TODAY'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE

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.

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.

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.
