It means a lot to the progress of Marion county and the prosperity and growth of Salem. Marion county is building thirty miles or more of paved market roads this year that is, finishing that many miles. This will nearly complete the five year program ;! nearly com plete it in four years. Of the $850,000 of market road bonds authorized, $745,000 have been .sold in December, for the workof next year, riot all the' story. Marion county will have $119,372 under the Pierce state. narket road act, have still in addition to this at least $52,500, for her .one fourth of the vehicle taxes paid by residents of this county to the state of -Oregon. .Add these you nave 0,0(2. mat is me amount mariun couuiy .wm have for permanent road .'work next year; mostly for paved market roads. v;.;:7'.:' ' j.:---" ;V .

But it allows to any one county jiQt more than 10 per jcent of the entire sum. It allows nothing to any incorporated city of town. . The money all goes onto country roads. The city of Portland pays about $250,000 a year under this act, and gets nothing for its own streets or roads. Multnomah county pays about a third of the state taxes, but gets from the state market road fund . m A 1 , only 10 per cent. The balance taking advantage of the act.

But there will come a time in the history of Marion county when all the public roads will be paved J . ) DANGEICOUS GROUND ' Congressman i Albert Johnson of the state of Washington has un dertaken to teveal the new presi dent to the west, and the revela tion is a decided disappointment. Mr. Johnson holds the president up as a typical New England con servative. If this is true, it means trouble from r the . start, because the progressive west Is In for a hearing..: 'Among other things, Mr. Johnson outlines future trou bles as follows: y " "X am not much. of a prophet, but I ,thlnk I can predict that the new congress . will' have a long struggle with some kind of a re vision of the Each-Cummins trans portation act, and, that the La Follette group In', the house and senate who dictate soma of the paragraphs in it.'

THE NAMES' OP TOWNS ' avn t nw 1 ft Ma avI fn1.fT counterpart in Salem, Massachus etts. Portland, Oregon, has a, counterpart in Portland, Maine. All over the country there is this similarity of names.. There is only one rule In the naming of new towns, and that Is that there shall be but one of the same name in a state. But that does not prohibit other states from boasting towns of the same name. For instance, there are 45 names used more than 20 times each to designate towns and cities. L Benjamin Franklin la remembered as an inspiration more than any oilier person, and Franklin as a town name takes the prize, occur ring 31 times in 31 states.

VISITING THE STATE Senator .McNary Is , pit on a tour of the state,, acquainting him self with the needs of the people. The long. session of congress and the distance front ine national capitol has prevented the Average senator ana congressman, irom keeping1 In touch w-lK'TBts. con stituency. It has been rortunaie for these members that there has been no congress mis summer, and not only can people get ac quainted with their representa tives, but the: representatives can get acquainted with the people. The danger. In official me nas always been a lack of touch with the jeople. There are manuoia unfortunate surroundings for the man- In Washington, and the vis ion Is so cloudedr that It takes a mighty straight looker to know what is going on in Oregon. Our senators and representatives are taking the opportunity to get In touch with the people, this is happening all1 over the country and we have an Idea that Jt Is going to result in more whole some legislation this winter than could probably be enacted by a special session. RELIGIOUS HAY SCHOOLS The demand for religious In struction for children has increas ed so amazingly of recent years that the religious day school has been revived ; and is in successful operation in a number, of places. This school does not undertake to teach denominationalism. It Is what Its name implies. It is a school for the study of the Bible. There is a strong effort being made to establish this religious day school in Salem. A modified plan was tried out here for six weeks last year and worked ad mirably. Today many of the thoughtful people of the city be lieve that the time has arrived to put the full plan in opera tion. The Bible school does not arouse religious hostility, does not farther creed, and it does appeal to understanding Americans iwbo bellervethela-government caiybe best, ifa.eja y bringing up Jour children in Christian cltizenstfp c .. 1 . ' j . MAKE IT RWHT f The Oregon Statesman Is sorry that there Is criticism of the con dition of our tourist camp. How ever, It is not wisdom to shut our eyes to' these criticisms, and It certalnfy Is i n6t good business. Whatever Is wrong can be easily corrected. Salem, as the capitol of the state, ough to have the most attractive touring camp In the state, and we have reason to belfeve that the park board will knok off the rough corners and mae the park what our people desire it to be a model of Its kin?. Our city administration Is on the lookout for Improvements and will doubtless remedy this promptly. I y PLANT LESS WHEAT There vas a time when the ad monition to curtail ; production was looked upon as a grave error. We have reached the time now when It is an imperative need. It is not wise and certainly is mighty unprofitable to raise more than the market can assimilate. A glutted "market means poor prices and also loss to the farm er. There ' Is always a demand for diversified crops. . We can raise so many things out here in Oregon that there Is little excuse In sticking to wheat. The celebrated case of Davis against Davis has called for an explanation L. front. Weeks. The secretary explains that the reclamation board, need ed an executive, while A. P. Davis was an engineer. D. W. Davis, the new man. has just retired , from two terms as governor of Idaho and ought to be something of an executive. However, the public has had so many other big things that it has lost sight of this little tempest. SoutDern Democrats are yery J much outraged because the presi dent went to Virginia for his pri vate secretary. If there is one thing on earth, above another, that the southern democrats do not want, it is to have strong men developed in the republican party in the south. The great dancer in Europe to day is a general breakup, and Europe could not go to pieces without Jarring America consid erably. Day by day the Euro pean situation gets'worse, and day by day it becomes more apparent that America must enter Europe in some helpftiC manner. A New York actress seems to be jealous of the way Mary Minter has made a fool of herself In Los Angeles and has thrown her brother to the wolves.

