Fireworks Are Displayed Before 20,000 at Fairgrounds, and All Towns or Valley Are Kep- resented at Affair. 9At,EM. Or.. July 4. (Special.) The climax of Salem's two days' joint cele bration of the ninth annual Cherry Fair and Independence day came today, when more than 20.000 persons gath ered at the- State Fair Grounds to wit ness an excellent card of races at Lone Oak track and to listen to a patriotic programme. Charles W. Fulton, ex United States Senator, made the prin cipal address. . With yesterday's promise of fair -weather " fulfilled, thousands poured Into Salem from every part of the Wil lamette Valley, so that today's crowdn fully equaled those of the biggest ciavs at past State Fairs. Perhaps the. most striking note of today's celebration was the patriotic spirit which eeemed to pervade all. This iv as emphasized strongly when the 11. 000 persons filling the great grand stand at Lone Oak track and the other thousands aligned along the track nearby rose en masse and stood with bared heade while Mrs. Halite Parrish Hinges, of Salem, sang "The Star Spangled Banner." Senator Fulton in his address de clared that within the last few years Oregon's governmental changes had heen almost revolutionary in character, passing from a representative form- to a government almoet a pure democracy. The Senator said that at first ne had watched the change with apprehension. Tiut the conservatism and tendency of the people to cling to safe legislation, which had been . shown, he said, con vinced him that the future welfare was guaranteed. The celebration closed tonight with a display of fireworks at the Fair Grounds.

Declaration and the strong sentiments which it contains, but that was backed by men men who couldn't have In dited it, men who couldn't have com mitted it to memory, men who couldn't have repeated it: but men In whose lives was the incarnation of independ ence and whose spirit was breathed into that immortal document. Country Made by Sacrifice. ' "It is because we had men who were willing to suffer, to die, to ven ture and to sacrifice that we have the country, and it is only by that spirit that we ever will be able to keep a country. I love to think of those hardy men. Quiet men. not noisy men, sen sible men, not- foolish men. straight men, honest men, dependable men, real men that is what we mean by Ameri canism. There is a vast amount of pood judgment in this country, much more tl an the headlines of our news papers seem to indicate. There is a vast amount of thoughtfulness in this country. We are not a rash people. We are not filled with a spirit of militarism. We are not anxious to eot into trouble, but if anybody thinks that the spirit of service and sacrifice is lost and that we have not got the old sentiment of self-respect, he doesn't understand the United Rtoio. "I am not going to make a speech. vui i ao want to say a word to you aiong tnese lines: We want patriotis and I don't think we are going to lose it very soon, although I do devoutly hope that out of the perils and differ ences of this time may come a new birth or the sentiment of unity. I do hope that in the midst of all these troublesome conditions we have a bet ter realization of our National strenerth nd of the Import of our democratic institutions. More Than Thrills Wanted. "The boy is going to thrill at the signt or the flag todav Just as he did fifty or a hundred years ago. We are all going to thrill when we heaiv the words of our National hymn and when we think of the long years of strusrsrle and determination that have brought us to tnis hour. But we want something more than thrills In our patriotism; we want tnought. we want intelligence. "We need not vast extent of terrl tory. not great population, not simply extraordinary statistics of National wealth, although they speak in elo quent words of energy and managing ability, but what we need more-than anything else is an intelligent compre- nension 01 me ideals of democracv. Those ideals are that every man shall have a fair and equal chance accord ing to his talent. It is not an ideal of democracy that one alone shall emerge because of conspicuous ability, but that there shall be a great advance of the plain people, of the country upon whom the prosperity of the country de pends. "We deplore every condition in which we find man lower than he should be " tinder a free government. We want vlo tories of democracy that the level of success shall be raised. Dream of America Defined. "My dream of America is America represented in public office by its best men men working entirely for the good of the Republic and according to the laws and ordinances established by the people for the government of their conduct, and not for ti.eir personal or political desires and ambitions; Amer ica working her institutions as they were intended to be worked, with men whose sole object shall be to secure the end for which their offices were de signed. I "If one will throw his personal fortune to the winds; if he will perform In each place, high or low, the manifest obligations of that place, we will, soon have those victories of democracy s; i-'fif-." ,"" it : .1 mi r--:- r- i ; x ' N S .y 'f n Top Salmon Brown, Son of John Brown, Famoun Abolitionist. Bot tom Sirs. Brown, to Whom Mr. Brown Haa Been Married Almost 60 Y ears. VfGOROUS at the' age of 80 years Is the mind of Salmon Brown, son of John Brown, whose anti-slav ery methods used at Harpers Ferrj', Va.. in 1859, led to his execution on a charge of treason, and the popular refrain which runs: John Brown's body lies a-mould'ring in the grave. But his soul goes marching on. Salmon Brown is a resident of Port land, and, with his wife, who is young at the age of 77 