Oregon A.a Independent Newapaper Published ery eranlnj except Sunday Telephone 81; newt tl GEORGE PUTNAM. Editor and Publisher Our Invisible Rulers Testimony at the Cleaver inquest, is making our invisible government, the Anti-Saloon League, visible by exposing its ef.'ort to control the politics of the state! Governor Pierce and Commissioner Cleaver have been but pawns in its hands and their use of the dry enforcement bureau to "get" and "frame" prominent persons for its political ends, with money furnished by the state, discloses its methods of operation. The office of state prohibition 'commissioner should be abjlished. It is a detriment, rather than an aid to enforce ment. As long as there is such an office, it will be dominated by the league for its own ends, and if the commissioner does no't take orders he will be framed and destroyed by the same methods the league uses him in its efforts to destroy others. We have the admissions of Mr. Cleaver, supplemented by his own letters, the testimony of the head of the Anti-Saloon League, of the federal dry commissioner, the various dis trict attorneys and sheriffs as to the league's aims, objects and operations and the evidence is sufficiently conclusive to justify the abolition of the meddlesome, trouble-making, costly, superfluous office, of state commissioner of prohibition. Though posing as a highly moral organization, and sup ported by the dollars of churchmen and the pennies of Sun day schools, for which it renders no accounting, the Anti Saloon League is an irresponsible fanatical secret, political agency, seeking control of government by intimidation, frame-up, spying and snooping on individuals. The saloons have Irnig since gone, but the league superintendents and attorneys are more prosperous than ever. It should be classed with other political parties and be made to publish its campaign expenditures as they do. Grain Gambling High prices for grain are a public calamity. They do not benefit the producer, they penalize the consumer and profit only the parasite the gambler, who neither toils nor spins, who has no part in growing, distributing or marketing but coins misery into money. Instead of putting the farmer on easy street high grain prices adil to his cmbarassmcnt, for long ago he was forced to sell his crop at a fraction of its value to pay his debts and maintain his credit, and now he must pay double for flour, mill feed and other supplies. ' Higher grain prices were forced by the law of supply and demand, through world shortage of wheat. Prices, however, were kept within reason until the wheat was out of the farmers' hands and in control of the speculative interests, when the orgy of speculation was inaugurated. The pro fessional manipulators have cleaned up, but the boom is con tinued by the general public, which a boom in anything, with its lure of easy money, always stampedes to a cleaning. In spite of abortive efforts at control and curtailment, by congress, efforts never effective because demagogic and insincere, gambling in necessities of life flourishes more luxuriantly than ever and the consumer pays the freight in increased cost of living. The Chicago grain pit is one of many of our cherished institutions whose purpose is to scientifically enrich a few at the expense of the many and to build up fabulous fortunes at the cost of the producing and consuming public. While its .prizes are those of the gambling table, its effect is to penalize i Silverton News KIHorton, J.in. 80 (Siccl.il) The tsilverton lire department wan called out early Wednesday inorn ins to Socund and JefftTHon street to ut out A chimney fire.

Articles not meeting these spe cifications will be rejected. To the Editor: Fleas give .me little space to express my views In regard to the proposed child labor law from tho farmer's standpoint. For instance, what will happen to our crops In harvesting time, or in the berry field? We have to look this mutter sijuaiely In the face. Could a farmer hire a man to pick his berries, and pay him, will nay 36 to 4()c a hour? He could only pick half as much, as a youngster under IS year. Of course berry picking Is generally done by piece work but could he make anything at It? We should say nut, as moat men ate not fitted to work in tho berry field, and don't care for It. Well, you might say, hire women of ciurs- they 21 n't be gotten al ways. Thtn it I up to the farmer and his wife or let his crop rot on the vine, as he could not make hi yomm-tters w-.irk. And this holds tine In .my otlK'r harvest, or work In the agriculture. In some caes where a fanner ha two or three lui.ky youngsters under 18 years some of I hem may be a RioJ Je.il stronger than daddy himself, and the youngsters looking on, would that be .t shame. U'h.-re will nil this lead to? t would Kite to know? If the young liters dni.'t learn to work while young, they surely don't learn it aflei v ard. Home ure too Iniy to work, they h.ie to live so they steal snj finally where will they bind? IKm't we read every day In the papers that Idleness Is the cause of all evil and wrtng doin. Now let us ask ournelfs did the work wo did while we were young do us any harm ? Why should it harm our children. If they work. It is sure beneficial to them for mind and body. I sincerely hop the Oregon leg .statute will adoit no such amend. TODAY'S CROSS WdRD PUZZLE I HORIZONTAL 1. Floral pollen bearing organs 8. Munlitul form of drain 10. Provided that I a.

