SHABBY AND
This business of jrettinjr a
Wendell Willkie's acceptance speech because the president of
the United States is too busy to engage in political debate (and
besides it would be beneath his dignity) and then havinjr a
United States senator reply to the secretary, if carried to its
logical conclusion, may end with a simple dog fight' in the
alley between the homes of a couple of precinct committee
men of opposite political faith. If the New deal dog happens
to be a bull terrier and the Republican a poodle the arirument
will be settled in favor of the New deal ripht then and there
and Mr. Roosevelt can be inaugurated without waiting for
January to roll around. Or. of course, vice versa.
Needless to say the campaign will not go to a logical con
clusion in this manner. And, unfortunately though fortun
ately for the New deal cause Mr. Roosevelt will not dare to
meet the Willkie challenge. He cannot alTord to do so. A man
whose speeches are the compound of the work of many writers,
which we have learned from Raymond Moley and Hugh John
son is the case with President Roosevelt, has too few convic
tions of his own to be able to stand up in debate against a
crusader like Willkie.
In making his proposal for joint debate Mr. Willkie ex
tended all due courtesy to the presidential office occupied by
Mr. Roosevelt. It so happens, however, that Franklin 1).
Roosevelt is not merely President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He
is also Candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt. The magazine Time
observes the difference in its latest issue by giving, in addition
to its customary section on news of the presidency, another on
the candidate. In the former, presidential activity is reported
and in it the reader finds, in parentheses, this : "For news of
Candidate Roosevelt, see p. 15." It is Candidate Roosevelt to
whonvMr. Willkie has addressed his proposal.
A presidential campaign is not a name-calling contest and
when Mr. Roosevelt turns over to Harold Ickes the task of
replying to the Willkie he belittles himself and the democracy
of this country. Willkie called no names in his acceptance
speech. He did challenge certain New deal and Rooseveltian
methods and policies. The answer, if there is any, should be
made by the man responsible for them. The vituperation of
Harold Ickes is not an answer. "Mr. Big" could find plenty of
time for reply, could he make any, by letting his Republican
secretaries do the inspection work he has taken on himself.
There is something rather shabby and unbecoming in
Franklin Roosevelt's sending Harold Ickes forth to call names
in a presidential contest while he, Roosevelt, shuns the issues.
The under water weed cutter operated by the city on the
Mirror pond this summer has done a good job. Weed growth,
so prevalent and objectionable in other years has this year
been hut little noticeable. Probably by lowering the water
and digging out the roots the need for cutting the weeds would
be ended for a time. If that is not a practical thing to do this
cutting is the next best answer.
Our congratulations to our Redmond friend and neighbor,
Tom Quigley, on his 80th birthday celebrated yesterday. Tom
is a good friend, a good citizen and a gifted speaker and versi
fier. One of his pieces of some 20 years ago, "He Kept It Out
of Terrebonne," deserves perpetuation in a central Oregon
verse anthology if one is ever printed. May Tom celebrate
many more birthdays.
DRUNK'S PAINTING
HANGS IN CHURCH
Copy of The Last Supper'
Recently Renovated
Hudson, 111. mi A young artist
whose weakness was a craving for
alcoholic drinks, has left a me
mortal on the walls of a little
country church which looks more
like a schoolhouse than a place of
reverence, in the form of a Bibli
calpainting. The painting, a copy of the im
mortal picture, "The Last Sup
per," was done, old-timers said, bv
a youth who gave his name as
George M. Swan, about 19, from
Peoria, 26 years ago. They said he
seemed to be able to work best
while in the grip of drink.
W. S. Candcgraft, chapel custo
dian for the past 10 years, recalls
the incidents leading up to Swan's
painting. He said that Swan, vis
iting friends nearby, sauntered by
ine cnurcn one day and saw sev
eral church members erecting
nitcning posts which are still in
use.
"Say." he said to one of the
men, "if you'll get be a pair of
overalls, buy me the paint and
give me something to drink, I'll
paint a picture for you in the
church.
A collection was taken up, $17
was raised, the drinks and paint

