Jackson Day Dinners and Neutrality
"Above all else, we are going to elect someone president
who la ftrtag- to keep os out of war." Evan Reames in Jackson
day addreaa at Portland.
Diamondback terrapin soup, seafood a la Newburg and
heart of filet mignon were on the menu for the $100-a-plate
Jackson day dinner in Washington. What's this? You're not
interested? Well, you wanted to know the facts about the un
official democratic campaign kickoff, and those are about the
only facts available at the moment, the financial report being
incomplete so we are unable to announce whether the re
ceipts were over or under the $700,000 goal which was the
real purpose of dining.
President Roosevelt spoke at the Washington dinner and
was expected rhetorically speaking to announce his plans
for the future, but he got around that Ijy inviting some repub
licans and then proceeding, as though they had not declined,
to deliver a chatty after-dinner talk devoted to wisecracks
and generalities.
Fortunately right here in Oregon, though the Jackson
day speaker followed in general the pattern of Roosevelt
praise that marked the occasion in other centers, he did make
one remark into which the listener might sink his teeth even
though the dinner itself was only an unsubstantial $25 af
fair. ,
Stifling their unassuaged hunger as best they could, the
Oregon democrats applauded sometime Senator Evan
Reames' declaration that the president inaugurated in 1941
would be someone who would "keep us out of war." Dislike
for stating the obvious prevents us from pointing out once
more the parallel to the Wilson campaign of 1916 neverthe
less Mr. Reames' remark squarely poses the question wheth
er the description may by any chance fit the incumbent.
For instance, there was that amazing message on the
"state of the union" in which every remark somehow had
reference to wars in Europe. Special note should have been
taken of the dark picture the president painted of a future
world largely ruled by dictators in other words, the world-to-be
in case German and Russian aggressors should triumph.
Though nothing in a muddy and muddled world situation
is less clear than this very item of subtle moves and propa
ganda to involve the United States, it is rather significant
that the same note has been struck by Lord Lothian, the Brit
ish ambassador, and Lord Beaverbrook, proprietor of the
largest newspaper chain in the British Empire, who have be
rated the air waves with arguments purporting to show that
a German victory would result in control of the seas by a pow
er unfriendly to our national interests, and in the second
maintaining that Britain had a moral justification for not
paying her World war debts because American materials and
supplies were accepted in lieu of men in the first part of the
conflict.
On the other hand Britain has been more than cool to
ward the efforts of the United States to protect the same in
terests of which Lord Lothian spoke, when it has been a mat
ter of inspecting American mail sacks bound for foreign na
tions, of forcing American ships to stand by for naval in
spection at the pleasure of the admiralty or of waging war
inside the 300-mile neutrality zone. One cannot be sure whe
ther to believe the bulldog's wagging tail or his barking
throat. The really interesting point about it all is that Roose
velt And the British notables are singing approximately the
same tune. -
As to where it might lead if Americans danced to that
music, speculation must be based upon events. As this war is
going now, England and France have no need of land man
power. All that's required is a picket line on the border, where
soldiers' chief peril is that of death from lack of sufficient
exercise. But the American navy would come in handy and so
would American dollars. The dollar aid would be easiest to
get or to give. And there may be some sound arguments for
giving it but, we needed to be reminded, that would mean fol
lowing the trail that led us into the last war. The fact that no
doughboys probably would be asked to flounder in mud, would
make it all the more difficult to avoid turning aside, once we
started on that road.
To sum it up, what Americans want is certainty, not pro
bability, of staying out of Europe's war. And taking Evan
Reames at his word, we want
that certainty. Such leadership is not to be found in an unpre
dictable idealist but rather in a man like -Andrew Jackson,
who clinched a lasting peace with Great Britain just 125
years ago.
Auditing Josephine County Cemetery
If imitation is the sincerest flattery, Marion county
should feel flattered : for now Josephine county is in the
throes of investigation and recrimination over an audit of
county affairs apparently, as in the Marion county case, a
belated audit covering a considerable period of years and dis
closing alleged "irregularities" and improper practices. The
auditor one Alfred Mundt, obviously not the Alfred Mundt
who figured indirectly in affairs connected with an audit here
has been kept busy for seven months and appears to have
stirred up "a peck of dirt." Right there the coincidence ends,
for the county court includes at present at least two men, and
apparently the third, who hav served only one year ; the au
dit covers principally events prior to their administration.
Developments have not ceased developing and it is not
yet possible to evaluate intelligently all that has been dis
closed. However, one department in which gross irregularities
were charged was that of the county cemetery where, it
seems, the sexton had neglected for a long period to turn over
to the county any funds received for the sale of lots. The sex
ton has been relieved pf his post and has made what he claims
is a complete turnover. What makejrit appropriate to discuss
this particular department, is the fact that the sexton has
made a lengthy statement so that "both sides are in."
It seems, according to this statement, that the sexton
was originally hired by a woman who had charge of the cem
etery, but who resigned and moved out of the county in 1933,
at which time the responsibility was turned over to the sex
ton. He asserts that he had no orders at any time from the
county court, except that the judge instructed him to "keep
his own time" and make out his own vouchers. Thus, unless
$here was a surplus owing the county, he made no turnovers
to the treasurer and no reports to the county court. At times
the cemetery income didn't equal the amount due the sexton
for work, and so for some time afterward, while he was col
lecting his back pay out of the sale of lots, there would be no
turnovers. He kept no record of graves sold,
i The auditor checked the records of the two undertakers
and thus, according to the sexton's statement, reached the
conclusion that the latter owed the county $325 over and
above the amount he turned over when he left the job. The
sexton says the audit is wrong, and contends the only way to
check up is "on the ground' by counting the graves sold. His
statement says, near the end :
.There is only an aero of ground to chock as I either produce
; a vacant lot er the money tor that lot, that la very simple to a sex-
' ton bat Mr. ( Coram l&eioner) McEUlgott aald that was too much
work. . . The sexton has not been audited. I kept so books. . . .
And there you have It. The county court turned the cem
etery over to a man who wasn't business man enough to keep
books even for his own protection and practically forgot all
about him for six years. Supposing there Is a shortage who
is to blame? Not the sexton; not even the county court but, in
the last analysis, the people, the taxpayers, the voters of Jo
sephine county. They are the ones who ha ye been neglecting
their business. " '

