'Without or with of few to friend or foes I sketch your world exactly as it ones." BYRON. Two Parties Needed Since Governor Smith sneaking for Democratic unity urged the necessity of a continuing opposition party, Speak er Longworth has come out with an endorsement declaring the two party system essential to the American form of government and far better than the multi-party blocs of European parliaments. As a Republican he wants a united opposition. i Up to the present election there has only been one party in the South. Now, it is widely proclaimed "the old bondage has been broken and the South politically born anew," sig nifying the approaching dissolution of the southern bloc. It is declared a national blessing that the southern states can no longer be herded at the polls like cattle and counted for the Democratic ticket, regardless of real desires. If this is true for the south, it ought to be true for the west, where the old bondage to the Republican party still exists and the Democratic party cuts no greater figure than the Republican party in the south. The two-party system is as essential in Oregon as in the rest of the nation, but we have only the one party and the voters are herded to the polls without question of their deliverance. Oregon broke out of the Republican fold six years ago to elect a Democrat governor, but it was on the same issue that Virginia and other southern states broke out of the Democratic corral to elect a Republican president this year. . The Kluxers were in power and bigotry in flower. It is back in the Republican fold more securely than ever and in all probability the southern states will return to Democratic al legiance four years hence. j However, Oregon will never secure the attention of either national party until our electorate shows its indepen dence, breaks away from the G. 0. P. and becomes doubtful in its allegiance and therefore an object of solicitation on the part of both parties. When this happens, the state will come into its own politically. Meanwhile, we can expect the" neglect that falls to the lot of those safe and sane in political bondage. i Germany's Example '' While President Coolidge is demanding a great navy in the name of pence and President-elect Hoover is touring latin-America on our biggest battleship as an envoy of peace, "Germany is furnishing a fine example of the real peace spirit in the national opposition Jieing voiceu 10 uuwu- iig a single warship, to be known as "Cruiser A." 1 Germany has no navv. vet plans underway to build even ne vessel, threaten to upset the government. In the Reich stag election .in May because of opposition to the proposed 'JCruiser A" the Socialists made heavy gains. However the party's representatives ignored their pledges and voted a first installment on the appropriation for the warship, which, Resulted in stormy times within the party and splits and new coalitions in the Reichstag. Now "Cruiser A" is the center of .another parliamentary battle which threatens the life of the ministry. J AH this, coming from a country that so recently hugged She delusion that a great navy meant a great empire, shows that even a single warship represents a state of mind that the German people do not want to return to, and that Ger many, having learned the lesson of the futility of preparcd nesa, has become the most pneifistic of countries. While other nations are talking of reducing naval pro grams but actually enlarging them, Germans would elimi nate a navy entirely by scrapping their only proposed cruis er. If her example were followed by the other great powers, the Briand-Kellogg pact to outlaw wnr might amount to something besides a political gesture. "John, the Good" While Austria is celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Republic, the tiny state of Liechtenstein is celebrating the seventieth year of the rule of Prince John of Liechten stein. The aged ruler has two claims to fame, one that his rule has been so just that he is called "John the Good" and the other that in point of years his reign has been the long est of any other monarch, save Louis XIV of France. Here evidently is the ideal prince flourishing in the midst of de mocracies. . '. Leichtenstein is a small independent principality lying between Austria and Switzerland with an area of only 65 square miles. H is extremely mountainous, traversed from north to south by the Rhoetian Alps. The climate is mild and the inhabitants engaged chiefly in agriculture and stock raising. The capital city is Vadaz (population 1200). It is an hereditary monarchy with an elective diet of 15 members. Its posts and telegraph are administed by Switzerland. Its population is 11,000. Liechtenstein is happy, contented country. The in habitants pay no taxes and are not liable to military duty. Its standing army numbers only 91 and it has no national debt. Its safety lies in its unimportance, for ',1 has been overlooked by ambitious war lords and for 200 years has (rone its way in peace and independence, e.tenping wars and eschewing revolutions, content to lot well enough alone. I Prince John is said to know personally every one of his subjects and "lws spent a, large part of his personal fortune in their welfare-. -He .has beoi an ideal ruler and kept his dountry free and tranquil in the midst of troubli-i times. It is an unique record." And who can say that this tiny nation is not far better off than its ambitious neighbor Austria', seeking the glory of empire to find only disaster? I Best Editorial of the Day NOT ON PRINCIPLES , 1 (Fran iha BaJtaaon Ban) ' Al Smith In his radio apetch hut night declared: ' It The principle for which the Dem ocratic party stand, art as rrt defeat aa they would hav been in ictory. and It la our duty to carry on anJ vindicate the principle for wnicn we romni. Aa a logical proapositkm thla la tlon. People dont follow principles In politics, but men. Al waa not beaten by a aet of principle! but by Herbert Hoover; and the fifteen mllllona who went down to defeat with Al were fallowing Al. . Prom the very belnnlns of our poUUcal history thla has been true. Thomaa Jefferson, who formulated tho Brinetptaa of Al's own party, waa "followed loyally even when he aban doned nia own principle, nraeea. at hlj exprexa command. The Louis iana Purchaae waa ao directly In contravention of what he had waya taught that ha asked for a specific act of indemnity; but the country airily dlamlawd the request, because It had more faith in Jeffer aon than -in any aet of principle. Abraham Lincoln turned com pletely around after he assumed of fice, but the people turned with him So did Woodrow Wilson. Indeed, there la not a single great leader in all our history whose record Is per- lectiy consistent, cut their lncon slstency has never troubled their followers. Al Smith's speech waa good political doctrine, and better aa an exnlblUon of good sportsmanship; but the need of the- democratic party as a party la not ao much a lormai body 01 doctrine as a leader who can make the people follow him.

