"Scandals" is typical of the class of shows the theatrical trust thinks the country demands, because' they satisfy the bizarre crowd that makes up a Broadway audience and any thing that "goes" in New York has to go everywhere else the rube public is helpless. It is all that is offered. There is no more reason for protesting "Scandals" than here was for protesting "Follies" and a score of other col lections of faded and jaded and painted beauties, who how- star.1 John Cleland remained politely j told hig son the story of Stepha unreceptive; and there were no nie Quest.

St. Vitus has become the patron saint of the - musical show, and the dances are in imitation of his Irresponsible twiching, camouflaged as "Shimmy", emphasized by the bare limbs and near nakedness of the overworked and under clad chorus. There is no pretense of plot, and none of music, unless the syncophated clamor of over-strained voices and the blare of jazz instruments be dignified by such a title. The ragtime recitation has completely routed the ballad, melody ! is conspicious by its absence and suggestive vulgarity sub ' stitutes for wit.

If James M. Cox had been elected president, all this iphenomina would have been attributed by the partisan press to the Jack of public confidence in a democratic administra tion. However, Cox was not elected and the industrial slump comes after-a most sweeping triumph of the republican party placing them in full control of every department of the gov ernment. As soon as the triumph is assured, however, soup hentees'and bread lines 'threaten;- Is this the promised pros perity? Jn.Salem the three largest industrial concerns reduced wages following Harding's election though the city and state went republican. How the Oregonian, the Statesman and others of their ilk would have ranted if this reduction had followed Cox's election! There would have been no doubt about the blight to the nation raused by democratic success ! It would have been incontrovertible evidence of democratic inefficiency. On every hand we would hear the damnation ot democracy. However it happens after Harding's election and there is a vast conspiracy oi silence. Of such guff is the politicians' argument made. And the dear people swallow it, despite its shallow insincerity: Of course the election of Harding had nothing to do with the situation. It is due to the liquidation of war prices and .economic conditions beyond the control of any party. It is the toll of the war, and inevitable. But the republicans 'have always preached the fallacy that, prosperity was due to republican administrations and adversity to democratic ad- 'ministrations, and ignorant and Unthinking voters believed i!- I-"1 ' 1 1 f . i . suhvim; laws act relentlessly, regardless of politics and parties.

Hut Cleland gave him no open ing whatever; Grlsmer social ad vances were amiably ignored. And it became plainer and plainer to Grisnier, as he interpreted the si tuation, that John Cleland was planning to unite thru his son Jim, the comfortable Cleland In come with the Quest millions, and to elbow everybody else out of the way. "The philanthropic hypociit mused Grlsmer, still smarting from a note expressing civil re grets in reply to an invitation to Stephanie and Jim to join them after church for a motor trip to Lakewood. "Can't they come?" Inquired Oswald. "Previous engagement,,' snap ped Grlsmer, tearing up bt note. His wife, an invalid, with stringy hair and spots on her face, re marked with resignation that tne Clelands were too stylish to cars. about plain. Christian people. "Stylish," repeated Grlsmr, "I have got ten dollars to Cleland's one. -I can put on style enough to swamp him if I've a mind to! -rm-m-m'yes. I've a mind to," "Why don't you?" inquired Os wald, with a malicious side glance at his father's frock coat and ready-made cravat. "Chuck the religious game and wear spats and a topper! It's a better graft, gov ernor." Chiltren Grismer. omy partly attentive to .Ids turned a fierce, ce upon him. But his mind was still intrigued with that word "stylish." It began to enrage him. He repeated, it aloud once or twice, sneeringly: "So you think we may not be .sufficiently stylish to suit the Cle lands or" that brat they picked out of the sewer? M-m-m'yes, reopen the case wihch had de prived Jessie Grismer of her own inheritance so many years ago. The young fellow listened with languid astonishment as the links of the story, very carefully and morally polished, were displayed by his father for his instruction and edification. "That is the sort of stylish people they are," concluded Gris mer, making an abrupt end. "Let it be a warning to you to keep your eye on the Clelands; for a man that calls himself a philan thopist, and is sharp enough to pick out an heiress from the gut ter, will bear watching! m-m-m' yes, indeed, he certainly will bear watching." preoccupied gran- Big Light and Power Project Files Petition The development of 11,705 horse power is contemplated in an appli cation filed with the state engineer by the Clackamas Power and Irri gation company of Portland.

He was not the sort of person to think and think about a thing and put off the doing of it from one day to .mother. So the moment the idea of a house popped into his head Sandy Chipmunk began hun ting for a good place to dig. It was not long before he found a bit of ground that seemed to him the very best spot for a home that any one could want. The place where he intended to make his front door was in the middle of 0. smooth plot among soma beech trees. Farmer Greens cows had clipped the grass short 8,1! around. And Sandy knew that "he could have a neat uoorway without being obliged to go to the trouble of cutting the grass him Self;- But what he liked most of all about the place was th.it as tie stood there he could look all around in every direction, mar. was just he wanted, because when ever he wished to leave his new house he would be able to peep out and- see whether anybody was uaitiug to oitch him. So Sandy Chipmunk took off his little, short coat, folded it carefully, and laid it down upon the grass. Then he pulled off his necktie and unbuttoned his collar. Just because he was going to dig in the ground there was no reason why he should get his clothes dirty After that Sandy Chipmunk set to work. And you sould have seen how he made, the eu'th fly When night came and he had to stop working there was a big heap of dirt beneath the beech trees, to show how busy Sandy had been There was a big hole in the pas ture too. But it was nothing at all, compared with the hole Siindy had dug by the time he had finish ed his house. Every morning Sandy Chip munk came back to the grove of beech trees to work upon his new- house. And It was not many days before his burrow was so deep that when winter came the ground about his chamber wiUld not freeze. It was what Iwmer Green would have called "belurv frost-line." You must not think it was an easy mater for Sandy Chipmunk to dig a home. You must remem ber that somehow he had to bring the dirt out of his tunnel to he top of the ground. And he did that by pushing it ahead of him with his nose. You may laugh when you i,ir that. But for Sandy Chipmunk :t was no laughing ma-ter. If he had laughed, just as likely as not he would have found his mouth full of dirt. And you can under stand that that wouldn't have been very pleasant. As It was, his face was very dirty. But he never went back to his mother's house until he had washed it carefully, just as a cat washes her Sace. Sometimes Sandy found stones in his .way, down there beneath the pasture'. And those he had to push up, too. Sometimes a' stone was too beg to crowd though the opening into the world out side. And then Sandy had to make the opening bigger. Jlfter he had done that, and pushed the stone out upon his dirt-pile, he would make his doorway smaller again by packing earth firmly in to it. You must not suppose that when Sandy brough' the loose dirt and stones up thfough his door way he left them there. Not at not y ....Tr' -""lied m noma rls.U-.T.'Hj in .,11 11.. nil u I, ...

And whenever he turned, to scamper down into his burrow again, he would kick be hind him. ae hard as he could, to scatter the dirt still further from his new house.
