; Education: Formnla for Security
You could have heard a pin drop during any one of the
pauses in Father Alcuin's address at the Salem chamber of

for someone in a secular feathering or a secular publication to
voice the thought touched upon by the Mt Angel church
man; that the dictators of Europe would sometime be halted,
"if not otherwise, by the avenjring hand of God." It seems odd
hat sri tVw mntforna nut trtpir trust in divine World guidance.
It scarcely requires a formal religious faith, but rather a mere
belief in an orderly world controlled by inflexible natural
laws, to foresee an inevitable retribution for the handful of
men who have made a shambles of Eurone.
For Americans, however, Father Alcuin counseled physi
cal aloofness from Europe's quarrels which they cannot un
. derstand, and for a formula whereby this nation might avoid
similar ills, he suggested, simply, education. That is not a
- spectacular word nor a spectacular concept.
Yet it is essentially the same solution proposed in the
latest book of H. G. Wells, whose views on other subjects must
differ greatlv from those of Father Alcuin ; and it is a i orm
tila whose effectiveness has already been demonstrated. In
the present neutrality debate, what nations' example is being
most frequently cited? That of the Scandinaivian countries,
which have remained at peace alongside their warring neigh
bors. And what is their formula? Education education
-wnicn places mam stress upon mutual unaersxanoinK amuus
men, and by implication, among nations. The Scandinavian
renaissance began with an educational program and proceed
ed from that to a f solution of economic problems the prob
lems of distribution, upon which Father Alcuin also touched.
Education can be counted upon to save a nation only if it
is consciously directed toward that purpose, teaching not the
nation's past glories arid military triumphs which point to the
narrow nationalism that is Europe's affliction, but teaching
rather its principles and ideals. To Father Alcuin, that im
plies Christian education. -
But how can education save a nation from its external
. -enemies? For much of Europe, that may still be an unan
swered question. But for the United States, Abraham Lincoln
answered it more than 100 years ago, long before he had at
tained fame. At Springfield, 111., January 27, 1837, in his first
important address Lincoln said:
"At what point shall we expect the approach: of danger?
- Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step the
ocean and crash us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe.
Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our
own excepted) in their military chest, with a Bonaparte for a
commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio or
make a track on the Blue Ridge. . . .
"At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be ex
pected? 1 answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst
us; It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot we must
ourselves be--its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen
we must live through all time, or. die by suicide."

the governmental setups that have been enacted into national
law since 1932?"
Thus inquires R. D. Turpin of Mill City, who has been a
frequent contributor to the Safety Valve column and is an
avid student of political and economic problems. It would
take a lot of research to answer his question with complete
accuracy, because some of the governmental asrencies to
which he refers have been abolished and liquidated not
many, well grant, because once vou get a governmental bu
reau established it's extremely difficult to jret rid of it. The
NRA (National Recovery Administration) is one that comes
to mind. More than that, our list cannot be complete because
dates when some of the agencies were created are not given
in the directory of governmental bureaus, so for safety we'll
omit some of the doubtful, minor ones. First we'll list the prin
cipal alphabetical , arencies :
AAA Agricultural Adjustment Administration.
FSA Farm Security Administration.
FERA Federal Emergency Relief Administration.
FH A Federal Housing Administration.
PWA Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works.
NYA National Youth Administration.
REA Rural Electrification Administration.
WPA Works Progress Administration.
TV A Tennessee. Valley Authority.
NLRB National Labor Relations Board.
CCC Civilian Conservation Corns.
SEC Securities and Exchange Commission.
HOLC Home Owners I.oan Corporation.
RFC Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
It should be mentioned tbt the RFC was created under
the Hoover administration. There is an additional list of
agencies not so rwdilv identify hv their initials, including:
- Commodity Exchange Administration.
Federal Crop .insurance Corporation.
Federal Surplus Commodity Corporation.
Electric Home and Farm Authority.
Federal Dome Loan Bank Board.
. Social Security Board.
Commodity Credit Corporation.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Maritime Labor Board.
Expert-Import Bank.
National Power Policy Commission.
Wage and. Hour Division.
Those two lists, still incomplete, when bunched together
may look rather imposing. As a matter of fact, while it s a lit
tle difficult to define just what constitutes a governmental
bureau, by conservative count there were at least 231 of them
with offices in the national capital before the reorganization
bill was enacted and not much has been done under the auth
ority to reduce the number to date. That f ieures includes only
the rather important and expensive agencies. Actually it
takes a booklet of approximately 90 pacres of fine print iust to
list all the various branches of
V ashington. The enumeration above does not include the

