Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
A PORTLAND deputy sheriff baits
two automobile thieves, and Is
shot down. The thieves, after shoot
ing the officer, make their escape.
READING this In our newspapers,
we heave a sigh of apprehension
and say to ourselves: 'What la this
modern world coming to! Isnt it
terrible how crime Is spreading?"
IT IS terrible, of course. Crime Is
always terrible.
- But here Is the point: Crime isn't
any more terrible now than It has
always been, nor Is it any more
prevalent, In all probability."
If we had figures running back for
a thousand years, which we HA VENT,
these figures would probably show
, us that In proportion to the popula
tion there Is no more crime now than
In the past.
"B
UT," you Bay,, "these fellowa who
killed thla Portland deputy
eherlff were YOUNG men. Surely
you'll have to admit that more young
men are committing; Crimea now than
ever before.
CAIN was a young man, wasn't he,
when he killed his brother Abel?
ALEXANDER was a young man
when he set out from Macedon
to conquer the world.
He was Just barely past his twenties
when, after having conquered what
In those days of Inadequate knowl
edge passed aa the world, he drank
himself to death.
YOU may protest that Alexander
the Oreat was not a criminal.
Let's see about that. When he set
out upon his world-conquering en
terprise, the HUMAN MIND, for the
first time In the history of the world,
was just beginning to assert itself In
Greece.
Under the patronage of Philip,
Alexander's father, Aristotle, whom
we know as the father of science, had
Just begun to make .real progress
with what we know now as the sci
entific method that Is, he was Just
beginning to go out and organize
facts.
Literature, art and science were
advancing rapidly.
ALEXANDER'S conquest turned the
thought of the world from lit
erature, art and science back to war
and bloodshed and destruction and
gave a definite check to the activities
of the human mind which were get
ting such a notable start in Greece.
If that wasn't crime, WHAT IS
crime?
THERE la a definite school of
thought which insists that the
world is growing steadily worse that
the only truly GOLDEN daya were
the good old daya of the past.
This writer, who is an Incurable
optimist, has no patience with that
gloomy school of thought. The world
ISN'T getting worse.
It la growing steadily better,
THERE isn't any more crime In the
world, In proportion to popula
tion, than there always has been, and
criminals are NO YOUNGER now, on
the average, than criminals always
have been.
Because of better facilities for the
transmission of news, we. merely
HEAR MORE of what Is going on
than waa heard In the past, and so
we Jump at conclusions.
In this writer's opinion, they are
WRONG conclusions.
DESCHUTES and Lake counties, in
Eastern Oregon, protest against
the spending of POUR OR FIVE MIL
LION dollara to build a THIRD road
from Portland to the beaches when
there are already TWO good roads,
both of them paved.
These counties Insist that before

TO RALLY FORCES
FOR HOOVER
Coolidge Proposal for Solid
Front in Support of Presi
dent Centers Interest of
Republican Party Heads
By Francis M. Stephenson
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 (AP)
The proposal of Calvin Coolidge for
"a solid front In support of the presi
dent" Is to be the hub about which
republican organization leaders will
rally their forces for renomlnatlon
of Herbert Hoover.
The veteran party pilots for the
most part accept Mr. Coolldge's copy
righted article in the Saturday Eve
ning Post disclaiming any Interest In
his immediate return to the presi
dency as definitely eliminating him
from -next year's political race.
But the appeal of the former presi
dent for "party loyalty" Is viewed
with less warmth among republican
independents of the northwest who
have opposed some of the major
Hoover policies.
Brook hart Balks
Senator Brookhart, republican, of
Iowa, called for a "progressive pro
gram and a progressive candidate,"
after reading the Coolidge article. He
mentioned as possible candidates
Senators Borah of Idaho; Norrls of
Nebraska; Johnson of California; La
Follette of Wisconsin, and Governor
Plnchot of Pennsylvania.
Also, there were a few in the re
publican congressional fold of regu
lars who kept their silence on the
Coolidge declaration. They Intimated
privately their belief that the former
president must not yet be counted
out of the 1932 contest.
However, republican stalwarts such
as Senator Watson of Indiana, the
floor leader; Senator Fess of Ohio,
the national chairman; and Repre
sentative Wood of Indiana, chairman
of the appropriations committee,
looked back over 80 years of political
history and reflected that It was the
thing for Mr. Coolidge to do and the
thing for the party to do now was to
renominate Herbert Hoover.
Mr. Coolidge in his article said, in
part:
Implication Considered
"Those who are suggesting, under
the present disturbed conditions In
ourcountry and in the world, that a
former president should use his
prestige to attempt to secure a nomi
nation against a president of his own
party, probably have not stopped to
consider fully what would be implied
by such a course. .

to death Monday night when he

ing two youths.
But as further evidence was un
covered, police declared, It all tended
to link Ernest F. Newell, 10, with
the case. Newell has served two
terms In the state reformatory and a
Jail term here for theft of automo
biles. The discovery of a sweater and a
cap in a woodpile Just a mile from
the place where Leonhardt was shot
to death, resulted in declarations of
acquaintances that these belonged to

content Want Change
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 (AP)
Jouett Shouse, chairman of the
Democratic national executive com
mittee, today reiterated his belief
that the Democrats would organise
the next congress.
He said in a statement that the
result in the seventh Missouri dis
trict where Robert D. Johnson was
elected yesterday was "but another
evidence of the discontent of the
people with the rule of the Republi
can party and of the nation-wide
determination to rebuke that party
which has made so continuously
the boast of enduring prosperity
under its rule."
"The result speaks for Itself," he
said. "It gives an adequate reflex
on the agricultural west toward
the Republican party as at present
constituted and directed."
Flections Hold Key.
Six special elections In five states
hold the key to control of the next
house, although death again may
intervene.
Selection of Johnson In Missouri
again threw the house membership
into a deadlock, barely 60 days be
fore congress convenes.
Each party now has 314 members
as compared with 218 Republicans
and 218 democrats after the No

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 30.
To show you what our amart
men know, they led ui to be
lieve that the world was com
ing to an end when England
lost her gold standard. Now
we come to find out that things
are picking up on what they
thought was a calamity. Other
nations are going to silver vol
untarily. Sure, use silver for
money, use as many things as
you can for money and the
the more trading and business
will be done. Astor made a for
tune trading chewing tobacco
for skunk skins. Poor Bryan,
he ran for1 president just 35
years too soon.
