"Without or with offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes." btron. An Old Problem Portland's council of churches is "girding to attract youth." It is to launch a campaign for "clean fun" to bid against jazz. It has been found that six of 82 dance halls in the metropolis average a weekly attendance of 9150, that the juvenile court has 2200 cases annually and that juvenile crime is on the increase along with crime of all kinds. In the days of old, before the new dispensation of Vol- eteadism that was to save humanity, the demon rum was blamed for all the crime in the calendar, also for the sins of parents in neglecting offspring. There can be no such ex ;use nowadoys, yet the council places the blame upon the home and parental neglect. The remedy is said to be "god liness enthroned in the hearts of the parents," which reduces the ministerial task to the simple one of enthroning it, to atone for its neglect in having failed in the past Youth will have its fling, especially in these days of the revolt of youth against conventionalism. It is already too late to try to restore the popularity of such "clean fun" as "Ring Around the Roses" and "Drop the Handkerchief" and even the once favorite "Post Office" cannot compete in this day and generation with jazz. The remedy it would seem would be to reform and regulate the dance instead of asking Its abolition. Whether the fault lies with the churches or with the homes, most children of today seem to be cheerful little pagans. Yet they are not necessarily hell-bent. Indeed, it has been the usual thing in every age to picture the rising generation as doomed to damnation. The Puritans had not been long in New England, when dispite their godliness, traits similar to those now complained of were discovered in the youth of the 17th century. That celebrated divine, Cotton Mather paid the following tribute to the boys and gills of his day : "Children nnd servants are not kept In duo subjection. This is a sin which brings groat judgment. now dreadfully havo the young people of Boston perished under the judgments of God! Ah, my young folks, there arc first fruits paid unto the Lord Jesus Christ among you. From hence it come9 to pass, that the con suming wrath of God Is every day upon you. Now England has been like Q tottering house, the very foundnllon of it lias been shaking; but tho houso thus oversetting by the whirlwinds of tho wrath of God, hath been like Job's house: It falls upon the young men and they lire dead And there are other halnous breeches, such as Immodest npparel, Prov. 7.10, laying out of hair, borders, naked necks, and arms, or which is more abominable naked breasts, and mixed dancings, light behavior nnd expressions, sinful company-keeping with light and vnln persons, unlawful gaming, an abundaco of Id'.oness, which brought ruinnling Judgment upon Sodam nnd much more upon Jerusalem, ond doth sorely threaten New Rnglnnd, uiv less effectual remedies be thoroughly and tlmously applied." Sounds just like Billy Sunday and yet it is 250 years since it was written. Which shows that the world doesn't progress very rapidly after all. France in Syria If Americans had scant sympathy for France in Morocco, there is even leas for France in Syria. In nearby Morocco France is doing a colonizing, civilizing nnd development work that cannot help advance a country that has stood still for over one thousand years, which may extenuate her aggres sive imperialism, but there is no such excuse for her actions in far-away Syria where she has played the same role against a weak people that Germany sought to play in France. France repudiated her pledge by sending a French army to Damascus within four months of the formation of tho first Syrian government and destroyed it, as the national con gress had affirmed independence and denounced French ag gressions. A poll taken by the Crane-King Commission for the Peace Conference had shown an almost unanimous desire for self-government with a special protest registered by 60 per cent of the population against a French mandate. In spite of this the French went into Syria and have been fighting ever since to remain there. Their first governor- general, Gourand had to fight his way into the capital, Damascus in 1920 and fined the city 10,000,000 francs. Since then, developments have been as follows: A nntlvo uprising followed In March. 1921. Natives appealed to tile League of Nations in August, 1921. There was rioting in Damas cus in April, 1922, with nmrtlal law proclaimed. Tho next month there was another appeal to the League. War broke out ngnin in August. 