SALEM'S STREET RAILWAY SYSTEM The accident on Monday morning last, in which T. L. Billingsley, the superintendent of the Salem street railway system, suffered se vere and gainful injuries and all but lost his life, served to call the . attention of at least one Salem eitizen to the fact that Salem has - a splendid street railway system for a city of '-its size, and this Salem citizek told the writer that The Statesman ought to say so. '; And he is right. There are not many accidents, year in and year out, on the street railway lines of Salem. j I They are splendidly manned, with good and careful motormen. i The tracks are kept in good order, with efficient crews const&nt- - 1 v at work on them. i The ears are kept painted the right shade of cherry red, for the Cherry City of the World, i The machinery is kept in order. There are twelve miles or more' of lines in operation, j The cars are very generally on schedule time. j The men on the cars are polite and attentive and decent. And the fare is only 5 cents. ' That is about the only thing that has not been'raised in price in Salem.

Charley Coniiskey, owner of the White Sox, is a graduate of the fa mous Kerry Patch in St. Louis; his canager, "Kid" (William) Glsason, sprang from the loins of a son of the Emerald Isle; and Pat Moran, chief of th6 Reds, in early days was an apprentice of the Hod Carriers' Uhion at Pittsfield, Mass., and shouts for home rule for Ireland Now it is reported that, with both sides eager to take the. vote on the geat covenant, the crucial ballot can be reached by November 1.

The luckless suspects would be . dragged out , of their beds and aren to one cf the places at dead of night. One favor ite method of torture was to fix p jrag in t.e mouth of prison,?. so th-t his jaw rmalned wide or- en, while a lighted match was held in, his mouth until the victim cither confessed knowledge of counter-rev-olutionary plans, or agreed to pay a large sum of money. "J"is favor'fv method, however, was to trlng a prisoner into a room where various portions of the hu man 'ruiy, uch as rcfc, tyes, lips and ears, which had been cut -off previous victims, were lying on the table. The victim was then given a choice of form of dismemberment, providing no money was forthcom ing. Police records show more than 00 died under torture. Every night a cart called for the corpses which were weighted and slung into the Danube. . . Corvin admits that as long as a year ago plans for this tenor.ism were laid in Moscow, with the active help of Lenine and Trotsky.".. When one reflects that these atroci ties were committed by the soviet leaders in the nameof the law, that they were part of a program of ter ror approved by Lenine and Trotsky, one begins to realize the caliber of the men who sought to have this country recognize the Bolshevist government of Russia.

Hood's Sarsaparllla has mode thou, sands healthy and strong, by purify ing and enriching the blood, curing diseases of the stomach, liver and kidneys, restoring appetite, relieving that tired feeling in a word, by building1 up the whole system. Its record of cures of blood diseases, scrofula, salt rheum or eczema, psor iasis, pimples, boils and other erup tions, catarrh, dyspepsia and rheu matism is in thousands of letters vol untarily and gratefully written and forming a colossal volume of testi mony.
