' Control of Senate
Death of Senator Ralston of Indiana following that of
Senator Ladd of North Dakota strengthens the administra
tion in the senate, for whle only two votes are changed they
spell the difference between victory and defeat in the coming
congressional session.
Though the republicans had 55 votes in the upper house,
not more than 47 could be depended upon as eight frequently
drifted to the opposition as insurgents, and four more, Hiram
Johnson, Norbeck and McMaster of ' South Dakota, and
Schall of Minnesota, successor to Magnus Johnson, were more
or less uncertain quantities.
The administration, with the loss of the eight progres
sives, was in a minority when the latter voted with the
forty Democrats and one Farmer-Laborite, making 49 votes
as against 47. Death has therefore played into the adminis
tration's hands by replacing a democrat with a republcan
while no successor to Ladd will be named until the people
choose one next June.
The senate will therefore stand 48 republicans, 39
democrats, 1 farmer-laborite, and 7 insurgents and one
vacancy, so that the administration will have a majority of
one, in case of coalition against it of democrats, insurgents
and the farmer-laborite.
The Wilson Anathema
Postmaster General New has refused to authorize the
Issue of stamps bearing Woodrow Wilson's portrait in con
nection with the Wilson Foundation and Memorial, although
Wilson'3 successor's face appears upon stamps authorized
for the Harding Memorial movement. '
Mr. New's explanation of his actions, is that Harding died
in office, while Wilson died a private citizen and that the time
elapsed since his death is too shqrt for his memory to be
given the honor it may eventually receive.
Yet Theodore Roosevelt also died a private citizen and
within a few months of his death, his likeness adorned
Btamps. AH of which shows the bitterness of the political
partisanship which pursues Wilson into his grave.
There was another instance of this malignity exhibted
when the Income Tax Division of the Treasury Department
decided that donations to the Wilson Foundation were sub
ject to tax, while those to the Roosevelt and Harding
memorials were exempt. Evidently the anathema on every
thing pertaining to Woodrow Wilson is a party heritage and
does not lose its strength with time.
Killing the Farmer's Friend
A Canby rural mail carrier shot a hawk on the road, the
other day and. when he went to pick it up, the supposed dead
bird took a peck.that put out his eye for which no one can
blame the hawk.
This federal employe broke several laws and regulations.
It is against rules to carry a gun on duty, while delivering
mail. It is a violation of the state law to shoot on a public
highway. A hawk is one of the most beneficial of birds and
one of the farmers best friends, daily destroying its weight
in varmint, and as it is useless as food, there is no justifica
tion in its slaughter.
As a result of similar wanton slaughter of eagles, hawks
and owls, all birds that justify their existence, the balance of
nature has been destroyed and a great increase jn rabbits,
diggers, gophers and mice is causing an economic loss to
. every farmer in the land. All of these birds should be pro
tected by law to prevent their extermination, which is now
threatened.

It was a n pw senwntlon for Jillly
Ijanc, the Jealousy that swept over
him nn he saw his wife- ride off
with Dob ltnmlall In attendance.
Billy had never before seen Marie
on horseback. Ho know that as n
child she had ilwnys had her own
horsoa, but after her marriage to
him their poverty had stripped
her lite of all luxuries, and she hud
never ridden,
And rifrw here alio wim, nrnnx
InRly pretty in the smart habit she
was wenrhiR, with n handsome man
at her Hide, riding nwuy from him!
For a moment ltilly forgot that
Mario had left him because of hln
own devotion to another woman,
forgot that he htl In rcallly driv
en her from him v?hen his 'own
uccpss made It possible for them
to mingle, with the people of the
world she had belonged in before
her mnrrlage to him. Ho forgot
- everything but the fact that Marie
Was his wife; a mere matter of n
divorce could not do nway with
that feellnc He could not havo re
aentej her solnfr nway with ltan
dall any more deeply had he and
Mario never separated,
'What' the matter, Billy?" Car
Ollne Phillips nskcrt tauntingly.
You look o If you'd lost some
thing." "Oh, Caroline, I I didn't see
you," ho said lamely, turning to
fnco her. "I Just came over to
talk with Marie about some mat
ters of business thnt weren't
atrnlghtened up before si e wont t
Paris to net her our divorce."
"You'll have to make an appoint
ment way ahead of time if you ex
pect to got a chance to talk with
Marie," Caroline replied. "She's
awfully popular, you know. I
never real lied before what a lovely
poruon Mario Is, nnd how Irresisti
bly fiho attracts men without any
thought of doing no. Why, Bob
Itaiubill haa been dodging matri
mony for yeara, and ho wna lost
tho mlnuto he saw Marie, llc'n
perfectly devoted to nor. I'm hop
ing she'll many him. He haa money
and position and all that, and ho'd
make her such a good husband."
Hilly wiacpd as If she had stuck
a sharp pin Into him. The thought
of Marie married to another mnn
was unbearable. Somehow he had
never considered that possibility,
In the days when ho was yielding
to Jnnny's fascination. He hadn't
thought much about Marie to tell
the truth. And she had told him
no frankly that she still loved him,
that there never could be anyone
else for het well, she'd been
wrong! Gointi off this way with
Randall, tho minute she was free!
He tried hard to bo angry, but
couldn't.
Instead ho could only remember
how devoted Marie had been dur
ing the years when they were strug
gling along on next to nothing,
how happy nnd cheerful fiho had
been when they had almost noth
ing to eat, how she urged him to
take what money they hSd nnd
spend It on the materials ho need
ed for working on his patents, pay
ing thnt they'd got along somehow.
Rhe had been such a good com
panion, never complaining, never
minding how hard she had to work
She had never seemed to mind that
she was giving up nil her youth,
all the wonderful times that she
would havo had If she hadn't mar
ried him, to struggling with him for
Suddenly Billy I,nne. sitting there
In the brilliant sunshine nnd star
ing out over the gardens that sur
rounded the Wiilllppa country home
taw himself as he really waj, saw
what. a mistake he had made. Marie
was wonderful, and he had lost her
had lost her companion hip, her
love.
Instead he had Janny. At the
thought of her he smiled, Janny
was such a child, such a fascinat
ing, spoiled, delightful little thing.
Oh well everybody makes mis
takes, and with Janny he'd build
up a new life. Resolutely he re
fused to think of Marie any long
er, telling himself that when he
and Janny were married he'd find
life with his second wife quite as
wonderful aa it could possibly be
with his first one.
Caroline Phillips, watching him
as ho got into his roadster and
drove away, shook her head re
gretfully. "Billy's a dear, but he's an ut
tor fool," she told herself. "Run
ning off after that nddlepated lit
tle Janny, attracted by her blonde
hair and her cute ways, and not
seeing how empty-headed and
empty hearted she is! Ho's ruined
his life by losing Marie and he
could havo held her forever, if he'd
Just kept his head after he made
his money, oh well I only hope
Marie's not still In lovo with him,
nnd bent on ruining her life, by
finishing It alone, just because she
can't havo Billy."
At that moment Mario was rid
ing swiftly along a country lane,
with Bob Randall's horse close be
hind hers. Randall had been nic
er than over thnt morning, but her
mind kept going back to Billy, re
calling the expression on his face.
She knew that she hnd done right
in riding away with Randall and
keeping her engagement with him,
even though Billy had appeared.
And yet somehow, she wished
that she had stayed.
"I must remember that he does
n't care for me any more, that It's
Janny he loves," she herself. ''I've
got to go my way, just as he's go
ing to go his. It'll be easier after

