More Paternalism
Bible reading in the public schools of Oregon is made
compulsory by the Garland bill (S. B. 83) which passed the
senate yesterday and this in spite of the fact that the
effort to teach religion in public schools has always been so
provocative of community discord and sectarian animosity
that it has been generally abandoned.
Religious instruction belongs to the church, Sunday school
and home, and to private or church schools, not to the
public school, a part of the state. Arguments for the bill are
thus summed up by its author:
The home bag failed to keep the youth of our country In the rln'it
path. I say It with sliaiue, that the agency of alt agencies that should
Inculcate religious and moral training Id the minds and hearts of the
children of the country has failed. I refer to the training In the
home. Women are busy at pink teas, or bridge clubs, or jury duty.
Fathers are not at home. As a result the moral training of the child
Is neglected. The Sunday schools do not fill the desired requirement.
, They teach the same children week after week, and do not reach the
boys and girls who need tuo Instruction most of all."
Here then, we have another attempt to make the state,
through the schools, replace the home and the school teacher
do the work of the parent and make up for the failure of the
church as well a bit of paternalism borrowed from Soviet
Russia, where the state supplants the home and takes full
charge of the child.
In the effort of harmonize irreconcilable religious contro
versies, the bill provides for the appointment by the governor
of a committee of nine to make the bibical selections to be
read, one to be a Catholic, one a Jew, and one a Christian
Scientist, and no two members of the same religious denom
inrtion. A vote of six of the members is necessary to select
such portions "as will most likely instill in the minds and
hearts of the pupils a desire and determination to load moral
lives and obey the laws, to the end that the youth of Oregon
miy be and remain worthy citizens." The six Evangelical
church members could then prescribe any course they desired
for the pupils of other sectarian beliefs.
Sepcration of church and state is provided by the consti
tution and the constitutionality of this measure is question
able. Though sponsored by a Democrat, it is contrary to the
principles of Democracy as formulated by Thomas Jefferson
and likely to work more harm than good, ns an opening
wedge for mixture of religion and state the nation was
founded to escape. '
Clear Lake Project
Senate Bill 102 paves the way for a group of cities to unite
in the formation of wataer and power districts and develop
water and power for joint use. It is designed as a step to
wards making the Clear Lake water and power project a
joint municipal enterprise for the cities of the valley from
Eugene to Salem.
Eugene's chamber of commerce has gone on record against
the Clear Lake project, because Eugene can develop her own
water and power supply cheaper than she could in conjunc
tion with other cities not so advantageously located.
' For the same reason, the project arouses little cnthusiastm
in Salem, for development sufficient for the city's needs could
V- made for less than her share of the cost of the Clear Lake
foject, and (he city fully control source and distribution.
The Clear Luke project is a visionary scheme that would
involve fully $30,000,000 investment, tremendously increase
taxation, while its benefits would be problematical. At pres
ent there is more power developed in Oregon than there is
market for, and public ownership is never as efficient as
private.
Cities already have the right to construct their own water
and power plants and if Salem wants to go into business along
this line, either the Santiam river or Marion lake offer much
better propositions than the Clear Lake proposal.

A Modern Marriage
An Absorbing Novel V
IDAU McGLONE GIBSON )
The Biidpe of Time
Although her face was convuls
ed with terror Kathlyn Kvani
riade no objections to placing her
fingers on the pad and then on
the piece of paper prepared by the
officers.
In thla peculiar and practical
fashion she solved one of the ques
tions that had always confrou'dd
her. Id Illustrating stories for
different authors title had come
upon many situations that were
in some way like this and she hai
always wondered why persona
who were accused or convicted cf
crime suhmitted usually without
murmur to doing any'.hing '.hoy
were required to do.
Now she found herself doing
with desperate calmness acme
thing that nhe felt was worse lo
her than death. She was vxri
that she was dolne something
that would convict Rod.
When they found that her fin
gerprints were not those on the
Run (they aheady knew that
Hod's were on the gun) the police
vould have proof against hi.n.
Yet she made no outcry wh:l?
the men did their work with ftoli I
care.
When they had gone ahe turned
Inquiring eyes on Richttrd Star
mount. Looking into them he
wondered if in their t error- trirk
en depths there waa only fear for
herself or did he diacern a faint
hope that the rain on the night
of the murder bad waehed away
all convicting evidence that might
lead to her.
More and more as he saw Kath
lyn Evans, Richard Starmount
became imbued with the idea that
she and alie only had killed El
ton Foss. Again he tried to
make her understand without ac
tually telling her that If nhe were
take her guilt upon himself even
to building a muet amazing atory
and confessing that he bad mur
dered her admirer.
He wondered if In her heart
he was bopeleoi when she atked.
"if they do not find my finger
prints on the gun, will they draw
the clues tighter about Rod?"
"Certainly, Kuthlyu." was
Starmount'a grave response.
"What about Vernon Stedman?
Is there no way that he can be
made to prove where he uaa that
fateful night between twelve anJ
one o'clock?"
Starmount decided the ques
tion wad put without r.ny convic
tion. He noticed tliia and he
said to himself that ehe wa
breaking: ehe knew well who ha.I
killed Elton Foss.
Coldly he wondered if he stay
ed with her au hour lunger
whether she would have the nerve
to confer.
Ho decided to uhow her more
carefully hew Hod would be con
victed by circumstantial evidence
unless something would be found
to counteract it. Agmn he re
giatered a resolve to cl?ar Rod
ney Evans without regard to what
person he convicted and he fcbut
hia heart to any feeliiu of mercy
toward the woman lying there o
pale in all her loveliness.
Starmount answered Kath
lyn'a question, however, as il
his brain were not teeming witu
thoughts that would lead ht to
her conviction of ihe murder.
"That is what I am expecting
Stedman to do, Kathiyn," he a lo
wered quietly. "Kirov is now
trying to unravel his story unci
make him account for every min
ute of his time on that nKht. I
think I will go nrcund and find
him for he must have hio cvi-
accued of the deed Rod woulddcnce in our lunds before morn
ing. Ia tha meantime yon keep
on writing your story. It to bul
ly as far a you have gone. I'll
take it witb ma and finish read
ing it thia afternoon."
"I have told yon all that U in
the manuscript," Kathlyn eaid aa
he turned toward the door. Ha
waa stopped by Kathlyn. who de
manded, "When wilt you take me
to aee Rod? 1 am sure I am well
enough now. See, I ran ait up
in bed, and my voice grows stron
ger every minute."
You can go tomorrow morn
ing," he answered definitely as
he went out and closed tha door.
Starmount stopped a moment
in the hall to reassure the young
doctor who waa restlessly walk
ing up and down that the visit
of the officers would not make
any very great difference In the
plana.
"It's all right doctor. The of
ficers would have come In the
morning anyway. I am rot sure
that it is not all for the best. By
tomorrow Kathiyn will be well
enough to go to nee her husband.
She would have bf.-en very rest
less if we had hail to keep her
away from him.
"Twelve hours do not make
liuch a rreat difference anyway."
Starmount remarked soothingly.
Even as he spoke he told him
elf that twelve hours might
bridge a thousand times the way
from life t death.
