WORLD'S BEAN CENTER; WHY NOT?
,. Salem should be the great stringless bean center of the
world. Why not! '
This city is already an outstanding cannery center. It is
growing in importance in this respect every year. There are
prospects now of new canneries here, and increasing capacity in
the ones we already have.
We can grow here a fine canning bean, and, by the same
sign, a fine bean for dehydration. Our farmers can grow such
a,, bean 'in 4 unlimited" quantities, using that term as commonly
employed. They cn grow it at a profit, selling the product at
"a price that would allow of a margin for canning and dehydrat
IhgTand marketing
v lAnd, as the writer has said in two former Slogan issues,
"here is an opportunity for a man or group of men thinking in
empires ;l for a man or men with vision
' , And it is the chance to build up here a salad bean industry
;that might belt the globe.
This district grows a supcrio? green bean, and it can be
produced in large quantities on comparatively small acreage.
The strain could be improved upou by selection and experimen
tation? Irrigation could be employed, especially in the Santiam
district. ..-fj .
' " The wide world wants a superior salad bean, or what por
tion of the world does not feel the want can, by advertising and
exploitation, be made to demand such an article of dietary and
gustatory. excellence. c
-This would be a comparatively virgin field for profitable
exploitation. Salem is the place. This district needs it. Where

OX WHICH TICKET?
'' The Oregon Statesman has been
hearing a good deal about Stallard
for the senate and Zimmerman for
the house. It, has read carefully
the public nttetances of the can
didates, and tails to find where
either even pretends to be a re
publican. Both are followers of
La Follette; both nee the name of
the Wisconsin senator with a liber
ality which raises more than a sus
picion of trying to4 share his man
tle. Senator La Follette right now
U figuring on. a third party nom
, Ination for president. . We sub
mit that La Follette is not a re
publican and they who are preach
ing La Folletteism in Oregon In
the very nature of things cannot
be republicans, and have no busi
ness on the republican ticket.
Under the Oregon election laws
men'register for preference, but
people have learned that this does
not register their principles.
;tallard and Zimmerman, neltb-
- er ; being republicans, should be
made a' ease before the republican
committee before their names are
printed on the ballot this year.
We submit that 1C Is not fair for
men who are not' republicans, who
are .( socialists, and nonpartisan
learners, to try to get Into office
by appropriating the name of th
majority party. Politics ought to
be Jtlst as honest as any place else,
and 4 man who Is-not a republi
can has no business using the re
publican ticket.

