: "Let's Think With Our Heads"
Taking the above-quoted slogan as his TOlationr Iceep
ing America out of the international whirlpools, Dean Col
lins of the Oregon Journal editorial staff made f
i i ..vi f i,rvin club luncheon in
Salem recently. It's curious how
are the Journal editorial writers, wan mey ; -
tl.i.i. rit- siinfir Knv who made crooa in large
titrTdee SuiiFf "thinking With our head,
rather than with our emotions." t -
That was his formula for national survival and, assum
ing that it is the only available formula, it doesn t leave us
much hope. Offhand one would estimate that the nation must
be caught in the world maelstrom and devoured long before a
sufficient number of citizens could be persuaded to start
thinking logically about public questions.
Take for instance our group estimation of our public
men, from among whom we must select leaders to point the
way in times of crisis such as the present. Ask any democrat
to name the republican most capable of directing the nation is
destiny from the White House, and it's almost a certainty
that he will answer, "Herbert Hoover but he cant be
elected.
Ask a republican the same question and he may give the
same answer but hell not want to be quoted. And its all
because Hoover in 1932 was "smeared" with the blame for
the depression. In total disregard of .the fact that it was
worldwide, inevitable, and started seven months after he took
office too soon for his administration to have had any part
in creating it. The blame was all heaped on Hoover; none was
handed bck to Cal Coolidge, who "didn't choose to run be
cause he could see the depreson coming.
As Frank Kent remarked in analyzing this situation re
cently in his cplumn, Hoover has survived the "smearing
and is again being accorded much the same respect that his
character and ability commanded from the Belgian relief pe
riod onward but it so affected some members of his own
party that politically, "they would rather be wrong than iden
tify themselves with Mr. Hoover in the right."
That, we submit, is not "thinking with our heads." The
rarity of such thinking is just the reason why the democrats
are right in saying Hoover "can't be elected." The most that
can be hoped for is that a repuDiican administration some uay
may make use of his exceptional talents in some capacity.
As for the neutrality question, we are not "thinking with
our heads" about that Fortunately, emotional thinking in
this instance has taken a course thatcoincides with common
sense. In the United States, for the moment, both are opposed
to war. '

Franco Pontificates
Of all the propaganda sheets which have come to our at
tention and they are not counted on the fingers of one hand
that of Nationalist, Falangist, Fascist, or Franco-ist Spain
is the most alluring. Printed in an attractive format with lib
eral use of deep wine reds and ripe olive greens, it would be
a very humorous publication were it not so deeply solemn in
its reference tq the tin gods of the new Spanish regime. As it
is, it is a trifle ridiculous; and one can almost feel it take off
its hat when Franco enters the room. V f
The lead article of a recent edition of the" sheet is a fan
cied interview between one Manuel Aznar, a reporter with
the apparent instincts of a Pekinese puppy, and Franco, who
is made to pontificate on the European situation like the or
acle at Delphi, except that if anything his phrases are more
indefinite than that esteemed lady's were said to be by Hero
dotus and the rest of his contemporaries. The subject is the
European war, and the method a dialogue in which the
weighty general evidently attempts profundity and achieves
pomposity.
Franco's diagnosis of the European war starts with the
belief that Russia teamed up with Germany because she, like
all the other continental powers, wished to revise the Ver
sailles treaty, which had done her monstrous wrong, and that
she could only effect her end by combining with Germany,
not Britain. But admitting that this has been her reason, and
that Is an ample one, the Spanish leader then asserts that
"Germany today should be the barrier strong and solid
enough to oppose the orientalization of Europe, the political
and social aims of a great and pushing Russia." Having thus
in effect reversed his field; the Spanish general takes refuge
in advocating an imediate peace for all parties concerned. He
omits mention, howeverrof peace terms which would be in
the least acceptable to either
cumstances, seems to be slightly important.
The Spanish leader achieves his greatest heights when
he speaks to his interviewer on
Leader" at the present time. He replies :
"That of being always ready to do whatsoever lies In our
power. . . to conciliate. . . the peoples who today fight among
themselves, because in this way wo serre the historical destiny of
oar Motherland and defend Western civilisation, oar Clrillza
tion. sacred to Spain. . . Unfaithfulness to the historical spirit
- which Is a great force the sacrifice of this spirit to material

their actions and course they, are serving their respective histor
ical national destinies, or if. to the contrary, they have falsified
them by an Incomprehensible submission of their eternal spirit
to materialism. i
' So, in words of vague, ill

may some day be forced to pay back in terms of foreign
armies occupying their northern provinces. Then, indeed, it

