The room suddenly was very Siet, so quiet that Jnliet could hear rattle of distant street-cars, a far off automobile horn, the muffled murmurs of a great city muttering- in its sleep. Once more Mrs. Gottlieb's pallid lips moved. A dry leaf rustled, and it was the dying woman's voice.

"I am waiting for him." Madame Hubert was. still abusing Dr. Von Guerdon when Juliet burst in upon them, a tide of new color under her fresh skin. "Get that O'Hara on the phone quick!" she flung out at Madame Hubert. "We've a chance to pull that poor thing through." A disgusted aoise rattled in Von Geerdon's throat.

W. i Kirkpatrick, attorney of Milwaukie. Salem remembers Mr. Kirkpatrick as a member of the- legislature. His minority report on the state capitol question was the most rational of all the reports, and the one which should have been adopted.

He further proves his moral integrity in his announcement as candidate for congress in the first congressional district on the democratic ticket, First, he doesn't hide behind the usual smoke screen of vin response to the urging of friends, He says frankly he is starting his campaign on his own initiative. Second, he says frankly that he is opposed to the Town-send plan; and he gives cogent reasons for opposing the plan: "It would, through inflation that is inherent in it. diminish the purchasing power, not only of the pension itself, bat otabe wages and salaries ot all who work, and the sarings of all those who have any Barings left, to Bach an extent as to work untold hardships on those who hare nothing bat their labor to hoard. It would condemn to idleness a large group of people to whom idleness would be the severest kind of punishment." Here indeed is a "Daniel come to judgment" an honest candidate, who dares state his convictions and stand on them.iHere is another man like Rowan who carried the "message to Garcia" who deserves to be cast in deathless bronze. The world has been calling for men with intestinal -fortitude.

Proclaim it from the housetops that one has been found, who scorns hypocrisy of those who are willing to espouse the Townsend cause for the votes it musters, who rebels at the cowardice of those who sidestep the issue. In this day of fawning and playing up to all sorts of minority groups Kirkpatrick is a unique phenomenon in politics. His courage should commend him to those who put principle above cleverness and who respect a man who preserves his own intellectual integrity. SYNOPSIS la the dlnin room of a Los An nies hoteL Jnliet Rankin is ap proached by Denton Terbxme, well known San Francisco lawyer. At tracted by Juliets txaury ana aloofness, he asks If he might chat with her.

Terhone Introduces Mary to Madame Hubert, wealthy beauty expert, whom he describes ms the oddest and most interesting woman in Los Angeles, and her handsome, young manager, Thomas O'Hara. O'Hara is worried over the case of a Mrs. Gottlieb who Is ia a serious condition at the beauty institute das to her heart being too weak to stand the ether administered during a facial operation. Madame Hubert, however, appears unconcerned. She compliments Juliet on her beauty and offers her a position.

O'Hara objects strenuously, saying: Take my advice and keep out of it 1 don't like yoa and you don't like me we would never get on together." Madame claims O'Hara fears Jnliet is after bis job. He leaves in anger. Juliet wonders why O'Hara affects her so strangely. Then it dawns upon her that he resembles her dead sweetheart. Madame takes Juliet to the institute with the ague hope that she may be able to help her with Mrs.

Gottlieb. CHAPTER IV An elevator, with oily smoothness, shot them to the top floor of the pleasantly scented building. A wide corridor, thickly carpeted and adorned with objets d'art, led to Madame Hubert's splendid office. It was here that Jnliet was introduced to Fraas Von Guerdon, the Heidelberg graduate whose fame in plastic surgery was international Fair and tan, Von Guerdon had something of military exactness in is bearing. Fame had come to him vhilo he was stOl young.

His lean features, shadowed with a hint of Prussian arrogance, were studious and unsmiling. In the matter of apparel his tailoring and haberdashery reflected the trans-Atlantic perfection of Bond Street and Seville Row At the introduction, he took Jolt ef hand and bent forward slightly, as foreigners do.

