Mc Donald, who died today, for his untimely death is a community loss. He was a man of vision of the sort that builds cities. A decade ago .he foresaw for Eugene its present development, and in his own line of business prepared for it. His ideals high and resulted in giving and better attractions than size enjoy, lie kept his standards of service not only up to but ahead of the eitv's general growth. The crowning achievement of his career in Eugene, the splendid Lowell theater and business block which he planned and built in conjunction with the Schaefers brothers, and which now ncars completion, will be his lasting monument. That he did not live to see it fully completed and opened is one of the tricks of fate. Mr. McDonald was a man of charming personality. His gentle southern courtesy won to him those with whom ho came in contact. To his friends he was broad- minded, kind and ever generous. ' To his ft'ifo he was aj devoted husband and companion. To his only son he was Rot alone a liberal and indulgent father but also a constant associate and comrade in . work and play. J3y all of these lie will be very greatly missed. A New Security Plan. ALTHOUGH the council of the league of nations re cently scrapped the protocol of arbitration and se curity at Geneva, it accompanied that action with a mitigating gesture, by referring the protocol again to the assembly of the league which is to meet in September. There was practically no chance that the assembly would blow new life into the defunct protocol. The action of the council appeared merely to bo that of saving the assembly's face by referring to it a question already settled, to all intents and purposes. Great Britain, which took the lead in scrapping the protocol proposal, now comes forward with substantial support of a substitute proxsnl which may accomplish the same end that the protocol's adoption wtnild have accomplished. This is the joining by the powers of the entente with Germany in a mutual pact which shall guarantee existing western European frontiers. The open initiative for this proposed guarantee came from Germany, but it is perfectly apparent that she had prior understanding with Great Britain regarding it. The Bxitish foreign minis.ter has publicly placed his govern ment bohind it. Tho French position towards the Ger man overtures has not been made entirely clear, but ' apparently Franco will participate. At present the prospect appears very bright for tho porfection of tho pact. It is tho opinion of tho present British government that tho thing , most necessary to bo guaranteed is tho security of Europe against recurrence of German aggres sion. This, in the view of Austen Chamberlain, tho for eign secretary, can best bo accomplished through the proposed pact. , Britisli Columbians are very much liko the Xorth Americans who live south of their border. At the Hotary convention in Portland this week 0110 of tho songs most often sung and with greatest gusto was "Tho Optimist Song," to the tune of "Turkey in tho Straw," brought down by tho McMinnville club. It is a song typically Yankee in make-up, but the Canadians toro into it with keenest appreciation every time it was offered. It went thus: Oh his horso went dond and his mule went lnmo, And ho lost six rows In a poker pamo; Then a hurricane came on a summer's dny And blew tho house whore ho lived .away; An earthquake came when that was gone, Am) swallowed up the land thnt the house stood on; Then tho tax collector came around, And charged hiin up with a hole in the cround. llolo In tho ground, to, he, hn, Was ho discouraged? No, slree, lln struck McMinnville and tho spell wont down And now he's the dudo of the wholo (lorn town. The Tennessee legislating has passed, and Governor Austin Peay has signed a bill prohibiting the teaching of tho theory of evolution in tho schools, because, tho governor says, it is at variance with the teachings as to man's creation related in tho Bible. Efforts to stiflo human thinking aro not new in the world. Some times we fancy we are outgrowing them, but then along conies somebody liko the Tennessee governor ami jolts us back to realization that progress is not universal after all. 'Eppur si niuove" muttered Galileo, after being forced to recant tho heresy of his theory con cerning the relation of tho earth to the solar system. Tho Corvallis Gazette-Times deplores the change of editors that has taken place in the Salem .Statesman 'office, because it will miss so terribly the writings of Mr. Brady, who retires. This line of reasoning is not eo unaccountable. Some people like parsnips and are sorry when the season for them is over. Tlie two Cottage Grove Elberts, Bode and Smith, aro going to hold open house in their printshop at the Sentinel office next Saturday.