(Continuing from yesterday: 1
In the four issues of this column
for September 21-29, 1938, this
writer had a sketch of John B.
Horner's life, ho having passed
to his eternal rest on September
14 or that year.
This columnist had known Mr.
Horner for 49 years: had enjoyed
many Intimate talks with him, but
until after his death did not know
that his original nam was not
Horner., but Swadlenaek; John
Baptiste Swadlenaek. But let's
have some paragraphs, from that
four- day sketch In this column
in September. 1983. They follow:
v
"John B. Horner's mother la
bored seven years at 17 cents a
day as offbearer in an Austrian
brickyard la a Moravian village
that she might gain the privilege
of coming to America and giving
her future children advantages
not vouchsafed for them in the
land of her birth, and the com
ing of the son whom she chris
tened John Baptiste and dedicated
to the ministry of the German
Reform church was the first an
swer to that prayer and those
yearnings.
"Such a background and so
compelling a heritage were the
lights that inspired and beckoned
the life course of John B. Horner.
He was born on the Braxos river
not far from ' Galveston, Texas,
August 4, 185.
"To escape the turmoil and
strife of the Impending conflicts
that led to the war of the states
and to be away from the slave
holding Influences of that section,
the family moved to Folsom, Cal.,
and then to Virginia City, Nev., in
the mining activities of the Com
stock lode and thence, early in
1862, started across the wilder
ness spaces for Walla Walla,
Wash. The company with which
they traveled, finding the way
trackless, abandoned their wagons
and made pack saddles of their
boxes, and thus proceeded as a
pack train. That was the time of
unusually high waters (the floods
of 1861-2.) and they were com
pelled to ford the swollen Owyhee
and Malheur rivers and improvise
boats of canvas over willow frames
in which to get their women and
children and luggage across and
several times they fortunately
though barely escaped hostile In
dian attack. . . . The party came
to the Grand Ronde valley, crossed
the Blue mountains, and arrived
at Walla Walla May 1, 1862: and
Prof. Horner declared in after
years that he thought in his boyish
fancy the flag floating over Fort
Walla Walla was, as he said, 'the
most beautiful creation of man
that I had ever beheld up to that
time.'
'Ten days after the arrival of
the family at Walla Walla, the
father of J. B. Horner died.- of
quick consumption, and the U. S.
soldiers took charge of the body
and burled it in the military ceme
tery there. Ten days later, his
little sister, Theresa, died of the
measles, and was buried beside
the father.
'The father's name was Frank
Swadlenaek, from - the same Aus
trian district as his mother;
lowly man of high character. The
mother and 5-year-old boy were
thus alone, among strangers. But
the soldiers at the fort, mostly
from California, were sympathetic
and kind; and they soon had the
widow and half orphan installed
in quarters in the Robinson thea
ter. Walla Walla, which had been
deserted because of a shooting
affray between the soldiers and
Southern sympathizers.
"Young Horner's first lob in
Walla Walla was plugging bullet
holes in the walls of the theater
to keep out the early spring
breeze. The mother did laundry
work, and the boy carried it to
and from customers. They made
a comfortable living; so the boy
was soon sent to Rev. John Flinn's
private school at the Methodist
church the FHnn s heroic char
acters in Oregon pioneer Method
Ism. There the boy learned to
read and spell, and to sing.
"The language of the family in
conversation and devotional ex
ercise had been in the Moravian
tongue and the boy knew no
more than 50 English words up
to that time.
"United Brethren ministers held
a great revival In pioneer Walla
Walla, and E. R. Horner, carpen
ter, high class mechanic and
man of character, who had as
sisted the family over the way
from Nevada to Walla, was or
dained to preach; became a circuit
rider, organized churches in the
new settlements.
"Some time later, Rev. John
Fllnn, who had officiated at the
funeral services for the' father
and sister, was called to perform
the marriage ceremony of Rev.
Horner and the widowed mother.
Thus, as he grew up. the future
historian was called 'the Horner
boy and later, at Union, Ore
gon, he was adopted and legally
registered as John B. Horner. This
was In 1874. The Homers home-
steaded the site of the 'old fort
in the Grand Rondo valley, at the
foot of ML Emily.- - :
"After the primary grades in
Mrs. Fllnn's school, the -boy at
tended at Walla Walla classes of
Mrs. Miner. Mrs. Totim, Mr.
Cross. Charles Moore, Rev. and
Mrs. P. B. Chamberlain, and two
of the women who were the first
teachers in Whitman seminary,
which became Whitman univer
sity. . v
"A mere stripling he drove on
of the ox teams of Rev. Horner in
hauling lumber for Whitman sem
inary from the, Perkins sawmill
on Mill creek a dozen miles above
Walla Walla, and In the Grand
Ronde valley he worked la vaca
tion times as a farm hand for