1922. with another nppeal to the League of Nntions In November. France was obliged (o send heavy reinforcements In April 1923. A boycott of French elections by Syrians in tho following September; nnother oulhrcak of war In April 1921: riots In Damas cus in April 1925; nnother war begun In August 1925. with French planes bombing villages; mania law for fifteen years proclaimed by the French last month, followed by a "parade of corpses'' through Damascus, dead Arabs strapped to camels, followed by a new upris ing, a cordon drawn around the rebellious city, guns turned loose nnd Damascus pnrtlally destroyed, which lias caused an investigation of Vrench barbarity by the League of Nations. For six years the Syrians have battled heroically for in dependence and the removal of the French yoke, with re prisal measures growing continually more oppressive. French casualties total over 7000, with Arab losses far heavier. And the worst of these broken pledges is that France cannot materially gain thereby, but has succeeded in arousing the Mohammedan world against the Christian. The financial crisis the collapsing franc faces seem:, just retri bution for French imperialism. SECOND WIVEC By VIOLET DARE A HASH PUO.MISK Mnrle found Mrs. LlnuVay stretch ed out on a chulse lounge, with a coverlet of rose colored silk em broidered wth strnnds ot ostrich feathers In deeper rose tossed over her. Her negligee was of lnce and delicate ribbons. Mario rontlird even in tho dim light that filtered through the rose tinted curtains, that her employer was deftly made up; Mrs. Llniiway'a eyelids were dellntely darkened, her face powd eictl but not roused, and her 11(16, only faintly tinted. A white cloth had been lain across her forehead her eyes looked shrewdly out from beneath It as Marie came Into the room and stood waiting to be ask ed to neat herself, a request that was most graciously given. "You know Dr. llnnd.ill quite well, don't you?'' Mrs. Lindsay be gan. "I'm raking only because 1 feel so wretched this motnng I'm really on the verge of a nerv ous breakdown, and having Made leine so 111 has made me much worse. And 1 thought ncrhapji I'd aeo him Instead of culling In our family physician. But I'd like to know something about hm first. lld Caroline Phillips huve him as her physician '!" Marie smiled, at Mrs. llndsay'n presumption In calling by her II rat name a woman whom she barely knew, and also at the scheme which was being so bitdly put Into practice. "I don't know," she answered. guile truthfully; Carolne and Hob were old f dentin, but she did not know that Caroline ever consult ed him professionally. 'You've known him for some time, haven't you?" Mrs. Unduay went on. "Ho treated you laat nljfht na if you were an old friend." "No, I haven't known him very long," Marie replied. 'Hut he took you home last night, when you left here?" "Yes, he did," Marie answered, wonderng what Mrs. Lindsay would any It she knew that "home" meant Bob's own home. "Well that's quite unusual, of course, having a man like him take such an interest In a woman In your position. To be frank with you, Miss Lane. I'd like to know juat how well you do know him. I've been considerng putting Made leine completely In your charge, aendlng you abroad with her, as soon as she Is well, and before that, sending you to our country place with her until she recovers. But I can't do this if you're well, the kind of girl who goes about with men quite out of her class," Marie flushed angrily. She longed to put Mrs. Lindsay in her place just once; to tell her that she herself was far superior socially even though she was but a gover ness, to her employer. But that would not be playing the game. "I've chosen to become a work ing girl; I can't give up just be cause something unpleasant has occured," eho told herself, "I met Dr. Randall through Mrs. Phillips," she said ator a moment, knowing that Mrs. Lindsay would think that she had .been a servant In the Phillips home. I'm not ac customed to going about with men who are above me socially." That waa true enough! She'd always been the social equal of anyone! "Dr. Randall is very kind hearted; he realized that I was exhausted from having sat with Madeleine so long, and in his kindness per haps gave you a wrong Impres sion." Mrs. Lndsny nodded thought fully. "Very well; that's quite enough." she said. Then as a man's voice was heard In the hall, she hastily straightened the white cloth that lay so becomingly across her fore head and sighed. "I think that's the doctor now; T asked that he come to see me before he went to M.idcliene; I am suffering dread fully this morning. Just open the door for him, nnd then you may go back to her." Marie wondered how she could be so selfsh. It seemed incredible that any mother could ignore a child that was dangerously ill, for the sake of posing before a man whom she wanted to enptivate. And how could Mrs. Lindsay bo so blind as to think that a man of Bob's type could.be won In that way. She opened the door for him; the smiles they exchanged would have told Mrs. Lindsay much that would have Interested her. Then Marie went on demurely to the sick room, where It was gratifying to her to learn that Bob had Ig nored Mrs. Lindsay's instructions nnd gone to see Madeleine as soon as he entered the house. Hcrberst Lindsay was there, trying to enter tain his littlo girl until Mario re turned. He sent the nurse from the room and .then drew a chair near the one in which Marie had seated her. self, beside tho bed. I "Miss Lano," ho began, hesitant ly, "I want to ask a favor, a big one, of you. 1 realize that things are sometmes made unpleasant for you here, and I know that plans which have been made recently, for sending you and Madeleine out of town for a while, and then to Europe, may mean that you will want to find another position. But may I ask that you will stay with u.i, if you can possibly ar range it? I'll be glad to raise your salary, and to do everything in my power to make things pleas ant for you. I feel that Madeleine needs you so, that without you " Ho paused, and Marie realized that