But one's guess might be wrong. ; Os West advised succeeding Oregon governors to get a dog so they would have one friend left after four years of cap ital punishment. It may seem that Roosevelt is in urgent need of a dog. The truth is that he will never lack for personal friends and that the majority of his political friends won't de sert until he definitely steps down. ! But the Browder and Lewis tirades are typical of polit ical gratitude. The man in the street would say that Roosevelt had done rather handsomely in paying his political debts to the communists and to the CIO, though current revelations as to the size of those debts are somewhat startling. We knew the communists plunked for the president in '1936, but we didn't know they wrote the speeches. ' What robs the Browder and Lewis "death sentences" of their potency is the fact that both aggressors are slipping. Browder is on his way to prison and his party, never robust, has been riddled by the revelation that Grandma Stalin is really the wolf. And there are signs that Lewis CIO is fall ing apart with his own United Mine Workers the only re maining trustworthy troops. ; Two of the well-defined characteristics of John L. Lew la need to be recalled before the significance of his maneuver may be studied intelligently. One is his consistent policy of attack rather than defense. The other is his unquestioned po litical acumen, rivaling that of Jim Farley. Lewis has seldom been wrong. Thus his desertion cant from the "standpoint of cause than from that of effect. His defection may not hurt Roosevelt so much, but it must be taken into consideration as a been hurt, that his chances are - 1 But on the positive side, the prospect of his probable hand-picking of Burton K. Whee kr as the fair-haired candidate of the CIO, of much of the sig Bificance it otherwise would have had. Wheeler has his points and also his political handicaps, including residence in small, far-west Montana. The worst thing we know about him is his membership In the silver bloc But a lot of voters will be say ing worse things about him if he moves up front in the pres idential race on the coattails of In other words though we political skill we are illogically si ration in this particular instance. It does seem that John night better have strung along with Roosevelt, the while re serving the right to scold him at intervals, rather than chang ing horses in midstream with the stream at the flood. A can didate coming up to the democratic national convention with a CIO label is going to be under an extreme handicap. And where is Lewis going to turn for a friendly candidate who has a chance 7 Certainly not to gists upon having one who will lloosevelt has. Political Ingratitude is traditional, but there are times when it also seems Live Alone , The Nazi idea of the world's most unpopular man is Winston Churchill, who, so far as political philosophies are concerned, returns the compliment gladly if not gracefully. Hitherto the great German charge against the English has been that of hiring others the French, the Poles, the Czechs, the Finns to do the dirty work that decadent Britain is no longer able to do ; i. e., substituting brains for brawn, some thing that makes the Germans, who have only the latter, jeal ous. Usually Britain has been aWe to counter by pointing to her own war effort, and to the support which her fleet af fords her ally. Yet on Sunday last, the German accusation took on more credibility than it has ever claimed before, when the rotund First Lord called upon all the little neutrals to eome trooping to the British standard, and do their bit quite penljr for the future of the empire and themselves. There can be, German fury notwithstanding, little ques tion but that the British invitation expresses the ideal inter eats of the neutrals ; that is to say, if it were only a matter of fighting, with armies or economies, on the side of Great Brit ain and France against an equal enemy, the neutrals would kava little need for hesitation. Bat the question is by no means so simple as that, and for that reason Churchill's invi tation is ill-timed if not suspicious. The neutrals, indeed, have realized that from the outset af the war they have had everything to lose, whether by Ger . man bombers or British battleships, and little to gain from actually taking sides one way or the other. They have realized that to do so is merely to select which side of the rise it would be more pleasant to be crushed against, and hare understood that the safest neck is that which is kept closest to the should ers and farthest from other peoples' axes, no matter who is the woodsman. True, the Scandinavians have permitted war aid to go to Finland; but they have carefully refrained from flaunting this fact in the faces of the Russians or the Ger . mans. They have let them know that it exists, but they have aot boasted of 1L It is in sticking to this view of things that the salvation of the small neutrals if there is any most certainly lies. The alternative is to be crushed, and when one is crushed it makes little difference who does the crushing. Obviously, there may be a time when the small neutrals win feel it their bounden duty to choose such an ox action appears clearly toxoLIow that which Churchill pro poses.' But until there are more indications that such allian ces would be more than mere er side, the small states are wise to stick their heads under the covers and send their polite regrets to Whitehall as rapidly as possiDie. mere are times wnen Needs Repetition for Emphasis , Her Is something to think aboat: Of each um persons employed for wages or engaged in basin Is the United States, ONE DRAWS GOVERNMENT PAYCHECK.

