To the Editor:
You "don't believe another
world war is inevitable." Well,
maybe -not,- but I'm" -nrttter- In
clined to believe the Bible proph
ecies rather than any human sur
mises. Turn to your Bible, Reve
lation, 16, 10 (the whole chapter,
for that matter), also, Daniel 2,
all relating to Armageddon.
I do not believe in assuming
a pessimistic attitude nn this ques
tion, but I DO believe firmly, in
the exactitude of the great Bible
prophecies, und that oil this will
come, to pass in 1U own good time
not In our day, nor, probably
within the next few generations
but it Avlll inevitably , come. .
Our part in the great drama
is to do all in-out puwer,,afl a
nation, to fend off the evil day
aa long as possllier flrat by set,
ting our own house In order,
then, to tho best of our ability,
helping the other nations to do
likewise. And wo cannot do the
first so long as we do not wholly
reform our governmental ways, so
that the i'EOPl, B REALLY
HULK. ,
Perhaps you may remember an
old guy who called upon you In
your office a year or so ngo, and
wo had u little talk-feat on this
nublent: I advocating a short bal-
lot-rVery short cutting the elec
tive offices down to About seven,
nresldent. suurenm court Juatlco,
five representatives from each
slate; abolishment of One national
house (either the enato or house
of representatives) and let the
five delegates from each state ao
the work thug cutting down rep
resentation for the whole nation
and Its dependencies to about
members. . Jet the president ap
point all governors of states by
and with the advice and consent
of the respective stute delegations;
let the governor so appointed
name his cabinet and It in turn
make all subordinate stute ap
polntments In their retipoctlve de
partment. . Abollan ail state legis
latures and let the nutlonal dele
gatlona, in the "off-year period"
go .home and legislate for their
resoactive constituencies. -
Looks pretty radical, doesn't it?
Well, believe me, we shnll have
to come to Just that, it we aro
to survive as a nation. Uepre
tentative government, aa now
nractlced. is tho HUNK. Wo Voters
ore. no more competent 10 wisely
choose our governors, state and
national representatives than iSi
a kid, lost in a wilderness, able
to choose the right rond home.
But,, hy reducing membership in
our highest governing body, and
thereby raising tho standard we
ehall be able to stride along In
tho tight direction, rather than
shurfle along In the wrong one.
Just think back a few years pt
the misfits we have had In Ore
gon in our governors, our state
representatives, and especially our
locnl office-holders. Doosu't U
make you Blck? When you cast
your vote, even In a local elec
tion, how often do you "foozle?"
As smart a guy ns you,, a nav
paper man, "up to snuff 'V and all
that-: aren't you sometimes .rather
ashamed of the support- you've
given to some damn' rotten dub
who fell 'down . on his Job and
made a blnstcd mess of things.
Don't . lets kid ourselves that

no . more .Judgment about such

fellow 70 next birthday and I've
been watehlng all theso perform

I'm actually ashamed to go trfi

ten politician, foisted upon us by
11 bunch of political crooks that
lufest every county, state nnd na
tional heuduuui'tcts. and the pri
maries so nicely fixed that we
can't vole for somo really; O.OQl
man If we want to. Take just one
Instunce of the way "we the peo
ple" aro ' hooked" by the poli
ticians: All around us art stales
with an . automobile license tux of
three dollars; w aje paying from
fifteen dollars for .an old broken
down Ford to almost a hundred
for a really good oar. Whenever
this question ot reducing the tax
in brought up for a vote .hc
pollllclnna In the pay of truck
and bus companies Btart a howl
that we won't have any roads
unless we keep the high license.
We are paying about twice ns
much for what roads wo have as
most other states with a low li
cense lax and what have we?
Citing one horrible example:
Our "Roosevelt" highway sec

ONE lll'NDKKD THOUSAND

And so It goes. Who gets ull
this money, and to whom shall
wo look for a proper account
ing? Echo answers
What has become of that very
good nnd ne.-esiuy proposal to
have a cabinet form nt govern
ment for the slate, so that Jts
.business may be conducted along
the lines of liny Well regulated

the behest of a little bunch of
crooked politicians. . And so It
goes. Don't tell your Mailers'
thnt we are "getting ' better nnd;

