr. Jones cannot see the
true facts concerning the Town
send plan after studvine It.
(which it is presumed he has
not or he would not make such
statements) one would conclude
he has missed his calling as a
professor of economics, and we
would not be surprised to see
him lowered to the class in which
he has so evidently put himself,
viz. the class of the illiterate
ditch digger."

To the Editor: j
I appreciated the timely arti
cle that appeared In the Safety
yaiTsj written by Mary C. Brock-
way of Portland, Ore. It seems
to me there should be mere each
expressions In these trying times.
Most of our' troubles are due to
the spread of Communism; there
is no need for much argument
to substantiate this claim. But
what I want to write about just
now is wnat aoes our constitution
mean by free speech. Does it
mean that one can stand in pub
lic places and utter words of
treason, like which Is being done
time and again? I claim that our
contstitutlon does not even sanc
tion such an act nor doe it so
imply. Ever since nations have
been formed in. this world treason
has most always been treated as a
sin unpardonable, and when one
has been found guilty of treason
either in words or acts of violence
a swift reckoning has been ad
ministered. I wish I could say
the; same thing for our beloved
government. ; Just why our gov
ernment chooses to wink at trea
son is more than I can under
stand. , tvrv. " .
vv na jar. ; Hoover was our
president time and again a com
munist demonstration was' sup
pressed and that was the rule and
not the exception. Just why our
present president doesn't use his
influence to suppress such dem
onstrations is more than I can
understand; and especially when
he claims to not be in sympathy
with communism. Now If his
works and deeds along this line
were in accordance with his word
ed expression there would be no
need for much that I am writing
at this time. When he came Into
the chair I said more times than
one that I hoped he would give
us the best administration we had
had for many years.

There are dates that one remem

And dates that one forgets;
And why 'tis so no one may know

One remembers best, I've noticed.
When he no effort makes;
The datings that he struggles for

However, 18 SS Is one the dates
that remain in my memory. I do
not quite know how 'to account
for it. The association of the year
with certain events may have
something to do with it. Grover
Cleveland was inaugurated for his
first term as president in that
year, and you've no idea how it
stirred things up at our house.
You see, we had. gone through
the preceding campaign a divided
household, and mother, who was

was a bit tough for father, but
I've always suspected that he en-

Dubuque I met up with a boy

News Notes .
By CAROLINE C. JERGEN
Last week, you may remember,
I was - reading Ethel Houston's
"THE MAN OF THE STORM,'
just off the Bobbs-Merrill press.
I finished it over the weekend.
and while I do not believe it will
go down in literature as an out
standing piece of historical fic
tion. It was entertaining enough
in Its way. It gives intimate little
pictures of some of the lives of
our forefathers in America.. So
far as X have been able to dis
cover, the high points are quite
correct.
Ethel Heuston's style does not
fascinate me. As a matter of fact.
at times I found myself rather
hard put to keep my attention
on the book. But when I laid it
aside, I had to admit It left rather
pleasant memory of outdoors
and early adventures In the wild.
While it has undoubtedly been
written for adults, I feel it would
prove rather good supplementary
reading for high school students
of western history.
The jacket on the book says.
The Man of the Storm" is "a
romance of Colter, who discovered
Yellowstone." Rather. I should
say, it was a romance of Tempete,
tne hair-bred Indian.
When the story opens. Dona
Teresa, a spirited young widow.
had just found the perfect admin
istrator of her great holdings in
the mysterious Tempete, who is
tne man of the storm. He was
dark like an Indian, but with
the speech and education of an
Englishman. A perfect setting for
romance!
When Tempete made a trio up
the river to hunt and trap, he met
John Colter and they, became fast
friends. After his thrilling discov
ery oi xenowstone, uouer re
turned to St. Louis, where,
through Tempete. he became a
friend of Dona Teresa and her
brother's family, the Don Fer
nando Plernases. Manuela, the
daughter of Plernas. and Sally
Dale, an orphan who lived with
the family, soon lost their hearts
to Colter, and his romance begins.
From "The Man of the Storm"
I went to James Gordon Gilkey'a
new "GETTING HELP FROM
RELIGION," a Macmlllan publi
cation (11.75). released October
6.
I suggest reading the book. for.
while it is not such a strong book.
it still voices a number of points
wnicn make foundations for good
arguments.
Ministers of some of the creeds
which boast "the sound old gos
pet oi our puritan iainers are
apt to take exception to such
passages as "when we say we be
lieve .God takes care of us. we
do not mean that we think God
has predetermined every event in
our career, that he will make our
life invariably pleasant, or that
ne win see to It that everything

An adventure story fori the
younger readers is "SUNBIRD,"
by Rhoda Morris from the. Sep
tember press of Little, Brown and
company ($1.75). Even some old
er readers may enjoy this story
of the little girl who could not
remember her name, or how sne
came to be In that far cold coun
try alone except for the old Chi
nese! woman.
The two were on one of the
Islands off the coast of northern
Siberia, where they had been with
a saraine-nsning party, uui me
others, frightened by the sudden
coming of the ice had put out to
sea without them. How they were
rescued by an Eskimo boy and
girl
who had been driven away
from their, own village,, how Sun-
bird jgot her name, how she final
ly remembered her own name, are
among the questions answered in
this ibook.
A little about the authors may
be of more interest to adult read
ers than tne story itseiz wnicn
will mkke a nice gift to either
boys or girls from nine to 12.

Everett. Washington. Mrs. Delia
Morris Stephenson, whose maiden
name provides the surname for
the pseudonym, says that she is
"really a very conventional sort
of person who finds life most in
teresting and with -health quite
good enough to enjoy It."
She came west quite early in
life, living in Oregon, and moving
to Washington in 190C. She
taught for many years, and first
started writing because it was
difficult for her to find just what
she wanted to read to her chil
dren. Mrs. Rhoda Nelson, who sup
plies the. Christian name for the
team, is the child of pioneers who
came to Washington in 1856. Her
mother, who is still living, "feels
that pioneer lite was quite hard
enough to live, and can't see why
anyone should want to read about
it." . o,. a""-
After an interlude of school,
marriage and babies, she began
writing, and among other things
started "Susan and Arabella; Pio
neers." Mrs. Stephenson Joined
her after the first chapter; and
so began a most successful writ
ing partnership to which each
member contributes a bo u t
equally.
