Luke 21:15. Vindication By unanimous decision, the United States supreme court has declared unconstitutional the Oregon law providing for the compulsory education of all children between 8 and 10 years of age in the public schools, as destructive of the ideals of liberty which this government was founded to perpetuate. The court holds that the child belongs to the parent and not to the state. Justice Reynolds declares in his decision: Wo lliinlt it Is entirely plain that the (OniR-on) act ot 1922 iin rpasoiinhly Interferes with the liberty of parents and guardians to direct the iibrinin and education of cliUdren under their control. As often heretofore pointed out rights guaranteed by the constitu tion may not be abridged by legislation which lias no reasonable relation to some purpose within tile competency of the state. The fundamental theory ot liberty upon which all governments In this union repose excludes any general power of tile state to standardize its children by forcing them to accept instruction from public teachers only. This law is an instance of" the pernicious interference of secret societies in government. Fathered by the Scottish Rite Masons, championed by the Ku Klux Klan, endorsed by many other fraternal organizations, the campaign in its behalf to control other peoples' children raised the issue of religious bigotry and caused a political revolution in Oregon that gave the state, a Kluxer governor and legislature. This school bill was clearly unconstitutional and on its face, a violation of American ideals, for it would have made the child as much the ward of the state as in Soviet Russia, yet only half a dozen newspapers in Oregon and even fewer prominent men had the courage to openly' denounce and vigorously combat it, and in keeping with the intolerance that inspired it, these were subject to boycott and persecu tion by its proponents. Now that the fires of fanaticism have burned themselves out and mass hysteria has subsided, and there is nothing to be lost in taking a position, the Oregonian and other newspapers are discovering that they opposed the bill all the time. Perhaps now that it is safe, they will discover, editorially, that the Ku Klux'Khin really existed. The supreme court decision settles the issue as it should be settled, and vindicates the attitude toward the measure taken by Governor Olcott who rather be right Hum be re-elected.

SOWJ'ION )I J-IOSTISKDAV'S Pierceized Commercial fishing is one of the largest industries in Oregon bringing in an average of over $5,000,000 a year of outside money, furnishing employment to hundreds of people on the streams and in the canneries. Its growing importance has been recognized in the past by appropriations of stale money to build and maintain hatcheries to replenish the supply. In the past few years, principally due to the ability of Frank M. Warren, when u member of the commission, and since his retirement, of Fred P. Kendall, and the organizing capacity of Carl D. Shoemaker as manager, the commission lias been put on a business basis, made self-supporting and its operations greatly enlarged. It really controls the indus try, by issuing licenses, dictating policies and enforcing statutes. Until the election of Governor fierce the commission had been selected from those recommended by the commercial fishing interests. Mr. Pierce's first appointment was a Portland physician, who when he found that the governor wanted a political machine built-up, refused to endanger a vast business and was ousted. The second appointee was an Astoria lawyer. The third appointee was a Portland lawyer, who has refused to remain. The fourth and fifth appointees are two state senators, neither of whom are from fishing districts. The fish commission has at last been Pierceized. Three politicians, who know nothing at all about the industry, or about fish, or their propagation, and are in no way repre sentative of the fishing industry, either of packer!' or of fishermen, are given full control of this $5,000,000 industry. Hitherto, the fish commission has been in politics for the benefit of the industry now it will be in politics for the benefit of the politicians. 5M-UJD1DER15P 1M T A R t Md JlilMiilS D E MHMT R I O Ijpllllp e mc L I P S I I 1111 23 1? My Ma trimonia l Vacation byvwetDare Copyright 1!)21 George Mnttliew Adams Nobody who linn not .spent some time on an Inland in tropical seas can milize how beautiful such a place tan be. VAW Ewhm's bdund and in tho ISahuinas was marvellous. All nlants Krew in the pardon, which covered" nearly all the island. Tho se;t wa.s streaked vivid blue 'and Ki-con, so that when we went swim mintj we seemed to be bathing In pure color, fn.steud of in just water. JSvery thins about the place was perfect. Never had I seen such a beautifully managed household, The aervants were perfect. The maid who was assigned to me was ;i treasure; she could do every thing, from arranging my hair to telling fortunes. She told mine the first day we were at the island, when I was dressing for dinner. Piuslc had fallen, swiftly as it does in the tropics, and I was flitting at- my dressing-table, looking out ot the wiiu'ow into the garden, as alio brushed my hair. She laid down the brush, . and handed me a pack of cards. "Shuffle them, missy, and cut into three piles with your left! hand," she said. I was amused,; but interested; I've always loved i to have my fortune told. She sat down on the floor and spread the cards out around her. "There's a man for, far away who th in Us of you," she began. That didn't surprise me especially; it was quite possible that she had heard about Jim, from Nathalie's maid, who had conic down from Now York with her. He's writing to you now," she went on, "but it isn't a letter; It's a message that comes quick through the air. And it docHii't come straight iff you. ! "And there's love, lovo you'll any 'no' to, and then say' 'yes, " she went on. "And It brings you hap piness, and it brings you pain. And I see a woman " Just then Nathalie .rapped on the door and came in. She frown ed when she saw what Cissy, the maid, wa.s doing. "IJlaek magic, Xancy?" she asked. "Better not bother with it." Her tune was pleasant enough but there was an expression In her eyes that sent Cissy scrambling to pick up the cards, and begin to bru.h my hair again. Hill JOwhHT laughed when I spoke to him about Cissy's . fortune-telling at dinner. "The servants have a lot of faith In her," he said. "She claims to be the seventh daughter of a .sev enth daughter, ami she's hit on two or three- rather important things before they happened, so of course they believe whatever she says now." "Don't let her read tho cards for you again, Nancy," Nathalie urged. "Sho can't tell you anything, and It's foolish to let her try. You'll be believing her, the first thing you know." I wondered why Nathale was so Insistent; she was leaning toward me, across the table, her face so serious that I knew she was sin cere in what she said. I had no opportunity that even ing to talk with her alone, but the next morning I came out to the ter race where she was waiting f oi lier husband, who was going to take her out in a motor boat. I brought up the subject at once. She flushed, and looked away from me. I "Before I was married, a woman I read the c finally. "Ai. I married JJfeii woman in tho and then the mos' said that he would me, that I'd decido to . and then everything woum straightened out again, and I'd bo happy for a time, but that soon a terrible tiling would happen, and bring mo both joy and sorrow. And welt, enough of her prophecy has come true so that I'm afraid to think of the rest of it. "It frightens me, and .spoils even happiness, when I remember it. So that's why I urge you not to let Cisy toll you anything; you'll believe her in spite of yourself." "Oh, I won't believe her, truly," T laughed. "I've had my fortuno told loads of times, and It never comes true. Why, a woman told me I'd be happy with Jim and seo how things have turned out! He's on the other side of the, world, devolving himself to Mrs. Eaton, and I'm hero, not at all sure that I'll ever see him again, and not earing much whether I do or not!" "Well, take, my advice, and don't let Cissy try to read the future for you," Nathalie answered. Iter hus band came down the terrace just then, and she turned to him, her face so radiant that I could havo killed Dick Jordan for ever mak ing her unhappy, They went down to tho boat Innding and I stood there watch ing them. Would I ever be so hap py as she was, I asked myself. Ol turned to see Hill Kwlng standing beside me, And my heart inswercd niy question.
