In the current news-reel the con troversy over the Roosevelt supreme court legislation is feat ured. Pres. Roosevelt is quoted. An opponent of the court plan, Senator Wheeler of Montana is quoted. . i j But when the news reel came'to Kansas thei board of censors there ordered deleted the Wheeler portion of the dia logue. The chairman of the Kansas board says: "We feel this J dialogue is partisan and biased. . ; p. What if it is? Does that make it improper material for the news-reel? And what about the president's portion of the dialogue? is that not equally "biased"? The portion objected to by the Kansas Carrie Nation of 1937 is, (Wheeler speak ing) : ' H , . i ' "Ton can say that the privilege of appointing postmasters '-Will nnt hA arinrri(l to m Yon ran av thst I'll ret no more projects for my state. You can say" what you please, but I say n mn ami tn Mr I'll to-t n mrTbodr else, thai. I will vote against this proposition because It Is morally wrong; it is mor ally unsound; it is a dangerous proceeding." I If this is an untrue reflection of Wheeler's opinions then he would have cause of action for libel. There is, however, no complaint that the quotation is"inaccurate.Why then should the super-zealous Kansas censor resort to suppression? A few weeks ago Governor Earle of Pennsylvania or dered a film entitled "Spain in Flames" to be suppressed be cause part of it was propaganda lavoring the socialist gov ernment in Spain. Suppose it is propaganda ; is that illegal in 4 V. re .ow-vis n 4-?

The traditional view in America has been that there should be freedom for the expression of ideas. The only legitimate grounds for censorship have beerTfor the protection of mor als, particularly of the young; and even there the excess zeal has resulted at times in exhibition of prudery. In the field of political ideas censorship is positively dangerous. Remove all "propaganda" and what would there be left of printed ma terial on public questions?, p ! Censorship is usually a depraved attempt to control the opinions of other people. Individuals who think their ideas are correct want to force other people to think the same way, in religion," in politics, in morals. They resort to suppression when the true American policy should be one of freedom of expression, with all viewpoints represented so the public may make its decision. There is no worse, canker than thought which is forced to be secret and underground : it eats both ways, warping the judgment of the thinker and even tually poisoning the thinking of "It can't happen here?" Oh t ill. I, -,. - ..I New Naii ONE neat thing the apostles of new cultures do is to re write their histories and their cyclopedias and dictionar- ies in terms of their new philosophies. Russia has en deavored to reconstruct -not only its history but its art. Now in Germany they are going through the principal j reference book, "Meyer's 'Knoversations-Lexikon" and bringing out a new edition re-edited in terms of nazi theories. The job is being done, not by German Scholars, but by a batallion of storm troopers. Ralph Barnes writing to the New York Her-ald-ribune describe'the first volume . which has just ap peared, thus: ". i p , "Although the cover retains the conservative character com j mon to past editions, the contents of the volume are distinguish j d by what appears to be intentional falsifications of certain his j torlcal facts, by hypernationalistic or biased treatment of many topics and. finally, by the extensive space devoted to the Nazi j ideology and institutions." 1 I He cites one example, the assassination of Chancellor Dollfuss of Austria. The job was done by nazis on July 25, 934. The new nazi lexikon says it was done by a Marxist named Durtil on Oct. 3, 1933. '. . 1 f - The book refers to the Old ble, "which contains traces of fairy tales and myths of the orient which were merely rewritten by the Jews; for exam Die, the myth of the Creation, which was taken from Baby lon." This is naturally offensive to those who regard the Old Testament as a divine revelation, but carries out1 the nazi practice of everything of Jewish origin.- j Genuine scholars are always at work re-writing history as new facts are dug up; but a batallion of storm troopers would hardly be Tegarded as competent and impartial in the field of scholarship in any country except a dictatorship. . Last Water Job THE city authorities make a wise choice in approving cast iron pipe for the new Twelfth street water main which i. will cross the city from Rural avenue to the northern boundary. Cast iron is the longest-lived material of any which are practical for use in water mains of that dimen ion. In eastern cities it is still in service after a century and longer; and much of the Salem system is in cast iron pipe. The city was fortunate in being able to obtain this pipe well within the cost estimates of the engineers. j This water main job is about the last big project in the rehabilitation of the water system. When the entire work is completed next fall the city will have a gravity system of supply, fed by water from streams rising in the mountains, naturally filtered, with an ample reservoir and storage tank, supplying water under adequate pressure to all parts of the city, providing improved fire protection. The cost has been heavy, amounting to over $2,000,000. With the growth in de mand the system -will be able to carry the burden, and its ca pacity is such that it can take care of greatly increased de mand without much added investment. P The water question, for years a vexing problem, is now being solved in a very satisfactory fashion. Tne next big un dertaking for the city should be a sewage disposal plant.

