"Without or with offense to friends or foes 1 sketch your world exactly as it goes." bkon. Seeking Santa The Portland Journal is sending an expedition from Nome to the Arctic wilds to find Santa Claus, a piece of journalistic enterprise not exceeded since the New York Herald sent Stanley through the dark continent to find Livingstone. It desires to prove that there is a real Santa, with real live reindeer, etc. Marshall Dana is probably the originator of the enterprise, desiring to bring Santa down to launch his campaign for the senate. But he has overlooked a bet in tailing to send the only Arctic explorer qualified for the job old Doc Cook, who knows all about Santa, the north pole and the Journal and is a kindred spirit. Underneath the telegrams sent to Nome and the assertion that "thousands of Portland children are receiving actual letters from Santa Claus, mailed from Icy Cape", the Journal twice runs its slogan "It's all here, and its all true." Just like Doc Cook himself. There are many, however, who do not believe that the elusive Santa lives at the north pole, and pay their good money in the hope of locating him in a mine or in an oil well Even Doc Cook sought him there. Many Salemites thought Santa had deserted the frozen north to bask in the perpetual sunshine of that tropic isle Palmeto del Verde off the coast of Sinaloa known as the Garden of Eden, and financed expedi tions to discover him. At any rate, we wish the Journal better success than it has in its efforts to get news, but doubt its discovering ability. Any paper that could not find the Ku Klux Klan in .Portland or graft in Portland's police department will have hard work finding Santa Claus. Who Runs the Schools? Tonight the Salem school board will be called upon to decide whether it manages the high-school in accordance with slate law, or permits presumptuous pupils to run it in detiance of the statutes and the board's rules. Discipline is one of the most ' important subjects that schools are supposed to inculcate. As a matter of fact, it is among the most neglected, which accounts largely for differ ences between youth of today and those of a generation or two ago. High school pupils nowadays are prone to not only select their own courses, but run their schools as well. Youth of today conceives it has an inalienable right to do as it pleases and indulge in pursuit of pleasure according to desire. Hence we find high school boys organizing secret societies in defi tnce of the law and looking upon their conse quent expulsion as martyrdom and themselves as heroes. In this attitude, some of them have the support of parents who ought to know better than to sanction a move that spells demoralization for school and pupil. It is to be hoped that the school board stands pat and enforces its rules against illegal organizations. If it doesn't, it might as well resign and let some one run the schools who can. Billy Sunday has evidently the same ignorance and con tempt for history that Henry Ford has. In his farewell sermon at Portland he cited the horrible example of Benedict Arnold, "brilliant student who graduated at 1G from Prince ton, ruined a girl who killed herself, was vice-president of the United States", etc. Give the devil his due. Benedict Arnold has sins enough to answer for, without saddling upon him those of Aaron Burr. ECOND WIVEC 1 By VIOLET DARE A KKY TO TIIK I'UTirUU interesting (HuurIi sho wna In Hob Itnnilnll, Janny l.nil no in ton tlon of letting jjiHy talk too long wiui ma ex-wile. "Hilly dear, I want to go over and arrnngo with tho Mortons about that motor trip we're taking with mem, fjio exclaimed, stcnnlnir bo tweeu him and Mario nnd slipping one arm through his. "Come nlong." And nodding prettily over nis smoulder to Rnmlnll and Marie, alio towed him away beforo ho could say anything mora than hasty goodbye. "I don't want to Intrude wnm a none of my business," Hob Randall remarked, "but how earth that man can look at that girl when you wore once his wife well, it's too much for me Love sees what wirt nnnarent without It," Marie replied, trying hard to make her voice sound as If she didn't caro whore Hilly went or with whom. 