though his pride would not let him say so, he wanted her to know that he realized his wife's shortcomings as Madeleine's moth er, and that ho wanted Marie to take her place with the lttle girl. "I'll stay as long as you want me to, Mr. Lindsay," she told him quietly. Tomorrow Mnrlo Makes An V.nvmy. Grand Jury To Hold Watson For Aurora Bank Holdup Tho Marlon County grand Jury, reporting Sunday afternoon, failed to Indict Clyde "Whitey" Watson who was under Investigation on a charge of assault and robbery while armed with a dangerous weapon, it being alleged that he was one of the men who robbed the bank of Aurora about three years ago. Failure of witnesses in the preliminary hearing several weeks ago to indentify Watson Is said to have had considerable in fluence with the grand Jury. The jury returned an Indictment against Walter Bingham, one of the men alleged to have atacked Henry Stauffer, a Donald farmer, several months ago, presumably with Intent to rob him. The grand jury, which has not yet completed its work, did not report on Wem berg, Bingham's companion. Ono of the assailants was shot by Stauf fer, and shortly afterwards Bing ham went to a hospital in Portland for treatment for a gunshot wound, resulting in his arrest. Three other indictments were returned by the grand jury. They were: J, Frank Jensen, nccused of stealing nn nutomubile belonging to Jesse Flkau. Hull was fixed by Judge Kelly at $500. James Hagen, larceny In a dwell ing, accused of taking jewelry from tho home of George Zeek, Bail was fixed at $1000. Lawrence M. Betts, obtaining goods by falso pretenses, a c used of passing a bad check in the Johnson clothing store here In return for a suit of clothes. Bail wao fixed at $1000. Not true bills were returned In favor of Arthur Wheeler, accused of assault with a dangerous wea pon. Earl Myers, accused of commit ting an act tending to contribute to the delinquency of a minor. The grand Jury will report on further cases this week. If It wasn't tor tho fact that a foot and his money are soon part ed, there wouldn't he so many, financiers. OPEN FORUM Contributions to Tbti Column must 03 plainly wrltteo on one side or paper only limited to 300 words Id length and signed with the name of the writer. Articles no, meeting these speclfl catlooB will be rejected. To The Editor After putting on my spy glasses and taking the sec ond look at a certain letter In the Open Forum of Saturday's paper, I find that the writer Is trying to take a shot at me, even verging on the vulgar In his attempt to do so, and misrepresenting his accusa tions and remarks till only now and then a word hits home. Evi dently he Is like that same old timer, thinks he will be henrd for his much speaking. At first, I thought I would Just Ignoro it, but before going to bed, I had made up my mind that he wouldn't "get away it" so easy as that. From Math 24:25 to 25:48 there Is noth ing. In a few words or tnken as a whole, to dissuade me from the point at Issue. I've a simple mind (like a child) and when God says "Thou shalt not kill," I believe Ho means It for me and not Just tho cant believe it to mean anything like this. "Mrs. Winger, you shall not kill, but if she does, Yoder, all you've gotta do is kill hor and we'll take her out and bury hor nnd have done with her and her an arcl y. I wanted to laugh! Anarchy! So thats tho kind of a bird you nro, anyone that differs from you or your pet law is an anarchist. Rich! Same things been said before about people. that opposed abominations that slavery for instance and speak ing of laws hold up your hands now In horror its eoming anar chy! I think there are some of the most unreasonable, one-sided and biggest fool laws here of any place I ever heard of. But I'm not lied here, and I don't have to stay (its a wonder you didn't tell me that, but as I all ready know you dont need to now) and so long as I do slny t aim to nbldo by those laws, even tho It goes against tho grain uomo-tlmea, all except one. You can slack enough laws, ono on top of tho other to reach to the moon, and you'll never make me hold up my hand and swoar away a man's life. If that's anarchy, make tho most of t. I've no respect' whatever for anyone who attends or believes In n lynching party whether It hap pens In K'ans or elsewhere. As for the wlelder of the hatchet, there was a mighty fine lady, I feel just like emulating her example some times. Speaking of people I want to tell you of a conversation I had once with a citizen of Oregon. Ono that has been a citizen n good many more years than I have, and this was his verdict: "Tako people that have come hero from other states, and as a rule they are pretty nice sort of people, but you take native Oregonlan and nine out of ten of them haven't a bit of principle," Now, I'm not that narrow and I believe there are good people everywhere, and I also believe that the very ones that up hold this law are the ones yon want to look out for they wont do to tie to. Search Holy Scriptures from Cien. 1:1 to Rev 22:21 nnd you'll not find. Instead of what it says. any tli Ing to make you think It means: "I wns just a kiddin ya about when I said "Thou shalt not kill." Ot course I meant It all right for some of ya. but the rest of you can group yourselves to gether and kill a nan now and then if you dont want l.lm arouudt" Eliza Winger. Oct. 5, 1025.
