the popular author demanded of his
iiiacliiiie. "Was it not just infatua
tion?" And what was going to ltflppon next?
He must bring in a third man some
how, lint who? How? Where? 'i'lie
popular author's fingers fell from the
key The plot refused to come.
He looked up angrily as the door j
opened. - ;

"I'm sure I don't wish to Je a
nuisance to you, Eric," said Daisy,
"but, unless you're prepared to go
without meat for supper somebody's
got to go to the butcher's. I can't,
unless you want the pie to be
scorched." 1
"D n the butcher!" said Eric
viciously.
"Well, that's the limit," answered
Daisy. "That's the first time you've
sworn at me, you monster."
"I didn't swear at you, I swore at
the butcher."
"Oh, yes, you may have some par
ticle of decent feeling left in you,
but it isn't enough for me. I'm going
home to mother, and you can let your
old p-pie b-burn," sobbed Daisy, giv
ing file door one of those peculiar
slams that impart the greatest amount
of sound and vibration and the mini
mum of damage.
Tlie popular author gritted ids teeth
and leaped at his typewriter again.
.
"Willi such consuming passion. She
had turned into a fiend, a slave-driver.
She had no consideration for his work
at all. And now she was going home
to her mother.
"He knew that lie was glad, lie had
grown tired of her. Her presence
drove him mad. He loved her no
longer.
Was there another man? lie was
sure of it. He kww that she was
pulling the wool over his eyes, but
he laughed inwardly. Lei her go let
her go forever.
She came into the room. "Have you
anything to say to me. monster, before
we ) part for all time?" she demanded.
"Only that I'll be glad to see the
last of you," he answered. "Don't
trouble to come back. I'm sailing for
I'aris tomorrow."
"What are you going to do in
I'aris?" she queried insolently.
"Forget that you ever existed in
(lie smiles of the beauties of the Gay
City," he replied.
"Wretch, that insult constitutes the
last word !" she cried, and slammed
the door. It was one of those peculiar
slams that impart the greatest umount
of sound ami vi
"
The door opened. Daisy came soft
ly in mid glided up to the popular
author's desk.
"I've telephoned for the' meat from
Mrs. Higginson's," she said, "and
I'm sorry, dearest. I know I have
been horrid to you, but I get so nerv
ous with the housework. Won't you
forgive me?"
The popular author tv.rned from his
machine. He caught D-iisy in his arms
and act her down on I is knee. They
kissed each other. 'J'h y were very
happy.
"I suppose I'll have to go or the
pie will burn," said Daisy. "But we
mustn't have any more quarrels, must
we, darling?"
"Never again," answered the popu
lar author.
"How are you getting 0:1 with your
story, darling?"
"Oh, fairly well." the popular au
thor answered. 'Tve just got to
change the end a little"
When the door had closed softly
behind her the popular author leaped
like a demon at the typewriter.
f "Forget that you ever existed In
the smiles of the beauties of the Gay
City," he replied.
She sank, half swooning, at his feet.
"Oh, I yin't bear it," she pleaded.
"Forgive me, and I'll never make you
angry again. Take me back, or I shall
die '."
He mixed her in his arms and put
Ifer down on his knee. "Darling. I wa

but you."

Active stpps are being takrn by
opponents of the so-called compulsory
education bill, which will he on the
November ballot, to inform the voters
of their reasons why this propot-rd '.aw

Schools Committee for Freedom in
Education. W. L. Brewster, ex-city
commissioner, anil at present a mem
ber of the Portland library board, is
the chairman. Joseph A. Hill, prin
cipal of the Hill Military academy,
Portland, an old established non-sectarian
school for boys, is executive
secretary.
That the proposed bill is causing
widespread interest throughout ' the
entire United States and that it is
drawing comment from the country's
foremost educators, none of whom,
thus far, has been favorable to its pro
visions, is the declaration of Mr. Hill.
.Adverse criticism has been receiv
ed from Nicholas Murray Butler, presi
dent of Columbia university, who con
cluded his letter by saying:
"This bill should be entitled 'A bill
to make impossible the American
system of education in Oregon.' It is
fundamentally un-American in its prin
ciple and purpose and should be over
whelmingly defeated."
"The task of educating all the chil
dren of America is great enough to
make right thinking men welcome the
co-operation of every proper private
and public effort to this end," com
ments Robert E. Vinson, president of
the University of Texas.
Harry Pratt Judson, president of
the University of Chicago, says he
believes the proposed law would "vio
late fundamental r(ights of American
citizens with regard to the education
of their children."
"It certainly looks like an attempt
to give the majority of the people a
dangerous power to restrict the dif
fusion of truth which it wishes to
suppress," is the way Arthur Had
ley, president of Yaie university, sizes
up the bill's provisions.
"These comments are by unpreju
diced men of the highest standing,
who have no Interest other than the
public interest," naid Mr. Hill. "It
is a good sideligh on the local sit
uation from unbiased sources."

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiw
Nothing is so vital to industry of every
character as money.
And one of the main functions of this bank
is to see that legitimate industry has a prop
er supply of funds to keep the wheels turn
ing. Many a prosperous business has been
dwarfted in its growth because of the need
of a ready supply of money at the needed
time.
The establishment of proper banking con
nections is therefore vital to your prosperity
and growth.

State Monopoly of Schools would cost
Ill taxes
Over $1,000,000 year for operation
Over $3,000,000 for buildings and grounds
'THE first cost of state monopoly of schools
J-Would be something over three million
dollars for new buildings and grounds. We
would have to pay a yearly tax of over one
million dollars for operation in addition to
what we are paying now. ;
They propose that Oregonians pay this bill
for "Real Americanism." But it is not Amer
icanism to take away the right of the parent
to control Jhje education of the child.
' They propose that we pay t'-t!" h-"o "Compulsory
School." But v.j actually h. . . .'ry school right
now under the r. resent law.
, Be not deceived What this burden of added taxes will
go for is an experiment in education along communistic
.lines the substitution of state monopoly in education for
'parental guidance. Russia is trying this experiment
Let us profit by her failure. Let us maintain our democ
racy and save millions of dollars.
