Bright Prospects For 1926
According to the administration's political prophets, the
New Year will continue the prosperity of 1925 and even ex
ceed it, unless reckless optimism outweighs ordinary cau
tion. And this in spite of the exactions of the British rubber
trust in sending up the price of golf balls.
Secretary Hoover, mouthpiece of big business as well as
commercial pathfinder of. the administration finds the most
encouraging factor in the outlook to be "our increased pro
ductivity, due to freedom and continuing forces such as the
cumulation of education, the advancement of science, skill
and elimination of waste.". Other favorable indications he
listed were that stocks of commodities are moderate; there
is employment for practically everyone; real wages are at a
high level ; savings are the largest in history and capital is
therefore abundant, and the "whole machinery of produc
tion is operating at a high degree of efficiency than ever
before." Agriculture has improved its condition of two years
ago, but still leaves farmers with much accumulated debt and
lacking stability because of unsolved market problems.
Thus the people are taught to believe that economic prob
lems can be solved politically, that prosperity depends upon
the politicians in power at the pie counter, and that as long
as the Grand Old Party occupies the seats of the mighty,
and spreads its mantle of special privilege and preferential
paternalism over the favored few
"God'a in his Heaven,
All's right Willi the world."
A Diplomatic Bungle
Whether ill health is the cause of General Pershing's
early return from South America where he has been officiat
ing as head of the Tacna-Arica Plebiscitary commission, as
is officially announced, or whether his return is due to the
failure of the commission, makes little difference. The plain
facts of the case are that President Coolidge's ruling, as ar
bitrator, to decide the fate of the disputed territory by
plebiscite is unsatisfactory to both Peru and Chili and can
not be regarded as other than a diplomatic bungle.
Riotous demonstrations against the American embassy
have occurred in Peru while Chili has registered a protest
with the League of Nations. Border clashes and rioting
have followed in Arica. Peruvian delegates withdrew from
the commission in September and Chilian delegates have
since absented themseles.
This bitter quarrel between Chile and Peru has been in
existence since 1883 and occasionally war has been threaten
ed. I'eru regards the lost territory as France regarded Alsace
Lorraine. In it Chili has ruthlessly suppressed Peruvian
schools, churches and press. Chili on the other hand re
gards the retention of the region as essential to national

come to dinner, arriving just as
she was going; home at the end of
her day's work. They had been
beautifully dressed; they had run
up the front steps laughing, and
Mrs. Crandall had greeted them
with open arms. Their car had
driven away just aa Mary reached
the sidewalk and started on her
long, hot walk home.
It was hard not to envy them.
Now, with her new friendship with
Will before her, she almost hated
thoso other girls, who had so much
that she lacked, that she never
would have!
She thought back over her life,
over the way she had lived In one
grubby apartment after another
with her aunt and uncle and cousin
and gone to school, and left high
school before she finished In order
to go to work and learn to support
herself.
And all that time those other
rflrls had been onjoying a delight

spending the long, Hot summers

while she was slaving away in the
or rice.
She looked up quickly, trying to
shake herself out of her resent
ment. Her eyes met Will Crandall'o
and the expression startled her.
There was devotion there. If ever
she had seon It. There was real
love. He smiled down at her, half
reached out ane hand and then
quickly wlthdrow it, and abruptly
turned and loft the room.
Mary settled down to her work
happily then. Will did care for nor,
more than ho cared for any other
girl. She know that that was true.
Nobody else could have what she
had!
She got home that afternoon to
find that Pat Hamilton had 'phon
ed, and loft word for her to call
him at tlio Diplomat. She did so
before she took hor hat off, de
termined that she would go thru
with this disagreeable duty.
'Hello, Mary; how's the girl?"
he asked. Then, before she could
reply, 'Come along up here, child;
I want you to have dinner with
me."
"Well, I all right," she answer
ed. After all, he'd been awfully
kind to her.
She met him and was crossing
the lobby with him when In the
distance she saw Will, with the
Hewitt girls and his mother. Ham
ilton saw them too.
"Now, child," he said to her, "My
advice to you Is to put yourself
In the class with those girls. That's
the only way you'll evor get along.