Jedidiah Smith's later 10-4-J I
Ufe and death, what of
them? asks a very good
friend of this columnist:
' V
(Continuing from yesterday:)
Concluding the matter la "Page
ant of the Pioneers, the book:
"Note: After doing some, re
search work, which la being con
tinued, the writer beUeves Jedi
diah Smith, who inspired the
Macedonian call, and Jason Lee,
who responded to that call, were
blood relatives. Florence S. Bell
man? acting chief bibliographer ot
the Library of Congress, writes:
"We . . . find 'that Jason, Lee's
great-grandfather, Jedidiah Lee,
was the son of David and Lydia
(Strong) Lee, and that Lydia
Strong was the daughter ot Jedi
diah Strong, David Lee's stepfa
ther.
"Thus the name ''Jedidiah
Strong (Smith) might indeed, in
dicate a relationship between Ja
son Lee . and Jedidiah ' Strong
Smith-" There is also a posaibili
ty that Joseph Smith, founder of
the Mormon church, was related
to Lee and Smith, as indicated in
the title of the book written by
Mary Audentla Smith Anderson,
The Anctstry and Posterity of Jo
seph Smith and Emma Hale.
However, there are 75 Smith sur
name families in the New England
states not related."
Two new books conerning Jedi
diah Smith have ben published,
"The Travels of Jedidiah Smith.
a Documentary Outline Including
the Journal of the Great Ameri
can Pathfinder," by the Fine
Arts Press, Santa Ana, California,
by The Press of the Pioneers.
New York, in 1936. The last
named is a biography. The au
thor of both books is Maurice 8.
Sullivan.
Those books have a fourth man
saved from the Umpqua, river
massacre, Richard Leland. Sulli
van represents Jedidiah Smith
writing in his d I a r y, near San
Jose mission, on his way north:
"On my way I hired a young man
an Englishman, Richard Leland,
who had been in the country
about two years and was an ex
cellent horseman."
"a S
Sullivan represents Leland as
being with Smith and John Tur
ner, on what became Smith river
(Oregon), looking for a route out
ot the lower Umpqua country, at
the time of the massacre -and
thus escaping massacre with
them.
Sullivan represents Leland also
as arriving with 'John Turner and
Smith at Fort Vancouver, all but
starved. Also Leland. Arthur
Black and John Turner returning
to the Umpqua to get the stolen
goods from the Indians, with
Thomas McKay, and Smith re
turning with Alexander McLoed
ot the Hudson's Bay company on
the same errand.
S "a
But Sullivan has nothing of the
after activities of Leland. He
surmises that probably he joined
his countrymen the Hudson s
Bay company's employ. Sullivan's
books support the traditions that
the amount of money paid by Dr.
McLoughlln to Jedidiah Smith for
his recovered furs and" other
property, from the Umpqua In
dians, was far less than $32,000,
represented in the London draft.
The records of the Hudson's
Bay company, to be published at
some future date, may clear up
this matter, or may not.
S .
In the foreward of the biogra
phy of Jedidiah Smith by Sulli
van, published in 1936, are these
words concerning Jedidiah Smith
"He was the discoverer of the
central route from the Stony
(Kocky) mountains to the Paci
fic: leader ot the party which
made effective discovery of the
South Pass (1824), later to be
threaded by unnumbered thous
ands of homeseekers and gold
hunters. ...
S "a
"First white man to cross the
future state of Nevada.
"The first to traverse Utah
from north to south and from
west to east.
S
"The first American to enter
California by the overland route,
and to herald its change of mas
ters.
"The first white man to scale
the high Sierras, and the lint to
explore the Pacific hinterland
from San Diego to the banks of
the. Columbia.
s s s
"In brief, it was Smith, who,
greatest ot the trail breakers ot
his period, charted the way for
the spread of the Republic from
the Missouri to the westers sea.
Sullivan makes Jedidiah Smith
about seven months younger than
tne Dictionary ot American Biog
raphy estimated him. Sullivan
wrote: . $
"The blood of the Gaels ot the
Scotia highlands, of the English
and the French flowed In the
veins of the young Jedidiah
Strong Smith, who came into the
world at the little village of Jeri
cho, New York, on January 6
.1799, ... the sixth of 14 children
born to Sarah Strong and Jedi
diah Smith," among them "Aus

