"all's quiet on the western front' No big guns are booming
along the Sudeten border nor on France's Maginot line, and
men are not dying by the hundreds. Czechoslovakia has sor
rowfully agreed to the enforced shrinkage of its territory.
It has suffered the loss of its formidable boundary-line on
the German side, but has gained guarantees of its new
border tinder circumstances which will make it harder . for
the democracies to renege on their obligations the next time.
The argument that is raging now involves the prospect
of a "next time" sooner or later, and the crux of the argument
is this: Can Europe, by correcting the inequities of the post-
Ancr th "hv not" nations with the
nai x&wAfcAo auu

or is there so '.great a philosophical conflict between democ
racy and totalitarianism that the clash must eventually come,
a clashfall the more terrible because of the delay ?
The world breathes a tremendous sigh of relief after the
tensiori of recent weeks, but events are still moving. Just
what is this new pact between Germany and England, "sym
bolic of a decision by our two peoples that we will never go
to war with one another again?" What would it mean if
Hitler idid set out to violate the rights of another small nation,
perhaps to violate the guarantee of Czechoslovak integrity?
U Also, what does it mean that both sides in the Spanish
civil-war are releasing their-foreign troops?. The Italians
who. have been aiding Franco, and the international volun
teers fwho have been fighting, on the Valencia side, are all
leaving, so it is reported. The Italians were withdrawn after
Franco assured France that in case of a central European
outbreak, his portion of Spain would remain neutral.
Whether this announcement piqued Mussolini is not indi-
n for? 1 I
If Europe is pacified on a
it aiso means someuiing in uie xar cau iugwuu maj """f1
a stif fer attitude in relations with Japan there. All of which
means only that the international clock has not been stopped.
What the future holds, none of the "experts" really can say.
If,f as in the crisis just ended, adjustments- can continue to
be made, then England and France will be justified in their
conciliatory attitude in 1938, and a real victory for world
peace is represented in the fact that today, "all's quiet on the
western front." l
Primary Almost General
Doubts still persist in some quarters of the value of the
direct rimary as a means of
off ice, but the system is now almost universal in the United
States. Only Connecticut and Rhode Island still cling to the
ronvention system' exclusively, although in New York the
primary is limited to state and national legislative offices,
and" in Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia and Virginia
the method is optional with each party. New Mexico was the
latest state to adopt a primary law. .
r? ; The most recent objections have been raised to the
"open" type of primary, in which voters may select any party
ballot they wish. This system prevails in Idaho, Washington,
Minnesota, Montana and Wisconsin. . 1
Theoretically, all of the democrats might vote for Andy
Gump in the republican primary, and all the republicans
might vote to nominate Caspar Milquetoast on the democratic
ticket, each party thus hoping to weaken the opposing ticket
and assure its own victory. The Idaho primary this year, and
the national furor following, to which President Roosevelt
contributed in charging "political immorality," j focused at
tention on this question, i - f
Oregon, jointly with Wisconsin, claims leadership in the
development of the primary; they both adopted it in 1904.
Xts spread to an dui two states
indicates its popular appeal. The next j stop may be to cure
its weaknesses and imperfections. ; - . 1
A
Oregon City
As was anticipated when The Statesman the other day,
with what it hoped was obviously humorous intent, com
mented on the "slum clearance" program -in Clackamas
county, there has been instant response from Oregon City.
The Enterprise, clearly recognizing the spirit of our remarks,
observes: - . - - " ' . - 1 -
"Establishment of the first county unit housing: authority
of Oregon has aroused state-wide comment of the press, based
upon a Washington newspaper release which eridences ignorance -of
housing conditions here. Washington has its slums, cheek by
jowl with costly federal structures. New York tenements have
long been a disgrace to our most populous city, and factory cen
ters have.been cursed by hastily built dwellings lacked comfort
and sanitation., But if. our local housing authority restricts its
activity to slum-clearance, it will hare nothing to do. ; . .
! "Millions are at our disposal for the elimination of the
slums of Clackamas county, and we hope the Great White Father
will not deny us a few. dollars, if a rigorous search should fail to
. Jind the conditions' to fit the basic requirements. After all, the :
experiment -will not cost ua anything, although we hare received
some- rather unsavory advertising at the hands of the publicity
hounds. :. ; : - ' : . ; '-:-.''!;: .--,!.
