GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor and Publisher
PANTOMIME By J. H. Striebel I A Plea For Willamette
Tw6 In the Field :
Altho the presidential campaign ia still two years away,
two multi-millionaires are already maneuvering for position,
William Randolph Hearst, who though not a Democrat,
Beeks the Democratic nomination, through control of the
press ; and Henry Ford who hasn't made up his mind as to
which nomination he wants, but will try for both. As un
limited funds are back of each, we can expect organized!
campaigns to purchase the presidency.
In this campaign the advantage lies with Ford, for Hearst
cannot control more than a fraction of the press, no matter
how many papers he buys and how many he establishes, and
his personal propaganda is so apparent that it defeats itself.
The antagonisms that he has aroused militate against his
success. He is not apt to get much further than he did in
1908 when he made a costly but futile fight for the Demo
cratic nomination.
Henry Ford has been running for president for some time.
His libel suit against the Chicago Tribune, which cost him a
million was for the purpose of bluffing the newspapers into
saying nice things about him, lest they face a heavy damage
suit and as a result we have such papers as the Oregonian
paying to print flattering accounts of his career. His antir
Jewish propaganda was designed to win votes through appeal
to racial prejudice. His Dearborn Weekly's mission is to keep
him before the public. His loudly proclaimed high wage and
short hours are bids for the labor vote, and his advocacy of
the demonitization of gold is for the purpose of winning the
old populist agrarian element.
Ford is utilizing his wonderful business organization,
which extends into all part3 of the country, with some 7,000
agents, to pull his political chestnuts out of the fire, much
as he utilized them to refinance himself a couple of years ago
by forcing them to pay for cars they could not sell under
penalty of losing the agencies. These- agents are supposed
to boom the circulation of the Dearborn Weekly and to
organize "Ford for President" clubs and materialize a demand
for "We want Henry." Agents must pay for advertising of
Ford products that carries Ford's picture, thus booming
Ford's personality at others expense.
Ford is an illiterate business genius of production whose
god is money and still more money. His philanthropy is
principally for advertising. His interest in labor is limited
to output and he speeds it up by machinery. The line of
production moves at so many feet a minute and flesh and
blood must kee on the jump to keep up with it. Yet some
how or other he has managed to capture the public imagin
ation and will be a formidable candidate
The campaign promises to be, an interesting one which will
shatter all precedent and demoralize party alignments.
Neither Hearst nor Ford have anything to lose and both stand
to win by the advertising secured.

The Regeneration of
Malcolm Starmount
By Idah McGlone Gibson.
Ending Auto Tragedies
Despite numerous laws and complicated codes to end auto
traffic accidents and insure highway safety, the lists of
deaths continue to mount up while the hospitals are filled
with the maimed and the injured.
"Government after all is a very simple thing" declared Mr,
Harding before his election he has changed his mind since
and eliminating auto smashes and casualties is also a very
simple thing, but officials seem anxious to try everything
except the right thing.
The one preventative that experience has proven will end
violations of the laws of the road and insure safety both to
the driving public and to the pedestrian, is a jail sentence for
.violation. Abolish the fine, eliminate the admonition, and
enforce the jail and prison sentence, and there will be a sur
prising surcease of auto disaster.
Nine-tenths of the fatalities and smashes are caused by
deliberate violations of the code, by the road hogs and those
willing to "take a chance." Excessive speed and carelessness
will be eliminated when the driver realizes that a term in
jail awaits him and there will be mighty few chances taken.
This has been proven in city after city where it has been
tried out, for when the autoist finds out that the courts mean
business, he becomes law abiding.

Home is a place where some people make life comfortable.
A reckless automobile driver ia merely a "jay walker" on

Some women would rather have big feet than not to have
high insteps.
A lot of married men are perfectly satisfied to be treated
like one of the family.
The mother of a large family probably wonders whether
she is a mother or a refugee.
Women are said to be too weak for housework, and the
men are not strong for it, either.