Ludlow ii lid I THE PRESS law. A Innf ns men and women per t In breaking tlie low, ths law en torreinent olflrers must endeavor to uphold tho law; and in their battle tf tt-itx, there will be mistakes mnde and there will he a treat diapluy of Indtn natinn over ruthless violation of the fiiiKiitr of the Amvrii-na home. Aud a considerable portion of this hue and cry will be reaved by the very per sons who are breaking fbe prohibition law. It is a grave offense, of course, when police officers enter a home without authority and subject its in mates to tbe humiliation of a search. We havo no defense for this sort of htiog. Rut we are not ready to see that it is any graver meoace to the permanency of our government nor is it a more serious assault on the traditions of our nation than is the practice cf a constant and never-ceasing breaking of federal and state lawn. The unpopularity of tae probib thn laws has placed a greut burden on our police officers. They must fight vio lations or ele they make themselves liable to the charge of condoning them. They must stamp them out, or else law enforcement becomes a mocke.-r. It is futile for them to attempt this work through the regular police force. For tbey cannot figut in the open. Tlie law violators work in secrecy and they capitalize to the'r own advantage our American tradition of home pri vacy. They rely on one of our funda mental privileges and blessings for success in breaking the law. Law enforcement officers are obliged, therefore, to select men who sre unknown to violators, if they are to match wits with them successfully. It is not cay to find competent men for this kind of work, io men of n higli sense of honor and of successful accora-plisiiment, such work is impos sible. It results, therefore, that law enforcement agents must be chosen from the ranks of inferior men, of men whose judgment is less sound, for this important work. It is tin unthinkable that heads of police de partments will encourage these men in carrying on their work in an un lawful manner. Rut it is certain that there will be occasions when these subordinates will muke mistakes and will bring humiliation and shame on iunocent people. SucU en occasion occasion happened in Portland the other dny. Rut let u be careful at this point to fix the responsibility. The viola tion of that Portland home wns caused h.v the men and women who mnke the work of search and seizure necessary, the men and women who keep intoxi eating liquors in their homes. Ther sre fhe persons who are responsible. And If it be true that the prohibition law is menscing the privacy of our homes, let us understand fully and clearly who tlie persons are who are to blame, Do It Right. (Astoria Budget) A number of yeors ago when the westorly end of jjie Columbia high way was paved, tbe state highway commission decided upon an experi ment and paved the nine miles of the road immediately east of Astoria with pavement of the aspbaltic type two inches in thickness. Time tins goneand the pavement has gone with it. Despite constant and extensive patching, (he two-inch pavement has failed until now It is going to pieces so geuernlly nnd rapidly that the -hlgh- Wny commission 1ms abandoned hope of suving it nnd Thursday will open bids for the widening and entire sur facing of this stretch of Toad. It was proven thnt two-Inch asphsltic pave ment Inid under the conditions pre vailing on 4he Columbia highway end subject lo the traffic using tho road could not stand up. The pnvcmeiit laid originnlly on the teclor of the highway was 10 feet In width. Tho plans for tho resur faced highway call for pavement 110 feet in width. As the commission ex perimented with the thickness of the earlier pavoment, so it experimented with the width. In both cases the pavement lend fell short of expecta tions, It was too thin, snd it wns too narrow. In order to Tectify these faults, the state will hare to spend certainly over a quarter of ft million dollars. The money put in the orig inal pavement was not lost, to he sure, hut if the rood had been constructed right In the first place, a great saving would havo been made. Timber Mrmers. (Salem Statesman) The Statesmsn published a letter the other day from a man who has en gaged in timber fanning. It attracted our special attention because it is along the lines that must be followed in Oregon. We must replant our for ests, we must find some way or re placing cut timber. Ry careful timber farming It is possible to keep force's going forever, but we can not depend upon tho government's reforestation. That is on a gigantic scale, of course, hut the resl test will be how well the Individual farmer replaces his cut limber. This opens an avenue of great nosslbilltles for the Oregon people and one that we must follow.

