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.

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!.

Now York. 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.

man wanted for assault on Henry

months ngo, John Weinberg of

had secured ad in lesion to a Port
land hospital. It was believed the

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.
