"His Voice Rose to a Roar" Strictly in accordance with an old American custom, the Boise town team journeyed one summer Sunday in 1905 the short distance to Nampa to play ball. In keeping with the customary bitter rivalry between neighboring towns, an al tercation arose; one unusual only in the fact that the Boise shortstop, one Jim Quarles, colored, appears to have gone es pecially well prepared and when the police intervened in the quarrel, he shot and wounded one of them. Quarles was dis armed and placed in the Nampa- jail. That night a mob gath ered, threatening to lynch the negro. Word of this situation reached a prominent Boise lawyer named William E. Borah. With the cooperation of Governor Steunenberg, for wnose alleged slaying Borah was later un successfully to prosecute Bill Haywood in one of the famous early "labor martyr" cases, the young attorney arranged for an engine and two passenger coaches to make the trip to Nampa. Borah was the only passenger. On the way, he pulled down all the window blinds in both coaches. Disembarking near the mob-surrounded jail, the lawyer moved to a point where his booming voice could be heard and commanded the crowd to disperse. The railway coaches, he announced, were toaded with troops from Fort Boise. The mob melted. " - That incident in several of its aspects is rather typical of the career of the "Lion of Idaho" who might very well have reflected his fame upon Oregon instead, except that on his arrival in Boise in 1891 from the middle west, he had only $16.69 left and was loath further to diminish his capital. In the first place, in that Nampa crisis Borah took the situation promptly in hand though he was but a private citizen; he played a lone hand ; he called upon his remarkable vocal tal ents for success; and he was not above employing strategy which bordered on deception in what he deemed to be a good cause. When Borah entered the United States senate in 1907 a colleague presently wrote to a friend that he had the new member ticketed ; he was the attorney for seven different cor porations. But that senator was in error and heads the lengthy procession of baffled individuals who have tried to pin a label on the Idahoan. Down through the years he has consistently refused to bolt the republican party and just as consistently he has pursued his independent way regardless of traditional or current party policy. Rapidly he developed into the "best friend and severest critic" of republican presidents from Taft to Hoover, dining with them more often and criticizing them more often than any other senator. And when the democrats were in power from 1912 to 1920, it was said that Borah more often than Wilson headed up democratic policy. He was scarcely noted for consistency. After being labeled a "traitor" for support ing the Gore resolution warning Americans not to travel on belligerents' armed ships, he voted for the declaration of war though with unwonted silence, saying merely "I do not find it possible to vote against the resolution." Then it was he rath er than the subdued Norris who fought against the espionage bill and other wartime encroachments upon the civil liber ties. No one needs to be reminded that after the war he op posed the League of Nations. In general he battled against foreign entnglements, for the constitution, against monopoly which he described as "ten thousand times worse than black slavery," dor silver, for prohibition ; in international affairs, for disarmament, revision of the Versailles treaty and settle ment of reparations. Though he was consistent in his support of policies that were mutually inconsistent, the most consist ent thing about him was his popularity in Idaho, where a pro gressive party leader in 1928 said : "I am for Borah on the progressive ticket, or on the republican ticket, or on a Chi nese laundry ticket." It was the man and not his policies that appealed; and now that he is gone, it is the man and not his policies that will be remembered. Remembered as he stood on the floor of the senate, the gallery inevitablv Dacked if word had gone out in advance that he would speak ; remem bered for his ability to hold an audience spellbound for an hour with quiet, calm discussion ; remembered for his climax es in which, as a newspaper writer once described it : "His voice rose to a roar. He shook hia fist figuratively at those whom he denounced for cowardly inaction. His hair fell down oyer hie eyes." - Moscow in Reverse It is strange, in this rebirth of the Russian imperial idea, that the masters of the Kremlin should