CHAPTER 8
Douglas was late in arriving
at the hacienda. Kicking off his
spurs outside tne aoor, ne ran
up the stairs, out at tne oroaa
balcony surrounding the patio he
stopped short and his eyes widened
inamazed surprise. There, on the
top landing, stood Lola and All
son, in evening dress.
A breath-taking contrast those
two made. Lola's dark skin glow
ed with a living sheen of Its own.
while the other was a miracle of
gleaming white in the silken gown
she wore. More blonde than ever
Alison N e a 1 e seemed, the sun
burnishing every strand of hair,
enmeshing its rays ia a thousand
sparks of fire. ' :
Caught up by the thrill of pleas
ure that radiant picture brought
him, Douglas stood looking up at
them in open admiration. "But
you are lice two marvetous
images," he said at last, "one or
velvet, the other of white gold."
In delight Lola clapped her
hands. "See, Alison, Spain has
taught him to make phrases like a
caballero, and when he left he
was too proud even to look at
girls."
Alison's eyes were faintly smil
ing. "Then he has completely
changed. "The very first time I
saw him he threw both arms
around me." She held out her
hand. "Capturing any more raid
ers, Mr. Douglas?"
Douglas laughed. "No." he an
swered easily. "Only once in a
lifetime do raiders turn out to
be lovely senoritas."
But Lola was pulling at his
arm. "Ton have no time to talk,
lazy one," she warned. "T h
padre and his nephew are already
here. I give yon ten minutes."
Ten minutes were enough for
Douglas to change from his alkali
covered riding clothes and hurry
down Into the patio.
Father Bodine was first to greet
him the well beloved priest from
the border mission.
"You have become a man," the
priest was saying. "The boy I
bade farewell to is no longer here.

