Comment
on the
Day's-News
By FRANK JENKINS
YOU will probably agree that the
antelope la an Interesting ani
mal, but did you ever stop to ask
yourself why?
Here Is the reason: Because he Is
SCARCE 1
WE VALUE that which Is scarce.
Gold, for example. And dia
monds. And PLATINUM.
It takes an expert eye to tell plat
inum from aluminum, but platinum
Is scarce, whereas aluminum Is ex
ceedingly plentiful; so we use plati
num for making Jewelry, which beau
tUu! women wear when they wish
to Impress the menfolk, or to put
out the eye of a leas fortunate sister,
and this Jewelry la kept in velvet-
lined cases; but aluminum Is used j
for making cooking utensils, which I
we throw around in a kitchen In a
tree-handed and careless manner.
Human beings are a queer lot,
aren't they?
BECAUSE antelope are scarce, peo
ple will come from afar to see
them, and will pay good money for
the privilege this money going first
to the hotels and the garages and
the restaurants and the food stores
and the service stations, and thence
trickling out into the pockets of the
rest of us.
Then the antelope, which once
roamed the plains In vast numbers,
la now nearly extinct. Thus it be
comes a part of the good old days
that now are gone, and so acquires
the flavor of romance.
People will pay money to get for
themselves a little taste of this fla
vor of romance. ,
- -
SO THE antelope herds of South
eastern Oregon take an Important
place among the tourist attractions
of the state. In the years to come,
thousanda of people will visit the
antelope country. -
yfflS antelope country Is an lnter-
eating oountry a country of vast
spaces. Zlm Baldwin will tell you.
and get away with It, probably, that
he can take you out into It so far
that you will be 500 miles from a
gasoline station.
But here' something that even
Zlm can't do: He 'can't get you so
far from civilization that you won't
find tin cans scattered through the
age brush. . .
OUT on the edge of the antelope
country Is the little town of
Plush, and If you have even the be
ginnings of a bump of curiosity you
1 have wondered how Plush got Its
I same.
Here Is the story they tell:
An untutored Indian, back In the
early days, was playing poker with a
gathering of his white brethren, and
along In the evening he got himself
four aces.
So, even as you and I, he bet his
shirt.
BUT one of his whit brothers
showed up with a flush and took
' the pot. The dazed red man, who
had never heard of a flush before
and didn't hear the word any too
plainly, muttered:
"This plush heap br- stuff; he take
four aces."
So they named the town Plush.
fNUT In the antelope country, the
sage hens were once inimitably
numerous. They are numerous no
L longer; which Is a pity, for If ever
there was a beautiful gtme.blrd It Is
the lordly sage hen.
' Various explanations are given as
to their practical dlssppearance. Some
people say the ravens acquired too
keen a taste for aage hen eggs, and
took to robblng all the nests. Stan
ley Jewett Inclines to the belief that
disease had a lot to do with It. A
few hard-headed citizens maintain
that there has been too much shoot
ing. But, whatever the cause, the sage
hens are about gone.
Q PEAKING of aage hens, Colonel
J Bill Hanley, the patron saint of
Vie antelope country, tells thU one:
"The raven la a smart bird. One
day. out en the Double-O ranc.ih.
three of the dogs Jumped a rabbit
and took out after It, but the rabbit
was gaining on them. Just then a
I raven showed up and took part In
the game.
The raven would swoop down low.

CHICAGO, July 1. (AP) James
A. Farley, campaign manager for
Franklin D. Roosevelt, said today "by
all the rules of politics" the New
York governor should have enough
votes on the next ballot to win the
Democratic presidential nomination.
The Farley statement came as cap
tains of opposing forces were setting
themselves for a concerted attempt
to hold the slender margin by which
they prevented the New York gov
ernor from obtaining thi necessary
two-thirds .majority In the three
ballots of the all night session end
ing early today.
They were watching particularly
certain wavering states such as Mis
sissippi and Missouri. Keen Interest
also was shown In the Joint caucus
of California and Texas, which was
to be held Just before the balloting
starts again tonight. While the cau
cus was regarded as significant, no
word came of what the leaders of
these delegations whose 00 votes are
pledged to Speaker Garner, had In
mind. ............

