ROOSEVELT'S LEADERSHIP ! Reprinted from the East Oregonian of Pendleton, an edi torial entitled, "The People Will Judge," is of interest not merely because of the excellent analysis which it makes of presidential election possibilities and strategy but. also be cause of its scarcely veiled opposition-to Franklin D. Roose velt as a third-term candidate. The East Oregonian is well known for its democratic allegiance, but its obligations do not require it to deny America's unwritten law and established precedent against more than two presidential terms. Nor does the East Oregonian relish presidential dictation in campaign affairs. Keying its remarks on the recent state ment of Willis Mahoney that, "There is only one man in America who can and will lead us to victory and that man is Roosevelt," the East Oregonian calls the roll of candidates who were led, not to victory, but to defeat, by the president in 1938. It goes further in its objection to presidential interfer ence in party affairs and predicts that, if presidential insis tence should result in the nomination of a "screwball," the party will go down to defeat in 1940. ... The East Oregonian's editorial inveighs against the . "stand pat" attitude with which it apparently fears that the leaders of democracy may endow their organization. The edi torial itself is proof that the Pendleton paper is not of the "stand patters,", just as proof was earlier given in the stand taken in 1938 by such publications as the East Oregonian and the Oregon Journal against democratic candidates whom they were unable to endorse. It js.a-common sense, practical viewpoint which is indicat ed here. It is one, moreover, which we may be sure has de veloped from honest conviction.. The East Oregonian and the Journal are not alone in their analysis of trends and in the conclusions which they have drawn, Jior it there any indica tion that the number of those who share these ideas with them will diminish between now and the next election. . Already the year of 1939 had been a significant one in Ore gon journalism with the announcement that Ronald G. Call vert, editor of The Oregonian, had earned the Pulitzer award for distinguished editorial writing, but it becomes more defi nitely marked with the recognition that has just been accorded Weekly newspapers of this state. " Three of these are picked for unusual honor by the National Editorial association, which, has concluded the judg ing of newspapers from 35 states. The best weekly in the United States is the McMinnville Telephone-Register, pub lished by Lars Bladine. The best weekly editorial page is that of the Hood.River.News; of which: Hugh Ball is editor To the Hillsboro Argus went the second award for classified adver tising and honorable mention for general excellence. The Argus is published by Verne McKinney. I For any state that would be a lot. For a state the. size (in population): of Oregon it is especially noteworthy. To the eSitors and publishers whose work has gained this recogni tion fqr Oregon and for. Oregon journalism we offer our sin cere congratulations. . Once every 12 months there is recorded in the press of this country the fact that small and far from wealthy Finland has jpst made another payment on its war debt to America. The record has now been made for 1939. Other nations, owing bullions to America, continue to owe, worry not a particle over such unpleasant thoughts as payment of either principle or interest and continue to angle for American support in the event that there should be another world war. t OREGON I EDITORIALS a THE PEOPLE WILL JUDGE Pendleton East Oregonian) "There is only one man in America vho can and will lead us to victory and that man is Roosevelt," says JiUis Mahoney. "Last year Willis Mahoney was classed as the only man who could lead the democrats to victory in the sanatoria! race but Mr. Mahoney was . not elected. , , ;ih Iowa Senator Gillette was marked for slaughter by Harry Hop- . htns and the left wingers at Wash Hilton considered Gillette as a po litical corpse. Yet he was renominat-ed-by an overwhelming democratic Vote and he was reelected. In Geor- ' rq", Maryland, Nevada, Colorado, In diana and other states the same thing occurred. In Maryland the president himself took a direct .hand in oppo- ; sltion to Senator Tydings but the senator was reelected by a big vote. , "The American voter is sovereign ajid he permits neither kings, princes, presidents or anyone else to tell him how to vote.

Our political life is not static. The fact Roosevelt was popular in 1932 and in 1036 does not mean success in 1040. Theodore lioosevolt was extremely popular while president but when he ran for ir third term he was not elected. Wnmirow .Wilson was elected. ; .

