Few fortunes had as sordid and unpicturesque origins, or is unromantic development as that of the Mellons. It was founded on usury and expanded by all the tricks of promotion and inflation and devices of the late "new economic era," in cluding corrupt politics and merciless exploitation of both labor and the investing public. The father, Thomas Mellon, was a farmer's son who became a lawyer, money lender and banker using most op pressive means. He was miserly, astute and hard. His sons inherited his characteristics and adapted them to large scale industry and its financial needs in the heart of the coal and steel region of America. The bank became a trust company for financing and promoting all sorts of enterprises along the modern system of financial centralization and control. There was little originality or daring in Andrew Mellon, he did not have the Rockefeller ability of organizing and ex ploiting an industry, nor the Carnegie ability to develop in dustrial enterprise, nor the Morgan ability to perfect finan cial control of industry. Others like Frick or Guffy furnished the boldness and Mellon the capital, for such operations as gyping the steel trust and acquiring Gulf Oil, while the monopoly of aluminum was obtained without realization of its potentialities, perfected by patent control and political protection. The story of Mellons' Millions emphasizes the injustice of a social and economic system that creates the billionaire and pauperizes the millions. Had a larger share of the money wrested from investors and from labor, for the enrichment of the few been left with the many, we would not have the existing conditions. The many would have retained their purchasing power and the greedy few not be cursed with un . usuable wealth. The sins of the coal and steel industries are many, they have done more to promote human misery possibly than all others. They have enslaved their employes, populated their districts with the scum of Europe, and shot them down like cattle when they rebelled at exploitation. And these soulless tactics had the full approval of the Mellons. Disillusioned The disillusionment that overtakes the reformer was succinctly expressed the other day by Senator Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma, long a crusader in behalf of the progres sive issues championed by Bryan, Wilson and LaFollette. After a life time of observation, he questions whether the world moves any faster under the liberals than under the conservatives. He said: Years ngo, when I was coming along in life, I thought we were going to solve all the problems of the world. First, we wanted the initiative and referendum. It was obvious that with the powers of the initiative the people would do whatever needed to be done to make ours a perfect society. With the referendum, the people would hold in check whatever should not be done. Of course we also had to have the direct election of United States senators. Wc got that, and lo, It hath made cowards of us all. To cement and consolidato our gains, wc had to have woman suffrage. We knew the good women would vote only for honorable and able public servants, wise and human public policies. And to cap nil our reforms we needed prohibition. Wo were going to substitute the moral code for the penal code. Wc knew that when we accomplished these things we could sit off on the sidelines and watch all our problems solve themselves. , Thp present form of democracy does not work as satis factorily as the representative form outlined by the framers of the constitution. The mass mind cannot be compared to the selected mind and in broadening the stream of culture we shallow it. We have placed a premium on demagogy and select our officials on prejudice, passion and ignorance. Intelligence and training are not considered. We have had three forms of democracy in America and the worst is in the saddle, thanks to the reformers. So planned society.

