Capitelournal Salem, Oregon An Independent Newspaper, Published every evening except Sundaj Telephone 81; news 82 GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor and Publisher Why Not the Grange? The Oregon Journal which sobs for the political farmer as for unionized labor, rushes to the defense of the Qrange for having filed forged and fraudulent petitions for an in come tax measure to go upon the November ballot. Says the Journal "Neither the Oregon State Grange nor its com mittee is in the slightest degree respoosible for the petition frauds. It is such of the circulators as forged names and resorted to otheixrrooked work that should be brought to a reckoning." In other words, the "agent and not the principal and beneficiary should be punished for the crime. The Grange is the responsible party and should be held to account. It had ample membership and means at its disposal to honestly conduct a campaign for signatures if there was really the sentiment for the bill claimed, but preferred instead to hire professionals who make a business of commercializing the initiative. Unless the principals are held responsible in these cases, similar -frauds will continue. " Principal and agent should both be punished. . Morever when the true character of the petition signa tures was called to the attention of the Grange officials in court and admitted by them a3 fraudulent, they refused to withdraw them and forced further proofs to invalidate all signatures in the hope that there would be enough valid signatures left to keep the bill on the ballot, thereby indicat ing their willingness to profit by the fraud perpetrated. . The Grange pbliticial committee is composed of prof es . sional salaried politicians who farm the farmers and are old ; hands at the initiative and referendum, attend 'every session of the legisuature, organize Non-Partisan Leagues, and take advantage of every point in the game. They are not the guileless and innocent parties represented by the Journal. Moreover.Vit is questionable which was., the, worst the ' fraudulent Detitions or the, freak income tax bill they . , fostered' by fraud. """ ' l(2i Being prompt is as much a virtue as J ing honest. " - j Loafing is the only thing that really Aires a busy man. Fat men seem to get more out of life than fat women. Congress is slowly but liberty out of existence. surely "regulating" ' ' Most of the applause given to speakers is sup plied by the least intelligent in the crowd. A girl with many pdmirers never quite gets over it when she marries and finds she has to be satisfied with one.

I "Inc. , A A A A A A A HAT HAPPENED When Sheila Elliston Refused Love By ID AH McGLONE GIBSON WSi PANTOMIME By J. H. Striebel Unjust Reflection On Eolk County (From the Pollt County Itemizer) ! Statements eminatlng mainly from the ' office of Federal Prohibition Officer Linvilie and given publici ty through Portland' and Salem newspapers as a result of the trag edy at Grand Konde Sunday mom; ing, do Polk comity a. rank injust ice. One unfamiliar' with the true situation would be led to believe this county was the dampest and most lawless in the whole Btato. Quite the contrary Is true. People in a position to observe conditions here und elsewhere know that Polk county is one of the cleaneBt, if not the cleanest, county in the state in the matter of law violation of all kinds, and particularly as regards the state and federal liquor laws. Without exception there is no sher iff in Oregon who has been more , energetic or eonscentious in enforc ing the prohibition laws than John Orr. Moonshiners and bootleggers themselves will tostify to that ef fect. " .., Up to the present instance Polk county has not had a- murder case to try in mors than ' eigtit years. Few criminal cases of any kind are ever on the circuit docket and many terms, of court go by without the grand jury being called. The coun tyjail is' often vacant for months at a time. It is not to be denied, however, that somo moonshiuing and boot legg'ag in carried on in this county, but whenever information suffi cient to warrant action is placed in the hands of the officers they act promptly and without hesitation. The courts of the county invariably co-operate with the officers and im )Oho stiff sentences on convicted violators. No class of people are quicker, generally, to criticise the officers of a city or county ftir laxity in law enforcement than what is known as 1he "chnrch element." Criticism of Sheriff Orr or the other officers of this county for not doing their duty it seldom heard from any of these people. To the contrary, the follow ing statements from the ministers of this city show tho esteem in which Polk county's sheriff is held by them: We, tho undersigned pnaforg of the evangelical churches of Dallas, resent the recently published state ments that reflect lfpon law enforce ment in PoHc county. Wo consider Sheriff John W. Orr and his depu ties efficient officers and eonscien tiotis in their efforts to keep moon shining, bootlegging, gambling and other forms of vice at a minimum in Polk county. - Signed: REV. A. L. LOX&BERRY, I'astor Kvangelical Church, C. F. TRIMBLE, Minister Christian Church JOIIN E.- YOTJEL, ' Pastor Presbyterian Church. FRANK JAMES, . Pastor Methodist Church. In connection with alleged viola tions of the liquor laws in the vi cinity of Grando Bondo, it should be remembered that that town lies close to the PorK-Yamhill county line. In fact, old Grando Konde is in Yamhill and new Grande Ronde is in Polk. ' , ... Had Dr. Linvilie and his officers saw fit to consult with Sheriff Orr and had invited his co-operation in cleaning up the "awful conditions" alleged to have existed in this coun ty, instead of trying to take all the glory for themselves, thore would have been no fatal shooting at Grande Rondo. Officers dealing with Indians should know Indians and the local conditiVs that auriound them. Upon the shoulders of Dr. Linville and his subordinates them selves lies much of the blame for the killing of Price and Todd. POSTAL SAVINGS DEPOSITS INCREASE Washington, Sept. 15.