Bits for Breakfast By R. J. HENDRICKS" A great responsibility, 1-26-40 a heart breaking choice, that which is forced by tha D'Autremont Brothers' plight! Under the head line "Remem bering the rrAatremonts," B. JP. Irrine's column on the editorial page or tne peruana Journal on Monday last has the quoted woras tnat rouow: 'The D'Autremont brothers among other prisoners, appeared before the parole board at Salem recently. They are serring -ilfe sentences on charges described in the news as follows: S S "Southern Pacific train No. IS left Ashland, Or., on October 11, 1923, winding Its way up the Siskiyou mountains, carrying man coacn, tnree express cars and three day coaches, with 115 passengers. Sid Bates, a reteran engineer, was at the throttle, with Marvin Seng, fireman, by his side. Immediately adjacent to the engine was the mall car. with Postal Clerk E. E. Dough erty at his duties therein. The express cars contained the usual messengers, j. a. Marrett, con ductor, was In charge of the train. At the Siskiyou tunnel two men stepped from behind a boxcar on a siding, boarded the blind bag gage and climbed over to the cab of the engine. A terrific ex posion was heard. 'A holdup!' was the cry among the fright ened passengers and excited train crew. S S a I t- t - - uraseman u. u. jonnson ac companied Conductor Marrett to the front end of the train to ascertain the trouble and render assistance. The conductor re turned for a lantern; Johnson preceded. As he reached the aayngni ox tne tunnel ne was shot in the abdomen with a load of buckshot, and as he reeled forward, with intense pain, he was shot la the back with a 44- caiibre revolver. onauctor Marrett arrived on the scene a few moments later lie found Sid Bates dead, shot through the forehead, and through the Jaw, with his hand on the throttle, holding the safety of his passengers. Marvin Seng, fireman, was seen standing by tne side of the cab by one of the messengers, with his hands lined. He was shot through the bead, the bullet penetrating also the muscle of the right extended arm. The mail clerk, at his post in the mall car when the ex plosion took place, was blown to eternity.- not sufficient bits of his body remaining to identify him. "Three men were seen making their getaway. It was apparent that the plot had failed. The work was that of. amateurs, who used an excessive amount of dynamite to crack the mall car, tearing one end out of It. break ing the steam hoee, fining', the tunnel with gas, smoke , and team. They made their escape and it seemed the earth had swallowed them up and destroyed the clues. S "The charges were those on which the D'Autremont brothers were tried, convicted and sen tenced. "Hugh D'Autremont, youngest of the brothers, is the editor of 'Shadows' a very creditable pub lication issued at the prison. 'Shadows' has been accorded the distinction of being one of the best prison papers-in the United States." So ends the quoted article of Mr. Irvine. Oregon's famous, sym pathetic and able blind editor. Without doubt, Mr. Irvine would be pleased to dictate a more encouraging article on the subject before the parole board. It is altogether likely that If the three D'Autremonts were pa roled, under proper auspices, if; that were possible, they would thereafter "go straight."

"Venue in the Justice Courts published by you December 2, 1939. In addressing yon at the. pres ent time may I make my posi tion very clear when I state that I am a firm believer that the press and the courts are the very bulwark of the' nation, but I do not believe that either should be given the privilege of persecution. I nave always had, and still have, considerable confidence in your paper and tn your editorials; and that reputation I understand, la enjoyed throughout the state. In the first paragraph of your editorial you start out by saying that these case are Clackamas County's "swing-time libel cases." May I point out to you that some fifty-seven years ago I was born at Portland. Oregon; educated and hare lived in the state of Oregon all of my life; that I have held very responsible positions; and my Ufe and my work . to gether with the reputation for in tegrity and honesty is subject to the Inspection of anybody. When It comes to the protection of that reputation, it becomes a serious matter and not a "swing-time" matter. As your editorial was bo donbt based upon the contempt ible, infamous story of an editor of a so-caned "progressive" paper and in as ranch as yes terday he was convicted on a charge of criminal libel, would it not be kinder to be sure of your facts- before, trylnr to influence the public mind through editorials while such m case is rend lax T Would it not also be within the scope of. the decent editors of the state of Oregon to dean oat these rats' In the same manner that the bar association Is endeavor ing to clean oat their undesirable and unethical members?