tor "Good Little
"Red Earth"
By .Torn Gill
It is hard to realize the world does
not stand still not even here in
the valley. But It is good to have
you back. Jack, to take your place
here. We will have many talks
good talks."
From across the room a pleas
ant voice Interrupted. "And when
my dear uncle bores you too much
with his mission, come and talk
to me."
Douglas turned. Before him
stood the padre's nephew, Paul
Bodine, a man much shorter than
Douglas, with well modeled
mouth that moved readily In a
smile, and a tiny pointed beard.
A meticulous person Douglas re
membered that years before men
spoke of him as an artist of more
than usual promise, spending most
of his time In France, steadily
adding to his reputation until
now, returning to his native land,
he had built a great castle just on
the edge of the foothills.
With new interest Douglas
looked into the other's smiling
face, conscious of the magnetism
the man possessed and of the wide
set, intelligent eyes.
"I will show you my . paintings
and my prize horse, Coronado."
Lola laughed. "Which is best,
Paul?"
"It Is a depressing fact that
most people prefer the horse."
Lola turned to Douglas. "Yon
who love horses, Juan, you must
see Coronado. He is lovely!"
But the old priest was frown
ing. "He is a man-killer, that
horse. He threw and trampled
his last owner."
"And thereby showed rare
Judgement." Paul Bodine bowed
over the hand of Dona Inea.
Together the little group went
in to dinner; and in the candle
light Douglas found himself seated
between his aunt and Alison Neale.
Opposite, beyond the banked flow
ers, Lola sat listening with half
closed eyes to something Paul Bo
dine was telling her something
that must have been amusing, for
she smiled, and once the blood
rose to her cheeks.
Spot!
Boy sT
From the end of the table the
padre spoke. "And what of Spain,
my son?"
Douglas told him of the great
cattle ranches of northern Spain
while Paul Bodine listened close
ly 'to the tale of how Spanish
horse breeders were producing
pure-bred stock finer than .any in
world.
"The revolution put an end to
that," Douglas ended. "It meant
the death of the old order. I
sometimes think the old order is
doomed everywhere even here."
Proudly the eyes of his aunt
rose to the ancestral portraits.
"When that time comes, when all
that these, my fathers, stood for
is swept away, I shall be glad to
go. But while I live, I fight for
those times."
The priest nodded. "And yet
Jack is right. There is change in
the very air. Even here in this
valley that I sometimes think is
nearest to paradise on earth
even here too life is changing.
There are forces of eviL"
"The raiders?" his nephew
asked.
The old priest played with a
few crumbs before him. "Yes,
that damnable band men call the
raiders."
The word, recurring like a
malevolent theme wherever men
met, caused Douglas to lean for
ward. "Tell me about them. Pa
dre. In the few hours I am back
I have heard of them mora than
once. What is their purpose?"

situation would be nearly as bad
as it la, if the home loan
granary program had not been
in force. This is just a weevil

That will be settled by fu
ture debate, bat at present it :
is evident the government must
take steps to promote costly
storage of grain in the larger
well equipped elevators in
towns. Farm storage may be
abandoned or at least more
closely regulated.
How much wheat and corn has
thus been ruined has not been
estimated by anyone In authority
here yet. It can be assumed the
farmer is paying most of the
losses as he is legally responsible
for the condition of stored prod
ucts. Trust not these tall tales from
Berlin about the new Rumanian
trade agreement which is going
to give Hitler huge oil supplies.
Rumania is able to give only
what the British and French oil
concerns there are not using, and
even so Germany cannot get de

adequate. The peacetime route
out through the Mediterranean is
blocked at the North Sea. Barges

A smarter inside play baa
not been pulled here lately. Op
position to the Hull program is
centered among western con
- gressmen, particularly the dairy
and cattle wings of the old
house and senate farm bloc.
Farm lobbying organisation
which baa most influence nbon
congress . is the farm bureau,
headed by Edward O'Neal, close
friend of Wallace.
Mr. Hull pressed Mr. Wallace's
button: Mr. Wallace pressed Mr.
O'Neal's and presto chango, out
came a farm lobby approval of the
Hull program which caught con
gress .in the solar plexus.
Mr. Roosevelt will not make his
appointment to the supreme court
for the Butler vacancr until f ha
j senate is in session next month.
ne cannot auora to make a re
cess, appointment and take n
chance on a -judge sitting on the
bench before senate confirmation.

POLICE CRITICIZED
To the Editor: '
It is getting so that every time
I come to the capital city, I 'get
arrested. I confess to you that
this gets a little tiresome.
Many outside travelers may be
picked up and be abused without
any provocation whatever. Last
evening I was stopped by an offi
cer and another gentleman in an
other car from Coos Bay was
stopped at the same time, taken
out of the line of traffic, of which
there w e r e many, all traveling
faster, and told we were exceed
ing the speed limit. I had with
me three competent people and
we would all take oath that we
were not exceeding twenty-five
miles per hour.
In sueh circumstances one has
no recourse and is told not to
argue, and merely has to pay. I
know several who resent this
treatment and I, personally, con
sider it entirely despicable for a
great city.
I keep the law and believe in
the law and its enforcement and
have traveled some 400,000 miles
without any trouble, but I do not
consider the action of some of
your officers conducive to it. I
do hope you will do or say some
thing about it.
