Bulbs and Bureaucrats Narcissus and bulb importers and flower lovers generally are flooding Secretary of Agriculture Jardine with protests against the decree of the federal horticultural board declaring that after January 1, 1926, no more narcissus bulbs be imported from Europe, except for propagating and scientific purposes. The board bases its action upon the claim that narcissus bulbs are likely to bring over from Europe certain insects, in particular eelworms and narcissus flies, which, it is feared, might attack field crops, especially onions. To prevent pos sible danger to onion production, it purposes to deny to home gardeners and apartment dwellers of the nation the enjoy ment of 80,000,000 Dutch and French narcissi which were imported last year for use in gardens and greenhouses and for flowering in bowls of water, on living room tables. This deprivation would continue indefinitely, since the present America production of narcissus bulbs is much less than 1,000,000 and department experts say it would take years for it to equal the amount now imported. A congressional investigation of the actions of the horti cultural board is demanded and the charge is made that it offers the worst example of government by bureaucracy the nation has yet experienced. The board is composed of five unknown employes of the department of agriculture and its assumption of authority practically unlimited. The board shuts off importations of field, vegetable and flower seeds, regardless of their importance to the commerce or agriculture of the country. It has shut off imports of trees, shrubs, roses and other plants for resale to the people of this country, depriving them of the newer varieties developed in foreign lands and forcing upward, sometimes trebling the prices of similar merchandise produced at home. Having forbidden the free entry of these plants, it can and does give permits to import the forbidden goods, thus enabling the fortunate recipient of its favors to build up a profitable business in embargoed goods. The transactions of this board are not public; its records are kept secret. No regulations binding on the board govern its issuance of permits. Before it, the citizens of this country arc not equal. One can receive what another is denied. The narcissus embargo has brought to a climax the fight against the board brewing for the past six years and nlso emphasized the tremendous growth of government by bureaucracy.

New York, Aug. 8 The mar rlase plans of two American, so clety girls and two blue blooded foreigners have gone awry. Mtas Kmmellne Marlon Grace, daughter of Eugene G. Grace, preai dent of the Uethlehem Steel cor poration Ih not to wed Sir Michael William Shelby Bru.:e, adventur ous young Scottish baronet because ho Is to marry an Kngiish girl. Ijispatchen from London last nftfht said that Sir Michael, a cap tain in the royal field artillery and descendant of Robert Bruce, hero king of Scotland, today would be come the husband of Miss Doreen iJalzIel Grcenwald, daughter of British colonel; MiKs Grace a eng-igement was announced last December from her home In Bethlehem, Pa. It was celebrated by a ball. Mr. Grace's secretary from the Bteel magnate's Hummer home at Southampton, L- yesterday said Miss Grace's en gagement waa broken several months ago and It was known to her friends here and in London. Disappointment came to Lieu tenant Ernest Lardinelll Beccl, first assistant secretary of the Ital ian ministry of the Interior, when he arrived on the liner Providence yesterday to learn that hts- con-; ternplated marriage next Wednes-j day to ML" 3 Nacy Sayles of Paw- tucket, R. I., had been postponed indefinitely. A few hours later Lieutenant Becci intimated he would return to Italy without a bride. Miss Say- thr.t a charge v. ill be filed against Bingham at once, prubably charge of assault with intent to Bingham's Chevrolet car, the same car that was seen in the Donald neighborhood and also panning through Aurora a short time after the usiitiult, driven by man with bloo'J 6 taius on his face, was picked up on a street in Portland and placed in a garage. Jt waa found that the Washington license on the car was fdsued to a, man named Bingham, although j under different initials than th.030 iven by Bingham at the hospital. It has been learned when Bing ham arrived in Portland he went to his room, changed his shirt, called a taxi and was taken to the Good .Samaritan hospital, walking into that institution alone. He le is reputed to be the wealthiest told tho nurses that he had been girl In Rhode Island. Her mother, Mrs. Frank S. Sayles gave no rea son for postponement of her mar' riage. Lieutenant Becci is a Rom an Catholfc and MLsa Sayles Protestant. Lieutenant Beccl left $27,500 Jn jewelry, his gifu to the prospective bride in the hands of custom offi cials, lie didn't want to pay duty mi. something he miyht not need HIDDEN GOLD'S LURE THOUGHT MOTIVE OF STAUFFER ATTACK (Continued from page ne) shot in an altercation over right of way by another motorist near St. Helens. Sheriff Bower brought Bing ham's shirt with nim from Port land. Two bullet marks are plain with some bloodstains on the shirt near each one. One of the bullet holes is In the neckband of the shirt and the bullet grazed Bing ham's neck, while the other was through the right breast of the shirt, just below a pocket. Bing ham ia reported to be lying at ueain s door in ttie hospital. His condition was so bad Sher iff Bower was not allowed to talk to him yesterday, but is satisfied that Bingham was in the vicinity of Donald when the assault oc curred and every indication point; to the fact be has knowledge of the assault. Henry Stauf fer anfl his two pinster sisters, have lived on the nliice where the assault occurred tor 42 years, and he is a highly lOfcpected rancher of the vicinity. He was unable to identify Bing ham, although he ;;iood at his bed side in the hospital. Stauf fer was assaulted a3 he opened a barn door, one of his Assailants hitting him over the In: ad with a club. He was dazed, and grappling with his foes, had no opportunity to get a good look at them, and as a result was unable to puss on Bingham's dontity. j Earl BTown, room mate of Bing-i ham in Portland, who had been arrested by the Portland police. was released after be established ;i convincing alibi. It developed he bad known Bingham at Castl Rock, Wash., but had lived with him in Portland only about 10 layr,. Ke had secured a job In a logging camp with another man and planned to go out on it yester day morning, hut his arrest delay ed him. Bingham also was a logger, but as near as could be learned had done nothing during his sojourn, in Portland.