If any thing the sense of conflict brought a quickened interest, a welcome relief from the boredom that so easily claimed her. So far as Douglas was concerned, she even found a perverse pleasure in i suming the role of a neglected woman, and alternated between outbursts of angry temper and an elaborate bear in r of silent martyrdom. And it was of this neglect that Lola and Bodine were talking late one afternoon as she posed for him in his studio. Both of them seemed a little sad that day, for the portrait was nearing an end. "It is not easy, Paul, this living as If we were at actual warfare. and on me it hardest of aU. scarcely see Joan any more, and when I do his mind Is always on other things-r-on this everlasting struggle against the Brother hood." The artist regarded the por- ditloa the action of the chief executive of Oregon. And the mo ment they were released, if that were accomplished, even under the most favorable circumstances, a warrant for their arreet would await them, to answer to the United States government for maU robbery. Thus there is here presented problem that is evidently beyond solution; a labyrinth of circum stances out of which there is no known clew. (Concluded tomorrow.) Valve case will convince you that every allegation, by the defendant's own aamisaion, were contemptible lies, It also occurs to me that the writer of your editorial haa very little knowledge of tha actual set up of the Oregon laws governing justice courts. No doubt your le gal advisor could Quickly have told you that Salem is not the only "justice of the peace court that was paid a flat salary. While I concede to you that you have a tight to your own thought. do not concede to you that all of the honorable men and women of the legislatures in this state for the past sixty years who have many, many times investigated the laws concern tag the justice courts were all wrong and only you are ngnt in your statement quoted aa follows: "Of course, it is true that the whole justice sys tem is wrong." just where do you get your information that the justice of the peace has a finan cial stake In the guilt or the in nocence of each offender? While l do not anow anything person ally as to whether the state police department hare passed up the court at Woodburn or in the Des chutes county. I believe that I nave a right to assume that this information probably has as much trutn about it as m the case of my court. Out of the thousands of cases handled la this court during the past seven "and one- half years, defendant Staino was only able to produce that wit nesses to say that they were ar rested outside of this district and brought into this district; and their testimony was absolutely re pudiated under the foilowinr con ditions: 1.

"And what are his plaas?" he asked carelessly. "Better ask Alison Neale. Re sentment sharpened her voice, "Maybe ha tells her. At least he sees her often enough." The brush, just about to begin a stroke, hesitated, and as it changing his mind, Bodine laid down the palette. "I cannot un derstand how any man could neglect you for Alison Neale. and yet " the thoughtful voice held and undertone of deep sympa thy "yet I believe you are right One can't help noticing the way he looks at her." He shook his head. "Men are strange, un predictable creatures." 'Nearly erery day she is at the nacienaa or he Is at hers." Paul Bodine played with the longhandled brush. "Of course,1 ne suggested, a girl who is act ually running a ranch like Alison would have much in common with your cousin. It might even mean tney are planning to enter a part nership." Seeing her eyes cloud, he reached for his palette. "And now a little more to the left, Lola, the chin higher o. What a perfect model you are perfect in everything. No, I shall never bo able to understand men or their tastes. Meanwhile, remem ber that you always have me to command." She made no answer, but her dark eyes seemed for the time content. it was tour nignts later, an hour before dawn, that Douglas rode down toward the foot of the mesa, accompanied by Record and uusseii. They were not the only horse men riding through the night. Prom half a dozen ranches men had saddled in the darkness, and now oexore oawn oroae, were making their way toward the Neale ranch. Only a pitifully small handful of men, but they represented all that remained un cowed and undefeated by the raiders. They were few, but their backs were to the wall; they were mea who could be counted on in any struggle, however des perate, and now. in response to a whispered word they were rid ing to the long-awaited meeting at AUson Neaie's ranch. i Douglas was the first to reach there. Two of Alison's Vaqueros had ridden out to see that the road was clear and bring him as tar as the hacienda. There, with Record and Russell, they waited outside while Douglas entered the Tine-covered ranch-house.. A low fire of mesquite logs burning in the open grate pro vided the only light within the room, and before it, chin in her hand, AUson sat, but now at sight of Douglas she called in glad relief, "I was beginning to be anxious about yon. These night rides they are always dangerous." He took off his spurs. "More safe than by day. And with Coro- nado under me I don t worry too much." "What luck In Verde?" she asked eagerly. "None. Alison, there isn't a banker who will lend one cent to any rancher in the valley. I tried them all. Well, who can blame them for that?" He drew ont a cigarette and she held a match to it. "At the; National Bank old Lucas told me he had already loaned a hundred thous and dollars here in the valley that he never expected to get back he was through. When I turned to leave he called after me. 'Clean up that valley of yours, pat an end to that reign of law lessness, and 111 let yon have any amount at any time. But until then I wont touch anythlne- in Rainbow Valley." If I sen my herd next fall I might be able to help you. Douglas laaghed. -without iprth. from a German submarine in the "I am too near ruin tor any halt measures now, Alison. Either we crush out the raiders or in one month more Miracle Mesa ranch is a memory." Side by side they gazed into the crackling fire, while through the eastern windows the first faint light of dawn touched the face of the desert. For a time he brooded, and at last he turned. "I was thinking of Lola just then. She has been moody and Irritable these last few weeks. , Has she seemed different to you?" Alison hesitated. "Yesterday seemed very quiet, a little " she searched for the word, " withdrawn. I thought she wanted to tell me something, but it she did she changed her mind." The girl looked up. "Paul Bodine once warned me that sooner or later Lola would come to resent me because of you. Perhaps " She stopped. "But that would be too absurd." "What would be too absurd." 'Lola coul dn't be foolish enough to be jealous." "Of you and me?" "Yes." Would that be foolish?" 'It would be childish. Everyone knows you two have been intend ed for each other almost since Lola wa born. She Is my closest friend." "And yet " Eyes still on the burning logs, Douglas rose, "and yet it has happened."

