The Case of Asa Keyes
OUR COURTS, backed by police power, form the corner stone
of our civilization. Eemove them and we sink back into
barbarism. Undermine them by bribery or corruption, and we
return to the jungle. We like to think of what we term civili
zation a something lasting and permanent. But it isn't. It is
no stronger than the courts and the police power which sub
tain it.
e e e
ASA KKTES, as District Attorney, was the official represen
tative of the courts and police power of Los Angeles coun
ty. He was convicted of selling out to the forces of crime and
corruption, a bribe taker, a perjurer and a crook. Ho was
sentenced to from one to 14 years at San Quentin.
Testerday after 14 months, he was released on parole, and
will become an automobile salesman in the community which a
little over a year ago, he shamelessly betrayed.
As a private citizen engaged in business, he will receive that
police and legal' protection, which he not only refused to allow,
but for the refusal of which he received anywhere from fifty
to three hundred thousand dollars.
o
WE HAVE never heard Mr. Keyes make any offer to restore
his ill gotten gains. We have never heard him make any
publio expression of regret for his betrayal.
Asa has made his pi'.e. He has taken his "rap." As far as
he is conoerned, and as far as the county of Los Angeles is con
cerned, the incident is closed.
THE situation merely shows how blind we are to the dangers
which confront us in times of peace; how inadequate are
our laws to make tbe punishment fit the crime.
We mention "in time of peace," because had Asa Keyes done
what he did in time of war he would have been immediately
shot as a traitor. In the stress of war, the man who sails out to
the enemy, is immediately recognized as a greater menace t
his country than an "enemy army corps."
But in time of .peace he is just another "crook."
We utterly fail to realize that a patriotism of peace is only
second in importance to a patriotism of warj that this growing
orime wave represents a danger to this country from WITHIN,
almost as serious, as a hostile army bent on conquest from
WITHOUT.
So we send out Major Andres to the firing squad and we
let our Asa Keyes out of jail in 14 months 1
Wasting State Road Money
SO THE shortcut "speedway" from Portland to the coust is to
be immediately surveyed. And a second speedway is to be
considered. v
THIS decision by the state highway commission, wag appar
ently reached .because Multnomah county and Portland
have contributed "nearly half of tho highway funds and re
ceived less than one-sixth of the benefits." So the taxpayers
up there have something coming to therm
Whether or not the proportion is correct, wo don't know.
But for the sake of argument lot's assume it is.
..
CARRYING this assumption to its logical conclusion, what do
we find! Each section of the state receives new highway
construction in proportion to its contribution to the highway
fund.
As nearly hajf of the population and more than half of the
wealth of Oregon is concentrated in Portland and Multnomah,
(his means that the highway commission will be building roads
within Portland's immediate trading area FOR THE NEXT
DECADE 1
a
WHAT a farael As the one metropolis of the state, with
every road leading to it, Portland benefits directly from
overy'permaneut highway constructed in the state. The more
comprehensive the ENTIRE state system tho better for the EN
TIRE state and the better for PORTLAND.
As we see it, Portland no more needs another speedway to
the beaches than a dog needs five legs. It may help the beach
concessions but it won't help Portland.
BUT Portland DOES need broader and bettor highways from
every direction, from Salem, from Eugene, from Hood
River and Bend, from Prineville, La Grande, from Mcdford and
Ashland, from EVERTWHERE, north, south, east and west.
In fact, if Portland contributed all of the highway fund, it
could do nothing more absurd than spend it all in Multnomah
and leave the rest of tbe state in the dust and mud.
What Portland needs and what all the state needs, is the best
and most comprehensive system of highways possible FOR THE
ENTIRE STATE ,
INSTEAD of putting the first money into another beach
speedway, the' first money should be spent to finish the in
completed portions of the state system and improve the chief
artery of that system, the Paoifio Highway.
When this is done, and not UNTIL then, should the tax
payers' money be spent merely to make it possible for some
Portland Week Ender to go to his coast summer home, in three
and a halt hours, instead of four 1

