PAGE FOUR THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1925 CapitaiJournal Salem. Oreioa An Independent Newippr Publlihed rry trenlng except 8undy Telephone II; II CEORGB PUTNAM, Editor end PublUher Against Natural Law Accusing the allopathic doctors of trying to form a mcdicul trust and strangle other groups engaged in the heal- ine arts, the osteopaths, chiropractors, neuropaths, eclectics: mental scientists and other schools of curing are strongly protesting a measure pending before the legislature (H. B. 391) which raises educational standards by requiring practitioners to supplement grammar and high school educa tion with two years of university training and four years of special training in their own particular school of healing, before securing a license. As might be expected, the druggists trust is heart and soul back of the bill, for the practice of drugless doctors threatens their thriving business of prescription filling and peddling patent medicines. The dominant school of allopathy is also strong for the measure, for it already requires much training, and seeks to force others to be equally prepared, knowing it is too late for most of them. Great progress has been made during the past few years in medical science and surgery altogether too much progress for the welfare of the race, for as a result there is a preserva tion of the unfit that nullifies nature's law of the survival of the fittiest. Therefore ignorant practicioners fulfill a useful purpose in helping nature take her course by main taining the natural ratio of deaths. While everyone desires that the surgeon that rips him open be a learned and scientific butcher, such eruditeness is wasted on the specialist that merely thumps your spine or messages you. A husky physique like a blacksmiths is better than six years of schooling. And what use is an education to the seventh son of a seventh daughter, or to the seeress that convincesyou are that your ailment is your own mental delusion? We are agin' this law not only because it creates a trust aud provides more bureaucracy, more regulation and inter- fcron'.e in other peoples affairs, but because it is an inherent human right to choose your own method of death and it is about time that we ceased legislating for the survival of (he unfit against natural law. Increase Their Pay Increase in pay for the supreme court justices to $7,500 a year, after having been favorably recommended by the iuilii iarv committee, has been adversely reported by the ways and means committee, which is opposed to all salary raise, despite the fact that this was the only salary raise recommended by Governor Pierce as necessary. It is to be hoped that both houses override the ways and means report and pass the bill for if there was ever a salary raise merited, it is in the case of the over-worked supreme court justices, upon whom depend the final con struction of all laws passed by the legislature and all acts of the executives. Members of the supreme court should be the flowers of the legal profession, for they are, in these days of a plethora of statutes, the real governing power, the final arbiters of destiny. Salaries should be provided sufficient to attract men of the highest ability and the only fault with the bill ns introduced is that it does not provide sufficient increase in pay. The present salary of a justice is less than the average successful country lawyer makes in his practice, less than the average business man realizes and less than some branches of skilled labor pay. A justice cannot exist upon the honor and prestige of the position and it is a shame that a state like Oregon pays compensation that keeps supreme court justices ill a condition of hand-to-mouth gentile poverty and provides no way in which they can make provision for the 3 in itre.

"Jump in Jim. You're Juet the man I want to see." "You've" got the marriage cer 1 1 f ica te. Good work ! " impul sively hazarded Kirby. "That's just what I haven't got," Starmount informed him curtly. "You don't mean "to eay they aren't married after all?" "Yea, they were married. "Then w here's the certificate?" "Kathlyn destroyed it." "What did fihe do that asinine thing for?" "She thought fihe could make herself believe in time there had been no ceremony performed; she haa just told me." "Does Hod know that?" "No. Poor old Rod hae loved her well enough to die for her if necessary, but I know that he would balk at destroying the evi dence of a legal marriage. He1 would let Kathlyn make as great a fool of herself as she wanted to and play faet and loose with her reputation and her name, but he would never. have lived with her a moment if be had not felt euro he could show evidence that their union was according to church and state." "What are you going to do now, Dick?" "I don't know. I confers I'm up a stump. I'm on my way now to ask Rod if he knows the name and atldreAS of the preacher who married him. If by any change he has forgotten we must dig up omeone who witnessed the mar- iage." Doecn't Mm. Evans know?" "She tella me she made it her buainerie to forget as soon as pos sible everyone except Rod and everything pertaining to her wed ding ceremony." "Well, I thought I knew some thing about women,'' remarked Jim Kirby. "I've met a good many kind of them, but Kathlyn Evans is a new one to ine. The women I have known have always been too anxious to get a wed ding certificate to show. It U only by the skin of my teeth tha: I've been able to get out of mar rying." "Jim, you're an (corrigible mf oogynist. Some day you will fall so hard that I will probably have as hard a time picking you up and putting you on your feet again as I am having with Rtd." "Heaven fnrbid! There h no woman in the world that could get me in Rod Evaue' place. You working so hard trying to get him out of this scrape his wife has got him into is only one more reason 1 have for not doing the thing he lias done. When a man falls in love with a woman his trouble begins. I shall never Hurry." "Save your resolutions, Jim and put your whole mind to Rod' case. He is the boy who is in pretty bad Just at present. Wait here until I see him," he added as they reached the jail. "I'll go acrotis the street. Dirk. I see a great number of the boy are clustering around Big Tony Sells' car. He's a darn good jleuth, as well as a good report er, and he Is much interested In your case. We had a long talk about it latU night and he bad one or tw-o good theories. Per haps he has pruved one of th'm and and learned something we ought to know." Rodney Evans welcomed Star mount in the tense fashion that made the Attorney anderstand he had been waiting for hiau "They took It away from me, Dick; they took it away from me." "Yes, I know, they took the letter away from you." "How do you know?" "Because they have tnken Kathlyn's fingerprints. I was was there." "What did they do to her? Did they scud her back Into uncon ociotidness or delirium?" "No. She Is all right now, hut by this time they have probably compared tlie prints of her fingers with t!ne on the gun." Hod groani'd. "What will happen if they find them alike. Dick?" "Kathlyn will probably be ar rested at least as an accomplico of youra In the killing." "Oh, why didn't ! make a de position at once? I might have known this would have happened. Dick, I depend upon you as friend of mine. You must never let Kathlyn be arrested. Go im mediately and find out Just what has happened at the identification bureau. If it is as we think I shall give my confession into the hands of the prosecuting attorn ey within 10 minutes."
