V : General Franco leader of the nationalists in Spain who
are revolting against the Madrid-Vencia-Barcelona govern
ment, has closed the French lrontier and U.e Portuguese
frontier of tr-e portion in which his armies hold sway. Since
Portugal has bten an effective ally of Franco this closing is
rather startling. London papers try to explain it with reports
of a conspiracy of foreign elemejta in the nationalist army
to assassinate Franco. -
. Other news from Spain is that Franco is suffering from
internal troubles, with sporadic rebellions wnich weaicen the
rear pf his' armiesl it is surprising it the xoreign elements are
also hostile to his leadership, because they have been the' bul
wark of his, strength. S . , ' :. '
: Rebellion against the rebellion ought not to be surpris
ing if it is tnie tnat tne majority of the common people of
Spain were loyal to the government set up in the latest elec
tions. Such revolts would inevitably follow unless Franco
f ruled with a rod of iron. It is hard to rule that way and keep
i up armies and wage aggressive war at the same time. Perhaps
tnis accounts for the stalemate in military operations. It
i was anticipated after the wiping out of loyalist opposition
. in northwest Spain that Franco s troops would launcn heavy
I attacks on the remaining loyalist armies. They did not come
r in early fall and now the rainy season prevents general field
; operations. Disaffection behind the lines may be the explana
i tion of the failure to move. '
' "5 Under the spell pf great personalities like Mussolini or
the mystic Hitler, democratic resistance has broken down.
Eventually any dictatorship will succumb to the borings of
men driven by instincts of freedom. If Franco conquers all of
; Spain it simply means the revolution will be fought over
r again, as it will be in Italy and Germany when disaffected
groups gain courage. The cycle of government constantly
i turns froraVdemocracy to dictatorship to oligarchy to democ
racy, with many variations in the intermediate phases. His
itory offers no proof: that the American democracy will sur
'vive indefinitely.. Some think the cycle is turning "now in
Discipline on American Ships V
j . Reports that members of the crew of the President Hoo-
rer got drunk and terrorized women and j children passen
gers after the vessel ran aground near Formosa prompt the
senate committee on maritime commerce to hold an inves
tigation. Similar reports are" coming from: other vessels on
other runs. The Complaint is that men refuse to accept dis
cipline from ships' officers. They get drunk, are surly and in
dependent, breach an old rule of the sea, namely to leave pas
sengers strictly alone. The new sense of power through vic
tories oyer shipowners has gone to their heads so that proper
ship discipline is gone, to the danger of the vessel and the
irritation of ! the passengers. Owners feel helpless.
We heard of a couple who had made a recent trip to
Alaska on an American boat. One of the crew had to be lifted
aboard, he was so drunk, and they found he was assigned
to their section of cabins. They protested and got him .trans
ferred;, but the crew was so undisciplined that the couple
returned Very bitter against use of American vessels. " Inci
dentally the man is head of a large American organization
which has been planning an Alaskan cruise next summer.
His wife said she was going to insist on use of a Canadian
Pacific boat for the cruise.
i " Even soviet Russia has got over the idea of running ships
by "committees." Discipline is the first requisite of safety at
'sea.
; The "Robinsons" Mystery
"Ared" White the nom-de-plume of our own General
George A. White, could get material for another spy story
in the strange case of the couple now under arrest in Russia
charged with complicity in conspiracy against the govern
ment. This pair got American passports and went to Mos
cow where they were living in a hotel. They used names of
-Donald Louis Robinson and Ruth Norma Robinson.' Later
the state department discovered the birth certificates they
submitted were of persons who had died in childhood, but if
they had lived would have been about the same age as these
persons. This was not discovered until they disappeared and
the department pressed Russia for news of their whereabouts.
What their real names are is not known, or whether
they are man and wife. The Moscow assumption is that they
are agents working in Russia against Stalin, hence 'Tro
tsky ists," which is jenough to condemn them on. Certainly
they must have gone to Russia with some evil purpose, to use
some clever means of disjruisinsr their identities.
Now the American government can do little to save them,
. for they arefalsif iers, and maybe not even American cm
ens. . .
So there are thread of a story which may be as thrill
ing as the plots of many set out in books of fiction. The fear
is that the truth will never be

