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. '
SEWING OR READING
B artificial light is a strain on the eyes and unless oncV'
eye's are unusually strong the effect is more or less disas
trous to the eyesight.
If your eyes feel tired or your head aches tifter sewing or
reading it would be well for you to consult an optpmetrist.

be possible for a traveler to carry
a small flask from his pi irate stock
without being lynched when hi
breath showed taint thereof.
In cases where liquor has been sold
the burden of proof is on the gov-
e:nment to show that the -stuff con
tains more than :the half of 1 per
cent of alcoholic content permitted
by the law. The government, how
ever. Is protected by the Tfpilrement
that the manufacturer on Ms part
mut furr.irh proof that his output
does not contain a greater per cent
than this maximum. ,
This leaven rijthfr Interesting
This leaves a rather Interesting
field open for the middleman or boot
legger. J
Deforc this thing is over it may
be necessary to amend the act to
stipulate that all bootlegger shall
be shot at sunrise instead of being
half-shot the night Wfore. j
With sundry loopholes left open It
is appareui that the warld is not
to be 'as bone-dry as some have
hoped for or expected.
But it is well on the way and
the United States will continue to
be the leaJer in this procession, as
In all other movements to make the

How would the member's of the

elaborate torture chamber, with all
modern and ancient devices, was
fitted ovt in the cellars of the new
parliament buildings and in a pal
ace basement situated under the
main thoroughfares. 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. It is well
to remember that r.ullitt, lauded so
highly by 'Hiram Johnson in , his
speeches, was .one of t them.
