No Intervention Appeal of Abd-el-Krim, Jtiffian leader, to nations of the world lor intervention to halt the war of conquest waged by France and Spain in Morocco, will strike a responsive chord in many Americans who believe in freedom for the citizens of other lands if not in their own. The sympathy of the worm is always ior tne unueraog and the Kitts are fighting uopeiess ocius. The appeal for intervention will be futile, however, as both r ranee and Spain would regard interference by out aiders in the internal affairs of a province as an affront, even though the Riffs have always maintained freedom in their isolated desert strongholds principally because their barren country was not worth the taking. In addition, none of the powers hands are clean, not even those of Uncle Sam, when it comes to treatment of weaker peoples. If France and Spain have no business in Morocco and Ahjicrs, Britain has none in Egypt, Italy in Lybia or America in the Philippines. A country that puts a military regime in control of Hayti, San Domingo, Ilondurus and Central America in order to protect foreign loans by bankers is in no position to intervene in North Africa. America would regard French protest of her occupation of the Philippines just as France would regard American protest in Morocco. It is the old, old story of the progress of civilization, Spain and France, especially France, are colonizing, civilizing and developing a region and a people that have stood still for twenty centuries, since the decay of Roman power. The Riffs are fanatical Mohammedans, descendants of the Berbers, the aboriginal white race of North Africa and ilurope, crossed with Arabs and a strain of negro. They are cave-dwellers and famed as bandits, raiding the desert caravans and coast cities and retreating to their inaccessible mountain fastnesses. Abd-el-Krim has n European education and military train ing. Many of the tribesmen he has rallied to his standard, served in France in the world war. He has conceived the grandiose scheme of founding a native empire and driving the Europeans out of Africa, figuring that the incapacity of Spain and the bankruptcy of France woud prevent effective resistance. THE "BOUND-BPS'' Wo talk of the strides we're made la "civilization;'' We prate, long and loud, or our "great cultured nation; " We boast with much pride ol our wide "learning" aud ''knowledge;'' We shower honors on "sporty" chaps from some "college; " Wo prwicb and wo write about "the uplifting of man; " We pretend to be seeking the "salvation" plan; Hut we aro not far removed from the wild savage state WbeD those barbaric "round-ups" we can tolerate. Wo babble we sing how the world grows "better each day," Then loudly applaud inhuman acts "round-ups" play; Most cruel In their nature and disposed to give pain To helpless dumb brutes and all for commercial gain! This commercialized brutality provides great "thrills," And disgusting scenes of "bull-dogging," aside from shamo, Should stamp the actors unworthy of human name. Such fierce and wicked "sports" mark but the primeval man; "Civilization " would put them under the ban. Iiut noteour "cultured" (?) gentry, who flock with stirring glee To these degrading "round-ups" awful sights to see! Cowboys displaying brute-force In efforts to subdue lllgger brutes lhan they are "refined" (?) "folks love to view! Hough, wild, riotous "fun" every savage Instinct loud; Cruel ''stunts" by heartless men to amuse a crowd! And the "Queen of the Round-Up!" What high honors to bear! Reigning o'er wild revels with develry and dare! Her snse of tine feeling must be quite l.lunted, lnJeed, And the coars';, primal instinct tt cave-woman lead. It would surely seem and we wish to be fair and Just If only a crown she covets, as all "Queens" must, Crowned with womanly modesty, some realm she might rule Without losing her glory by playing the fool! 'Tis really sad when our "amusements" clamor for gore When sights of bleeding hides moves us not to deplore; When the bellowing cry of a poor beast In Us P aln Excites no pity and wo can watch it thus slain. When wo crave and indulge In these past-times that degrade, Something's wrong In our texture we're only holt made; Or our system of culture-alleged "education" Is baaed on falso reasoning and a farce in our nation. All "Round-Ups" aro blots on our fair and beautiful State, For their trend is to lower never elevate. When only brawn and not bruin we extol to the skies; Only violence and fury is out for a "prize," We may well bo called Just a "wild and wooly" lot Had as aborigines, who don't care a jot. And see our State officials those good, wise (?) public men, Endorse these savage "shows" by their presence now and then! (Written by Lillie M. Martin, 1219 E. Taylor St Portland, Or.) The Husband Tamer By Violet Dare FATE TAKES A IIA-ND It was as an ideal day for riding, and as the four of them started out on the sure-footed ponies, Pa trlcla noted with pleasure that lunciieon parka had been strapped on the saddles. 