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.

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

that knowing Hamilton would help

And so both were silent, letting a
onance tor true happiness bo swept

To Stewart Howe that moment

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.

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

her long absence at noon, she
thought of Stewart between writ
ing letters and taking dictation for

over the 'phone.
"That's fine. I'll call for you

"Oh no, don't." Visions of her

When Wary looked nc'roBs the
Rrilt-ronm of tho Diplomat and
caught Ihimllton's eye he half roae
and bowed, ostentatiously. It cm

Jlowo nnnln, sho was ntirprised to
floe that his fuco had flushed angri
ly. Bhe wondered If ho was Joaloun
of Hamilton.
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? Cer
tainly mlnsed you yesterday. Say,
honey, I've got lo Jump out uf town
tomorrow; hco me tonlKht, won't
you? o. K.Y Sorry wo couldn't
make It for lunch today guess you
didn't care, though, did you. with
a substitute liko this uico young
toller. Well, ho long I'll call fo
you later."
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. She wanted
to make him realise thnt she hsri

cause ahe no longed to have a good
time.
