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.

subject so as to aid in the nomination
of a liberal. 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

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

SERIAL STORY
t BRIDE ON
BY JANET DORAN
CAST OF CHARACTERS
Iris Ives a radiant bride who
thought love came first and money
could take care a itself.
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 were col- i
lectors and disagreeable, hard-faced)
men who spoke of injunctions, liens I

and claims, and waved long folded
papers.
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

The amount she received was so
much less than she had expected,
Iris vns templed not to let tlte
clothes go. 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. The life Bnrt had

"Ted," site sold simply, remember
ing Bai't had called the young man
that; feeling somehow that It would
please Bart if she called htm that
now, if alio was nice to him, "Ted, the
very first thing I'm going to tell Bnrt,
when lie can see me, is that you two
were here to see him!" 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.
Of course, darling, Iris said
steadily, ''there aren't any mar bills
now, Burt And when you re home
again, you'll be surprised at bow 1
can run that budget book. I'm get
ting all practiced up now."
He grtnned then.
"Wife." be said. Dimly. Iris under
stood. . Dimly she realized that her
days of being a brldo, a foolish.
spendthrift, extravagant bride wore
past. Dimly she realized that Bart
understood. And peace came to her
soul.