pany Jedidiah on bis last tralL
Of the discovery ot the South
Pass, the Sullivan book of biog
raphy says in part:
"Unmarked by the hoofs ot
white man's horse, the great
south Pass was waiting. . ,
Long years after, it is true, one
ot the men of John Jacob Astor
declared that a band of the As
tor party, 'making their way
homeward in 1812 after the sur
render of Astoria to the British,
had entered the pass from the
west. There Is some evidence
that he was mistaken. Whether
he was or not, the fact remains
that in the winter of 1823 this
path through the continental bar
rier was unknown in the settle
ments." (The reference here is to
Robert Stuart. In 1812, having
been with the party coming by
sea and founding Astoria in 1811,
Stuart and men returned over
land to carry dispatches to John
Jacob Astor. and they no doubt

It was then SUm Maynard
sauntered near Heather on his
way to the bar with Snapper.
Wherever horsemen gathered, this
pair could usually be found, as
Slim put it, "bulling around."
"Well, I'm glad the meet's
about over," Snapper was opining
gloomily, looking back over the
winter racing season in unpleasant
retrospection.
Washap
"I'd rather take my bath in the
good old conventional Saturday
night way Instead of every after
noon in those Santa Anita mu
tuels. And Coronado'a crack-up
was the final washup.
"Slim, things have been so
tough, I betcha if they t o o k a
blood test of me right now It
would come out 70 per cent cof
fee and doughnuts and the rest
hamburger."
Slim chuckled
"Aw, we'll stagger into another
lucky streak one ot these days,"
he comforted his gloomy compan
ion. But what good would it do It
they did, he wondered. Money
they won was like so many beer
checks to be tossed right back
over the bar of chance. What the
mutuels missed, the bookies got.
Slim was like that restless.
Once Slim had parlayed a shoe
string into a pair ot apats. He
ran his roll up to 14,000 and then,
In one grandiloquent swoop, tossed
it off on a 12 to 1 shot that's still
running.
"What price on the little sun
bonnet girl in the black suit?" de
manded Snapper, nodding toward
Heather.
Unobserved by the girl, Slim's
quick eye took in her lithe figure
from head to toe.
"Odds-on," he replied with con
viction. "About three to five,
I'd say." And Slim never hung out
a generous- price on any lady.
"Ten to one In my book," shot
back Snapper. "But mebbe I'm
prejudiced. You know how I like
em."
"They're all about the same,"
Slim said with an indifferent
shrug.
Sad Blue Ejres
But Slim caught himself slow
ing up to take a good look at
Heather Mills. . . . Sad blue eyes,
undei the shadowing brim of her
small black hat, cast a fugitive
glance at SUm.
One glance at her had an effect
on Slim akin to standing with a
ticket on a 100 to 1 shots nose and
watching him romp home on the
chin strap.

By jack Mcdonald
"Not interested!" Slim warned
himself, snapping his fingers by
way of emphasis.
Women, when it came right
down to serious cases, interfered
with a man's free and easy style
of living. Slim Just wanted to
drift along.
Hadn't he blown a good Job as
trainer of a division of three-year
olds for Matt Biddle, one ot the
ace trainers ot the east, last sum
mer, because Matt's daughter, a
"sweet young thing" type, was al
ways hanging around.
Slim's attention was drawn
from Heather by a familiar figure.
Charlie Bassitt was marching
through the lobby, herding a non
descript group to the bar.
Bassitt was looking much bet
ter than he bad on the day of the
big race, when Coronado died
straining in the hope of one last
victory. He was better groomed,
his cigar was massive, and his
stony gambler's eyes glittered
with the zest of a man who had
guessed right.
"Lady Killer was a cinch."
Bassitt was blustering as he
swaggered past them. "I wish
Coronado hadn't of fell Just to
prove it."
Indignant Tears
Slim signalled to Snapper with
a Jerk of his head in Bassitt's di
rection. If Slim had looked then
he would have surprised Heather,
who had heard, with her blue eyes
astorm with indignant tears. But
SUm, with Snapper, was traUing
the Bassitt party into the bar.
"Tell us, Bassitt, what was the
real low-down on Coronado?"
they heard one of the party ask.
"You read what the vet said in
the papers," answered Bassitt,
eyeing himself In the big bar mir
ror. "Strained his back when he
got cast in the gate, broke it
when he fell"
Slim and Snapper traded
glances. Both were visloning the
big chunk ot tickets Bassitt had
held in his hand even before Coro
nado had been hurt in the start
ing gate.
"You suppose Bassitt beat that
race on the square?" Snapper
asked in a whlspar.
"On the square in a round
about way," Slim snapped.
Back 'in the lobby. Artichokes
came stepping as if the soft cush
ioned rugs stung his feet.
He stood fidgeting with his
cap, staring confusedly about
him, only a few feet from Hea
ther but not seeing her.
Artichokes continued to stare,
his mouth open. He was capable
October 4,; 1939
of standing that way. Heather
knew, for hours.
"Here I am. Artichokes," she
said, smiling a little.
Artichoke bobbed his round
head and looked relieved.
"Car's all packed, Miss Heath
er," he proffered. "All your
things and Mist' Dan's picture is
in and everything is ready for to
go back."
Heather stood'iip. Her slim fig
ure in the black Suit drooped with
despair.
"Go back,' she repeated, unhap
pily. "To the ranch to Carmel
Valley. But what is there to go
back to. Artichokes? There's no
Coronado any more. There never
will be, never in this world again,
another horse like Coronado."
Her voice broke. Artichokes