The door closed softly behind the nurse. She was hurrying back to the bedside Von Guerdon tossed his cigarette out an open window but made no move to follow. Nor did Madame Hubert show any interest. Hadn yon better do something?" Juliet asked Von Guerdon, surprised at bis indifference. The tall physician rave her glance as polished and steely as one of his own instruments.

"I've already done everything possible," he said crisply and. Juliet thousrht. rather heartlessly. "My presence in the room could have no effect whatever noon Mrs. Gottlieb's heart if it has decided to auit beatintr.

A mournful croaking arose from Madame Hubert, absurdly small and drooping, as she perched in the cushioned swivel chair behind the wide bulwark of her mahogany desk. "It seems tc me," she complained bitterly, "that yon ought to keep that woman alive. Von Guerdon. I dont care what you do call in the best specialists. Never mind the expense.

It's scandalous it's unspeakable that you permit such a disaster. A frigid grimace the mere paro dy of a smile congealed on Von Guerdon's lips.

One dead pa Foreign Trade A MEETING is set for Feb. 26 in Portland of the Columbia River Gateway Foreign Trade association. Addresses are scheduled from prominent men in this territory. The subject in hand is the increase in foreign trade out of the Columbia river.

It is -an important topic. The curtailment of foreign markets has gravely injured many industries, and agriculture in particular. Northwest wheat needs to get its export market back on a profitable basis. Apples, pears and prunes have suffered because of restrictions against importations in England, France and Germany. Loganberries used to have a good market in Canada.

The Columbia river offers an admirable gateway to the world market It has the channel the storage and dock facilities, and its chief city has the financial organization to handle foreign trade. Now the deep water is being extended to The Dalles and a new port is coming into being. The equipment is all at hand; only tangled political and economic conditions keep that equipment in comparative idleness. This Gateway association is trying to chart a course for Community Sentiment Four 8alem citiaens In a row. Awaiting a bus out ia the snow; One Salem citizen laughed with glee.

But you should hare heard the other three! Not all people are agreed as to what constitutes a sin. All are agreed ae to certain acts being sinful, but many acts considered sinful by some people and are not so-considered by others. And there are people who contend complacently that they are nerer tempted to sin. Such a person, a Salem minister is reported to have said, is one of three things a fanatic, a $lar or a fooL Well, I wouldn't know. Or To Warm Tp Neighborhood news in local papers tells of a family 'who departed Saturday for their former home In Decorah, Iowa, after four years residence here.

Perhaps they have gone back to cool off. Cecil De Mille has made an excellent Picture la The Crusades. We kid4 who remember Ivanhoe I most of lit ia a smattering sort of way found a heap of good entertainment, and perhaps a bit of instruction, in the picture. Not that Ivanhoe had anything to do with tho crusades, but we seem to re call that Rich- IX H. TaiBtat ard, escaped from pr i some where on the continent, arrived in England at a time when Iranhoe needed such a friend, and any friend of Iranhoe is a friend ot ours.

See? We hare had a hanker to meet op with the lion-heart ed Richard for quite some time. and Henry Wilcoxon happens to meet our wishes that he would be portrayed as the sort of man we hoped he was. And we hope that Barengaria, beautifully played by Loretta Young, really caused him to see that he was all wet as crusader and to admit it meekly. Such is the story as told by the film. We trust it Is true, "but we hare our doubts.

Anyway, it is a much better story that way. One of my troubles is that 1 seldom think of doing something the right way until I am reminded of It by having done it the-wrong way. There was a time long ago, be fore I had learned that I was probably the world's worst impromptu speaker, and had not yet decided that I didn't care much, when made every speech two tlm once at lodge or at the oyster sup per or at tne wara caucus, or whatever the occasion chanced to be, and again after I had gone to bed. I still, think the speeches made after going to bed were pret ty good. Silence Is something one hears when he says anything in polite company in praise of the north erly winds that have been cavort ing hereabouts during the past several weeks.

