They’re scaring people around here unnecessarily. Gates to the White House have been clanged shut and armed policemen stand there to shoo the throng of tourists away. Here tofore tourists could enter and wan der around the grounds, feeding pea nuts to the gray squirrels. That’s out now. The famed East .room ot the White House, visited by several thousand tourists daily, is barred. Ropes and barricades are in the corridors of the sprawling capitol building to curb visitors. Even mem bers of congress have had to indentify themselves to young law students who compose the capitol police. Last year these youths were unarmed; they were so green that it was not con sidered safe for them to carry weap ons. They have been rearmed. Guards at the doors of public build ings give the double-O to every man or woman entering the place. The policeman watching the faded Con stitution and Declaration turns gim let eyes on visitors scanning the docu ments as though he expected someone to steal the papers and ruin the country by leaving it minus the Con stitution. Knots of women wander through senate and house office buildings carrying small American flags and banners with the legend “Keep us out of war." If the group of women is too large, the police break them up and order them to stop screaming. business is successor to Geo.

LIFE STOBT OF GARNER A very interesting book is that written by Marquis James, “Mr. Gar ner of Texas,” which tells the story of the vice president’s life. It is of course a part of Mr. Gamer’s pro gram in seeking the presidential nomination next year on the demo cratic Ucket, but it makes interesting reading, even as a campaign docu ment. The vice president is John Nance Gamer III, for both his father and grandfather bore the same name as his. That Mr. Gamer usually gets what he diligently seeks was demonstrated when he secured his first political appointment, that of a judgeship in Texas—by appointment. The person who did the most campaigning against the appointment was a pretty girl, not yet a voter, and the newly named judge did not meet her until after the office was his. Yet within five months they were married and she has been a continuning source of help to him ever since. Mr. Gamer’s word is and always has been as good as his bond, and the democrats will make no mistake if they name him as standard bearer in Upswing in employment in the Pacific Northwest, noted several week ago, continues.

According to George Oerding, agent for Continental Insurance company in Coquille, this firm will soon be selling life insurance policies with a stipulated "war clause.” The effect of this step would be a protection against radical increase of preium payment to males who might be called to war and killed in action. Under the plan of this com pany, this risk will be cared for by additional up charges to any one elgi- ble for military service so that the company could meet such an emer gency. Moat other nationally known life insurance companies plan similar steps in the near future.

The wind is singing an autumnal song Across the fading Summer-dream, And like some murmurous phantom throng Is blending, unseen, in the chang ing scheme. The listless clouds float drowsily by, And cast their timely shadows down In rythmic vibrations, reflect the sky, And earth, and turn a smoky brown.