Johnson, Sr.,' was born in St. Lawrence county. New York, Feb. 18. 1819. He went to Pike county. Ills., in 1840, and in 1841 married Elizabeth J. Whitman. He purchased and improved two places in that . state, but in April. 1847, started from Pitts field, Pike county. Ills., for Ore gon, in the big covered wagon Im migration of that : year, which doubled the white population of what is now the three Pacific northwest states and the western parts of Montana and Wyoming from around 4500 to approxi mately 9000. V V : In the Johnson train were 23 wagons. Their own family num bered four on departing, and a child came on the plains to make it five. It was the first train to take the Barlow, trail that year, over the Cascades, arriving in the Wil lamette valley Sept. 10. They took up their donation claim that year. It had been filed upon previously by a sailor; who had built a log house and then abandoned it. That structure .was without win dows or doors', but was made hab itable and furnished shelter un til 1849, when it was replaced by a hewn log. house. This in turn was abandoned for a better one in 1855. . . e W The Johnsons lived on beef and potatoes the first winter. In 1848, Sept. 18, Mr. Johnson started with pack horses for the gold diggings of California; mined on the Am erican river and Spanish bar, tak ing out $50 to $75 a day till bad weather came. Left for home in February, 1849. on a sailing ves sel,' bringing for his family auch luxuries as coffee, sugar and a few dishes. Mr. Johnson added to his hold ings till In 1862, when he had ac c u m n 1 a t e d 1200 acres; then bought a general, merchandise stock at Jefferson. In 1872 he gave each of his sons a farm, sold a portion of his land, and moved to Salem. He was assessor of Mar ion county while residing at Jef ferson, was justice of the peace there, and had the same office in Salem 12 years, and was deputy county assessor. V Isaac Miller, father of Charles, was captain of a train of 30 cov ered wagons in the 1847 immi gration. He was a member of the territorial legislature, was a ma jor in the Rogue River Indian' war of 1855-6, when he was wound ed. He had settled first near Jef ferson, then lived in Clackamas and finally in Jackson county, he and his wife dying at Ashland on the same day and being buried in the .same grave. 4 Charles, coming from . the Cal ifornia mines in 1850. acquired over 500 acres of land in the Chemulpum valley, mostly in what had been the II. A. Johnson donation claim. He was born In Montgomery county, Ind., Feb. 23, 1830. So he was 19 when he and his broth er Samuel joined the California gold rush in 1849. They went on horseback, their supplies on pack animals. They filled their pouches with $1500 worth of gold dust each on the American river, and were ready to come to Oregon. - S Charles Miller was mechanical; had learned the carpenter's trade, and could turn his . hand to al most anything requiring mechan ical genius and skill. He carried on general farming on the land he had acquired in Chemulpum valley, and gradually acquired a large herd of pure bred Jerseys and went extensive ly into dairying; erected a cream ery, gave work to a considerable force. (The writer is getting part of this information from "Will amette Valley." history book of the Chapman Publishing com pany, Chicago, 1903.) Chae. Miller married Miss Nan cy Vaughn, of the 1852 immigra tion from West Virginia. This was In 1854. He was in the Oregon legisla ture of 1885,. elected as (demo crat; ran for congress ott the populist ticket in 1892; was chairman of the populist state central committee during the campaign of 1894. Was justice of the peace for several years. e e He was a charter member of the Grange; a Mason u one of the founders of the Jefferson Insti tute and a director of that in stitution. The Chapman book tells a story of an early day experience of his. thus: "With several companions. among them Geo. W. Hunt, Lewis Streidt and Samuel Haxt. the lat ter a mountaineer, Mr. Miller camped in 1851 on the Rogue river, and in the night Indians stole 19 of the 20 horses they had. Mr. Miller with one of the others started on the departing trail with hope of overtaking the Indians and securing the animals. Though finally successful in re covering the . horses they had much trouble and a long hunt, following the savages seven days and nights on one trip and eight days on . another before finding them, as, afterc going 15 miles, they had separated ' and driven the animals in different direc tions. In the mean time they had captured two chiefs, putting their Indian . families under guard, which operated in their favor and induced the return of the stolen property.- V I-.-'. ; The place of growing and pro cessing the world prize flax must be marked and the memory of the experiment perpetuated.