A Chance in Life
When Malcolm Starmount said:
"I 'm through," Nalda Courtency
looked at him for a moment uncer
tainly and then her eyea wandered
out toward the porch where someone
was singing a queer old Irish air.
"So that is why you are through!"
she shrilled. "Well, I'll have the
purity society down here immediate
ly. That girl is just a child."
Starmount started toward her with
his hand upraised.
Ted Parker slipped between them.
"I would not talk like that, Miss
Courteney," he said gently. "Miss
Devlin is here with her mother and
her brother under the protection of
her - guardian, Mr. Starmount, and
myself, the executor of her estate."
"Oh, all right 1 All right! Execu
tor of her estate, indeed! Why that
girl didn't have any more than
enough clothes on her back to cover
her nakedness when she came down
here. That sounds fine, but, of
course, you know it don't go with
me."
"I am afraid it will have to go
with you, Miss Courteney, and it
will have to go with everyone, for
it is the truth. As Mr. Starmount's
ward, Miss Devlin, of course you
realize, is heir to quite an estate.
Shall I escort you to your carl''
Ted Parker opened the door and
stood deferentially to let her pass.
'I don't know what you are try
ing tfl do, but I know something's
crooked and I want you to know
this: Malcolm Starmount can't pass
me up, the way he has all the other
women he's known. I'm going to
make him pay."
"If it comes to that, Misa Courte
ney, I think he has paid and paid
well.".
"That will be for the courts to
deci.de, Mr. Parker." The lady floun
ced 'through the door and entered
her car.
"She is going to be your enemy
for lif.o, Mai," commented Parker as
he came back.
"Well, we will soon find out just
what she can do. I wish something
would happen quick. I don't like this
uncertainty."
"It always has seemed to me,' Mai,
that it is the uncertainty of life
and living that makes ail the trou
ble. I am going to forget it a bit
and try to get a little sleep."
' AH right; I am going to see
Mary and her mother."
Parker watched Starmount for
minute as he strode down the hall
and remarked the fact that already
his friehd's shoulders were set at a
more decided angle since they had
real responsibility resting upon them
Here is , Mr. Starmount, Ma,
Mary announced as she opened the
door to Malcolm's light knook
Mrs. Devlin tried to lift her head
from the pillow, but found she lack
od the strength and contented her
self by extending a slender, blue
veined work-worn hand.
"You have been more than good
to us, sir. I cannot realize yet that
am here in this beautiful place
and that my children are with me.'
i nope, Mrs. Devlin, that' you
will regard this as one of your homes
ns long as you live. I am going to
send you up in the Adirondack to
morrow, however, to see if you can
not get rid of that cough and get
some strength back."
"I almost feel as though I'd rath
er stay here, sir. It is the first time
my life that I have been able
to rest in comfort."
"you will be just ns comfortable
up there. I am sending your nurse
with you and you will have every
comfort on the way. Besidos, the
doctors say that both Mary and Ed
die have weak lungs, but they think
a shor,t stay up there with the open
air regime will cure them."
It was with envy that Malcolm
saw the change that instantly came
over the woman on the bed. She
seemed endowed with a surprising
energy. Tais time sne rose to a sit
ting posture and put her hands out
to 8tarmount.
'I'll go. I'll do anything if the
children can be made healthy and
happy."
She was taken with a violept fit
of roughing but after the nurse had
ministered to her and it had sub
sided a little, she whispered weakly:
You see, air, it does not matter
much about me. My life is ov
But Mary and Eddie's are just
beginning. Oh, Mr. Starmount, sure
ly God will reward you if you will
give my girl and boy the chance
they deserve."
Starmount never had seen that
look of self-sacrificing motherhood
on the face of a woman before. He
had a great pity for himself as he
realized that hi 9 own mother had
only borne him. Beal motherhood
never had come to her, and he had
suffered.
"Both you and your children shall
have more than your chance, Mrs.
ievnn. You all will have everv
possible advantage that I and my
money can give."
A little hand slipped into his as
Mary came from the foot of the bed
and leaned against him.
"My Lord," she whispered. ':
Starmount's arm went around her.
He drew her closer to him. Look
ing straight into the fever-bright
eyes of the woman before him, he
said, solemnly: "May your God, Mrs.
Devlin, treat me as I shall, treat
your children. Hereafter the. wor
ry of their getting their chance in
life, is taken from you." j ,., ,