An interesting spot In the week's newareels at the picture houses: The administering of the oath to Mrs. Huey Long as successor to her husband as senator from Louisiana, and the welcome extended to Mrs. Long by Mrs. Caraway, senator from Arkansas two plain women, but quite as beautiful as the average male sen ator is handsome. A portrait does not tell a great deal about a person.

With nothing but a portrait to Judge by, the world would have guessed wrong on most of the great women of history. The Disney studios at Holly wood do an annual business of $150,000,000. This is one reason, I reckon, why Walt turned down a radio offer of $3,500 a week the other day. Evidences ot a return of pros perity are always Interesting, but I cannot, for some reason, 'work up much enthusiasm over the increase in the volume of automo-bUe sales. A glance at the automobile situation as It exists here, and as it doubtless exists in other sections of the county.

Is not very reassuring. ETerybody knows that heaps ot folks buy cars and in the buying forego many of the necessities and comforts of great er- importance. Clink Twilliger, back yonder, wore a flashy scarf-pin. Also he wore a shabby long-tailed coat to cover the holes in the bosom of his trousers. It seems to me Fre nerer known a time when folks did so much crooked thinking as they're been doing during the past few years Of course, I may be doing some croked thinking myself, but thus far I am unable to see a tax as anything but a tax, and whether it Is leried on real estate and per sonal property or on incomes or sales or transactions it Is still a tax.

If there were no income there would be nothing to tax. This ap pears to be simple enough, yet some folks smart folks, too seem unable to grasp it. Ed Barley, whom I to know In rirer bottom days, derot ed a heap of time to thinking how much better it was for him not to think of things he was unable to help. Whenever Ed felt the urge to flourish a string of opinions, which string came to an end only when the audience had faded away, he usually chose the subject of death. He had other subjects, bat he preferred death.

He opined he'd die sometime, because he'd noticed that pretty much everybody did, and he got a power, ful lot of latisfaction in just thinking how -mack better It was for him not to worry himself about it than ft would be for him to do as some folks didfret their lives plumb out of order because ot I seckon Ed 'wasted nbonrt "I The Pay-Roll Expansion Washington. Feb. 22. THE contradictions, intracaeles, ramifications, general confusion and vast extent of the new deal are such that It is not surprising the average citizen is unable to keep a clear picture in his head. For that matter, there isn't one new dealer, from the president down, who can.

The thing is too grotesque to be adequately grasped by the bum- frank Ksat an mind. HOWEVER, there are one or two things, simple though large. which seem to sink in more deep er as time goes on and which. iqaay minx, are uaeiy to oe moie damaging to the Roosevelt chances than the profound indictments ot the unconstitutionality ot his program, the economic fallacies ot his experiments, or the menace of the direction in which he steers. Men who look at the situation from a detached angle are conrinced that if Mr.

Roosevelt is boaten it will be because ot the saturation ot the people with three thoughts about him first, that he has broken his promises and cannot be bell eyed; second, that he has wasted the public money on all sorts of ridiculous things; third, that he has enormously increased the number ot federal Jobholders. There are plenty of other things that can be said about the new deal, but they nearly all flow from these three. They appear to be basic. AS FAR as the first two are concerned, the new deal spokesmen put up a defense. First, they say, Mr.

Rooserelt was unable to keep his promises because of the Em ergency. He did not propose to let people starve. This, of course, overlooks the fact that his promises were made during the campaign, when the Emergency was more acute than later; that they were renewed alter his inauguration; that the first three months as president were deroted to carrying them out; that he could have seen to it that no one starr ed and still kept his word. In brief, the defense is a hollow one which will not hold water. It in no way justifies the gigantic expenditures involved in such grandiose experiments, for example, as the one Professor Tugwell is now conducting under the name of rural rehabilitation.

AS TO WASTE the argument is that in spending so rast a sum a certain amount of waste is inevi table, and a spirited defense of boondoggling" is made by Mr. Hopkins, who thinks people just too damned dumb to understand, and by Mr. Roosevelt himself, who says it is a glorious word which the American people will keep enshrined in their hearts. Neither of thesu defenses seem very convincing when laid alongside of the facts. However, they present a "talking point" and permit of a certain plausibility in argument.

