The Roy Scouts' fife and drum corps were present and furnished music, and altogether the caravan was quito an affair.

PIERCE Petitions, seeking a sDeclal elec - tions for the recall of Governor Fierce, are exDected to hP nl,! in circulation within the coming ten days, according to members of the Ku Klux Klan high in authority within that organizationo. While no petitions are actually in circulation, the form has been prepared for printing and one typewritten petition has actually been signed, containing the names of a number of klansmen. Formal approval of the movement by Fred L. Gifford, grand dragon of the Oregon Wan, is the only step now needed to place the entiro program in motion, according to Lem A. Dever, publicity manager for the klan and editor o the Western American. Sentiment toward, the re call, he explains, crystallized during Mr. Gifford's absence from the state, and all of the preliminary work has been completed, ready for the grand dragon's formal action. "We have been, and still are at tempting to determine all of the sen timent of tho members of the klan throughout the state," Mr. Dever ex plained. Mr. Gifford, who returned to the city yesterday, declined to discuss tho situation. It was explained at his office that ho was not in close touch with tho conditions here and that developments had taken place during tho last few weeks with which he was only generally famil iar. He could not make any state ment upon the recall or tho prob able action of the klan until ho had the opportunity fully to investigate conditions, it was said. It is intimated that if tho formal approval to the recall is given, the klan, not as individuals, but as a functioning organization, will back tho project. Discontent over the ap pointments made by Governor Pierce is vie wed as oreo of the basic reasons for tho recall movement. The peti tions, as drafted, cite tho governor for "general inefficiency and incom petency and his persistent efforts to build up a partisan machine." It is regarded as certain, klan of ficials said, that if the charge that tho governor is attempting to "build up a partisan organization" can be proved to the satisfaction of the klan grand dragon, the recall will be launched without delay. They de clare, however, that tho invisible em- j pire has asked no favors of the chief executive, but that they are not sat isfied wi-.h his distribution of pat ronage. They declare that he has f.uh,t, jn hjs ,...,,,,,.: nmmisra t0 divide liin political appointments equally between democrats and re publicans. They state further that he has completely failed to make good upon his promises to reduce the tux burden. Charges that tho governor has failed in his promises upon the en forcement ol the prohibition statutes are hinted as an aid to the campaign for his removal. Klan officials are not pleased, It develops, with the ap pointment of George L. Cleaver as prohibition director under the new state statute. They declare that in addition to failure to rigidly prose cute tho duties of the newly created office, that Cleaver and the governor have been giving considerable time to the furtherance of projects in which they bear a personal interest. A republican candidate for the of fice of governor on the recall ticket is being sought and It is expected that eGorgo M. Brown, supreme court justice, will be approached for the acceptance of the candidacy. Klan officials, following the elec tion of Pierce, maintained that the influence o fthe invisible empise was responsible for his success. Yester day they mainlined the same thing, b;:' declared that the klan was go ing to back the movement for s re call to "repair the damage and take iv lot of broken democratic war horses out of office and install some effecient and competen. men."

MASOXIC HOME TO BE ENLARGED Enlargement of the Masonic and Eastern Star home on Base Line highway, west of Hillsboro, has al- ! reauy oecome necessary ana an ?su,- ' 000 unit addition to the west winS ls aireaay unuer way, in cnarge of Stebinger Bros., contractors, of Port land.

ROGER BATESON sat with his father-in-law in the living room after the child had put away his toys and gone to bed. "I tell you, that's a mighty cute young ster of mine, if I say it myself," said Roger. "Did I ever show you this lit- ' 'e book? I've written down a few of his clever savings In It," he added with an apologetic air. He opened it and began to read: "When the kid was only two he had the first glimmerings of the big human problem. He said, 'Where do mans go when they die?'" "Now, that's unus ual in a child of that age, Mr. Jeffreys." He went on reading : "Oh, Just listen to tills: He was told not to suck his thumb. 'I'm not sucking It, Daddy, I'm scrubbing It.' " "Mighty smart boy that, what?" "He's a wonder," said Roger's father-in-law enthusiastically. "He'll be a great man some day." There was a pause. "Do you know," said Roger, "sometimes I think what's the use of It all? What difference will It make In a hundred years whether the kid lives to be President or be comes a congenital ldot?" "Of course I know your views, Rog er " Jeffreys began. "On Immortality? Well, aren't they the views of nine intelligent men out of ten?" "I can only speak for myself, Roger. I've always looked on life as a sort of probationary school " "I'd like to think that, too. But the evidence ls all against you, Mr. Jef freys." 'Toil think everything in human life counts for nothing, Is simply blotted out?" "Absolutely. Thought, emotions, the art of the greatest sculptor, the finest poetry are simply by-products of mo lecular action In the brain." Mr. Jeffreys shook his head. It was no use arguing with his son-in-law when he got onto that topic. 'Tint I'd hate to think, Roger," he said, "thnt the love which you feel for that boy means nothing In the eternal scheme of things." "There ls no eternal scheme," Roger returned. The old man was restless thnt night. He opened his desk and turned over a few cherished possessions of years back. Here were the love letters Amy had sent him when they were engaged. Here were his daughter's first letters to him. And here He opened a very old book, with faded writing, rusty-brown, nnd read : "Baby Is three years old today. He ls such n dear boy. He Is so affec tionate to me, and I think he ls going to be a great man when he grows up. God grant that he may be a good man, whatever else he ls." And again, a few pages further on: "Baby came to me today and asked the where God lived. I tried to tell him. He wanted to know why God let Aunt Anna burn her hand. What could I tell him? He was up against tho old problem of the exlsteuce of evil that perplexes everybody." Old Jeffreys shut the book with a snap. He did not often look Into It Those lines had been written by his own mother about himself, seventy years before. He thought somberly of all those hopes that had crumbled away. He bad ueiQier becj good uor great, only an ordinary rnitft. And here was Roger repeating the eternal human story, but without the faith that hnd sustained his mother. It was pitiful ; and. If Roger's be liefs, or, rather, unbeliefs were trne. It was damnable, a hitter mockery. Softly the old mnn went Into the room where the child slept. He lay. his head upon his arm, smiling a little in his sleep. They were devoted to each other the two alternate genera tions. Was It possible that all that love, all those aspirations, did not count In the scheme of things? Had his mother lived and died In vain, and would he, too and Roger and the child, when he grew to man hood? No, It counted, all of It. Nothing was lost. Roger was wrong. He glanced a moment longer at the sl.vplng child mid went back to hl. room. A The Faith in Life I Br MYRA CURTIS LANE j CECIL 'I j J 1.
