The French Debt Issue The financial stability of the world depends iust as much upon the settlement of the French war debts as future peace depends upon a security pact for France. Nothing could precipitate a greater industrial depression throughout the globe than u French financial crash, with resultant bank ruptcy and repudiation of debts, and without an international agreement maintaining the integrity of France against aggression, another world war is a certainty. The Dawes plan temporarily, nt any rate, settled the German reparations and provided a basis for eventual liquidation. Equally important is Hie adoption of a plan for the liquidation of French and other war debts. The French proposal is to pay America about $4,000,000, 000, in annual payments for 02 years, beginning at $25,000, 000 a year and going up to $90,000,000. This is little more than the principal, interest amounting only to about one-half of one percent. The American proposal is that the French pay the principal plus 3'a percent interest both being figured in annuities, the amounts growing larger with the years. Money advanced to France during the war was largely spent in America for supplies, and the whole amount could be charged to the price paid for winning the war without seriously feeling it. Moreover, the French stood the brunt of the attack and suffered not only the greatest casualties, but the greatest destruction of property. Therefore the United States should be lenient and not play the role of Shylock in negotiating a settlement. The Changing Fair The Oregon Stale Fair is a progressive institution and grows with the state. Every year sees it a little bigger, a little better, a little more complete than the year before. The fair is an exhibit of the state's resources and products and reflects its livestock, agricultural, horticultural, indus trial and economic progress and development. It is more educational and instructive than ever. The social revolution wrought by the auto, is in evidence at the fair. Vast crowds come and go at will, instead of lingering for days as formerly. Thousands visit the fair without even seeing Salem. The movie and radio have undermined the popularity of the tinsel shows and sure-thing games. The elimination of betting has all but killed the race track. Other new features, such as the horse show, have been added, but do not replace the old. Yes, the fair is changing with the times and becoming more and more, as suitable buildings are provided, a compre hensive display of the resources upon which our prosperity is founded and less and less an amusement enterprise dom inated by carnival and racing features lo entertain the public on a holiday. The Husband Tamer IJy Violet Hare ii er caressingly, noting the eaay grace of tier movementu, the proud oarrluge of her head. There had been talk not long before of glv lng him a diplomatic poat ot the flrat Importance. What a diplo mat's wife she would make! How capably and graciously she would entertain for him!

P. ) With killing late yesterday of Fred Brown, life termer at the state penitentiary here, finis was written on a career of crime which probably hud few parallels in the country. Brown was shot down by a guard -during an attempted pris on break which he and Hoy Smith, another prlsonor, were preparing to make secure with aid of explo sives. The men were fired upon Just as they were fixing to set oft sev eral charges ot uitro-glycerine. Clarence K. Moreo, mail clerk at the prison, was also killed during the fusllate of shots and Smith 1e in the prison hospital, where his chances for recovery are said to be slight. Ho was wounded in the shoulder, necessitating the ampu tation of hie arm. Brown's unlawful operations began early in life. At the age oi 10 he was convicted and sentenced to the state penitentiary for the murder of an elderly couple In Dundy county. He was pardoned after serving seven years. After obtaining tits freedom Brown wnt to Iowa nnd embark ed upon a series of crimes ranging from burglary of houses to attlo mobfle theft which kept him hi and out of the state prison there for a number of yea 113. In 1920. Brown went to Omaha, was arrested and pleaded guilty to grand larceny. Ho received a sentence of from one to ten years in the Nebraska state prison on this charge, but fatc Intervened again and ho was paroled. Probably the most sensational capture iu the mini's career of crime was enacted at Omuha in May, 1922, when, after eutlciug two young women into an auto mobile he drove them to hia hut on tho outskirts of the city and kept them, chained up for two days. On' the second day, the women managed to attract the ot teutiou of a man who was working iu a field adjacent to tho hut and tlio man started to the cabin to rescue them. He was Intercepted by U row 11, however, who drew two guns and forced the man into the hut where he was also chained up. After telling the man he was go ing out to dis his grave, Brown departed and during his absence the man managed to free himself and notified officers. The officers arrived but iu thf meantime Brown had fled in the man's automobile which had boe'.i parked near the field. Tho prison ers wtM'c released and then follow ed one of the most senational man hunts ever conducted i this sec tion of the country. The fugitive fled from town to town and everywhere he went a trail of crime was left behind. He was finally apprehended near Medicine Bow, Wyo., after a gun battle with a sheriff's posse in which he wns seriously injured. He was brought hack to Omaha j on a stretcher and placed In the county jail. Several days later he was given a Hfe sentence in the penitentiary for kidnaping. Physically, Brown did not have thp appearance of a gunman. He was scarcely five feet tall and weighed lesa than a hundred anj twenty pounds.