Huge Throng Turns Out For Practice Detroit, Sept. 23 W) Conch Chas. E. "Qus" Dorals, who had an idea that maybe some of the football fans would like to drop In at the Uni versity of Detroit stidtum and brush up on the game before the season opened, found that he was alto gether too conservative. Sixteen thousand persons turned out last night for the first "public football clinic'' ever held, so far as is known here. They sat through three hours of demonstrations by the Titan squad, In slow motion, of what goes on too quickly to be caught by the unpracticed eye In a football game. Salem Heights The fifth and sixth grade pupils gave a party Wednesday honoring their teacher. Agnea Booth, on her birthday an niversary. The Fireside Pulpit So fight I, not as one that beateth the air. 1 Corinthians 9 :26 Paul here compares the Chris tian to one participating In the Isthmian games celebrated near the city of Corinth to which he wrote this letter. And In this particular passage he compares him to a boxer delivering sturdy blows where they will prove effective. For the Chris tian life is not a placid voyage on a summer sea, but it is, as Bunyan pictured it, a Journey through a dangerous and often hostile land, wh:re the pilgrim must fight his way. First, he must fight himself, his propensities, his old habits. In the (Coprrltbu US3. by F-u Mnuont Washington, Sept. 23 The Infla tion psychology of our going off the goia standard nas at last played out. xne big tninkers for the admin istration noted it within the last few days. Fluctuations of the dollar abroad had absolutely no effect on our stock and commodity markets. They whispered that the time for currency stabilization had arrived. That is the confidential advice they gave oar. itooseveit. Cotton The President's threaten ed clash with the cotton inflation. ists actually turned out to be a handshaking affair. ine reason was that administra tion men got to the inflationists be. fore their White House call. Roose. velt spokesmen whispered that he was trying to help cotton and any puoiic criticism wouia only emtar s nun. The cotton people saw the sound- ness of that argument and avoided the inflation subject during their Masks What impressed them prl. vately was the President's good hu mor about the whole economic out look. They quoted him as saying: inings are turning out just as I expected." They do not know Mr, Roosevelt very well. He frequently masks his real feelings behind a mask of good numor. However, their deduction was very important that particular day be cause Wall Street started a series of ridiculous rumors that Mr. Roose. velt had pneumonia and what not. Those who wanted to drive down the stock market used an item In a New York newspaper to help their dirty work. All the item said was that the president had a slight fever the previous day. That was enough for rampant Dears m a declining market. Advertising It seemed peculiar lor tne (arm administrator, George Peek, to deny recently that the ad ministration was going to Interfere with advertising. No one had accused him of trying to interfere. No explanation was of fered In the denial. It sounded as if he was having a pipe dream. He was not. He had good reason to be alarmed. Here is the story: The tobacco manufacturers were holding a conference one day with a gentleman named Mordecal Eze kiel. He Is the assistant agriculture secretary under Wallace. Those present thought they heard Ezekiel lecture them about their advertising appropriations. They felt sure he said these appropriations would have to be cut. That sounded to them as though tlie government was trying to run their business. They ran from tlie conference to their advertising agents and asked: "How about this?" Tlie result was a roarback that stretched from coast to coast. It deafened Peek, Ezekiel, Wallace and Prof. Tugwcll. Enthusiastic Roy Howard, head of the Scrlnps-How- nrd newspapers, became interested. He led the roar. It was quite obvious that an edict like that would throw hundreds of thousands out of employment. Aside from the advertising business Itself, there were newspapers, radio broad casters, billboard men and others di rectly involved. Far more men would have lost their Jobs than have been put to work by the public works program so far. Mr. Ezekiel calmed the uproar somewhat by denying he had ever said anything like that. He asserted he had been misunderstood. That was not enough. Although the story had not leaked out, Peek decided to deny it so that If anyone heard It it would not bo believed. All was quiet again on the Poto mac. Rails Railroad Coordinator East- man Is taking his Job seriously; The President told him to try to make the railroads buy some steel rails, so he became a high-pressure salesman instead of a coordinator. He went secrelly to the steel In stitute and asked what kind of a price it would give the roads for more than a million tons of rails. The whisper is that the Institute told him it would cut the price from $42 to 137 a ton. Eastman then went to the roads and tried to sell them the idea of taking the rails. That Is what you have to do In government these days. Stocks Wall 8trceters swear they are sincere about moving to New Jersey. Their private list the other day showed 1200 out of the 1300 members of the stock exchange al ready signed up. They think they have a scheme whereby they can duck the city tax by transferring their stocks In New Jersey, and at tlie same time issuing selling and buying orders from their New York offices. The telephone bill next verse to our text Paul says, MI keep under my body, and bring It Into subjection. Then we shall meet opposition from those about us. The old hymn says: "la this vile world a friend to grace To help me on to God?" We may not like that way of putting It, but any one In his senses knows that we cannot go with the crowd and follow Christ. There must be a parting of the ways, and that means opposition. And this battle with one's self and one's surroundings is not won once lor all. It Is a daily battle. daily renewed. And it Is a battle in which we sometimes lose, and some times win. A wise man has said. "The difference between the sinner and the saint Is that the saint keeps on trying!" There Is a story of a soldier whose sword was broken in a battle and he threw the broken blade away and gave up the fight. But the prince came along who had lost his own sword and he, finding the broken weapon, seized It, re newed the fight and won a great victory. This is tho true Christian attitude. The battle is not lost un til we cease our efforts, and pusll lanimously surrender. "Fight on, my soul, till death Shall bring thee to thy Qod. He'll take thee at thay parting breath To His divine abode." DONS DEFEATED BY NEVADA, 12-7 San Francisco, Sept. 23 (P) Uni versity of Nevada's Wolves returned to Reno today with a 12-7 victory over the University of San Francisco as their prize and the added distinc tion of having scored the first foot ball upset of the season.

Shortly after the opening kickoff, Marvin Turner, Nevada left tackle, intercepted Mclnnls' pass and raced 55 yards through a broken field to the first touchdown. Cashlll's place kick on the try for point hit the cross bar. The Dons came back in the second quarter to march 82 yards down the field, only to lose the ball when a pass fell Incomplete over the goal line.