But for that third point that in three years Mr. Roosevelt has added 250,000 jobholders to the full-time federal payroll, only one in 107- of whom were selected through the civil service, there is no defense not even; explanation. THE FACT is when Mr. Roosevelt's denunciation of the multiplicity' and growth ot federal boards, bureaus, commissions and employes, plus his nleas tor the simplification of the governmen tal macnmery, are read rrom the record, this addition of a onarter ot a million jobholders in three years becomes the most amaxlng and Incomprehensible thing about his whole administration. It makes an ordinary man wonder what he thinks of it himself how he Justifies it in hia own mind.

Neither tho spokesmen for the administration nor its publicity agents deal with the sub ject. There seems a general agree ment mat it should be ignored. PERHAPS that Li the best It cannot, of course, be alibied either with the "keeping people from starving" argument, or the emergency now considered past, i For one reason, the number of employes never goesr down, steadily goes up. Every month sees additions. The simple truth is that in the past three years there has been constructed bv an ad ministration pledged to simplify the government and abolish un necessary employes, the most gigantic jobholdina- machine in the and cost of which bears heavily nistory oi the world, the weight upon every man and woman not in it.

and which is now rushinc in high gear toward Its coal a Continuation of power. It is a pic ture which the people have not yet seen clearly but they are beginning to. Twenty Years Ago February 2S, 1916 Salem police raided the Chinese quarter last night seeking the slayers of a Roseburg oriental. Senator Robert M. LaFollette has announced his candidacy for the republican presidential nomination.

But we have different methods ot being that way. It happens, I think, to most of us at one time or another that we ask aa acquaintance, whom we hare not seen for a considerable time, regarding the health of a relatire, only to learn that the relative Is dead.

It is, perhaps, one of the things we would rather not have done, but I see in such circumstances little occasion for feeling as did a man whom I met last week. He had such an expe rience, and he said he felt terri bly about it wouldn't have had it happen for the world, and all that sort of talk. He had the air of a person who has committed an unpardonable sin. It Is impossi ble for us to keep a close record of all the families we have known. and a kindly question, even though it bruises a wound not entirely healed, is stiU a kindly questfon.

However, it may be the better way, when we meet with a former acquaintance, to confine our queries to generalities, such as how Is everything? Or, bow have you and yours been through all these years? Thus providing an opportunity to the person ques tioned to glre out only such In formation as he desires to give out. Incurable He's heard the carwheels shriek with cold. He's heard the wires' shrill will; He's seen the snow a train enfold Adrift on biting gale. He's seen thermometers freeze up Seen streams freeze to their bers; He's heard the bark of solar pop He's heard the squeak of sleds. And, growling deep, he came away.

Came to a milder land; Yet still at weather, day by day. He growls to beat the band. The Southern Pacific switch en glue that daily and nightly draws strings of cars through Front street is spoken of by a small boy in that part of the city as the bis bad wolf. Because it huffs and it puffs, I presume. I may be pretty weak In th higher classics, but I don't reckon anybody's going to stump me on the three little pigs.

Melvyn Douglas is a good actor and Gail Patrick lg a charming girl and The Lone Wolf Returns shown at the Grand theatre dur ing the week, is an interesting picture, but I suspect that Mrs Aldrich of Gresham would find not entirely to ner "liking were she to see it. Mrs. Aldrich might say that it is not right for-a jew el thief to be portrayed so charm in to young folks, and it may be she is right about it. Anyway it is an idea. The jewel thief la the picture falls in love, and drops the jewel-stealing racket cold, and the story ends on quite high moral plane.

But what It he hadn fallen In love, and had gone on being the debonair, de tective-proof rascal he was? Which is another idea. And per haps not a very god idea for sappy kids to mull over In their minds, at that. It is estimated that English language daily newspapers were read last year by 38.450,000 people. And three or four of these millions were show-offs who lo cate typographical errors and call the neighbors' attention to 'em. Bud Rimpwlnkle says he reck ons the five best actresses now ap pearing on the screen is Claudette Colbert, Which might, it seems to me, be construed as somewhat ot a compliment for Miss Colbert.