A now bed lime Btorr. reminiscent of Grimm's Fairy 'J'nlcs or the folk stories of JInns I'hristiun Andcrscu, liua reached WnfOimfilon along with tho arrival of the Uerinnn ambassa dor, Uaron Ago von MalUan, uud his young wife nnd daughter. Ihc highly romantic and fanciful naturo of tho yarn already has serv ed to lufpiro an unusual interest, in tho athlete, blond diplomat ylioa to represent here the affairs of the. new German republic. ". " About JjO years ago, or in loSS. tho story goea, the Baroness Kva von Maltzan, from whom the present ambassador is descended, while lying n her great canopied bed following tho birth of a sun, dreamed that there appeared beforo her a tiny iittlo man with a long whito beard. 'Good lady, the little nmn said, "I am a gnome,; a goblin. In (ha old days my people lived among men and helped them. But man has become unkind, and wo are migrating north ward. "Wo stopped in your castle to rest and are living under the floor of your bed chamber. My granddaughter has been taken ill. Oil from your lamp is dripping through the floor and falling on her bed. l'icase move your lamp." The baroness awoke. She looked around, hut saw no one. But the next night she had the same dream. On the third night, the little figure appeared again, "Twice, lady," be said, 'I have begged you to free my grandchild from the oil dropping on her bed. Now she is worse. For the In New York j By JAMES W. DEAN VEW YOHK, March 2r. All beauty Js not stifled In New York's tene ment life. It buds and flourishes and seems the brighter became of its background, like a red rose growing in black loam. Out of the dark byways of the tenements have come some of our greatest artists. But those left behind are not without their beauty. They plow along from day to day in their dull, drab occupations but with their heads iu tho clouds potential Caru aos driving trucks, Harryinores lay ing bricks, poets selling fish nnd painters digging ditches. This thought occurs as I become acquainted with William Uowrie. He Is a letter carrier, but fur 'JO years he has been an amateur actor, pay ing some of the greatest roles of all time iu little out-of-the-way halls and club rooms. Just now he has a lending role in Brot Jiartc's "Halomy Jane." being preseuted by the Cellar Play ers. It is the first revival of this classic in New York for many years. The Cellar 1'layers have been or ganised about eight years. The mem bership of 40 iucludes truck drivers, piano movers, clerks and stenograph ers. The plays are presented at the Hudson guild, a settlement house on he fringe of Hell's Kitchen. These amateurs have little or no hope of fame and care little about that. They are satisfied that they are creating something of besuly for themselves, something tn life beyond bread and butter. i Settlement workers Always remind j me of gArdeners tending plants.

Impressed by the little man's ear nestness the baroness awoke, rang fot her maid and ordered the lamp moved. ' Kight nights later the midget gray beard came again, smiling and happy. His grandchild was well again, he said and they were leaving. "I leave you a necklace," he said. 'as a token of our gratitude. Treas ure it. So long as It passes from son to son iu your family it will bring good fortune. AVhcu a penrl changes color, the head of the family will die. Should one be damaged, misfortune will come." And with a bow the gnome disap peared. The baroness awoke. And in her fingers was a beautiful siring of pearls. Those pearls, aro still the most treasured possessions of tho von Maltzans. It is not likely Washington society will get t, chance to examine and admire them) for they have been kept for many generations in the family cattle of Militsch, iu Silesia. But time has confirmed the prom ise of their giver. The Maltzana in creased in wealth and power. Ju 10 HI, Joachim von Maltzan, dur ing a family banquet, accidentally broke one of the pearls with his dag ger. Almost at the same instant a stroke of lightning wrecked a part of the castle. Ever since then they have been guarded carefully from harm, but havo passed from son to son as the most prized Inheritance of the ancient family. and you'll find dozens of these green houses for humans, the Henry Street Settlement, Madison House, the White Door Settlement, Jacob Kiis House, Lenox Hill Settlement, Harlem House and many, many others. m m w A song writer named Pease made a mistake the other night when he broadcast from a local radio station.
