A Prison Change Another change is impending at the prison, the third during the administration of Governor Pierce. The tragedy of the convict break and the consequent exposure of the lack of discipline and inefficiency prevailing at the institution, made the change inevitable, just its the scandal over the liberty granted prisoners assured the dismissal of the prev ious warden. Failure of the prison regime can be ascribed to politics and .the Ku Klux Klan. As long as politics and klan affiliations are the principal requirement for position, just so long will . incompetency prevail. Selection of employes upon political, religious and fraternal lines, instead of experience and qualifications could not have other result. The Klan affiliations of the governor have done much to 'discredit his administration. His fish and game turmoil, as well as his prison troubles are due directly to the kluxing of these departments. The same scandal would have followed the kluxing of the asylum and other slate institutions, as well as highwawy work, had the efforts to "accomplish it been successful. Governor Pierce will probably profit by his experience, as lie has in the fish and game affairs, and ignore the Klan in his prison reorganization, especially as it has disintegrated in Oregon and is no longer a political factor. It has brought him grief enough. PEN FORU Contributions to This Column must be plainly written on out side of paper only limited to 800 words In length and signed wltb the name of the writer. Articles not meeting these speclO cations will be rejected. , ,j To (he Editor: Wilt you pleao allow me space In your valuable paper for a few lines. I see in the newspapers nrtlcloa after articles, cartoons after cartoons, cartooning and picturing Oregon Jones, Mur ray, Kelly and Willoa chilling and cutting their way through the cell Ing and loof nnd down over the prison wall where Oregon Jonon and 2 noble guards lost their lives and the noble old time guard Luke Savage and Janice Nesinlth was seriously wounded and it reminds me of John I). Ilockfeller and a cartoonist several years ago when Mr. KockfeJler was on the witness stand in the defense of the Stand ard Oil Co. of N. J. when Judge Land Is fined the Standard Oil Co. $13,000,000 and they never payed it and it was a good thing they did not why? because if they had the consumer of their products would have payed every dullar of it and added several million to the oil Co.'s bank account. When Mr. Kockfeilcr was on the witness fitnnd the cartoonist cartooned and drew his picture and when Mr. Ilockfeller came of the stand the cartoonist showed him his picture aa he uppeared on the stand and J. D. wa so Impressed with the picture that he said to the car toonist I would give anything for your ability as a . cartoonist. Yes ways the cartoonist and I would give any thing for your ability as a financier but know this that if the good man of the house had known In what watch the thief would come he would, have watch ed and vould Tiot have suffered hie home to be broken up and there have given anything to had those cartoonist to cartoon and picture Oregon Jones, Murry, Kelly and WIlIos chiallng and cutting "ttiejr way through the celling and roof and down over the wall that1' the good man of the house would liavo watched and not suffered his House to be broken up and Oregon Jon en and those two noble guards Sav age and Nesmith might have bin living and well today. I have read the chalange of the exgovenor to govenor Pierce and the warden ajid I see no sign of bravery on the face of the chaleng. Why? because the ex govenor knew if they would over take the escaped prisoners that their deadly aim would be cen tered on the govenor and warden and that ho the ex govenor would stand a good chanco to get back to Salem with out gottlng hurt and had it boon after night I believe It would have ben fun to have seen the ex govenor dodging back and fourth at every hoot of tho owl in the tree and it would not have ben and sign of bravery for the good man of the house to have rushed in to the turn keys office alone to combat those desperate men without a single weapon and I would give any thing for that cartoonist ability as a cartoonist that drew Mr. Rockfeller's picture for I would cartoon and picture the man's picture that deserted and returned to Salem for help that he might not get hurt to get the good man of the house at Aumsville with hia gun between his knees through, Stayton and Sublimity. I would probily Include ginn linn or Lewis Lachmand and I would car the capitol building to so if the govenor and the warden was after him and I would cartoon him as having already fallen through the political trap and lit In our noble govenor lap and never more as govenor of Ore -pass In through those beautiful capitbl doora it ap pears to me that it Is high twelve; and high time for those untimely articles and cartoons to be called from the newspapers and stop tht political hatred envy and atrit towards two men that Is perform ing duty and sewing the peopN as wol las It la possible for any two me nln Ore to do and should those three recaptured prisoners fall through the states death trap may all who knows the worth of prayer pray God that they may fall in our blessed Redeemers lap and live with him in peace and happyness and sing God's praise forever more over on the golden .shore. S. B. MILLS, Flax grower and hauler, Aumsville, Ore. To the Editor: Two very enlight ening editorials have appeared In your columns under the dates of Augufiot 25th and 27th; enlighten ing In that they show to what ex tent the editor has kept abreast of modern psychological and crimin ology research. The editorial of the 25th Is rath er amusing when one stops to look at It carefully. You term the writings of your rival editor as 'uplift bunk while you go on in your endeavor to disprove him and merely substantiate his theory What please did you prove by the five classifications of criminals that you gave except identically the same thing that the Statesman gave In paragraphic form? Your editorial in Thursday's pop er shows a lack of harmony with. modern psychology and criminal; investigation. Such investigations have been conducted by men who have gone far deeper into i Showing at the Grand "Pllra'W,! ;'( i 1 m ti I mrW Ml 1 ,V It E5TELLE TAYLOff AS M1RIAM IN CECIL B. DE MIL.LE'5 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS' A PARAMOUNT PICTURE an accurate verdict as to the causes and cures of crime. The. conclu sions arrived at by these men are not the work of some mere theor ist who for publicity endeavors to force his own pet theories upon the public. On the contrary, such con clusions are the result of years of investigation, scientific Investiga tion, understand, conducted separ ately and collectively by many men. Men ranking highest in their line whose sole desire Is to estab lish scientifically the cause of crime so that it can be scientifical ly dealt with. It Is not 'this sort of twaddle by well-meaning uplifters,' that 'ac counts for the crime waves sweep-1 ing the country and the tremen-j doua increase on crime in the j their United States,' as you claim. The la no doubt In my mind but that toon him dodging back and fourth science than has the layman and I aftermath of war and uncinploy- preas is continually handing out In detail along with the many freak laws are all strong contributing factors to the present crime wave. Jn your publication of a clipping from a Corvallis paper you advo cate one of the best methods for the increase oi crime the public execution of three criminals. If the flight of executions and tortures served to obliterate crime, crime would have been obliterated long ago. The same primitive motive of revenge that prompts the sol dier to renewed action when he sees his comrade killed by the ene-j my also prompts the criminal to seek revenge for the killing of hl.s companion. Intimidation is effec tive only where fear is the pre dominating characteristic and a convict Is by no means necessar serve to arouse u greater hatred, among the comrades of thoae put to death by force, for that force. Did the display of the body of Jones, terrible and grewsome as It must have been, accomplish any good? Cortalnly not. Modern psychological Investiga tion has made wonderful strides in tho field of criminology and es tablished truth which the think ing person of today will not sit back and see disregarded whilo tho vicious punishments of a lower civilization are ut into practice. You prate much about the per son who will not accept tho theory of evolution which science Itself admits can never be proven and yet you will not accept the proven facts of modern psychology. Are you logical? Tho effects of hered ity and environment upon the in dividual in the making of crimo which you deny are among tho simplest proven facts of psychol ogy. MARY IIAZZARD UUDROW.

