GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor and Publilher
Postponing a Reckoning
A ballot title has been drafted by the attorney general
for the referendum petition the auto stage and freight lines
are to circulate against the law passed by the recent legisla
tive session imposing a tax upon busses and trucks that will
to a slight extent repair the damage done to the state high
way system by traffic they were not constructed to carry.
By the referendum, and the action of the governor in
vetoing the bill calling for a special election, the measure will
be kept flora going into effect until the general election of
1926 and those who are destroying the highways for private
gain will escape paying during the interval.
These selfish traffic interests who treat our $60,000,000
highway system as though it was built for their personal
gain, and oppose every effort to force them to share in
repairing the ruin they are causing, will hear from the people
in no uncertain manner when the election is held. The high
ways were built for the general public, not to be com
mercialized as free rights of way, maintained at public
expense and tourist inconvenience and the referendum merely
postpones the day of reckoning.
The bus and truck lines are making a mistake, and their
greedy attitude will merely bring more drastic penalties.
' Had it not been for them, we would have twice the highway
mileage, for a four inch pavement is ample for auto traffic,
while the bus and trucks necessitate from 6 to 8 inches.
TODAY'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE
I
I
Without Warrant
It now develops that the raids by Mayor Baker's stool
pigeons, snitches and crow-bar brigade in Portland, wherein
private homes are ruthlessly invaded and members of the
family black-jacked for being in the way, are made without
even the formality of a fake search warrant. In fact, to
enforce the prohibition law, all other laws are broken with
the approval of the mayor and his demoralized police force.
These raids have been going on for two years, yet it was
not until the home of a member of its staff was outraged
that the Orcgonian protested. Scores of instances can be
cited, where the outrages of the laws minions had the open
or tacit approval of the Oregonian and other Portland papers.
It depends on whose house was raided, rather than the
principle involved.
The Bill of Rights is the foundation of Anglo-Saxon liberty
and was enacted only after centuries of bloodshed. It is the
only safeguard against tyranny, whether of petty officialdom
or of fanatical majorities, and its every violation creates a
new train of evil consequences. Better far that prohibition
be abandoned than that a single provision of the Bill of
Tights be vacated.
Should March Back
Removal of the state banking department from Salem to
Portland is not only in violation of the old state law under
which the department was created but in violation of the new
banking code passed by the recent session. The latter reads
us follows:
The supcrlnti'lKlcnt ot hunks hIiuII maintain his office In the oily
of Salem, and the secretary of otute In hereby required to fiirniiih
iiultulile niinrtera thorctor: provided the luperlnlendent ot banks,
when considered by him to be expedient or convenient, may establish
brunch offices wlthlu the city of l'ortlund.
The old law requiring offices (o be in Salem is in virtually
the sr.me words as the new act, except that the latter allows
1 : icji offices to be located in Portland. As the new law
does not go into effect until May 28, there is no authority for
even a branch office in Portland at the present time.
Like the celebrated hero of history who with 10,000 men,
marched up the hill and then marched down again, it would
seem imperative for the superintendent of banks having
r. rrched to Portland, to march back again to Salem, and
hence at least, keep within the letter and spirit of the law
he is sworn to obey. -

A Romantic Serial of Modern Life
By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON
THOI GIITS OF THE li:AD
"Can't you see, Mr. McLean
kept eaylng to those about him,
"that only to 'her nusband" could
her vast fortune dcend, as she
had not designated me by my
nameT She loved me so much that
she defied death and came back
to me to give ms all ahe had to
ive. Doing this, she went back
among the shades. I do not de
serve it, I do not deserve It."
The whole thing has been most
uncanny. Mr. Me Lean 'a atory ha
been corroborated by the physi
cians who were called in as well as
those who prepared the body of
Mrs. McLean for burial. All these
declare that rigor mortis was ap
paient, that the body was that of
a person who had been dead some
hours before "the death-bed mar
riage." The affair has created much dls
cusslon. A full account of it has
been fcent to societies of phyachieal
research in France and the Unit
ed States.