The long and. melancholy f iaure has ar- Dorothy ThomDson rivea iu uonaou. accompanied say the reports by his son. It seems it was sug gested that he go to Spain. But Mr. Hanfstaengel thought better of it. Spain and the whole mission appeared ; rather fishy. Why the mission anyhow, and why Spain? Also his fiftieth birthday had come and gone with no telegram of congratulation . to "dear Putzi" from the Relchspresident and Fuehrer. The omission was omin ous. By such small indications do yesterday's idols know that the royal thumb has been turned down. In Germany turned down thumbs sometimes mean more than Coventry. Mr. Hanfstaengel, perhaps, thought of- other gentle men who at one time or another had been the Intimates of his chief. Of the blustering Roetam, the scholarly Strasser, the fem inine and pretty Ernst, all very much dead today, with bullets, lots of bullets in their bodies. "Tsk Tsk Tsk," one can hear Putzl saying, wagging his heavy head gravely. "Tsk Tsk." So he didn't go to Spain. Instead he stepped across the bottler, there, near Munich,, where several bor ders are handily about, end went to England. Thus a career in the service of dictatorship, and the heroic principle, against the flab blness of liberal democracy, seeks Its final refuge under the tolerant protection of the softies. ' ( e e e Mr. Hanfstaengel has long been one of my favorite characters. My Berlin friends tell me that I have enjoyed a peculiarly , vivid place in Mr. Hafstaengel'a emotions, ever since the day back in 1931 when he introduced me to the Fuehrer, who was then just Mr. Hitler. 1 had written to Putzl for the inter view, for it one spoke English one approached the chief through the musician. "Madam," . he replied gallantly, "Mr. Hitler, win see you. You have a very nice hand writing." Perhaps Mr. Hanfstaen gel was given to the s t n d y of graphology, a science highly con sidered In Germany, and thought that he discerned in my script both tenderness and sympathy. How great was. his disillusionment; how tfalse was I to my revealed nature! How perverse of me and how unwomanly! I did not like the Fuehrer. And the Fuehrer did not like the interviewer. "The Thomp son,"' Putzl would say, his eyes blazing with wrath, his mane of lank, dark hair falling into -his eyes. "That Woman! She nearly cost me my Job!" I suspect that Putxi's hatred of "The Woman" opiated to benefit some of my colleagues. One of them recalls how Putxl loomed upon him in the Unter den Linden spying him from a distance, and shaking at him a long and agitat ed finger. -"What do yon write about my country?"- he waUed. "Why do you see things with so jaundiced an eye?" But suddenly his Ira melted. "Still." he con cluded, "you are better than the Thompson!" i Dawn broke for Putzl In 1934. The impertinent woman had re turned. And through the direct intervention of Putzl the Gestapo i On the Record ! By DOROTHY THOMPSON v m the dreaded Secret State Police laid upon my desk In the Hotel A d 1 o n the order, stamped and sealed, to leave Germany within twenty-four hours. Putzi had had the last word. Or had he? Well, Mr. Hanfstaengel, I left Germany, openly, by train. How about you? Kurt Wllhelm Georg Ludecke, who first represented the Nazi movement in Italy, later in the United States as Washington cor respondent of the "Voelkische Beobachter," and eventually was rewarded for his efforts by a ses sion in the German concentration camp an adventurous gentleman of the earlier vintage of Kazis, yhen most of them were adventur ers makes two claims to fame. He first talked to Henry Ford about German National Socialism, In the hope of getting money for the movement's anti-Semitism (failed); and ho first took Mr. Hanfstaengel to hear Mr. Hitler speak. The excitable pianist fell under the sway of the excitabLi house painter. Putzi joined the movement and paid a dollar. At least this is Ludecke'a story, for whatever it Is worth. Eventually, however, Putzi per formed greater services. For it was he who Introduced Hitler Into society. The Hanfstaengels belong to the upper crust of the Munich bourgeoisie, rich, civilised. . pat rons of art and music, living in the aroma of good food, handsome furniture and general culture. Mr. Hitler's followers were a handful of impoverished workmen, down-at-the-heels journalists, dreamy cafe philosophers and ; the back wash of the recent war. But Putzi knew the respectable people. Through him the Messiah of Ger man Nationalism sat at the tables of the substantial, and entranced the wealthy Fran ' Beckstein (pianos) and the influential Frau Winifred Wagner of Bayreuth.