EVERY WEEK AT PEN PIG KILLING TIME Every week is pig-killing time at the Oregon state penitentiary s model farm, near tlie prison. The prison keeps an average herd of 275 hogs, which furnish hams, bacon, chops and other staples to all state institutions in Salem. When little pigs become shoats, they are put Into one of a long series of pens. Each week, as they steadily be come bigger pigs, they move one pen down the line, until finally they reach one next to a scientifically- arranged and sanitary slaughter house. When they leave that one. they become pork. Eight hogs a week are butchered at the prison the year around. A meat cooling room is maintained to keep the pork at proper temperatures. A considerable proportion of all food used in Salem Institutions is produced at the prison farm, which consists of 958.35 acres and 400 acres more rented land. A herd of 40 Holsteln cows provides fresh milk, , with butter and other dairy pco-i ducts. The two bulls with the herd are among the best-bred in Oregon.

EAVERS MUFF OPPORTUNITY TO REPLACE STARS Br thi Associated Press Portland was still back in third place in the Coast league standings today after muffing a golden op portunity last night to slip past the idle Hollywood club. With the Stars and Angels Idle at Los Angeles, the Beavers could have taken over the second place job with a double victory over Sac ramento at Portland. Instead the 1932 champions booted away the first game 7-6 and were lucky to eke out a 3-1 win in tne 7-inning nfnhtcaD. A pair of errors by Beeves and one by Sheely, Portland shortstop and first baseman, helped the Sen ators to two unearned runs and the game. Ed Bryan and Bill Sanders were touched for 13 hits by tne Bea vers but received strong offensive support from Larry Woodall and Prenchy Bordagaray, who clouted three safeties apiece.

Oscar Eckhardt, the Reds' Coast league batting champion, also con nected for four saietles. MARKS' AUTOMOBILE WRECKED ON FENCE An automobile belonging to Sena tor Wlllard Marks of Albany was almost a complete wreck tdoay as a result of an accident on Pacific highway at the Sunnyside bridge south of Salem shortly alter mid night. Robert Marks, son of the Albany attorney, and Don Thomas of Eu gene were returning from Port land asd Thomas, who was driving, was making use of the free-wheel-ini mechanism which he apparently was not familiar with. The car swerved into a fence, taking out a section of it and wrecking the car, according to a state police report. Except for a hard knock on Thomas' head the boys were not hurt. LIONS PLANNING DANCE FOR CHARITY Salem families which might oth erwise go hungry" next Christmas will benefit as the result of a dance which the local Lions club will hold at Crystal Gardens Fri day night, September 29. Each Christmas the Salem Lions furnish good and appropriate gifts to a number of deserving families. Wish ing to have ample funds with which to finance the project this year, they ares getting an early start. Tlie "Haywire orchestra,"' con sisting of a group of four men, has been secured to provide entertain ment during the hours of dancing. This orchestra has gained wide popularity because of the novelty numbers presented. Persons who like the modern steps and those who prefer the so called old fashioned variety, will be accommodated by the Lions, since both floors of the Crystal Gardens have been engaged for the occasion. The Lions have been divided into two groups, headed by John Marr and C. Leland Smith, for the pur pose of selling tickets. The losing group will be required to provide the program for the next ladies' night of the club. Mrs. Gene Gra benhorst and Mrs. Harry Scott have been selected to head the Lions' ladies in the work of distributing tickets.