There are various as pirants who arc in that category and the president could support any one of them with good grace. If he in sists upon the nomination ' of 'screwball" the democrats will be defeated next year. It the president is a true liberal he will allow the democrats to stage their convention next year without unauc pressure from the executive. The people will not like a dictated nomination, nor 15 there any cer tainty they will like the republican nominee. They will judge the players while the game is underway. That is the American system and it works pretty well.

Bart Whittaker a righteous bride groom who looked at the bankbook first and his wife afterward. - Yesterday; Bart loses his agency when installment buyers fail to pay. ! He is morose. Then he catches a severe cold, is delirious and Iris sends for a doctor. CHAPTER XII . Iris rode down to the hospital in Dr. Pitcher's coupe, right behind the ambulance. It would do no good, as the doctor pointed out. Mr. Whit taker would not know anyone for several days to come. He was a very sick man. I "Business troubles? he had asked Iris, in the little living room, after cxaminging Bart After telling her bluntly her husband had pneumonia. "Yes," she said faintly. "Well you look like a sensible young lady. You go right down to your job and hold things together. If worry got his into this state, then he'll recover a lot qiucker, when he begins to gain, if he knows you're keeping things running for him. You ah work in Dean Somers' office, I I believe?" I "Yes." It was cold and blustery and there was a raw, atter-rain bite to the tall wind, but Iris walked all the way from the hospital to the office. And at noon, after she talked with Ellen Trent, she took the coat back. This was what Bart worried about. Iris, you see. Budget pay ments are fine if everything runs smooth. If nobody is sick, and every- J one keeps working. Or if you've a reserve fund to fall back on. That was what frightened her. No reserve fund. No money saved, no insurance, nothing to fall back on. And Bart sick. He'd have to stay in the hospital six weeks at least. There'd be the hospital and doctors to pay. She'd have to live. Maybe she'd have to be the sole support of the family for a long time. If Bart didn't recover from his illness fast. During the days that followed, the serene order of Iris' former ex istence vanished forever. No longer could she dawdle at breakfast, or lunch when, how, and with whom she pleased. Or on whatever she liked. Nor were her evenings un touched by the calamity which be fell them. To begin with, she went to the hos pital morning, noon and night. And for five dreadful days, there was no change. For five days, she did not step foot in the room, or even get to -the closed door with the nurse sitting on guard at the ward desk, outside. Pleasant, efficient, firm, the nurse was. for those five days she lived m an awful, nightmare of unreality. With .worry growing hydra-headed, every time she stopped working long enough to remember Bart. Remem ber how ill he was. Remember all that had happened, and all that was happening still to them. There was the shop. The speed with which creditors pounced upon the little shop, attaching -everything that wasn't already being claimed by rightful owners who had not yet been paid for merchandise, was frighten ing. There was the Lin wood Clarion, ; with a bill for $480 for advertising.' The Clarion had to be paid. The ad- ! verusing manager insisted they must . be paid. There was the landlord, talking, loud and very angry about three) months rent overdue. There were, bills, bills, everywhere, all of them due, long past due.

There was young Howard Lang, attorney at law, and boyhood friend of Bart s. And finally, there was no more shop, and peace. Except for the fact that Bart must be told. Sometime. When he was well nKuin. when he was strong enough to bear knowing. Meanwhile, there were her own tangled budgets. There was the Vogue Gown Shop, and the Misses' Budget Shop, and the Charlotte Shoppe. Seated at the little table Bart had enameled for her, the first week of their marriuge. Iris sipped a cup of hot tea, and nibbled buttered toast and a boiled egg and a dish of baked apple. Eating mechanically, she be gan writing down every single bill, every account. Racking her mind lest she forget a single item. The milk bill, the drugstore, the jewelers, where Bart had purchased the dia mond ring. She had a staggering list when they were all set down. Enough to fairly kill her appetite. But she finished the last crumb of toast, poured out the remaining half cup of hot tea and drank it. Rummaging in the desk, where Bart had worked with the budget book, worked at his accounts, when he brought things home from the shop to finish up, Irjs found the little black book. Opening it desperately, she leafed through it in feverish haste. Food, menus, buying, plan ning meals, using up leftovers. Pud dings, parties, savings, insurance, in vestments, planning your future. The book didn't miss a trick. "Do you need all you think you have to have now?" asked a chapter. It gave Iris pause for thought Did she? Soberly, she flung open the closet door. Seriously, she began taking down the clothes she had loved so well. Loved beyond everything else. She was another Thais, now, burn ing all on the altar of her devotion, only unlike Thais, she did not with hold her tiny figurine of the god of love. Unlike Thais, she made no res ervations. Because this was volun tary, but it was also harsh necessity. Because now she understood what Bart said when be hated credit hated budget buying, and hated in stallment payments. Now she knew. It was because of the awful shame, if you couldn't pay. The shame of knowing you had something you hadn't paid for, and couldn't pay for. Something you had no right to; that didn't belong to you. That was what lay back of every budget bought article. That great black shadowy ', doubt. I In the morning, she asked Ellen j about second-hand clothes buyers.)

