THE
There is a good deal of agitation in Salem just now over
the curlew law. This is riot a new law. It is an ordinance that
was passed back in 1912, by the Salem city council. The present
" council is merely falling heir to
ordinance. The ordinance provides that the warning whistle
and at fifteen minutes to 10 in
all children milder 18 years of
homes at 9 and 10 o clock respectively.

missed in time to allow hundreds of boys and girls to avoid be
ing law breakers under the ordinance.,
The other side of the case is argued like this : The hours
of 9 in winter and 1Q in summer evenings, and the age limit of
girls in many outlying neighborhoods, what otherwise are led
into all sorts of mischief through the "gang" spirit, shall be in
iheir homes after those hours ,
And it is tfanighty easy matter to get. up an argument and
.almost to get up ft fight in regard to the ordinance as it now
stands. . . .

they are 18 when they are not. He will say it is not a crime
for boyg and girls under 18 to attend church or high school
functions, and that it ought not to be stated to be a crime, by
any law or city ordinance. He will say his boy" or girl is no
criminal, and . he does not want either of them to be branded

the officers to enforce the ordinance as it stands ' :

times it was termed ignitegium,' or pyritegium. The curfew is

Jiam the Conqueror, who ordained, under severe penalties, that
at the ringing of the"curfew-bell at eight o'clockln the evening
all lights and fires should be extingiiishedVvIt seems probable,
however, that he merely enforced an existing arid very common
police regulation to that effect. The absolute prohibition of
ngms aner tne nngmg ot the eurtew-beil ws abolished: by
Henry I in 1100. The practice of tolling a belt' at a fixed hour
in the evening, still extant in many places, is a survival of th
ancient curfew. The common hour was at first ieven, and it
"was gradually advanced to eight, and in seme, places to nine
o'clock. In Scotland ten was hot an unusual -hour!,' As a pre
caution against ; conflagrations, the curfew was" a most, useful
regulation, at a period when it was the customo'piace the fire
in a hole in the middle of the floor, under an opetaing in the roof
to allow the escape of the smoke. When a family retired for
rest for the night, the fire was extinguished by, covering it up;
and hence the term couvre-feu, jbr curfew. ; But this salutary
regulation served 1 another ; important end, Hince by obliging
people to keep writhin doors, nocturnal brawls; in rt-je streets

