The Swap
To swap a Kansas progressive for a Clackamas populist,
way be a fair enough trade, at least it is no robbery if not
a bargain, yet we rather regret that our great religious con
temporary, the Salem Statesman has exchanged a Brady for
a Tooze as its editorial Moses in its philandering in political
wildernesses.
Editor Brady's resignation is universally mourned by the
press, to whom he was a constant though oftimes uncon
scious, source of joy. The Corvallis Gazette Times laments
as follows:
The Salem editor has furnished us material for many columns
of copy. Ho has enough ''milk of human kindness,'' at least that Is
n-hat he thinks It Is. to supply all the editorial offices In Oregon with
all they need and have enough left over to start a dairy.
Mr. Brady not only supplied the milk, but the mush, in
ungodly amount, to take with it and was proud of it. It is
doubtful if Senator Tooze, despite his training with Weeping
Walter, can slop the hogs better.
Editor Brady had heard 'the call' and his Brobdingnagian
frame fairly exuded uplift, spilled service and pulsated
reform. No editorial sanctum could possibly contain his vast
inspiration and he overflowed on Sunday schools, sewing so
cieties and granges. No gathering was complete without his
presence, which was synonymous with his eloquence.
So the Mock Turtle weeps and the Gryphon sobs as they
chant the loss or their well beloved and not even a Tooze
can assauge their melancholy.
What's the Answer?
That veteran journalist, E. W. Howe, editor of the
monthly bearing his name, is stumped over what ho declares
"the silliest thing I have ever read" in one of the oldest and
best known American periodicals, and wants to know what
it all means. The writer, a woman says:
Last night In reading I came upon this quotation from Dlako:
"Bvery kindness to another Is a little death In the Divine Image."
How marvelous! How Infinitely lieatitlful! These words make my
whole being stand still in a wonder of delight and worship. I set
down here my ardent gratitude to William Dlako for having con
ceived anything so mnrvelous with beauty and insight. When they
came to him I think his whole being must have been standing on
tiptoe," reaching up to a higher shelf of thought than any of us
shorter people could reach for ourselves. 1 am Inllnitely grateful to
lilm for having been able to reach his high thought ami to have
handed It down to us distilled Into these lovely words. Tho words
infected me with a wild rapture. They made me want to run nbout
and shout with Joy. How Intoxicating words may be! The lovell.
noss of these words of Dlake continues to prick me with fresh delight.
Sounds like a speech before Rotary, Kiwanis, or some
other luncheon club that has recently discovered the golden
rule and offers an obscuration of words for salvation of the
soul through service by eating a square meal once a week.
It also bears some semblance to the rambling rhapsodies of
vers libre, which begin in the middle and work either way.
What does it mean? It docsn t mean anything of course,
just a piece of cubist literature reflecting the convolutions
of the futurist mind, an auto-intoxication of words for which
there should be a Vol.steadian prohibition enactment carrying
severest penalties.

The story of the ugly duckliiif;

with a fairy tale after the greet
, transformation scene.
Sharon K I m m 'a childhood Is
spent In squalor. From a rebel
lious mother she has Inherited a
passion for beauty and luxury
which. It seems, can never be
gratified. Only such a fairy god

Sharon; but It is Mickey Keicl
whom she loves. Komnuco blooms
naturally on the meeting of these
two young creatures. That Is In
the days when Sharon is just
"rcd-hci'.dcd extra girl." But the
rapid rise of the "great Sharon
Kimm" changes all that. Mickey
sees his hve swept away by pleas
ure, flattery and lame.
Mrs. St. Johns draws the reck
less, gay motion-picture world to
the life sometimes with excruiat
ing accuracy and always with a
wealth of vivid detail. The pages
are crowded with people you fee)
you ought to know. Half-recognisable
faces peep out here and
there tantallsingty. Yet the char
acters are rpnlly more types than
portraits. The author, a Los An
geles newspapor woman, has for
reveral years been closely assocl

Hollywood. She Is loved and
trusted by Its members, And has
beeu, It 'a said, a very present help
In time of trouble to mauy of

The popular manner In which
"The Skyrocket' is told does not
interfere with a certain funda
mental Integrity of denign. The
psychology of the heroine's rise
and fall is convincing. And her
progress toward that night when
she face to face with the girl in
the plaza nnd aces the end which
threiitetiH Is made absorbing to thr
reader throughout the story.

