Everywhere either system nene-

of the dreaded Gestapo, was in

tion.
Senator Borah's whole speech
is a ound and fearfully optimis
tic refusal to look at realities.
The Senator has refused to look
at them for many months. His
Information, which, he said, was
better than that of the State De
partment, told him that there
wasn't going to be a war. Mr.
Farley and Mr. Morgenthau, in
tne r resident's own Cabinet, evi
dently believed that Mr. Roose
velt was playing Cassandra, for
the war he predicted caught them
in Europe. Well, the war Is here.
And it will be waged all over the
eartn. with every conceivable
weapon on both sides with eco
nomic and military weapons, and
by the Germans Vith the revolu
tionary weapon, and not a single
neutral wui De spared.
Like Islam, . the Nazis are
spreading a fanatical doctrine by
the sword. That is the essence
of this war.
This doctrine is absolutely In
compatible with anything that
Senator Borah hag ever believed
In. He speaks of America's duty
to preserve reason and justice.
The frontiers of reason and
Justice, Senator, are on the
Rhine. Whether or not they
were there In 1917 is no longer
pertinent. That is where they
are today. .
.
Nothing of 19S9 will be the
same at the end of this war.
There will either be a new world
In. which there Is reason and
justice, or there will be despot
Ism, chaos and the decline of
the West predicted by Oswald
spengier. -
It is in this situation that the
Senator wants us to forbid the
sale of arms to Britain and
France when all traditional neu
trality permits us, legitimately
and as neutrals, to do so.
Britain and France have . not
poured the entire energies of
their people for five long years
Into nothing else than building a
war machine. For that we are
to penalize them! They have
money here they have It here
because thy have not eut them

Tha Senator anA th w ailed
and its i peace a great disservice
when they spread at home and
abroad the Idea that to repeal the
Amhnrrn on irmi ronntitntsa a
violation of neutrality. They are
arguing tnat a return to tne Tra
ditional practices of international
law is an act of war.
Admitting that we have every
rlrt a a nontralo t n rpnoal the
embargo on arms, thev sav that
to repeal it now would be un
neutral.
It Is true that it would have
hAAn much wiser to reneai it tw
fore the war began. The Presi
dent urged its repeal at the last
Congress, apprehending that war
would break out this summer.
But Senator Borah was sure that
the President was exaggerating.
The loneer rpneal is nostnoned
and the more acrimonious and
prolonged the debate'" over it, the
more unneutral its repeat can oe
made to seem Dartlcularlv if the
peace bloc (which should be
called the ostrich biocj insist on
advertising repeal as an act of
hostility thus doing their own
share of warmongering.
The fart la that the overwhelm
ing tnalnrltw nf neonle In this
country believe that the only hope
lor reason and justice is tnat tne
war should be won by the West
and as quickly as possible. That
Is a fact which no legislation can
change. And in this chaotic
world nothing is more dangerous
than a policy at loggerheads with
the people's sense or justice.
-
To he a neutral nation in this
war does not mean that we bury
our wills and our consciences for
Its duration or keep legislation to
aid aggression, oppression and
revolution.
It mean we do not ko to war.
rt mim that we nrenare our
people, not to think that the war
will not affect them, but to real
ise that it will affect them enorm
ously; that we must be prepared,
as neutrals, to take a great deal
on the chin and still not go to
war. It means that Instead of
Indulging in a spirit of defeat
ism for the other half of West
ern civilization, we begin actively
to discuss and envisage the new,
democratic, just, reasonable and
intelligent world of the future
. . . that we think not of 1918
but of 1945.

tioned Bishop's early life in the

to include plants at Pendleton,

Paul Wallace, recalling a
friendship of 50 years with Mr.
Bishop, declared that his was an
ascending life," fuller and more
satisfactory each year. Dr. Bruce
Baxter mentioned Mr. Bishop's
service to Willamette university

tion of the honors bestowed.