Bits for
Breakfast
By R. J. HENDRICKS
Who was the wife " 12-17-37
of Joab Powell, unique -pioneer
Oregon circuit rider
and most successful evangelist?
' S
The above question reaches the
desk of the Bits man. Meaning, -of
course, who was she before she
was Mrs. Powell?
. She was Ann Beeler, called In
the late years of her life in Ore
gon Aunt Ann or Aunt Anna.
Therw is a book on "Joab PoweU,
Homespun Missionary," published
In 1935 by the Metropolitan
Tress, Portland, author M. JLeona
Nichols. From this book one finds:
Joab Powell was born of Welsh
ancestry In the hill country of
Tennessee Jury 16, 1799. In the
book one reads: -
, "Before he reached his major
ity Joab was attracted-to a ruddy
cheeked fraulein (maiden) from a
nearby settlement. . . ."When he
married Ann Beeler in. 18 IS he
found "a woman who was sym
pathetic to her husband's ambition
to preach. Ann was of German
parentage and spoke only a few
words of English. . .'. They car
ried on their courtship and were
married before she had conquered
joab's vernacular." (Probably the
name. was originally in the Ger
man letters corresponding to
Bieler; that is, a scaffold or lad
der builder. All names once. had
a meaning.)
s v s v"::.
Joab Powell and family and
some neighbors moved to Missouri
about 1830, and there, in the vi
cinity of Lonejack, not far from
Independence, he soon began
preaching. He had a 600 acre farm
near Lonejack, and was a good
farmer. He got and asked no saK
ary for his preaching. He thought
he was called to preach, and he
drew large audiences wherever he
went, riding his pony and carry
ing his blankets, prepared to sleep
in barns if other accommodations
were not available. lie was or
dained a Baptist preacher, ?and
remained a liberal . when that
church was divided on unessential
notions.
He preached 20 years in Mis
souri, made many converts, and
came with his family to Oregon
in 1852, two of his sons having
been members of the 1S50 Immi
gration. Joab had sided with the
Missouri branch of his church
known as Missionary Baptists. He
believed he was distinctly called
by the. words of the Master: "Go
ye into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature."
He followed this out In Oregon.
He took sides for the Union In
this state ; preached one of his
greatest sermons in Salem, against
slavery. Aunt - Ann,, or Mother
Powell, was a great helpmeet of
herhnsband; bore him 13.chU-
dren; carried on the work of the
home and farm while her preacher
husband went far afield as a cir
cuit rider. He converted 3000
people to the Christian religion In
Oregon; was one of the real orig
inal founders of both Oregon State
college and Linfiild university at
McMinnvllle.
He had no education except
what he picked up; but he knew
his Bible almost by heart, and
had a rugged way of presenting it
to his hearers that stirred them
and made converts.
s s s
In April, 1853, Joab PoweU
leading, Providence Baptist church
was started six miles southeast of
Albany, on the Santiam road. The
building was of logs, with punch
eon floor and places all around for
tallow candles; three in the pul
pit; needed for guest speakers,
not Joab he knew his texts by
heart.
Aunt Ann died May 31, 1872.
From that day Joab Powell was a
lonely old man. Theretofore the
laughing preacher, one of his sons
testified, he never smiled again.
Such was his devotion to his life
partner. And, languishing dis
consolately, in less than eight
months he joined her on the other
shore January 25, 1873.' -
b -w
Prof. J. B. Horner, Oregon his
torian, proposed a monument to
Joab Powell. With 3000 present,
it was dedicated Sunday, June 15,
1924. Many of the most promi
nent people of Oregon were there.
Among them was Mrs. Anna Car-
mical, 82, Prineville. a daughter
of Joab Powell, the only surviving
one of the 20 original members;
that is, of the 20 who organized
Providence church; 19 besides
their leader. The 20 names were
(and are) carved on the monu
ment that day dedicated. Many
memorable speakers paid eloquent
tribute. Lack of space forbids
.quotations, excepting these, from
the speech of Prof. J. B. Horner:
"The committee . . .-selected
this granite boulder which . has
been hewn into Us present form to
tipify the substantial, sterling
character of this great man In his
Oregon career. . . 'This one thing
I do' was his motto In Oregon as
he went a b o u t baptizing S000
souls. . . , The committee . . .
instructed the sculptor to chisel
every side of the monument, but
to polish one side only ... yet to
give that side's Phldian finish and
on the polished side to carve his
name with the names of his little
flock at Providence that subse
quently grew to 400 members. . ,
"The names of the charter
members of Providence church,
along with the name of their lov
ing pastor, have long been en
grossed upon the records; but the
sculptor has carved them upon
this monument, erected by loving
hands, as a reminder to the living
and to future generations of the
price that was paid by these pio
neers for the establishment of
their religious faith on the west
ern frontier. ... in time their
names will be effaced from the
stone ?. . . and the s tone will
crumble and , turn to dust. .
But . ;. . the names carved- upon
its polished surface will - not be
forgotten; for God has engraved
them deeply upon the hearts of
the makers of Oregon, there to re
main on and on as long as hearts
endure, which is forever.

