Red Grange's Case A few weeks ago, "Red" Grange, captain and star player of the University of Illinois, was being heroized and idolized by the press because of his prowcss'on the gridiron. He was universally acclaimed as the super-football player of his time. Now because he has capitalized his prowess by sign ing a contract to appear as a professional he is being roySid- ly abused and scoffed at. All of which proves that there is nothing more unreasonable nor unreasoning than popularity. The fickle public takes as great a delight in toppling over its favorites of an hour as it did in pedestaling them. Red Grange was a poor student working his way through college as an iceman during vacation periods. Not a brilliant scholar, he has done what any practical, sane person should do, commercialize for a large profit, his one talent. That is all that education is for, to teach youth to make the most of themselves. His college football days being over, he chose the alternative of quickly cleaning up a comparative fortune which insures future power, to years of drudgery at small salary. The first duty of everyone is to make a living. Only the idle rich can afford to remain amateurs playing with life, re gardless of the wherewithal. Amateur athletics offer no field for the poor, so the poor have no alternative but to turn pro fessional if they remain in the game. Besides the fame of the athlete is fleeting, particularly on the gridiron. Each year brings its new heroes and the old are forgotten. So Red Grange, in turning professional at the psychological moment to i!ean up $20,000 a game, shows wisdom and good judgment. . Why Should We? The Eugene Guard asks why the Capital Journal does not Dack its charges that the police department of Portland is graft ridden with a bill of particulars. It concludes Every one of tho four Portland dully newspapers, and somc tlmoH all of them, havo been against the city administration within tho past two years, and none of them was able to bring or sustain bucu an accusation. If the Capital Journal had been published in Portland, where it would do any good, it would have printed the proof long ago, but the lethargy xf that community under the spoofic influence of the combination of churches and dives supporting Mayor Baker is such, that it would probably have had as' little effect as the bills of particulars furnished by Judge Gatens during his campaign for the mayoralty. Three of the four Porland papers have been staunch sup porters of the administration. The fourth, the News, re cently proved that the police reporters of all four newspapers, including its own, were drawing salaries from the police de partment as wcjl as the newspapers bribes to protect police at taxpayers expense. Long lists of dives, under police pro tection, have been repeatedly printed in the News also, with out any effort being made to clean them up. Portland newspapers are devoted to the pleasing principle of grabbing the coin in 100 percent fashion and are not print ing anything that may mean the loss of a subscriber or ad vertiser. Exposing municipal graft is the farthest from their thoughts. Newspapers that have never been able to locale the Ku Klux Klnn and its graft in public office, could not be expected to expose the demoralization and corruption its machinations have precipitated in the police and other muni cipal departments. About such things they maintain an awed conspiracy of silence, engaging instead in such safe and sane enterprises as missionary work to uplift the homes by prayor-meetings. would think. How felt that he did not know hr well enough to say all that was In his heart; Mary was eager to make him think well of her. to create for herself a back ground that would seem to be a gooa as nis. mindly she believed that knowing Hamilton would help 10 ao so. And so both were silent, letting a onance tor true happiness bo swept irom tnem by tneir own rears. To Stewart Howe that moment wan a ruvclntion of how much he cared for Mary. He was almost overwhelmed by her, yet all his bringing up, all the conservatism from which he could not escape be cause It had been brod Into him, nanucd down by dozens of ances tors, refused to let him give way to nm love. He felt that Mary was betnc ear- ricd away from him by force that was stronger than he was, one that he could not control. To Mary the moment was a rev elation of love also she realized how much she cared for Stewart a.s she never had before. It was that love itelf that made -her too shy to tell him the truth, which would havo cleared up everything be tween them. She pretended to fin tali eating ner mncneon, and he played on with tho food on hla plate until they had sat there long enough to go. He tried to talk as it noth. Ing had hnppencd, discussing af fairs at the office, asking her omen lions the answers to which did not Interost him in tho least. Sho knew that an Important change had taken place In their frlendflhlp-tnot