: "The county housing authority has a dirty job. sans dirt. j.
and may properly cease to function if suggested projects are s
'sot on the desired lowly plane. Meanwhile, onr county has been
held up to the nation's scorn as unclean, and most; of us resent
At as being untrue. We had hoped the state press would pass the
subject by, but newspaper vigilance has triumphed, greatly to
vMir own discomfiture and embarrassment." i
Fortunate
k Come to think of it, the Czechs are lucky. Most likely
they haven't come to think of it. But just think how for
tunate we'd feel here in the United States if we could get
rid of troublesome minorities as easily as Czechoslovakia
does it without trying at all. ! . j
Wouldn't it be nice if we could push all the communists
over to a strip of territory on our extreme left and then move
the border inside of them; and push all our fascists -don't
fool yourself, we have them over to the right edge and
draw a line this Bide of them. : ' ,
. ii Then if we had a couple of borders left, we'd generously
have one for whatever minority is your pet hate but we'd
reserve the last one for the jitterbugs.' j
1 1 Several times during the past week people called us up and
asked if we were getting out an extra about the war. Some of them
snorted when we asked in effect ".What war?" and, insisted there
was one going on. They had heard about It somewhere. But the
reliable Associated Press kept us Instantly Informed on all that did
l.2?pen, and nevtr once sent a dispatch telling what didn't happen.

(Continuing from yesterday:)
Henry W. Halleck. one of the five
of the list being considered in the
present series, was graduated
from . West Point in the class of
1839. In 1848 he was sent from
New York on the troop ship Lex
ington to Monterey, CaL, and oil
that 198 day ' voyage translated
Baron Jomini's "Vie Politique et
Milltaire de Napoleon," in Eng
lish. "The Political and Military
Life of Napoleon," which, in 1864,
he published, in tour volumes. -
"Old Brains" was the name his
companion in the military serv
ice gave him; a deserved title. In
California, Halleck had quite a
remarkable career. Under Col. R.
B. Mason and General Bennett Ri
ley, the two military governors of
California during- its transition
period from Spanish-Mexican rule
to American statehood, 184 6-'50,
Halleck was virtually secretary of
state. He was brevetted captain,
rr. S. A., in May, 1847.
He was a member of the consti
tutional convention, which framed
the first set of fundamental laws
for what became the state of Cali
fornia. He refused the offices of
supreme judge and United States
senator. From 1854, he was head
of the leading law firm of Cali
fornia, at San Francisco, and, ac
tive in early day business affairs;
amassed -a fortune. April 10V
1855, he married Elizabeth Ham
ilton,' a granddaughter , of the
great Alexander Hamilton, one of
the founders of the American re
public. . At the beginning of the Civil
war, President Lincoln made Hal
leck a major general. He suc
ceeded Fremont in command of
the' Department of Missouri.: Kan
sas and Ohio were added to his
command March 11, 1862, and the
whole named the Department of
Mississippi, and later he was made
military adviser to President Lin
coln, and still further along in
the Civil war was- given the title
of general in chief, ' and, toward
the close, chief of staff.
Halleck was again to have high
service in the westernmost west.
August 30, 186S, he was given
charge of the Military Division of
the Pacifl'vand his last high com
mand was that of the Division of
the South, to which he was as
signed March 16, 1869, with head
quarters at Louisville, Kentucky.
General Halleck died in 1872.
He was the author of "The Ele
na e n t s of Military Art and Sci
ence," and other books of kin
dred import, used widely as texts
in military schools.
; .
Nathaniel Lyon, born July 14,
1818, died August 10, 1861.
Birth place, Ashford, Conn., of an
old Puritan line, running back to
n,-r the Mayflower days.
He graduated from West Point
with the 1841 class; had service
in the Seminole war in Florida,
and the Mexican war; in the bat
tles of Vera Cruz,- Cerro Gordo,
City of Mexico. . Raised to first
lieutenant In the' Mexican war,
and captain In 1851. After the
Mexican war, was detailed for
frontier duty in California, until
1854; then, till j 1861, was sta
tioned in "bleeding Kansas."
V S
Captain Lyon felt that no state
should withdraw from the Union,
and that attempted secession
should be met with "discreet
measures of coercion." On Feb
ruary 6, 1861, Capt. Lyon was put
in charge of the St. Louis arsenal.
On May 1, 1861, he was made
brigadier generalj and given su
preme command j of the Union
forces in St. Louis. He sent Col.
Frank Sigel into j southwest Mis
souri, and himself took Jefferson
City June 15, and captured Boon
vUIe two days later.
V ' V
jJfVIth 5400 troops, General Ly
on attacked a combined forca nf
V0.000 composed of Confederates
&ad disloyal state troops, and in
the battle which ensued was killed
at the head of his battalions. He
immediately became a national
hero, and was given a large part
of the credit in holding the state
of Missouri in the Union. It is at
this particular period of history
interesting to know, or to recall,
that freedom loving German im
migrants, a large number of whom
(not long after the 1848 purge)
were in Missouri, fighting under
Col. Sigel. one of their number,
also aided materially in holding
that state in the Union.
