This business comes from all over the United States, and a good deal more than half of tffe income is from points outside of Salem; perhaps 75 per cent of it. And nearly all of the in come is expended here. In this respect tnis newspaper com bination has grown into a manufacturing plant oi no mean proportions in contributing to the industrial life of Salem (for newspapers are classified in the census returns as manufac turing concerns), and this combination of newspapers in other ways is doing its part in development work along all lines that contribute to the upbuilding and well being of Salem and the whole state and the entire Pacific Northwest. Connected with The Statesman newspaper institution for it has grown to the stature and dignity of an institution are the Pacific Homestead, we think the greatest Western farm paper; the Northwest Poultry Journal, the "best in the West," and the largest, in its field, and the Oregon Teachers Monthly, the only one of its kind in this state. . The reader will note that the subscription price of the Daily Statesman is $6 a year in Marion and Polk counties, and $7 a year out side, by mail: the Twice-a-Week Statesman $1 a year. The Pacific Homestead is $1 a year; the Oregon Teachers Monthly $1.25 a year, and the Northwest Poultry Journal 75 cents a year. j A considerable portion of the business of The Statesman establishment is in the printing of outside newspapers and general job printing, perhaps 80 per cent of which comes from outside the city of Salem. damn 11 Entered at the Postofflce in Salem, .Oregon, as second class matter. this time.

(Continued next week) 0. HENRY and AL. JENNINGS WELCOME AND ANNIVERSARYEDITION '-: Tha RrAtPsman will in a few weeks enter its seventy first vear of publication. It was established March 28th, 1851, as a weekly newspaper and as a daily in 1861. bo we hava Wn nWsH tn rail this number of The Statesman the Wrlrnme and Anniversary Edition.' "But the main idea is the WplrnmA Mpa runnincr all throueh its pages with the pur firmlv firincr the title. Citv of .Welcome, which was given to Salem some years ago by The Statesman ' 1 AnH at some future time. Derhaps in celebration of its seventy-fifth birthday, or when it attains the youthful age of 100 years, The. Statesman will more fully exploit the an niversary idea; and no doubt this will be the custom at least every 100 years thereafter. . . Salem is trulv the Citv of Welcome- Surrounded by a country of welcome, inviting men of industry and cenius and capital to come here and help in building up the most progressive and prosperous city in the richest country in all the world. Perhaps the best idea of what Salem and the surround inz country have to of f er to the new comer may be gathered by a careful reading of the review in this issue of the fifty two Salem Slogan issues of The Statesman and the writer invites a very careful perusal of this review. These Salem Slogan issues were conducted with a view to showing to the outside world and to our own people the fifty-two outstanding basic industries and interests of Salem and the surrounding country And many of bur people have been surprised ; the Salem Slogan editor among the rest, at the showing. This is well .illustrated by an article in this issue by Prof. C. I. Lewis, manager of the organization department of the Oregon Grow ers' Co-operative Association, who names this the "land of diversity," as well as the land of opportunity. When The Statesman first started the Salem Slogan cam paigns. Prof. Lewis rather objected to the spirit of . the idea, because he is a conservative and he told the Salem Slogan editor then that he was writing constantly with superlatives. The answer of the Slogan editor was that this is a land of superlatives. If the reader will turn to the article of Prof. Lewis, he will find him saying: Our valley welcomes the stranger into the greatest fruit section of the United States." That is surely speaking in superlatives ; but it is speaking the truth. . Having converted ourselves, we may convert the rest of the country and the rest of the world And if the facts contained in this review of a year of the Salem Slogan campaign could be driven home to a suffi cient number of people in this and other countries, there would not be room enough here for the people who would come to balem and the Salem district. We have the surest basis of wealth known to the world to of f er the products of the land that we can produce cheap er ana Deuer than any other section, and that we can process and manufacture and dehydrate and preserve and ship to the lands bordering on all the seven seas - And this is better than diamond or gold or silver or cop per mines, for our soils, under approved methods of acrri. culture, will never run out, but on the contrary will increase in productiveness with the years, while there is an end to every mine; it will pinch out or finally be exhausted. With the country working -with the city, we have a Gib ralter prosperity and growth . .; ; . And, as a matter of fact, with the building of paved roads and with rural mail delivery and telephone service and the light and power lines running into the country further and more generally, no one can tell where the city leaves off and the country begins, and, for trade purposes, Salem is, or will soon be, a city of 100,000 people, including the farmers on the paved roads, instead of a city of 20,000 within the city limits. And it is headed rapidly towards becoming a city of 100 1 000 people within the municipal limits r -. And, again, this is the City of Welcome and the country of welcome.