There was a faint color in her chucks and her eyes had lost the glazed look that had been In them since the murder. 8he heard step In the hallway. The door op ened. Her face fell as Kichard Startnount appeared. "I thought It was Rod," she said in her uual tone of voice. "He has not been here since 1 awakened this morning and I've wanted him, wanted him to come, to tell me that all I remember Is but a hor rid draam." 'I am afraid, dear Mrs. Evans that It is not a dream." Kathlyn sat up in bed. "Dick, Rod has told you. He promised he would tell no one of our marriage but he has told you. Oh 1 am sure he does not love me any more." "I think Kathlyn that Rodney Evan loves vou more than most men do their wives. He told of your secret marriage because he did not want you to have to testi fy against him. He wanted to keep you off the witness stand." Testify against him! There la no reason for me to testify for or against him? Is there?" 'Rodney has been arrested for the murder of Elton Foj.s." 'Oh I knew It. I was ture of it," Kathlyn waited. "All this morn ing I have tried to deny It to my self. Alt this morning I have known the rejon why he did not come. Soon or late something would be found that would point the accusing finger toward Rodney." "Rut K.ithlyn, you know that Rodney did not do it." Tho woman on the bed moved uncomfortably. Instead of ftaying Yes I know that," she asked "Tell me Dick how can I help. You know I would give my life to helo you know yes, I would even take upon myself the blame of it all. "X was to blame Dick." Dick Starniount leaned forward eagerly. "I was to blame," she continued innocently, for she had no concep tion of what was In tlte lawyer s mind. In ber anxiety she had not noticed that he was regard. tig her with intense Interest. "You'aee when lloj got a little tired of uur anomalous marriage and went primrose hunting with Sada Fillmore. 1 felt a little for saken but I didn't say anything. Instead 1 went on working harder than ever until one night I met Elton Foss at the Lafjyette and renewed an acquaintance of other days. He asked me to dine and dance with him the next night and I accepted. Rod was busy putting on his new play and came to see me vry seldom. "I went out mote and more with Etton Foss oh Dick, what a terrible ending of all my idcaU of marriage, a marriage of two lov ing hearts. I thought if Rod and I did not let any of the sordiducsj and materialism of marriage creep in, our love would last and wo would be happy though married, until the end of the chapter." Suddenly Kathlyn started up. "Why am I lying here when Rod needs me ? He must think it strange that I have not been to see him. He must knDW that I would etanj by him through any thing. He must know that noth ing in the world he could do would keep me from loving him. Call Mil's Drown," she commanded. "Tell her to get Doctor Johnson on the wire and wty to hiin that I am going to Mr. Evans immediate ly. You must leave me now Dick. I want to dress. I must go to him right now." "That is the only thing Kathlyn of all others you must not do." "Not go -to Rod? Surely Dick you would not keep me from my husband." "I am going to keep you from him and everyone else just as long as I can. Kathlyn, the moment you are known to be able to see anyone police officers will be hers to take your finger prints. If they are identical wi'.h those on the gun that was in Foss pocket nothing can save you not even Rod." "But, Dick, save me save me from what?" "Kathlyn you must realize that I am your fiieni, that I am trying to help you but you must tell me the truth. If the gun went off in your hand accidentally and killed Fo?s you must tell me about It." Vo:ds choked in Kathlyn Evans throat and a loik of abject terror came into her eyes. "Does Rod be lieve that? Did Rod tell you that?'' "Nw, Kathlyn, I don't think that he has acknowledged to anyone, not even to himself that you could by any possibility be guilty. He has told nie the story as It hap pened the whole story. You know that you threatened Foss and then a gun went off and the man crumpled at the foot of the steps. Whoever killed Elton Foss, your husband has been arrested fur the murder. Of course I shall do every thing I can to free him from this charge but if the worst comes I shall depend on you." "I am glad Rod told you that he believed me innocent, for no one know better than he that I did not five tho shot that killed Elton Foss. Go back to him Dick, and tell him I have regained conscious ness and will not be happy until I can see him. "Now what shall I do. Tomorrow For Love's Sake.
