Matthew 13:41. Another Reactionary Victory Election of Field Marshall von Hindenburg as president of Germany at the first popular election held since the creation of the republic in the crisis following the collapse of the monarchy and flight of the kaiser, indicates the strength of the junkers, as well as the personal popularity of the candidate, who Is venerated as the hero ot the war Dy nis countrymen. Whether the election presages the return of the Hohenzollems, to whom Hindenburg has been loyally devoted, remains to be seen. An unrepentant and unrcgenerate Germany still secretly bent on military revenge to reestablish her place in the sun, could not be expected to do otherwise, and there is little to indicate that the republic has any hold on the affections of the people at all comparable with that ot the erstwhile monarchy. Hindenburg's career has been purely a military one and he is not likely at his age, 77, to change the ideals and opin ions of a life time. He fought in the war With Austria in 18C6, and in the Franco-Prussian conflict of 1870 and his victories over the Russian in the world war made him idol of the German people. Throughout his career he has been an implicit believer in the fuedal doctrine of the divine right of kings and a venerator of monarchy, and his unwilling candidacy was forced by the royalists. Germany has now joined the ranks of great nations whose policies are dictated by reactionaries. Italy, Great Britain, the United States, Spain, and France have all installed reactionary governments, while Soviet Russia, posing as radical is really the most reactionary of all. Liberalism is at its lowest ebb as it alawys is after a great war, and it will probably be years before it is returned to power. Refuse to Sign County judges and commissioners of Oregon have organized to combat the proposed referendum of the auto bus and truck lines against the bill passed by the legislature placing a tax upon them, the proceeds of which would partially pay for the destruction of highways caused by their use as free rights-of-way for private profits. People are asked not to sign the referendum petitions which would delay operation of the law for two years and therefore permit two years more of pounding highways to pieces without cost to the pounders. The people of Oregon have an investment of over $50,000, 000 at stake. Ninety percent of the damage to these high ways is caused by four percent of the traffic that of the heavy busses and trucks operating as common carriers for individual gain. It people sign the referendum petitions, the private car owners and general taxpayers will continue to pay the high cost of maintaining and repairing these highways. Is there any reason why the bus and truck companies should be relieved of paying for the damage they do to our highways? Is there any reason why the private auto owner and taxpayer should be compelled to dig up from their own pockets money to repair the damage done by a traffic trust ? I;i there any reason why anyone should have the right to utilize and destroy without recompense, a public investment for private profit ? Refuse to sign the referendum petition when presented and thereby help put an end to an outrageous graft.

Koyal Ki'4rlii"erH (ab.) men, mothers and maids A Romantic Serial of Modern Life By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON ALL FNDS U ULL Ullemny ail threw hereelf on her mothera breaot. ''Mother, I did not really- know I was ao hor rid,' the said. "I thought I was doing U all for you. I fue 1 was Jealous of you as wall as Harold. Oh, I don't mean I had any Idea that I wanteil Harold, for I knew that I would never love anyone but Rob, but the eifht ot your and Haroiu's happiness made me -al most insane. "i could not bear that any oth er woman, even my mother, Hhould have a man in love with her while some man had thrown me aside. "I know now I was determined that Harold shoul 1 offer up for me his ambition, his future life, and than I would consider whether or not I would give it back." Across Lillemay's head Harold Kennedy and Melissa Vail ex changed a pitying entile. 1 told myself I was trying: to show you, mother, that the man you lovei was unworthy of you while all the time 1 knew that worthy or unworthy you would have with him at least two years of exquisite sympathy, of beauti ful friendship, of perfect union if you married him and I was jealous of that happiness. 'I knew that mortals were not entitled to more than tills in the shor. span of life that was given them and so I went on with my pitiable airs and graces to make tho lover of my own mother love me." ! 'I have been deeplcaule, despi cable. Can you over forgive me?" interrupted Harold. "Lille, I can uee that you do not know mothers niiy better than you do men. Your mother has nothln? to forgive, for she knows that in spite of every other woman in the world, in cluding you, she hns my sole devo tion." Lille looked at him frr a mo ment and then stumbled out into the patio. She wit'eed again down to the swimming pool and again down to the grovo of olives. Her head v.as aching. She could hard ly see. She seated herself on a green mound and dropped nor face down onto the cool gra.t. Subs shook her. She felt herself despised by both her mother and Harold. She never wanted to face them again. Scon her sobs grew fainter ant' her eyelids closed. w. "Lille, Lille, where are ycu? I'm coming a or tho world to hold you in my arms, to tell you that I've never loved anyone but you. I must say this to you. Jerry will not care, for Jerry is dead and we are alive." It was a spirit voice, yet that of Kob. "Why are you vo unhappy? My darling, my darling, do you not know that I have always loved you ?" "Rob, I have ben very wicked, &nd when you know you will not iove me any more." "Lille, I would lve you if you were the wicked eat woman on earth. I cannot live without you. Come, come with me now." Li 11 em ay opened her eye. She did not know, for a moment, where she was. A moc'ting bird overhead was singing Its heart out. She sat up and tried to think. How long had she beon asleep? It mutt have been hours, for the sun had unk almost behind the horizon. The sound of voices and laugh ter came from the house. "Lille. Lille, wners ars you." called Harold. "Lisaa told ma to find you and brlmj yea in to tea." As no came nearer Lille saw that he had a telogiwm ia bis band. She reached for tt and read; "I hay reached Chicatro. Only four days and then you. Do you remember that night In the Tull eries gardens, where our shadows met and parted. In the future. Lille, our shadows will never part." U was from Rob. "It Is a real movie ending," he paid. "Your sweetheart is hurrying across the detsert to find you here ainon,; sunsliino and flowers and Llpsa and I are going to married tomorrow As they walked back to the house Harold said seriously: "Llsa has auked mo to tell you that she hopes you will never rofer to the mis takes we nil have made since you came from Europe. From tonight wa nhall all meet with a better un derstanding of each other." The two walked into the great living room, flooded With the gold of the netting sun. Liaa danced up to thorn in a gown of crimnon ;md gnld. With a gay little lauli she turned to Ovid Mirchmond, who was stanJing by her side, and aid, "What do you think? Lillo may has been in love all the time wftji that man Robert , McLean who married that girl on her death litd iu Paris." "Yes, I know,' answered Macrh icont. "Nannie told me." "Ho Is now on his way out here to marry my girl. Harold, will you give them your paternal bless ing?" Harold Kennedy passed his arm around tho gay little crimson and gold figure and, turning to L:lie. said in mock seriousness, "I shall certainly expect the young man to ask my consent to the marriage ot my daughter, for tomorrow Liana and I will be husband and wife."