(Coprrtiht. 1933. br United Press) Havana, Sept. 23 ip A split be tween students and army enlisted men supporting President Grau San Martin seemed Imminent today. The situation placed the revolution ary government in danger. CoL Fulgendo Batista, army chief, was reported angry because student refused to compromise with political lenders and conferred secretly with opposition leaders, pre liminary to aeaaing tne army's course. The government's life was saved for the moment today when It ap parently outwitted sponsors of a plan for a concerted revolt of rebel bands planted throughout the Isl and. Indications were that the respite might be brief and that If students' refusal to compromise continued, a revolt of overwhelming scope would begin. , Old War Scandal Exposed ,4 S JSS Edward G. Robinson A startling romantic drama that has its underlying theme the ardent affairs of a meat baron and a grand opera star comes to the Elsinore theater Sunday with the First Na tional picture, "I Loved a Woman," starring Edward G. Robinson with Kay Francis playing opposite him. Besides the tremendous love dra ma, the story reveals the packing scandals of the Spanish -American war. particularly the 'embalmed beef episode of the former conflict. PLAYER GROUP With much interest evidenced duriii? the summer concerning re newed activities ot unemeicew Plavers this coming season an nouncement is made by Perry Pres cott Reigelman, director of the group, that the first meeting of the season will be held next Wednes day night, September 27, in Nelson auditorium, at which time plans for reorganization will be made public. Although several of last season's players have removed from Salem, those who are here nave aeciarea themselves eager to continue.. All old members of the group are urged to be present at the meeting Wed nesday night. Young men and wom en who take dramatic work seriously or who are seeking an opportunity for self-expression in the allied arte of the theater, are Invited to at tend. Plans for the season Include the presentation of exceptional plays, revival of one or two smash hits of other days, popular come dies, and original dramas. Received recently for considera tion are "Modern Medley," by Diana Rieee, of Baltimore, and los Gringos," by Wesley Dexter Gordon, former Willamette university stu dent, now of Sonoma, Calif. "Mod ern Medley" is a serious study of a modern family in which the wire is obsessed with a desire to make newspaper headlines, which precipi tates a crisis in the lives of her husband and her daughter. "Los Grlngog, is a story of early Cali fornia days and was first produced by the Sonoma Community theater and is scheduled for winter produc tion by two Berkeley groups. The first play won the national play writing contest conducted two years ago by the dramatic depart ment oi Johns Hopkins university and was produced in the University Playshop. Activities In play-production in clude business, production, and act ing. These are sub-divided into membership, publicity, finance, cos tuming, scene designing, art, stage management, electrician, carpenter, properties, house management, make-up, and the problems of the actor and direction. Continuation of Plant Purchase From Page One must be used for the purchase of materials and payment of labor and overhead expense during construc tion. Acauisltion of the city distribut ing system must be financed wholly from other sources, and none of the loan or grant money will be avail able to defray the costs of condem nation proceedings. If the city is to take advantage or the loan offer it must first arrange with the water company for pur chase of the plant out of other re sources. The charter amendment authorizing a municipal water sys tem specifies that the costs must be met out of the sale of water bonds, and imposes the restriction that the bonds cannot be sold for less than 95 cents on the dollar. In the event of condemnation, court costs must also be paid out of the proceeds of bond sales. Bond experts assert that there is no hope of selling a million dollar block of bonds at 95 with market conditions as they are. . Bona houses have refused to make any committments as to what prices such a block of bonds would bring the city, but It is known that one large concern has recent ly been seeking to negotiate a deal whereby it agree to take $750,000 worth of the bonds from the com pany at 86 cents on the dollar. Since then, however, the makret for municipal bonds has slumped to some extent Since the charter forbids the sale of these bonds by the city for less than 95, members of the council are approaching the problem of purchase of the plant from another angle. To absorb the difference be tween the market value and par value of the bonds the city, under this plan, would Increase Its offer to the company by that amount. 1-nat is. u tne aereed price of purchase Is $950,000 net to the com pany the city would be required to turn over approximately $1,105,000; in bonds at their par, or redemption value, If the market values at the time the sale was consumated was If the city were permitted to take I advantage of It option to sell the, and Kay Francis The screen play by Charles Kenyon and Sidney Sutherland is based on David Karsner's smashing novel.

The picture was directed by Alfred E. Green, who directed Robinson in "Silver Dollar." STAGG PLEASED ALTHO BEATEN Portland, Ore., Sept. 23 (VP) The "grand old man" of football, Amos Alonzo Stagg, headed home for Stockton today, smiling and en thusiastic at the prospects of his College of the Pacific team de spito its 12 to 0 defeat here last night at the hands of Oregon Normal. No alibi was heard when the final gun sounded. Instead, the gray haired veteran of 41 seasons at Chi cago university observed: . "It was a great gamel" and In the same breath with which he express ed satisfaction at the showing of his boys, he complimented Larry Wolfe on the heads-up football displayed by Oregon Normal. The youthful Wolfe, whose teams are known for their trick plays, re turned the compliment with the prediction that on the basis of their showing last night the College of the Pacific eleven will develop into one of the outstanding teams of their class. Grinning, he observed that his only trick that caught Stagg's boys by surprise was the sudden use of a southpaw passer. Scroggins, the left-hander, in at half for Graham, returned the kick off at the start of the third period 10 yards to his own 34, advanced 14 yards on a fake around end, and shot a southpaw pass 20 yards to Phillips, who ran 25 yards to score. The same Scroggins intercepted a pass in the final period and ran 60 yards for a touchdown. The vis itors had advanced by an aerial at tack from their own 35 to Oregon Normal's 20, when Wilson snapped the pass that Scroggins grabbed.
