The Referendum
The Oregonian, which is dry only editorially, opposes the
proposed referendum upon a modification of tiie Volstead
act to permit making light wines and beer, as follows:
Prohibition was adopted as n national policy, by constitutional
amendment, by tlio vote ot the legislatures o all the states, except
ouo or two.
Not a single state has reconsidered Its action not one. Why not?
Because the majority, and not the minority, controls.
That Is not nil. Tiro majority means business. The minority
does not know what It means, nor what to do, though It knows what
it wants.
Prohibition was enacted by the votes of congressmen and
legislators who, under coercion of an organized minority
captained by the Anti-Saloon League, which is financed by
Rockefeller and the Steel trust, voted dry and remained wet.
These same congressmen, none of whom have ever taken the
oath of abstinence and who drink as regularly and as often
as editors of dry papers, enacted the fanatical and absurd
Volstead act over President Wilson's veto and thus made us a
nation of hypocrites and law-breakers.
If the majority favors the Volstead act, as the Oregonian
asserts, the referendum election would settle it. But there
is nothing to indicate that the majority does favor it, for the
Volstead act has failed to accomplish its purpose. Instead of
emptying jails, it has filled them. Instead of abolishing
crime, it has produced crime waves. Instead of making for
temperance, it has increased intoxication and alcoholism. If
the people are tired of it, they have a right to say so.
Sumptuary and coercive laws like those now on the statute
books, defeat themselves and gradually are either repealed
or remain as doad-lettora. All the laws imaginable will never
advance us one inch towards uniformity or standardize our
appetites or beliefs. As Thomas Jefferson said: ' What has
been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world
fools and the other half hypocrites."
for anything. I merely mention
ed what you'd aid to Louella when
we got home"
"Yes, and of course she went
wtraight to her mother. It was tor
riblel I don't know what Jim will
say to me. What wo the stock
she bought, anyway T"
"Oh, she bought some share In
a new real estate development
that's being backed by several men
here In town. Including your
friend Keel Gardner, who's sitting
next you. Then the bottom foil
out of the whole thing, as It was
bound to, and she got caught; will
loe a pretty piece of money on the
wholo thing. I'd have told her not
to take 'em if she,'d consulted me
in the first place, but she thinks
nobody but Jim knows anything,"
lie concluded moodily.
Noel Gardner und he'd beon so
kind!
"Maybe ho could help me,"
Cynthia thought to her-self. "May-
bo ho d buy back those shares
from hor, and lot me buy them
from liiin. I'll ask him If I can't
.see him tomorrow at ills offico
about it."
And sho turned to Gardner with
an eager little smile. Louella, from
hor place across the tablo, noted
it, and drew her eyebrows to
gether disapprovingly.

Missing Salem Girl
Killed By Husband of
Week In California
GAMP COOKHOUSE BURNED
Mill City, Or., July 10. The
cook houso of the Sullivan Lod
ging company, located about a
mile north ot Mill City was totally
destroyed by fire Wednesday
morning. The house contained a
quantities ot groceries and sup
plies, all ot of which burned. The
ire is thought to have started
from a spirk from the cook stovo.
French Ratify Pact.
Paris, July 10 (A. P.) The
French senate today ratified with
out discussion the two Washing
ton arms conference treaties, per
taining to China. The chamber ot
deputies already has ratified
them.
Details of the death of Pearl
Hill, wolt known 18-year-old 3a
lem girl, following; her mysterio ie
disappearance frcm her home bore
three weeks apu, became known
todey. The e'rl, who graduated
from Salem high school less than
a month Ago, was married to a
Filipino named Viliafrauca last
week, and was shot by him last
Tuesday In San Pi ego. The nun
died a fow mii.utes after hor
death, turning the gun on him
self. No hint any impending
tragedy, or word that the girl had
been married re;:(.hed the parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Hill ot
2173 Broadway, until after the
shooting haI occurred.
From the beginning of her trip
to San Diego three weeks ago, tlio
girl's career is charged with mys
tery. The parents did not know
where she was until they received
a letter from her, written on the
train, stating thr.'. she was on hsr
way to Han Diego and assuring
them that she was safe and urging
the parenls not to worry about
her. Previous to receiving the let
ter Mr. and Mrs. Hill believed
their daughter to have gone to
Portland to visit a married sister.
At the time she left home she
went with the avowed intention
of visiting a friend In the city and
was expected back within a few
hours aftor uhe went away.
Tho parents had received se7
eral lettora from the girl whilo
sho was in San Diego, each one
assuring them that aha was in
good circumstances and urging
them not to worry about her. By,
a coincidence tho parents yeet
day received a letter from
which nrrived
the telegram announcing her
death. Yesterday's letter, which
must have been written shortly
before tho tragdy occurrod, said
nothing of any ticuble or that she
had been married lor approxi
mately a week.