have forgotten so soon the most boldly written chapter in the history of their peo ple, a chaDter in which the sombre echoes of madness on a winter's day are mingled with the vibrant peans of victory. Only a hundred and twenty-eight years separate the retreat from Moscow and the victory of Suomassalmi ; yet in this relatively brief span the Russians have had time to break the alliance with nature which they, held then, and to seek, after the fashion of Napoleon, victory in the very faces of the gods. Their failure, as Napoleon's before them, needs now no elab oration. Who, indeed, having heard Tschaikowski's 1812 music, can fail to liken the present position of the Finns to the posi tion of the Russians in the winter which followed the breach of the Treaty of Tilsit? The Russians, to be sure, were no less than now a very numerous Deonle: vet their armip wro small, as are those of the Finns, and the force of their aggres sor was the greatest then seen in Europe. But the Russia of 1812, even as the Finland of 1940, was firmly united in a na tional cause, tne end of which was to hold off the yoke of an aggressor at any cost, and to maintain the integrity of the es- vHousxieu national government. Napoleon and his corps advanced, took Smolensk, fought savagely and to good effect at Borodino, and at last entered Moscow only to find the streets deserted, the populace fled and toe town already on fire. For a desolate six weeks in the lengthening fall Napoleon maintained himself in the Krem lin, and then, faced with the prospect of winter, undertook tn retreat back to Poland and Saxonv. He beran hi. stantly menaced by fast-riding Cossacks, and by the hatred of the inhabitants of the regions through which he passed. wuu pxeierreu to ourn uieir nouses, Darns and crops rather than feed the retiring invader. Finally, in the most livid chap ter of all, came the end when winter enveloped the mobs stag gering back to Germany where once had marched the grande armies in all its splendor. Guizot, in his History of France re counted many years ago the tale told by a Russian officer: : The road which we followed was covered with prisoners who required no watching. . . Several stm dragged themselves mechanically along the road, with their feet naked and half froz en; some had lost the power of speech, others had fallen into a kind of savage stnpidlty, and wished, in spite of ns, to roast dead bodies in order to eat them. . . The houses and farms which the wretches had set on fire were surrounded with dead bodies for .those who went near had not the power to escape the name which reached them; and soon others were seen, with a convul sive laugh, rushing voluntarily Into the midst of the burninr so that they were consumed also. Ingersoll in his famous lecture on Napoleon referred to his retreat from Moscow: " . "When the Infantry of the Ice and snow smote hli legions and death rode the icy winds of winter." Schubert in the poignant Two Grenadiers," presented uv music, the tragedy of that retreat. So, on the icy roads leading out of Russia, died the - French and their allies a century and more ago. Now, on the snow-covered roads to SaHa, Petsamo, Hel sinki, lie the Russians. Now as in 1812Winter in the North romains the most powerful ally or foe. Bits for Breakfast By R. J. HENDRICKS Famous Scott family 1-21-40 coming to Oregon in a covered wagon train of 5S went first to historic Bel pass!: (Concluding from yesterday: ) Quoting from page 325, volume 3, History of the Oregon Country, by Harvey W. Scott: "Compiler's Note: The printer's proofs of the foiegoing narrative were read by Mr. William J. Cud dy, many years proof reader of The Oregon ian and of the daily writings of Harvey W. Scott; al so editor of The Weekly Oregon ian. Mr. Cuddy appended the fol lowing note, under date of April 20. 1922: m S "I disagree with the assertion in the last date of the narrative, that it was 'a grievous mistake' for John Tucker Scott to move his family to Oregon as he did. "He was obeying the call of the star of empire. "a S "He was greater than a Colum bus, who would simply shift i rudder where Jc hn Tucker Scott would drive forward. "That Journey made the char acter of John Tucker Scott's cbil dren. Harvey W. Scott would have grown into prominence in Illinois of course; but not, as in Oregon to become the foremost man of his time therein. a S "His was vigor and force by right of blood, mellowed by tenderness and gentleness from the mother he lost so early, attri butes which in later years he at times was disposed to try to con ceal.