'Mutiny's really awfully atractlve, at;d awfully popular." Randall looked down at her quizzically. No doubt nmong those who like her typo," he rot lied. "I can't see It. A woman like that drives mo mad. Mrs. Lane, won't you let me know where you live In town, so that when we go back I can see you? I want so much to. And I dare hope that you'll want to see me." "Oh, I I probably shan't be in town," Marie answered hastily. "I'm thinking or making some Visits." "lint after that, after they're over?" ha asked. "Where will you be then?" "X don't know," she replied, glad to tell nit of the truth. And it was true enough, certainly, that she didnt know ivhere she was going to be; she'd find a hnll bedroom some where that she could afford, but as yet she didn't know where it was going to bo. wen, j, m determined to see you, unless you tell me that you don't want to havo me around," he told her. "You see, I oh, you know how tremendously I'm at tracted to you. you can't bo blind to that, though I've tried hard enough to hide It, You're tho most companionablo girl I've over met era going to bo friends, aren't wo r ies, of course we are," Marie replied. "Then let's shako hands on it, seal tho friendship," he exclaimed, holding out his baud to her. Sho smiled up Into his eyes as she laid nor hand In his. And Hilly Lane, looking back at mem, saw the sealing of that com pact, and wondered what It meant. Jonlousy flamed In his heart, as ho watched them. It was hard to re member that now ho had no claim on Marie, that ho had given It up, voluntarily. Ho set his mouth grimly ns he turned nway; he'd mixed his own medicine, and he'd take It, but why had he been such a fool? As they walked on over the golf course, pausing while the two con lestants played, then walked 01 again. Hob Randall told Marie some or the many things that he wanted to do In town with her that year. They'd ride in tho park, they'd go for long walks, go to concerts nnd theaters, and perhaps sometimes she'd go with him to his free clinic, down In tho slum, where the poor of the great city came to him and ho tried to heal them. And Marie, walking by his side. noting tho way he shortened his long stride to match It to hers, told herself that all these plans of his were based on the assumption that she would have that great luxurv. Ime. at her command. He couldn't know that every moment of her time was to belong to the firm she would be working for. But how delightful It would be to follow out those plana of his, to be wakened In the morning by a phone call from him, and go out while the city was Just bestirring itself for a ride on horseback through the fresh morning air. How wonderful to sit by his side as he talked to the children of the poor, giving all his heart and soul to them as well as his medical Hklll. What a wonderful life It was that ho was offering her. And oh, how marvelous it would be to ac cept what he offered. She had never tried to use her beauty or charm to make a man do anything; In fact, Billy had been tho only man who counted in her life. Now sho realized that, if sho wished to do, so, It would bo a sim ple matter to make Bob Randall propose to her. As a matter of fact, It might be rather difficult to keep him from proposing. She know that he car ed for her, possibly more than he himself realized, Sho knew, too, that It would not be hard for her to love him. In many ways marriage with him would give her what had been lack ing In her married life with Billy. And yet jhe could not think that she wanted to marry Randall, or even that she wanted to en courage him to think that some day she might do so. Now while the memory-of Billy was so clear, not while merely hearing his voico could make her heart beat faster. Later, perhaps but not Just yet!. Tomorrow Tangled Threads. Vienna. Tho score of a mass composed by Carl Maria Von Web er and thought to have been I'jet in a fire in 1303 has come to light Berlin, Germany. Prederlch Wilhelm, former crown prince, is the defendant in a suit by a news paper editor for Uberous defama tion.