' It has' been said that "the great

ful thing, but unless' the soul of
man is awakened he must lack
faith, power, originality and am
bition those vital qualities that
make man a real producer. The
great need of the hour is to
strengthen this human founda
tion.
For eighty years Willamette
university has been doing this
thing.
It has been said that the Wil
lamette university is on trial. On
trial for what? To ascertain as to
whether or not It is worthy of fur
ther existence T
"Oh, nonsense," says one.
Where We All Benefit.
But do you hear the mob out
side crying "Crucify him! Crucify
him! It belongs to the Methodists.
Why should we give to keep It
alive? Wherein, are we bene
fitted?"
We get no less -comfort from the
fact that the sky is blue because
the blind man says he cannot eee
it.
Let us examine the evidence,
We learn from Blackstone com
meutaries-"that upon the law of
nature and the law of revelation
depends all human law. That the
Creator has laid down the eternal
Immutable laws of good and evil
to which the Creator himself, In
all his dispensations conforms
and which he has enabled human
reason to discover, so far as they
are necessary for human action
Three Principles Vital.
Among others are these three
principles, that we should live
honestly, owe nobody and should
render to every one his dues, to
which three general principles
Justinian has reduced the whole
doctrine of law.
What la law? It has been de

The Willamette university has
stood for 80 long years at the part
ing of the ways between good and
evil. It has for 80 lone years ex
tended a Deckoning call to the
young manhood and young wom
anhood throughout the Pacific
northwest, to choose the good way
and avoid the eyil way. It rep
resents the widespread aspirations

its teachings tend to awaken
the soul of man, the vital uilng
that makes a man a power and a
eal producer. It is the lack of
this thing that has caused such a
chaotic condition throughout the
world today.
The rulers have for years ae
pressed the " common people
through greed for power and pos
session of property that they nev
er earned. They have traveled the
road of evil In search of pleasure
and conquest, until, the common
people, the work and woe of ev
ery nation, have become crazed
and sick and sore at heart and
have refused to longer abide by
the rule of action governing hu
man conduct of their country.
When 51 per cent of the people of
any country refuses to be governed
by the law of their country, the
government is overthrown and all
business ceases and bloodshed and
untold suffering prevails through
out the entire county. Under euch
a state of affairs the individual
loses faith, power, originality and
ambition, the vital qualities which
make a man a real producer and
a defender of his country.
Ignorance Breeds Lawlessness-
Under such a state of affairs
property values of all kinds would
rapidly depreciate. Real estate
titles would be of little value,
stocks of goods protected as they
are now by plate glass windows,
would be soon distributed among
the mob. The eight million dol
lars now in the four Salem banks
would be taken from their vaults
and distributed among the victors.
The real measure of protection of
our property is not vaults and
buildings but the appreciation of
our people of the laws of good and
evil, to the end that we desire to
live honestly, hurt nobody,' and
render to everyone his dues.
This Willamette university that
is now on trial has stood at the
parting of the ways of good and
evil for eighty long years and has
gathered up the diamonds and
rubles of our young manhood and
womanhood and has run them
through the factory, if you please,
and has fitted them for a higher.
broader and more noble purpose in
life and has quickened to power

This is not all of the processes
of this factory. For 80 years the
directors have taken out the ac

factory and have distributed the
net proceeds among tha'citizens of
Salem until last year that dis
tributed sum amounted to about
four hundred and fifty thousand
dollars.
These same directors tell us that
if the citizens of Salem will do

Salem 11,260,000 and that within
a few veara this factory will be

factory for all time and give all
