TODAY'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE

Another Story?
The Corvallis Gazette-Times says there must be a "good
inory in connection with the Thopmson shortage in the state
treasurer's office or we have lost our sense of smell" oiid
then offers to wager that the Capital Journal is "suppress
ing" this suppositious story. All of .which is news.
There have been several "good stories" in the Thompson
case all of which first saw the light of day in the Capital
Journal which dug up the first account of the shortage and
also the first account, of discovery of the second defalcation.
There may be another good story in connection with the
case if there is, the Capital Journal will have it, and have
it first-,
There still remains, unaccounted for, something like $1000
that Thompson confessed to taking, the disappearance of
which the employes of the state treasurer's office have been
unable to locate. It took them over three months to locate
the $3000 second shortage. As the bonding company does not
have to pay until the shortage is located, it is up to the
grand jury to place its own expert accountants on the treas
urer's books and ascertain the facts. This might uncover
another story, inasmuch as' Thompson declared under oath
that other state employes were as guilty as he. Anyway the
public would know what really went on the merry game oft
loaning office-holders, including the governor, state funds,
without interest.
There is still another story in what became of the money
for it evidently went in big chunks but that of course is up
to Thompson.

A Romantic Serial of Modern Life
By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON
IN WHICH. EROS FALTERS
Lillemay said nothing. But she
wondered what these everyday,
sane people would say if they knew
that laM night the spirits of Kob
and herself had met and talked the
whole hour through.
She epent most of the day in her
compartment. She wanted to be
alone, to live again that wonderful
tivue when she had felt her lover's
arms about her and her lips press
ed to his.
Late In the afternoon she went
into the lounge and sat down be
hind a screen to write a letter to a
school friend.
Presently her mother and Har
old came in. Evidently they did
not see Lillemay. Kef ore she could
make her present known they had
melted into each other's arms. It
was then she decided to keep still.
To enow them she had been there
during their love csene would be
decidedly embarrassing to herself
as well as to thorn.
'Dearest," said Harold, "I did
not have a chance to tell you last
night how sorry I was that you
have had so much bad luck in the
lost few days.'
"Yes, It does look, Harold, as
though that deed of Rift 'put the
Jinx' on what I had left."
"And I advised you, dear Llssa,
to make that gift deed."
'Don't worry about it, dear boy
We have still enough to live in
luxury."
Have you told Lrilomay yet
that you intend to marry me?"
'No, deer. I had Intended to tell
her last night but the news we
got from California made me feel
it was not the right time to make
un announcement of the sort. Be
sides I was too tired ta discuss the
matter with anyone.' I
There was a alight pause. Then
Harold In a troubled voice said:
"LNsa, don't tell Llllemay yel."
The girl behind the screen smil
ed sardonically, Harold Kennedy
beginning to 'hedge" she
thought.
"Just as you wish answered
her mother meekly, "Hut I thought
If we were married immediately
on our return to Hollywood, we
ought to tell Lillemay before we
get there."
Thero seemed to be another
slight p:iuse before Harold an
swered. "Do you think, Llsa, that we
had better try to. carry out the
plan? I am afraid you will find
everything 'at xlxen and cevriia
when you get home. Let us wait
until you get there and seo how
the lnnd lies, before we tell any
one. Of course my dear if we were
not in a position to see each other
at any hour of the day I would in
eist upon your becoming my wife
Immediately.
"Lissa, you have had so little
real happiness, I don't want our
honeymoon spoiled by oil wells and
other business annoyances. When
we are married, dear, I want to de
vote my time at least for a little
while to making you har-pier than
you ever dreamed you could be."
Lillemay behind the screen
thought that her mother's light 1
laugh sounded a little troubled as
he said "your idea Is all right,
dear boy, but we must be married1
before all those clothes I bought1
In New York go out of style. I
have lost so much money I could
not afford nnother trousseau."
"Darling, you know it is not for
your beautiful dresses, that I am
marrying you; it is because of
your beautiful soul
"It Is because of mother's beau
lful money." said Lille to herself
as the two left the lounge to pre
pure for dinner.
LUIemay was sure that her plan
was going to work. Kennedy was
a cad and a scoundrel, was wett
ing only to get her back to Holly
wood to see If her mother hid
enough money left to pay him to
marry her.
"I'll make him show his hand.
I'll make hira disclose his na
self to me this very night,'' LUIe
may determined.
In conformity with that Idea,
that night after dinner Lille nay
strolled into the observation pl.it
form. Here she found Hat old
smoking, alone. He made a pluce
for her beside him in another easy
chair.
"i expect you are going to be
glad to get back to Hollywood
again. Harold the girl said. "Do
yo uintond acting for the screen?"
"I hardly think so. It is a tils
appointing profession at best. I
have been hoping to produce some
thing, but this catastrophe that has
overtaken Ltesa will, I am afraid,
make that impossible. she had
told me she was willing to back
me through a finance company.
"Lillemay, I am afraid that LIs-
fa does not era 1 lie what has hap
pened to her
"No. i am afraid she dooer.'t
(he girl said to herself cynically.