A Romantic Serial of Modern Life
By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON
Jl'ST HKR MOTIIKR
"Plea do not talk that way.
LlMa," said Harold Kennedy. "It
make me think per ha pa that I
might b jealous. But I am only
Jealous, dear, because I want to
Iay back to you something of what
jrou have given me. I want no one
not even Lille, to Interefere with
that, I am going to keep on try
ing to overcome Lisaa's prejudices.
In the meatlme perhaps we can
raise enough money on your other
holdings to atart the finance com
pany. I looked into It very care
fully when I waa in New York
and I think it would be a very good
thing if you still want to go Into
it."
"Of cours t want to go into
it. I am willing to truat you with
all or any part of me or my pos
session dear. You have never fail
ed me yet In anything you have
undertaken for me."
"That la no sign I am Infallible,
dear lady. I may make a mistake
but If I- do I want you to know
that I would have made the same
mistake for myself. Lima, you do
know that do you not?"
."Yes, of course, I know it, but
that doesn't mean anything to me
dear boy. I want you to under
stand that I believe In you and
trust you and that the loss of every
thing X have In the world would
mean nothing to me beside the
loos of your regard.'
"Dear, dear Lissa. was any other
woman ever as sweet as you"
There came a sound as though
the man had taken her mother in
his arms and kissed her.
Lille turned her face to the wall
and put her hands over her ears.
It turned her sick that her mother
could believe such a transparent
lie.
After "a moment the two evi
dently separated but Lille did not
answer when her mother bent over
her later and asked her if she were
asleep.
Being the daughter or Melissa
Vail, the older woman was to Lille
lujt "mother." That she snould ue
a woman of physical appeal or
that she should have a passionate
retiard for anyone, did not enter
the girl's mind, consequently all
that Hhe had overheard Haroia
Kennedy say to her mother could
be nothing but prevarication.
Early the next morning she was
up and on the observation plat
form. It had been ao long eince
she had seen anything of her own
country that even the uninterest
ing landscape Juat outside or Cleve
land waa pleasing to her eyes.
"Do you think you are doing the
right thing in getting up so early?"
asked a voice so near her that she
felt if she should turn, her lips
would brush ilarold Kennedy's
face.
"I am used to early rleing." Bhe
answered coldly. "That Is one of
the tiling we nil had to do at
school."
"Why do you so thoroughly dis
like me, my dear?"
This time Lille did turn, quickly
catching her breath. 8he had nev
er thought that Harold Kennedy
would have had the "nerve" to
carry war into the enemy's country.
"Hew do you know that I don't
like you?" she parriel, looking
him straight in the face unsmll
ingly.
"How does anyone know any
thing about another's likes and
dislikes." he observed. "There are
many reasons, my dear, I know
you do not like me but chiefly
I set most of your disliko down to
prejudice. Even outside or tnat
my dear girl, there la some other
reason why you do not like me.
A reason, I don't quite understand.
It seems to be a reason not con
nected with me at all. Sometimes
I have thought that it wis because
some man had hurt you greatly
and because of that you have de
termined never to trust any other
men.
"Has some man, Lllls, betrayed
our trust, and therefore have you
determined to make yourself hate
all other men? Is that the reason
you treat me so coldly?
My dear girl you will come to
like me dome day. You'll come to
understand me some day."
"I think 1 understand you now,
y dear Harold, and while I must
eon fees that I have been a little
Jealous, I am not going to be so
any more. Here Is my hand. Let'a
be friends."
A amile overspread Harold's face
as he looked down into her eyes.
He took the hand, held out to him
and raised It to his lips, kissing the
rosy palm.
Because he was bending over
that tiny hand he did not see the
look of trhimph that flashed Into
Lille's eyes.
"Tell me about Mother, Harold.
Will the aalt water In those wells
cripple mother's finances at all?
Do you think mother Is much wor
ried?" "Of course ehe Is. It will make
a difference of many thousands of
dollars a day in her Income."
"I was afraid of that and I am
going to offer to trade with her.
I'll take her side of the field and
vtrwran take the side she has Just
given me. I don't need a very
large Income. I don't Intend to go
into any kind of business. Do you
think she will do that, Harold?"
The man did not reply immed
iately after a little silence he aaid:
"I wonder how you will like our
Hollywood. You are going to find
there- the handsomest if not the
cleverest nyn in all the world.1