years,' his daughter and her family, live at 2024 East Couch street. There is not a line indicating ill health in . the face of Salmon Brown and the only reason why he is kept from getting out into his garden and working among the flowers is the fact that he is crippled from a fall he had from a wild horse mora than 35 years ago. , His mind is so clear that he can recall in detail the activities of 'his father and himself before the Civil War. .His eix-foot, 200-pound person ality is impressive with the. spirit of the pioneer. He recalls trying days of the Kansas-Missouri border . warfare during the time the slavery proponents were endeavoring to settle Kansas as a slavery state against the wishes and actions of the abolitionist settlers with a sparkle in his eyes and a firmness in his speech. He likes to -tell of those stirring days when Lawrence was sacked and of the - activity of his father at Osawatomie. The mention of the name of his father is made with a respect that has grown with the yeara. Sons Die With Father.' Salmon Brown was associated with his father in Kansas, but was. not with him at Harpers Ferry. "One of the boys had to stay at home," said Mr Brown yesterday. "That lot fell to Salmon. Three of John Brown s sons were with him at Harpers Ferry, two of them being killed and the third, Owen, dying in. the late 80e. Salmon Brown lived in Ohio during the early part of his life, but removed to. Alassachusetts and then to North Klba. N. Y before his marriage in 1857 to the woman who still is with him. He worked in the Adirondack woods for aw-hile and hewed from them his home and his living. When the Civil War began he waa asked by Colonel Fairman, of the Nin-ty-sixth New York Infantry, to com plete the complement of men needed to fill out the regiment. With the snow four feet deep and the drilling going on at Plattsburg under severe weather conditions, he was given commission as second lieutenant of Company K and . went out after re. cruits. Working under the hard con ditions, he succeeded in recruiting up the company and returned to Plattfi- burg with the needed number. There had been some dissension among members of the regiment, pai- ticuiarly among a few of the line or ficers, over Brown. They were afraid that the. New York Ninety-sixth, par utuiany company iv. wouui De a ho:- cial target for rebel bullets because r.t the head of the company was the jon of "John Brown, so they handed Colonel Fairman a petition asking for the resignation of the lieutenant. Colonel Fairman declared that he would resign the command of the reel ment before he would have anything to ao with tne affair. However. Lieuten ant Brown prevailed upon Colonel i airman to accept his resignation. Pacific Lures Brownn. In 1863 Mr. Brown, with other mem" bers of his large family, started ,u California. They stayed in Indiana through the ..Winter, thinking th8 farming there would receive their at tention for several years. But the lure or California was too strong and the arrived there in 1864. Mr. Brown wa in that state for 30 years, most of th time being spent in sheepraising. After he had lost 8000 out of a ban of 14.000 sheep In Humboldt County i the snowy Winter of 1893. Mr. Brow removed to Oregon, coming first t balem. He came to Portland in 1902. Despite his obvious political connec. tlons. he admits having a few friend among those of opposed political view tie is intimately acquainted with Sen ator Harry Lane, with a relative o wnom, Jim Lane, he 'was associated 1 the Kansas trouble in 1865. Although he has lived through som ui i ne most epocn-maKlng of Amerir-a history and has been a pioneer in spiri iiiuol oi nis me, ne asserted with prid yesieroay mat ne nad never been i Jail a day In his life." although he ad mitted that other people had, in early days, often wished him there. The couple live with their daughter and son-in-law. Mr. and Mrs. George Evans. Mrs. Evans before her mar riage was a student at Cornell Univer sity and for five years taught in the Portland public schools. Suffragist Interrupting - Address Willi Question Is Suppressed by Secret Service Men and Led Away by Police. WASHINGTON", July 4. President Wilson today dedicated "to common counsel and a common understanding" Labor temple erected here as the new home of the American Federation of Labor. He told a large audience gathered at the dedicatory exercises that the greatest barrier to industrial peace had been the difficulty of insuring- candid and dispassionate confer ence, and that "getting- our fighting blDod up" was "the long way and not the short way" of securing rights. The President's address was inter rupted twice by a woman suffragist who sought to hackle him regarding his opposition to a National suffrage amendment. She was silenced by se cret service . men and finally taken away by the police. The Congressional Union announced tonight that the effort was only the first step in a new campaign to impress Democratic leaders with the advisabil ity of passing the amendment at this session of Congress. President Pleads for Calmness. Mr. Wilson's plea for calm counsel brought repeated applause from the crowd, who apparently interpreted It as having an indirect bearing on the Mexican crisis. The President, how ever, did not refer to Mexico or any other foreign country by name. The way we generally strive for right," he said, "is by getting our fighting blood up, and I venture to say that it is the long way and not the short. If you come at me with your fists doubled, I think I can promise you that mine will double as fast as yours; but if you come at me and say, 'Let us sit down and take counsel together and, if we differ with one another, understand why It is that