Silence In the Sanctums
Two of the fearsome quartette of Portland's daily news
papers having' editorially discovered that there is such an
issue in Oregon as the Ku Klux Klan, there is hope that, be
fore the November election, more of them will also discover
that there has been an election contest and recount, which
their favorite candidate was forced to abandon for lack of
evidence. Only one of them seems aware of this fact, at least
the others are discreetly silent upon this as upon all subjects
In which the machinations of the invisible'empire are exposed,
None of these remarkable exponents of 20th century
newspaperdom is as yet editorially aware that some
twenty-two klansmen have been indicted at Medford for in
dulging in three midnight necktie parties, or that they at
tempted to seize control of law enforcement in Jackson
county by recalling the sheriff and filling his place with
a klansman. Ordinarily such proceedings would at least
bring editorial mention from the only metropolitan news
papers in the state, but not in Oregon.
The fact that the Ku Klux Klan and allied secret socie
ties made a clean sweep of Portland in recent elections and
are in full control, or will be after the next election, of city
hall and county court house, a3 well as the public schools is
. another fact that the metropolitan press has been careful to
conceal in its editorial columns. Why awaken people to
actual conditions when silence will help the Kluxers to swipe
the state house as well?
Not a one of these journalistic giants have as yet ascertained
that there is an initiative bill upon the ballot to be voted
upon at the general election, which proposes to abolish
private schools in Oregon and refuses parents the right to
supervise the education of their own children, in direct
conflict with the Bill of Rights guaranteed in the constitu
tion, an infringment of the personal and religious liberty
the nation was founded to maintain. One would naturally
think that such a curtailment of freedom would at least
bring editorial protest, even though the bill was fathered by
the Ku KUix Klan and affiliated secret societies but there is
never a peep.
Whether it was the advent of the Klan or the adoption
of a code of ethics that inspired this conspiracy of silence
about matters vital to the life and welfare of the state and
community, we do not know but a deep and impenetrable
silence pervades the editorial sanctums of the Portland
papers a silence that will probably remain unbroken until
the country press has broken the back of Ku Kluxism and
made it safe for the city press to pick the bones without
fear of losing a subscriber or cancelling an advertising contract.

The successful professional man is al

Why try to pick winners when it is so much

What you deserve you get, whether it be big

Advertising tells people what you can do," and
thus gives you a chance to do it.
Things would improve a whole lot if the people

Walter Jones' Parent
"When Dr. Thornton turned back
to the room there was a look of
disgust upon his face.
What message did you send to
Walter's home, Sheila f" he asked.
'I told them that the crisis had
come; that we were about to ad
minister oxygen, as the moment was
critical," I responded questioning!.
"And I," replied the doctor, with
feeling, ''received word from Mr.
Jones, Sr., that he knew we were
doing all that was possible and that
he would be over by 0 in the morn
ing. Then this remarkable father
added that Mrs. Jones had just got
ten to sleep and he thought it best
not to wake her; while his daughter
Susanne, had not yet returned from
a party at the Country club."
I looked at Dr. Thornton in hor
ror. "Doesn't any one of them love
Walter t" I asked tearfully.
"They think they do. At least
Mr. Jones, Sr., told me wncn I first
was called that if his son didd all
hie hopes and ambitions would
come to naught. 'He is the only one
to carry on my name.' he said.
"Mrs. Jones, you know, Sheila,
the doctor continued, ''is not the
mother of Walter. She is his
father's second wife and Susanna is
Walter's half sister."
"Then it is only Mr. Jones' hopes
and ambition that ere to be dis
turbed if the boy dies?' I asked
venomously.
"Some day, perhaps, Sheila," ob
served Dr. Thornton, "you will find
that money and the struggle to ac
cumulate it, is apt to dull every
other emotion in the human breast."
'Do you think that is true, Mrs.
Wilmington? You seen to have a
great dtal of money and yet I have
never had anything from you but
sympathy and love and unselfish
interest."
"IVrhaps, Sheila," I answered
"it is because I have always had
money. Phil's and my parents,
grandparonts and great-grandparents
were wealthy for the times in
which we lived. We have never
known the struggle that the self
made man must go through to slow
ly pile dollar upon dollar. I do not
kuow,"Sheila, what I would do with
out money, because I have never
felt the need of it. My husband's
people were wealthier than mine,
and I sometimes think I have been
very selfish not to help more peo
ple to bo happy than I have."
"You could not be selfish if you
tried, Mrs. Wilmington," fheila an
swered, feelingly. Had Walter Jones
Jr., been your brother you would
havo been with him every moment
'As I watched Walter through
the long( terrible night I had a
c.hanco to think over-'the unbeliev
able selfishness of his people.
About 10 o clock the next day
the whole family came in. The crisis
had pa-ssed and we knew that with
care Walter would live.
'Only one of you go into the
room. 1 heard Dr. Thornton say.
In a moment Walter's father step
ped in, a set smile upon his face.
Walter never opened his eves,
even when his father said, 'Thank
God, my boy, you are going to get
well. I hope this will be a lesson
to you not to ait around in polo
togs after being caught In a shower
on the field.
"Then, turning to me, a alight
frown passed over hie face, and
beckoning, he passed out of the
room. I followed.
" 'Are you the night nurse t 'he
asked brusquely.
"Yes, air.'
" 'Doesn't the day nurse come on
before thief he demanded.
" 'Yes, sir, but she is eating her
breakfast now.
" 'Have you been with him every
night f
'I am his night nurse.
'I'll see that you are well re
warded.'
Whatever reward you have in
mind Mr. Jones, will be paid to
the hospital. I am not a graduate
nurse.
Wlatl' came in strident tones
from the very grand lady who had
been evelng me through her lor
gnette. 'I cannot understand, Wal
ter, how you allowed Dr. Thornton
to pass off on you some girl who
isn't through her training."
" 'I did not see her, Julia. Dr.
Thornton said that she was ail
right.'
'' 'Oh, what's the matter! She cer
tainly looks all right,' broke in
a younger woman in the party
Walter's sister. 'She has taken care
of him satisfactorily. I'll trust her
appearance for that.
But tell me, dad, did the doctor
say that Walter will pull through!'
Dr. Thornton entered tho room
at that moment and answered the
question: 'With proper care his
chances are good.'
By the way, he continued, 'I do
not think that you have met Wal
ter's night nurse, Miss Sheila El
liston.'
'Mr. Jones bowed, Mrs. Jones
raised her lorgnette again, and Su-
sanne said 'Ho is in luck. Every
nurse I have ever seen before would
stop a clock.'
Susanne,' came in horrified ac
cents from Mrs. Jones.
,'There are some things Mrs.
Jones, that a good nurse gives to
her patient that money cannot
buy broke in Dr. Thornton quietly
There was indignation in his voice,
however.
"Then he turned to me and said,
You have had a very hard night.
Miss Elliston, and I thank you for
your unwavering devotion 40 your
duty. Go to bed now and sleep un
til 4. Then I want you to take a
ride before you eat dinner and come
on ditty again.'
You certainly take care of
nurses, doctor, volunteered Mrs.
Jones.
'If I did not, madame, I am
afraid that they would not be able
to take care of you. A siego like
the one that Miss Elliston went
through last night with your son is
not only heartbreaking but health
breaking. It any one of you had
been here you could perhaps real
ize it a little."
"And Dr. Thornton turned on hie
heel and left the room."
