'WHY NOT THE
; . "It is high time that the board of control selected a site for
the State Training school for boys. The money has been appro
priated for tliree years and the construction should have been
completed and the institution functioning in new quarters long
since, instead of forcing the young wards of the state to continue
in unfit, obsolete and condemned buildings.
'''The Capital Journal could never see anything 'the matter
with the present site and the necessity of expending $f0,000 or
$60,000 more of the taxpayers' money to purchase a new loca
tion. It thought at the time and still thinks the objections
urged by the professional welfare workers t rival and the change
forced largely by pressure of real estate agents and land-owners
desiring to sell property to the state.
'If the board is deadlocked, and apparently hopelessly upon
a site, each member standing pat for his own selection, it might
do worse than to break the deadlock by going ahead, as first
planned, on the present site, which has the advantage of close
proximity to Salem and keeps the institution one of the chain
surrounding the eapitol. If there is not land enough, there Is
plenty" adjacent that can be acquired.)
"It never was intended that the boys' training school be
made a money making institution by competing ia products
with the farmer as some seem to think. The most that should
be attempted is Hie production of food supply sufficient for the
.institution, the growing of which would teach youth agriculture
and inculcate industry."
The above is from the Capitol Journal of last evening.
' That is about the idea the writer of the matter in this corner
of The Statesman had when this subject was originally broached,
and road iunas proposed to DC diverted tovtne providing oi a
new plant for the boys' training school, with some seventeen new
buildings, at a cost, of around $275,000
- Excepting that this, writer did not think there was a call
for the spending of so much money for the purpose, where one
or two new "cottages" would suffice! would be sufficient to
provide for the "cottage system," about which there has been
so' much talk though the "cottage system" has prevailed in
the institution since its opening, albeit with the buildings origin-
ally poorly planned; for this.
, ; But this position was upon the assumption that it was pro
posed to abandon the present plant entirely.
The present idea, however, is to purchase nn entirely new
;farm.v The Legislature at its session of last winter made an
appropriation of $55,000 for such purchase. If this act is to be
carried out in the spirit in which it was considered by the mem-
bers of the Legislature, the farm to be purchased will lend itself
' . to a scheme for the better training of the boys of the institution
in farm work, with a view to contributing more largely to the
support of the institution. yThis would "teach youth agriculture
and inculcate industry," and it could be made to amount to more
thaa the "production of foodE supply sufficient for the' institu
tion," in the standard and approved lines of this section, and
ralso it could be made to" yield & surplus in these lines, to be
sold ii the markets, without "competing in products with the
farmef to an extent that would amount to -injurious competi
tion Indeed, it might be made helpful. Even the Vpndetion
of food supply sufficient for the institution" might by such a
muwtidn to absurdity as is suggested Te considered as " com
peting m products with the farmer;" but only on a scale slightly
above .the competition of the home owner in Salem avIjo culti
vates, a kitchen- garden or keeps a few hens in his back yard.
t4 not worth considering.
, J The- competition i of 150 bo3's or less, some of them, around
. iQVe 'S and Working on half time and less, would not
hurt "the "farmer.',' In the way of experimental work, it might
: be made to help "thefarmer" greatly.
I. It is not the idea of this Statesman writer that, with the
kintTand amount of. land proposed to be purchased, under the
act of, the last Legislature, the boys' school could be made imme
diatlyT self supporting. But larger, contributions towards its
support could be made from, the beginning and proper .manage
ment might conceivably in time render it entirely self support
ing, with the aid of crops 1st adapted to that end ; among them
walnuts and filberts, and the standard tree and bush fruits, with
dairying, poultry raising, etc.
Any way, it seems to the writer that it would be better to
hitch the wagon of the institution to such a star, rather than to
assume that it must always be a burden to the taxpayers.
And the moving of the institution to a farm adapted to the
scheme of self support would not presuppose the abandonment
of the present site. All the land there, and all the buildings,
would come into use, by one or more of the state's institutions,
-for Oregon is a growing state, and the institutional needsmust
necessarily grow, ij '