Mexican Clergy Attack Radicalism in Letters I BITS FOR BREAKFAST ! Work at Hammer Wrecks Big Man. There are some men who are conquered only by death. They will not yield eve'n though life is the penalty for rebellion. Men of thi3 type can no more survive in prison than a free thinking pri vate can in the army. they do not tit in with the crushing d sciptine of penitentiary life. They are marked for quick finish the moment their heads are shaved and their chests hung with a number. The man who will not bend is broken. It is the inevitable law of prison life. The prison guard will not en dure defiance. It whips the beast in him to a frenzy. In the Ohio pen they had a way of eliminating the unruly. The trip hammer at bolt contract "was their neat man ner of execution. Foley the Goat was one of these ineorrigibles. He was more hate ful to the guards than leprosy. They sent him to the trip hammer. The man consigned to that labor Is doomed. There is no rearieve for him.

"He'll get his damn his bewitched eye!" "Who is it?" "Who? Devil take him the Goat, of course. Who else would! dare it? He's got about three months to live, damn him!" Foley was the master pickpock et of Ohio. His nimble fingers, with their ghostly likeness, had gathered a fortune. A mean and paltry profession it seemed to me until I had talked about it to Fo ley. He had as much pride about his "gift" as a musician, or a poet or a train robber has in his. Hut Foley's art was not in the accept ed, curriculum. He was sent up for two years.

' Death was a mighty severe sen tence for Foley. His capital sin was his fearless independence. He would fling back an angry retort to a guard even though he knew that the flesh would be stripped from his back in payment. He was consistent in his defiance. No one ever heard the Goat send up a yell from the basement. It gave him an old reputation in the pen. To the ether prisoners he seemed a man protected by a sort of witchcraft. "He is posesFed of the devil," they would whisper in awed ad miration. "It ain't In flesh and blood to stand it. He's thrown a spell about himself. He don't feel."

The man was neither desperate nor viscious but he did not know bow to cringe when a guard demanded groveling obedience. Foley was an indomit able, angry sort. He could not be subdued and so be was all but He came into the pen weighing 200 pounds. When I saw him he carried but 142 pounds on his six foot frame. He looked more like a wraith than a man. . He had been two months at the trip hammer when his term ex pired. In the bolt contracts this massive instrument was operated by man power. It was a cruel and driving job. For sixty days his arms and legs had been in almost perpetual motion. The big ham mers were pedaled by the feet, small ones by the hand. Sixty days had finished the wreck of Foley's constitution. The .end of his term saved him from death. He was but a shadow when he came into the warden's office for his d'scharge. "I'm finished with the game." there was no surren der in his interpid red-brown eyes. though his voice was but a hoarse shocking whisper and his hands were transparent. "I'm done in," he said without a trace of self pity or regret. "I'm going to wind it up peacefully on the hill where I was born. I've got a few thousand. That'll pay for a funeral. I've had 28 years on this planet that's enough. I'm satis tied my last breath will be a free one!" i Former Primmer Fights Itoycott. Foley reckoned without Cal Crim. He reckoned without the boycott. He, forgot that he was legitimate prey to be hunted down as soon as j his release became knwn. I And so he went about his home city as though h-s were in truth a free man. At the corner of Fifth and Vine streets he discov ered his mistake. - Foley tHd there one night, aimless enough, to be. sure. It was but a Week or so after his discharge; He stood there with his hands in his pockets, waiting. The ex-con was waiting for a lit tle old lady. He was going to take her to a vaudeville show. The little old creature was his aunt. She had raised him. When he came ! out from the pen she iok him back to the little house where he was born. Tonight they were going on a glorious lark. She would be coming along in a few moments.' So Foiey waited. A man raw him standing there. He -ratched and after a while he slouched; up from behind and caught Foley by th- arm. "Hello, Goat, when did you get back?" Cal Crim, a big rougn neck bull in the Cincinnati de partment, leered at Foley. "Hello. Cal." Foley was not suspicious. He had kept his res olution. He had neither ths wish nor the need to steal. "I got back last week.'" t iuh of t.Unt CanMH Tra;ly. "ne?n to h".Td'irtartrs ye?" Crim tichtened his clutch oa Fo ley's skeleton arm. "Not much.

"I ll take you to headquarters?" ! The Goat knew what that meant. He wouldn't .have a chance at that last breath. Once ?t headquarters and conviction was certain. "Let go. you skunk Crim, or I'll kill you!" Foley wrenched himself free and turned on the cop. "Don't bully me, Crim.. You sot nothin' on me. I come cletu Welcome! Thrice welcome!
