Oregon An Independent Newtpaper Published evtry arenlng except Sunday Telephone 81; newi 81 GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor end Publisher Five Out of Six Right Five out of six of the Marion county members of the legislature oppose ratification of the child labor amendment giving congress power "to limit, regulate and prohibit the labor of persons under 18 years of age." Consequently they are being made the targets of a persistent campaign of propaganda in favor of the measure by well meaning senti mentalists who are under the usual delusion of reformers that all that is necessary to purify the world, abolish sin and save the race is to pass a sumptuary law on the subject. In opposing the child-labor amendment, however, these Marion legislators are simply reflecting the sentiments of their constituency. The legislators themselves owe their success in life to habits of work and industry they acquired in youth, taught by stern necessity and in the perspective' of the years, are grateful that no child labor law interfered with their destiny. Pick out the leaders in any city or county, in profession or industry, and you will find that nine-tenths of them began work before the age limitation set by this amendment, and many of thera own their success to the early start thus obtained. If higher education was of any value to them, they cbtained it later even though self instructed. Where the uplifters make their mistake, is in the assump tion that education up to the age of 18 is an advantage or a necessity, when on most of us it is absolutely wasted, on account of mental limitations. Education is not a substitute for intelligence, for there is no substitute for brains, which are a matter of inheritance. The more incapacity is pam pered, the more the incapacity. Nor is education a cure or preventive for feeble-mindedness. This is also an inheritance Many of the arguments advanced for the measure are in violation of biological law. The main objection to the child-labor amendment, however. is that it is destructive of state and family rights and creates a centralized tyranny of bureaucracy. It is another step towards the socialized federal state to supercede local 30lt government. lne Marion legislators are right in opposing it. They should ntand-pat for its defeat. The French Debt Repudiation of French war indebtedness to the United States is bound to come, if the United States persists in its uncompromising attitude, as forecasted by Senator Borah's speech. As chairman of foreign relations, his utterances outline administration policy. Repudiation will be forced because of popular attitude in France and all that is necessary is the overthrow of the Horriott ministry and the triumph of the left in the next election, which would definately ally France with Russia. This possible, if not probable repudiation, is the greatest cloud on the peace and prosperity horizon of the world. If it materializes it will precipitate a world financial, industrial and political crisis, resulting in a prolonged period of depression, even if war does not follow. For this reason, commonsense and compromise should rule Washington. The French believe, and with good grounds, that most of its war debt should be forgiven, because of war losses. While other nations lost money and men, France suffered devnsta tion and ruin, which offset the losses of other nations. The money loaned by the United States was entirely expended in the United States and was part of our contribution to the allied cause. It is physically and materially impossible for France to pay her entire war debt, just as it was for Germany to pay the reparations bill first presented. It is demagogic to talk of collecting it, for one cannot get blood out of a turnip or a fortune out of a pauier. Until this debt is reasonably scaled down and an agreement reached, settling the whole problem of allied indebtedness, unrest and uncertainty will grow and hatred of the United States as the Shylock among nations will increase until it permeates the world. The United States did not enter the war for profit, but for self-preservation and self-defense, and the part of France which bore the brunt of sacrifice in men and property, should receive due consideration, the more because of our altruistic professions upon entering the conflict.

"I know It, Evans by mistake put Kathtyn's run in Yzm pocket Then whoae gun is this?" Kirby demanded wildly. "That's for you to find out, Jim. Take it and se If It was bought in this city." "In the meantime, Dick, the po lice will be hunting th owner of the other gun. They will find that It la Kathlyn's. all of which will work apnlnat Rodney, for they will say that it would have been very cany for him to krive her uun in his 1io.hr ess: on." Kirby dropped the revolver In his pocket as the waiter came in. "I think, Dick," he said over hteir coffee and cigarettes, "that I am eolng to hunt up Vernon Sted man tonight. I can't g?t an infor mation about who owns this gun until morning." "Vernon Stedman! What do you mean about Vernon Stedman? lit- isn't in this." 'Well, he's short and thick -net. and he had a terrible battle rishi on the floor of the exchange after Fos had practically ruined him yesterday. Stedman lout complete control of himself and went for him. The men were pulled apart and held by thctr friends. It was then that Stedman broke looae and threatened Koss. It was all In i the papers this afternoon, Lick." 'I haven't had a chance to read the pajera," answered St.-trmount ! vearily. I 'Well, the reporters beat the j cops to Stedman He wasn't able to tell where he was last nlht, that is, he had no alibi that will hold, and he Us now under the sur veillance of the police." i 'That's interesting.' ejacu.ited Dick. "That might almost coun teract tho thumb pilntn on the gun." "XMhing. Dick, will counteract those thumb prints. U fs the most damning evidence nahist your friend It jdney. When Miss Leon ard is able to have her finger printj taken she will probably be arrested as accesnery to the mur der for they say there Is a woman's thumb pr.nt on Ihe handle of the gun." "If she Is arrested. Rodney will confess the crime and that Is the whole thing. Rodney In the bet friend I ever had in the whole world. I iove him like a brother. I don't think he had anything to do with this inuider an 1 I'm going to prove him innocent in pt,e of himself. Evejl if I have to con vict Kathlyn Iv on ird Eva 113 to do thia I'm fully determined lo carry it through to the end." "Well, why didn't Kathlyn Leon ard admit that she kil'ed htm. Hhc had a good reason for shooting him. A woman like Mrs. Ivans would aho-jt a man only for one thing and everyone- considers a woman Justified in protecting her honor. I wonder that she didn't admit Immediately." "Perhaps she did admit It to Rodney, If she did he would die in the electric chair before he would tell even me. He has a foolish Idea about wanting her mixed in the case any more than can be helped." With this, fltarmount rose from the table and with characteristic gesture shoved both hands in his! coat pockets. "Mood L-jr J." he J exclaimed, "I forgot to give these letters and telegrams to Rod. 1 1 rhould hae given thr-m to him' this morning. I think I'll drop over to the hospital and drive Rod' to his club. I'd like to make nitre that he Is going to have a little1 leep toni-jht." ' Alt right. Pick. I'll be around as soon as poabible in the morning. I Just want you to know, though, that I'm passing up a darn good story for friendship's sake. Good bye, don't expect me until 1 get here. J It may take some time to follow up all the threads you've given me tonight." "When we've gotten to the bot tom of It and cleared Rodney you may have the bi'ge.ft piece you have ever writ ten. No one else .shall have a whack at It." Dick found Rodney Ju.st pre paring to leave the hospital. He Htemci pathetically glad to see his friend again. T: was go.tl .of you to come, Dlik." he said. "They won't let me stay any longer. " Oh, Dick, I think he m a 1-ttle better. The doctor said her. temperature has gone down a half a degree. He told me to tell you he could not wait to see you." "T.iat'a good. R id. You can go homo n-iw and sleep. "I wish I could sleep. I'd like to forget for a little while." "Here are some letters and tele grams that came to the studio this Morning. Do you think you had letter open them when we get back to your rooms at the club?" "I'll open the telegram anyway, Dick," R id eaid as ho took his hat and cane and passed out the door. Staramouut returned to his apart ment. The next morning Starmount was awakened by the ringing of his telephone bell. "Is that you Dick' came over the wire In Jim Kirby's voice. "Yes. You awakened me out of a sound sleep." "I Just wanted to te;i you that the gun belongs to yjur friend Rodney Evans." 'My God! What was he doing with a gun ?"
