BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
ror the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give
grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them
that wall: njirightli. Psalms 84:11.
Peanut Politics
In his letter of resignation from Uie state game commis
sion, to the governor, It. W. Price alleges that former state
prohibition commissioner George L. Cleaver, who was ousted
by the legislature from office, but is still on the state pay
roll as a "special agent" for Governor Pierce, solicited the
assistance of three members of the game commission in an
effort to "frame-up" on game Warden A. E. Burghduff, on a
liimor charge so that the latter could be discharged from
office.
It is further alleged that Mr. Cleaver claimed he acted
with the governor's approval, presenting a letter to this
effect, as apparently this was the only way the, warden
could be ousted without the executive's violating pledges
given during the legislative session to secure senatorial sup
port against the bill removing the game commission from
his control.
The incident is typical of the kind of politics Governor
Pierce has played ever since his inauguration. Mr. Cleaver,
with the assistance of one Weinberg and the approval of the
governor, spent several thousands of state money in the
effort to "frame" Oregon's United States senators and other
federal officials, as well as to "get" the speaker of the house
of representatives. That is evidently why the taxpayers
continue to pay Mr. Cleaver's salary.
Not very lofty politics perhaps and not very practical,
because it defeats itself, but what else can be expected from
mi administration that will force a million dollar shortage in
state finances to punish the people for not voting the way
Ihe governor desired?
West Ineligible
In denying stories of his candidacy for United States
senator, former Governor Oswald West, in an interview in
the Portland Oregonian, is quoted as saying:
I haven't Ihn sllKhtost. .l.r.iro lu Ko In WashinKtmi. I winil to live
In Oi'i'Uon, where I can lo unions diemln anil lead the simple lite.
Nlc United Slates Keliale has hetiMiie liiwly a ri Ii man s rlilh. I am.
inwever, deeplv Interested in the selelli ( a I'llll.il SI a I es ""iiritor
mil feel we should Rive Ihe matter siiln-r tliouRht. Ihe e.ni'li. ale

Heins "hone dry." I could hardly command the iirohihilion vole.
Furthermore. 1 inn' eonslitiillonally opposed to InlerterliiK with any
man's rellKlon. I don't Klvo u linker's d where and how he wor
ihips so low; m he keeps his nose out of my nffalrs. t don'l helieva
that III order to Ret to heaven you have lo travel mrr any particular
toll road.
I possess many other views which. If expressed, would make tne not
only an unpopular candidate for senator, hill would sl Ii the pro
fessional uplifter. who has hecome more of a pulilic nuisance than an
earwltr.
Mr. West is right his candidacy would Tie as hopeless as
that of John W. Davis for president was. Only demagogues
or hypocrites or time-servers need apply for high public
office in Oregon. It is necessary to play the political
prostitute to secure popularity.
We are glad to notice that extended observation and
experience and the wisdom that conies with years , have
broadened the ex-executive's outlook, increased bis tolerance
and soured him on J he uplift, of which he was one of the
initiators. As one of the original bone dry advocates, it is loo
much to hone that Mr. West may yet take a drink, and so
become eligible for office with the Anti-Saloon League, but
iwihntis eventually he will consent lo the other fellows
i-eiriilntim his own personal habits instead of the League's
doing it through slate coersioti.

My Ma trimonia l
VA CA TION ' by Violet Dare
A 'XltU' SOUTH
I felt rather proud of myself for
what I had doie In helping isaui
alie to straiKhten out her affairs,
but Viif-'in!;i look the wind out of
my s;iilH by findinK fault with me
the day after my meeting with Tlill
Lc-land in the nark, when he threat
oncd to Kct even with me fir what
I had done.
"The winter is. really over, nnd
I'm friu'httully disappointed in
-you,' idle told me. -ue can i ;u-
ford to apend nnother one here
in town, and I'd counted on you
to well "
"To find a rich husband, nnd
pret rid of Jim, and marry the oili
er man," I supplied ;s she hesitat
ed. We never had discussed tiling
quite that frankly, though I had ill
ways known what she wanted, and
xhe had realized that I knew.
"Yes. I've spent far too much 0:1
vour clothes, and this apartment.
to set no'relurn for it. Your fath
er made a cash settlement on me
that's the money with which I
bounht .stock on a niaiRin and
now that's gono. What we're to
do I don't know. Ii! you'd only
used common sen.se you could have
married Frank Hiirrlson thin
Hp rin g."
"Always providing that I sot a
divorce from Jim," I reminded her
"And I couldn't have married
Frank, because he's crazy about
you; you know that quite us well
as I do."
I hated the whole world in
which I lived, that morning. It was
Hueh a tawdry, empty life, in
which women traded husband a.s
children trade dolls. I wished that
I could get away from it all.
"Well, our money is so near
Rone that we'll have to give up
thlti apartment by the emi in nexu
month," Virginia went on retuin..
'And what we'll do then 1 uou i
know."
"We might, Ho to work. 1 sug
gested . flippantly. "I'd make n
good clerk or waiireuf. 1 m suit-,
Uld you could be an olUelaJ cnap-
enme. or sell hat., or do soinethlim
like that."
Virginia merely glared at me. 1
knew that she'd almost rather
starve than go to work. rersonau.
it had always seemed to me to be
a great adventure, to go out ln "
the world and get a J.ib and earn
money, and run into all kinds of
people. If only Yirr.ia would
marry Frank Harrison and leave
me free to do as I liked:
I went to Nathalie Jordan' a.
Huon as I could escape from the
house. I found her surrounded by
naniohlets (lom one of the big
travel agencies.
"f.nnk. N'ant-v." she erid. tossing
one of them to me. "The tropics!
iiiypt! China! How'd you like lo
pick up and sail away from NVw
York, down to the land where it')
summer'"
"Don't a.de me you might
well ask how I'd like lo fly out of
the window," I told her gloomily,
"That's absurd. Hubby and I
were talking this morning at break
fast of how much we'd like to get
away, and his yacht is in commit
sion again now; we've been plan
ning a little trip. Want to g
along 7"
"Oh. Nathalie, it's what I'd love
better than anything else," I cried
"When do we s'.art?"
"The first of the week. I think.
We've about decided on Nassau
have you ever been thme?"
"I've never been an where."
answered. "I'd love to go. I've al
ways been crazy to go to tho Ha
hamas," "All right that's settled! But
l-in afraid wo can t gei mucii mi u.
party together on such tdiort no
lice. We'll go to Miami by train,
md the yacht will no umen uown
nut meet us there. Now, lef seo
about clothes want 10 go auuji-
pingV"
She was as nappy unu
who's been promised a wonderful
treat. Yet a week ago a trip to
Nassau would have meant nothing
her. I wondered if 1 a bo ho ra
diantly happy 'f Jlni were to come
back and tell me that he still lov
ed me.
It was useless for mo to go chop
ping, for I hadn't any money, nnd
Virginia and I already had huge
bills at the shops. Hut Nathalie
insisted on finding out what I lik
ed, and when I got home that af
ternoon my room was overflowing
with huge boxes, full of hats and
frocks an ', cunning sports cbdhes.
"Oh, I can't let Nathalie give
me all these," 1 told Virginia in
dismay.
"Why not? She has IojuIh of
money, it's a pleasure to her to
give you things," Virginia nnswer
cd; she can always make herself
believe that it's a pleasure to oth
er people to give things to her or
me. "Now. what's the meaning of
all this? Where are you going?"
I told her. She .sighed, and rum
maged through my desk for ciga
rettes. "Well. I hope you can land a
rich man and that you'll have
.sense enough to take him," sho re
marked, "if you don't we'll go to
the pool-house."