'What a glorious day for a pic nic," she remarked, noting as usual how thouyhful Hewitt was and how well lila plans always coincid ed with her wishes. "Why can't men always carry on their business in this lazy, pleasant way?' Hewitt laughed at the sugges tion as Keith launched seriously into a lecture to Patricia on the importance of business. Keith and Carol, real children of the city and strange to out-of-door actlvtles, shambled along slowly and seemed to be clinging for dear life to the saddles, but Patricia, glad of her many canters In the park In New York, rode easily, and noted that Hewitt was perfectly pulsed in his waddle. "X feel O.U He like a part of a Bill Hart picture," Patricia chuckled; "but there doesn't seem to be any villlan around for mo to be saved from." "And you look like the Rue de la Pals, or at least a riding scene in the Follies," Hewitt observed gallantly, "Those old plains would have to brush up on the New York drive herself to make a decision. But after they had eaten the ap petizing sandwiches and drunk the coffee In their little thermos lunch kits, and the others had wan dered away In search of a spring where they could water the horses, Hewitt turned to Patricia and ask ed earnestly: "What ia your decision? Do we go on to Mexico tomorrow? There is no going back, you know, no real going back? You would never be happy again as you were. And I can offer you everything money, position, endlens devotion." Patricia Jumped to her feet angry that he should take ad van tage of this opportunity to press his suit when he had started out to bo so kind, to evade the tesue that faced them. "Oh, I can't. I can't!" she cried out, and running to her pony she swung into the saddle with a grace ful jump and hurried off toward camp alone. The pony hesitated at first, starting Into an easy trot, but she loosened her reins and urged him on and on until soon he broke into a swift gallop that seemed fleet as the wind and careless as a kite of stones and holes. It was almost a mile toward home when the others caught up with her, and it was Hewitt who first saw with a ehock that she had fashions if you were to stay long, i been thrown and that the pony was and I would have to send for a limping back and forth beside hei copy of the what the well-dressed man will wear when serving hard boiled eggs on the desert to a lady fashion plate." Their conversation, keyed to non sense, rambled on and on with nev er a note of seriousness, for which Patricia was grateful. Why could n't friendships always be like that, prostrate form as though he want ed In some way to help. "Pat,. Pat," he called, his voice gruff with anguish as he hastily dismounted and came toward her. Expertly he rai.ed her and sup ported her shoulders against his arm. Carefully he unlaced her boots and stretched her feet out "Stop, stop.'1 she begged of him "It's there, my right foot, Oh, I can't stand It, the pain " She sunk back into his arms, her face pallid and drawn. "Must be a break," Hewitt told the others in curt anxiety as they came up: "or a bad sprain, any way. Ride over there towurd the road Carol as fast as you can. It'i about time for the men to be com ing back with the wagon of sup plies. Tell thorn to wait. Keith and I will carry Pat there." Pat was only vaguely conscious of what was happening to her. Oc casionally she regained conscious ness only to find herself being car ried along toward some unknown destination. Then she felt the strong, steady hands loosen under her and a bumpy Jerky wagon take their place, but always she was conscious of a stern, nnxlous voice cautioning the driver to hurry, but to make the Journey as smooth as possible. Later there was a et range house a sort of cabin and new voh'es. "She was thrown from her horse," she heard in explanation, and then no more until the firm hands of a doctor seemed to reach down and straighten the tangled mass of bones in her foot. And though she dimly hoard t lie soothing voice of Hewitt trying to comfort her. she realized then th; It was not his she wanted to hea .Mo nil ay Her IIiLsbnml's Ultimatum iter: U service, will be held from Trinity church Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock with the Rev.

