She' was as happy as 4 given to their more fortunate brothers j and sisters who will be among the lucky 900 on the grounds at Chemawa during the next school year- n -. f - - And there is another -thing: The Indian; school at Haskell, Kansas, far away from the source of supply of students, of the same class otherwise with the school here at Salem, is allowed two more grades; the eleventh and twelfth. 1 The pupils here at Salem; are allowed training only up to and including the tenth grade; though a late ruling permits them to be maintained at Chemawa while attending high school in Salem which some of them are doing, through the indulgence of our. public school authorities; an indulgence that is worthy and appre ciated. ' j .; '' . U . But what Haskell hns Chemawa is entitled to. There s no good reason for the favoritism shown Haskell this respect. The good people of Salem ought to make themselves heard in season and out of season on this point. The Oregon delegation in Congress ought; not to be given any rest till the eleventh and twelfth grades are added at the Chemawa school. There is nothing tog good for our Indian boys and girls that any other Indian boys and girls in the United States may have.' ; ! . ' For the records our Indian school graduates are making out in the world, they will suffer nothing by comparison with the products of Haskell or any other institution of the kind even though , they are not , given the opportunities that would be afforded by .'the two . higher grades and the addi tional training which many of them would take. . These youngsters here are potential useful and patriotic American citizens. They are industrious and earnest and honest, in the main.' At their country's call to duty, the last one of them Hvouldl respond,' and on the moment. They all, did who were here, for the World war; not a single slacker! among them. Even Ihe physically handicapped boys begged to go and were sorrowful because they could not be taken. Congressman Hawley, Senator . McNary, arid the rest of you, give Chemawa those two extra grades. Demand this. It is only right; and it would serve a great purpose. ' '"Tariff to Be Issue in Campaign of ,1924," reads a"headline' over a telegraphed' political storyv The wish Is likely father to the thought.

Bits o Nature Have you ever heard a "spring ' peeper," ; the ? little high voiced frog of the swamps and.marshies? He is the best of the frog- song sters and- his lowest note j is ex actly the same pitch as the high est note on a piano. - ;;Efvery spring he sings 1 Jvery beautifully, that is, the -TnaW spring peeper, sings. He does this In order to attract a mate. When he la singing, a little bag In the under part of his throat inflates and can be seen . bulging out ;as thse notes come tumbling trim his throat. . . i : '! ; ' When Mr.' Spring Peeper real ly takes the notldfc to sing he can run up the scale so high that his voice is too high for the hu man ear to catch. Tike, many other husbands, Mr. Spring: Peep er says very little after he I meets Mrs. . Spring Peeper, end will not sing at all after their meeting. I , - These little creatures are con firmed, water dwellers and are scarcely ever found more than a foot or two from their marsh or stream. ? They also are very shy and do l not venture . out in the daytime, nor will they sing when the sun is. up. " Hot weather ' im proves the singing qualities of their throats, nowever. They are very difficult, to find, but may sometimes be' 'captured with the aid of -a butterfly net and a jack-light. t - : - - 2 Bob when he pulled in a fitfe large .one.

Flossie never caught another fish, ; while Bob pulled them in almost as fast as he could bait his hook. "Well, well." he brightened up as he counted his 12 to her eirfit. "Luck's changed, hasn't ;.it? Who's champion now?" "Oh, you always were 'the best fisher," Flossie smiled at him. "Well; I. guess we might as well go home. .What time is it?"

It used more than a fourth of all the cans employed in the Pacific northwest last year in putting up fruits; and the proportion ;is going to be larger, this year.

