LAW ENFORCEMENT SUPPORT
With law enforcem ent breaking down everyw here, m a
chine gun bands roving over our country in high powered
automobiles and the president making law observance oue
of his major activities, it is time to take stock in our home
couniy. The following from the Junction t ity Times is but
one angle to the situation in l-ane county:
Thi- paper d oe. not agree with Sheriff Swarla that the
arrest of Brnaat Kleppy for killing Black!« W ilcox in line of
duty w m a serious blow to law enforcement
On the con
trary we believe hts exhonoratlon by the graud Jury will be an
add to officers who have the courage to enforce the law. Had
he not been arrested a certain class would have said many
things about the incident. But being arrested and cleared
is an edict of the court that law enforcement will be upheld.
’’’he vary first step toward law enforcem ent is the
proper backing up of the sheriff and state police by the
district attorney s office. And that is the thing they seem
i o t w be getting in Lane county. Officer» can not be ex-
nected to risk their lives running down hardened crim inals
and take the necessary steps to affect an arrest if tne>
are going to be faced with ail indictment themselves and
see the crim inal freed or half prosecuted. A situation of this
kind is most demoralizing on law enforcem ent.
The Portland police departm ent bus shown a weak-
kneed policy through the longshoremen strike. W ithout
taking sides in the strike order could have been kept, the
rights of citizens protected and Portland saved much un
favorable advertising. Reason instead of violence might
have been a basis for a settlem ent that is not now in sight
with both sides mad.

The dom inating position of labor unions under NRA
Is not born out bv the findings of the National Industrial
Conference board.' It finds th at collective bargaining under
NRA has progressed as follows: labor unions 9.6 per cent,
other organizations 46.6 per cent, and individually 43.8 per
cent. The report says that the individual basis of employ
m ent still predom inates in small establishm ents.
The United S tates debt at the end of the w ar was 26
billion dollars. It was reduced by Republican adm inistra
tions to 16 billion. It has now been built back up to 32 bil
lions. and the end is not yet in sight. W hat to do about it
will be a problem for future years. We are now on a spend
ing spree without seeing much of the affects of it.
After all there is only one that m atters, the farm er
he has to sell his product for less than It cost to produce It.
Remedy this one thing and all the other schem es th at take
expensive bureaus to carry out will not be needed.
The right to declare war seems to be about the only
thing left congress. Now if the peace advocators will take
th a t privilege from our national body we can adjourn con
gress forever.

ANDY GOT HIS—
To keep Andy Looey, popular musician, in LaGrande. the school
board raised his salary. That made his salary higher than the prin
cipal's. so the principal's salary was raised. That made the principal s
salary higher than the superintendent's, so the superintendent's salary
was raised. That made the teachers feel they were entitled to be
protected from unjust discrimination and to avoid wronging them
their salaries were raised. Everybody is happy but the taxpayer, who
not only must pay these increased salaries but also pay thousands
of dollars of interest on school warrants outstanding because of tax
delinquency. Our authority for the facts is Eastern Oregon News.
If President Roosevelt desires equity in the New Deal he ought to
annex LeGrande school board as his College of Strategy.—Oregon

LUKE USHERS IN WOMEN
Paul, the most adventurous of the early Christian mis
sionaries, was often sick, and had as a physician a Greek
gentlem an named Luke. Luke had a friend named Theo-
philus v ho, as he thought would be interested in the story
of Jesus, but not in the form set forth by Mark or Mat
thew. Accordingly, Luke wrote:
forasm uch as many have taken In band to set forth In
order a declaration of those things which are most surely be
lieved among us.
Even as they delivered them unto us. which from the
beginning were eyew itnesses, and ministers of the word;
It seemed good to me also, having had perfect under
stand lag of all things from the very first, to write unto thee In
order, most excellent Theophilus.
You will not that he does not criticize the accounts al
ready written but observes merely th at he does not find
theni adapted to Theophilus.
fie did not claim to have
been, and in fact was not, an original disciple, but he said
th a t he had enjoyed exceptional opportunities for hearing
the story from reliable men who had first-hand knowledge.
These are perfectly straightforw ard reasons for writing a
hook and they furnish a pleasing introduction both to the
Good News as Luke wrote it and to th a t later book, partly
compiled from his own experiences as a companion of Paul,
the Acts.
Luke did not care a fig about quotations from the Old
T estam ent which might be very convincing to a Jew, for
Theophilus was not a Jew. Hut he did tell of the Good
Sam aritan, and of the Prodigal Son, and some other exalted
stories of the appreciation of Jesus for folks beyond the
narrow walls of Judaism. M atthew never could have writ
ten this book any more than Luke could have written
M atthew ’s.
One other fact is significant about the third Gospel, in
some way the writer got hold of a fresh source of inform a
tion about the women of th at early Jerusalem community.
Who told him and what was told we can only guess, but the
tact Is clear th at Luke knew more and tells more about the
women who were friends of Jesus than any of the other
writers. T hat element gives an added quality of fineness
to his hook, which is probably the most beautiful book in
the world.
Years later, in Ephesus, where Greek philosophy had
tinged the thought and vocabulary of all educated people, a
man named John wrote another story of Jesus. It Is hardly
the ilfe-story; rather Is it an interpretation, and a very
fine one. We should have lost some of the most beauti
ful sayings of Jesus of it were not for this fourth Gospel,
and one has only to read It through to understand why in
every age it has been so greatly loved.
