The Old Roman
"The Oregon state senate will never be the same again"
says the Portland Journal, commenting upon the retirement
of the venerable Alec LaFollett of Marion county from the
upper house. It goes on to assert that it was not Senator
LaFollett's fault that state expenses increased and large
appropriations were voted, for he had done all that he could
to keep expenses down as "his voting record shows an almost
unbroken line of noes on appropriation bills during his long
and honorable service."
Alec LaFollett, long acclaimed "the Old Roman," was
perhaps, the most picturesque character in the senate, and
probably, more than any other member, voiced in his falsetto
noes, the sentiment of the Willamette valley farmers com
prising his constituency. Realizing fully that the only way to
cut taxes was to economize, Mr. LaFollett consistently
opposed any and all measures increasing public expenditures.
No matter what pressure, professional, business, or uplift
workers applied, the senior senator from Marion county
stood-pat and remained true to his convictions, indifferent
alike to censure, ridicule or blame. His integrity, courage
and stamina won him the respect of all.
Every legislative session needs a few watch-dogs of the
treasury, to sit on the lid and look after the welfare of the
taxpayers in the perennial raid of special interests, and so
Senator LaFollett, who performed this useful function, will
be greatly missed. However the genial octogenarian having
for many years served the public well, is entitled a well
earned leisure, taking with him the confidence, respect and
esteem of the people of Oregon.
Public Defender Needed
Announcement that Will R. Kins, a former justice of the
supreme court and a lawyer of note, will probably conduct
the defense of Tom Murray and his companions in the
prison break, assures these defendants adequate representa
tion for their "day in court," which is as it should be.
It is the custom of trial judges to appoint young and
inexperienced attorneys to defend those accused of crime,
who are without money or friends. This gives the more
experienced prosecution the best of it. Courts should appoint
the best talent in the community to defend those without
funds and it should be compulsory as well as part of the legal
code, for an attorney so apjxnntcd to give the best possible
service.
j All this calls to mind the necessity of a public defender ns
well as a public prosecutor. Until such provision is made,
there will always be one law for the rich and influential and
another for the poor and friendless. It should be as much
the duty of the state to defend as to prosecute, thus assuring
a square deal to all.
blaming her and sympathizing with
Bill, who had thrown hla wife at
Graham's head.
Patricia sauntered about the
room, picking up some rose petals
that had fallen on the floor.
.straightening the row of book
that stretched across the small
tables at one end of the daven
port. How could she force An
drew to realize that she meant
what she had said?
mo maid came in with some
mall, apologetic for her tardiness.
"Wo had a good time, cook and I,
at tho wedding," she announced.
"Was it much trouble for you, not
having nobody here? '
"Not much: I got breakfast my-
o!f," Patricia told the girl with
a smile, and glanced through her
mail. Appeals for money from
charitable organizations, an an
nouncement of an advance show
ing of southern models, from her
favorite modiste, a letter from her
sister. She tore It open eagerly.
"When are you coming to seo
mo?" That was like Carol, that
abrupt beginning. "It's been ages
dlnce you promised you'd come,
rind I'm yo anxious to see you. We
really are very gay in these parts
Just, now new country club Just
finished, now wing of our house
just done, new furnishings every
thing new but Keith and me, and
tho baby of coume. Only he's rap
idly leaving tho baby stage and
growing up. lie's such a darling
do come soon, Pat, before he loses
his darling ways and gels to be a
horrid little boy."
Patricia looked at the letter mus
ingly as she finished reading It.
Carol grown up, and changing the
silver monogram on her familiar
gray letter paper from "C. G." to
C. G. W," As Carol Gerard she
had been one of the prettiest girls
In their crowd; when she married
Keith she had boon the season's
loveliest bride Thon she had gono
away, and Patricia had married
and gone nway too they had seen
each other eo seldom since thejj.
"I'll go," Patricia decided sua
denly. "I'll leave right straight
away, and so to see Carol. That
will give Andy a chanoe to think
things over, and realize that I do
mean what I said to him. Oh, he
must be reasonable. I don't want
to grow like Linda Boyce, just no
good for anything but running
around and being nice to men, or
like Cicely, who blew up altogether.
Andy ought to be reasonable he
ought to holp me, Instead of urg
ing mo on. He doesn't' know what
he's doing, and I can't make him
understand. Perhaps If I go away
he will."