REPETITIOUS Pl.AY
By Alice Judaon Feale.
Thoughtful mothers often wonder
what they can do io enrich and vary
their ohildren's play.
Almost any child or group of chil
dren now and again get Into a rut,
when their play Is monotonously the
same day after day.
The same doll Is taken out and
wheeled up and down the walk. The
same dramatisation of some family
situation Is gone over again and again.
The outdoor play apparatus Is twd
only In a few stereotyped weye.
It la well to bear In mind, how
ever, that much repetition Is entire
ly natural with very young children.
and should not be regarded aa an
Indication that they are not making
the moat of their time.
Yet, even with young children. It Is
good to stimulate new kinds of play.
so long aa care I taken not to force
K. Here are some helps to this end:
Rearrange outdoor play materials,
such as the slide, tablea, chairs, boxes
and saw-horses, so that they wlU sug
gest new uses. Often a slight change
Is sufficient to start a whole succes
sion of new activities.
Rearrange the nurssry toy shelves,
eliminating play materials whose, pos
sibilities yo- believe to be thoroughly
exhausted. Put toys which have not
been much used In a prominent place
where they will catch the child's eye.
Introduce new play material. Small
chairs, a table and some dishes will
cause a group of little girls who have
been simply putting their babies to
bed and getting them up again to
work out all sorts of new Ideas along
the lines In which they are already

troduction of Just one new child Into
a group results In an entirely differ

Columbus and His Day

Columbus was honored yes
terday, in memory of that day
in fourteen hundred and ninety
two when he sailed the ocean
blue, financed by then Catholic
majesties, Ferdinand and Isa
bella. He wasn't looking for any
''America," but expected to
find his way to Cipangu, or Ja
pan, and open intercourse with
the grand Khan of Cathay, to
whom he had a-letter from the
Spanish king. No one wanted
to sail on Columbus' ships, at
first, not even hardened crimi
nals, to whom pardon was of
fered. They believed they would sail
a certain distance and then fall
"over the edge of the ocean."
The fate of Columbus re
minds you that the fate of the
great is uncertain,
Received with glory on his
return, Columbus "rode at the
king's bridle," displayed his
parrot, gold, strange weapons,
ana Indians that he had
brought to be baptised." He
saw both sides of the medal of
life. .
From one of his trips his two
brothers and himself were brought
back prisoners and manacled. He
kept the Irons that he bad worn as
long as he lived to remind htm "as
memorials of the reward for his serv
ices." Columbus, probably born In Genoa,
whloh makes him an Italian, Is said
,to have been of Jewish descent. His
ancestors wsre driven out of Portugal
for religious reasons and compelled
to adopt Christianity for safety's sake.
. Whatever he was or did. he would
be aurprlsed to see now the America
that he discovered.
Columbus Day was made Interest
ing by a threat from Chiang Kai-
Shek that he would declare war on
Japan If the League of Nations didn't
do something.- The League of Nations
will talk, but probably not do any
thing, whereas Japan will do some
thing, and has done things already.
China's danger Is bringing together
the north and the south. Both may
be united against Japan.
Qandhl, who has kind heart, says
he Is enduring the round table slow
ness because "I cannot hold a black
jack over England's head now while
she Is tottering and gouge India's
freedom out of her."
England will not like that word
"tottering," not called for yet.
But she should appreciate Qandht'e
forbearance. To have serious trouble
In India would be painful.
' Not all Asiatics are like Oandhl.
The Japaness, for Instance, believe
that the time to go after a thing
ts when you can get it. Japan Is
holding a blackjack over- China's
head, while China la "tottering." Sim
ilarly the Irish got their Free State
status from tbe British when the war
made refusal difficult.
Marconi, unusual dreamer, who
makes reality - of dreams, expects
"momentous discoveries" Including
the great problem, "What Is the
world made of?"
There Is, Marconi bellevea, only one
kind of matter, that takes different
forms. The dream of the alchemist
could have been made reality If they
knew how to go about It.
Some great philosophers worry be
cause matter, the earth. Its) moun
tains, our own bodies, art only a
collection of atoms, made up of elec
trons, particles of electricity, nothing
real.
Bishop Bsrkeley, two hundred years
ago, declared that the world had no
existence, except In men's minds.
But we worry needlessly. Ice Is
solid, you can skate on It at a cer
tain temperature. When It la warmer
and liquid you can swim la It and
sail over It, SUU warmer. It becomes
vapor. In whloh you can tiki a steam
bath, and still hotter It will scald
you to death.
All this doeeTnot msan that Ice,
water or steam, Is useless, or unreal,
or that ws need worry about trans

