Got to understand the lad = -
He's not eager to be bad,
If the right he only knew,
He would be as old as you,
Were he now exceeding wise,
He'd be just about your size;
When he does things that annoy,
Don't forget he's just boy.
Gould he know and understand.
He would need no guiding hand,
But he's young and hasn't learned
How life's corners must be turned
Doesn't know from day to day.
There is more in life than play,
More to face than selfish joy
Don't forget he's just boy.
Being just a boy he'll do
Much you will not want him to-;
He'll be careless of his ways,
Have his disobedient days,
Wilful, wild and headstrong too,
Just as. when a boy, were you;
Things OF value he'll destroy,
But reflect, he's just boy.
"Just boy who needs friend,
Patient, kindly to the end,
Needs a father who will show
Him the things he wants to know
Take him win you when you walk
Listen when he wants to talk,
His companionship enjoy.
Don't forget he's just boy"

Beebe has told officers that the
elder Painter killed his son in a
quarrel and then killed himself.
after ordering Beebe to bury both
bodies in grave which Painter
had dug. Beebe declared he COM
piled with this request after ieav-
ing the bodies lie over night un-
der pile of straw in farm build
ing.
Officers yesterday brought
George Beebe, brother of the pris-
oner and their father to Albany
and questioned them. Both said
they had not heard Of the tragedy.
They were allowed to return home
"Pete" Beebe persisted in his
assertion that Painter owed him
$500 for wages and a share in the
wood he had helped cut and haul
land that some sort OF arrange
ment had been made whereby he
was to receive a team in lieu OF
the money.
Neighbors to the Painters said
today that Beebe mao been attach
ed to this team and eager TO drive
1t, but that the Painters had re-
fused to let him drive 1t at any
time, saying that he could not
handle it. They said that he nad
attempted to bargain with Painter
for the team repeatedly.
A gold watch was nBeebe's po-
session when he was arrested. He
said he had obtained this two
months ago from the elder Paint
er in trade for a revolver. Frank
l.. Smith, a neighbor of Painter,
identified the watch as priced
possession OF the ole man and said
that he had seen him carrying i
within AS hours of the time he
was supposed to have died.
L. w. Dillon of Lebanon iden-
titled the revolver which was
found by Sheriff Kendall over the
door of the granary, where Beebe
said he had hidden it, as one that
he had traded to Beebe several
months ago. The revolver is 3S
caliber and when found had three
empty chambers, one discharged
cartridge and one loaded cartridge
In 1t.
Young Beebe became blind from
cataracts when 6 years old and he
remained blind for years. When
called in the first draft he was ex-
amined and 1t was discovered that
the malady was durable. An oper-
alton two years ago restored his
eye sight.

Devine Urges
Separation Of
Labor Problem

DR.. Edward T. Devine spoke
last night to a large audience of
townspeople and Willamette stu
dents at the chapel of Willamette
University. He discussed the gem
eral labor situation. His atti-
tude is that there should be a gem
eral separation made between
those problems that are social and
those that are economic or that
strictly pertain to conflict between
capital and labor. In other words
the matter of hygenic working
conditions, the matter of arriving
at well defined standard of liv-
ing, the mater of child labor
these should be lifted out from so
called labor disputes and not be
permitted to be made part of labor
adjustments. They should be re-
garded as social matters and set
tied as social questions. Society
should not leave these and other
related questions to be threshed
out through strikes and confer
ences between labor and capital.
AS result of this distinction
and separation of issues there
would remain then only the mat
ters of length of hours Of labor
and pay for such labor for repre-
sentatives of labor and capital to
settle in labor disputes. Handled
in this way, says DR.. Devine, the
bare questions as to hours OF
labor and pay per hour or day
could then be comparatively
easily settled by labor and capital
representatives. This would
minimize their work and their
work would be relatively easy,
said he.-
BY settlement of hygienic and
general living conditions by ef-
forts of society working socially,
working conditions could be made
healthy and thus the laborer could
secure pleasure from his work,
added DR.. Deyine.

Warden Is
Probed By
Realty Men

Pertinent questions pertaining
to the state flax industrial plant
were put to Louis v. Compton,
warden of the penitentiary, fol-
lowing bis talk on the manage
ment Of the plant in answer to a
speech made by Robert Crawford,
deposed flax plant superintendent,
who stated that the state had not
given the industry the proper sup
port, at the Marion County Real
tors luncheon in the Marion
hotel this noon.
In answer to the questions as to
why the state did not issue war
rants to pay growers on contracts
signed by the state and which ag-
gregate a sum of several thousand
dollars, Mr.. Compton stated that
the board of control had no power
to issue warrants for which there
had been money appropriated.
The question was then asked why
the emergency board could not be
appealed to, Mr.. Compton stating
that it was impossible for the rea-
son that the emergency board
could not act unless there had
been an appropriation and that
Appropriation having run out.
Regarding the charges OF inef-
ficient help in the flax plant Mr.
Compton said:
That's my own business. Only
the other day | received letters
from two men who stated that Mr..
Crawford was not an experienced
flax man. / know he is. We sew
cred our connections for purely
private reasons, but am not go
ing to discuse that"
Regarding the continuance of
the flax plant the warden stated
that he would like to see a COM
pany formed in the state that
would take over the plant and as
sumo the states debt to the grow
ers. He stated that the reason the
state had fallen down on its con-
tract was because of the drop in
the price of flax, but added that
the governor had promised to take
the matter up with the legislature,
providing that there is not some
means worked out to take care of
the situation before the next ses-
sion.

Wheat
Normally
81 Bushel

Chicago, Nov. 3.-What long
ago used to be considered nor
malcy was reached today on the
Chicago board of trade-wheat at
81 a bushel. The December deliv-
cry fell to that price, fhe lowest
since 1915.
Absence Of demand rather than
any unusual selling pressure char
acterized today's market. The dol
lar a bushel price led to compar@-
sons with more than double that
figure reached during the great
war, and also was a reminder that
the market for May delivery was
down to s4h q bushel in 1914
and to s3h In 1911.

For nine years the Badgers have
been battling unsuccessfully tc
shatter the cycle of Bearcat su-
premacy; ever since 1912 they
have been fighting to break the
iynx held over them by the cardi-
nal and gold. This year their Wis
ion of victory bids fair of accom-
pIishment on the strength of the
dope sheet. Comparative scores
give no clue to the relative
stren,;th of the two teams, for they
have met but one common oppo'
nent, the University of Oregon
Willamette held the Eugene lads tc
a 7-3 score, while the best Pacific
could do against Huntington's out
fit was the short end of 21-7 re

battled Pacific was far different
and stronger aggregation than thu

ened with defeat.
