Washington Junior hlh school, and
Edwin Ranton of the senior j high
school. Several others of surprising

The nrorram was deserving or a
much larger audience, but school
children as well as adults were con
spicuous by their absence, undoubt
edly on account of the prevalence of
influenza. :
The stat ge setting was the! most
elaborate and pleasing of any seen
In Salem for some time. The pic
1 ture of "The Father of His Coun

the beautiful emblem of the society
and the D. A. R. pennant in the na
tional colors of the society, blue and
white, held i conspicuous positions.
Flags, ferns and the plummy acacia
added to the jbeautirui decorations.

Americanization of the Foreigner
Americanization is a great deal
more than a matter of language. A
French immigrant, barely able to
make himself known in broken Eng
lish, may be a truer American than
a selfish old bragger, boasting of
his ancesters coming over on the
Mayflower.
We should treat the Immigrant
the same' as if he were born in Am
erica; but if he is more loyal to an
other country than America, send
to make the immigrant a. good Am
erican citizen, we must be true Am
ericans so they can pattern after us.
I, therefore, believe it is my duty
to my country to love. it. to support
its constitution, to obey its laws, to
resnect its flag, and to defend it
against all enemies.
Herbert Ashby,

The public schools can do many
things in the Americanization of the

should one. work when one did not
have to? Boris felt moved by his
own eloquence. He had convinced
himself quite thoroughly that the
proletariat was being stepped upon,
crushed, mauled brutally! He
clenched his fat fist. "I'll show this
government! I want they should
know who Boris Turgenev is yes!"
Boris felt that at this moment he
could alone overthrow the govern-1
ment and give the proletariat free
dom but was rather vague as to the
way to accomplish his purpose.
"Good morning, friend," came a
voice behind Boris. It was Ivan.
Boris was distant and cold. He felt
that Ivan was not the man to be In
sympathy with his plan. Ivan
worked hard on his farm. Seven
years ago he had come to America.
He had been very poor. He looked
around him. Others were rich. Why
not Ivan Petrovitch? These other
were Americans. Why not Ivan Pet
rovitch? He - took out citizenship
papers and was very proud. His
children had been made Americana
and his wife and he was very
proud. They were now all Ameri
cans. Nine children had Ivan and his
wife. They all went to school and
learned Americanism and citizen
ship. They taught Anna and Ivan
to read and write English and
showed them what Americas freed
om really meant. The war broke
out. .Three sons went into the army.
Anna wept, but Ivan was prouder
than ever. He felt now that he was
truly an American citizen. But he
was not altogether satisfied. He
wanted to learn more. So he and
Ann went to a night school for for
eigners. They were both loyal, stol
id citizens, and now: Ivan knowing
Boris' Idle nature, wanted to help
him, and at last persuaded Boris to
go along with Anna and himself to
the night school.
Boris, after having attended ev
ery evening for two months, began
to feel that perhaps the proletariat
was not being entirely exterminated.
He developed- an insatiable desire
for reading matter. Ivan took his
friend to the library and there Boris
devoured eagerly all the books and
papers provided.
Under Ivan's helpful Influence
and guidance, Boris bought a farm.
He forgot that he. Boris Turgenev.
was going to shake the country to
its very foundations with his elo
quence. He forgot that the prole
tary was being crushed and trodden
upon. He forgot that he hated so
terribly the bourgeoisie, and be

MOXTESANO. Feb. 2 Defense
counsel failed today to introduce
Incontestable proof that Warren O.

alleged I. W. W. are being tried
here, vlas both a party to an alleged
plot of Ontralia businessmen to
raid the I. W. hall and an actual
participant In an elleged raid upon
the hall. That the defense failed to
make this showing and that it could
not continue its present efforts to
prove the alleged conspiracy against
the I. W. W. was indicated Just be
fore court ndjonrned today.
Judge John M. Wilson, virtually
rUrated his rul'nr made Friday,
thar the defense must show Grimm
was a participant to the alleged con
spiracy or the attack, before it pro
ceeds with proof that such a pin
existed or was contemplated. The
court ruled that the defense had
failed to make such a showing to
day. Grimm I Attacked.

day. Objection to this character of
questions Vas objected to lmmedl-
ately by state counsel.
State counsel asserted that no evi
dence had been introduced which
showed an overt act on the part of
Grimm. No evidence to show that
Grimm had been connected with an
alleged conspiracy has been shown,
the state contended.
"The objection Is sustained." ruled
Judge Wilson.
Vanderveer contended that' the de
fense had introduced evidence to
'show that Grimm was shot at a dif
ferent point than that contended by
the state, but court held that he
had failed to show an overt act on
the part of Grimm.
Overt Act Not Shown.
"In order to Introduce this char

said in making the ruling, "you must

that the deceased was a party to the

In every large American city are thousands of
people who do not laugh. They have-forgotten
how. They have almost forgotten how to smile.
To And them, one must go to the slums. There.
In ugly, narrow streets: in littered courts and alleys
and In the shadowed windows of tenement house,
are face that are seldom lightened with laughter
and rarely with smiling.
Why? , .
There Is an answer in the faces. They are marked
with .Jeep, hard lines. And the line are stamped

The answer of the faces is a surface answer. It
Is an effect. And behind every effect Is a cause.
Seeing thee laughter-lea fares, the Protestant
Churches of America waat to know what it Is that
create people who do not laugh. Through the
Interrhurch World Movement, which seeks to make
possible closer co-operation of these churches la
the achievement of their work, they are going be