By R. J. HENDRICKS
The historic Luelling 1-10-40
family of our state was
upstanding and useful, too,
but did not found Salem, Oregon:
W S
(Continuing from yesterday: )
The same biographical sketch (In
the Lewis Illustrated History)
says that, before starting from
Iowa on his way to Oregon with
the traveling nursery, Henderson
Luelling made "an agreement
with John Fisher, and William
Meek was also Informed of the
plan, of which Mr. Luelling was
the originator," and that "owing
to the company having been de
tained a little In getting off, Mr.
Meek, who started in time, arrived
in Oregon a short time fefore the
rest, and, . . . for fear that some
thing might occur to defeat the
enterprise undertaken by Mr. Lu
elling and Mr. Fisher, he at the
last moment planted a few small
grafts In a box, such as is often
carried in the hind end of the wa
gon bed for a feed box. This he
attached firmly to the wagon and
in this manner succeeded in sav
ing about 20 trees, which he
planted on a claim in the forks of
the Santiam. known as the Grimes
place, where they remained dur
ing the summer of 1848. These
were the first cultivated fruit
trees that reached the Pacific
coast.
"There were some seedling ap
ple trees at the Catholic mission,
on French prairie (present St.
Paul), at Fort Vancouver, and
possibly at other points in Ore
gon; and also at some of the mis
sions in California they had both
apple and pear trees (seedlings)
which bore fruit of fair quality.
"k
"It was in the summer of 1848
that a partnership was entered in
to by Hender-wn Luelling and Wil
liam Meek, with a view to carry
ing on a general business, includ
ing nursery and milling.
"On the discovery of gold in
California becoming known in
Oregon, it was arranged by the
firm that Meek should take a wa
gon and four yoke of cattle and
go to the mines and Mr. Luelling
was to accompany him. Arrange
ments were hurriedly made, and
on the 9th day of September they
started, and arrived at Lassen's
ranch, in the Sacramento valley,
October 28, 1848. They worked in
the mines at various points from
Feather river to the Toulumne
until the following May, when
they sold out their team and other
effects and returned home by sail
ing vessel from San Francisco, ar
riving in July, 1849."
V
In that sketch the statement is
made that Henderson Luelling
"received in San Francisco at one
time $5 for a single pear," and
that "in 1854 he removed to Cali
fornia, where he made his home,
principally, until the time of his
death, December 29, 1879."
The October number of the
Iowa Journal of History and Poll
tics, published by the Historical
Society of that state, contained a
long article entitjed "The Lewel

