Editor end Publisher Aircraft Controversy General Mitchell, of the aircraft service, will probably be demoted or otherwise penalized for daring to criticise official policies of the war and navy departments concerning the Neglect of the aviation branches, but he has rendered a )u'.lic service in forcing a thorough investigation. Both army and navy are autocratically ruled by rings of ,d tape bureaucrats, and any officer who disagrees or has be temerity to criticise them has no more chance of con- jlderation than critics of Adjutant General W hue nave in our wn military machine. They are promptly flattened out by lt:am-roller process. Immunity from new ideas has always characterized our military autocracy. Most of modern war inventions were of American origin, but rejected by our army and navy staffs until utilized by European nations. Among them were high explosives, machine guns, submarines, and airships. Maxim left the United States in disgust over the rejection of his Inventions, which England promptly utilized. Holland offered Ihe United States his submarine for the Spanish American H-ar and was laughed at--and it nearly won the war for Sermany. Similarly the airship was neglected in the land of a inventor and developed by Europe. There is more than a suspicion that our present neglect of lircraft is due to the fact that airplane and bomb have really relegated the warship to the scrap heap and rendered the navy obsolete, which would throw out of gear the entire military organization. As aviation is limited to youth, there Is small wonder that both army and navy cliques are fighting t -ainst fate to perpetuate a machine that has outlived its Usefulness. Making Good By defeating the paternalistic free school text-book bill the legislature added to its commendable record of negative ichievement. This measure, designed to supply free text books, printed at slate expense, to school pupils, would mormously increase our already top heavy school costs, with sut compensating benefits. Of course it would be a fine thing for a few poverty itricken families to have the stale supply the text books for the children, but on the same theory it would be still finer for the state to supply food and lodging as veil as clothing. The rank and file are not in the pauper class, however, and private charity can be relied upon to assist the needy, in this as in other things. It is characteristic of human nature not to value anything secured without a struggle. That is one reason why educa tion is not appreciated as it was when it entailed personal lacrifice and hard work to secure it. Children are careless enough with books their parents purchase, but when the ftate supplies them, they are soon destroyed, under the lup)osilion they are free, when as a matter of fact, nothing Is f' ce in this world sombody always has to pay, and in this tase it is the general public which directly or indirectly foots the bill. By the way, this legislature is making a record better than the average, despite the lack of constructive achievement. It has passed no important bills and milled around on un important measures, but it has put to sleep an imposing rray of pHleririlistic and freak proposals. The fewer laws legislature enacts, the better for the eople for there are lllogether.too many on the statute books. TODAY'S CROSS WRD PUZZLE HORIZONTAL 1. Prevent 4.

Instinctively I have tried to choos. Were It better to put my love away in iavendar whore I might go sometimes and enjoy lu fragrant memory than to grasp iis immediate bliss only to find my hand j, that I had empty? Even If one docs not have so much happi ness, one does not have so much sorrow. Yes, I know, dear, that until some other aud better thing is worked out of our future civiliza tion In regard to marriage, the safety of ths race demands and rightly that there should always be some legalized action taken by the two people who Intend to be come partners in the great busi ness of carrying on the race. I do not acknowledge that there is anything about the ecclesiastical marriage ceremony that seenia to maks its bonds any more holy or less likely to bo broken than those entered into at the office of a Jus tice of the peace. The mere fact that two people love each other truly and loyaly makes their union holy whether , they plight their vows under civil: or church rule. I love you. Rodney. I want you for my husband. I want to be I your wif?, consequently I want! that union be legal because 1 believe It necessary to be a good, citizen of my country and I want to keep nil of its laws. I am selfish enough, however, to want that union to last forever, something that the mere promis ing by either you or me will not I affect either one way or the other. Rodney, with many human frailties and the usual virtues, vte should know that the one thing of which every human being Is the most tenacious ij his individuality. Love Is always antagonistic to individuality. When one loves, one wants to pons mm to all men and women, love means to desire, to have and to hold consequently thora Is always an unconscious war between husband and wife which la a constant battle for suprem acy. Tarn 'one of those new women who have the same desire to ex press themselves th:it men have. and It mukes for great unhapplnew if the newspapers and criminal courts are to be believed. I am afraid of marriage; rath er. Rodney, I am afraid of constant and int. mute coaipanionhlp. You aay "Marry me Kathlyn," nnd I answer, "X will" if. as far a the world and our friends are con cerncd. It will be kept a secret. I know that this will probably mean more or less gossip but 1 am willing to hear even scandal if we can keep love always with us. Here Is my plan: We will go up to some sparsely Inhabited moun tain region and be mr.rried by a justice oi the peace. Then we nil! have a glorious week or two to gether In a cabin or tent, just you and I. We will come back to work. will retain my own name. I ahull support myself as I always have done. I shall keep my own studio :i part men, and you shall keep yours. In our minds, our hearts or our ltves there shall be no bonds except the bond of our mutual love. Your friends need not necessari ly be my friends, nor mine yours any more than they are now. I Khali not feel that I have the right We are both human beings, to criticize your coming and go ing any more than X shall allow you to criticise mine. You shall Ij punetultous as you are now when you ask me to accompany you to ilnner or to the theater end I shall do as I have done In the past and give you special Imitations to dine with aie In my little studio apart ment. You shall not feel at liberty to come to me until 1 Invite you and you may refuse my Invitations If you are so inclined. If you can subscribe to all this we ahall conform to the old con vent ions of the wedding ceremony, but me shall make our married life one In which both of us are thoroughly free and Independent. I am sure that when we are not hound we shill seek each other. If we were bound we would seek some othir. Iarling, I am waiting for you. instead of your going up to the camp in the Adirondack, where you told me you were going last night, follow me to the wildest place I know In the Great iS rooky Mountains In Tennessee. I sin leaving for the south im mediately. I haven't a doubt that you will not be as happy In this unconventional marriage of ours, as I know I am going to be. I have been unconsciously plan ning all my life this kind of union with the man I would love. My hour has come. I shall wait impatiently for you in Knoxvllle. If you are not with me by tho end of the week, I shall know that my plan has not suited you and we will separate before Instead of aft er marriage and each go his own way. Until I hear from you or see you I am yours and yours only, KATHLYN. Tomorrow Tlie New Wife.

Eddy moved for a committee of the whole procedure, and this was pposrd by Ranks and Klenper, Who averred that the senate would make a hodge-podge t.f the bill If It went to committee of the whole. "Eddy explained that he wanted to amend out of the hill what he turmoil the unjust provision for providing the fund. Strayer took a Hi and similar to that of Eddy declaring there wasn 't anyt hing manly In the hill. He aud Kddy asserted that It unjustly placed the burden of 4he salary Inrreane on women Involved In divorce cases, many of whom woro descr i hod us poor women with many children about them. This caused Senator Hare to declare that 99 out of every 100 women who aeok divorces are "flappers who have discarded their husbands and want new ones, each with a gentleman In waiting." "Senator, do you not recoil at paying these salaries with that tainted money?' Interrupted Kd dy heatedly. Hare maintained that the pro vision was fair. The vote on the question of go ing Into committee of the whole was announced as having failed. and Kitner. Johnson and Kdd had further discussed the merits of the hill when Kddy was interrupt ed by I'reaident Moser who an noiinced that the clerk had made an error aud that the senate actu ally was In committee of the w hole. The change In the Multnomah salaries was put across easily enough, hut Kddy 's motion to strike t lit provision relating to divorce case Tees, after a hard fight, waa defeated.