THE SAFE NEWSPAPER j An editor dreamed one night that he had decided', for 'once In his career to get out a paper that was entirely satisfactory.. Every item that was written for this ex ceptional issue was carried around to the different readers of the pa per and If any objection was rais- it was killed. The paper went to press as usual-and when .the pa trons unfolded it they found noth-' ing but a blank sheet., The editor slept sweetly, the balance , of the nights soothed with the thought he had printed nothing to offend anybody and that for once his pa per was entirely satisfactory . Preston Republican. EARLY TO BED Whenever a near-centenarian explains the system that brought him s an exceptionally long i and happy life the explanation too of ten seems to hark back to the prettr little proverbs and precepts we read in the copy books of ear ly childhood. It is therefore, a refreshing surprise to hear how T.'P. O'Connor, the veteran Irish parliamentary leader, at a birth day party recently," accounted for his wonderfully active old age. He attributed his long life to the fact that he never went t8 bed before 4 o'clock In the morning and never rose till noon. ' ' i ; fUTURE DATES Jmn . 2.

ENGIiAKD'S SOCIAOST ; .MENACE Winston' Churchill appeared In London after, a six-months re tirement from public duty recent ly and delivered an address on the "Safety of the Empire" that had much to do with; the retirement of Bonar Law and the appoint ment of . a new premier. Mr. Churchill Is 'a Liberal. He was the ablest speaker In the Lloyd George Cabinet. At the time the Lloyd George government fell Churchill was In a hospital under going an operation for appendi citis.; He did not recover in time to take part in the brief parlia mentary campaign! and his seat was carried by a Prohibitionist. 1 Churchill brings a new note in to British politics. He Is! able, aggressive and fearless. His mo ther was bornjin ; this : country pf Colonial stock; and soniethlng of the broader horizons and the free dom of speech and action of Am erica appear In the son. He came from his retirement to sound a warning against the Socialist men ace, against the . rising tide ! tot radicalism.: ; He said that the fac tional fights' among Liberals and Conservatives 1 were bringing dis credit on both parties; . and that the Socialists, united, intrepid and unscrupulous. ;; were moving for ward and mlght possibly capture the .government. $ ; j. .' -' " ; The part of his address pointing ost the Socialist menace and what a i Labor government would mean to Great Britain has been warm ly commended y . both Liberal and Conservative newspapers. All agree that jit is a necessary warn ing, sounded t" a time .when Great Brlta'n are .more perilous than the average citizen realizes. He said: , . ., - , ' 'j . ' " ' : "It is : easy .to denounce 'or. ', deride the capitalist system and to point to its many in- 1 equalities and imperfections.1 ; - But the capitalist system, armed with science, has en abled Htsj to organize and de ; velop ! out Industries and our trade ln such a manner that at least 20.000.000 people have ' been brought!

I do not think revolution would come at one step ; In this country. . but changes of so violent a char acter might be made that they would damage this prosperity, and economic ma chinery and then from the resulting confusion and mis ery there mighf be one of those commotions which in other; t'mes ; and .s in v other lands have destroyed every vestige ; of civilization. That is the' danger I fear. "These dangers are not i visionary. T They ; are actual ; and substantial. : They are certainly .approaching. They are perhaps not far distant." In the course of his address Mr Churchill pointed out thai the menace Is from a radical minor ity which could not of itself over turn the government if the con servative sentiment of the country were not so divided and the party leaders so bitterly hostile. He said the country. must have a pre mier at Its head and that, if Bon ar Law were unable to physically perform- the duties of leadership, another must take his place. ' Pointing out that Bonar Law had . overthrown the government In ; which he had been second in authority,' he said there could be no healing of coalition wounds under his leadership. No single address since , the war awakened more favorable comment,' outside the Socialistic press, which at tasked it almost with frenzy This convinced the rest- of the country that Churchill, had exposed a weakness that the Socialists hoped the enemy would not note and to which .the " Socialists themselves were keenly alive. .i ' Churchill himself might . be termed the Henry Clay of the pres ent British political era. He pre fers his Independence to party leadership. Fearless in express ion, he has won the respect of the thinking British populace. When In the Lloyd George cabinet the Socialists feared his retort's even! more than those of Lloyd George' himself. ' He wilt probably nevr be premier; but he Is likeiy to do much more- for the British peo ple than :ne great majority of those wno have held the premier ship.
