"With or without offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it poes." "Menace From the Top" Under the above caption the Oregonian says that Presi Bent Roosevelt is now "trying constitution" and is "pushing racy with himself as autocrat. man. And for proof of its charges it quotes from the pres Ident's letter to Representative puffey coal control bill the concluding sentence: T hope your committee will not however reasonable, to block the suggested legislation. This is declared to "express the plain intent of the pres ident to override the constitution of he can." It is an old and unfair partisan trick to ignore the text and spirit of tng paragraph the president A decision of the supreme court relative to this measure would be helpful as Indicating, with increasing clarity, the constitutional limits within which this government must This Is anything but a out a reasonable request to ascertain just how the court con utrues the constitution in relation to the recovery program mid how far the federal government is permitted to go in cooperation with industry and agriculture in the effort to substitute a planned economy Though congress is full of lawyers ready to predict how the court will decide, they cannot speak with authority any more than the Oregonian can, and are just as apt to be wrong as they have been before. Most of our vital decisions have been by a single vote, showing that neither the consti. tution nor the precedents of precise theory of government jure would have unanimous decisions, which we seldom have. A bill becomei a law when passed by both houses of tongress and signed by the president under the constitution: fei we have business organizations and the partisan press advising industrial leaders not to obey the law because the supreme court has not passed upon it. Yet not to obey a law is to flout the constitution a thing the president has Hot yet dona. Under this theory, legislation would remain inoperative, until in the course It. This theory makes the courts usurp both the rights of the legislative and executive branches. Until the president actually advocates nullification vision by amendments as the rot nullification talk of nullification and autocracy is po litical bunk. The Lobby Probe The lobby probea at Washington have proven that the flood of telegrams that delayed congress to preserve utility holding companies and induced congressmen to kill the "death sentence" clause to protect the "widows and or phans" were largely fake affairs to which the names of per- sons in city directories were forged by holding company em ployes. The president described this utilities lobby as the most txywerful ever seen in Washington. It must have been to . switch the votes. One of the utility magnates admits over $5UU,uuu was spent. And Representative Brewster of Maine, whose charges stnrted It all, seems to be in a tight box. Brewster, a former governor, elected because of his op position to utilities, who had been a staunch supporter of the Wheeler bill, switched his vote at the show-down and voted against the death sentence, giving as his reason that he resented threats made by Thomas Corcoran, an adminis tration lawyer of holding up a federal Maine power project. He repeated the story before the investigating committee. Corcoran denied the threat and testified that Brewster had helped to fight for the "death sentence," but finally wavered and proposed to dodge the vote. "You're a liar," shouted Brewster. Dr. Ernest Onioning, old friend and supporter of Brew Mcr and tho only witness to Corcoran-Bre water conversa tion supported Corcoran's story as did other witnesses, leav ing Brewster's resentment alibi unsupported. It is hoped the investigators find out what caused Brewster to shift his stand. It would throw more light on utility lobbying. A Christian War Abyssinia has been a Christian nation as long as Italy has. The national religion is Monnphysile Christianity, 1 hough Judaism and Islam are found in certain regions. The head of the Abyssinian church is the abuna (our father), who is a Coptic monk nominated by the Patriarch of Alex andra. His influence is modified by the Itchege, who Is an Abyssinian nnd controls the religous orders numbering 100,000 ecclesiastics. The Abyssinian empire dates from the first century B. C.( on the downfall of the Ttolemies. Christianity was introduced in 330 by Foumentius, nnd monachism in 440 from Kgypt by the "nine saints." It, was in 312 that Con stantino made Christianity the official religion of Homo. So we have the spectacle of the oldest Christian nation In Europe preparing for a predatory war of aggrandizmcnt on the oldest and only Christian nation of Africa, and that in violation of the League of Nation's pact, to which both are signatory, and the Kellogg pact to outlaw war. as well as the precepts or Christ, and the rulers of both nations ap pealing to God to bless their cause. The war is launched by Mussolini primarilv to divert attention from the economic plight in Italy an old device of dictators, and whipped up by a controlled press and the customary patriotic propaganda to arouse the war spirit. ' 1 here exists no cause other than covctousness of the posses "Jons of others. Yet we hear no word of protest from the church In Italy probably because of censorship. The sympathy of the world will be with Abvssinians who are fighting to preserve their ancient independence and menacing no one. They am facing great odds but their cause is far from hostess and the great cost may bankrupt Itnlv and overthrow Mussolini.