The lo- ciihi won the count over the Al- banv team in a match played on the local course by a score of 39 to 4 and are anxious to duplicate the .stunt. The Albany team has been working hard, however, and are just as certain tnal tuey win even the count by taking the locals Into camp. The IIMhce members havo been playing good golt this sum mer and with added improvement will make It lough on their oppo nents the rest of the year. A large ily a coward. On tho contrary delegation is expected to attend our govenor and warden would and peeking around tho corner of eo are far tho better able to give ment as well aa tho crime diet tho such an execution would only the meet. DUMB DORA By Chick Young The Cause In exnlainihtr why publid ownership is seldom profitable, Congressman Madden, of Illinois, told the tax conference at Portland this week: fiovnnimenl neenclea are not Qualified to operate any business on of which anv profits are to bo mado. Why? More or less politics mooilv ,nre Patron ii icq to nass out. the demands of influential upbuilding of political prestige at public expense aro the things tha account for most of our governmental troubles. This i true and exnlains the inefficiency existing in political office, as contrasted with private business. It also accounts, in large manner, tor tne progressive mueaw taxes and the failure to secure tax reduction. "Patronage to pass out, the demands of influential friends to satisfy and the continual upbuilding of politicul prestige at miblic expense" is one of the whys and wherefors of taxation and its steady growth as the fields for public expenditure expand. The Husband Tamer By Violet Dare this thijtii When Andrew relumed to the apartment after seeing the Hewitt lmo a cah ho was even angrier than before. "Well, this 1b once when you finished my prospects," ho told I'utrlcla aullenly. "If only I could huve stayed home this morning. -or could have persuaded Hewitt to (?o with me. It would have been an right. I can't boo yet why you didn't alny here with Mrs. Hewitt, Instead of gallivanting off to the Aquarium with hhn." "Jut boeaufio I was doing my Work ns you've taught me to do it, Andrew," his wife told him quietly. Think buck over the year that We've been married. Hcmember what you've Bald to mo more often than anything elo 'He nice to him!' You must havo (mid that to me fifty thousand times, It seems to mo. I've had to give tip nil my own interests and nnuwenienta and put yours In their place.

They'd sunke me more attractive, make yiie better able lo entertain thewe men nnd their wives. 'Andrew, do you remember what I told '"U I wanted more thnn anything else when you nuked What I'd like for Christina last year? I told you that tho only thing In the world I wanted was a baby. And you enld we couldn't afford onel You said we'd have to wait a while that children were a luxury we couldn't have till wo could live In -the country and glvel more time nnd tnougnt 10 mem, But other people, people who have much Jess than we do, hava child ren and bring them up right here In town.

"I have more money than I want now, dear; you know that. You like having the older men realize that you can take care of the so cial end of things for the firm, vmir van II v la flattered but tne truth Is that we'd get along jvisi as well if we didn't do so much entertaining. We'd have Just much money, but not so much pros tlae. Oh. Andrew, be truiiirui with yourself, Jiwt this once. "You were ecu ndn luted because of Cicely Jerrold's elopement with that (Irahaiu man.

And he wanted chance to tnlk to Graham, to hold him so that the men who had Just good a real citato investment for him wouldn't got to him. You told tne that yourself. Well, Cicely was the bait. Hill urged Cicely on, told her to bo nice lo Graham. And Cicely wan bored with her life, hated It, jijt as Linda Iloyee hales hem, just tt I hate mine.

And no matter how dead tired tho wife Is. she must rush around and clean the hotmo up a bit nnd do some extra marketing and dress hcrcclf no that she looks her very best, so that her husband will be proud of her. It's part of the rtushani'.-and-wlfe game, of cnurxc, nnd wives are glad to do It. I'd be glad, too, occasionally. Hut not nil the time. "I want to use mH0lf for some thing worth while, Andrew, In- st end of being exhausted nlwnys because I've worn myself nut en tertaining people who don't care for me. and for whom I don't care. Just po that you can feel thnt you're a aurress. if you really love me, you'll 'be willing to Btop, and let me be the kind of wife and mother I ought to be.