This was aomething she hadn t antici pated. It wa a though she had been crying for the moon and now that she had unexpectedly got it. she didn't know what to do with It All the pent-up resentment against me man an men, which aba bad been harboring all day wa melting away, leaving her feeling a trifle foolish. She hardly knew how to cope with the situation. At last she spoke: "What do you want me to do. Webb?" she asked. "If I were to tell you that I do love you, what then?1 He looked nuzzled. "What then? Why" he hesitat ed. "Wait." said Gay. "Let's get away from here. We're being watched. People are getting curious about us. Start the car and we'll talk as we ride." He started the car and (teered straight ahead toward the drive again. It seemed tho obvious place to go. Gay sighed. Always Riverside drive. She was beginning to loathe the sight of that famous boulevard. She remembered the thrill It gave her the first time she rode along the Hudson atop a lumbering bus. She viewed with Interest the fleet of battleships lying in formation In we river; tne fausades across the way in New Jersey; the tall apart ment buildings that loomed up on her right; the nursemaids and romping children on the stone benches near Grant's tomb. She saw women on horseback cantering along the bridle path, And women, sable clad, leading little fuazy dog on nickel-trimmed leashes. She remem bered the first night she had driven along here with Webb. The night he had told her about being a bull in a china shop. How her heart had gone out to him that night! But, now,, it all scmed changed, somehow. . . Tarnished . . . And It seemed as though she had lost something of the glamour of youth today. Per haps it was because of young Barry. He had said so many things to her which she was sorry about. A girl ought to hear these things but once In her life, she reflected. Once. From the man she loves and from the man who loves her. How wearisome it was. this business of being a woman. You must always be on your guard. Must always wear the armor of watchfulness. "If I thought you really- loved me, Gay, I'd never stop this car until you and I were In. Canada. We'd take a boat from there and keep on going until the boat couldn't go any farther and then we'd take another boat." Webb turned a searching look upon her. Gay wa calm enough. Once, she might have been thrilled or afraid. "That would be foolish," she s coolly. "How do you know?" "Because, it Isn't plausible." Her voice was steady and her word wee enunciated with singular clearness. "How do you know this," he said quickly. "I know you, Jimmie. You re a man and you've always had position and that sort of thing. It's all very well In tt story book. But In real life It doesn't work out. Fancy the two of us some night in a restaur ant in Paris. Whispers behind our backs. I'd be photographed and my pictsxe would be shown in the yel low papers. Of course, when It all finally ended, I'd be famous or no. torlous, it doesn't matter. I could go on the stage then, wearing my famous jewels that you'd be expect ed to have given me and so on. Oh, yes, my career would be certain then." She turned to him with a crooked little smile. "Nice picture, isn't it? Lovely. Ghastly!" He looked at her anew. There was consternation in his blue eyes. Why, you're not the same girl at all. I" "Oay, he cried. "You're hard. I didn't know you were untU now. She laughed ruefully. "No, Jimmie, Tm not. But I'm much wiser and It' about time." She paused and she sighed. "Well, tell me. Am I right?" He sighed too. "I'm afraid you are. Gay," he ad mitted aadly. "But, I'd never stop loving you. "Maybe you wouldn't." she con ceded. "But you'd stop liking your self. You'd begin to hate you." Silence. He wa frowning and he bit hi lip, and his fingers were clenched tightly upon the steering wheel. Gay," he said finally. "If I get a divorce, will you marry me?" She started. Marriage? But, how? How could he divorce his wife? She asked him. Til manage somehow," he said doggedly. Jimmie I don t know," she re plied wearily. "I'll have to think It over." 1 to oe continuea) HOMECOMING HELD Monmouth. Nov. 21 The Mon mouth normal lodge of the I. O. O.

What Doctors Think of the Laxative Habit In all history, no Indian was ever Known to nave constipation, hot need YOU. He chewed the bark of a tree called cascara. Today, we have the candy Cascaret. CificariEing the bowels never forms a laxative hobit. If already formed, an occasional Cascaret will usually break the habit. For cascara strengthens the muscular walls of the bowels, and their need of any acid at all grows constantly less. What other cathartic has this char acteristic? The writer knows of none. An evacuation brought gently about by cascara will, nine times in ten; be followed by full function ing of the bowels on the morrow and for days after. For there is no REACTION as with sickening salts, or any of the man-made purgatives that go through one's system like a bullet. Physicians tell us cascara is the ideal laxative and the tongue tells us candy Cascarets are its ideal form. At least a million people know this: what a pity there are any who don't! Especially parents; because children love to take a Cas caret. After which, for days-on-end. the bowels will be seen to work of their own accord. The enly habit from cascara It that of regularity! Cascarets tone and train the bowels. But at the first sign of returning sluggishness another Cascaret is as effective as the first. There isn't a druggist who hasn't Cascarets, so WHY experiment witli laxatives? adv. DR. FLOYD L. UTTER Dentist TELEPHONE 1313 Suite 906 Firs! Nat'l. Bank Bldg.
