By FRANK JENKINS
CLARENCE WOOLERT, of Baker,
aged 14. slays the aged woman
who for five years had given him
a home. Hie excuse was that she
had reprimanded him when he was
lazy and careleaa In bis work.
Down in Oraas Valley, In Cali
fornia, ld-year-old John Weeka kills
his aged father, loads the body In
a truck, hauls It nine miles and
dumps It Into an abandoned mine
shaft.
It appears' that he had quarreled
with his father.
Op ALL the aad atorlea in the
papers here of late, and there
have been many of them. It seems
to this writer that these are the
saddest.
IP YOU are reasonable and tolerant
and fair that Is to say. If you
are a good citizen you will Bgree
that 'this Is the only question that
baa a bearing on the pardon of Tom
Mooney: "la he guilty, or isn't he?"
This writer, who has personal
doubt as to his guilt and would
like to .have aeen him pardoned,
concedes that Governor Rolph. who
gave long and careful study to the
evidence as carried In the record,
and who la a kindly man who would
undoubtedly rather pardon Mooney
than to deny him a pardon, must
believe Implicitly that Mooney is
-guilty.

a share on the New York exchange,
and many ownera of It get the blues
and think they are ruined.
But it contlnuta to PAY DIVI
DENDS at the rate of about nine
dollars per share.
INSTEAD of feeling that they are
ruined because of the low price
quoted on the atock exchange,
wouldn't It be wiser for the holders
of this stock to feel pleased because
their money la earning Interest at
the unusually good rate of nine per

IP YOU own stocks or bonds listed
on the exchanges, you know every
day, to the exact cent, what you
re worth, and when prices are de
clining, you feel extremely glum as
result.
If you own real estate, or a busi
ness, you DON'T know, in times such
as these, what you are worth, and
rf you are at all smart you pay -no
attention. You Just go ahead each
day doing aa well aa you know how
the taska that present themselves
on thst day to be done, leaving to
some more favorable time in the
future a decision as to the valuo of
what you own.
To that extent, you are better off
than those who own listed stocks
and bonds.
BUT you are 'probably tired 01
reading of crime and depression.
At any rate. this, writer is tired, for
this day at least, of writing on auch
subjects.
So let's have a change.
DID you ever hear of the Dutch
man's mine, on the North Ump
qua rsver one of the famous lost
mines of Oregon? The story of it. as
It has come down by word of mouth,
runs something like this:
Away back around 1875, three
Dutch miners appeared one day in
Roseburg. having come supposedly
from the wild North Umpqua
country.
The atory goes that they were
ilmply LOADED DOWN with gold.
THEY went to the bank there was
only one In Roseburg then and
old a considerable quantity of their
gold. Then they moved on north
to Cottage Grove, where they sold
more. Thereafter they appeared In
Eugene, where again they disposed
of gold.
At Eugene, they appear to have
turned again to the south, and were
heard of next in Grants Pass. And
In Grants Pass, as usual, they SOLD
OOLD.
Then they wandered on over to
Klamath Pslls. and when they got
there they still hsd plenty of gold
in their possession. Or so, at least,
the story runs.
UT at Klamath Ha'la they went
' to the bad. tangling up with a
couple of Indian squaws whom they
kidnaped from the tribe. With these
they turned back north, evidently
heading toward their mine.
Here misfortune .overtook them.
The enraged braves from whom the
squaws had been stolen took the

FOR NERVE LACK
WASHINGTON, April 33. (AP)
Representative Pish (B., N. Y.), an
opponent of full payment of the bo
nus, turned upon the house ways
and means committee today and
charged it with a lack of "nerve and
leadership" for not bringing out leg
islation to meet tha economic crisis.
He urged a billion dollar bond Issue
for a two-year program to keep peo
ple employed.
Pish waa one of severs! house vet
erans of the World war who opposed
payment of the two billion dollars
outstanding on the bonus certifi
cates, contending issuance of that
amount of new currency under the
Patman bill would force the country
off the gold standard.
Legislation to allow veterans to
cash bonus certificates at their pres
ent value waa urged before the com
mittee by Representative Lea (D.,
Cal.)
I am opposed to full cssh pay
ment of the face value of the cer
tificates," he said.
The plan for full payment on the
1849 cash value of the certificates
advocated by Represenatlve Patman
(D Tex.) la estimated to cost 3,-

ISSUES FACED BY
Hoover Under Pressure for
Prohi Statement Roose
velt's Guides Seek Plan
to Restore Business
By Byron Price,
WASHINGTON. April 22. (AP) A
lull in the furious spring drive of
delegate-choosing has given the two
major parties an opportunity this
week for serious self-questioning on
two paramount quest ions : What
does President Hoover Intend to do
about prohibition, and how does
Governor Roosevelt propose to re
store prosperity?
On neither of these topics have
Inquiring party minds been able
to achieve satisfaction. Mr. Hoover
either has not made up his mind on
the wet and dry question, or he
prefers momentarily to keep the de
cision to himself. Mr. Roosevelt
either has thought out no complete
plan for economic recovery, or he
believes the time Is not ripe to an
nounce it.
Silence So Handicap.
No outward omen Indicates that
this hesitation Is handicapping either
in his bid for the nomination. H
thngs go on as they have been
gong, the Republicans will name
Hoover and the Democrats Roosevelt
on faith, and leave the country to
wait for the post-convention cam
paign to learn what is what.
The pressure on the president, to
say something on prohibition has
become terrific, He has received
representation amounting almost to
demands from both sides. Some of
his own cabinet want the party
definitely to part company with the
Anti -Saloon League, and declare for
a referendum. One prohibition or
ganization after another, Including an
Imposing group of women during the
present week, has served notice they
will quit htm if he wavers.
Drys Businesslike.
Very business-like Indeed appear
the preparations of the organized
drys. In New York state they have
made tentative plana to run an in
dependent set of presidential electors.
Everywhere they "are talking pur
posefully of a third party a threat
which of course falls most heavily
on the Republicans, since even the
dry organization leaders now fore
see that either the Democratic plat
form or the Democratic candidate,
or both, are likely to be acceptable.

Monday, Who Will Recite
Alleged Words of Juror
Circuit Judge H. D. Norton this
afternoon during the course of the
argument for a motion for a new trial
for Earl H. Fehl, questioned the wis
dom of permitting a new witness to
testify as to alleged statements allow
ing the prejudice of Mrs. OeBauer.
The court held that such a move
would be cumulative and "tend to
lntermlnablllty," and that the plain
tiff would be permitted also to call
new witnesses. The court took the
matter under advisement.
It develops that the new witness
a woman member of a secret society
would be an unwilling witness.
Attorney Kelly 'or the defense also
demanded an Investigation of the
Jury Rvstcm In Jackson county, and
declared the Fehl verdict "was shame
less and a shock to public opinion-"