His mortal remains now repose on bis torical Arlington Heights. Ia the fall of 1871 this writer from th dome of our national capitol by the aid of a field glass had a fine view of this spot. This was an old fashioned southern dwellin with the usual wide porch in front opening upon the Potomac below The guide stated the huso at on? time was part of the estate of General Robert . Lee which was I believe, confiscated by the gov crnment. As to Mr. Bryan. Will his death work an abatement in the anti- evolution movement? I should say it will accelerate ri. The movement does not .rest ,'kh anyone man nor with ten The evolutionists by rostrum and printed book are urging might propaganda . The recent debates in San francieco (last June) between Professor Maynani hipley of the Science League of Amerka and two fundamentalist ministers has aroused a wide in terest. The debates were steno- graphically reported and nearly two thousand copres have been 30U. This league is represented In 42 states of the union and in nearly 50 colleges, it is stated. I have a copy of those debates. Have reir.1 it carefully and have noted that Professor Shipley did not fail to show his antagonism to the Bible ind to the religion revealed there in, which is the fp.ith and hope of the many thousands of Christians here, and they will not stand idly: by rnd he indifferent. There will word unsheated ready to meet the toe. fso. The conriict is ou and will not end tomorrow. The late Scopes trial is a matter or Inter national intercut also. Mr. Bryan is quoted as saying that evolution is destructive of Christianity. I!e only could have meant that it is or might be de structive of the faith or confi dence in H in the faith of stnne rjeliever3, for Christianity itself is uidestructive. What now Is Christianity? It consists of the teachings and other acts of Jus of Nazareth. These teachings are acts are so many ot '.he post:; and pillars, so to speak, jf the Christian temple. And this temj.le is a divine structure be cause its ai'.thur is divine. So nothing can destroy what is divine. If evolution: is true it cannot antagonize Christianity, because It is also true. If evolution is false t cannot destroy what is true. Therefore do not fear. By the, way Jesus the Genesis story of creation and primitive marriage. Mnt. 19th chapter so he indorses a myth must we believe? Also the flood of Noah, chapter 4, and the Jonah story, chapter 12. Now Jesus indorses these three "myths" which evolution, ot course, re jects? Who is right it or Jesus? B. West Salem, August 7. Klamath Heating company, Port ind, to sell bonds In the sum of 50.000. DUMB DORA By Chick Young ITS' VISITOR'S' 'DAC AT TJ& CM SCOOT LA5 : L.S.T QO OVJEIZ Political Sports Iii JacIiHon County the politicians, including the oi'tfimiza- linnu of both parlies, arc united in a bi-partisan political organization, camouflaged under the name of Game Protec tive association. As few of the "sportsmen" hunt and still fewer fish, the chief objection of the organization is the pursuit of political spoils, and the emoluments thereof. Consequently when these spoils are filched long and loud are the wails of depreciation. In I!)22, the "sportsmen's" organization, having been Ku Kluxed, entered into a bargain whereby it agreed to supHrt Pierce for governor in return for its naming a game commissioner. The "sportsmen" delivered the goods, but the governor didn t. The cussings and lamentations only sub sided when the governor turned the commission over to the Ku KIux, which took care of the "sportsmen". Now that the governor has appointed W. L. Finley, a naturalist, instead of a politician, as commissioner, and the Klansmen have been ousted from their fat berths, great isl the grief thereat. So we have the "sportsmen" again resolutin against the "outrageous action" and all in the sacred cause of sport. A state-wide organization is proposed ti) place the game funds beyond the control of unworthy politician!). The only trouble with this program is that the politicians won't permit cither the commission or its funds out of their hands. The political faction that is out is always seeking in, and advertising the fact that only by placing it in power can the situation be saved. Anglers and hunters could not get less for their money than under the recent regime, so they can view with equanimity the situation, convinced that a naturalist and wild-life lover like r'inley will at least try to do something more than place Klansmen in office and operate private hatcheries for profit.