The earth Is solid enough now,
bridges carry toads, cranes lift their

SWEETS FOR
How much sugar Is good for a per
son? aska my Iowa reader. Might as
well ask which I'd rather do or go
fishing. But the lad goea on to com
plain bitterly
that b I s wife
can't enjoy cof
fee, b r e a kfaat
food, sauce and
.such things
without simply
covering It with
sugar. Why she
uses three or
four spoonfuls of
sugar to the cup
of coffee, and so
on up. What wlU
be the result of such Indulgence?
Lord knows she's welcome ta all the
sugar ahe wants If It Is good for her,
but that seems too much to be
healthful She Is 37 and the mother
of three heslthy kids. Finally, the
young fella glvea us a pat on the
back be reads this column every
night except Sundays and holidays
and gets a big kick out of It, besides
a lot of moral support for his crazy
Ideas about raising kids.
I suspect my Iowa reader moved
out there from Vermont, where
they're aa tight as anywhere this side
of Scotland. With eugar as low as It
Is today a rnon shouldn't begrudge
his wife a couple extra spoonful of
It In her berries.
In a general way, an active young
person like that ought to take all the
sugar ahe likes In or on her food
or In the form of candy. Ice cream
and other delectables. She can burn
kit, all right, chasing those three kids
around and keeping 'em In good or
der and as good odor, as possible. Not
to mention rustling' three square
meals a day for her boy friend.
Children and active young people,
people who work or play hard every
day, should use sugar freely If they
like It or like sweet things. It Is
the best of energy foods the finest
fuel to put vim, vigor and vitality
Into the consumer. Athletes, moun
tain climbers, marathon : runners,
msn who do strenuous labor, all know
that sugar In any form la the very
best emergency ration when one Is
spent, utterly fatigued, approaching
exhaustion or collapse. Sugar In tea,
a lump of milk chocolate, the na
tural sugar In a drink of orange Juice
or tbe natural sugar In a glass , of
milk, or the cane sugar In any of a
score of soda fountain beverages, or
a piece of candy carried In the pock
et. It doesnt matter whether you de
pend on soms raisins, gumdrops or a
banana for your emergency ration, It
tides you over -Just the same.
Sedate, quiet, dignified, elderly folk
ought to go easy with 'the sugar.
Those of us who live by our wits and
manage to shirk all honest work and
dodge all active play, muse be ab
stemious in the consumption of sug
ar in any form. A sweet tooth Is a
grave handicap for a sedentary Indi
vidual It leads many a victim
straight Into dlabetea.
Even a thirty-five year old' youth
who la much too stout must shun
predicts we ahall one day erect a
statue to Lenin, and adds: "Your
President, who became famous by
feeding devastated Europe In war, con
not feed nia own people In time of
peace." '
Even Mr. Shaw should know that
our President Is not supposed to feed
"his people." They feed themselves
and will continue doing so.
Mr. Shaw, rejoicing In what he calls
Russia's prosperity, discovers that
"God Is well pleased with Russia,
while His wrath la heavy on us.''
Russia haa done wonders thus far
with her plan, by working hard, tak
ing little, unlike Shaw. But her
people still live on black bread and
bean soup, while revolutionary en
thusiasm carries them along.

THE SWEET.
all sweets In any degree of profusion.
Of course everybody, even a person
with diabetes, must take some sugar.
But stout folk had better curb any
special craving for sweets.
There Is no svldence at all to sup
port the ancient theory that much
augar or sweet food wss bad for the
teeth of a child. We know now that
such food Is as good for the teeth
aa It Is for the heart muscle or the
muscles of ttie legs and arms.
So I should advise my Iowa reader
not to worry about tbe girl friend's
fondness for sugar, as long as ahe
doesn't get too fat to love.