-.: .v -t
General Lyon was related to the
first and second Mrs. R. P. Boise,
Sr., who Were sisters, wives of the
well known early Oregon pioneer,
circuit and supreme 'judge, one of
the principal framers of the Oregon-
state constitution, etc., etc.
General Lyon had a brother, who
came to California in early days,
then to Oregon, and erected at In
dependence, Oregon, one of the
first warehouses in that town.
The brother had a son, who be
came a druggist in California, and
there began the manufacture and
sale In and from , his own drug
store In a modest way of Lyon's
tooth powder, which from that in
conspicuous start grew and de
veloped into what is now a world
wide business, representing a
great fortune.

The Novotny Kidnaping Case
i It is now seventeen day since
little Jan Nbvotny, hia tutor, and
bodyguard, have been penned up
by the Buten
gang. Such in
formation as has
been smuggled
out 1 n d i c a tes
that the child's
spirit end that of J
his protectors re
main unbroken.'.
In spite of the
fact that hia rich
relative are
making - a deal
rtay nwm with his - captors
which frightens him very much,
his upbringing under an old tutor,
who studied under the great Anglo-Saxon
scholars and a well
known American revolutionary
hero, George .Washington, stands
him in good stead, although he
never had the opportunity to
learn, endurance on the playing
fields of Eton.
:-- It I is now fourteen days since
the Butch gang delivered the first
ransom note to the guardians of
the child. .'
These guardians, Mr. John BuU
and ' Madame Marianne, were the
child's godparents, and at Its birth
bestowed upon him a handsome
small estate with a very strong
wall protecting it against maraud
ers who in preceding centuries
had : been numerous in that com
munity. . In the first ransom note the
Butch gang threatened that unless
the wall be immediately given up,
they would kill the child. A note
smuggled 1 out by .the bodyguard
of little Jan to his guardians said,
"I don't want to be killed, but are
you quite sure they won't kill me
anyhow? We've got a few guns
Inside this wall, and! maybe we'd
better keep the wall. Listen, god
parents, you dont know, Butch,
but" he was around in our neigh
borhood last week and snatched
another kid, and what he did was
something fierce." .
The kid's guardians studied the
ransom note a long time and de
cided to contact the gang's boas in
a mountain hideout.
The boss said, "What's this kid
to you anyhow? He is a brat, and
has been teasing some 'of onr
friends.
"You just give up the wall and
a good slice of his property or
else." .
Uncle John and Auntie Mari
anne had never met anybody like
Butch in their lives, although they
had. read about him in the news
papers. They, argued with Butch.
They said. "Listen, sir, it's against
the law!" . .
Butch, making 'an ominous
bulge in one pocket, emitted the
genial laugh which has made him
popular in the underworld. "Dja
wanna shoot it out?" he said, and
rattled ten thousand airplanes,
the sound of which was practical
ly drowned out by the rattle of

. The guardians passed the word
on to the kid's tutor.
. "Pay the ransom," they said,
"but if that wretched fellow does
anything more to you, youcan
count on your old guardians."
The kid and his tutor talked to
gether and said, "It doesn't seem
a very smart thing to do, but prob
ably the old folks know better."
So they decided to give Butch
the ransom, although both Jan
and his tutor, and his bodyguards,
didn't believe for a minute that
that was all Butch wanted, be
cause he is a bragging fellow and
had boasted all around the under
world that he was going to take
over the whole place and bury Jan
in the cellar.
The godfather of little Jan next
contacted Boss Butch in a small
summer resort, taking beforehand
the precautions commonly used in'
kidnaping cases to avoid too much
publicity.
There was a good deal of talk ,
around, among-the mob, of lynch
ing the bobs, and that would have
been against law and order.
But before making the next .
contact the godparents notified
the police and got them ready to
act. They remembered the 10,000
airplanes and that little Jan had
a distant relative off in the north,
who was known as a hard-boiled
fellow and nasty in a fight. John
and Marianne hadn't -been on
more than- speaking terms with
him for a long time, but they sent
him a wire and said i "Will you .
send us some cops?" - " ?
. And Uncle Ivan answered la
conically: "Bet your life."
i Godfather' now handed over to
Butch the ransom money, ao coh
troilinglhli features as to hide
everything -except a look of in
eradicable disgust and surprise.
i "Dirty coward," thought Butch,
shoving the ransom money, back
into Mr. Bull's hand. "Yuh think
yuh can buy us off with that!"
And he raised the ante.
"But we had a gentleman's
agreement," said Mr. Bull, which
for a moment, floored Butch be
cause nobody had ever before .
mentioned that word in hia pres
ence. i Then, on second thought, Mr.
Bull added, "Would you mind put
ting it in writing. Sir."
"He called me Sir," thought
Butch .proudly, "him and me are
goin to be buddies."
. But when Mr. Bull read the sec
ond ransom note, he said, "It isn't '
reasonable."