Church Is Declared
Great Missionary
Agency In Sermon
"The church Is ft great mission
ary organization. It was founded
for that purpose," declared Rev.
Krnest H. Shanks, pastor of tho
First Baptist church of Salem.
speaking on the subject of "Chris-
uon Stewc.'dshlp" Sunday morn
ing. "The church was never In
tended by Its founder to be self-
contained. It was not constituted
for itself. The very Inception was
for the propogation of tho good
nows. Tho promise of Its security
on the llock of Ages is based on its
testimony. The commission which
constitutes its Magna Charta en
forces a condition which is inscn-
urtiuiy bound up with its march
nig orders, 'Go ye into all the
world.
Rev. Mr. Shanks, quoting from
John Muody, said: "If Christ I
know, enough all elao unknown;
if Clirist unknown, vain though
ail else I know.
The church does not exist for
itself, he declared. The very mo
ment it becomes self-centered, it
fails in ita purposes and usefulness.
"The power, presenco and blessing
of God in Christ Jesus are prom
ised only to those who undertake
the program of God. God cannot
pour blessing into a church that
is made of air tight compartments.
The blessings must 'flow through'
if they are to be blessings at all.
Otherwise they become stagnant
and jtale and become dead weights
and chains to bind, hamper and
impede progress.
"What is true oC the church,"
he continued, "Is equally true of
the Individual CUriatiuu. Tho
church Is made up of these indi
vidual units; us are the members,
so is the church. A self-centored
life, drawing from every resource
available lor its own benefit and
enjoyment, with, no thought of
others, nor recognized obligation,
no response to. human needs, no ef
forts to bless others, is a useless,
unblessed, Christ-less life.
" 'A silver tongue is of little
value, unless the words are gold
eu.' Deeds count for more than
words. If the soul is truly con
verted, the pocketbook will be in
verted.
'A Rockefeller may give his mil
lions; a widow may give her pen
ny and the reward bo largely in
favor of tho widow."
Dr. C. C. Poling, pastor of the
First Evangelical church of Salem,
preached Sunday morning from
the text, "Apart from me ye can
do nothing."
"This is ilie language," said Dr.
Poling, "of Jesus to His desciples
on the eve of His departure. These
words are applicable to all persons
at all times. Combines are the
order of the day in the business
world. This is necessary to great
success. How much more import
ant to cuter into partnership with
Jesus for the most Important busi
ness prosecution in the world He
should be the silent partner in nil
our life's business. I am sure we
would have grenter success in all
Llie affairs of life, temporal and
spiritual.
"Without Jesus wa cannot do
anything against Bin. We cannot
absolve ourselvec from sin; to be
free we must be set free by Him
who condemned sin in the flesh
and made It possible for God to
justify us freely from all things
which we could not be delivered
from by the keeping of the law.
God hates sin and must and will
punish it wherever found. Be sure
your sin will find you out unless
Jesus saves you from sin.
"We cannot, apart from Jesus.
deliver ourselves from actual sins,
much lesjj deliver ourselves from
the inheritance of sin, for we
were conceived In ski and born in
iniquity,.' and 'we all have sinned
and come short of the glory of
God.' '.Wherefore, as by one man
sin entered into the world and
death passed upon all men for that
all have passed.' Sin is universal.
We cannot do anything without
Jesus to overcome the world.
Worldliness and godliness are in
compatible. 'The friendship of the
world is enmity against Cod'
Jesus and the world are at vari
ance, and I here vas nothing of the
world in Him.
"The Christir.n must live with
out the contamination of the
world. While we are in the world,
yet wo are not of it. But to keen
unspotted from the world, requires
the presence aud power of Jesus in
the life. Too many have so much
of the world in them that they
have no room &t all for Christ, an 1
as a result live all their lived with
out hope and without God in the
world. Paul exhorts us to set our
affections on things above nnd not
on the earth. We cannot do this
without tho power and grace of
Jesus. Paul tiled it and cried out.
Oh wretched man that I am, who
shall deliver mo from the body of
this death?' But later when tho
hold spirit took possession he ex-
clained, 'but thanks bo unto God
who glveth us tho victory, through
Jesus Christ. Through Chri.u
strengthening me I can do all
things.'
"Let us take Jesus Into every
compact and place in life; then Ha
will be with us and make Ife a
wilt be with us and make life a
and have it abundantly.
"Jesus is the mighty savior
from sin and Its power; in Him wo
are safe and secure against the
wiles of the devil und will finally
overcome tho last enemy and In
herit with Him an. eternal posses
sion, reserved for them who love
Him nnd keep His command
ments." .
BROKEN STEERING GEAR
CAUSES FATAL CRASH
Canby, Or., Auk. 31. When tlio
stteriiig gear broke early Suuduy
on a car piloted by Fred Lent of
Uio Lent Bros.' garage in Canliy.
.N'yrniau Eid was killed almost in
duntly and the driver suffered in
jured from which lie may never
recover. Owing to Lent's condi
lion, full K.rticuars concerning
the accident have not been obtain
ed. It is known that the men had
been in Oregon CUy and started
for homo. The car went into a
ditch a few miles south of Oregon
City and was wrecked. Tho fact
that the stoirmg apparatus was
broken makes it apparent that
this was tho direct cause of tho
first fatal r.ccidellt in Canby this
year. Lent is supposed to have
been driving when the car left the
road. He wa3 brought to his homo

because of nn accident which af

Word a Good Choice
Appointment of Tom M. Word, former sheriff of Mult
nomah and for many years with the federal secret service, as
warden of tho prison, if made, will reflect credit upon the
governor as there is every indication that Mr. Word is the
best qualified and most experienced of any of those whose
names have been proposed.
Tom Word as sheriff, clcancd-up Toi'tlnnd, routed the ring
of gamblers, sajoonmen, dive-owners and denizens of the
slums who had so long dominated its affairs. His every
move was contested in court by the powerful interests he
antagonized, but he won out, all along the line.'
Mr. Word knows how to handle criminals without either
bullying or coddling them. He is a strict disciplinarian and
his personal courage has been put to the test a thousand
times and not found wanting.
Until, however, the prison is taken out of politics, and
placed in control of a non-partisan prison board, there will he
little incentive for Mr. Word or any other qualified man to
accept tho wardenship..