Chapter 38 POISOV PEV "Well," Ouy went on, "about a month later, I began to find my practice vanishing. Patients who had been seeing me every day wrote and said they felt they'd like an other doctor; people I met began to look at me In a funny sort of way, and I found myself being cut in the street. "I stood It as ion? as I could and then I got hold of a man I knew quite well and asked him what had happened. He told me that there was a most scurrilous story going round about me and a young Amer ican girl called Trevor who had dis appeared. "I went to the French police, of course; they tracked the tale home to some anonymous letters which had been sent to my patients. But though they did their best, they couldn't trace the writer. And that wasn't the worst! I was asked to leave the club. "My dear!" Alison's eyes were full of sympathy. "How awful for you!" "Not too nice was it?" he con curred. "Anyway. I soon saw that I wasn't getting a living any more; I couldn't even sell my practice for a fifth of the sum I gave. I had to clear out. I came home here to England and I put Scotland Yard on to tracing the letters. But by then the trail was cold and they failed. An old friend of mine, Dundas, let me stop with him and help a bit in return for my board and I'd one consolation, a ny way ; I was doing good work again, where it was needed." He was silent for a few seconds, looking straight out oerore him, His clear, light eyes came down slow ly and rested on her face. "You know, I'm not sorry, now! I mean, that it happened." He was smiling at her. "If it hadn't, I'd be out there now!" "Rather a big price to pay!" said Alison. "Not too big." "Not?" "No! Not a bit. 1 didn't know that anyone could be as much in love as I am with you!" "Are you?" She knew it. yet was pining to hear him say so. "You know I am. Utterly. When I thought I'd lost you, yesterday, I went nearly crazy. "So did I. It was half a whisper. "Directly after the door shut I was sorry. I wanted to tear after you down the street." "Did you?" "Mm mm . , The clock struck the half hour. A very fat man with a scowl and a rolled newspaper, waiting for his lunch, glowered impatiently at the two wno sat at the corner table. He muttered grumpily. "Indecent, I call it!" and looked at his watch. A young clerk, looking for a free chair, caught at the back of one by Alions table, looked down, raised his eyebrows and went elsewhere wearing a very wide grin. Totally unconscious that anyone had even looked at them, Guy and Alison drifted back Into their inter rupted conversation. "You begin to see how It was?" "I think so.' she said. "But I don't quite understand where the house at Warley came in." 'I'll tell you that in a minute, More coffee? No? A clgnret? Don't you? Just as well? We shan't be able to afford it!" Alison turned so bright a pink that It clashed with the red ribbon on her hat. "Be quiet! Someone'!! hear you!1 "Let 'em." said Guv briefly. "What was I saying? Oh, yes. Warley. It was like this. I'd given up all hope of finding out who'd sent those letters, though I felt pretty certain in my own mind that It was this woman. I told you about. I didn't know anyone else who would hate me enough. "Then one day I was putting through a 'phone call at that lit tle restaurant where we went in Soho -it's run by a patient of mine and I often go therewhen I aaw those t6 at the very next table. The woman and the fellow she got mixed up with in France the gig olo. "What was he like?" Alison broke in. "The man? Dark. SpaniMi-look- uig that a why I asked you the other day."

One could hear 'em half across the restaurant. She was calling him every name under the sun because he hadn't married her after her husband's death. He was a nasty bit of work and he simply sat and shrugged his shoul ders a?id sneered and told her that if she wanted him she'd better get some money. "He told her that if she hadn't been a fool, she'd have known about her husband having an annuity. She was obviously dreadfully in love with the fellow and half off her head and I rather hoped ihe might say something that would give me a clue. Unfortunately, she looked up and saw me. "She went about as white as that menu and shut up as if she'd lost her tongue and I saw the man look round at me. Then a waiter came up and told me that he'd put through my call and that Dundas was on the telephone and when I got back they'd both gone. But for that I might have followed them. That was about six weeks ago. And I heard nothing more at all until the other night, the night that 1 met you." "About 6 o'clock that evening, I was In the surgery and I got a 'phone caU. I couldn't place the voice at all. It night have been a man's or a woman's, it had a sort of whistling sound in it as if the person had got asthma." "Talking through a comb," sug gested Alison. "I hadn't thought of that! You're probably right," he agreed. "Any way, the person said that if I was at the Croft House, Warley, Sussex, at eleven-thirty, punctually, that night, I would meet the writer of the anonymous letters. "So I left London that night di rectly after I was done with my last case, got down just before eleven and parked my car right up on the downs. Then I walked down to the house as quietly as I could, found a good spot just across the road and lay down to wait. You see, I guessed the person'd turn up to wait for me, since the house looked empty and r meant to have a look at 'em first. But then I saw a light moving in side the house "My light!" "Yes. So I started to get into the garden and Investigate, when I saw someone climbing in through the open window. So I thought lt d be a good idea to climb in too, and sur prise 'em, as they'd be expecting me to arrive by the door. Anyway, I got in and the next thing I knew was your hand in my face and a terrific yell." Alison looked at him curiously. "But why didn't you tell me right off? I mean your name and why you were there?" "Because I was such a complete and utterly blind fool that I thought that you might have something to do with it!" "With the anonymous letters?" "Yes. Or the telephone call. I felt in my bones that you were telling me the truth, of course, but well, I didn't know what they were play ing at, and I didn't mean to be caught. That's why I couldn't tell you I'd a car and take you into Warley and that's the reason I wanted you to wait upstairs, I did-1 nt mean them to catch us together. You see, those letters had practic ally accused me of causing the Tre vor girl to disappear and I thought they might be trying it again. I tell you, I was a blind fool!" "Not a bit," contradicted Allison, "I think It was rather natural after what you'd been through." "Not to anyone who'd seen vou retorted Guy, "I ought to have known but anyway, that's what I did think. So when you were in bed I went through all the drawers In that desk, to see if I could find out who owned the house." (To be continued.!