the paragraphs of that article fol

"Among the pioneers who gath

Chapter 20
"You are wondering," again he
heard the low, earnest voice, "you
are wondering whether or not to
believe me. But what can you
gain by not believing me? If I had
been in league with the raiders,
you would never have left Cobre.
It was for that I had my vaqueros
surround you, to show you how
completely you were in my hands.
Look behind you. They are within
a few feet of us. If I am your en
emy, what prevents me from rais
ing my hand? Don't you see I am
showing you in the only way pos
sible that you can trust me abso
lutely?" There was a deliberate, inesca
pable logic in the girl's words that
made Douglas realize he was see
ing a side of her whose existence
he had never suspected, and ab
ruptly he asked, "Why do you tell
me all this?"
"For one reason only I need
you. Two years ago I found my
father shot to death on the desert
killed by the raiders. Since that
day I have lived that I might see
the men who murdered him made
to answer. By myself I could do
little, but with someone to take
the leadership I could be of help.
In more ways than one I can help.
I know what ranchers are to be
trusted, and I have ten vaqueros
of my own who will ride wherever
I lead them. That's why it was
more bitter than death itself to
think you had come back and
could not measure up to what lay
ahead of you. I didn't know where
to turn I was so near despair.
But today, when I saw your hand
reach out for Paxton's throat, I
knew beyond all doubt you were
the man that I and all the border
have been waiting for."
The voice, with its rising thrill
of exultation ceased, but her stea
dy eyes were still upon his face,
and Douglas felt the overwhelm
ing earnestness that lay behind
her words. In spite of every doubt,
he found himself wanting more
than all else to have this slim,
gray-eyed girl riding as a friend
and confidante beside him, but
again, vivid and sinister, the
memory of that night in the mo-

rada came back to him, and the
sound of this same girl's voice
outside.
"You build up an interesting
theory," Douglas answered after
a time. "Yet I might have very
special reasons for doubting. I
might even want to know why one
who hated the raiders so bitterly
should Tide to the morada on the
very night of Frank Baker's mur
der." In startled amazement the girl
looked up. "How did you did
Paul Bodine tell you that?"
"What were you doing there?"
"I rode there to learn what had
happened to a peon who had been
my father's servant and friend.
After 1 left your hacienda that
night my vaqueros told me he had
been taken by raiders near the
morada."
"Did you ride there alone?"
"Paul Bodine was with me. He
warned me it was dangerous to
approach the morada on a meet
ing night, then he offered to ride
up the canyon with me, but he
made me promise I would never
tell we had gone there."
"Why?"
"He wanted no one to suspect
we were spying on them. That was
why I lied to you the night you
asked me."
"And when you reached the
morada?"
"When we go there the meeting
was over and the place in dark
ness." "What happened to the peon?"
"I never saw him again. Paul
said he probably left the coun
try." "Did that peon have a long
scar on his cheek?"
"Yes."
"I thought so. The chances are
he was a member of the Brother
hood himself. I was Inside the
morada with him when you asd
Bodine came. Your voice made
him tremble with fright he was
evidently in terror you would dis
cover him there and learn he be
longed to the Brotherhood. Your
man probably knew too much. I
doubt that you will ever see him
again."
"You think the Brotherhood
killed him."
"Quien sabe?"
Tirelessly the horses held their
unceasing pace across the dry
sands while the man brooded this
new knowledge. If the peon had
been really a member of the Bro
therhood, that would explain his
fright when he heard Alison's
voice outside the morada, and cer
tainly if she had been an enemy
he himself would not now be rid
ing in safety across the desert.
She alone knew him for what be
was. Yes, she was right. He need
ed her as much as she needed him.
Once more Douglas' eyes fell full
on the face of the girl, to find
there only that same unswerving,
level gaze, and suddenly, almost
without realizing, he made his de
cision. Reaching across to her,
his hand closed on hers.
"From now on, Alison, we are
allies." Douglas felt the small
hand tremble, then quickly he
added, "But before we can run
down the raiders we must smash
the Brotherhood of that I am
certain, for the eyes and ears of
the raiders ; is the Brotherhood.
From today on it is open warfare
between the Brotherhood and
me." Somberly his face rose to the
foothills. "There is a reason for
that my dam was blown un
morning, and at least two of the
men who did it were connected
with the Brotherhood. What their
motive was, aside from terrorism.
I can't say. It may be they learned
that Bodine wanted that reser
voir and were afraid I would use
it to enlist the copper interests
against them. Yon will understand
now why I wanted to strangle
Paxton when I found him in Co
bre. But the blowing op of that
dam did something else to me it
made me see that the time for hes
itation and delay is past.
Impulsively her hand reached
oat for his. "And I you will let
me help?"
"I need you perhaps more
than you realize. How safe are
your own Taqneros?"
"I can swear to every one of
them: For over a year I have been
1
choosing men for Just two things
courage and loyalty. I can
promise you ten at least that you
will not have to doubt. I bring
you also myself. Jack. Jack " a
note of new elation rang in her
voice, 'f rom now on we work to
gether. I will help you gather the
ranchers we can put new heart
into them. Oh, it's too good to be
lieve!" He saw her eyes bright with
hope, saw the blood rising to her
cheeks, and his own heart beat
faster at this new bond between
them but he only said, "There is
one thing I want more than all
else to find their hiding place.
We are helpless until we learn
that."
"It might be possible to bring
them to us."
"How?"
"Alison, this morning I watched
my own dam blown into the air
while I stood there a helpless pris
oner." His low voice shook with
anger. "Just one thought came to
me then tonight I would blow
their morada higher than they
blew that dam." He waited until
his anger had passed, then quietly
ended, "That at least might bring
quick action."
Alison did not answer. In spite
of her courage the thought of de
stroying this meeting-place of the
Brotherhood aroused an instinct
ive reaction of fear. Yet if Dong
las was right if there was a con
nection between the Brotherhood
and the raiders it would call
forth some vengeance.
A few minutes later they
reached the crossroads. Douglas
looked into the sunlit face of the

