There are few people in the world who do not believe themselves better qualifid to run a newspaper than those in charge of it. The man on the street generally knows more than those who have m?e a life stndv of the sub ject. This is because the individual sees the paper solely from a personal viewpoint, while the editor' sees it from an impersonal viewpoint, an average of the viewpoints of mousanas. . The present first page make-up of the Capital Jour nal has aroused more criticism than even the change in head. It is one, however, that has proved popular in other commuunities and is used by many dominant papers, Here, however, it is an innovationand people of the Wil lamette v alley do not like innovations they are apt to resent change of any kind, regardless of merit. For in stance, no region needed good roads more and none fmio-hr them more bitterly. Some like the Old English lettering for the heading merely because nearly all the papers of this section use it. Yet Old English is obsolete if the paper was printed in this tvpe it would be unreadable. It is a survival from the old time into ours and illustrates how tradition has shackled the newspaper mind. The first newspapers used it centuries ago therefore it should be used today. Some suggest the use of the state seal as a centerpiece. This is because the Oregonian uses it, and many Oregon ians take their ideas from the Oreeonian. as a matter nf habit. The cut-and-dried stereotvDed make-un of this metropolitan paper is by these regarded as the I T l j 1 . - urwuuuA niaKe-up. it is tne same today as bO years ago the same used by the first newspapers, the same still in use in England. It is non-elastic, machine like, permit ting no originality or individuality, and unsuited to an evening paper. However the Dioneers mii?ht Y iflve rpcwrn- ed the state seal as an emblmatic work of art, it can bv no stretch ot the imagination be regarded as a thing of ueauiy, . ; - - ----- - Some sigh for a retention of the capitol in the heading even through the smut of obsolete type. - Yet our capi tol; is like that of jnost of the 47. other states a rather poor diminutive copy of the national capitol,' nothing dis tinctive or original about, itunless, it' be1, tlie black un-pamted-ddme which effectually mars its bea'uty. The capitol, however, has been a detriment rather than an as set to Salem. Still others want the supreme court building uiuuueu, oui noDoay nas asKed for the nut-honse vet The criticisms contain many helpful suggestions, some' ui wiiicii win De maae use ot. The, Capital J6urnal is quite willing .tajhange.its heading for a more satasfrrtory orie, willing to try a new4 make-up and maV'other changes to satisfy its readers. These after all are , non-essential things it is the completeness of news, the sincerity, in tegrity tmrpWc-serf ffi flimma1ce'a;nw4pfwortli while and these have escaped criticism.

Recognizing the futility of attempt ing to please every one in all things, we believe that we can satisfy everyone in something. me tha.t I could never go back to John, to his mother, to the gayety and joyousness of his friends. It was then that I wanted to die I wanted to go out of John's life; but most of all I think I wanted to hurt him Just us he had hurt mo. "Ashes to ashes and dust to dust" I heard the words and though my eyes refused to see I knew it was the end. Back, far back In my consciousness lurked the fact that the joyous wed ded life . I had-anticipated with such high hope only r short time before, was crumbling ashes to ashes and dust to dust.

PAIR WJUHTD IN EAST CAUGHT IN POUD LOVE and MARRIED LIFE vy, xik? noiea autnor Idah M?Glone Gibson JOHN RKTCRXS IfOME Lawton, Mich., Dec. 3. Authorities i.ave located In Portland, Or., Mrs. Lester Tabor nnd her son, Walter, sought in connection with the investi gation into the death of Maud Tabor, recording to reports received here to ,'. They will probably be brought here immediately. Authorities today appeared no near er a solution of the mystery of the t'eath of Miss Tabor than when the body was located in tho trunk in the basement of the Tabor home here, where It had reposed for three years. Specialists testifying at the coroner's inquest said there were Indications that the might have died as a result of tlood poisoning, brought on through tin attempt to escape public censure by nn Illegal operation. . ... .. . "... Prosecutor Adams, accompanied by deputy sheriffs, searched the Tabor home at a late hour -last night, -ransacking desks nnd drawers for a pos sible clue to the mystery,- - - ' .. ..

And tho awful part of It is, that J am sure that John, if he were asked, would say that he nover neglected me in his life. But! am sure that if he made this statement, he would make a few mental reservations of things that he had done by saying to him self: "What she doesn't know, won't hurt her." Unfortunately we women know and keep ih our hearts the remembrance of many, many things that our hus bands do not think we have ever found out nbout them. It is not al ways the wife who accuses who suf fers most. I wonder what a man would think if some day while sitting across from lii sol to heart? I know very well that in leav ing me to go home, when I am sure n.t had ho staved with mo twenty four hours longer It would not have made much ditterence in his business, John planted the first seed of repul sion in my breast the seed that grew and grew as ho cultivated it with oth er acts of selfishness until this' me morable morning when I wished that he were out of my life forever. I have always thought that John with his characteristic reluctance to face- anything that was disagreeable, simply made the telegram he received an excuse to return! He did not want to be annoyed by the solemnity and discomfort of a country funeral. , John had followed his first Impulse and-come to me in my trouble and he was somewhat ashamed of himself because ho. had not answered my tel ephone call. But having made the amend honorable, from his point of view; he felt himself justified in tak ing advantage of his opportunity to evade an unhappy situation. . ;, Although mother seemed . much touched and relieved by the fact that Charlie Goodwin was going with us In the carriage she seemed to feol that it wouldn't be unite decent for two women to mourn alone behind their room just before the services be"gan. He seated himself beside my mother and me. I tried to tell myself that it was different with Charlie. He had loved my father and mother had known them all his life and owed a great deal to them. I tried to be just to John, but all the while, even above my sorrow, I kept feeling a deep re sentment. John had told me that he never had felt for any other being what he felt for me. We had to live our lives together. There should be between us the strongest bonds pos sible between two human bolnKS, and yet he left trie to bear my sorrow alone left me to the grave and curious blances of 'the entire little town where I was born. It seemed to pie as I passed out with my mother and Charlie to' the' carriage that I could fairly hear the wondering comments upon the situation. What wonder if my Indignation al most overpowered my grief? Charlie said nothing to me about any any commonplace remai'kB which would icaa me to think he was trying to ex cuse John's absence, my smouldering anger against my husband would have burst Into Vivid flame. And yet his very silence was almost unbearable. I wanted his sympathy. Oh, how I wanted his sympathy, and yet I could not have stood his pity. As we walked from the carriage across the greensward .to tho flower lined grave of my father, I felt as thp I must say:! "yiy. oh why, is it pot I that is ,tu lie here?"
