To tlie tailor: Knowing yot. fairness and desire for the trut I thought 1 would write you a Hi la regard to a matter I have aee discussed in The Capital Jourti reently. feotne time ago some people my acquaintance were greatly di turbed over the conditions In certain home where children we, being brought up under the wroi Influences, dangerous to them au duageioua to the community, an very reluctantly tuey complaint to Judge nuBhey about the co. dltlonH, and the children we. taken away from the home. Judge Buahey, as a faithful a.. fleer, courageous In .his desire do his duty, removed those chi: dren from the home and place them where they would be und Christian care and have an oppoi ttilty to earn a living and at th same time to learn a buslne which would make them self-su: porting. The case that 1 refer to Is tl case of these girls now at the De. couobh hospital. I regret the crll clstn of the authorities of the hot pltal and of Judge Bushey and wanted you to know that the go people who are acquainted wit tu facts thoroughly endorse tl action of Judge Bushey, for wbo they have a profound respect, ar also the action of the hospital m thorltles, who are entltied to ever credit for the work that they a doing not only for the gener public but for thee glrl wl needed their supervision and ear' There I a cheap sentlmentallt which says that when parents d ire to have their children the should always have them no mat ler whether the parents are car able or worthy of caring for th children or not. A proper regar for the Interests of the chlldre and a proper regard for the wel fare of the community denies thi sentimentality and backs up th efforts of such people as tho who complained and such official as Judge Bushey, who overrldi sentimentality in their effort t. provide In the largest and besi way for the rhidlren an well as for the community. I am sure you will be glad to give the facts I have mentioned ' publicity. K. 8. HAMMOND. Kimball College, Salem, Or., Oet. 17, mi. FORUM To the Editor: I certainly think Mr. Hoff Is right In his laud regarding the removal of Mr. and Mrs. U M Gilbert, a superintendent and matron of the Boys' Training school, and Im porting a superintendent from Iowa, and I would also ask what authority the board have to pay ftiree or four men's expenses back aat on a Junketing trip; also by what authority the governor has to take the money the state pro vide for bit traveling expenses, to pay for bringing out easterners out here at the expense of the tax payers. Now If the state board donf know enough to select a lo cation for the sew buildings they bad better sand to Corvalli aad get a student from there to select location. Th taxpayers are tired of the graft. When our governor took office be recommended econ omy In state expenses, aad ke was one of the first to take a I2S00 raise In his salary. The grangers re opposed to removing Mr. Oil kvert for the sake of filling the aUce with Mr. Kuaer at nearly twice th salary that Mr. Gilbert w given, and Mr. Qilbert has prov es Msaself very competent aad Is wart liked by the people and the tasty, and Mr. Hoff Is right In op posing th change, and the gran ges will proewt against th change and rats of salary by Im porting eastern people for posi tions that tb already filled by worthy and competent men R R KYAN.

Public Inquiry Needed Commenting upon that phase of child welfare work which takes away from parents and farms them out ad drudges, the Eugene Guard says: a gnostiy Ku KIux tribesman appeared at a Salem hospital auauay mgnr ana left a note demanding release from slavery or me ntue drudging there under orders of County Judge ousney, some aozen girls having been farmed out to the lnstitu non. jnia is one of the beautiful features of the social uplift wora mat is going on all over the country. Someone complains mai me cnuarea in a certain family, generally poor people, are uui Idug properiy rameo, and the case Is brought before one Of the Several Officials or Barents havlne Hunervlslnn ftvir w aomeulic attaint of the oeonle of everv hIwuI.!. eommnnttv all are eaung up the taxpayers' money; the family ties are broken up and the children farmed out Into virtual slavery. If thev are eui iu mi ooys ana girw aid society, they do the farming out oi me unfortunate children and the girts must become drudges iur parsimonious families, who do not want to nav for havlrnr their work done, until they are 18 years old. The Ku Klux masxiuarder, for whom we have no use at all as a general rule, was on the right track this time, but he will accomplish noining. Me is up against the great social uplift graft. lhe other view of the subject is presented in a letter published today in the Open Forum from the Rev. E. S. Hammond of Kimball college, in which he declares that the children were taken by the court because they were "being brought up under the wrong influences, dangerous to them nd dangerous to the community," and were removed by Judge Bushey "as a faithful officer, courageous in his desire to do his duty" and "placed where they would be under christian care and have an opportunity to earn a living and t the same time learn a business which would make them elf-supporting." Continuing Dr. Hammond says: There Is a cheap sentimentality which says that when par nts desire to have their children they should always have them, no tatter whether the parents are capable or worthy of caring for the hildren or not. A proper regard for the interests of the children nd a proper regard for the welfare of the community denies this nttmentality and backs up the efforts of such people as those who implained and such oificials as Judge Bushey, who override sent! itmtality in their effort to provide the largest and best way for the llldren as well as the community. The press has become the eyes and ears of the world. It is the nnkesman of the weak and the appeal of the suffering. It holds up or review the acts of our officials and of those men in high places ho have it in their power to advance peace or endanger it. It is the orce which unifies public sentiment. But for it, the acts of public enefactors would go unnoticed, imposters would continue undis tared and public offices would be the rich reward of the unscrupu ouh demagogue. The Capital Journal understood that the girl in question vas removed because the parents were at the time unable to iroperly provide for them on account of poverty, but having iince established a home they are now in position to properly irovide for her, but Judge Bushey refuses to permit it. 'arental love may be "cheap sentimentality" but we are old ashioned enough to believe in it and think that parents still ave rights that should be considered, although this is an ire of regulating other people. There are two issues involved the moral right of keeping hildren away from parents able to provide for them there s no question of the legal right under the law and the ixploitation of children for profit. A public investigation if the case, of the ability of the parents to care for their offspring and the treatment accorded county wards should e welcomed by those concerned and put an end to rumors if abuse of authority by court and ill-treatment of county vards by those to whom they are entrusted. 1M CEtext KZodS?r jCfapTff CPQfVwpic who say little can. be jkjfiigf count r d wpoft "to say lot.