Silver Falls Area
Rocking Discussed
Rocking of the parking space
and roads in Silver Falls state
park was under consideration by
members of the county court yes
terday, with obtaining an ade
quate supply of crushed rock the
most weighty difficulty before
them.
The court yesterday met with
power company officials to dis
cuss extension of present power
lined to a rock crusher at Union
Hill. The power officials indi
cated that such an extension
would need to be of three phases
instead of the one phase now
employed, and that a year's
operation of the crusher would
be necessary to justify such an
investment. Present plans con
template only four or five
months' running of the crusher.
An alternative plan, that of
blasting the rock for base and
hauling finer crushed rock from
the Stayton plant is also under
consideration.
State highway commission.
CCC, PWA and the county agen
cies would all be Involved in the
proposed action, for which some
5,000 to 6,000 yards of fine rock
will need to be supplied by the
government.

Poultry
Larceny
Trial Here Today
Two Men Brought to City
tQFace Charge; One of
! Four Released
Frank R. Recomb, A3, of Sher
wood, and William T. Jones, 43,
Portland, were brought here from
Oregon City yesterday by officers
from the county sheriff's office
to stand trial on a charge of lar
ceny of poultry. They will be ar
raigned today in justice court for
preliminary hearing.
Recomb and Williams, together
with Clifferd Molde, 29, of Wich
ita station were arrested yesterdav
by Clackamas county authorities
in what was believed to be a
cleanup of- widespread poultry
thieving, operations which have
occurred since mid-summer.
Recomb and Williams have con
fessed, it was reported, to the
theft of 165 Barred Rock pullets
from the A. E. Leary Westwood
hatchery near Woodburn on Sep
tember 8. The ring is believed to
have stolen more than 5000
chickens in 50 or 60 thefts.
Molde, whose father was re
leased after first being held by the
Clackamas county officials, is
sun held In the Oregon City jail
pending arraignment on a charge
of possession of stolen property.

Breakfast
(Continued from page 4)
Applegate's hut was covered with
fir boughs which had become very
dry. In the evenings it was his
custom to read and write by the
light of pitch splinters, a substi
tute for candles. While so en
gaged, the volume of flames sud
denly increased. . . . All the upper
part of the shanty burned away
before the fire could be checked.
I doubt if Uncle Jesse considered
this sudden combustion of his
'study as a capital Joke, but I
heard laughter in the grove after
the illumination.
"The native population of our
neighborhood was a tribe of the
Calapooias, and near and far.
even to the sea, were the Tuala
tins, Chemeketas, Tillaraooks and
Luckiamutes, all seeming to be
the same tribe and speaking the
same language. . . . In the sum
mer of 1844, the cattle, horses
and wagons left at old Fort Walla
Walla were sent for and the
remnants arrived in ' the settle
ment late in the fall. A part
of the cattle were not found. A
few, it was supposed, had been
appropriated by the Indians."
Jesse A. Appleeate related in
his book that his father, Lindsay,
was a carpenter of sorts and that
his uncle. Charles, was a rough
blacksmith, while Jesse was a
surveyor and somethinsr of an
architect, and that they together
made and repaired their farm

with1 building houses and getting
settled at first on their claims
in what became Polk county, and,
when they were ready to break
ground for crops they used a
plow that came from the old
mission perhaps the first to
poke: its nose into the virgin soil
in all that county. They soon
round that that pioneer plow was .
of pot metal in its parts that
were: not wood, and its separate
pieces soon began to break; so
Charles, the blacksmith, was
called upon to mend it; and, by
1849, tne last season it was used,
every part was new; and still not
good enough to be worth taking
to southern Oregon. So the
pioneer plow of old Polk was left
to rest in the soil it had been
the first to disturb in beginning
the arts of civilized life.
S
He related that Lindsay se
cured their ffrst flour in Oregon
by coming 15 miles to the mis
sion mills at what became Salem
with; wheat to be ground, and
the family on Salt creek had hot
cakes the night when the grist
reached home. A great fea6t!
They had tried various substi
tutes for wheal, bread wheat
scalded with lye made from wood
ashes, result hominy; wheat
ground in a coffee mill, wheat
pounded in a mortar with a
pestle, etc.
About the time the Applegates
were ready to move to southern
Oregon, James H. O'Neal and
James W. Nesmith had built and
were operating a flourishing mill
on the Rickreall, at what became
(and still Is) Ellendale. (Tbe