WHAT ABOUT GOLD?
Have gold miners ever won
dered what it would be like if the
world should decide suddenly that
gold is a pretty poor material to
use for money, after all?
For that matter, have all of us
ever given that possibility the
thought it deserves?
If the world took that step, it
would only be following the lead
of America, you know. America
has made it a crime for Americans
to use gold for money. Ameri
cans had to turn their gold over
to the government, which buried
it In underground vaults as a base
for the currency. That gold is
still money over the world at
large. But it is not money to any
Individual American.
Now suppose the rest of the
world decided our underground
gold doesn't mean much to any
body but Americans. The rest ot
the world could then settle inter
national trade balances by book
keeping and the Nazi type of bar
ter system. And where, then,
would we be 7
We would be sitting on top ot
a heap of gold that might find
some useful purpose replacing
copper for Bonneville transmis
sion wires, perhaps, but would be
of little more value than lead or
sine for much else-
What condition might possibly
lead the other nations ot the
world to take such a step?
Loss of t h elr own gold, no
aouot. xmo use maintaining an arti
ficial value on something they
wouldn't have.
And what might cause other na
tions to lose all their gold, and
America to gain it?
War, of course, and America
making and shipping things of
value to the - nations, de
manding in . 'ieir gold un
der a mis-n; sh and car
ry" plan.
Is this what .. w d.c unknowing
ly preparing for as we get ready
to gc into the business of sending
our useful and badly-needed natu
ral resources, food and manufac
tures overseas? Is this what we
should expect during the time that
we ourselves are paying more for
the necessities of lite because so
many ot the necessities will be
feeding troops in France or the
fishes at the bottom of the sea?
: We don't know. We only know
that this possibility is at the very
least somewhat more than a pipe
dream. We also can guess that
if It happened. It might very well
be "Goodbye, America, Hello.
Stalin" for us.
And the alternative to demand
ing gold tor our proposed arming
and feeding of warring Europe?
Loans, of course. Credits that
we discovered such a short time
ago could be renounced so easily.
And what followed the default
of America's war loans to Europe
the last time?

Second mOSC important umcmu
is the one! mentioned above the
proposal to keep American ships
out of combat cones. To this ex
tent its purposes are conuicung. .
Creates' paradox of all is the
' Indication that congressional
mail Is upwards of 00 per cent
against the base point of the
bill repeal of the arms em
bargowhile Its advocates are
claiming a favorable majority
of 65 to SI senators for it.
Whesi senators are so cold to
suggestions of their constitu
ents, many answers must be
available.' Canal ones are (1)
strong backing in the press for
neutrality, (2) polls indicating
a somewhat different prevail
ing popular opinion than con
gressional mail, (S) presiden
tial pressure.
Most impressive answer may
be cotton. . Wyrd southern
senators have come back into the
fold on this issue. The democratic
party is. reunited again. Individ
ual explanations of these return
ing lost sheep are varied, but
there is a prevailing opinion In
congress that the new bill will
increase the opportunities for
selling to Britain and France
and the one export product in
which the' south Is interested is
cotton.
Whether this expectation is
warranted may be debatable. Bri
tain and France can now buy as
much cotton as they can pay for.
Yet the wayward seem to agree
they would like to help the old
allies win the war by means
which offers a prospect of non
involvement and they feel that
if. they offer opportunities for
arms and munitions buying, oth
er buying will increase too. In
other words, they appear to be
playing a:. joint hunch of heart
and potketbook in a way as in
tangible as the prospects of how
the bill Itself will work out in
operation. ;
