Salem slogan pagea of The States
man of next Thursday.
The queen of all flowers is made a braid and border, in Bam
Simpson's poetic language, for miles of walks and no city in America
or the world can rival Salem as a city of flowers, which distinction
is given us by these matchless parkings so hastily condemned by
Mr. Weed, :
The Salem Floral Society is making a drive for 5000 members,
at one dollar each, to be expended on beautiful shrubbery, for odd
and neglected corners of our city now lying wild and unimproved.
But we may rest assured that Caroline Testout, our glorious
shawflower; wilt nctte disturbed but will preside along our streets
in increasing displays. The state and the city and county deserve
credit for co-operating with citizens.
The school district could do a great deal more in beautifying
the school grounds. .
Having voted Salem the Gladiolus City, there are still four to
six weeks to set out the bulbs of this noble Roman show flower, and
thousands should be .planted. Bulbs can still be bought from such
growers as Crissey at Bull Run, Diener at Kentfield, California, and
.others.;- '' . .'!'-' . '

(American Economist.)
The following letter, which was
sent fcy Fred M. Haslam. of Fred
Haslam it Co.. to several United
States senators, illustrates the seri
ous menace which confronts the sur
gical' Instrument industry which was
deTeloped during and on account of
the war. It is universally conceded
that dyestuffs should hate adequate
protection as a , measure of Justice
and as a measure of national pre
paredness in ease of another war.
There are exactly the same reasons
why the surgical instrument indus
try should . receive , adequate pro
tection, .a fact which we believe
fully recognized by the congress.
Mr, Ilaslam'a; letter, which covers
the situation very fully, reads as fol
lows:
' J have just received a letter from
cne of oar western traveling men
and he Is very much put out be
cause his salea are falling off. He
states that his competitor from the
Kny-Scheerer Co. states that they
lave 1500,600 worth of goods from
Germany and that they will soon
reach the 12,000,000 mark.
Mlf something is not done qulcklr
with tariff bill H. R. 785.N a great
victory will have been won by the
Germans and why this should be 1
a puttie. We hope that the senate
fully realizes the situation.

cars from this date on, to anywhere near supply the demand.
Unless the railroad situation clears within the next few days new cars will be something