the one sho had hoped for when he asked her to luncheon that day, but one that would put a greater gap between them than the one that had pre viously been there. What had happened to them. sho wondored as they loft? It seem ed unbelloveable that Hamilton's talking to her as he had could have made such a gap. She was angry for a moment, thinking that Stew art looked down on Jier because of Hamilton's familiarity. Yet that hardly seemed po.slble. After all, It wasn't her fault. Sitting at her desk that after noon, working hard to make up for' her long absence at noon, she thought of Stewart between writ ing letters and taking dictation for oinern. What bad lie done? Hamilton phoned her at half- past four. She had just laid Stew. art's letters on his desk, and he had barely nodded, instead of turning and talking with her for a moment as ho usually did. She turned to Hamilton to ease her wounded- prlno. "Dine with you this evening? "Yea I think I can," she told him, over the 'phone. "That's fine. I'll call for you at seven." "Oh no, don't." Visions of her aunt cluttered little flat rose be fore her," I'll meet you at the Dip lomat," Like girls the world over, she was making what she didn't want take the place of what her heart cried out for. Tomorrow Everything Hut Love. B CASE IS SUICIDE Chicago, Dec. 2. (A. P.) Herman Llnncmaa, 66, chairman of (the Chicago Master Barbers as sociation, has disappeared after writing letters Indicating suicidal Intentions because his name had beau connected with the bomb ring1 inquiry being pushed by state attorneys. He maintained his Innocence and said he was "being unmerci fully hounded." Searchers later found his hat on tthe Lake Michi gan shore. A few hours earlier, as the spe cial grand jury was voting true bills charging Lena Schrock Rice and eight others with bombing conspiracies, she tried to stab her self with a table knife. A jail matron frustrated the attempt. Ages Old 4 ; J JUS 7 k - The flint arrowhead held by Mrs. James B. Shackelford, found in the Gobi desert, is believed to be 10,000 yeara old, fashioned before the cave men existed. It was picked up by the Roy Chapman .Andrews expedition.

Shu did not rcvtllzo that 1 keen oyo jmw that Hamilton h:ul been drlnkinf and found tho man' greeting an insult rather (ban a courtesy. "Know him well?" he naked. She was ulad ho bad nuked hor; nh wanted him to know that llamll ton was a friend of hers. "Well qulto," she answered, her honesty making her hesitate. "lleV been very kind to me." Howe looked ntiRiler than over. This nice tittle girl, who has Boom ed no mvout and mniHsumtiif? she wua poititf to turn out to bo Ilk so many others, then! He wondered had been to her, Jtixt what he meant In her life. Heavens from tho way fthe was blushing she mlht be In love with him! She wondered why Howe's man ner changed so suddenly; why. in- utond of hcinir nmu.ilnr and cnter tninlnrr, na she had expected, he wns aloof and unresponsive. l'n less her mind flew back to that earlier thought tin lens ho flld rare for her. and was Jealous of Hnm llton. "Of course," idio said nlowly, af ter a moment "of course, ho's an old friend of the family." A He, but then, in what a good cause she was telllne it. Howe smiled. "Jut kind to you on that account ?" he ankod "He's not a bold, bad man who trios to win tho heart of the little working Sirl, then? I'd thought ner haps ho was." 'He wouldn't know what to do with rny heart If he had it," Mary told him, lauphlnff. "I yonder if you'd know what to do wltii with mine," Howe was going to May. It was unfortunate that nt that moment Hamilton paused by their table, on hla way (o the door. "H'lo, child," no mild, thickly. "Get over our party Saturday nil rlmht? Some party? wasn't 11?

Mary sat qulto still when be bad gone, lior hands clasped tight In her lap. Sho haled Hamilton for that outburst. Stewart Howe's face wan while, his mouth drawn Into a Atraight, hard line. What could ho bo thinking of her? He was fighting his own dls appointment, the disillusionment that swept over hint liko high tide. And ho had been on tho vorga of asking her to bo his wifo this girl who could be tho companion of such n man. Yet as he looked nt her face; that bimv tho misery in hor face; that didn't bear out what ho was thinking of her, certainly! Ho wanted to ask her why she went around with such a man: whether she didn't realise that she cheapened herself, sacrificed all that was loveliest in her, by doing so. Ho wanted to beg hor not to to out any more with Hamilton. to ask her If sho wouldn't promise to marry him, to wait until he had proved that ho was not merelv the son of n rich man, but that he louid slatul on bis own feet. He had told his father that he was going to make good within n year, had sworn that ho would do so. as for .Mary, she whs loncini? to tell him the truth, lo tell him how hideous It was Just to go to work and come home, day after day: never to have any fun.