She did really need then). But the bills drove her on. She sold them fur what she could get, and took tl'10 money to pay on her budget accounts. She sold the chair and the smok ing stand, and the furnishings in the aparunent Then she rented a big room with a double bed and com fortable chairs, and a small bath in Mrs. Brady's boarding house. Site moved in that Sunday. A week from her return from her haneymoon vacntion. She moved in, and loft word at the hospital that alio could be reached at Mrs. Brady's tele phone. On Monday morning, she took the diamond back and received $20, since Bart had the ring almost paid for. The $20 cleared up an account she hud been unable to pay anything on after selling the greater part of her wardrobe. Through all the trouble and confu sion of those days Iris never missed her friends. Or noticed that they were curiously occupied, curiously busy, and too concerned with their own affulrs to know what was hap pening to her, ur what she wns doing. And when it was all over, when die shop was closed, and a FQR RENT sign on the door, when the apart ment was dismantled, and TO LET blazoning the street windows, when she was settled in her single room at Mrs. Brady's and getting ready 'to go to the hospital to sec Bart, again, Iris remembered. Bitterness crept over her, as she realised how often Yolandcr and Ho, John and Marcia, and Ellen and John, as well as Dun and his wife dropped in on them, called them, for bridge, dancing, the movies, or dinner through each week. Blttorness filled her throat with a hard lump and tears burned along her eyelids. Then her head came up, and her chin set at a stubborn angle. All right. Let them. Bart was right. Coming into the hospital, that moming o see Bart, Iris was startled to see Ted Bingham waiting. And beside hint, a dark pretty girl, ob viously his wife. Dotty. "Hello, Mrs. Whittaker." Ted suid eagerly, "we heard Bart was sick and we came over to sec if there was anything wo could do. You had moved from the address Mr. Whit taker told us. and nobody seemed to know where you'd gone. So we came down here." Iris felt the damp streaks on her face, the tears she bad been unable to shed all the long dreary hours of straightening out the mess that lied been her old life.

She swallowed then and blinked, but the blur wouldn't vanish. ' "He'll be proud to know you ro. mcinbered and cared," she said softly- They went out, slowly, and a nurse came toward her smiling. "Good news for you tills morning, Mrs. Whittaker. You're to see that big husband of yours tor a little while. But you'll remember not to excite or worry him wont you? And not to stay too long?" Inside the qulot, dim room that was much too cold for comfort. Iris stood by the high white Iron bed and fell her eyes blurring so she couldn't see Bnrt at all. Then his hand, thin but warm, found hers and closed around it tightly. Silently, they stood thus. Silently, while a deep vast -prayer of gratitude swelled in Iris heart swept up to engulf her, until It pounded and beat in her ears like thunder. "Darling, she whispered sluiklly, I'm so glad I can see you." "Stand by honey," Bart tried to grin and decided it was too much work, but his dark eyes clung to her face as if hungry for every dearly beloved, familiar feature he hud re membered "everything's going to be G. h, now.

Dimly she realized that Bart understood. And peace came to her soul.
