The moral seems to be that if you are going to turn thief, steal millions instead of pennies. You can live in luxury on the fat of the land, reside in palaces, entertain the great, and lake no personal chances. If you go after pennies, you exist from hand to mouth and take your life in your hands. In the first instance you are a sort of a hero and in the second instance a sinister criminal. , Our criminal code needs revision. The quality and quan tity of justice makes it a joke.

Stolen wealth is always able to purchase able defense, delay indefinitely the light punishment and all too often escape through technicalities. The poor have no such ad vantage, frequently are unable to make a decent defense and find justice ruthless indeed.

The poet's final official act as dictator ot b lume was the issuance of a proclamation declaring that Italy was not worth dying for, thus stultifying himself. The picturesque bom bast he has deluged the world with for the past year proves only the demagogy of an egoist. What Italy has finally been forced to do in order to maintain good faith as expressed in treaties, should have been done long ago. The mistake was m giving the poet so ilong as period of immunity to defy the world in. D'Annunzio never was anything but a grandiloquent bluff and his resist ance would have callapsed whenever his own hide was en dangered in the hopeless cause. The whole Fiume incident reads like a comic opera plot and would have been impossible in any other country but impressionable and imaginative Italy, whose populace was for a time sympathetically stirred by the poet's fervid patriotic appeals for the restoration of the glories of im perial Rome. D'Anntinzio's braggadacio unfortunately cost the lives ot ome of his deluded followers, brought suffering and distress upon the people of Fiume, entailed a heavy expenditure upon his country at a time Italy can ill afford it, and nearly brought about a renewal of the European conflagration. He should be sent to join that other valient hero who ranaway, an as punishment be forced to saw wood with Kaiser Bill, The Restless Sex "Oh, yes. .indeed! Helen and I are going as a pair of Burmese idols just gold all over you know?" She took the stiff at titude of the wonderful Burmese idol, and threw back her slender hands "This sort of thing, Jim? Tiny gold bells on cur ankles and that wonderful gulden filigree head dress." She was in wonderful spirits: she caught his arm and hand and persuaded him into a two-step, humming the air. "You dance nicely, Jim. You can have me whenever you like " Helen called through the door: "You're quite mad, Steve! You've scarcely time to dress." "Oh, I must run!" she cried, turned to Cleland. audaciously, of fered her lips, almost defiantly. "We're quite safe, Jim, if we can do this so innocently." She laughed. "You adorable boy! Oh, Jim, yOu're mine now, and I'll never let you go away again!" As he went out, he met Orismer. face to face. The blood leaped hotly in his cheeks; Grismer's golden eyes opened in astonish ment: "Cleland! ByMhe gods!" he said, offering his hand. Cleland took it, looked into Gris mer's handsome face: "How are you, Grlsmer?" he said pleasantly. And passed on out of the front door. The Content "My cousin, Jasper jay, has kindly consented to ask us some questions," Mr. Crow informed Daddy Longlegs. "And he will de cide which of us makes the wiser answers." Buster Bumblebee, who was watching and listening, said: "That's hardly fair, it seems to me." But old Mr. Crow quickly told him that he was a stupid fellow- land that he'd better keep still. And since a good many other people had frequently said the same thing to that young gentleman. Buster began to think there might be some truth in it. So he said noth ing more. Meanwhile Daddy L-onglepr beamed upon all the company. And Mr. Crow looked at him out Mr. Crow made no answer for a few moments. He appeared to be thinking deeply. But at last he looked up and said: "The best time to plant corn Is as early as possible." A good many of those present. exclaimed at once that that was a good answer. And a few clapped their hands. "What's your opinion?" Jasper Jay then asked, turning to Daddy Longlegs. Daddy Longlegs took off his suppose j hat, mopped his narrow forehead Thursday, December 30, l920 of the corner i ma e he said to Daddy, "I you've no objection to this plan?" 'with his red bandanna, and then "It suits me very we Daddy re pi " r thought it would, said Mr. Crow with a smirk. And turn ing to his cousin, Jasper Jay. he remarked in a low voice that Dad dy Longlegs was even duller than lie had imagined. Then Jasper Jay announced that he would put the first question And after he had heard Mr. Crow's opinion he would listen to Daddy Longlegs slow ly nodded his head three times "My answer is exactly the same old as Mr. Crow's," he piped in his queer, thin, high voice. At that a look of displeasure passed quickly over the feces or the two cousins. And when little Mr. Chippy called on Jasper Jay to decide which was the beter answer, Jasper looked really wor ried. "It's a tie thla time," he said somewhat sourly. And while ev-; "When Is the best time to plant erybody was shouting, he nud Sir. ' Jasper then asked Mr. while the whole company 1 their necks and strained ears for of course they want to miss anything. Johnson Divorce Case Taken Under Advisement Today After hearing evidence given over a period of two days in a well filled circuit court room here. Judge H. H. Belt of Dallas this morning took under advisement the divorce ease of Alary A. Johnson, who has asked that she be freed from he,- husband, Hiram A. John son. The suit, hotely contested by Mr. Johnson, has caused considerable interest. Both Mr. and Mrs. John son are residents of Salem. High Bridge Stakes. London, Dec. 30. An epidemic of high play at bridge has broken out at London clubs. Where $5 a point was regarded as high the stake is now often $25 and, $50. It is no unusual thing for a man to lose $5,000 or $10,000 between 4 o'clock and dinner time. Stagg May Assist Prison Chaplain Walla Walla, Wrash., Dec. 30. When George T. Stagg passes thru the regular routine required of ev ery convict entering the state pen itentiary he may be named assist ant chaplain of the institution, Warden Henry Drum said today. Stagg is due here late this after noon. "A newspaperman ought to niake good at that job." said the warden. "We might also start a reform paper of our own here on the hill." he added. Chinese Given 2 Years for Alleged Narcotic Selling Pope Benedict XV Honors Supreme Treaurer of K. of C. Portland, Or., Dec. 30. Chuev Sim, a wealthy Chinese who has business interests here and in Se- following his conviction on Grand Jury to Probe Affairs (Continued from Puge One.) was some question on the part of financial men of the merits of the city's action in agreeing to a 12 per cent exchange basis. There was even a feeling that the dis count would be lower than that, but the contrary has developed, send Funds to N. V. On January 1 there falls due $2, 075,000 of treasury notes issued on January 1, 1916. It was with the primary object of making provis ions to retire this issue that the sale to .Morris Bros, was made. Word has now come through that pro ceeds of the Portland sale are be ing put through rapidly to New York, $300 000 having been sent yesterday, CiLy Treasurer Barnhouse is en gaged at signing the bonds as rap idly as possible, and delivering them to the purchasers. He is ex pected to return to the city next week. Crow withdrew to one side and whispered, which some consider ed to be rather bad manners. Soon Jasper and Mr. Crow re turned to the eager throng. And Jasper now looked as brazen as ever. "I'll put the next question," he announced. "And Daddy Longlegs may answer first. . . . How many kernels of corn make a meal?" There wasn't a sound except for Buster Bumblebee's buzzing as Daddy Longlegs moved forward few steps and held his hand behind his ear. "Speak louder!" somebody said to Jasper. "You know he's hard of hearing." So Jasper Jay repeated the ques tion. But Daddy Longlegs onlv looked at him blankly. It was quite clear that he could n't understand a single word that Jasper said.
