' Rights Held Guarded. : The principal attack on the v resolution was based by Demo- t crats on the ground that It did not properly protect American 1 rights, and that the United States ; In attempting to negotiate a treaty . with Germany and her ally wouli sit down with feet and hands tied .

ENTIRE SKIPPED WHITE RECEIVES NOTE FROM GALBRAITH WRITTEN BEFORE LEGION COMMANDER'S DEATH Announcement That Adjutant Holies Would Come to Oregon Contained in Posthumous Communication Excerpt Shows That Welfare of Disabled Was Uppermost in Thought A tragic reminder of the un certainty of life reached Salem yesterday in the form of a letter from F. W. Galbraitli. Jr.. late na tional commander of the American legion, outlining his future plans for the legion and announcing that Lemuel Holies, national ad- j jutant of the legion, would repre- sent him at the Oregon convention ' of the state organization to- be held at Eugene early in July. j The letter was written the day before Mr. Galhraith met death in an automobile accident at Indian- : n polls.

The rim doesn't work worth a cent; yeast may work without any help, and so will taxes and death; but who wants to bo any of these three? a yeast cake, or a hated tax certificate, or old Father Time with his tiresome scythe? When the Salem public library wanted to get itself into the hands of the people .of Salem, It secured a librarian to take the library and itsi possibilities to the public schools. The librarian is an ad visor, a book peddler, a literary booster and advertiser who aims to make the library more attractive than gum or beaux or movies. The attempt has been eminently suc cessful, as the following interest ing report of the school librarian made to the Horary board, last night by Alice M. Waldron, school librarian, rill show: S TO AT At a meeting of the state fair Loard yesterday a decision was reached to put on the horse show again at tbe state fair for this year, in September, Although-J. D. Farrcll is no longer a member of the board, it is believed his support for the show can bo oli talned. and he will be asked to direct the show. Mr. Farrcll owns some of the best animals that have been ex hibited at the show. One of the flue animals was lost recently in the disaster that befell the steam ship Governor In the Pacific.

That the welfare of the nation'.- disabled veterans was uppermost in hla mind the day before his tr.itric death, was shown by Mr. Galbraith's letter which said: lisalltl Carefully Watched 'Time and again I have ven tured away to be called back more peremptorilly to Washington by an unexpected turn in the situa tion there.

"How to supply reference books to a great number of classes In the high school doing the same work, without purchasing duplicate cop ies of books, has been one of the chief concerns of the school li brarian this year.

The result is variously re ported; that there was not a sin gle unattached person: that there was one, and they carried him around and he said he liked it and would make good before leav ing the university.

Wash., wired Mrs. Martha Moller, who resides at Canby, Or., that Harold Schayden had been killed in a railroad wreck on Saturday near Lebam, Wash. In the pocket of the man was an identification card, asking that in cabe of accident Mrs. Moller be notified. Schayden and Mrs. Moller were engaged to be mar ried early in July, so Mrs. Moller started after the body of her sup posed fiance. ' Hy error she boarded an As toria frain at Portland, and when the error was db:coered the left the train here. Mrs. Moller then phoned to the lumber camp to ascertain if Schayden was known there. Re ceiving an affirmative replyshe said: "Send him to St. Helens in medialely." Instead of Schayden coming in a box ho will arrive well and happy and wondering why he had been called. IJoth were overcome with Joy at the reunin. The wed ding date was put forward and Justice of Peace Hazen tied the nuptial knot today. it is sup posed that a fellow workman of Schayden's found the identifica tion card of the bridegroom and had it on his person when he was killed.

National Capitol Visited. Upon arrival in New York City. May 4, they left immediately for Washington, D. C. to get informa tion of the Danish consul, O. Sor ensoii, who is an old time friend of theirs. Mr. Sorenson outlined a route for them to follow which was supposed to' cover the leading agricultural colleges and farming districts of the United States. Evidently Mr. Sorenson has not been well posted as neither Ore gon nor its agricultural college had been mentioned to the trav ellers, whereas both the Califor nia agricultural farm at Davies and Washington State college at Pullman ' had been highly recom mended. It was not until they ar rived at Silverton that they real ized that Oregon and the Oregon Agricultural college were import ant features of the United States map. Waldo Hill Traversed. The visitors were taken on a sight seeing tour through the Waldo htlls and over Howell Prairie. On returning to Silver- ton they remarked that so far they had seen nothing in the states that could compare favor ably with the Waldo hills and the country lying between Silverton and Salem. In speaking of the states in gen eral Mr. Larsen remarked that he found conditions here entirely foreign to what he had been led o expect. He went on to say: "Tho hospitality of the Ameri can people to strangers is sur prising. A great many visitors must come to this country. How- can the people find time to enter tain thtm as we have found they do? Farming Methods Different. 'The farming methods are far different from those of the Scandi navian countries," said Mr. Nane son. "Here you have special farms for beef rattle, special farms for dairying and special farms fo poultry, hi Kurope we do not think ft well to specialize so much. Kim land is beginning to specialize but we Scandinavians think generalization better." Other things they remarked about was the amount of Fpace the American uae for roads and sidewalks, the lack of really kept forests: and the American cows i which they observed as being ho much larger than the Kuropean cows. f HsjMinlMl in Indians. "Only one thing," said Mr. Lar sen. h;ve we hern disappointed in. and that was the American In dian. All our lives we have heard ;uid read and seen pictures of the American Indians . Now we have traveled once across your country without seeing one Indian resem bling the pictures we have seen of them in Kurope."
