Newspaper Page TextPAGE FOUR THE CAPITAL JOU KfrAL, SALEM, OREGON SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1925 Capital jiJournal Salem, Oregon la Independent Newspaper Published erery eTenlng except Sunday Telephone II; newt (1 GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor end Publisher It 'Is to Laugh Testimony given before the legislative committee investi satin i'rohibition Commissioner Cleaver's regime shows that several thousand dollars were spent by Abe Weinberg, fugitive from justice from New York for a brief period, until his apprehension and arrest, imported as investigator ar.d spy for the Anti-Saloon League, in its law enforcement work. This money was spent in dives and speak-easies, in bi-ying drinks for bootleggers and in entertaining inmates of bawdy houses as the evidence shows. It is disclosed that $1,500 of state funds were turned over to Superintendent Herwig of the league by Governor Tierce and Mr. Cleaver at the time of Weinberg s meteoric oper ations, thoucrh neither Herwig nor Weinberg were employed by the state in any official capacity. The presumption is, of course that part of the money Weinberg riotously threw around in $100 tips to prostitutes and dive habitues came from the state funds and the balance, Mr. Herwig admits, "from private sources," meaning probably money contributed to (".nti-Saloon Lr-eue coffers for law enforcement work, by citizens, churches and -Sunday schools. It is a comforting thought to know not only that the et ite's good money is spent in princely entertainment of the denizens of the red-light districts, but that also the collections contributed to the cause of law and order by the pious in churches are similarly lavished in providing in jazzy joyous- ness for sinners, as well as soft births for league officials. We are accustomed to the acceptance of tainted money coined in dives and brothels and in devious other disreputable ways for churches and charities, under the theory that its expenditure is a worthy cause sanctifies and purifies it, but here is a reversal of form, sanctified money, earned by honest labor and donated for a lofty purpose, irresponsibly squandered in shameful revelry to brighten a criminal's holiday. It is to laugh as the French say. TODAY'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE Extending the Oregon Trunk Announcement that the northern lines will extend the Oregon Trunk from Bend south to Klamath Falls "and lipvond" is the best news that Oreiron has had in years. It ends the deadlock that has delayed railroad construction and development of the state. When the Oregon Trunk was first projected, in 1909, by James J. Hill and John F. Stevens, it was intended to extend the line to the Klamath country; thence west to Medford, with extensions later south into California from Klamath, nd west from Medford to a terminal at Crescent City, Cali fornia. Rights of way were secured and cleared from Bend via Crescent to Fort Klamath and thence to Medford. Con duction of the Pacific and Eastern was completed from A' tlford cast to Butte Falls. The building of the Oregon Trunk precipitated the con duction of a parallel line by the Harriman lines up the Deschutes and the expensive rivalry of two lines in the1 country that could support but one A' as halted by Wall Street financiers, the line to Bend completed as a joint road, and further extension stopped. Retirement of James J. Hill from active management and of John F. Stevens as chief of construction, halted the rail road program for 15 years. The railroads marked lime. The Pacific and Eastern was sold and became a private logging road, and is a feeder for the Southern Pacific. The right-of-way from Bend to Klamath was abandoned. Had the plans originated by Stevens been carried out, the development of Oregon the past decade would have been rapid. However, it will proceed all the faster for the delay. The Union Pacific can be expected to act in its usual role of obstructionist and throw all obstacles possible in the way of its rivals, but the welfare of the state demands cooperation between all the, railroads, and joint construction or at least operation of the proposed lines thereby bringing in all three railroads at the cost of one.

At least it will give us a few weeks to get hold of thebat poaalble defense to put up, DlckT Starmount answered all the while thinking to himself that the girl would not be able to write a story of what had happen ed In the lat year and a half with out In some way telling between the lines just why and how she murdered Elton Foaa. lie was so long engroased with his thoughts that Kathlyn again uald. "Tell me the plan." "In the first place you miwt re-, main ill. I hope to gain at leaal. two weeks In that way. If you have the shiniest Idea that anyone is watching or suspecting you you must act a little. In fact If they inula upon bringing in a strange doctor to you, you niuat act a great deal. 'Every woman la more or leas of an actross and with such great Htukea I am sure you will -succeed. "What I want to do Kathlyn is really to try the case in some newspaper before It cornea to court." "How can you do that Dick and how do you want me to help you?" "You can do It all. First, by nev er letting anyone but your nurse see you. Even I shall not come here. You will keep that door closed to everyone except your nurse' and your doctor and will spent the time writing the history of your marriage and what led up to It, bringing the story down to the night of the murder when you lost consciousness." Ktarmount rose to his feet and taking both Kathlyn'a hands In hl he. aid solemnly: "I abjure you. my dear, by your love for Rod to write the ahuolute truth and the whole truth. If there la in the she would story auuht that will act against Aloud ho naii you I promieo on my sacred honor that 1 will never let otner eyea than mine see the manuscript with out your consent. You in your turn muat give me free rein to do with it aa I choose; edit It In any way add to it and cut It, after I have decided whether or not it will help Had. "You must write the story in the first person Just like one of those yarns you o often see In the dally press. Don't you remember when someone gets Into trouble some paper alwaya publishes an auto biography by the troubled lady or gentlemen, preferably the lady:" "But Dick. I don't know how to co about it. Hod could o It; he knows how to write. I could make the Illustrations if you wish." "No ft must be done by you with my help and because it will bo your story written without the technique of the experienced that will b-3 the best thing about It." "I'll try Dick; I'll try tor I do want to help Itod. Where shall I begin?" "Ac the plaeo where your Idoa.i and ideals of marriage came to a culmination." "That waa about a year and a half ago at the wedding of Vernon Stedman and Lucille Thome." "I didn't know you could bring St ed man's name into the story. Just now the police are looking up his movements on the niht of the tragedy. He was seen near your home at about the time of the mur der and everyone knew he had a fight that afrernoon with Fo." Kuthly-n's eyes brightened. "I'll do my bent." she said. "Ill write not only the truth as it occurred but why I did It and what it was done for." "There," Dick said to himself. "Already the plan ia working. She Is puttin? In Just what I thought dear, and the very best of luck. Ite member you are working for Rod and nothing but tho tru'.li shall avail you know." "Go back to nim Dick and tell him that I would come to see him today If you would let me. Tell him exactly what I am going to do. Say to him that my thoughte are with him all the time and that I shall be happly only when I am again In hia arms and he tells me that he forgives me for everything that I have brought upon ua both. "Will you promise me Dick that as soon as I have written this that I may go to him?" Y'.'s, I think ho. You may -e Hod the minute the story appears in tha nuwspapent." "Well I am going to begin it like this: " 'It was at Luciio Thome's and Verr.on S'edinan'a wedding that my pian of marriage began to take foni'.' " "Thai's It. That's a good begin- , nlntf.