we differ. Just what points are at issue. we presently will find that we are not so far apart after all, that the points in which we differ are few and the points on which we agree are many, and that if we only have the patience and the candor and the desire to get together, we will get together. Woman Shoots Interruption. The President scarcely had begun to speak when the first interruption came. The questioner. Miss Mabel Vernon, of the Woman s party, was standing only a few feet from him and when he de clared that in his position he was not permitted to think of any one class of persons, she shouted: "If you truly desire to serve all classes, why do you block the National suffrage amend ment now before Congress? Four mil lion women in this country- " The hite House secret service men made their way to Miss Vernon and quickly silenced her. She tried un successfully . to . induce them to eject her from the crowd. When she again sought to interrupt the President a few minutes later, however, city police led her away from the speaker's stand. She was not arrested. The President apparently was undis turbed by the incident. He paused upon the first question and turned to look at Miss Vernon, who stood with Miss Alice Paul and Miss Maud Younger, members of the Congressional Union, but paid no heed to the second inter ruption. Iiobor Held Not Commodity. Nothing that . the President said aroused such enthusiasm as his praise of that section of the Clayton act de Glaring that labor is not a commodity. "I am sorry," he said, "that there were any judges in the .United States who had to be told that. It is so ob vious that it seems to me that th section of the Clayton act were a re turn to the primer of human liberty but if judges have to have the primer opened before them, I am willing to open it." Referring to the display of American flags carried by the union workers in a parade which he had reviewed aa part of the exercises, the President de clared the flag always should recall America's duty In serving the world "America, he said, did not come Into existence to make one more great nation In the family of nations, to show its strength and to exercise mas tery. America opened her doors to everybody who wanted to be free and to have the same opportunity that everybody else had to make the most of his faculties and his opportunit and America will retain its greatness only so long as it retains and seeks to realize those ideals. No man ought to suffer injustice in America. No man ought in America to fail to see the deep dictates of humanity." Mrs. Wilson, Vice-President Marshall and several members of the Cabinet attended the exercises. Secretary Wil son, of tho Labor Department, was master of ceremonies. which will make the Fourth of July in its coming years a far finer and nobler day than it has ever been in the fortunate 'years of the past' CORT MAY WANT HE1LIG VAIDEVILLE PROPOSAL IS SIDERED POSSIBLE. cosr- Theatrlcal Producer Is to Arrive Portland Today for Conference With Playhouse Owner. in Whether or not the Heilirr Theater is to be devoted to vaudeville under - a coast-to-coast plan projected by John Cort and William Morris may be de cided during a conference between Calvin Heilig and John Cort today. Mr. Hellig received a telegram last night from Mr. Cort saying he would arrive in - Portland today, and, while Mr. Heilig has had no intimation of the new Vaudeville plan, except through newspaper dispatches, he pre sumes that Mr. Cort will present his proposition today. "If Mr. Cort wishes to put on high class vaudeville in Portland, I will most certainly co-operate with him. butit may not be in the present Heilig house," said Mr. Heilig last night. "I have Just commenced showing first class moving pictures in my house, and if they score the success present signs indicate I shall retain them They certainly will continue for the balance of the Summer. "We have made bookings for a num ber of road productions of the legiti mate character- for next Winter, but hardly enough as yet for the full sea son. It. may be that I will co-oprate with Mr. Cort showing the legitimate shows at the present Heilig and stag ing the Cort-Morrls vaudeville run at another Portland house." AMATEUR YEGGMEN WORK Store of Beebe & Co. Broken Into, but Safe Is Not Opened. Amateur- yeggmen broke into the store of Beebe & Co., at 186 Morrison street, some time Monday night and made a bungling job of an attempt to rob a safe. . . - The yeggs hammered the knob off the safe and then, apparently fright ened, made their escape. The depreda tions were not discovered until last night, owing to the fact that yes vy was a holiday. MURD0CK T0BE FETED Reception to Be Given for Xoletl Kansan on Saturday.

Help us to HOLD DOWN - Tire Prices t; f. IRES, and GASOLENE, "make the Wheels go round!" A Car in the Garage COSTS as much as a Cax-on-the-Road, but it THivs no dividends, on the Investment, so loner as it STAYS in. tne irarage. The VALUE of the Car, to its Owner, narrows down, in the ultimate, to the precise number of Hours he USES that Car, yearly. If a $2,000 Car be owned for, say, 4 years (then sold for $600.) there has been $1,400 of Car-Value absorbed by the Owner, equal to, say, $350. per year. If then, that Car be USED 913 Hours in the year, it would cost him but 33 CENTS per Hour, for Car-Use. . - But, if he used it only HALF that number of Hours, yearly, the Car would cost him 100 MORE for every Hour he used it. How MUCH he uses it will depend, to a considerable extent, upon the PRICE oTIRES and GASOLENE. J1113 was me of the reasons why we (Jan. 31st, 1915) inaugurated the Goodrich V FAIR-LIST" Propaganda against High-prices, and Padded-Price-Lists, on Tires.