"I'll eat you a race," challenged Marion to Dicky, after a tempting collation had been brought. "Eat you a race!" Dicky echo ed aggrievedly. "I'm surprised at you, Marlon, after all the trouble I've taken to train you in United, States as she isn't spoke, to hear talk like that from you. But then I can't expect to keep you under my ; eye, or rather, ear, all the time. And I suppose now you've got your Uncle Robert, your Uncle J Dicky can go jump in the lake far all you'll care." T . His tone was the essence of rail lery, but I wondered if underneath' there was not a soUpcon of, seri ousness. He always has been In tensely fond of Marlon, and the child has returned his devotion whole-heartedly. I suspected that her I undoubted , preference . for Robert Savarin galled him. 4 "I'll never go back on you. Uncle Dicky." Marion said loy ally. "But." her eyes turned adoringly to Robert Savarin, "my Uncle Robert has to come first next to my mother, for I haven't any father, and he's going to be my father some day, aren't you. Uncle Robert?" It was a little speech which I have, heard her utter often, and it always elicits the same response which come promptly from the artist's lips. "Of course, Sweetheart! Just as soon as mother says so." I saw Lillian glance quickly at Miss Jones, and knew that this revelation of her intimate affairs before a stranger was most dis tasteful to her. The next instant Miss Jones effaced herself with graceful skill. i"Do you mind if I go now and get my own breakfast?" she said, glancing at her wrist watch, and addressing Lillian directly. "I won't be long, and - Marion won't need anything you can't give her for the next 15 minutes or so." ! "Of course. Stay as long as you like or think best," Lillian said graciously, and the nurse slipped unobtrusively from the room. i "I call that distinctly sporting," Dicky remarked in off-hand fash ion to the wall nearest htm. Then be turned a blank, innocent gaze upon Lillion, who had flushed like a school girl at his bit of rail lery.; ' Madge's Excuse. 'With , difficulty I kept' myself from frankly staring at iny friend. I had never known any of-Dicky's nonsense to disturb her' compos ure in the least. But where Rob ert Savarin is concerned she ceases to become the perfectly poised woman of the world, appears to revert back to the period when she was the adoring neophyte and he the master, unconscious of her feeling, who, out of innate kind ness, first set her foot in the path she was to tread so successfully. I I saw Robert Savarin knit bis eyebrows ever so slightly, knew that Dicky's quib' had annoyed him, and I resolved to imitate Miss Jones' tactful exit. " . "What time will Dr. Pettit be here?" I asked Lillian, casually, i "He said about 10 o'clock," she returned, flashing me a grateful, comprehending look. ; "Then there won't be inv n-ao HH S BID SecrttaiTTlour-gTrfirghom--mrti,-he' ar GIRL AND $12,000 GONE.

Kathleen Barrett, 23, with merry bine eyes and bobbed auburn hair, is missing from her home in New York city af ter losing almost $12,000 In 'bad stock Investments. rives," I said, adding, with a com pelling eye upon Dicky, "but I will just have ' time , toget some curtain stuff at the Southampto shops which I must. have. M y, cur tains from Marvin, will, not fit those windows, and it would be a shame to cut them down.". r ( "Oh, you mustn't cut those I lovely draperies ! " Lillian xclahn eu. 1 iniaK you are very wise. They are not suited for a farm house, anyway.", fV "It Wasn't Your Fault" ' "Why don't you cut over the windows to fit 'em?" Dicky asked. edging toward the door, and I knew that he was as eager to get away as I was. ' ! "Uncle Dicky!" Marion's voice sounded imperiously. "Come here and kiss me before you go. You haven't kissed me yet." "I didn't know I dared to," Dicky retorted, 1 striding' toward the bed. i ' Robert Savarin moved' aside as he did so, and Dicky, slipping his arms around; Marion's slight fig ure, started to raise her to a sit ting posture before Lillian and, I - who had heard Dr. ; Pettlt's in junction against such a procedure -could stop him. A quick moan of pain from Mar ion startled us all. Dicky put her quickly back upon her pillows. and her mother flew to her side. "What is it darling?" she asked ith apparent composure, but. I Paw' that her lips were drained of color, and I j knew that the same fear which had clutched my heart was obsessing her. Had the child escaped death, only to face dis ablement, perhaps permanently? "Noting much, mother.;" Mar ion smiled bravely, but with an evident effort. r"Ifs only a place In my back that hurt when Uncle Dicky raised : me." "Somebody ought to take: me nnt and shoot me." Dicky de clared remorsefully, bending over the child. " 1 J "It' wasn't your fault.' Uncle Dicky Marion declared loyally. "I wanted to sit up so bad I for got all aboutw hat Dr. Pettit said, and raised myself." . , '"Did Pettit say she mustn't sit up?" Dicky queried contritely, and at Lillian's sorrowful affirm ative nod he turned to me abrupt ly. . ' - ' , "Let's get out of here," he said with aV roughness born of his ag onized penitence. "I'll get Pettit here on the run and see what harm has been done." j ? -(To be continued) ' i; SHORT ; MEETING SILVERTON, Or., Au. 16.