Mr. McLean is sure that through
intercoaelon and because of her
great love, Miss Eamea returned
for a ahort time to become his
bride.
Mr. McLean and Miss Kr.mea
were childhood lovers. Her death
seems particularly tragic, coming
aa it did, sharply upon the culmln
atlon of a youthful betrothal.
With his mother and father, the
bereft husband will go to the south
of France for the winter. Then
ho intends returned to America.
Llllemay was eilent for a long
time after Miss Norton had finish
ed reading the strange account of
Robert's marriage ana the im
mediate death of Muss Eames.
"Do you think it can be true?"
she asked wistfully.
I am not sure, Lillemuy, but I
think anything can be true to a
woman who loves greatly."
"And he did love greatly," Lille
may said, "dirange that any man
could inspire the great love that
both GeralJine Earned and I had
for Robert McLean. I know that
if he had called me I would have
come back from the very portal?
of death to do his bidding. And
tli la other girl did the thing thai
who seemed to feci was net eeaary
for Huberts happim.
"I am very glad, Nonnle, that I
did not take your advice mid go
and tell Miss Eames about Uoburt
and me. ahe really denerved him
more than I. Sue really gave htm
more than I could, l'oor ltobert! '
Antoinette Norton looked at the
girl before her with speculating
eyes. Would the death of Cluiald
Ine Eames make any difference in
the lite and destiny of LillL-may
Vail?
After the return of ltobert Mc
Lean to her (Miss Norton was sure
that after time had softened his
grief a little Robert McLean would
return to Lillemay) would she
feel as bitter toward Harold Ken
nedy as she did now?
Antoinette Norton had secretly
become a sympathizer of Harold
Kennedy. She had reached the
age when all tho mveot interludes
of romance seemed to be some
thing thut were to be treasured
most carefully as remembrances
during life's long afternoon.
It was most peculiar that all her
romantic episodes had been vicari
ous. Antoinette Norton was not
plain and she was very clever. Tho
affair between Mrs. Vail and Har
old Kennedy waa most interest ins
to her. She could imagino the yy
that the young man's attentions
brought to the older woman. There
was nothing incongruous In It to
Nonnie Norton. Shs could under
stand Mrs. Vull's position and foel
Inga.
Of course she knew Ovid March
mont had loved Mrs. Vail all nil
life, tihe knew that he, in tha
eyes of tho world, would be a
much more suitable hiwband. 6h
knew that he was a very estimable
man. She knew that he was de
votion imelf. She also knew thai
Ovid Murchmont had always beeu
near Mrs. Vuil. He was a pari
of that sad time ot her life thai
.ihe was most anxious to forget.
He mude her think ulways of the
thing's s'io had miused. There was
not tho thrill in hi presence, the
radiance that could nia'.ie her live
in the present.
Again Nonnlc's thoughts travel
ed to that "death-bed marriage."
If Ceraldlno Eainoe love wai
strong enough to bring her back
from tho door of eternity for a lit
tle while, would it not be utrong
enough to influence Robert Mc
Lcaji's life always? Would he not
consider that to be faithful to hei
memory was the only thing he
could do to prove his loyally?
It was a maze into which Misi
Net ton's thoughts carried her. Shi
arise to leave the room. As sh
bent to kUs LiUemny she found
the girl was weeping silently and
miMorably with her fnce to the
wall.
She knew instinctively that the
girl was thinking tho same
thoughts of Robert McLean that
had just come to her.
At the door of the girl's room,
fihe met Mrs. Vnil, who aakod her
what she thought had caused her
daughter's budden breakdown.
"I hope she will be well enough
th go tomorrow. The moment that
Harold knew that Llllemay was so
ill, he Immediately chartered a
private car. If we can only get her
to the station, I know he will be
quite as comfortable as here."