It shows as welt aa anything that haa gone before how Mr. Roosevelt works. Bat even more, it Indicates his personal program of constantly edging up to help ing the democracies m o r e and more. Inch by inch, to the utmost "short of war" and the contrary determination of congressional leaders to keep him from stum bling into what ha Intends to stop short of. Listen closely and learn: Mr. Roosevelt did not men tion Finnish credits In his opening message to congress on the state of the world. He took up the subject privately with bis quartet of leaders a week ago Inst Monday in- an unan nounced confab. Then he sub in 1 1 1 e d non-committally the proposition of a $00,000,000 loan to Finland for any pur poses includingr military (the Brown bill idea). Messrs. Gar ner, Berkley, Bankhead and Rayburn spoke determinedly to him against it- Their ground, which has since been developed publicly, was that Finland is at war; a loan is intervention; in tervention is war; the US might as well declare war against Russia and meet the Is sue honestly. Mr. Roosevelt did not commit himself directly, but some if not all the quar tet assumed he was of the same view. They went back to their Jobs, passed the word around the Finnish loan proposition was dead. Five days later Mr. Roosevelt told a press conference the Finn ish loan' was a matter for con gressional leaders to decide and he hoped it would not be consid ered in a partisan light. The Inference drawn by bis somewhat bewildered hearers was that the republicans in con gress must be holding up the proposition. The newsmen rushed to republican leaders BIcNary and Martin, who drop ped back in surprise and asked in turn: what Finnish loan? We (they said) never heard of it. Four days after Mr. Roosevelt annonnced this was a. matter for congressional leaders to decide, he sent his deciding message to Messrs. Garner and Bankhead. in person, suggesting a loan of some Indefinite amount should be made to Finland through the export- import bank to promote the buy ing of agricultural and industrial products in the United States, but not military products (incident ally the navy two weeks before 1 had let Finland take for cash some of its planes which were about to be delivered.) Hardly had the message been read in the senate than demo cratic senators heard in the cloakroom that Mr. Garner thought it would be a very un wise move. Although it had been stripped of its military aid fea tures and disguised as a move to promote American agricultural and industrial exports" which is ; a legitimate purpose of the ex port-import bank through which the loan could be made there was a feeling among democratic senators that Mr. Roosevelt was inching up here to the inch that 1 would break the rule. Promptly they decided to send the recommendation to two committees instead of the usual singte committee. They did this to make sure that if the first committee, the senate banking committee, presided over by New Dealer Senator , Wagner, did not kill it, the see- I Radio Programs 13:15 Ma Psikins. .2:80 Pepper Young's gaatlly. 12:45 Vie and Bade. 1:00 Florentine Matinee. 1:15 Stella Dallas. 1:86 Ok Mr. Piawiddie. 1:4J Bin Plato Special. 2:00 Girl Alone 2:15 M idstream. 2-30 Hollywond News flash as.

Mr. Roosevelt openly announced in his message he wanted to take "steps short of war" to help America's friends in Europe; re sultant congressional comment on the speech was noncommittally foreboding. Congressional senti ment also favors helping all friends "-short of war" but ob viously is doubtful that Mr. Roo sevelt can stop where he says he is going to stop. The congress men want to make sure. They see a great difference in the American people contributing their utmost tor relief of civilians in Finland and the US govern ment assuming a position, dis g u i s e d or otherwise, of openly backing Finland with the official money of Its taxpayers in a war resisting Russian aggression. To them these adroit maneu vers fall short of becoming an enigma. They think Mr. Roose velt changed his mind and sent up his Finnish credit recommen dation after inviting his congres sional leaders to solve the issue, because it became apparent to him they would not act. His recom mendation is being interpreted on Capitol Hill commonly as a move to force them to act. Prevailing odds indicate thev won't. (Diitribtfted by Kin Fetnr firndl- eate. Inc.

Tha Salem event is memorable and tha entire state trusts the capital city will produce a page ant suitable to the occasion. In Salem's early history is embodied many of the most significant Ore gon erects the coming of the Methodist missionaries to the Wil lamette valley, the founding of schools of learning, the inaugura tion of business enterprises. The Trail-to-Rail pageant has always been well done by Eugene since the initial celebration mark ing the completion of the Natron cutoff over the Cascades to Cali fornia. It is a better show than the pageant put on at the world's fair in San Francisco last sum mer. The entire community has shown remarkable ability to co ordinate its efforts and to stage a program which attracts visitors from H of the northwest.