A Mesasge From Susanna That little poem helped me more than anything else over the dark place of my life and I was giatt to know that Sheila was "faring, that tliafl entaii; davs that she and Phil were living were theirs far all eter nity. I was sure or this for or i thought that somehow, somewnere. sometime, I should not look into Blake's eyes again, feel his ready smile radiatinz my life, I should so mad. Our lives had dropped into a kina of auiet end peaceful content when by special messenger one morning Susanne Jonos sent me a little note and asked mo to call -upon her I would come to see you, my dear Mrs. - Wilmington, only my grief is so recent that it is an effort for me to moot anyone except the people it is absolutely necssary to meet. Yau, I am sure, can under stand it. . ' " ' ' I feel, however, that' Ir have some thing vfery important to say to you, something that concerns .not only you, but. those you- love;. Again I had an intuition, I had not heard from the detective about the pictures although the time bad gone beyond the date when he had promised to communicate with me. I made up my mind togo and see him. the next day. I was sure that t was in connection with these pic- ures that Susanne wished to speak to me. ' ' 1 ' I did not tell either Sheila or Phil that I had heard from fjusanne-as I knew that they were going to the mountains for the week-end but returned a note to Miss Jones, by the messenger jsayingUhat I'wffuld call upon her Saturday .if that would be convenient' to her. I felt like a conspirator as I bade Sheila and Phil goodbye on Satur- dya morning. , ; - "Wish you were coming with us,' Phil beamed heartily, and I was sure that he.s;yke truthfully. . Sheila whispered as she kisBed. me "It is too .good to be true Kay dear. ' ' " And I answered: "Nothing 3 too good to be true, just as nothing is too bad to, be false. - ; Susanne Jones must have been waiting for me when I called that afternoon. I was ushered directiv into' what . I decided was her room so characteristic of her it was. Long before this I had decided that Susanne' Jones was a sort of female Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Her room confirmed my decision. It was . a mixture of the most austere decoration and the most lux urious and sensuous furniture I had ever encountered. On the walls were hung her dec orations from a number of foreign governments, a picture of Rheims cathedral in all its superb glory be fore the war, and one of its shatter ed ruins taken after; a- few small, very much worn rugs on the dark wood floor and then over-stuffed furniture, into which you sank into billows of softness; two day-beds piled with cushions boxes of sweet meats and fruits on low tables be side them, the latest novels strewn about the room. That was all. It was a room of distinctly two characters. One that was ruthless decision and masculine in the courage of- carrying out the direct plan. The other a passionate sen suous nature, selfish and self -centered." Susanne Jones was standing bj the mnntel as I entered and not withstanding all that I thought 1 knew of her, I still did not wondei at Phil's confession that, had he not met Sheila, he would have prob ably married Susanno. She wa very beautiful in an ar rogant, impressive way but today thore was- a look of determination upon her face that made her beauty diabolically formidable. Her face changed quickly and visibly soften ed as sho saw me I had a feeling that the change was made con sciously; that she intended me only to seo her softest side. I am so glad you have .come Mrs. Wilmington, and you are look ing so well. I do hope you will par don me for asking you to come to me instead of my going to you, but beside the reason tha-t I gav'e, thought we would be more secluded here." "You need not have been afraid of meeting Sheila and Phil," I re plied suavely .i "They have- gone oat into) the country..; They are still that stage of the honeymoon where they are happiest when' they-are far from the maddening Crowd. Susanne Jones caught her under lip as she said: "I am" glad Phil happy and it. is because I am afraid that his happiness might not last, that I asked you to come here "I consider Phil one of my best friends and I do not want anything to happerf that will mar the joy that he naturally expects to find in his bride." , .- , She paused but I did not question was determined that she . should have no help from me. " "I am quite sure," she continued suavely after the pause had become rather uncomfortable, "that being such a good friend qf Mrs. Wal ton's you must know the unfortun ate - circumstances tnat linked my family with the young woman Phil has married. Mrs. Walton told me a sad story that gave mo to understand that it was very unfortunate for Sheila," 1 interpolated dryly. Although . Susanne colored,, she went on. "Aiy brother Walter, young lmprossion.able, and under her care While ill, fell in' love with y6ui brother's wife.

But we never it exemplified more attract ively than in the person of a splendidly healthy woman. How does nature paint thisj health? Why. in the rosy cheeks, the transparent skin, the sroeth red lips- ot such a woman. And she molds It in firm flesh and round ed contours.