Miss Warner did her "outraging" by dancing in the nude. The deci sion against the American made a basis for a widespread prosecution of all nude dancers in theaters and night clubs here. Judge Rebrasier decided: "Mile. Warner's dance Is artistic but too naked." M. Fraudrin, manager of the club where Joan danced, was fined 200 francs about $13 because of his "purely commercial spirit." The costs of the trial multiplied the fines eightfold. The judge said Miss Warner's "powder and paint somewhat mask ed her nakedness, but the single ar ticle Mile. Warner wore concealed very little." He commented that the dancer "undressed bit by bit her dance is artistic but it is difficult to distin guish between art and Indecency; sometimes a look or a gesture will change everything." Unless it is upset on appeal, the verdict constitutes a police guide, the judge announcing: "A nude dance cannot be tolerated even if it is artistic." WARM WEATHER DISTURBS HARVEST Clear Lake Berry picking has been brought to a halt in this vi cinity due to hot weather. Only the north sides of the vines are being gathered now and if it still contin ues this week will almost end them. Cherries are all gathered. Sour cherries finished last week. Lots of hay going into bails and bams with only fair crops reported. Early peaches are being picked now. Market is poor with only fair crop. Most orchards report a very short peach crop this year. several poultrymen reported quite heavy losses of their flocks during last Saturday and Sunday heat. Ce- cil Boyds lost 12 hens and David Schlags lost 21 pullets just starting to lay. Quite a number of nice fields of corn around which did not show much damage of hot weather. Gar dens and tomatoes and peaches were badly hurt. LYTLE ACCUSES MEDICINE FIRM Patent medicine companies are behind congressional legislation to divert Bangs disease testing funds to experimental medicinal treatment of the disease, charged Dr. W. H. Yytle, animal Industries division chief of the state department of agriculture. The disease Is now being effec tively controlled and eradicated by the only method known to medical science testing, slaught e r i n g, cleaning and disinfecting, and re- testing." said Lytic. It was not enough that brown sugar and bran should have been sold to distressed dairymen as i cure for the infectious abortion,' Dr. Lytle said. "The medicine in terests now would establish claims to cures through establishment of family immunity In herds kept free from newly-added animals. A con certed effort Is being made by all state sanitary officials to impress on their congressional delegations that medicinal treatment of Bangs disease is worthless."