provided and Swan, Vandegraft
said, went to work with a Sunday
school card bearing a copy of "The
Last Supper" as his model.
It took a week and the painting
was done," said Candegraft. "I
saw that youg fellow up on the
scanoia painting that picture
when he was so intoxicated he
could hardly stand there. It didn't
hurt his painting ability a bit."
Two years later. Swan died, but
his work still gleams on the
chapel wall after 26 years. Women
in the community recently raised
funds to clear the painting of dust
and grime and to redecorate the
chapel interior and church chairs.
The church, built 36 years ago,
is located on a hillton at the south
end of Lake Bloomington. It is a
one-story, white frame building
and is known as the Hinthorne
chapel. Undenominational, the

LIEUTENANT O'LEARY po
lice investigator.
a a a
Yesterday: Ballistics tests show
it was not Riggs' gun that killed
Sayler. O'Leary releases the sus
pects, holds Riggs in Jail, then
calls on Hazel Leighton. She is
writing a letter: I tried to put
the deal across. . . ."
CHAPTER IX
As long as Lieutenant O'Leary
said nothing, but just sat there
quietly watching the surge of con
flicting emotions playing upon
Hazel Leighton's face, he realized
there was a chance she would tell
him what he wanted to know
what that letter was all about.
Hazel was fighting with herself
. . . fighting to keep herself under
control. The knuckles of her
clenched fist were white and she
of her feet as she looked out the
u ""
window of the solarium.
She turned finally and walked
back toward the officers. She
looked very tired. "I may as well
tell you. The letter makes it look
so much worse than it really Is."
"Who's Jed the man you were
writing to?" O'Leary asked.
"I'm going to marry him some
day, I hope. He's in Los Angeles
now . . . waiting. You see, we were
going to nick old man Sayler for
a neat little piece of change. We
figured on a nice. Juicy breach of
promise suit or a settlement a
few months after marriage.
"Neither plan worked out. Say
ler got wind of the scheme. He
found a letter from Jed . . . just
like you did. He pinned me down
with it one day, and I got sore. I
told him what I thought of him
and what I was going to do.
"After I was through talking,
he Just laughed at me. He told me
he had left his dictaphone run
ning and that everything I had
said was recorded. I would have
killed him then, hut I didn't have
a gun. When I left him he said he
would be happy to give me $5000
for the year's trouble I had
taken."
Carroll's lack of sleep was not
so evident now. "That's all? So
you came over last night to col
lect the $5000?"
"Yes ... I suppose so. Really,
I don't know why I went there
last night. He told me to come
... and I came."
O'Leary had risen and was
picking Up his hat. "Thank you,
Miss Leighton. The sergeant and
I will be running along now. I'd
advise you to find some other
way to make money in the fu
ture . . . and don't leave town just
yet."
a a a
Winslow Mardell was just leav
ing his hotel when the two de
tectives entered. He smiled a
greeting and led them to a cor
ner of the deserted lobby.
"Just going out to lunch. Will
you gentlemen Join me?" he in
vited. "Thanks," said O'Leary. "We'll
copyrioht. imo.
na (mviu. inc
just keep you a second. We want
to know how you happened to
lose $35,000 to Martin Sayler."
Mardell straightened out a
gleaming yellow tie that lay
against a silk shirt of nevy blue.
He wore trousers of light gray
flannel and a sports coat of large,
hideous checks.
"Oh. Just one of those things,"
Mardell said airily. "A little poker
game. Sayler often rounded up a
few cronies for a friendly session.
Luck was against me for a few
nights, and I was running a little
short of ready cash, so I just
wrote some I. O. U.'s. Hope you're
not worried about them?"
"No," said O'Leary. "but I
guess you were. You had no way
of meeting them and Sayler want
ed his money, didn't he?"
Mardell's eyes became hard.
"So what if he did. He knew he
was going to get it."
"How were you going to pay
him?"
"I've got money. I could have
drawn some from the bank, but I
figured I'd let the I. O. U.'s ride
for a while and see if I couldn't
win some of that dough back."
The lieutenant faced the man
bluntly. "Look, Mardell. We know
better. Sayler wanted that money,
anH vnn wflrn nunr at his i . I -j . -.i
the other night. He wanted to col
lect. I've had you checked pretty
carefully. You're broke. Even
your hotel bills arc overdue."
Mardell snarled, "I wasn't go
ing to welch ... I never have
yet."
"You never dared. If you can't
gamble, you don't eat. And Say
ler was going to fix it so no Joint
in town would ever let you in
again. He was going to let it get
around that you were a wclcher.
Isn't that right?"
Mardell's lips twisted slightly
at the corners. "Maybe," he ad
mitted. "But it's too late now. Mr.
Sayler won't do any talking any
where now."
When the two detectives were
back in their automobile, Carroll
turned to O'Leary. "That bird's
luckyor is he?"
O'Leary shrugged. "I don't
know. Murder Isn't beyond him.
And he certainly had a lot to gain
from Sayler's death."
Yeah. Where to now, Chier? '