The attractive young man to whom Gloria Swanson,
film actress, was married in Paris, is not Marquis De La
Falaise, but plain Mr. De La Falaise, according to the
official birth and marriage records of France.
he and Janny are married; then
I'll realize that It's hopeless to
want him, and maybe I can stop
loving him."
And with that bitter consolation
she rode on through the beauty of
the woods, while the man whose
horse oped so swiftly after hers
watch e'd he,r, adoring her from her
beautiful little head to her smartly
shod heels, wondering what her
answer would be when he told her
that he loved hor.

Tall Men Organize
To Demand Rights
With 33 Members
Thirty-three men, measuring six
feet or more In height, residents
In and near Salem, met with Ben
jamin Ostllnd of Marshfield and a
delegation of Long fellows from
Marshfield and Portland, at a ban
quet which saw the Salem Long
follows club launched last night.
Ostlind Is now president of the or
der, which is now national In scope,
is becoming "international, lntor
planetory, or Interstellar, if we can
get Into touch with them." Actual
organisations exist, however. In Bio
De Jancro, the Hawaiian Islands,
Australia, New Zealand, England,
Italy, Prance and Canada, Ostllnd
atated. The international move
ment was started by Ostllnd last
summer at the international Ro
tary convention, to which he was a
delegate. "Out of the 6000 or more
there, there were about 500 who
were 6 feet or more tall," he said.
The Longfellowa, who say that
for years they have suffered la
silence while everything In the
world has been made In consldor
atlon of the short fellow only, are
going to demand, among other
things, the following.
Pullman berths that are not sev
oral Inches shorter than the occu
pant. "Hundreds and hundreds of
times I've slept In a berth In which
I had to shape myself like the let
ter S," said I. L. Patterson, of Eola
who was present.
Clothing that doesn't let the
hands, ankles and toenails protrude
out too far. Certain clothing com
panies have already agreed to car
ry specially constructed shoes and
ajckfi, Ostllnd said.
Hotel rooms with chairs pot
constructed for men who are Just
ns tall when they stand up' as
when they alt down, beds In which
the tall man doe-tn't have to lie
corncrwlso. and mirrors in front of
which lie doesn't have to sli down
to comb his hair. The Longfellows
really want to catch sight of their
own fnces once in a while, like oth
er people do, they say.
Bathtubs in which they can get
their "knees and stomach wet at
the same time."
Theater seats with room for a
mnn's kuoes behind the row in
front of him. Thirty-six Inches,
back to back, should be the mini
mum for tho Longfellow section of
a theater, Ostllnd stated.
Awnings a tall man does not
have to crawl under, tree brandies
the same.
Whon they get their rights, tho
LongfolowA declared In song,
"Low Awnings no longer
Will bump lofty brows,
Tall oaths will no longer
Distress kindly frnus."
. The Longfellows charter Is to be
left open for another month, al
lowing anyono who Is eligible to
become a charter member. At last
night's meeting the SS men prcs
ont were from every walk in life,
according to what they told about
themselves, including the doctor,
the lawyer, tho merchant, the boot
loggor, and the man with "no vis
ible means of support." Salemltes
present wore as follows: j
William Shlprell, Wlnfteld Clark, i
T. M. Bruute, Brusa, Kills Yon
Kschon, Keith Brown, Percy Eakin.
John W. Orr, Jack Leach, William

Carl T. Pope, Rodney Alden, Frank

and lid Potter,
At an early date tho Longfellows