times.

in a valley news story. Perhaps
the fracture resulted from an ef

I knew a couple, a man and his
wife, over In north Idaho years
ago, who were thought by the
neighbors to be Ideally mated. He
addressed her as "honey" and she
addressed him as "dear." And it
did seem to be pretty ideal. But
their "honey" and "dear" were
not always the same. I heard her
address him as ."dear" one day In
a tone of voice that might be
thought affectionate, but which
must have cuddled his blood.
A loving, teacher of mine once
told me for my own good (she
never told me anything that was
not for my -own good, and per
haps It was for my own good, but
there were times when I doubted
it) that I was unduly susceptible
to external Impressions. Just the
same, I insisted that I'd rather be
licked with a feather duster than
with a rubber ruler.

himself by shooting the candles
off the trees and disrupting the

he remained, stiff in dissolution,

V STORIES OF
by Howard Simon
In the whole history of art it
would be difficult to find a more
thorough-going scoundrel and a
more skillful painter than
Michael-Angelo de Merigi, known
as Caravaggio. He was violent and
painted violence.' He was the first
of the great realists. Kve n the
greater Rembrandt was to feel his
influence. -. ' r -. ,V.
Caravaggio as born." In Lom
bardy in 1569.; In his early days
he had been a plasterer, the son
of a ' stone mason, and had no
training in art. He turned natur
ally to painting. Before he was
20 he had painted The Martyrdom
of a Female Saint. It is his earliest
known canvas and hangs at Milan,
where most of. his youth was
spent. When he came to Venice at
the age of 20 he was already a
famous painter. '
Life and music and gayety sur
rounded him in 'this liveliest of
cities. He took a fancy to the
musical instruments he now saw,
and was to use them in canvasses
again and again. Taverns 'and
noisy street scenes and beautiful
women caught his.eye as well. He
moved on to Rome and discovered
that brawling provided excitement
and that excitement was exactly to
his' taste. There was a passerby
who, he fancied, had offended him.
He struck him and to make sure
he would not cry out whacked
him into unconsciousness 'with his
sword. He hid in a cellar to avoid
capture, and w e n t on painting.
Shortly thereafter he wounded a
guard. Violence bred violence.
Enjoyed Fights
He enjoyed quarreling and
scuffling. He fell on people of ev
ery sort. When thought a waiter
in an inn had neglected some nic
ety of behavior he seized a plate
and threw it in his face. From
some strategic point he and a com
panion dropped rocks at passersby
injuring several. Before long he
was cast Into the Tor dl Nona
prison on the charges of one
"Laura and 'her daughter, Isa
belle." A serious biographer has ven
tured the opinion that Caravag
gio's love affairs were not of the
most exalted sort. But he was oft
en to be found fighting for the
honor of a lady's name.
And between brawls he painted
as vigorously as he fought with
brilliant originality. There was the
masterpiece of "The Death of the
Virgin," boldy, naturalistic. There
were other, lesser works, no leas
original in conception:. Tavern
scenes and murders, pictures of
gypsies and vagabonds, and oc-