Children Thrive on Cod Uver Oil

with the most terrible colds every
winter. Three years ago I read In
your column about cod liver oil and
Its high vitamin value and began giv
ing It to him. It has made him heal
thy and strong. Last winter be had
only one slight cold, and he plays

We have been giving our a year old
son cod Uver oil since he was 1 weeks
old, and he has never required doctor
or medicine since he waa born. Now
you know how muoh we appreciate
your teachings. (Mrs. O. J.)

In the Brady Baby Book (send a dime
and a stamped envelope bearing your
aaoress and ask for it), should re
ceive a regular dally ration of cod

Diathermy for Adenoids Too
Is the diathermy method of extir
pating tonsils, which seems to he so
popular, available In the removal of
adenoids? (Miss E. T.)
Answer Yes, a physician skilled In
the technic can as readily remove
adenoids. Of course It la not suitable
for young children, because they are
too difficult to manage and will not
give the physician the necessary co
operation. .

I love her and I want her."
"I see," Peak smiled. "Well, I
love her and want her, too, Munson,
so that's one point on which we
both think alike."
They were silent for a time, look
Ing at each other. Then Peak said:
"Well, let's hear the story."
"What story?".
"Yours and Sam's. I don't kndw
say of the details, remember, and
It we're to get anywhere In this dis
cussion, I'll have to know them."
Freddy told the story. He told It
briefly but with such simnle con-

Only to Columbus It meant so very,

shook his head. "And so you see.

brother of hers hadn't butted In,'
she'd be married to me, now, and,
there wouldn't be any need of alii
this." '.'..
Peak nodded thoughtfully.' "But
the confounded step-brother did
butt In, Munson."
Freddy made a gesture of despair.
"That's Just what I've been trying
to tell you!"
Peak shrugged and was silent for
o long that at last Freddy's Impa
tience got the better of him. "Well,"
he demanded sharply, "what are you
going to do?"
"Do?" Peak looked up inquiringly.
"What do you suggest that I do?'
"Tell Sam that you know all
about everything. Give her a chance
to get herself out of this mess."
Peak frowned. "Yotf must remem
ber, Munson, that Sam got herself
into what you call this mess, en
tirely of her own free will."
"Free will?" Freddy repeated.
"She was forced into it because she
needs money so badly."
Peak tapped the top of his desk.
"Suppose I let her go as you sug
gest," he said softly. "Would her
financial problems be any less seri
ous than they were before?"

"Perhaps not, but at least shi
wouldn't be tied to someone stM
doesn't love."
Peak glanced at Freddy. "Could
you help her financially, Munson?'
"You know I couldn't" Freddj
snorted. "What's the sense to tbal
remark t"
"I'm Just wondering," replied
Peak slowly, "what is best for Sam.
Would she be happier married to
you, and as poor if not poorer than
ever, or would it be better If she
had me, whom she might not love,
but who could give her every ma
terial comfort?" He nodded. "I think
that there is a problem that re
quires consideration."
Freddy choked. "Why yon
"No scene, please!" begged Peak
earnestly. "I'm talking sense, and
it you're wise, you'll listen."
"All right" Freddy controlled
himself with an effort 'Til listen."
"Good. Then you can believe it or
not Munson, but the fact remains
that I'm thinking only ot Sam. To
be frank with you, I'm not at all
convinced that In the long run she'd
b happier with you than with me."
"All right, then," Bald Freddy
fiercely, "leave me out of it alto
gether! I'm willing to get ont of
here and never come back, it you,
in your turn, are willing to let Sam
go."
"If we both left her, she wouldn't
have one thing or the other com
fort or romance,"
"Then what shall we do?" Freddy
Inquired sarcastically. "Shall we
flip a coin to see who gets her?"
"It seems to me," said Peak
gently, "that we've forgotten one
Important thing. We've forgotten
that you and I really have no voice
In the matter. Tbe decision rests
entirely with Sam whether she'll
have you or me. Unless I'm mis
taken, she has already made that
decision."
Freddy was pale. "Admirable
logic! I'm asking you now whether
you are going to let her stick to a
decision that will wreck her life."
