The issue was not created by the governdrs pro clamaion. The latter merely a recognition of existing con ditions and a public warning of dangers impending. The issue will not be settled, until it is settled right and "in visible empire" driven from Oregon. The fruits of Ku Klux Klanism are seen on every hand. Once united communities are split by factional fights. Latent race antagonisms have been aroused and slumbering religious fanaticism awakened. Community division and group discord prevail where a short while ago harmony ruled. . ' California is proceeding systematically against the Ku Klux Klan. Members of the order who place their obliga tion to the "emperor" ahead of obligation to state govern ment, are being sent to prison. Members of the National Guard are being required to leave the Klan or quit the ser vice, and state employes must do the same, for no one can Oregon must follow the same proceedure and purge the t 4W whn ialca the law into their own hands. The HUiie ui uiw . , , bill of rights guaranteed under the constitution must be preserved and secret tribunals abolished.

Claverinar made no comment. but resumed reading Glendening'a autobiography. I am not a brave man. Jim. I haven't that Quick Impulsive na ture which make lor bravery. I've ml ways been one of those who must stand od wait. When I first went south. I was too ill to think ol much except that I was inexpressibly lonely. and blue. For a while I thought perhaps it would be better if I did not try to live. But. thank God, suicide is one cowardly act that has always semed to me unutter ably silly. I soon made friends, for as us. ual. I became acquainted with many people and that changed my outlook on life wonderfully. Most of. these people wre themselves more or lees ill. Mis ery seems to draw around itself itx own comcanv.

I was too ill to even worry much. I only eat and tried not to.ihink, during the long hours I SDent on the galleries of the hotel In the sunshine. Before Ions' I began to Improve In health and started to write a little. However, I found it impos sible to make my brain obey my will.

Then I met th woman who has had the greatest Influence on my lire.

If blame there be, to them it should be given "To a woman-child, love ro mantle love Is idealised and taught until it is made much bigger than life Itself," continued Dr. Georce who. bavins- arotten started on his bobby, was riding pell mell over everything. "From the time a boy can un derstand, he is told to prepare for a life of work. From the time a a-lrl looks with understand ing Into her mother's face, she Is told to prepare for a life of love. ' Kvery beautiful feature of her face, every gesture of her body, every fashionable whim of her attire is made to attract the opposite sex. That is the reason for the change ot fashions. Short and narrow skirts come in. and all men begin to sit up and take no tice. "Reformers shout, preachers preach and all the world calls attention to the terrible fact that women really have legs. Then when men grow tired of the lure, when they no longer gaze. fashions produces some new fe male ot the species may beguile the male "There must always be some thing new to whet the Jaded ap Detlte of men's senses.

The other is the amount of mileage taken out by you. With its Western factory a part of the largest tire-building orsanization in the world, with great buying power, with modern equipment and proc esses, Goodyear can build tires to sen at as low a price as anyone can. But instead of building tires as cheaply as possi ble, Goodyear builds them as good as possible, putting into them the greatest possible value. Goodyear is not content, however, merely to build the best possible value into Goodyear Tires. Through Goodyear Dealers a sincere effort is made to help Goodyear users get out of these tires aii the value the factory has built into them. . As a result, Goodyear users enjoy from Goodyear Tires not only greater tire satisfaction and less tire trouble, but lower Anal coat Because of this lower final cost, more people ride on Goodyear Tires than on any other kind. Goodyear Service Station Dealers believe, ms we do, in the Goodyear combination of good value plus good service. -The Goodyear Service Stations here in Salem will be glad to show you how to get greater mileage and greater economy from your tires.