America, with the enthronement of woman1, sentiment is being
marked up to figures undreamed of by our ancestors. The
trouble with most of our aspirants for artistitt honors is this:
they expect to make inlaid cabinets before they have learned
how to saw a square block of wood.
GKOHGE L. HA K Kit, CANDIDATE
Tonight George L. Taker will
formally launch his campaign for
United States senator. Mr. Raker
has been before the public for a
number of years. He is a con
spicuous Oregon citizen, mayor of
our only great city, and alive to
the interests of the state generally.
He will announce his platform to
night and give his reason why he
should be elected senator. He is
entitled to a respectable, careful,
hearing. The voters of the repub
lican party of Oregon are con
cerned about sending the best man
possible to Washington as sena
tor. They know Senator McXary
and thy know Mayor Baker. It is
up to them to hear the candidates
carefully with open minds and to
make values between the two men.
The Oregon Statesman confesses
a liking for Mayor Iiaker. He is
a whole-souled, breezy, energetic
Oregonian. Whether he will be
senator or not is another matter,
but the only way to judge Is to
hear the man present his case to
the republican voters and make
conclusions therefrom, taken in
connection with his public life in
this state.
A GOOD STORY
A good many of our troubles in
life come because we do not go to
the sourer. Tho late Sam Jones,
one of our greatest evangelists, in
his lifetime told this story: "I
was going along the road one day
when I became very thirsty. I dis
mounted and went to a small creek
to drink. The water was so roiled
that I could not drink it. I took
my hat and tried to fan it clear;
tried everything else I could think
of. A friend happened along and
asked what I was doing. I told
him that I was , trying to get a
drink of clear water. He pointed
out to me that the best way to
get it was to go up about 12 feet
where a hog was wallowing and
the water would soon settle."
A good many of us by our nar
row vision and limited mind action
fool around with miry water when
we could go above the hog wallow
and find clear water. It lsa hu
man story Mr. Jones told.
THE FEDERAL CR,OWD
The Oregon Statesman has pro
tested against any member of the
federal crowd being a delegate to
the republican national convention.
The federal crowd is well provided
for, while there are hundreds of
men scattered over the state whose
only reward comes by being sent
as a delegate to the national nom
inating Convention. It is unfair;
it is seltish, and it is poor politics
for any member of the federal
crowd o attempt to stand in the
way of a private party worker by
asking to be sent as a delegate.
Nearly all of the states have stop
ped this practice, and in practi
cally all ot the states the federal
crowd recognizes the Injustice of
it and none of them ask to be
sent, Oregon Bhould make this
rule and enforce it.
GOING FAR
A few weeks ago an investigat
ing committee for the senate start
ed to investigate Fall. That indi
vidual has been lost sight of and
the investigation has gone far
afield. It Is now busily engaged
in finding out if Jake Hamon, dead
these many years, asked General
Wood for a cabinet portfolio. Noth
ing could better show the lack of
unpatriotic motive in the investi
gation. There could be no pos
sible connection between any re
quest Jake Hamon might have
made of General Wood and any
thing that Fall did about the Tea
pot Dome. It is absurd to think
they can get away with any such
Investigation before the public.
THE APPROACHING REVIVAL
There Is a very interesting re
vival now in progress in this city.
but six churches are going to unite
in a big one. beginning April 13.
A granddaughter ot General Booth
will be the evangelist, and she la
said to be a good one. We wish
all the churches of Salem would
join in. An evangelist movement
U something that needs numbers
and church strength. Ia spite of
the (talk, evangelism by means
of revival is growing every year,
and the churches more and more
rely on It for recruiting their mem
bership. A NEW ORGANIZATION
The Christian Alliance, Just or
ganized in Salem, was not organ
ized for the purpose ot dictating,
but unalterably is for good .gov
ernment. .It is not the Intention,
as we understand it, to dictate
nominations. It is just to see that
all parties nominate the best men
, - -. r - '
and that tho men circled do their
duty.
It Is time tho churchmen in Sa
lem were realizing their big ma
jority and their power it they care
to 'act together.
THE AI TO PARK
In the same issue of Th States
man where Dr. Morris complains,
and justly, of the condition of the
park. Mayor Giesy said that steps
were being taken to put the park
in first-rate condition. Mayor
Giesy has the power to do this, and
it is mighty good news to Salem
that he is addressing himself to
it. The auto park is a wonderful
asset to Salem, and it ought to be
made just as attractive as possible.
MORE TROUBLE
Another congressman has gone
wrong. This time he was found
out on the outskirts of Washing
ton, and is very deeply in trouble.
In consequence we may have to
appoint chaperons for these deli
cate buds who are unable to take
care of themselves against the
wiles of the wicked in our national
capital.
IT IS SUPERSTITION
A few years ago madstones were
all the rage. They were said to
be the only cure for rabies. Now
the madstone is discarded as abso
lutely worthless, and we have dis
covered a real cure for the rabies.
The world do move!
We are beginning to understand
that a good many of our automo
bile accidents are traceable and
chargeable to liquor. Drunken
drivers can be found everywhere
and they are continually having1
trouble. The state should not per
mit men under the influence of
liq'uor to drive automobiles. It is
too dangerous.
One of the needs of this time
is a bus line to West Salem. It
is hardly possible to extend the
Btreet car system over there, but
stages and buses will go every
where. We wish somebody would
try this out.
Manners are something that im
prove with use.
I BITS FOR BREAKFAST I