Oct. 27 (AP) Tes timony of MllUcent Rogers Balm as to certain expense of the marital venture with the Austrian Count Salm Von Hoogstraeten is under consideration by Supreme Court Justice Van Siclilen of Brooklyn. The heiress to the Rogers mill ions after having protested against being compelled to testify person ally in trial of the claim of Dr. Emil Kam merer, Vienna lawyer, for services rendered In getting her marriage validated by the Austrian government appeared perfectly composed when she entered 'the court room yesterday, for a pre liminary hearing. She was the only woman present, and lawyers, reporters and the Judge rose and bowed formally when she entered, remaining on their feet until the countess was seated. While she denied responsibility for Dr. Krammerer's claim of $G119 for legnl services, she admitted she knew he was employed In gottlng Austrian government recognition of her alliance with her much mar ried husband In order that she might legally bear the title of countess. She admitted also that she. had paid some money to Kam- merer. 'I pi Id other bills of my hus band's too," she said. She denied that she had ever paid a tax of 1,800,000 kronen to get her title validated. She admit ted having signed papers in con nection with Dr. Kammcrer's ser vices, but said she was working solely for her husband. Dr. Kam- meror says the paper was a retain er. The bobbed haired countess was dressed in giey and wore a ropo of pearls around her neck. A report er asked what kind of fur sho wore and sho laughed "sheep or, no probably goat." She gave her name as "MllUcent Rogers Salm," but was addressed aa "countess." When she loft the courtroom, photographers asked her to pose but she said: "No, my pictures nev or do me justice." The countess returned from Pa ris with her parents after a brief honeymoon with the county, whom sho married secretly. The count Is now in Austria. The countess and her baby are at her parents' home. STAUFFER CASE SUSPECT TAKEN Charged with being the eecoui man wanted for assault on Henry Stauffer, Donald rancher, twi months ngo, John Weinberg of Portland was arrested In Salem yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Sam Burkhart and is being held on a charge ot assault with Intent to kill. Walter Birgham, the other man alleged to be involved, has heen In jail for several weeks and it is stated that Weinberg's arrest followed a tip given by Bingham. Stauffer was assaulted on hie ranch aa he was about to enter a barn. He was brutally bit but came back at his nssailants with a gun, wounding one. The wounds led to Blngham'a arrest after be had secured ad in lesion to a Port land hospital. It was believed the assault on Stauffer grew out of the belief that bo had a consider able sum of money concealed -somewhere on the ranch. DECISION TO FIX STATUS OF ALL FRATS (Contmueo. from Pago ono) roncoua newspaper reports. Meanwhile the boys who wer3 ousted yesterday uuve sought legal counsel. Exactly what tho result uf their quest (or a legal champion will be, cannot be determined un til the events take place, but it le known that in some quarters where they have sought legal ad vice, thoy have met with little sympathy. 17 Bovs Snsnended. The number ot boys ousted na3 been swelled from 12 to 17 Bince the first announcement yesterday. The four who thought by their brother members to be eligible for suspension have met their expect ed fato, and one other, Max Burris, who yesterday morning declared himself to be not connected with tho fraternity this year, later changed his mind and decided to take his medicine with the resr. The complete list of those suspend ed Is as follows: Kenneth Allen, Max Burrla, Kenneth Rich, John George, Mar vin Headrlck, Howard Kurtz, Glenn Drager, John Schei, John Evans, Virgil Moorhead, Jim Ousch, Wayne Harris, Garleu Simpson, Daryl Myers, Alden Adolph, Lorcn Loose, Robert Bishop. Earl Vicsko and Lome Simpkins. It is expected that the questio.i of the De Molay order, affillateJ with the Masons, will coiuo up for considerable agitation tonight, the Priars hoping to make a stro:i,T point of the contention that tho'r organization is similar to the L.' Molaya, and it being frankly ,td mited by school authorities that thore me points of similurily. The principal uirrerence, u is concede, is a psychological ono, making it extremely difficult for the board to distinguish between the two V ganziations with sufficient ac curacy to make a positive ruilnjr. Even the Elks club has been men tioned, the question being rai3e I wbotuer a high school boy, if old enough and admitted to tho lodfa'2, may loin and still remain :n school under tho ruling of t'.ie scliool board last summer. Abolition Soueht. Meanwhile, reports from school authorities and trom members uT the school board Indicate th"t public sentiment, including that of the hoys' parents, is strougi for having the-club 'smokod out." Facetious comments have been passed on the "newness" of tho fraternity and the tochnicaliti.-'s on which the boys base their rto fcuse. The general consensus of opinion seems to be that, while tho iboy possibly have deceived themselves into the idea that theirs was a new organization that did not coiuo under the bin pronounced by the board, thoy have not deceived anyono else. It would have been more ingeniot'. they oay, to have adopted a new name, a new pin, and a few more new members, "out In the end the matter would have come to a held just the same. The boys apparently are under tho billet that at tho worst, th;v have everything to gain and noth ing to lose by the present experi ment. They are under tho impres sion that the most extreme penally that will ho meted out to them will be the exactions of another promise not to do It again, in which case they will be back In tho position where they stavrij this fall. SCHOOL CLERKS -ARE ADMONISHED Warning Is issued by County Superintendent Fulkerson to school district clerks that unlj&s district budgotB aro in by I ho hint week in November that tho dis tricts failing to report will be un able to collect any special school taxes for the coming year.