Putsi's dollar primed the pump for many more, e e e Of the original Nazis few could speak another language than their own, and Hitler himself still speaks, not German, but .that other winsome, somewhat more slushy tongue, Austrian. But Put si's mother had been a Sedgwick of Boston, and he was a graduate of Harvard, who had leaned his vast length across tne counter of the family's branch shop In Man hattan, where prints of classic pictures once were sold. What more natural than that Putzl should become official translator and .liaison officer, first to the pretender, and later to the Ruler Evenings he sat at the piano, banging out in his florid and not untalented style the music that Hitler loves: tunes, above all, from the Wagner operas, while the susceptible Muenchner lolled in his chair with half-closed pos and dreamed, . no doubt, of the dwarf who cursed love iv v ring with which 'he might - rule the world; of Wotan in his giant s palace of Walhalla; of Siegfried denying death. All these great dramas whose eternal theme is power enchant der Fuehrer, and Mr. Hanfstaengel must hare felt as he beat the piano onward and upward to ever dizzier height with his chief, that the whole of -Germany was being transformed into a Wagner opera with himself very Important in the orchestra, e And now, alas! alas! The strug gle was romantic, dramatic. sometimes even lyric. Our little group of men! Our band of her oes! With victory the heroes be came bureaucrats. Putzi sat at a desk, a hateful desk, piled high with reports, statements, . letters to be answered, decisions to be made. "I will take great pleasure In calling the attention of Her Fuehrer to . . ." "I regret that I atn compelled to . . ." One made mistakes. Sometimes one's coup cut the wrong way. Bureaucracy! Officialdom! And even the desk was threatened by that greedy, gossiping, intriguing, ambitious, grinning Goebbels! Oh, it is tiring, and often boring, to be one of the ruling! - Sometimes, they say, Putzl swept all the papers off his desk in a snarl of rage and frustration. The revolution had been vibrant with braases, rhythmic with marching feet, and one marched, too. composing odes to heroes. But victory was dusty papers in an office and lines of men - with their bats in their hands. Poor Mr. Hafstaengel! e. e But Mr. Hanfstaengel is no fool. He is a Man from the Inside.

She writes in the styje oi a namsn t,n faitnm writer. This makes iier text understandable, readable and even entertaining to the ave rage American taxpayer. Serious students of economics complain that. whHe the material is cor rect, the style forceful and clear, yet "They Shall Not Want" would have been more useful had it been more detailed and compact. - But this is a report for the great Am erican public on the relief situa tion. It is not written principally for economists. They know what It is all about anyway. The ave rage taxpayer will welcome this understandable book. Miss Davis has divided her book into six parts: The first Is the "American M u d d 1 e." and deals with this country in 1932. We are introduced to the Civil Works Administration, the Fed eral Emergency Relief Act, and the Works Progress administra tion. Because she could not cover the entire country, in Part Two, Miss Davis uses Chicago as a sample and describes the workings of the program in relation to definite situations. The administration in Chicago "Iras been neither out standingly goofUnor outstanding ly poor. It is' a fair example, the author believes, of the country as a whole. In Part Three, she tells us what Is "Wrong with the Pic ture." The next two divisions are devoted to the relief situations In England and in Sweden. The last division is called the 'Road Map" with a "Look, Learn and Blue print" stop sign. Miss Davis tells ns that none of the relief systems "will be satis factory. There is no such thing as a good system of relief. Relief Is not the answer to unemployment. The solutions of the problem of unemployment reside in o t.h e r areas. Relief is an aspirin we give our economic system-while we en deavor ' to effect a cure for the deeper causes.", F. E. R.

In her opinion, it has very little to recommend It: "Thi so cial and human benefits are all out of proportion to its prodig ious and unjustified 'cost. It Is self-perpetuating. It causes dislo cations in local financing and or dinary employment. Worst of all. It Is in the hands, of politicians never too troubled by concern for the public weaL The .longer we maintain it, the more solidly root ed It becomes and the harder to blast It out." Miss Davis book is not as one sided as: the foregoing would make It appear.