Dooming Democracy
The New York World announces a movement on the part
of the McAdoo forces of tho democratic south and west under
the two Bryans, William Jennings and Brother Charlie to read
, eastern democrats out of the party. The World says:
The movement outBpokenly Bcoka to act up n democratic dictator"
shin by the pouth And wont and would make It Inipotmihle to nominate
any candidate who comes from the state ot New York. New Jersey.
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois or Connecticut. '
Tho abrogation ot the two-thirds rule at democratic national
conventions Is the first objection In establishing control of tho west
ern-southern bloc which even now la being built up.
This attempt is being made despite the offer of the forces
supporting Governor Al Smith of New York to withdraw his
candidacy for nomination in 1928 if the candidacy of McAdoo
is withdrawn, and thus make harmony posible in the party.
The democrats are like the Irish, they had rather fight
than eat and while there is pleasure in fighting the common
enemy, there is much more in fighting each other. So we
have the Irish of the east clashing with the Scotch-Irish of
the south and west and having a perfectly glorious time in
whacking each other, for each is interested far more in the
other's defeat than in the common enemy.
The democrats cannot hope to win without the east, for
the west is naturally republican and the rule or ruin popu
listic policy of Bryan spells as it has always spelled, defeat
and demoralization for democracy.

A word of criticism, be it known
right now.
The head-on parking Is a Tory
poor way of parking, in the writ
tr'a opinion, whue a few Inches
per block may b saved, 'tie true,
still the average man will not be
any more economical of space,
whether he has parked the front
tire against the curb or the rear
ono.
Another view of the matter Is
that It will multiply accidents. Ik
It easier tu vetch out the front of
a car and pay close attention to
one direction, straight ahead, or i:
It simpler to twist the neck and
view the rear ot a car, through
dirty and dusty pane of glass or

To the Editor: I consider The

and If some of Its courage could
be Injected Into the courts of thl
state you would see the criminal
class soatterlnjr like so many sow
bugs when you lift a board and let
the light In on them Instead of
flocking to this slate to commit
their depredations where they
- know full well that If they are
caught and convicted the trial
judge haa a moderate supply of
bench parolee ready and ehould
he run short Governor Pierce
stands ready with an Inexhauit
Ible sup.ily already filled out

ried an article In the Open Forum
concerning the woo -begone look of
the taxpayer, the very essence and
backbone ot any country and It
spoka of the privations and self
denial that tbey undergo so that
government may be maintained. It
seems Impossible that Judge Kelly
could-reflect for one minute on
such an article and then go Into a
night session ot court tor the pur
pose ot paroling one who had Just
been convicted of appropriating
thousands of dollars of these peo
ple's money for his own use.
Judge Kelly mny ease his con

men made good the loss but bad a
less honest and capable man than
Tom Kay been In the treaeuror'e