Practically nothing Is definite
ly known of the girl's circum
stances since leuving home, be
yond tho (act that h is stated
to have made the trip south :n
company wUh a girl friend. Miss
Hill was IK years at the time. Sue
had lived in Salem virtually all
her life. She belonged to the Sun
day school of the First Christian
church.
The reports reaching here Indi
cato that she had left her husband
and that tho shooting followed an
unsuccessful attempt on hl3 pari
to effect a reconciliation.
SCIENTIFIC
TESTIMONY
IS ATTACKED
(Continues fi-om Page One)
tho Tennesseo law against tho
teaching of evolution in the public
schools was placed in the hands of
a Rhea country grand Jury for tho
second time here today. when
court convened for the trial of the
24 year old school teacher, Attor
ney General A. T. Stewart asked
that the grand Jury be summoned.
Judge Ttaulflton Informed the
grand Jury men that some question
had arisen as to the legality of tho
indictment against Scopes and the
ease would be given grand jury con I
her slderation again. The point at isflue
few hours nftsr was the contention that 30 days Tennessee against
had not elapsed after the call fur
the special session of the grand
Jury and the meeting of the body.
A last minute change In counsel
for the defense was Indicated by
the failure of John t. Goosey, Day
ton attorney, to appear with the
other lawyers in court after hts ab
sence from a conference of defense
attorneys lost night had been re
garded ae significant.
Bryan Is Cheered
During the first two hours of to
day's court session one outburst of
cheering came from the hundreds
of spectators crowded into the
courtroom. It marked the arrival
of William Jennings Bryan to be
gin his work in connection with the
prosecution of Scopes.
Several school boys, former stu
dents ot Scopes, were called before
the grand Jury to testify. They
wore followed by the presentation
as evidence of Hunter's biology,
the textbook used by the defendant,
and the testimony of Walter White,
superintendent of the Rhea coun
ty schools and prosecutor of tin
case.
With a prayer by the Rev. Will
iam M. Cartwrlght, pastor of tho
Doyton Methodist Episcopal church
South, the special term of Rhea
county circuit court was conven
ed here at 9:10 o'clock for the trial
of Scopes.
After the prayer by Mr. Cart-
wright, Judge John T. Raulston
rapped for "order In the court" at
9:14. Sheriff R. B. Harris an
nounced that court was duly In
session.
Pose For Pictures
Activities of the court were held
up for a few minutes while coun
sel for both sides posed with the
Judge on the stand. A dozen pho
tographs were made. Clarence
Darrow was in his shirt sleeves.
The others were in coate. Judge
Raulston posed holding his gavel
aloft.
The Judge Instructed the sheriff
to seat all spectators and permit
others to stand against the walls.
'Mr. Attorney General, I am
calling the case of the state of
Scopes," announced Judge Raulston.
The attorney general asked that
the grand Jury be drawn and in
the meantime counsel from out
side tho state were Introduced to
the court and wolcomed In the
courts of Tennessee by Judge Raul
ston. , The Judge assured thorn that
they would be accorded all privil
eges by resident lawyers.
Court Asks Order
The calling of the names of
grand jurors proceeded with fre
quent suggestions of "lets have or
der" from Judge Raulston.
The Judge broko his eyeglasses
and was forced to leave the bench
to get Mrs. Raulston 's assistance
in repairing the damage. The op
eration was successful.
When tho grand jury box was
filled, the judge asked If any were
ho situated at homo that they could
not servo on tho jury, tho judge
suggesting that not more than two
hours would be necessary. Attorney
General Stewart amended this by
a suggestion that 15 minutes would
be sufficient time. At this assur
ance ono reluctant grand Juror
withdrew his objection to serving.
Judge Raulston administered the
formal oath.
Proceeding to charge the grand
jury, Judge Raulston said that
some question had arisen as to the
legality of the previous meeting of
a special grand Jury and he decid
ed to reconvene the grand jury
and charge its members again. Tho
judge announced that he would
use substantially the same charge
he used at the previous meeting oi
the grand jury. He read the act ot
the general assembly prohibiting
the teaching of evolution, and then
read the first chapter of Genesis,
as he did at the meeting of the
grand jury May 25.
Jury Instructed
The withdrawal of John L. God-
sey, local member of the defense
counsel from the case was Indicat
ed as the array of defense attor
neys filed Into the courtroom and
he was absent. Mr. Godsey did not
attend the conference of defense
After he had read from the
Bible, the judge pointed out to the
grand Jury that If It was found
that the law had been violated, It
was the duty ot the Jury to Indi
cate the guilty person or persons.
He added that the question of the
wisdom ot the law did not enter
into the equation so far as con
sideration by the body was con
cerned. He said that although a
misdemeanor It might bo consider
ed a "high " misdemeanor. He
dwelt at some length on the possi
bility at harm resulting In a dis
regard of the limitations of respon
sibility In tho school room.
The grand jury retired to consid
er tho case submitted by the state
mil a recess of one hour was ordered.