Just a word In memory of Grace Gobble Drayton, who died recent ly, on behalf of certain Salem youngsters who loved the Dolly Dingle cutouts in the Pictorial Review and the Bear Cub series in St. Nicholas. George Washington was bora in Virginia February ZZ. 1732, and died December 14, aged 67. Having these dates fresh In our minds, we may go forth Into the street and hand them out freely, quite as if they were indelibly impressed in memory, whereas, in fact, we shall probably not be certain ot them at a later date than tomorrow morning.

But exact dates are Important only now and then. Personally, I no longer make a special effort' to remember dates exactly. I have found exact dates to be more of liability than an asset. Most of the men of my acquaintance who have been able to recall exact dates in great quantity, failed to recall much of anything else. And raw dates are not particularly appetizing.

I chanced to read Postmaster General Farley's speech, delivered at the New York 'dinner of the Mail Carriers' association, and found some of the figures set forth therein rather entertaining. When George Washington died there were only 75 postoffieee la the United States. At the beginning of the present fiscal year there were 45. CSC. Ia Washington's time a letter required fire days to go from New York to Boston.

A letter mailed In Maine reached Georgia In 20 days perhaps. Mail was delivered between Philadelphia and New York onse a week weather permitting. Yet only as recently as last Tuesday an airplane traversed the distance between New York and Washington in two boars, and man crosses the continent regularly as clockwork In IS hours Marvelous. It was pretty nice of Mr. Farley not to claim all the credit.

Sometimes I wonder If all this development of speed and mo Continud -oeilS the rebuldmg of international trade. If successful it will 'provide a market for our domestic surplus, employment for workers and capital in commerce and transportation, and in return the importation of goods and wares needed in this country. Usually conventions are orgies of eating, drinking and talking. Here is one that has a reason. If it grapples with its problem it may accomplish something worth while.

Gold Production FOR the first time world gold production passed the billion dollar mark last year (computed in 59c counters). Over 30 million ounces were mined, which was ten per cent more than in 1934. The increases were made in South Africa, Russia, the United States and Canada, in the order named. There are only four mines in the United States which produce more than 100,000 ounces of gold a year.

Jnliet, all at once, was conscious of aa inner dominance en trnruah-ing activity thst destroyed any hesitancy. Her chin rose and she felt inches tauer. "Where's Mrs.

Gottlieb's room?" she demanded curtly of Von Goer-don. "Down the haa. second door on the right" She brushed past him, so dose that she sensed tne physical warmth of his body, the mud aroma of his expensive Egyptian cigarettes. He and Madame Hnbert were useless in this crisis, both too self -centered to realize their responsibility. Jn liet slammed the door behmd her slammed it shut, perhaps, upon her new job and ner future.

Down the broad corridor she hur ried, over, soft mauve carpet, be tween pastel walls, through the weak but pervading- atmosphere of powders, creams and lotions. An odd place for a woman to be dying I Somehow indeed, it did seem impolite and tactless to expire in these chic surroundings this enchanting temple dedicated not to death but to sparkle and beauty and the very gleam of life itself. Surely death had never been ex pected here. No appropriate preparations made for such a grizzly in truder. None of this was Juliet's business she too was an interloper.

But it ncver occurred to her to turn back. At the second door on the right a beautiful lacquered door with a small design like a coronet upon it Juliet entered and disappeared from the world of soft carpets and the mode moderne. The sick room was all white enamel with a narrow bed, spotless and sinister, standing bleakly upon a sterile glazed floor. An antiseptic voice spoke to Juliet. She's still ticking but it wont be long now." The nurse moved back one starched cuff and looked at her wristwatch.

With luck she would be home early. The middle aired, unloved face of Mrs. Gottlieb was immaculately Dandaged from chin to crown of head. The woman had the look of a nun a nun carved out of tallow. If she was breathing, that function was not visible.