late the use of our products. We
heard it stated recently that if
every Chinaman would eat one
slice of bread a day there would
be no more talk of a glutted wheat
market. Of course, the Chinamen
will not eat that much more bread
There are millions of Chinamen
who have never heard of our
bread, but what is meant by this
is that somewhere in the world
there are enough people to eat
all of our surplus products if we
would just find them.
We have gone beyond the point
of an apple a day, a pear a day,
a plum a day, a prune a day, or
even a loaf a day. We must take
higher ground than this. Instead
of trying tq stuff our own people
w must reach-out and find hew
people who really need these
things. We do not need the extra
apple or the extra prune, but there
are millions of people who do need
them and who would be the bet
ter for having them. Therefore
hear ye the conclusion of the
whole matter: Reach out and get
more markets.
THE AMAZE 1 MeADOO
Bill McAdoo is horrified, amat-
ed, perturbed, terrified and a lot
of other adjectives we cannot
think of. When he heard the hor
rible disclosure in the Fall case
he was so paralyzed that he could
not sign his name to a separation
of himself from the oil Interests.
There never has Tbeen anything
like it. The Fall case Is, tfca
worst that ever happened and Mc
Adoo took two weeks to recover
his breath sufficiently to write hia
resignation.
Oil Is a dangerous thing. It
slimes men all over. The Republi
cans are demanding the prosecu
tion of Fall. How many Demo
crats are demanding the prosecu
tion of McAdoo?
By the way. the name of Frank
lin K. Lane is mentioned as an
ax-cabinet official in connection
with this scandal. No criticism
can be attached to Mr. Lane. He
said frankly that he was coming
to be an old man and had nothing
to .leave his family, and when
profitable employment was offer
ed he -took the j public into con
fidence as' he felt forced, to take
It. "Mr. McAdoo covered his up
and would have accepted money
right along if he had not been
exposed.
.Tha unspeakable George Creel
was ' so horrified ' when he found
out-that the $5,000 that went to
him was oil money that he blew
up, but ,so far as the report goes,
never-restored a cent of it. It
was fine punishment . for the oil
interests we must admit.
' CARRYIXG VOICES
A balloonist tells a pretty story.
He says that when going up in the
air the voices he can hear last are
the children's voices. This is true
all , through life. A child's voice
will carry through the years even
more than a mother's voice. A
child's gentle touch will last just
as long as a mother's gentle touch.
The man who hears the voice of
a child through the years Is stop
ped from many wicked things and
atartedon the road to many good
things. I There is nothing like the
voice of -a child , to sweeten life
and niake It endurable through the,
hard, places wherein all men must
travel. V-'-
REMEDIES
The Northwestern National bank
of Minneapolis which is an author
ity on conditions in the north-
est, said In one of its recent re
views: "Out of all the flood of
talk about the farmers' problems
in the one-crop grain regions of
the northwest, the main conclu
sion of those with no axes to grind
that the simple expedient of fos
tering the practice of mixed farm
ing Is the only practical solution.
If some of our districts have ar
rived at the point where they can
not extricate themselves from tlv
consequences of the all-wheat
habit, then the next move in all
heighborline83 is to give them a
lift. "More and more clearly Is the
northwest Impressed with the fact
that dairying, the raising of alfal-i
. sugar beets, poultry, hogs, etc.;
as important component part of
diversified farming, have a direct
bearing on our business and our
banking."
SIBERIA
For many years Siberia was
looked upon as the most forlorn
place in the world. It was held
up "as omforllesB und an ideal
prison for .the heartless Russian
autocracyV As a matter ot fact
the very opposite is true. Siberia
is about the richest country in the
world. t can produce more things
and produce them easier than any
other country. It offers oppor
tunities that' lio other country of--fers.
Some of these days it is go
ing to. be developed,, .- ,
- wucu 'otueiia cornea luio ua
own, the'r northwestern .pacific
states will reap the reward. They
will be the natural port of which
and to which 'will flow the
merce between the two countries.
The moment Siberia gets on the
map, that moment our importance
will be doubled.
GRADING WHEAT
The good news comes that in
the northwest, which in wheat par
lance is Minnesota and the Da
kotas, a new means of grading
whet is to be provided. It is true
that Minneapolis and t. Paul rob
the Dakotas out of millions of dol
lars year after year. They have
the advantage and keep it. The
Nonpartisan movement was a pro
test against the grading of wheat
aud the unfairness of Minneapolis.
That movement has been suppres
sed,, but it will break out in some
other "place. more violent than ever
unless the farmers get a square
deal In the grading of wheat.
rUICE CUTTING
We saw a very pertinent pro
test the other day. It wns on price-
cutting in cooperative institutions.
Of course, until they are strong
enough to hold up the price they
must meet competition, but there
is a difference between competi
tion and price cutting. Meeting
competition is simply using busi
ness sense in an emergency, but
price cutting means to set out on
a new field with A determination
to: sell things cheaper than any
one else is selling them. Price
cutting canont be justified and
will wreck any cooperative asso
ciation that undertakes to do it.
GLAD THEY CAME
The Oregon Statesman wishes
to compliment the Business Wom
en's club" for bringing the Stuart
Walker players here. It todk
nerve to do this, but it sets
the standard for high attractions
for Salem. We have always lacked
nerve in getting the better things
and the only way we can get them
is to get an organization of de
termined citizens back of them.
The business women have per
formed a distinct public service
and we desire to congratulate
thein.
FOOLISXKSS
A man over at Bend claims to
have invented a process to tell
whether or not a; person in a grave
is dead. That is a terribly foolish
thing. Men ought to be in better
business. No gtod -can come out'
of that in the world and the only
thing it can do is to alarm and
make uneasy those whose loved
ones are buried. No one is ever
buried Alive, and if they were they
would not live a minute after they
revive. No alarm would work
quickly enough to let in any air.
It is all a piece of nonsense.
DIFFERENT IDEAS
Out in this country we sit on the
front porch when the weather is
cool and when driven inside are
very apt to leave the curtains up.
Americans are supposed to love
publicity, an'1, yet Mrs. Belmont,
an American, has just paid $100,-
000 for a lighthouse because in
no other way could she close the
road that interfered with her pri
vacy, LITTLE INTEREST
It is surprising how little In
terest is manifest In wheat' sub
sidy." There is a reason for this.
We- have talked so much abou't
it and done so little that the far
mers have lost all interest. They
ha've settled back into a hopeless
ness that is not healthy either as
citizens or as a community.
The farmers have been fooled
so much that only the performance
and delivery of goods can convince
them there is a way out.
COMING AROUND
When Dawes and Young landed
In Berlin it looked as though they
were facing a stone wall.
The German money lords re
fused to give them assistance. We
arc now told that the wall is
crumbling down and by the end of
another week thqse haughty lords
will be eating oAit of the hands
of Dawes and Young.
TOO LATE
' Senator Jones has a bill regu
lating such employment as ex-government
officials can accept. It
Is too late. The damage has been
done. Moral laws will govern
hereafter. You will never find
high officials resigning and, so
getting their names on fat pay
rolls with limited or no service.

An Australian or South Ameri

two tails to a regular piece of
rope. These tail? should be about
five feet long and have weighted
balls firmly fastened to their outer
ends. This foreign lasso is worked
just as the American lasso by
swinging it around the head and
then letting it fly a,t the object to
be caught.
This Australian lasso should
never be used in attempting to
lasso a person, ; as the weighted
balls might cause inury.

This is Aladdin, tlie Sherkyquop of the desert, crossing the
hot sands of Egypt. Aladdin's wonderful" lamp is on top of
his bean serving as his headlight. Once he shied at a piece
of paper, skidded and fell on his dome. Then Aladdin got up
and rubbed his wonderful lamp.
The Sheikyquop has just asked the Sphinnicks how to get
to King Tut's tomb. Sphinnicks said, "Do you think I'm
a Trafficquop?" This is the famous riddle of the Sphinnicks,
that has come down through the ages. Aladdin married a
tricycle and they have a little velocipede. "You know me,

With one hand holding her firm

a glimpse of Jim leaning against

across his. chest, his eyes watching
us closely. It was but a glimpse
I had of his set, white face so dif

something sinister, menac'ng, in
the atmosphere surrounding my

me oppressively.