Mrs. Watkina (I had leart.d ter name through our converse Ion and that she came from Phll ulelphla) looked at me specnta ively, as though she were almost vondering if 1 were telling the truth. At last she said: "I was sure hat you belonged to Theodore Stratum's company and were go ing to Im Angelas with him for hla next picture." "Theodore Stratton, the moving picture star? How could you have imagined that? I would die of fright and bashkuiaess if I ever met him face to face." "My dear child, surely you know that you breakfasted with Theodore Stratton this morning!' "Was that man Theodore Strat ton?" 1 exclaimed la astonishment "Why. the man I breakfasted with this morning ii not nearly as young as Theodore Stratton, the movie star! You must be mis taken." "Nevertheless, my child, he Is Theodore Stratton." Even then I wouldn't be con vinced. "Ha doesn't look at aU like ke doea in his pictures," I protested "Why. this man Is only fairly good looking, while Theo dore Stratton In picture is one of the handsomest men I ever saw."

I had lost all Inclination to play with it longer. I grew hot and cold. What must Mr. Stratton have thought of tnel He, too might think that I had taken this way to make his acquaintance. I hare put myself in a bad light with him anyway, was my thought, tor he must have only one of two opinions of me. wither that I am far too clever, oi else that I am a perfect fool. No wonder that he thinks my people are craxy to have allowed me to go to California. "I wouldn't worry about it, dear," said Mrs. Watklns. detain ing me. "You didn't ask his name or act In any 'way as if you cared to have It, did you?" "1 certainly did not. I was com This text from Paul's epistle would work wonders If nailed over every factory, shop and office door, as a constructive effort to establish rational ways. The apostle was instructing the Ephesians generally, and was giving a broad admonition. To the clerics, he would have them do the work of the Lord "without murmurings and dlsputings." But the rule is excellent for any one on earth. When a task is given one, or assumed voluntarily but omit grumblins and whining and word bouts over nothing. Ben Farnklin said that a poor workman finds fault with his tools. He put Paul's idea in a homely way, but made It clear that a good workman goes ahead with he tools provided him and does his best despite the handicap. A remenous lot of time Is wasted by almost every one in murmurings md dlsputings at work, whether it be in school or at employment. Tasks are given us for a definite purpose. When we have started our own way in the world, and undertake an engagement for hire, one of the first temptations we encounter Is the tendency to grumble. Rarely Is the emotion justified. We must face condiioos in an Im perfect world, and If our work is unpleasant or holds phases with which we find fault, we have two courses open. We may either drop the work and seek other, or if unable to shift to another position, we must make the best of the one we have. If we stay, there is only one course to follow. It la to tackle the work with our best tntelll nnn and anlrlt. and abstain from grumbling. When we do this, we are apt to be surprised how much easier the task becomes. Fault n-rtina- whinine- snarling, grumblingwhether in the home or at work, does not ease the burden. So in our religious life. If we find ,.nfit rnr ' anlritual elevation, and It we are without an Inclination to obey, get out of the church and stay out.