Big News
The farce opening today at Dayton, Tennessee where
dogma is attempting to utilize the machinery of the law to
protect itself against scientific research, will have unlimited
first page space in the newspapers, not because it is of great
moment, except to demonstrate how limited this enlightened
nation is, but because its triviality constitutes its appeal. It
is much ado about nothing.
Every year we seem to be growing flightier and to demand
more in the way of sensation and less in way of intellect.
The great news stories are no Ionger those of historic events.
Thev are those of unimnornnt and trilling occurrences. The
calamity gets a tenth of the space devoted to the experience
of a nobody.
The stories that have received the space this year, all over
tli luilion. were those of a man imprisoned bv a slide in a
cave, of a dog team's race over Alaskan suow-fields with
serum, of a futile flight over tho Arctic polar-cap and of this
medieval Tennessee procedure.
Meanwhile such events as a Mohammedan uprising that
threatens to oust Europe from Africa, a Chinese revolution
against foreign aggression, quakes that crumble cities of two
continents, scarcely receive honorable mention, and would be
crowded out altogether by a Loob and I' rank trial or a 1-alty
Arbuckle case.
One Wife on Approval
Q Ry Violet Dare Q
Hie AtwnU'rs Dinner Party
Back In her own home again,
Cynthia wandered about nltnlesnly.
Site was far too angry at her
mother-in-law to sit down and he
quiet. Over and over sho told her
self that Madame I.eland bad had
no right to bo so unju.st; It was
unreasonable to suppose that a new
coiner in the family, like Cynthia,
would know Juwt what matters
wore to be told tho rest of the
family and which ones were not.
"How could I know I hat l.ouclla
and Stanley weren't to know thai
she'd made those bad investments;
she's alwaytt telling me how won
derful nut'lla is how could I sus
pect that she didn't tell her every
thing." Cynthia demanded of her
self. If only Jim wero homo! If
only ho hadn't gono nway, or had
taken hor with him. she wouldn't
have told Stanley that Madame
Iceland had made the Investments!
She went over :iiul over the ground
qulle uselessly.
Sho dressed with care for the
Atwatorw' dinner that evening, al
though she would not ndinll even
to herself that she was doing it ho
eauso Noel (Jardner was to be
there. It didn't seem exactly rinht
that When sho had been married
no short a time she should tnke so
keen n Interest In a man other
than her husband.
And yet ho bad been so nice!
And the other men whom sho had
met in this town had been so un
interesting! Her frock was ono of her pret
tiest ones, a pale bluo chiffon em
broidered In crystal beads, niado lo
emphasize a new silhouetto that
had only recently boen approved
by the Parisian designers. It clutiR
to her slender form almost ns light
Jy as a Princess model, and al
though rather extreme, was so well
suited to her demuro beauty that It
escaped being too dating In ef
feet.
Resolutely she not out the make
up box that she had Ignored since
her marriage, because Jim didn't
like It. She had. assured him that
sho used make-up because she
loved to put it on, but he had
frowned and told her that ns long
s sho didn't need ft, he considered
htr use of rouse end mascara noth
Ing short of utter folly.
Hho applied It carefuly now. Just
a hit of rouge on her cheekbones,
bluo powder on hor eyelids, miui
euro for her eyelashes but none for
her brows, because they were dark
cnr.iiKh and It made tlieni look stiff
and hard. A touch of rouge on
her Hps. not enough lo deepen their
pale pink tint, but Just enough to
outline them more definitely. A
suggestion of blue powder In the
tiny elert In hor chin; pale tan
powder over all, softening. Mend
ing, making it nil look natural.
Sho clipped into her frock, let
Krnnees al liifd it anil clasp tho
few r.iMcnhiKs: gathered up her
blue velvet evening cloak and fold
ed Its chinchilla collar about her
throat. Ten minutes afterwards
uhe was entering th Alwaterrt'
druwlng room, Just n few moments
later than anyone else, realizing
that Noel Caidiier's qnizicnl ey
wero flludying her, that half the
men In (ho room, in fact, were ro
ftardlug her with unalloyed appro
val.
Her brotber-ln-Iaw look her Into
dinner, but Nod Gardner wit
hor left, and monopolized h
through tho first two courses with
out regard for Stanley's protects.
At Inst bo turned reluctantly to
lilrt dinner partner, and Stanley
claimed Cynthla'H ntlontlon.
" Vou'ro neglecting me nba mo-
Cully." ho protected.
"(if rom-Ho I nin; you deserve to

"I supposed ynu knew that;
when you mentioned ihe Investment
he made while yon mid ho were
honeymooning I took It for gi ant
ed that ebo was willing to let the
iwtt of us know about It."
"Well, ebe wasn't, she scolded
mo dreadfully this afternoon, and
I refused to stay with her till Jim
comes back, and went home. I'm
furious with you, Stanley.'
'Oh, Im no sorry, child." He