John Scott Tucker was a fourth, and, some day, state and nation will honor him for the de scendants he pave to both. s s s "Neil Johnson's name should be placed hitrh on the state's roll for this one act." (Tho appreciative reader will agree that the above lines of William J. Cuddy are good writ ing, for a proofreader, an editor of a weekly newspaper made up from a daily one, or for any one else, any time, any where. And true to the facts.) S S "History of the Willamette Valley," by R. C. Clark, says Rev. Neill Johnson named Belpassl from "a town in Italy, Belpasso." That may or may not be true. and this columnist leans to the idea that some old timer was, in selecting the name, merely at tempting to express the idea that it was a beautiful pass, or way. To an immigrant off the dreary plains it suiely was a beautiful way. Travel worn men and women who had come over the Old Ore gon Trail in the '40s and '50s. with their half starved cattle, felt like they had come to a part of heaven when they arrived in the Willamette valley beautiful in so many ways, and rich in the na tural advantages that make for abundance, with grass up to their bodies for their live stock. And, especially, the ones who came af ter the '4 0s, who received wel comes from the earlier immi grants welcomes with intimate understandings of their needs that made them realize that they had arrived in a land of sympa thetic, helpful neighbors, ready and anxious to share to the limit for their comfort and their soon to follow independence in for tunes. S John L. (Lawrence) Johnson, one of the sons of Rev. Neill John Eon who took the oxen and sup plies to meet the wayworn Scott family pilgrims east of the Cas cades, was for many years a prominent and useful citizen of Wood burn and the Woodburn neighborhood. He had lived in the Grand Ronde valley, eastern Oregon, In Coos county, Oregon, and In Ida ho, and came back to Marion county to spend his declining years. His wife had been Miss Viletta Kenady. of the Belpassl and Woodburn section. S Under Captain Goff, father-in-law of United States Senator James W. Nesmith, John L.

"Wri L ife? ill j News Behind Today's News BT PAUL MALION "Red Earth" By Tom Gil CHAPTER 325 Record had been right. Neither Douglas nor his vaquero had dreamed the raiders would take the field in broad daylight such a thing had never happened and for that reason alone Douglas realized his men on top of the mesa might be taken utterly by surprise. Or even worse, if his vaqueros should see this band below them, they might fear for Douglas' own safety and ride down to give battle a hopeless course against disastrous odds. There was no alternative whatever the chances against him, he must outride that throng of horsemen to .Miracle Mesa, and eager to make the most of every second, he gave Coronado his head. Once, tandlng in the. stirrups. he looked back and a gasp of surprise burst from his Hps. There, In tbe very center of that band of nursuing horsemen was one wno rode a wnite norse al most as tall as Coronado, and the rider himself towered head and shoulders over the men about him. Douglai caught the yellow gleam of the rider's poncho. The Killer! Douglas was coming to grips with the enemy at last, and every nerve in his oody viuratea at the thought. They were traveling at converg ing angles now both moving to ward the white limestone cliff of the mesa. It was going to be close. In favor of the two horsemen was the one fact that the Brotherhood riders were loping easily, ap parently waiting for dusk before climbing up to the hacienda not yet had they distinguished the two figures that galloped between them and the setting sun. But that too was a short-lived ad vantage. Within a very few min utes after Douglas and Record had emerged upon the desert five horsemen separated from the band and at a wild gallop bore down upon them at an angle that would intercept the course Douglas had chosen. "They've seen us." Record wiped the alkali from his Up. clear across the country from the Missouri river to the Pacific ocean. Johnson drilled and marched nnder Governor (General) Stev ens, the first chief executive of Washington Territory, And he (Johnson) long received a pen sion for his military services. The matter in this series has attracted more than usual atten tion from the general public An interesting letter Is on the desk of the writer, containing an Inquiry that will be answered. So, soon, historic Belvassl will have additional space in this column. "They're sending out their fast est riders to cut us off. Jack we d better head back Into the hills. I know trails up there no Brotherhood rider ever saw." But without even looking back Douglas shook his head. "We've got to beat them to the mesa My vaqueros are up there without warning, if we can't go around those fire men we've got to go tnrough." The stride of their horses lengthened as belly to earth the two animals raced on, Douglas holding Coronado a length ahead, while Record's little pony bent herself doggedly to the task of keeping ap with that tall, fleet throughbred. Sagebrush and cac tus flashed by. the limestone cliffs of the mesa grew more dis tinct, and minnte by minute those two groups of galloping horse men were drawing closer. The giant leader and the main band of the Brotherhood had fallen well behind, content now to canter along and change their course just enough to prevent their quar ry from turning back to the foot hills. But those pursuing five were closing in. Even now Record could make out rifles, drawn and ready. In their hands; saw them shielding their eyes against the setting sun, and between tight lip he smiled. "That sun won't