The peek a-boo game which Mr. Morgenthau is playing with the silver specula tors Is the one bright spot In an otherwise humorless situation here. Mr. Morgenthau is committed to bidding the existing 67-cent price of silver up to $1.29. Ordinarily: you would expect that everyone who could lay his hand on 67 cents would buy an ounce of silver and be assured of almost 100 per cent profit. But apparently no one will be lieve Mr. Morgenthau. at least not consistently. Some days ago, even the speculators began to doubt that he would do what the law requires him to do. A break was threatened In the London silver market. The speculators started unloading around 6 cents. To prove they were wrong about him, Mr. Morgenthau went out and bought forty to fifty million ounces of their holdings. It cost him about $30,000,000. It forced him to acquire in three days nearly twice as much silver as the United States produced in 1934. But it satisfied the speculators that Mr. Morgenthau Is not going to let them down. Super-confidence Someone told Mr. Morgenthau a few days later that it would take him eleven years to acquire the promised three-to-one silver ratio with gold at his present rate of buying. His com ment was asked. With customary frankness, Mr. Morgenthau unbuttoned his coat and replied: "Do you know the dif ference between an optimist and a pessimist?" Everyone present did. but no one told him, so he continued: "a pes simist wears both a belt and sus penders." From his preliminary gesture it was apparent that he was not wear ing a belt, but, sweeping back his coat In a further burst of confi dence, he disclosed that he also lacked suspenders. This, also, was encouraging to those who have Invested in silver because it proved Mr. Morgenthau has far more confidence than the ordinary man about two things in life, one of which Is siver. Encouragement That very day, Mr. Morgenthau received further proof that some important people believe him. even if some of the other speculators have remained unconvinced. An item appeared in newspapers that a syndicate com posed of John J. Raskob and Sen ator Key Pittman was buying i $5,000,000 stake in the old Comstock silver lode in Nevada. The inside story on this was that Senator Pittman, known in con gress as "Silved Key" because he always has the key to the silver policy, has been retained as attor ney in negotiations for merging five silver firms. A few of his Ne vada friends, including Zeb Ken dall, old time prospecting charac ter, and certain attorneys interest ed Mr. Raskob In the prospects of Mr. Morgenthau's silver policy to an extent ranging between $300,000 and $400,000. Understanding Senator Pitt- man's faith in Mr. Morgenthau was understandable to all insiders, be cause Pittman Is the new deal sil ver policy. He conceived it, wrote the law under which it is being con ducted and is understood to be a UNI)OWN' TORIES a. RIP IS FOUND Br Mary Graham Bonner '1 want to drive over to talk to your Uncle Norman aoout our camping trip." a lathei; said to his son Bert. "Will you come along?" "Sure." Bert answered. As they were driving out of the town to go to Un cle N o r m a n'S' place Bert said: una. aid you see that adver tisement about the dog that Is lost?

Surely some one will see me dog unless hes kept a prisoner; and If he's a friendly, nice do? there's no point in that. No point in it anyway." The father went on to talk about plans he had for the camping trip wnen suddenly Bert cried out: "Look. Dad. down by those tracks there'a a brown dog. Let me see if he can be Rip." The father stopped the car and the boy ran across a small field to the place where he had seen the dog. Rip? Are you Rip?'' Bert ex claimed. Rip had tried to hobble aav on his three legs. He had been having a hard time traveling with a sore paw and had had to stop every little while. When Rip heard hi name he knew that something had happened so that people who knew and un derstood were looking for him. He wsgwd his tall and barked in such a way thai Ihe boy knew hr must be Rip "They've advertised tor you. Rip!" Tomorrow "Going Horn" THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1938 valued advisor to Treasury General Counsel Oliphant in its adminis tration. It is therefore obvious that Mr. Raskob could not get an attorney who knows and will know more about the subject. But Mr. Raskob's display of faith was not obvious. The published stories failed to recall that his last big publicized investment was in the Al Smith campaign of 1928. Postmaster General Farley's demo cratic national committee still owes him $45,000 on that. It has been suggested that, If Mr. Raskob were big-hearted, he would apply his expected profits from Mr. Morgenthau's policy to cancelling the debt, but there seems to be some question as to how big Mr. Raskob's heart gets when the new deal is mentioned. At any rate, they are now one for all and all for a higher silver price Messrs. Morgenthau. Pitt man, Raskob and unidentifiable members of the-syndicate, the stock of which will not be sold to the public. Causes The spasmodic waves of distrust apparently are sponsored by new dealers themselves. For in stance, certain treasury officials dropped a few disparaging remarks about the silver policy before sen ator McCarran wrote a letter to Mr. Morgenthau some weeks ago asking if he was living up to the law. The most recent wave apparently is traceable to an article published in one of the new deal's own mag azines, criticizing the stiver policy gently. It is generally believed that one of Mr. Roosevelt's good advisers has lately changed hit mind and no longer sees economic possibili ties in the policy. Hopes At the moment, what Ihe silver speculators are plaguing Mr. Morgenthau is one way or another to find out is whether he will boost the price to $1.29 before next year's elections. There Is some betting that he will, because the silver sen ators will tell President Roosevelt It must be done in order to carry the five western silver states. The fact Is no one knows, but, If the policy is continued next year in the same Jovial spirit as during the past year, the faith of all silver investors in Mr. Morgenthau will be finally and forever vindicated . Assurances can now be given that they will erect a silver statue to him on the vacant north plaza of the treasury.
