The Exposition Again
World fair boomers at Portland have at last discovered
some flexible anniversaries that need celebration by an expo
sition, altho the date has not yet been determined upon. We
quote from the official pamphlet as follows:
The Pacific Empire Exposition Invites the World to this vast
region ot undeveloped resources, and scenic wonders, to participate In
a galaxy ot historical anniversaries the birth ot our flag, adinlBaion
ot Oregon to statehood, national liberty and world peace.
The first American flag, consisting of a Union Jack in
one corner and thirteen stripes was raised at Cambridge,
Massachusetts, January 2, 1776, and on June 14, 1777 the
Continental Congress adopted a flag with 13 stripes and 13
stars in a blue field instead of the Union Jack. June 1027 will
therefore be the 150th anniversary of the birth of Old Glory.
Oregon was admitted to statehood February 14, 1859 and
1929 will therefore be the 70th anniversary of admission.
National Liberty was proclaimed by the Declaration of
Independence July 4, 1776, tho not actually achieved until
some years later. The year 1026 will be the 150th anni
versary of the Declaration of Independence.
World peace has not yet been achieved. There is fighting
in progress in Albania, in India, in Georgia, in Morrocco and
in China, and punitive expeditions in the field in Egypt and
the Sudan, Algeria, Persia and Russia. So the first anni
versary of world peace has yet to be discovered but the
exposition boosters are tireless explorers in the realms of
history and can be counted upon to manufacture a few more
anniversaries if necessary.
We are informed that at a preliminary meeting held
recently in Portland "it was unanimously decided that the
West Coast states should hold an exposition and invite all
rations to participate," and that there will be no serious
difficulties in financing the project up to $5,000,000 "if the
public makes good its promises and gets squarely behind it."
That is just the trouble. There is no evidence of the
public's promising the millions. It is easy for a bunch of
boomers to proclaim themselves, like the three tailors of
Tooley street, "we, the people," but Unit doesn't provide the
cash, altho we are told "if you have faith, God will grant it"
(the exposition).
There is no objection to Portland's staging an exposition
provided the taxpayers of the stale are not called upon to
supply the wherewithal. Cut an exposition is not needed to
stimulate tourist travel or colonization. The advertising
being done in behalf of the northwest and our fine highway
systems are increasing tourist traffic as rapidly as facilities
are provided to take care of its increase and population is
increasing as economic development justifies.
Boom and inflation and, their aftermath of depression,
the principal products of expositions, are not worth the cost.
The flag will manage to wave, the state to develop, liberty to
be curtailed and world's peace continue a will-o-the-wisp,
without expositions to commemorate them.
Well Done
Great credit is due President Cbolidge for his firm refusal
to sanction the re-entrance of the United States in the
competitive naval armament race among nations. No one
action could be more convincing of the nation's earnestness
and sincerity for peace.
The way to peace does not lie through armament and any
extensive program of armament would be evidence of bad
faith and only spur other nations to equal or exceed it
and the mad rivalry that kept Europe an armed camp and
culminated in tho world war, would continue on a greater
scale and wider field than ever.
The President also believes that the way to economize is
to economize. He understands that taxes can not be reduced
as long as the treasury is thrown open to the raids of jingoes.
Besides the money spent on armament is largely wasted, for
in the rapid advance of warfare science, the costly warships
are obsolete before completion.
Great Britain's new battleships, built on lines of a floating
fortress and airdrome, will revolutionize navies and render
obsole" the dreadnaught as the dominant factor of sea
warfare. Airships, bombs, submarines and gas are the
weapons of the future and war is being made so terrible that
it spells annihilation of populations.
The only hope of humanity lies in establishing world peace
and in substituting courts for armed might and the
President's program is along this line.

THE CONFESSION
Rodney Evans stood easing
down into the fuce of Kathlyn
Leonard aa sho stopped speaking.