help their aim none," he grunted. Douglas nodded. It would be no small advantage to have their pursuers firing directly into the dazzling sunlight while he and Record, with the sun almost at their back, could watch those nearing figures with unhampered vision. The crack of a rifle crashed above the tbnnder of beating hoofs, and a bullet tossed up the dust ten yards to Douglas' left. They were coming within range. Dropping the reins across Coro- nado's neck, Douglas reached for his rifle. Heads low over their animals' necks, the pursuing horsemen rode less than two hundred yards behind. But the sun, touching the rim of the dessert, fell full in their eyes, rendering their aim uncertain, and seeing that their horses were rapidly gaining, they waited for a closer target just as Douglas, swinging In the sad dle, brought the rifle to his shoulder and fired three times. A cry of mortal pain, a hone that rose wildly and fell back wards, a rider sprawling in the sand, and the pursuit had nar rowed to four. Another shot. The foremost horse swerved as a bul let struck directly in its path, and in spite of its rider's efforts, turned and made off at a frantic gallop across the plain. Imper ceptibly the remaining three slackened as another shot whirred dangerously close, and Douglas returned his rifle to his scabbard In Instant response the raiders began to fire wildly, the shots goin wide, and holding his horse close to Record's, Douglas laid a straight course for the cliff. A quarter of a mile brought them to the foot of the mesa, and looking back, they saw the ad vance pursuers had reined in to wait for the main band. "were trapping ourselves up here." Record protested. "They'll hunt us down like rats. "They will if we let them reach the top." "That main band will soon be on its way up, but they can only come two at a time. Tour Job is to ride straight to the bunk house. Bring every vaquero back to the edge of the mesa. We'll meet them with a hail of lead that will make them think hell has broken loose." "But who's going to hold them until I bring the vaqueros?" (To be continued) WASHINGTON. Jan. 11 Mr. Hull's men are not bluffing. They are really coins to let the trade agreement with Japan expire without any promises, under standings, or "modus vlvendU." Furthermore, they will not raise a murmur of protest If the senate makes the blow double by passing something like the Pittman reso lution embarsroina essential war materials. Thia Is a peculiar same, but not a new one. Essentially it Is a diplomatic war of nerves, the name as practiced In Kurope before they took to anna not mm rough jet, and not likely to lead to the same conclusion but nevertheless determined. Therefore, you may expect our relations with Japan will get worse, verv much worse, before they get better. The confusing game has a very clear purpose and aim. Primarily our statesmen seem encouraged to it by the prospects of limiting Jananese agrression in China. As this goal now seems to be just beyond the pot of gold in the rain bow, they will take less. What their efforts mav work out to eventually, months hence, is an agreement by which Japan aban dons her currency tricks practiced against our trade, reopening of the Yangtse valley, and some hon est basis of understanding. Termination of the trade treaty due this coming Friday is net ex pected to have very far-reaching commercial repercussions. The state department is leaving the way open to clamp down restric tions but is likely to use this right only as a defensive weapon. The Editorial Comment From Other Paper Methodist Men's Series Finished Methodist Brotherhood groups brought to close a series of eight district meetings Friday at the Leslie church in Salem. Rev. J. E. Purdy, district superintend ent, spoke to nearly 70 men pres ent from the four Salem Metho dist churches on "Church Attend ance. Over 400 have attended meet ings of the series held at Silver- ton, Turner, Hillsboro. Independ ence, Sheridan, Wheeler and Al bany. Reorganization of the men's work in the recently united Meth odist church will take place In this district on either March 14 or 15, when Bishop James H. Straughn will conduct a district meeting at the First Methodist j church here. THE WILL TO KNOW Oregon City this week has bad a rare opportunity to hear two men who are not only experts in their respective fields but are, what is rather more unusual, dis passionate and unbiased students. The first and better known of the two is Dean Morse of the Uni versity of Oregon, who spoke on labor relations before the cham ber of commerce Tuesday, and the other is Dr. Ivan Lovell of Wil lamette university, who addressed the Business and Professional Women's club on the European scene. That they both drew large an dlences and succeeded In captur ing their bearers' attention from the moment they began to speak is, of course, a tribute to their ability as speakers and to their established reputations for lmpar tial judgment. But It is something more than that. It denotes a will to know on the part of their bearers Neither of them said anything that could not have been gleaned from textbooks, newspapers and peri odicals. While this may be said to reflect the tendency of Ameri cans to take their Information In capsule form, it is, nevertheless. real, and may well be excused on the plea that there is all too little time for the average man to make an extensive study of the variety of problems that beset the world today. In view of the response accord ed these two men, it Is to be hoped that the city may hear more frequent talks as stimulat ing and as provocative of thought as were those of Dean Morse and Dr. Lovell.
