The Age of Service
Future historians will probably view our recent discovery
o "service" as one of the great achievements of the times
in fact it colors iill of our constantly increasing activities of
the federal government in its ever widening circle of
paternalism, necessitating so many laws that we have
become the most over-legislated land on earth. Upon it also
is founded the uplift and about it are grouped all kinds of
welfare movements, most of which have their inspiration,
like paternalism, in providing jobs for the organizers from
the dues of the servitors.
Service is Uncle Sam's main idea. lie begins at the
cradle by providing infant and maternity care. He demon
strates how to feed the baby and rear it. He interests
himself in education and afterwards in securing jobs for us.
He inspects our food, regulates our drink and looks after our
health. He tells us how to keep books, inspects our records,
regulates our business and in many other ways does for us
what we formerly did for ourselves. So much service is
rendered that it requires over half a million federal
employes and a payroll aggregating over $700,000,000
a year.
Service that the government fails to render is supplied
by the 80 or 90 state boards and commissions which cover
pretty nearly every phase of human life busying themselves
in other peoples affairs affairs at the hitter's expense.
Typical of the state service is that provided by our higher
educational institutions. At the Agricultural college we can
learn such farming fundamentals as drawing, painting and
clay modeling; such rustic occupations as jewelry making,
cafeteria management or movie-picture photography; or
such agricultural necessities as dramatics, oratory and story
telling. Wo can learn most of these at the University also,
but at the latter place we can study courses in the classics,
such as dancing, fencing, and drawing the long bow; or if
scientifically inclined we can take courses in tennis, hockey,
basket-ball, base-ball and other liberal arts. Higher educa
tion in Oregon is a synonym for service.
The service idea however is not confined to officialdom.
It pervades nil walks of life. When business begins to lag
and memberships to drop in any organization, nowadays,
and something "has to be did" to infuse pep to keep the
ball moving and the members and money rolling in, a new
form of service is devised to stimulate and revive, some new
charily or welfare work is undertaken to awaken enthus
iasm, and an organized drive made to sandbag the public to
finance the philanthropic undertaking for which the organ
ization pockets the glory and the officers spend the money.
Then there are the luncheon clubs, where service is
swallowed with a square meal once a week amid songs and
propaganda, as the members soft-soap each other over their
enterprise in discovering the golden rule, and then, with the
spiritual elation of a full stomach, go back to skin the
suckers for another week.
The service idea may be said to have reached its zenith,
its logical climax, in the Ku Klux Klan. It's "noblest lineage
in all history," namely a blatant Georgia jack-ass, provided
Ihe motto "Not. for self, but for others," the "others", of
course, being the wizards, dragons and kleagles for whose
i.....r;i l.im.iii- ivn rnnmipivializcd and the boobs were
bumped out of the ten-spots. The service consisted in
saving the "while, protesiant, Gentile Nordics" through
burning fiery crosses upon hilltops, night-riding iir night
shirts or in mass voting for the politician who paid the price
into the pockets of the aforesaid wizards, dragons and
kleagles. This absurd satire on the uplift has had much the
same effect upon service as Cervanle's Hon Quixote had
upon the chivalry of feudalism which it tU-M rowed by its
ridicule. So the collapse of the Klan marks the beginning of
Ihe end of the age of service.

A Til HEAT l'OU THIi I-TTl'IlK
I could hardly sleep that night
for wondering about Nathalie Jor
dan. There could be no mistake
about Its being her husband whom
I had scon at the door ot her
part men t house. If ho went to
her and begged her to forgive him,
would she do It? Or would she
be hard and relent lens and turn
away from him ?
I tried to put myself in her place
if Jim came to me and wanted to
begin all over aaln, I was sure
that I'd bo glad to do it. Hut then,
even though I'd tried hard I'd nev-'
er been able to stop caring for hlm.
I got up early the nevt morning i
thinking that I'd stop on the way
homo from my morning walk and
see Nathalie. I was quite sure
that she would tell me if .she and
her husband had made up their
difference.
Tho park was beautiful, and al
most empty. There were a few
horseback riders on , tho bridle
paths, and I pawned two girls who
evidently were walking to work.
I couldn't help wishing that I could
do something practical, and had a
job, so that my time amounted to
something.
felt very useless, just good for
nothing. It was only when I re
membered that I hod been of some
help to Nathalie, and to Nick, that
I felt more cheerful.
I waa tramping along a side
path, enjoying the sharp, crisp air
when I heard n man's voice flay
.Mrs. Larrabee! Just a moment!"
Turning quickly I saw Phil Le-
land at my side.
He was anything but welcome.
After the events that had taken
place at our last meeting I hadn't,
expected ever to see him again if
he could possibly help it.
"I won't keep you long," he said
abruptly. "I just want to warn you
that if I can get even with you for
what you did the other nteht I'll
do it."
"You mean my spoiling your
plan to blackmail Nathalie Jor
dan?" I asked.
He winced at my plain speaking.
"You had no right to interfere
you're as much of a crook as I
am." he told me. "I suppose you
think she's your game, and you
don't want anybody cle to step in
Well, I'm not through yet, and be
fore I do get through you're go
ing to be sorry that you .stood in
my way."
He turned then and went off in
the other direction. 1 watched him
for a moment, wondering what he
thought he could do to me. Cer
tainly my skirts were clean; I'd
never done anything that 1 need
be ashamed of. As much a crook
as he was what a dreadful thing
to say!
I went straight to Nathalie, and
told her what had happened.
"Perhaps people think that, be
cause I haven't any money, I'm
trying to get some from my friends
who are wealthy," I told her.
"That's cruel you don't believe it,
do you ?"
"Of course I don't and you've
helped mo so much that if you'd
accept money from me I'd be more
than glad to give it to you." she
said. "I wanted to tell you that
my husband came to see me last
night, and that we've straightened'
things out wonderfully. He has
begged me to forgive him ways
that he'll never go nnywhere with
anyone but me again! I don't want
him to be so strict as that, of
course, but 1 do think that, we're
going to be able to make a sue-ce.-istul
marriage out of what cer
tainly was n failure."
Her news made me so happy. I
did not find out till afterward
that Mr. Jordan had heard of tho
efforts I'hll Leland had made to
involve Nathalie in an embarrass
ing .situation and then extort black
mail, and that it had been that
news thai had sent him stralsht
io her, realizing that he cared for
her and wanted to protect hor.
Hut the next day I received a
square white box, which contained
a gold mesh bag with an emerald
clasp, tho duplicate of the odd I
had lost one evening when I was
out with Nathalie and l'hil Lo
la nd.
"Dear Nancy." Nathalie had writ
ten on the car. "Voi: lust your own
bag because I saw fit to keep ques
tlona" lo company I shall always
feel sure that Phil Leland took it.
So won't you den so accept this
from mo in restitution and as a
token of my deep, affection for
you ?"
I laughed softly a.s I picked it
up. Evidently fate intended me to
have a beautiful bag. no matter
how many times a now one had
to be given me. I thought of tho
little cheap one that I had lost,
and of the ben u t i f u 1 on o Fra n k
JiarrJsnn had given mo to make up
for it and I hen I had lo.t that,
and now Nathalie was sending me
another one.
AVhat would happen lo this
1 ng?
Jf I had known the answer to
that question, I would have thrown
the bag out of the window that
very moment.
Tomorrow A Trip South.
