PAGE FOUR THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1925 CapitalJiJournal Silim, Oregon An Independent Newipiper Publtihcd ererr erenlog except Bundejr Telephone 81; newt 81 GEO RGB PUTNAM, Editor and Publisher Dawes and the Senate To use an old New England phrase, Vice-Fresidcnt Dawes has received his "come-up-ance" for hia inaugural tirade scoring the senate for preserving archaic rules that delayed transaction of business and for his ruthless disregard of senate customs and courtesies. The punishment took the form of a satirical resolution adopted by unanimous consent correcting the "blunders and mistakes" Mr. Dawes made when he unceremoniously cast aside the rules of the senate and ignored "red-tape" by taking short-cuts in swearing-in 24 members en bloc, "herding" them in a group, and then "shooing" them out after taking the oath before signing the roll as prescribed by law. There is a good deal of the upstart and smart-alec ubout Mr. Dawes. His hcll-n-Maria lecture extenuating war prof iteering, his political "pewit" castigation of politicians dur ing the campaign, and his scolding of United States senators and shaking his finger at them as though a bunch of school boys, were all of the same order as smart and captious as ungracious and ill-bred. Senate rules are unquestionably archaic and could be amended perhaps to advantage. But the rules that apply to boards of directors of Mr. Dawes banks and trust companies, do not apply to a popular deliberative body like the senate whose policy has always been to hear the protest of minorities as well as the desires of majorities. Speed is not the most desirable thing in the world when legislation affecting the welfare of the people and the destiny of the nation is at stake and the much abused filibuster has been more beneficial than detrimental, by killing or delaying vicious legislation. The house of representatives has fallen to it3 present low level, because its rules have been amended as Mr. Dawes desires the senate's to be, to "expedite" business. As a result, the gag has supplanted debate, the protest of minorities remains unheard, and the house is no longer a truly deliberate body but functions as a machine controlled by autocrats, which railroads through legislation without attempt at con sideration to ruthlessly enforce the will of the majority. It has been supplanted as a popular body by the senate, which still reflects public opinion, and sustains the rights of minor ities, and is therefore the safeguard of democracy. It is to be hoped that the senate disregards Mr. Dawes' desires, which it probably will, refuses to apply the gag and continues practically unlimited debate upon vital subjects, for the more they are discussed the more the public know about them and there is nothing like the sunlight of publicity as an anti-septic for corruption in government. Intolerance Defeated That toleration is supplanting the bigotry of the Klan even in the south, is shown by the defeat recently in the North Carolina legislature of a resolution "to restrict the teaching of Darwinism" in state supported schools. The resolution blocked consideration of all other business for three days and was the occasion of much fervid oratory before packed galleries which testified to the public interest 'in the measure. The clergy was present in force, the Ku Kluxers were everywhere while university students were interested spectators. That the resolution was decisively beaten, after succeeding in initial moves, was due to the votes of the fundamenladisls themselves, to men a3 orthodox as Bryan and as firm believ ers in the special creation theory, who know little and care less about science or theology, but have a profound belief In liberty of conscience and whose fear of tyrannical legisla tion is greater than their fear of biology, who hold with Jefferson "eternal hostility to every form of tyranny over the mind of man." North Carolina, it will be remembered, in 1789 refused to come into the union or ratify the constitution until the Bill of Rights had been added, the very first line of which pro hibits the making of any law respecting the establishment of religion, and the rejection of the fanatical measure proves that North Carolina still keeps the faith, and follows Jeffer son instead of Bryan.

From prcwent In dications It see me to be a turn tip who will come out the lower, the county or the former Jutitlcr. Members of the county court, when queried aa to the situation today, expressed a desire that no publicity be Riven to the matter. "An adjustment between Jus lice Kunti and the court will be mnde satisfactory to all concern ed," stated Judge Hunt, In the presence of the other commis sioners. "The matter Is merely one for adjustment. 'There have been some errors apparently, one way or another, which will be parties concerned." Justice Kunti stated that an entirely aatisfsrtorr agreement hud been reached between ulnutotf and the court whereby any errors will be balanced off and any dis crepancies which may appear be cause of failure to make proper accounting as to fees through error, will be made Rood.

I'm sure he was an American. She was so exuberant, looking about her with such eager eyes. "On the contrary, I have never seen Bobby look so glum and for some reason he looked glummer when he saw me." "That girl, Nonnle." Lille said, calling Miss Norton by her pet ncme, "is probably his fiancee. Miss Geraldine Karnes. He wrote me about her this morning." Antoinette Norton looked grave ly into LDlernay'a eyes and then held out her arms. Swiftly the Sir I went into them. "Oh, Nonnie, I am the unhap piest person In all the world. Bob by wrote ma this morning that he was bo Ins: to marry Miss Earnca almost immediately." "ilut, my dear, I thought he was In love with you ?" "Ho says he Is." "The scoun'lrel " 'Tea, Nonnie. that is what they call a man like Bobby, Iwit it? The worst of It all is that even know ing this I can't get over loving him." MIfs Norton clasped her closer around the form within them. Pityingly she put her lips to Lille may's hair. "Of course you cannot do this right away. But I can't re member anywhere In all history where love remained eternal. He member, my darling, you are go ing home next week and then anions the old familiar scenes I am sure you will forget." "What did she lock like, Non nie V "Who?" answered Miss Norton, who had completely forgotten the other glil In her effort to comfort the heartbroken clld-woman with in her arms. "Why, Nonnie, the girl with Bobby," answered Lltk-may in a trembling voice. She was very beautiful," Miss Norton answered honestly, "with big, soft black eyes and midnight hair, that shadowed her face from under her turban. "Nonnie. Nonnie!" Llllcmay's brilliant red head was dropped on the older woman's breath so that she could not see her face. "Non nie," she repeated again, "the girl Bobby Is going to marry is betttr looking then 1." "Net when you are smiling, my child. Now, of course, yojr face Is drawn and the lines of suffering have appeared about your mouth. She was radiantly happy this morn lug." "Yes. she would be." "Did this girl come across alone to meet Bobby?" "No, his father and mother came with her.' "Then I am going to call upon them and tell them what he has done. From what Robert has told me about them I do not think they will stand for their son's conduct in this matter." "Nonnie, you must never speak to them or anyone clc about Bob by and me. Suppose his father did find out that hi had made low to me. He couldn't do anything. He would probably choose hla son to keep his older promise and if the iil knew It sho would be unhap py even if aha married him. If one of us must be unhappy. It should be 1. If aha la told. It will only mean that both of ua will be un hippy If Boliby'a people knew this If M'ss Karnes knew this she would prcbably break hor en gagement.

"Xo, Nonnie, never again will I love any man. Never again will I have the ulightptct pity or compas !on for them. I'll begin this after noon on my new role. "Call up Count LaVelle and tell nlm that you and I will accept his fmit.tiion at Les Ambassadeur's this evening." "Aren't you nfraid that you will meet Robert and his family?"