There is a scramble on for the
last ten acres of flax to be sown
for the state flax plant this year;
and the last five. The contracts
are now narrowed down to about
that point.

"If the east has a little more
storm and rain that she feels can
not use, we know just where the
surplus could be disposed of," is
a paragraph in the Los Angeles
Times of a few days ago, and in
the same column here is another:
"Water enough to last till Novem
ber, says Mulholland, even if it
doesn't rain. After that we'll
drink canned tomatoes, as tho cow
boys used to."
The above shows the character
istic cheerfulness of the Califor
nians, even with their country
dried up and blowing away, and
with no certain relief in sight.

Speaking of the auction lure
with the ladies, we are informed
that 2200 women were playing
'bridge at one time and in one hall
in Cleveland the other afternoon.
With more than 800 packs of cards
working aOone time there wasn't
even much chance for gossip. If
that many men had been assem
bled to play poker there would
would have been a hurry call for
the United States army.
Josephus Daniels will not con
sent to have his name placed on
the democratic presidential ballot
in the Georgia primaries. If Jo
sephus had not taken the pains
to protest some of us would never
have known that there was clamor
fcr the use of his name. This put
ting away the crown should be a
simple and painless task for a lot
of more or less seasoned democrats
this year.

CHAPTER 123
HOW MOTHER GRAHAM 'STRIP
PED THE MASK FROM ELI
ZABETH. If I had not suspected Elizabeth
Harrison's secret discipline of her
children, masked by her pretence
of governing them without coer
cion, I would have had tho con
viction of the truth forced upon
me when I saw Mary s terror-
stricken eyes leap to her mother's
face at her grandmother's adjura
tion. Mrs. Harrison's own face ban
ished whatever doubt I might have
had. At her mother's Words, in
dicating that Mary was the one
responsible for the taking of the
Oriental necklace, my sister-in-law
set little Roderick down upon
the ground and advanced a step
toward the shrinking Mary with a
Face that might have been cut out
of mar.ble, and a set little smile
that made me shiver, so icilly
cruel did it appear to my excited
imagination.
But her voice was as placid as
always, when she spoke, and I
gazed at her fascinated by the
contrast between her honeyed ac
cents and the cruel lines in her
face.
' Mary' she said sweetly, "tell
mother the; truth. Did you take
the necklace from my box?"
The child's eyes dilated with
terror, and her voice was but a
whisper as she answered:
"Yes, mother, I did, but I didn't
hurt it, and "
"You've Fooled Everybody."
"That isn't the question, is it
dear?" her mother replied, then
held out her hand. "Come with
mother, dear. We'll take a walk
and talk it over."
Mary's face was white, her eyes
anguished, but she moved away
from her grandmother toward her
mother's extended hand, almost
I told myself fancifully as a fas
cinated, terrified bird might have
moved toward a serpent.
By my mother-in-law put out a
qufck, nervous hand, seized the
child by the arm, spun her around
toward the house, gave her a little
push, and cried in a high, peremp
tory voice:
"Mary, o directly to my room
and stay there until I-come. I
promise you that your mother
&hall not punish you at all for the
neiklace. Run now!"
Mary needed no second adjura
tion. Her thin legs sped over the
ground like those of a fawn, and
she did not once look behind her.
Mrs. Harrison took one amazed
step toward her mother, but my
irate mother-in-law gave her no
opportunity to speak.
"You'll Not Take Mary."
"Don't you open your mouth to
me, Elizabeth," she said, and I
saw that she was in one of her
worst "tantrums." "Why ''in the
world I should have a child such
as you've grown up to be, I don't
know. Richard and Harriet have
their faults, but you you're a
regular 1 don't know what to
call you. You've fooled everybody
a long time with your moral sua
sion and your developing a free
spirit and your 'no coercion al
lowed with my children.' but I've
thought there was a darkey in the
woodpile ever since you've been
here this time and now I know.
"Whatever you do to those chil
dren of yours to make them mind,
it's something a good deal more
severe than the punishments ordi
nary mothers hand out. It's
whipping and pinching, 1 wouldn't
I be afraid to bet a cookie, but
there's one thing .certain, you're
not going to punish Mary this
trip, not while I have my right
senses, to prevent it."
"Of course, I leave your house
with my family this afternoon,"
Elizabeth Harrison said, with
white, stiff lips.
"Do just as you please about
that,'' her mother retorted with