A STRONG PRESEXTATIOX
' T '. I .. .
ilayoF George L. Baker formally
opened his senatorial campagn in
Salem last night. In the first
place If r. Baker makes a fine per
sonal appearance. He Is strong
physically, strong mentally, with a
tremendous energy that would
make Oregon felt in the halls pt
the senate.
In the next place Mr. Baker haa
state-wide Information and in no
sense is a provincial. He discusses
state issues in a fair, candid man
ner and he shows familiarity with
national affairs in a manner cal
culated to win support. Whether
you are a supporter of Mr. Baker
or not, you must admit that he
made a strong presentation and
made a very favorable showing.
Salem is the home of the sitting
senator, who is highly respected
here, and the friends of Senator
McXary appreciate that Mr. naker
did not try to becloud the record
of our present senator.
XO REDUCTION YET
The tim for filine Income tax
reports is at hand, and there does
not appear to be any relief this
year.
Do not make a mistake. The
reason there is no decrease this
year is because the democrats have
impeded and actually stopped all
legislation.
We cannot see how it Is helping
the people to prevent tax reduction
this year. Certainly taxes are as
hard to pay this year as they have
ever been or ever will be. The in
come taxes should have been re
duced this year, and lot of am
usement taxes cut off the list.
These federal taxes effect every
body. In any locality only a small
per cent of people pay any taxes
whatsoever, but nationally every
body contributes to the support of
the government, and these taxes
are the ones that are the-bardest
to pay. It is an unpatriotic policy
that keeps taxes high for fear the
dominant party will feap some
prestige.
PIEKCE AXD THE COURTS
Governor Pierce announces that
he is charry about exercising the
pardoning power, if upon investi
gation of the case he finds that
the defendant had a fair trial in
the regular channels of Justice and
was convicted on the merits of the
prosecutor's case. The governor
is right in this. A great deal of
disrespect of court comes from the
effort to undo the work of the
sentencing court Immediately af
ter a man is convicted. The courts
are the only ones that hear all the
evidence and can pass intelligent
ly on the cases.
On another phase of the legal
Question we think the governor
errs. He is too quick in employ
ing prosecutors to try local cases.
This practically tends to upset jus
tice. We do not impugn the mo
tive of the governor, but he cer
tainly should exercise better judg
ment at times.
FAIR TAXES
This is a time of the year when
the'enemies of the income tax get
in their work. At the time of
making reports the people feel the
burdens most. However, they must
not lose sight of the fact that the
inepme tax is the fairest tax in
the world. Men pay in proportion
to what they earn. This is a prin
ciple that cannot be successfully
contravened. When paying on
what' they earn the income tax
payer pays according to his abil
ity. Despite the talk to the contrary,
it is true that the income tax has
come to stay, and it will he added
to rather than diminished. Juggled
as the law may be, there is coming
to be justice in taxation more than
ever.
ABOUT DAUGHERTY
It is not a question now wheth
er Daugherty should ever have
been in the cabinet or not. The
Oregon Statesman has always
thought he ought not to have been.
The question now is, since being
in the cabinet, has Daugherty per
formed satisfactorily. Personally,
this paper believes he should re
sign, as he is an incubus on the
administration and no man is as
big as the administraton, and yet
we resent the attempt to prove
things Daugherty did before he be
came attorney general. The only
subject, ot investigation is his of
fical record. No matter how per
tisan these investigations may be,
the country will not follow them
when they displan an unfair, un
just, malicious spirit
A WROXG IDEA
In a high-school not far from
Salem the story is told that the
students were asked to discuss
whether a high school student
should or should not some cigar
ettes. The faculty jury Issaid to
have decided in favor of the cigar
ette. This whole business is wrong.
The cigarette is under the ban for
high school students, and it is un
fair even to submit this matter to
the students for discussion. This
is a matter that ought to be in
vestigated, because it is not in
harmony with the spirt of the peo
ple of Oregon. ' '

