France. Jan. 31. 191.
"Sometime ago before the early
.afternoon editions nf the IHble went
to press, some le.tdln,g citizen of
Judea (possibly thr mayor of that

so do I believe with equal lntensly
and fervor that when It comes to tfc'c

rumors of wars (correct) that Salem
almost has the army Itself lashed to
the mast and calling for help.
"As Instances I might o'tiote re

manner In which he presides' over

at (deleted by censor.) Neither did
a hundred and one things happen U
us that Salem people think have
happened. In the worts of the
street 'Where did you get Chat stnff ?
If all had transpired that Salem peo

ten or twelve mortal wounds to the

upon the ' daily promenade of the
honkerlng Kero.
Some Things. Ikm't Happen.
"When you run out of stu.'f for
your comic 'thlnrs that never hap

Salem people concerning Company

"Salem should content Its serene
tnd charming old self with the as
surance that we are doing remark
ably well when we consider t.bt we
tre players fn this wondrous game
f war. Ry remarkably well, I rn'ia
that we are well fed (always the
most important consideration, ai'd
he authority for which Is eontalnel
in a statement of N. Bonaparte in
referring to the manner In which an
army marches), that we are well
clothed -and that we hae rood places
to sleep. Greater good fortuno than
this, no reasonable soldier I should
say no 'real soldier should or does
expect.
"To be sure, everything is not ex
actly as comfortable as It Is at home,
but neither does home, on the other
hand, provide some of the Interest
ing features of this life.
"We had a bit o' adness In the
death of Paul Rich, who died Mon
day, Ja-pary 28, of measles compli
cated with bronchial pneuomnia. 1
never knew him before we were
called out. We buried him yester
day, the services being conducted by
y. M. C. A. workers. He Is the
second man we hare lost, the other
being George Rardin, who died at
Vancouver , while we were at The
Dalles., Roth were good boys. Poor
Rardin. he would have liked to come

"I wish I had yoar command of
French. As I remember your pro
nunciation, you could have got on
very well with Louis and Lucien and
some of the other kids that come
around. I am sure you would have
enjoyed talking to them and espe
cially hearing them sing. Lucien. in
particular has a voice. He and Louis
are brothers who have a fearful and
wonderful hard luck story (it may
be true.) They are garbed in the
most bizarre and begrimed collection
of cast-off American and French mil
itary and civilian clothes. I have evr
seen. Lucien is Jhe yoonser and is
as beautiful as a cherub and as hard
boiled as a New York street urchin,
which same is some hard-boiled.
Likewise, he Is dirty. Dirty As only
a French youngster can be dirty. You
who are accustomed to kids acquir

"The reason I like Safem so much
Is that when 1 came here from New

pelled to remain In the city over
Sunday and after vanderlng around
from my hotel a few blocks I finally
entered the Presbyterian church, and
after the service one of the members
came up to me In the vestibule and
eaid:
" "1 see that you are a stranger In
the city, and are always glad to
welcome strangers here, and we hope
that you will always make yourself
at home in our church whenever you
are in town.' "

Indiana Lady Describes Condition,
Which She Says Was Due To
Constipation and Tells of
Relief Obtained From
Black-DrasghL
Scottsburg, Ind. Mrs. Annie Johnson,
of this place, writes: "I well remember
I suilered for a tLa time with constipa
tion, which would get me down. I took
doctors' medicires and any number of
purgatives. They would leave me In a
worse condition than I was before taking,
and my stomach so upset ... I know
once I suffered . . . from constipation, 1
was so ill we hsd to hare the doctor, just
so nervous and feverish. The doctor
said I would have to quit medicines, oiy
stomach was so tad ...
My husband was reading and found
something about Thedtord's Btack
Draught and brought me a package to
try. I used it regularly at first until I be.
Ran to feel better, then 1 used fust a dose
occasionally. 1 was cured of this con
stipation and am sure the Iilack-Draught
did it." .
If your stomach is out of order, you
will suffer from such disagreeable symp
toms as headache, biliousness, indiges
tion, etc., and unless something is done,
serious trouble may result.
Thedtord's Black-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It Is purely vegetable, and
acts in ss prompt and natural way, help
lug to regulate the liver and to cleanse
the bowels of impurities.

Professor Joseph K Hart of Reed
college, Portland, wll.' give an a1
dress tonight at 7:30 ut Willamette
university chapel on the platform of
the Dritish Labor party -as published
In the New Republic of February 16,
last. In Its editorial foreword 1 10
Xew 'Republic says It Is "the molt
mature and carefully formulated pro
gram ever put forth by a responsible
political party." r.octor Hart speak
under the aurplce- of the loct.l Al
liance for Labor and Democracy. Ad
mittance is free and the public Is
Invited. j
The program of the laboring forc
es of KnglandTvrfiTfh has already
been widely ratified throughout Ku
rope. Is believed by many to fore
shadow a movement toward wcrld
democracy second oily to the var
Itself. That it will ra'.ly the working
people to the standard of democracy
with more enthusiasm than iny In
centive heretofore offered, la the pre
diction of 'local students of social
problems and lobar leaders gener
ally. ':
The attitude and position of labor
in Great Britain Is thus described
by the New Republic:
"When the war broke out a.larg
percentage of Uritish radicals had
become skeptical of the attempt" to
ameliorate the condition of labor by
the use of political agencies. This
disposition has been changed as a
result of the war. In fact, consider
ing the disintegration which, as a
result of the war, has taken place
In traditional liberal and conserva
tive parties, the labor party can b
characterizedwlthout exaggeration a
characterized without exaggeration
as the most powerful organised force
in the United Kingt'om excepting
only the state. Tills rests chief
ly upon the power which a modem
war necessarily places In the hands
of the wage-earning cl.iss, in so far
as it is united, well Informed ant'
knows Its own mind. The, HritUh
trade unions have used the strength
of their strategic positions to in
crease wages. Improve working con
ditions and to Introduce the begin
ning of constitutionalism into Indus
try, but they have not abused their
great opportunity. They have treat
ed the Uritish state during Its period
of Jeopardy with far more considera
tion than the British state ever treat
ed them during their pericd of. dis
tress and weakness. Ir adopting
such a course they have done more
to improve their status than they
would have don if they had been
extortionate and rigorous in tbeir
demands." t
The platform which constitutes
the theme of Dr. allarfs address
tonight. Is the result of many con
ferences and discussions covering
practically the entire period of th?
war to date, and is- therefore the
first authentic and general declara
tion of the laboring forces as to their
hopes and purposes in the great con
flict.