HARRIET'S FINAL CLUE
HARRIET ; told Tony how'.Roy
Donovan, after abandoning her
and Pierre, had gone from bad to
worse until no producer would trust
lilra In any capacity. Then, It
items, he disappeared , from the
theatrical world, .t:
Why lie sent the boy, Bruce, to
Harriet, Is a mystery. Perhaps he
merely wished to rid himself of a
burden. Perhaps some trace of de
cency, or love for the lad's mother,
moved him to place the boy under
better influence. The boy himself
could give no clew, nor did he know
what had become of his stepfather.
Bruce Carey, even at this age,
was overbearing. Insolent and
without mercy when he set himself
to gain his own ends. But he
quickly learned that now, without
Ilia stepfather to support him, he
must exercise Judgment In his do
minion over his foster brother. So
be disciplined little Pierre In se
cret, and dared the smaller boy to
tell. -; '
On one occasion only there was
rebellion, sudden, decisive and dis
astrous, to the older boy, Bruce
taunted Pierre with a disparaging
remark about his fiotber. It was
as It he bad touched a match to
powder, and a stone flung wltb
savage intent by tbe furious Pierre
cut his bead open so successfully
that he was carried home uncon
sclous with his assailant following
In tears. ,
The year that Bruce was 14, Har
riet was 111 nearly all winter and
tbe vigorous, self-willed boy taxed
ber at times almost beyond her
strength. When Mr. Gordon, one
of our' village grocers, offered to
give Bruce a borne and belp him
to an education, the boy In return
to work In the store out of school
hours, Antonio Insisted that tbe
offer be accepted.
The rest which came with; tbe
elimination of Bruce enabled Har
riet to (Ally and, tor a while, she
seemed quite well and strong again.
But gradually her Illness returned
and as her vitality slipped away,
tbe spiritual side ot her nature be
came more evident.
' The companionship ot mother
and son became more Intimate and
understanding. Pierre could not,
ot course, realize as Tony did, tbe
full Import ot his mother's falling
strength, but tbe lad's sensitive na.
tare responded and he became In
creasingly thoughtful for her. Vaca
tion time came and they were to
gether constantly. :'
To ' Antonio, during those slow
months of her Illness, Harriet said
many thlugs hlch she could not
have mentioned under other circum
stances things which are too sa
cred for the old actor to whisper
even to himself.
But ot ber approaching death
Harriet Noel talked to her old
friend with amazing freedom
even with a smile. "You see," the
old actor explains, "she made nie

a little of the melodramatic.
"Our more ported scenes have
been those which we have played
with my little Pierre. They will
not ring the curtain down when I
apeak my exit line and leave the

In the scenes tosether following my

Harriet had made Antonio the
legal guardian ot ber son and ex
ecutor ot Iter will. She left in trust
a small sum, which by careful econ
omy she had saved, to be given to
Pierre when he reached the age ot
20 in order that he. might have
funds tor bis training In the the
ater. I -
Little Pierre wanted to live with'
Tony, but certain of the villagers
raised such a protest that Antuulo
feared they would have him de
clared by tbe court morally unfit to
act as the boy's guardian. When be.
recalls this the old actor laughs and;
says, "I was lucky' they did not
burn' me at tlie stake.'' So a home;
for Pierre was found with a child-'
less couple whose religion Orchard
Hill approved. "
"And now that his actress mother
Is gone," said Orchard Hill tri
umphantly, "and that horrid actor,
Antonio Latour, has touud that be
cannot do what he pleases with
her son, Pierre Donovan will have a
chance."
Old Tony chuckles, "There I was.
unanimously voted the most dis
reputable character Orchard Hill
hat1 ever produced their perennial
pr!?.e exhibit to prove the terrible
effect ot evil living and I might
have reminded them that I bad
been raised exactly as they pro
posed to raise Pierre. But I did
not. And the poor fools never
knew how fervently I thanked Ood
that Pierre could have such a good
home. The couple was a kindly
pair who had always wanted chil
dren. The man was a generous pro
vider and bis wife a most excellent
cook. As for my unholy Influence,
I was confident that Pierre and I
could manage somehow."
But the actress mother had Im
pressed herself too strongly upon
the sensitive nature of ber son for
the years to efface her Image. To
Pierre and his Father Tony her
presence continued as If, lndoed,
she : were In her own .words
standing In the wings. Increasing
ly dear to Pierre was his Father
Tony; Increasingly dear to tbe old
actor was the son ot tbe woman he
bad loved.
Many wonderful hours did An
ionic spend with Harriet's boy In
that little hillside retrer.t behind
the willows In the pasture and
many times In that sacred place did
they speak ot the things deep in
their hearts: of Pierre's mother and
her dreams, for him, of his training
tor tie stage, and of the.futjue
which was to place his name among
the truly great actors of his genera
tlon.
Old Tony says, "He was a hand
some youngster, tall and strong.
With his abundant physique, health
and energy, he loved life as ho
loved the theater. To him, life was
a glorious play and every person
an Interesting character acting a
part.
"He never wavered In his pur
pose to become a great actor nnd
hoarded his small savings to add
to the fund his mother had left In
trust tor his educatioa tor the
stage."
It was natural that young Pierre
should take a generous part In ams-'
teur dramatics, nnd in this he was
so like his' actress mother that
those who had known Harriet In
her girlhood whispered anew the,
sorry old scandals which had never
had other foundation than . the
imagination of little minds. V
"Poor Pierre." the villagers would
say with a doubtful shake of their
heads. "He's a nice boy. but he
can't never amount to much with
the start ha got from that actress
maw and that good-for-nothing old
actor, Tony Latour."
Because Orchard Hill was only n
small country village the relation
ship between Pierre and llnire
Carey continued almost as If they
lived under tbe same roof. When
ever an occasion arose the older
boy asserted his authority, nnd
while Pierre outgrew his childish
fear of the domineering Bruce, his
habit of yielding to hltn remained'.
This difference in the natures of
the two boys was most noticeable
to watchful Old Tony In the matter
ot their mutual interest In Ann
Bevis the little girl whom Pierre
at a very early age had decided ta
marry.
For long before their school days
wore over, Pierre and Bruce were
rivals for the favors of Ann.