Fo: an Imperceptible second he
hesitated. Then he said, as though
to reoa-jtire her: "Someone must
have shot him almost instantly
after you had shut yo-ir door.
What wo must do now Is to look
for the person who killed Elton
Fosa. I know a reporter that Is
better than any detective in unrav
eling thess affairs, I'll call him
In on the case."
"Oh, don't do that! Don't do
that, Rodney!" the girl exclaimed
with such terror .hat with the
greatest tenderness he took the lit
tie pale face bJiwean his two hands
saying:
"I wont if you do not want It.
dearest," he promised, while be
fore hU eyes was the picture of
that at the op?n door, vividly clear
in the shaft of light, saying: "Go!
Go, beforo I kill yuu!"
'Don't worry, dear, It will all
come out right. It can't help but
come right. Tho man deserved to
die. He only got what woe coming
to him," Rodney said solemnly.
'Yes, dear, I'm sure of that
but, oh, when I think I am to
blame tor It all."
"Yob, but 1 ubjected you to this,
Kathlyn. My name would have
protected you,"
"You know, Rodney, that I re
fused to bear it," whispered Kath
lyn softly.
"But I should not have allowed
you to carry out such a mad plan."
"I think you nre right, Rod
ney," and her hea l dropped lower
on his breaflt in utter weariness
and dejection.
"I must leave now and you must
KO to bed, Tako your receiver off
the hook and do not open the door
to anyono unless I give the accus
tomed sienal."'
"Cat someone might come from
the polics station."
"No, they won't. At least, net
until I return. I am going to go
now and get hold of Uick Star
mount. He's one of the cleverest
lawyers in tills town and be be
lieves in both of us."
"Do wo have to have a lawyer,
Rodney?-'
"Why, of course we do. If we
don't, th) prosecutirt will mix u-s
up so that they will make the
truth so2in lies."
"And what wo want," Kathlyn
said to herself, "la someone who
will ma'te the lies seen truth."
Kissing her again. Rodney Ev
ans let himself out the door.
Arriving at his room at the
club ha telephoned Dick Star
mount. "Who Is it? Whit do you
want?" a slespy voice asked belli
gerently. "It's I Rodney Enms."
"What do you want at this hour
of the morning. Rod?"
"Something terrible has happen
ed. Will yo i come downe hero to
me at the club or will X come up
to your rooms? I ned the best
lawyer In town, avC I've come to
you."
"Good heavens, Rod, that sounds
serious."
"It is serious."
"Then you had better come to
me."
"All right. Ill be over in fif
teen minutes."
In less than that, Rodney Evans
knocked at the door ot Richard
Starmount's apartment. It was
quickly opened by Stanuount him
self. "What's the matter, old man?
Your message frightened me."
"Elton Fuss was murdered last
night In front of K ithlyn's studio,
and I will probably he arretted for
it after tho inquest."
"What! Did you do It!"
"I'm not uro whether I did or
not."
"What do you mean, not sure?"
"When Elton Fobs' body was
found In front of Kathlyn's door
by tho police both she and I were
bending over It."
"How did you get there?"
- "You know what a terrible storm
there was last night. No one was
on the street. Very late, I drove
my car into the garage around the
corner, and with my overcoat up
around niy ear I ran quickly to
way Kathlyn's studio. Just as I
got there the door opened and El
ton Foas, damn him, came lurch
ing out. Behind him, silhouetted
In the brilliant light, vast Kathlyn.
"Ha told her he was going :ack
Into the room. She answered that
she would kill him if he attempt
ed to do so. He started. At that
moment there was the most ter
rific peal of thunder I have ever
heard.
"At it died away I seemed to
hear something metallic hit the
pavement, and with it Foss crump
led and full in a huddled heap.
"Kathlyn looked at him for a
moment and an automatic revolv
er dropped from her fingers. Turn
ing she went In and closed the
door."
"My God, do you think Kathlyn
killed him?"
"No. I did."
