SALEM'S WITCHES COME
TO LIFE IN FINE NOVEL

There's fascination about
f s h er Barstow Hammands
Road to Endor" (Farrar and
Rinehart; S2.75) that keeps the
reader engrossed from the be-
ginning of Samuel Paris ad-
ventures to their final. tragic
conclusion. His path leads in
evitably to Endor. all events of
his life point toward witches
hill.
Against a constantly shifting
background, you follow the Puri-
tan lad. devoted to the min
istry, through London's plague
and fire, away from 18th CEN
fury England to the little COL
ony in America, to an infant
Harvard college, to sugar
plantation in the Indies and, fl
nally. back to Salem, where he
plays an important part in the
famous Salem witchcraft trials.
There is romance in Samuels
love for the girl of the great
fire and his search to find her
again, in his one great sin that
beset him all his life. But pre-
dominant is the powerful. exact
ing faith of the Puritan battling
superstition and heresy.
You'll find Mrs. Hammond has
spared no effort in research. and
her story sheds new light on one
of early Americas greatest ira
gedies.

LIGHT ON SCHOOLS
AND TANES URGED

Editor The Times: Now that
the blitZkrieg of election cam
paigns is over, suppose we en-
JOY rational interlude.
One of the issues in the cam
paign was that of more money
for schools" That has been the
hue and cry ever since came
&c the county in 1908. No
means of raising funds has ever
been suggested Ito my notice..
except tax levy or bond
issue, One would think there
were no other resources. What
about the school lands? Have
they been entirely forgotten
When our state was created,
there were numerous large
tracts of valuable timber land
set aside by the wise providence
o our forefathers. These hold
ings, IL was thought, with care
full handling, would provide a
perpetually ample fund for all
public school expenses: by sell
ing the timber, renting the cut
over lands for pasture and re-
foresting to keep up the supply
for the future. Now we never
hear word about any income
from forest lands: the cry is
always for more taxes.
Suppose we ask our pioneers
to tell us what they know on
the subject and to speak of it
in their meetings. Its complete
history should be in the annals
of the public schools and of the
legislature.
In 1898 the state superintend-
ent of schools secured an in
junction against waste of school
lands; but the waste began long
before that date. In 1899 the
Thurston county grand jury
found that the waste was still
going on: but very little pub
licity was given to their find
ings.
There are still some school
lands left. Let us have this
report. which was paid for by
the people. aired before We vote
another tax levy or bond issue.
Let us know what We are doing,
then take action.
We cannot act intelligently in
the dark. Let us bring il into
the light. We cannot conserve
our God-given resources with
out righteous government. We
cannot have a righteous govern
ment without honest men in
control. II some of our public
officials need watching. let us
check up on them or get rid Of
them. Sometimes. when they
so wrong. it is our fault for
allowing them 10 get by with
it" And the Lord will smite
us for their shortcoming, as He
did in the Narrows bridge
disaster.
The school department and
every other branch OF public
service should keep within its
budget or income. AS long as
il is allowed TO overdrsw. we
may expect new demands every
year or two.
1t is not too early TO prepare
against the next demand for
new taxes. The permanent solu-
ton lies with the land commits
sioners and the legislators. Sup
pose we ask the new incum-
bents for comprehensive report
to be made public.

Heart and Home: Under this

closely together by ties of love

Moreover. Australians sea and
land forces would resist any
Japanese grab Of the wealthy
1ndies-and the "Ausies' can

boy of 1917-191s knows. On top
of these considerations, there is
the fact that our Pacific fleet
might be ordered 10 join with the
Dutch and the Australians in
repelling a Japanese movement
in this direction.
Washington has had some diff
ficult moments with London over
those so average destroyers
which figured in the deal for
bases in the western Atlantic.
The problem appears unimpor-
tant, but it reveals what a threat
TO American neutrality this
transaction might have been.
The British at first wanted to
retain the old names of the
transferred vessels. Washington
said NO" to that proposition.
Then Prime Minister Churchill
wanted to make known the orig
inal names of the vessels figur-
ing in the deal Again, after
some elaboration. President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hull
shook their heads. They were
afraid that if one Of these ships
were lost in an encounter with
the enemy, 1t might be listed in
British admiralty reports as a
former American destroyer"
Such an advertisement, it was
generally admitted in Official
quarters, might inflame Amer
lean sentiment, especially in
naval circles. So, barring any
change in the bapusmal process
as dictated from Washington,
the 80 average destroyers shall
remain anonymous.
The goVernment-arm navy,
PWA-has suffered some criti-
cism for its building program.
The attack is based on the fact
that Uncle sam is building finer
and more durable homes for
civilian defense workers than he
is for draftees and members Of
the regular army.
The latter are being housed in
barracks and environments sim
liar to those which marred MANY
a landscape during the World
war. They arc being herded to-
gether and forced to live in
communal style; they will have
a minimum amount of comforts.
But the workers. who will draw
good pay as against the army
maximum of $50 a month for
privates, will live in comforta BILE
and permanent residences. Some
will even enjoy gas heat. espe-
cially in southern sections. To
the friends and families of the
soldiers this appears to be an
unfair contrast.
But Washington has a con-
vincing answer. The draftees
and regular army men must
sacrifice home comforts during
the training period so that they
may become tough and strong
should war eventuste; they can
not be trained in gas-heated
homes or apartments. The
workers, attuned to an entirely
different psychology, need a
more happy environment. Fur
thermore, the employees new
homes are designed for a life OF
40 to 60 years. while nobody
expects that the nation will need
barracks beyond the duration Of
the present emereency-three or