STORIES OF PRECIOUS JEWELS
A Gem Coveted by Monarchs
In this very precious stone, the
ruby, is found the greatest amount
of wealth in the least possible
space, for a ruby equal to a "king's
ransom" may be tucked in a waist-
coat pocket, a perrect Oriental
ruby weighing five carats is worth
ten times as much a a diamond
of equal weight. So valuable have
they been throughout history that
jealous monarchs have guarded
them cunningly.
Rubies were first mined in Bur
ma, where the secret of their value
was kept dark as long as possible,
so the Europeans would not ex
ploit them. Those of ordinary
sizes were sold to merchants, but
all passing a certain mark of size
were declared to be the possession
of the king. The kings kept a
tight hold on the mines where the
gems were found, sending tales
around that they were gnarded by
grisly giants and fire-spitting
dragons.
Popularity Varies
The "pigeon blood" red is the
color of the best ones oT Burma,
while the purplish stone of Siam is
popular, and those mined in Cey
lon, which lack lu3tre, are worn in
regal indifference, "but you'll not
take Mary with you. not until I've
had a talk with William. I'm go
ing to find out whether he knows
and approves of your methods,
and I'm going to telegraph him
rlsht now to come on here and see
me."
I have seen Mother Graham peel
the skin from a tomato for can
ning with less effectiveness than
she accomplished the stripping of
her daughter's mask of compo
sure. It was a frightened, almost
child-like culprit that moved for
ward swiftly to clutch her mo
ther's arm.
"Mother, you mustn't do that
mustn't tell William anything.
I'll do anything you want, but "
Her mother smiled grimly.
"I thought so. William always
was a fool. If he hadn't always
been so blind and daffy about you,
and had taken a hickory stick to
you when he first married you,
he'd have made something out of
you. Well, at any rale. I've got
some holy blackmail to hold over
your head now, and don't you ever
believe I won't use it if I ever
hear of your doing anything to
one of your children that will
bring a look of treror such as
Mary wore this afternoon!
"Margaret, what are you dawdl
ing around here for? Junior must
have wakened from his nap by
this time, and goodness knows
there's enough to do in the house
with that ape of a Katie gone
without everybody loafing the
trme away."
And having thus administered
the high justice., the middle and
the low, my doughty mother-in-law
moved .majestically to the
house, while I mentally saluted
her.

SOMETHING FOR ROYS
TO MAKE
First cut a notch in your stick
at tho point indicated by C. Cut
tho stick on a slant front A to K.
At D you must cut a narrow ridge
around the stick till the bark Is
loose, then slip off the bark from
the slant end of the whistle to
the ridge. Of course the bark will
not be loose unless there is sap
in the stick. You will have to
tap it lightly before it will come
off.
Now in the peeled stick, cut a
chamber for air from A to E in'
the shape of the one shown by the
shaded portion of the picture. The
channel marked A-F should not
be deep. Now slip the bark back
on. Blow the whistle at A and
see how loud and clear is the

BOWLING GAME; PART 2
If you followed yesterday's In
structions you have nealy every
thing ready to assemble into the
bowling; game shown here. All
you have to make is the little
shooter for the balls. These balls,
incidentally, are ball-bearing and
about one-half inch in diameter.
If you will look at tho illus
tration carefully you will fintt tibat
it shows just how everything! Ia
made. . '
When the game ia completely as
sembled, try it out. Don't shoot
too hard, just Dlaco your marble
in the little four-inch trough and
pull the elastic, which is stretched
between the two posts, back a lit
tle way. This will give the ball
plenty of speed and it will go
whizzing down the alley, bumping
the pins right and left.
If you have any questions about
any of the things which I write for
you in this paper, just write ine
and I'll answer anything I am able
to. One fellow has just written
me to find out how to make black
ink white. I didn't like to confess
it. but I had to tell him that I
didn't know. I did, however, tell
him how to make several kinds of
invisible ink. ;