CHICAGO STADIUM, July 1
(AP) After a tumultuous night-long
session, the Democratic national con
vention fell Into the tightening grip
of a deadlock at dawn today, took
three fruitless ballots for a presi
dential nominee, and then adjourn
ed until tonight, to think it over.
Governor Roosevelt of New York, far
ahead of his nearest rival, mustered
a slowly-rising majority on each suc
ceeding ballot, but was unable to
make the real progress which his
managers had predicted toward the
two-thirds needed to nominate.
Far Short of Nomination
On the third ballot, the official
count showed 682 for Roosevelt, 190
for Alfred E. Smith, 101 for Speaker
Garner, 52 for Governor George White
of Ohio, 40 for Melvln Traylor, 27 for
James A. Reed, 24 for Harry Byrd, 23
for Governor Ritchie of Maryland,
and 8 for Newton D. Baker.
It would have required, on this
ballot 768 votes to nominate.

DENIES KISSING
EOF
LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 1. (AP)
The trained vice of David L. Hutton,
bartione singing husband of Almee
Semple McPherson, ran the emotion
al scale with "I did nots" and "no
sirs" today as he denied from the
witness stand the cnargea of Myrtle
St Pierre, a nurse, who sued him for
200,000 breach of promise.
Hutton's voice leaped from bari
tone to tenor depending on the
nature of the question asked, him
by his attorney, Mark Jones.
His testimony of MI did not" and
"No, Sir,' became a blanket denial
of the nurse's charges that he for
sook her to marry Mrs. McPherson;
Los Angeles evangelist. Occasionally
Hutton answered questions with "I
certainly did not," with the empha
sis on the "certainly."
He testified he attended a party
at the home of Mrs. Nan Anthony
Norbury where he met the Pasadena
nurse January . 18, 1931.
"When you met Miss St. Pierre
did you clasp her hand In both of
yours and say ''Where have you been
keeping this gorgeous creature all my
life'?"
"I did not."
"State whether you hugged her."
"Certainly not."
Hutton shook with laughter as his
attorney asked him If he kissed Miss
St. Pier res knee during & Sunday
night dinner.
"I never kissed her knee In my
life."
"Did you say to her you were Just
back from San Francisco and that
there was a wonderful moon and that
you would like to enjoy such a moon
with her?"
"1 did not.
Hutton's baritone voice changed
into a tremulous tenor when his at
torney asked him 11 he slipped a ring
on Miss St. Plerres finger during the
evening.
"I did not, Hutton fairly shouted
in a high pitched voice.

the commission would be short about
2.000.000 on October 1 of eipected

000 under the anticipated amount,
Scott said. Also at the present time,
due to the combination of emergency

Prohi Leader Declares
War on Democrats for
Espousal of Wet Cause
CHICAGO, July I (AP) With
bitter words upon his lips, Bishop
Jsmea Cannon, Jr., turned his back
once again today upon .the Demo
cratic party, calling for repudiation
in the aouth of the leadership which
hss espoused repeal, promising the
drys will war without compromise.
His sentences rang with echoes of
the call the bishop sent out, right
after the 1928 Democratic conven
tion at Houston, gstherlng the pro
hibition leaders to chsrt a course
sgslnst Alfred E. Smith. That led
to the rending apart of the aolld
south, ss under Csnnon leadership,
Virginia and North Carolina went
for Hoover, along with Florida and
Texas.
Last night he announced:
Representative of a large majority
of the people of the nation who
believe and Insist thst the 18th
amendment remain unchanged, will
shortly meet In conference and will
determine what they consider to be
the best method of procedure."
He set this meeting up against
both national conventions, saying
both were largely msde up of dele