KELLY TO MEET
BAKES HERE Oil
Ed. Kelly, who has been sched
uled to meet I'hil Hayes of Salem
In the ten-round main event at the
armory next Tuesday evening Is
.said to be one of the toughest boys
the Salem lad has ever been slated
to meet. Kelly has met some of the
best boys In this vicinity and prom
ises to give Bayes a hard fight.
Hayes has been fighting quite a
bit lately and Is in the best of
shape for the fight.
Kelly has met Georgle Dixon and
several other good boys and Plant
claims that he Is capable of giv
ing the Salem boy a hard run to
get the best of the fight. He Is not
certain who he will match for the
seml-wlndup but promises to have
a hummer of a fight. At present ho
has Tommy Murphy, who Is plan
ning on moving to alem for one
of the seml-windup fighters but
has not secured his opponent. Mur
phy fought In Salem about three
years ago and made a good show
ing whilo here.
As Plant now plans he will try
to .schedule Lewis and McCormlck
for the main ovent of a card to be
staged on January 12th or 15th, he
announced, although nothing Is cer
tain as yet. McCormick went away
for the Christmas holidays and
would not be In the host of shape
before then.
"Shadow Gretz" Salem fighter,
who fought on the last card broke
his hand In the first punch of the
first round and fought the rest of
the fight with one hand, claims
Greta's manager. The Salem boy
put up a game fight and was op
posed to fighting a negro several
weeks before the card was arrang
ed. "This Is no apology but a state
ment of the facta to show the Ba
lem fans that Gretx Is no quitter'
said his manager.
FEATURE OF NEXT
VAUDEVILLE BILL
The audience peeing the next as
sociation vaudeville show at the
Heilig theatre tomorrow will en
joy a diversified and entertaining
program, but most appreciation of
music and dance will be acciordod
Loath Warwick and Frisco Harm
onists. This chic, winsome miss
frolics with nimbleness of fcot in
tempo to tlio entrancing melody
of a Jazz band. The regular weekly
concert number by the Helllg thea
tre concert orchestra and short sub
jects will also feature the bill..
The plot of the act "White, Black
and Useless" Is a huge conspiracy
being forced upon a mule, but the
deception results in being disrupt
ed by the shrewd Instinct of a wise
mule.
Stanley Mack and Fay Tempest
enact a scene of dramatic and
comic situations depicted from the
pen of Kugone Conrad and titled
"Once but not Twice.'
Winston Holland Is a master of
whistling. His musical tones and
impersonations of birds of the for
est are hardly short of sensational.
Stanton and Dolores are desig
nated at "Just Two Girls trying to

as a boy and a girl would, one of
the girls dresses as a boy, in which
character, she sings and dances
with masculine cleverness.
I
APPEAL
Earl E. Patterson, former teller
and assistant cashier of the Lum
bermen's Trust company, Port
land, must servo the sentence ot
not to exceed two years in I hi
st ate prison imposed by JiuUc
llowitt of the Multnomah county
circuit court when Patterson wa
found guilty on a charge of em
bezzling $34,018.66 of the trust
company's funds.
In overriding i'Ug excuse ottered
by Patterson for hla embezzlement
Justice Burnett, who wrote the
opinion, points out that "the situ
ation hud Us origin in the defend
ant's own voluntary shortcoming."
"He, himself," the opinion
reads, "was the controlling and In
dispensable factor in the muttor.
He, himself, begun the digression
from the path of rectitude. With
out his act tho situution which he
claims was compulsory would not
have occurred. A custodian ot an
other's money might be justified
as ugainst criminal prosecution in
surrendering the money to a rob
ber who was about to kill him un
less he yielded but no mere inti
mation or threat ot future prose
cution for larceny is admissible to
show that degree of coercion
which will excuse the commission
of a crime. The theory ot the de
fendant is tantamount to saying
that If a man steals enough to
make him afraid ot prosecution he
should be excused. If the question
were between Osier and the de
fendant In a civil case on an lesue
of whether or not the money he
paid to the former was a gift or n
loan It might he competent to In
troduce tho throats of prosecution
to rebut the contention of Osier
that the money was a gift but lluit
is not the rule in criminal prosecutions."
