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?

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.

CHAPTER 2t
Cay wa so taken by aurpriso at
Webb's declaration that she sat in
stunned silence for a moment-
staring out upon the traffic that
whizzed along Columbus Ave. Be
wildered and a little dismayed. 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."

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.