Juliet stood beside the bed and touched the covers softly with her young living hand. The waxy lips moved ever so slightly. Juliet bent near. "If tin husband Juliet moved a hand small and warm and placed it on the cold forehead. leaning over the stOl form she whispered something.

Whispered it so softly that even the nurse across the room could not hear. "Listen darling, you're goinr to brace tip. He's coming here to see yon your husband. Just hang on a little bit longer. He's on bis way, and he loves yoa so much oh, so very much.

That was where the Dunlways had the office ot their "New Northwest- and 'Tony Noit-ner published the Portland Standard. The Bits man worked on the Standard the four months before coming to Salem, arriving here in August, 1884. But the Oregon Medical school never opened tor classes.

In June, 1866, steps were taken to bring the proposed school into operation, and at Salem. Dr; J. H. Wythe, who became president of Willamette in October, 1865, played a prominent part in this movement. He was both physician and preacher.

He had held a position of anthority in the medical corps ot the U. S. srmy in theClvIl war. Dr. Horace Carpenter, who had come to Oregoja in 1861 and to Salem In 1865.

At its meeting of Jane IX. 1866. a committee of three was appointed to treat' with the proposed medical department heads at Portland with reference to movlag to Sa-lam.

and. If this "Hullo what is itT" O'Hara's voice over the phone had a bitter sound. Madame Hu bert passed the telephone a living responsibility to Jnliet. "I want yon to get hold of that man Gottlieb and bring him to his wife immediately," said Juliet boldly fate the receiver. "Dont argue.

Thirty minutes later a frightened and confused Herman Gottlieb sat facing his own conscience personified in the cool figure of Juliet Rankin.

As the hideous dissection proceeded unmanly tears sprang into his blinking eyes.

"And, of course, the poor thing must have known all along you were running around with other women," Juliet went on remorselessly. "Wives always know those things but what could she do? She could have left you and sued for alimony, but she happened to love you. In good times and bad she stuck to you for twenty years "Thirty years," said Mr. Gottlieb helplessly. "Thirty years changed her looks a lot, didnt they? They spoiled her figure and her complexion made her shopworn and old and sagging.

But her love didnt change, did it? On the inside she was still the same girl you married thirty years ago. And she thought there was only one way to hold you that she had to compete with those nasty little tramps you chased with. She thought a surgeon's knife could restore her poor old face and make her a girl again." (To Be Continued) CwKM. IMS. st Kshj rattan SjaStat.

The only important new discovery in the way of a gold mine is the Golden Queen in the Mojave desert, where operations got under way last year. The famous old Comstock lode is again a producer, turning out silver and gold. The higher price for precious metals and improved processes of recovering them from the ore account for the reopening of Comstock and other mines. In Oregon last year's production amounted to over a million and a half, in dollar value. Chief producing districts are southwest Oregon and the Baker district.

Placers produce the larger portion of Oregon's gold. The continued heavy production of gold and the 40 per cent devaluation of the dollar cannot help but eventuate in a marked rise in prices, is the opinion of most "economists. Issue in Cold Storage THERE will be no projection of the issue of amending the constitution or clipping the wings of the supreme court in this political campaign, insofar as the administration is concerned. In spite of the bold assertion at the close of the Jackson day address that "we will not retreat," the president has already retreated in asking congress to repeal the auxiliary legislation to AAA.

Willamette university medical school was "founded" Feb. IS. 1815, but the first course of lec tures did not get started until March 3. 1867.

Explanations fol low: The pioneer Oregon medical school (medical department of Willamette university), at a meeting of the board of trustees of the university at Salem on February 16, 1865, when Oregon as a state was but six years and one day old, voted for the establishing ot a medical department, to be located at Portland, under the name of "Oregon Medical college." That is what was called its founding, referred to In this se ries yesterday. (And on the same day the Willamette board elected a faculty tor the Oregon Medical college.) A. C. Gibbs, second governor of the state of Oregon, and other persons had ia ISC 4 petitioned the Willamette board of trustees for the action; they asked that the proposed medical department be located In Portland. The Willamette board, as was said, at the same meeting, Feb.