FARM AID BILL
WASHINGTON, July 1. (AP)
The senate agriculture committee to
day decided the Norbeck emergency
farm relief bill should be drastically
revised to eliminate unconstitutional
tariff ad tax sections and instructed
its author to do this and to report
It favorably to the senate.
Committee objections to the bill,
Chsirmsn McNary (R., Ore.) aald.
were based on the keystone of the
measure, the provisions for putting
a five cents a pound tariff on cotton
and tax equal to the tarrlf on cotton,
wheat and hogs to be collected at
the point of processing.
.
Fees and licenses collected by the
Georgia department of game and fish
totaled 85.228 tor 1931.
war with the traffic In Intoxicating
liquors Is an Irrepressible conflict.
There are simple battles In the war.
In which there will be no retreat,
no surrender, no compromise."
Dr. 8. C. Dinwiddle, secretary of
the national prohibition board of
strategy, also said today the leaders
present at the convention would
meet right after It Is over, snd lay
plans for a thoroughly representa
tive conference.
Bishop Cannon, lashing out at the
southern delegates who went along
In the roll call for repeal, charged
them with a "double betrayal," In
permitting without protest sdoptlon
of the demsnd on congress to sub
mit repesl, and In sitting "dumbly,
Impo'.ently or Indifferently" while
the convention "actually voted that
members of the Democratic party,
Including their dry southern con
stituents, must support the repeal
of the 18th amendment."
He said the "stinging rebuke of
1928" should have beed enough, but
now "If aouthern Democracy la not
to be hopelessly, permsnently disin
tegrated, the morel forces of the
south must find expression tinder
another leadership which will not
betray them as In 1928 and 1933."
He blamed the Democrstlo action
upon "hand-picked" political leaders,
upon the "elwsys dureputable, be
smirched" Tammany and similar
elements.

HOSS SEEKS PLAN
FOR INSTALLMENT.
E
SALEM, July 1. (AP) Hal E.
Hom, secretary of state, was busy to
day working on a new plan for au
tomobile license Installment buying,
following receipt of an opinion last
night from the attorney-general de
claring proposed plans illegal, in the
meantime the 16-day moratorium an
nounced by the governor became ef
fective today and stats police were
asked by the chief executlvs not to
enforce the license law for several
weeks.
Hoab announced he waa "devising
some means to circumvent an opin
ion of Attorney-CKneral L H. Van
Winkle." The opinion held that "It
Is apparent that the secretary of state
Is not authorized by law to collect
or receive vehicle license fees on the
Installment plan, except as provided
by statute. If he does so, he acta upon
his own responsibility. In any event
he la not authorised to Issue any reg
istration receipt or license plate ex
cept upon payment to him of the full
amount provided by statute."
The attorney-general ruled Hoss
had no right to make refunds on li
censes already paid except where paid
by error or where the car was de
stroyed before half the license period
had expired.
After reading the lengthy opinion,
Hoss was still of the opinion that he
would put into effect a plan to Issue
colored stickers In lieu of a license,
each to serve for one-quarter of the
year.

DELEGATES KEEP
ROOSEVELT FAITH
By Leslie J. Smith

CHICAOO, July 1, (AP) After
tenaciously casting their ten ballots
for Franklin D. Roosevelt, member
of the Oregon delegation to the
Democratic national convention re
tired to their hotel rooms at 10 a. m.
today. They were exhausted, perspir
ing and haggard but hopeful that
with resumption of voting at 8:30
o'clock tonight the New York gover
nor would have enough auprt to
win the nomination.
Oregon's ten votes were cast three
times Friday and with the tabulation
of each ballot Roosevelt crept closer
to the nomination. Frequent delaya
while polls were taken from the plat
form wearied the delegates and spec
tators alike. The Oregon lsns slipped
out between calls for their atate and
went to breakfast shortly after mid
night when It became apparent bal
loting would last many hours. Other
wise the full delegation sat through
the entire session, turning a deaf ear
to Importunities from the opposition
that they desert Roosevelt to whom
they are pledged.
The Oregonlan have decided to
support Roosevelt throughout even
to the extent of going down with the
ship should the New York governor's
support fall,