WASHINGTON. January
ly movement has been started In
fonr or fiT southern states to
handnlck uninstructed delegates
to the next democratic national
convention without t primary or
even a state convention.
stata laws apparently permit
the state central committees of
democracy in Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi. Georgia and Arkansas,
under some circumstances, to
choose the delegates for nominat
ing a candidate for the president.
without consultation witn ine voi
ers and this Is what is proposed
to be done.
The red hot Issue Is due to
come to the surface Friday In
Florida when the state central
committee meets, unless cer
tain party leaders who are rush
ing for the water buckets here
douse the fire in the meantime.
It is said Florida's staunch new
deal Senator Pepper Is on his
way home with the last Wash
ington word on the subject, but
, it is not known whether he car
ries a bucket or a torch.
A carefully chosen uninstruct
ed delegation would naturally
serve the canse of the new dealers
best at this time because they have
no announced candidate. This is
especially true in the south where
a southerner, Mr. Garner, the rice
president, is an open, avowed can
didate. Back in 1932 It was the new
dealers who blocked a similar
movement to choose delegates sur
i eptitlously. James A. Farley, the
present national chairman, then
issued a statement denouncing
such efforts in strongest terms.
It is understood here he will re
issue the same statement again if
the Florida meeting starts that
kind of a conflagration.
Louisiana (under Huey Long)
is the only state which came to
that convention with a crew cho
sen from the top Instead of the
bottom of the electorate. The dele
gation was finally seated on the
plea that the state had suffered
from flood, but four years earlier
the Houston convention kicked
out a Louisiana delegation which
had been chosen the same way,
without a flood.
This time the movement Is
reported to be very strong
among some of Mr. Roosevelt's
friends in Georgia and Ala
bama, as well as Florida, al
though the state committees
have not yet even been, notified
that a national convention will
be held. The call will not be
Issued by national headquarters
until February 5.
Southern congressmen here are
much aroused, believing it will
give the party a bad start. Says
one: "If we are going to select
delegates in blank, why not nom
inate the candidate in blank? We
could elect John Doe."
Mr. Roosevelt's congressional
leaders think they have noted a
quiet nod from the White House
for curtailment of appropriations
for the national labor relations
board. The president avoided the
subject in his message on the state
of the union and cut the board
only an Infinitesimal $9,600
(leaving it $3, 180,000) in his bud
get. But to officials.and legislative
friends he has been complaining
sharply that the board has been
doing a lot more things than the
law allowed, and beyond what he
specifically told it to do in his
official statement when he signed
the act. At that time he an
nounced it "would not act as me
diator, or conciliator in labor dis-
glrl. "No one can tell what the
end will be," he said slowly.
"Let's Just remember that from
now on we ride side by side."
And she answered, "I will ride
with you to the end whatever
that end may be."

Letters from Statesman Readers
FOR MILK CONTROL
To the Editor: During the last
session of the Oregon state legisla
ture we heard a lot of orator
over milk control. We were toll
that It was all wrong because n
new dairy farms were allowed t( .
ship milk to milk plants and that
if milk control was abolished i
farmer could then ship to the bi
city markets. Time was wasted
over several other points concern
ing the status of milk control.
On September 1, 1939, the mill
board withdrew from the Sales
market. Four months have passed
and no new dairies have begun ti
f hip milk to Salem. It is said thai
several dairies now on the Sales
market are about to quit and shil
to cohdenseries where they cai
now get as much. for their milk
and not have to meet the extrs
expense of city inspection.
The above illustrates very close
ly the importance of milk control
to the producer. He immediately.
gets less , for his milk and that is
serious at a time like this with all
of his costs of production rising.
All consumers have not benefitted
as the price to them has not been
lowered by some of the distribu
tors. The distributors that still
charge 11c a quart have cut down
on the fat content of that milk. r-
Producers, would welcome milk
board regulations back on the Sa
lem market, but one distributor
has a case against the milk board
in court and although the case
was heard August 11, 1939, there
has not yet been a decision. The
milk board is powerless to enforce
the law as long as this case is held
up and the farmers get a poor
price for milk.
Milk control has been held con
stitutional by the highest courts of
the land but peculiarly here on the
Salem market It has not operated
for the benefit of all dairymen.
