CONTRACTS EXPRESS OR IM PLIED. THERE are throo things necessary to mako a contract. Thoro must be parties, a subject matter and a consideration. Tim consideration need not necessarily bo money. It may bo of that claHS known as "facio et facias," or brought down into ov eryday common printer's English, "T will do this if you will do that." In other words a promise mado in consid eration of another promise. It is this class of contract that is mado between the pooplo and an official, when the formor elects the latter. The candi date says to the pooplo: "If you will eloct mo to the office I seek, I will, to the bost of my ability, per form tho duties of that office for the term for which I am elocted, and for the salary you aro now paying for such services. ' When tho people, act ing upon this promise, elect tho can didate, tho contract is completed. By its terms tho people are bound solidly. They cannot go back on it, and remove tho officer, so long as ho conducts the office properly. Is this contract all one sided t Is one party bound and the other notf If the people cannot sot tho contract aside, can the other party t True, the people can consent, can accept the resignation, but suppose the people through the proper officials, should re fuse to accept the resignation, can the other party to tho contract set it aside ami refuse to carry out his part of itt 1h ho not legally bound as well ns mor ally, to carry out his part of the con tract just ns firmly ns tho oilier party, the people, nro to stand by their prom ises! This dissertation is suggested by the present position of State Superintend ent, of Public. Instruction Alderman, and tho statement that he may resign to accept a position in Portland. The people of Iho stato elected Mr. Alder man nt his own request and are pretty well pleased with their job, They like tbe way hn has mannged the office ami have no desire to see him quit. They are icady to fulfill their part of the contract, noxious to do so, nnd they do ndt want to lose tho services Mr. Alder man contracted to deliver them. It may be the supcriiilondoncy of Port land schools is more remunerative than the state office; as lo Hint wo do not knew; but, is Hull sufficient reason to .justify the hrcnliing of Mr. Alderman's contract by him? It depends on wheth er a man looks al it from the viewpoint of duly or salary, and Superintendent A 1 1 1 1 r mn it will, we believe, make a se rious mistake if he abandon the larger f.elil he is so ably filling for one of smaller possibilities for good oil his part, lie will find he has traded off his picture for a cow. EASTER SUNDAY. TOMOIlliOW the (li rist inn world celebrates latter, a day second only in tho hearts of Christ inns to Christinas, and indeed by iniinv utid- ered of equal iinportaure. The panic is derived from the (Ionium goddess of Spring, Ostein, but the incut it com memorates, is the crowning net In the great sacrifice, Christmas coinmcnin rates the reining of the Savior of the world, the Son of (iod into the world. Master is kept in memory of the resnr rectioii, nnd His departure from the world, victorious over death, triumph ant over the grave His work accom plished. There is no more pathetic story on record than thai of Jesus, ami roitainly none that can nppromh it, in the sim ple grandeur of the In-1 linys of his stay on earth, when with his disciples, I; LADD & BUSH, Bankers j I TRANSACTS A (JEJiKIIAL 11ANKIN0 M'SIM'SS.

There, as Jesus had prophesied, Judas betrayed, thero Peter denied him, and thern seiz ed by tho rabble. Ho was taken before Caiaphas, tho high priost, and by him nnd tho Scribes and Elders condemned to death for blasphemy. Then followed the degradation, tho crucifixion, the mocking crown of thorns, tho vile jibe, and then tho end. Ves, it was the end of the mortal, for the mortal had put on immortality. Tho Son of God had suffered death, hnd gono down into tho grave, taking with him the sins of mnn, and ho came from tho grave again that first glorious Easter morn, bearing the redemption of the world in his hands. And so today, In memory of that great sacrifico, of that great promise fulfilled, of that immortal hope, given by him to man of lifo eternal in that "pnlacc not builded with hands, eternal in the heavens," tho Christian world pays homago and reverence. ONE BROTHER HANGED ANOTHER IS INSANE fleorgo Roberts, brother of Jnck Rob erts, who was hanged at tho state peni tentiary December 1.1, 1012, was brought to tho stato hospital for the in snno yesterday, having been adjudged insane at Oregon City. His brother, Jnck Roberts, wns executed for the mur der of Donald Stewart, and fleorge Hast ings, on tho White House road, near Portland. The resemblnnro of fleorgo Roberts to the man who wns Imaged is said to be striking, lie Is 'a'ler, nnd of some what lightes build, but the facial fea tures are said to bo very similar. This is not his first commitment to nn In sane asylum. Only a few weeks ngo he wns released from the nsylum in Idaho. Upon leaving tl.nt Institution he went to tho home of his mother, nenr Port land, nnd begun work on tho farm. He became dissntisfied with tho pay given him, nnd about a week ago took a sud den notion to leave. He left the farm at midnight, taking clothing nnd other articles with him. For several days he roamed tho country until his nctinns were noticed by neighbors, who hnd him taken Into custody nnd exninined as to his sanity. His commitment to the nsy lum followed. Roberts is 27 venrs old. THE PLAYGROUND , ASSOCIATION MEETS At a special meeting of the Salem Children's Playground Association, held yesterday, it was decided that the work a implished by the association last year will be greatly elaborated upon this year. Committees were named to wait, upon the city council nnd the mem bers of the school board, with a view to piecuring en -operation on the part of these bodies with the association. Last year the playgrounds were main tained upon the athletic field of Wil lamette I'niversity, but this year it is proposed to have the grounds on the athletic field of the Salem high school. Secretary Weir, of the National Play grounds Association, will deliver an ad dress in Salem on April 1 nt a general meeting to be hell on that date. Last year .1(1 Salem citieus put up .t'.IO each to finance the grounds. This year there will be additional employe on the grounds, nnd a greater amount of men e will be necessnrv. The first logs from the How river watershed, recently purchased by the P. S. Legging Co., of Cottage drove, will reach that city within two weeks. Somehow the majority of out good deeds never get found out. -...f-f 44.4 Roots, Barks, Herbs Carefully ..elocted at tho seasons of their greatest medicinal value, are skilfully combined with other valuable ingredients in Hood's Sarsaparilla Making it in our opinion, the strongest nnd safest, the most successful, and tho most widely useful medicine for the Blood, Stomach, Liver and Kidneys It contains not only Sarsaparilla, but those great ALTERATIVES, Slillingia and Klue Flag; those great ANTI-MLIOUS and LIVER remedies, Mandrake nnd Dandelion; those great KIDNEY remedies, Uva Ursi, Juniper Hemes and I'ipsi.ssewa; those great STOMACH TOXIC'S, Gentian Hoot and Wild Cherry Bark; and other valuable curative agents, just those remedies prescribed by best physicians.