CHAPTER 124
THE WISH LILLIAN VOICED.
Elizabeth Harrison did not ful
fill her threat to leave our home
immediately because of her moth
er's ultimatum to her concerning
her punishment methods. Instead,
with provoking literalness, she
obeyed Mother Graham's com
mand to lie down in her own room
remaining there invisible to every
body save her mother and Mary,
for two days.
Mary, with unfailing cheerful
ness, trudged up and downstairs,
carrying her mother's food trays,
and waiting upon her other whims.
Of course, this performance put
more household work upon the
shoulders of Mother Graham, Lil
lian and me, but from the fact
that my martinet mother-in-law
did not compel her daughter to
get up and take her shore of the
household burdens, I argued that
the sudden tumbling of Mrs. Har
rison's house of cards about her
ears had affected her nerves more
or less seriously.
For myself, I would willingly
have worked three times as hard
for the privilege of having her in
visible. I always had disliked
Elizabeth, but the incident of the
necklace intensified my feeling to
positive loathing, and I 'was glad,
indeed, when at the end of her
two days' seclusion, she departed,
with children and baggage, for
her own home.
"Not About Him."
When Elizabeth had gone, every
thing in our horizons, mental and
physical, seemed to settle down to
a monotonous tranquility most re
freshing after the strenuous days
following our home-coming from
the mountains. Lillian's mind was
at ease temporarily, at least, about
the man in the hospital, whose
mysterious persecution of Katie
had caused so much'trouble. Dr.
Pettit gave her a daily report upon
his condition, which varied from
the first day when he was pro
nounced "barely breathing, and
unconscious," to the tenth, when
the physician said cautiously that
"it now seems as if the miracle
of ultimate recovery might be look
ed for."
"Has he talked?" Lillian de
manded sharply.
"No, he is too weak to do more
than whisper a resuest for a drink
of water or to answer some un
necessary question from the
nurse."
Dr. Pettie hesitated perceptibly
at the end of.his answer, and look
ed at Lillian doubtfully.
"But I think he is worrying
vaguely about something," he said.
"And that worry will no doubt
find expression sooner or later."
"I know," Lillian returned, cup
ped her chin in her hands for a
few seconds, then asked briskly:
"Have there been any inquiries
concerning him at the. hospital to
day?" She had asked the same ques
tion every day that Dr. Pettit had
reported to her, and he had given
her the same answer, a laconic
"No." But today he added a cryp
tic, "Not about him," stressing the
pronoun ever so slightly.
"What do you mean?" Her
tone was tense, alert, and I knew
that -she sensed danger in his an
swer. "Just Read This Letter."
"There was a report asked for
today," the physician said slowly,
"of all mortality and accidental
injury cases occurring in the hos
pital during the last month. Of
course, that covers a much longer
time than the duration of this
man's injuries, but "
"Where did it come from?" Lil
lian demanded, and there was that
in her inflection which told me
how impatient she was of the phy
sician's ponderous periods.
. "It apparently was a simple
request from the police depart
ment of New York City," Dr. Pet
tit answered.
"Of course," Lillian retorted.
That's an old and effective dodge.
It was answered, I suppose."
"It had to be," the physician
returned.
"There's one thing certain." Lil
lian said decidedly, "and that is
that I've got to plan some way
to kee'p track of that fellow when
he gets out of the hospital. How
long can you exercise your author
ity to keep him absolutely incom
municado?"
"Without any stretching of the
truth, I can forbid anyone save
his nurse speaking to him for two
weeks to come. Any physician
would bear me out in this action."
"Good." Lillian rose, and Dr.
Pettit' took the hint and his leave
at the same time.
."Two weeks." Lillian reflected.
when he had gone. "Oh, for' the
Old days before that brother-cous
in of. yours married "'"Katherine
Sonnot and took her away out,
West! I could certainly use her
Just now."
She went to her room and lock
ed herself in, and I knew that she
was wrestling with the problem
which the seemingly innocuous re
quest from the city police depart
ment had given her. ;I could' do
nothing , to help hor. nd I wor
ried accordingly until by evening
my nerves were nothing save a
frazzled edge.
Jerry Ticer with the mail was
a welcome diversion, but as I sort
ed the letters, I pdbneed upon. one
addressed in a familiar ehiro
graphy with a feeling that there
was something almost uncanny
upon, receiving it on this particu
lar day. When I had read it, I
dashed upstairs to Lillian's room
and pounded frantically upon the
door.
"Talk about the long arm of our
old friend Coincidence!" I gasp
ed, when Lillian opened the door,
arching her eyebrows in subtle
disapproval of my haste. "Just
read this tetter from Katherine
LEickett."

in your hand, announce at the

on the table cloth, cloth covered

lend you a dime or a quarter.
Put this dime, or quarter, into
the napkin ring and cover the top
of the ring with !a napkin or a

carefully, and of course the coin
will not be seen because it is held
in place within the napkin ring by
the false covering of the table
cloth. Very easy to perform, but it
works and that's the final test of
whether or not a trick is any good.

It was at this point in the con

with enthusiasm. "We've organ

Mother," Marjorie's face grew

she can't afford those bloomers.
Do you think we could buy two
pairs for me? Then I could tell
Rita that I had an extra pair given
to me and I'd like for her to wear
them." Mrs. White's face wore a
despairing look.
"Do you know how much money
you have spent doing kindnesses
for people this month? she asked.
"No, how much? queried Mar
jorie in return. -
"I really don't know. I couldn't