CARAVAGGIO (SELF PORTRAIT)
15M-1CM
casionally the tenderly painted
nape of a woman's neck in a scene
with a musical! setting.
Before longjthere was a tennis
game that turned into a mortal
combat. . Caravaggio broke tii3
racket over the head of Ranuu-io
Tommastni who with no more ado
fell dead. Caravaggio was arrest
ed but being badly hurt himself
was held under bond of 500 gold
pieces before being taken to pris
on. Again he fled and several
months later 1 was working, as
peacefully, as his nature allowtd,
in Naples. j
Here there appeared a fanatical
admirer of his in the person of
Leonello Spada who attached him
self to Caravaggio, "imitating his
mannerisms in painting and per
sonal charm." Spada from what is
known .shared; all Caravagfcio's
faults of character and none of
his painting genius. They painted
and made merry while negotia
tions went on n Rome for Cara
vaggio's pardon. The pardon fail
ed to arrive. The two friends took
themselves off to the Island of
Malta. .
Angers Grand Master
The Order of St. Jean, Knighis
Templar of Malta, warmly wel
comed the celebrated Caravaggio.
Its Grand Master, Alof de Wigna
court, commissioned portrait after
portrait of himself in his robes as
a Knight of Justice. The Louvre
possesses an excellent example to
day. For the cathedral Caravaggio
painted the magnificent "Behead
ing of St. John; the Baptist." It is
his greatest work. He had hardly
finished his masterpiece when a
local and notorious fighter and
bully had the notion that he would
like himself painted. The robes of
the Grand Master still lay in his
studio. Caravaggio conceived the
plan of painting this Ill-favored
client' as a Knight of Justice also.
The Grand Master, furiously ang
ry, "gave reason to the Knights of
Justice and j h a d Caravaggio
thrown into jail." Meantime the
faithful and enterprising Spada
made off with a Moorish slave and
was nowhere to be found. Cara
aggio did not linger either. He
climbed the prison walls one
night, boarded, a ship and set off
for Sicily. In! Sicily with the
Knights of Malta hot on his trail
he was obliged) to hide. When the
search became! 1 e s s intense, he
worked in Syracuse and Messina.
And his reputation grew to start
ling proportions.
Peace Not Desirable
Perhaps he could have lived in
peace here. But peace was not
desirable to him. He quarreled
with a schoolmaster, gravely
wounded him and once more had
to fly for his life. He stopped at
Palermo, then returned to Naples
hoping for permission to return to
Rome. Before it had reached him,
however, he was again involved in
a brawl at an Inn. His aggressors
beat him unmercifully. Again lie
boarded a boat but it was ground
ed and he was forced to disem
bark. Sentries Ion the wat-h fni
another criminal, arrested him.
being misled by his disreputable
and disfigured appearance. When
they at last released him., the boat
had long since disappeared, taking
with it all of CaravaaTrio'n ro-
sions. Ho dragged himself slowly
to ront-fcrcole.! But a fever and
his wounds proved fatal. He died a
few days later In 160. at the
age of forty, j
All Rome was shocked at the
news of his death, and verses. were
composed In his honor. One poet
wrote grandiloquently, "Death and
nature would not be outdone by
Caravaggio whose bold picture
put them to shame."
