the real damage occurred amone those ultra-liberals on the

their strongest bond. And now ! Here is what Oswald Garrison

-Like attracts like; Stalin and Hitler are not tar apart In

We're in the Bleachers
"Kill the hi bum! Get In there and tight! Throw 'em out:
they're stalling!" I
As a nation of bleacherites, such phrases come naturally
to our Ii'ds. And here's the biggest fight in two decades start
ing in Europe, and as usual we're up in the .bleachers, not
down in the ring Instead of a couple of dollars for a seat up
where field glasses are necessary to see what's going on, we
got past the gate for a few cents the price of a newspaper
or the cost of electricity to onerate the radio. i
But as usual, there are those among us who yell "throw
the bums out" even before the first round is well under way.
iThey re saying the English and French are just stalling, plan
ning to make peace when Germany subdues Poland. It may be
true, but the bulk of evidence is to the contrary. I
Even if it is true, we're in no position to complain.! We
don't want to get down there into the ring not -as a nation.
If there are. individuals who do, they can cross the line into
V Canada and enlist. But unless we're willing to jump in and
do better, we haven't any right to crticize the ones who are
doing the fighting. ' -. '.. - - -A , j

which was made a national holiday only last year. But the Ar
mistice is over for three of the'nations that negotiated it It
will be an empty holiday in England, France and Germany,
though Americans still have cause to celebrate. It should be a
day for pledging continuance of the Armistice, so far as the
United States is concerned. ,

Against such men as the two
governors, and against the truth
which was on their side. General
Wool waa sure to meet final
feat. The regular army men who
served in the west during pioneer
days were generally high minded,
capable and honest. They were
represented by such men as the
then Lieutenant U. S. Grant, Sec
ond Lieutenant P. H. Sheridan.
Captain E. O, S. Ord, the three
then major generals who were
present at Appomattox to receive
the sword of General Lee.
But they were no braver or bet

Handsome Larry Regan came
Into town as a conquering hero.
Mr. Crisp and -Ace received aim
with open arms. . When he pat
his name to his new contract, he
was . walking on air . in the
big money, bow!
. Misunderstandings slipped
away, and Mike was perfectly
happy. For that week they had
many long talks. Handsome tried
to explain about Iris, and Mike
listened, hardly hearing. Iris was
no longer important. Handsome
loved hec That was all that
mattered.
Handsome talked much about
his mother. , Her death had
shocked him indeed. Because his
hand was also bothering him
again, Crisp and Ace decided that
Regan must go sonth and stay
there until the spring training
season began.
"Will you eome with me?"
Handsome asked the day he got
the ultimatum. But Handsome
knew then what Mike's-answer
had to be. . Jimmle was slipping
fast. Her mother's health was
breaking under the strain. Both
had to admit that she must stay
on with the family.
To say good-bye to Handsome,
to let him go alone, was one or
the hardest things Mike had ever
had to do in her whole life. The,
last night Handsome was in town.
Mike tried to keep up her spirits, k
tried to be gay. But It was so
difficult The old feeling of im
pending disaster was heavy.
There was a brief tearful fare
well. 4
Mike wrote him every other
day. Handsome liked to get her
letters and, sometimes, he'd wire
her to be at the hotel at 9:30
p. m. and then he would tele
phone her.
Iris had faded into unpleasant
memory. Larry's father was going
south for the holidays and Hand
some wanted Mike to come with
him. But she couldn't She was
struggling to figure where to
raise funds for necessary Christ

Christmas was the happiest one
Mike had ever known. If Hand

"Have them marked M. S. It.,
Handsome wrote. "They'll be
swell for next year."
His father sent her a pair of
bracelets of gold mesh which had
belonged to his mother, then to
his wife. They were handsome
bits of costume Jewelry. Mike
was pleased and touched by that
gift She was one of the family.
She . and Mr. Regan kept up a
gay, friendly correspondence.
Handsome wrote that he was
going In to Miami for New Year's
eve. The holiday meant nothing
to Mike. Only a double shift at
the hotel. Usually she got
through in time to go Into Times
Square when midnight sounded.
She loved that. At a quarter to
12, she slipped out of the hotel
alone, hatless, her coat wrapped
about her, ran up to the Square.
She stood tor a long time listen

In the middle of January,
Carol Lee called her at the hotel
one noon. "What about lunch?
We're going south and I want
to see you before we leave."
Mike arranged to meet her for
half an hour at a tea room
around the corner.
When Carol had settled her

handsome leather purse, she lean

"You're thinner and white as
a ghost.
"Your Imagination!
Carol shook her head: "If only
somebody would ever tell me I
was getting thin! , I're gained
nine pounds since the -: season
ended! It's that cook of ' ours."
Carol leaned across the table:
"Now, what's all this about Hand
some T-
"What?" Mike was honestly
surprised.
Carol scrutinized her face.
"Yoa always were a - dose one.
Mike. But I like yoa. .I'm going

Carol nodded: "That's what

but somebody's got to tell you
. . . he's with her all the time,
morning, noon and night. They
thought it was Just one of those
things, until they saw the way
he's rushing her. Carol shook
her finger at Mike. "I always
say when a man lets a girl drive
his automobile, that's love. And
she's driving his new car all over
down there. Harriet's Just ap
palled and so is Tom."
"It Isn't serious. Carol. I'm
sure. Larry has been grand to
me." She told Carol about the
Christmas gifts, the. letters and

"Well, he should do something
for yon, the way you worked to

wouldn't do thst for anybody."
CaroL you're unduly worried.

kid!"
"Yes, and he's playing with a
wild cat I could tell him that"
I suppose there win be some
thing in the papers any time
about it?" Mike offered.
Yes. and Ace Barnes will be
furious."
Mike smiled. "I doubt If Ace
will care Just as long as Hand

it was not until Carol had left
her that Mike began to worry
and worry. That old feeling of
danger ahead!

Letters From
Statesman Readers
NO REHEARSAL NEEDED
To the Editor:
Csn a radio program be given
without rehearsal?
It waa Interestingly done Wed
nesday evening when the MRA
group that is visiting Salem on a
tour of, the Pacific states broad
cast from the- lobby of Hotel
Marlon orer KSLM..
To see that program Just de
velop as it went was a revelation.
In in informal drawing room
scene one of the most Important
questions of the world was being
discussed living.
The Idea was to show how s
God-controlled world, business,
political and social, can be es
tablished by a change In each in
dividual life.
Several i of these out-of-state,
out-of-country visitors had a few
statements ' written down, but
most of the prepared stuff went
by the board. The cheerful speak
ers (the smile they all wore spoke
their sincerity) were so Inspired
it was difficult for the announcer
to end the ad lib flow of speech
in order to hear from other
speakers.
The announcer, who handled
the difficult job of interrogator
In the free for all, aptly summed
up aRer the program, "When any
one knows their work so thor
oughly and is so Inspired by it,
it is Just as well not to even try
to use written statements."