A few days ago while walking through tho Odd lellows' cemetory south of Salem, I noticed for the first time '.he following inscription: "SAMCKL M'KOHKRTS." "Horn in lnnvillo, Illinois, hecember 1.1, IS 15, "Died ill Salem, Oregon March -1, ISO I." When I rend this my mind reverted to ii'iidcnts which occurred ninny years ago wi.cn, as a small lad, I attended the obi institute located where the' gymna sium of the Willamette university now stands. I rend and re-rend tho ill Hciipii in with much interest. I did not n i iembi 1 his resting p'nee until I saw this monument. How few thero nro liv ing in Snlem who remember Sniiiuel McRoberts. "Sam" Mclioberts, ns hj was familiarly called by the students, was several years older than myself. Jt is slrange how this young mnn's indi- 'duality seemed tu interest me. My leuieiubrnnce of him Is soniwhnt indis tinct, but his personality hjis impressed itself upon my mind so much that I have never forgotten him. When I read the inscription many reminiscences passed through my mind of tho pioneer days of our city and tho many changes which have taken place since ho at tended school, and his death in tho flush of young manhood. My recollec tion of him was that he was a brilliant student, fine athleto and a splendid speaker, lie was unselfish and gener ous. Kind to tho younger boys, My happiness was complete when I wns privileged to run for his ball, hand him a but, and in return for services ren dered receive a pat on the shoulder and liindly words of eneourngement. lie wns my ideal in every way of what n student should be. Many times since he was buried have I thought whnt a success in life he might have achieved with his intellectual qualities, pleasant nnd agreeable manner which he pos sessed. Sam Mclioberts was a cousin of Hon. Charles B. Moores, of Portland, and Messrs. A. N., Ross K and Carl Moores, of Salem. At tho time of which I write many persons knew him well. Nearly all of thorn have solved the problems of this life and passed away from earth nevermore to participate 7n Sty,,'Sh Ml Suits 'j wjl prices mm m' '4 I $9.90 I i j. 11 $12.90 IF YOU WANT STYLE, QUALI TY AND LOW PRICES, COME HERE. - Dress Goods and Silks Thousands of yards of the latest and newest goods shown on the Pacific Coast.

On reading the nbovo inscription I could not help offering a sinull tribute of respect and affection to one who fell early in ifo's battle. The beautiful cemetery where ho is buried overlooks Salem, the peerless city of tho west. From hero 0110 has a delightful view of the Willamette val ley, the garden spot of Oregon.

The chimes of memory keep in mind the iluys of long ngo. Surrounded by friends nnd ncqunint- nmcs nnd those who dearly loved him Samuel Mclioberts passed out to the un' known shore.

A FINE SPECIMEN OF NATION'S GRATITUDE UNITED PUS L4ASin Wl. Reno, Nov., March 22. Baffled in his attempts to get food, owing to the loss of his savings of eight years, amount ing to 320, Lewis C. Schilling, 81 years old, solo survivor of the Alamo massa cre, and adopted son of Kit Carson, was gripped by starvation, and is dend bore today, Shilling passed away in an old shack where he had subsisted on crack ers and water until he could sustain himself no longer. Shilling lost the money on a recent trip to California, and had to borrow coin to return to his shack hero. Shilling was adjutant to General Thil Sheridan in the Civil War. He had a notable career ns a scout and front iersman. It would bo fine to come back and look over the great Willamette valley 100 years hence.