Fu- Avorftge daily net puld cir culation for the Capital Juu ni a i for tho month of September, 1925. Total dis tribution for samo period approximated 7,500. 817 Gain or 12.8 percent over Septem ber, 1924, in audited and proven paid circulation. This is tho first time tho paid circulation has exceeded the 7.000 mark, proving tho Capital Journal making greater progress and Growing Faster Than at any period In his tory because it prints all tho news and dellvors the goods. Some like It, some don't, but all read it. Member Audit Bureau of Circulations DUMB DORA By Chicle Young Stream Pollution In its campaign against stream pollution, the state game commission has called the attention of Willamette valley cities to the Oregon law against dumping sewage in rivers. The protest reads in part: A pi'ivnto or niunlcipnl corporatlou Mint dumiH filth Ittto a flow lit;; :.trc;un transfers corruption tn pt'uplo lowur tlowu. It Ib like man who dumps his dirt over tho hack fence Into the yard of bid neiKhhor. Tho practice Ib wrong hoth legally and mornlly. U 1 the duty of a manufacturing plant to take rare of Ita wntc pi'oiluctH. A Hawniill ts always Bunnuoncil Into court for dumping saw dust in n river. Why la a pulp or woolen mill allowed to wa.ih Its ncid. dyea and other waste Into puhllc 'waters? It la the duty of the officers of a municipal corporal inn to Wike seme steps toward reltevlng our rivers from their load of filth. Cities along the Willamette are the worst offenders. Kugene, Corvallis and Albany nil dump their sewage for Salem to drink and Salem in turii3 dumps hcr's to poison the water for Oregon City and other cities lower down. Some of our factories color and pollute the stream also, but the cities themselves are the worst offenders. Indeed it is ques tionable whether it is safe to bathe in the lower river, let alone drink from it. All of this is needless and can be avoided by the construc tion of septic tanks. Cities like Ashland and Medford, Bend and Pendleton have solved the problem and it ia time that Willamette valley cities were compelled to net. The game commission is on the right track in trying to remedy the big evils rather than waste its time on trivialities. Stream pollution not only exterminates fish but endangers puhlic health. If the cities refuse to act, the game and health commissions should compel them to. Why the Seizure? We presume, in pursuance of his solemn duly, City Attor ney Chris Kowitz, single-handed, raided American Legion headquarters Monday during the reception to visiting legion naire (hum corps, seized six hollies of what he declares veal bee.- and sped away with the evidence which ho deposited W'lh the chief of police, where it still reposes. No arrests were made, no complaints filed, and nothing has lieen done. How does the city attorney know that these six unopened totlles contain the "real stuff" as he declared? Is it possible that he sampled them, or others like them, in pursuit of duty, of course? If not, as no complaints had been filed with him, how did he know that they contained forbidden brew? And not knowing, what right had he to make the I seizure? What law authorizes seizure without a warrant on I suspicion, even by a city attorney? if the city attorney, knew what he was doing, and was certain that he was fearlessly enforcing the law, why did he not place those responsible under arrest for law violation? Why did he not at the time arrest those in charge of the headquarters, as well as tho officials of the Legion. Of what possible use is the evidence, if there is lo be no prose cution? Why did he make the seizure and publicly insult the Legion members by branding them as law-breakers? If the city attorney acted sincerely, but is in doubt as to .what these bottles contain, why does he not have their con tents analyzed, as ho dors in other instances, where other bottles have been seized? Are Legion members any differ ent from others that they should receive immunity from one sworn to enforce tho law? City Attorney Kowitz owes it to himself as well as to the Legionnaires, whom he has aspersed to clear up the mystery, prosecute if prosecution is due or apologize nnd resign if there is no ground for prosecution or seizure.