on Spencer road."

George Barbour was sitting in
his shirt sleeves on the flag stone
terrace before his commodious
Oorglan house when the officers
swung their car into the drive.

ruddier and his graying hair had
a silvery hue. He appeared much

He rose to greet O'Leary and
Carroll as they slid out of the car.
"(rood day, gentlemen." he said
pleasantly. "And what can I do
for you?
O'Leary accepted the extended
hand. "Just a lew more details
about that business last night,
Mr. Barbour."
The pudgy man shook his head
sadly. "Ah, yes. Poor Klggs. I
never suspected. I frequently
warned Martin about taking con
victs into his home. Come inside,
please. I'll get you a drink."
He motioned Carroll ahead, and
Just as the sergeant was about to
grasp the handle of the screen
door, the portal swung open.
Sergeant Carroll leaped back
instinctively. "What the !"
Wild-eyed he turned to O'lsry.
Barbour was smiling broadly.
"Scare you. Sergeant?"
"Did you see that. Chief?" Car
roll demanded. "I didn't touch It
. . . and it Just opened. Not a soul
around."
Barbour chuckled. "Just a little
device I rigged up. Sergeant.
You'll find lots of mysterious
things happening around here. A
hobby of mine."
Carroll looked quizzical. "But
how -?"
"Very simple. Photo-electric
cells, often called electric eyes.
The light comes from that little
glass disc ynu see set Into the
pillar here. The light ray is aimed
at the cell on the other side you
can see It In that other pillar.
When you crossed the Invisible
line. Sergeant, you Just broke
the connection and set a little
electric motor in action. That
opened the door."
Sergeant Carroll sighed with
relief. "Well, Ml be darned. Never
saw anything like it before."
Two more doors responded sim
ilarly inside the house, hut Car
roll refused to lead the way.
When they were finally settled In
a masculinely appointed living
room and three tall, cool-looking
drinks had been set before them,
O'Leary and Carroll settled back
In their chairs.
"Our mission isn't a very pleas
ant one," O'Leary said.
Barbour's forehead wrinkled
slightly. He waited for the lieu
tenant to go on.
"We found some paper in Say
ler's safe last night, Mr. Barbour
some papers about you."
Beads of perspiration settled on
Barbour's face, and he said quiet
ly, "So you found them?"
"Yes. Didn't you expect us to?"
"I suppose I did. You know all
about it then? About the audit?"
"Yes," O'Leary acknowledged.
"Why did you take money out of
the partnership? You did, didn't
you?"
"Yes, I took It," Barbour said
bitterly. "I deserved It. Martin
was getting wads of cash from
his dirty business. I never got a
cent of that . . . wouldn't have
wanted It. But meanwhile he

It, hut he was still getting his half
of the profits, according to our
partnership agreement. So I final

O'Leary nodded sympathetical
ly. "And Sayler suspected, so la
called In the auditors.'
'That's right. He was going to
expose me, have me Jnlled and
disbarred unless I got out and
promised never to practice law In
