Notwithstanding the heavy re-

THE HOG MARKET
.Country, on December. First
mh'pp Than n Ypar Ann
Havei Conie Out Lately in the
of the month at fairly good prices.
The market for loins was rather
spotted.- The sausage business
has been . good, and the demand
for trimmings has been strong.
,The trade in smoked meats was
very good. The ham trade was
better than it ordinarily Is at this
season, of the i year. U Prices of
smoked meats showed little
change during the month, t al
though quotations on the lighter
average weights of. hams 'and ba
con showed a slight downward
tendency during the latter part
So many: light, -hogs have been
coming to market during recent
weeks that the production of
heavier cuts has been somewhat
limited and, as a consequence, the
prices of such cuts, in some cases,
seem to be gradually working up
to a premium lover the lighter
weights. A month ago there was
a price difference of, 2. cents a
pound between l the lightest and
heaviest average weights of sweet
pickled bellies, j Now the differ
ence, still In favor of the lighter
weights, is only one cent a pound.
: Trade in dry salt meats was
verygood and stocks, according to
some provisions men, never have
been so well cleaned up as they
are at present. ;Prices were stable
throughout the, month. Ordinari
ly", stocks of dry salt j meats ac
cumulate during November and
prices decline, j This year, how
ever, the demand from the south
has continued longer than usually,
and the production of these cuts,
owing to the , nature of the re
ceipts, baa Teen limited. " t J
There was a good lard trade,
and stocks are relatively low. ' '
' Although there was some Im
provement in the quality of the
hogs which came to market during
the last two weeks of the month,
yields still are below par. Not
withstanding the fact that product
prices, with the exception of fresh
pork prices, held firm throughout
the month, packers days to day op
erations, based on current market
values, have shown losses In many
Instances. :
Evangelist Leavitt Contin
ues to Draw Good Crowds
A large and attentive audience
heard Evangelist -Leavitt at the
Court Street Christian church last
night. His sermon on "The Plan
of the New Testament" proved in
teresting. The sermon that has
brought much praise from many Is
that given on "Tuesday when the
Evangelist answered the much dis
cussed question "Does Science and
the Bible Agree?" The speaker
said it would be wrong to say that
science and the Bible always agree,
To prove his assertion he gave
many pointed illustrations to show
how science and. the Bible do not
agree and how they do agree. 1 His
dramatic recital of S modern scien
tific discoveries in! contrast with
remote discoveries j and theories
showed how fallible is the mind of
man and how Infallible Is God's
Word. iHe forever exploded -the
theory that a whale cannot swal
low a man when he related the
story, of an , expert whale man's
testimony concernlng'the Industry
on the Pacific coast. " This expert
says there are five species of whale
on this coast. One of these is able
to swallow a baby grand piano.

Ann Powell waa born ! near In
dependence, Missouri, November
20,-,X832. She -united with the
Baptist church-at the age of 16
years and was a charter member
of the church at Providence, Linn
county,:-Ore., at time of death.
She, with : her parents, Joab and
Annie Pcwell, who had a family
of 13 children, nine boys and four
girls, crossed tbe plains by ox
team in 1852, arriving at Scio,
Ore., in the fall of the same year.
She was married to P. G. Carmical

were born nine girls, threo of
whom survive. They are Mrs.
Mary E. Geer, of Cottage Grove;
Mrs. Harriet McDowell, s of Red

the Santiam river , in the Sweet
Home valley near Lebanon, where
they operated a sawmill. From ;
there they went to Sodaville,
where they built the first hotel
and store at that place.
Employment Situation Acute
160 Applications Are
on File at YWCA .
Employment situation In Salem
is acute for this time of. the year.
There are about 160 applications
on file at the office of the Young
Women's Christian Association of
women who are wanting to work
by the day or at a steady job. In
many of the cases the woman of
the house is trying to help out
during the pinch of the winter de
pression. Oft times the husband
or brother has not been able to
secure employment and it is a case
of anyone in the family securing
work.
There Is on file 60 applications
for women who want work by the
day and any housewife in Salem
who has two or three hotirg of
work hich she can hire done would
be giving some woman a chance
to earn needed money, . A phone
call to the Y. W. C. A. Is all that
Is necessary to have a worker call

OPTIMISTIC OUTLOOK
(Continued from pags 7)
Krf-ss h:is provided for the payment of
many similar claims. Those "that re
main unpaid have lKn long pending
The beneficiaries thereunder have ev
ery reason to expect paymont These
claims have been examined by the
court of claims and their validity and
amount determined. The United
States ought to pay its debts. I rec
ommend action by the congress which
will permit of the payment of these
remaining claims.
The Wage Earner '
Two very' important policies' have
betn adopted by this
while extending their benefits also in
other directions, have btn of the ut
most importance to the wajro earners.
One of theso Is the protective tariff,
which enables our people to live ac
cording to a better standard and re
ceive a. better rate of compensation
than any people, any time, anvwhere
on earth, ever enjoyed. This saves
the American market for the products
of the American workman. The other
is a poncy or more recent orifdn and
seeks to shield our wase earners from
th disastrous competition of a great
influx of foreign peoples. This has
been done by the restrictive Immigra
tion law. This saves the American
job for the American workman. I
should like to see the administrative
features of this law rendered a little
more humnne for the purpose of ad
mitting those already here ;ifgreuter
latitude in securing admission of
memliors of -their own' families. But
I believe this law in principle, is nec
essary and sound, Wind destined to in
crease greatly the public welfare. We
must maintain our own economic po-(
sition, we must defend our own na
tional integrity. .
It is gratifying to report that the
progress of industry, tho enormous
increase, i in individual productivity
through labor-saving devices, and the
high rate of wages liave all combined
to furnish our people in general with
Fuch an abundance not only of the
necessaries but of the conveniences ot
life ; that we aro by a, natural evolu
tion solving our problems of economic
and social justice.
The. .Negro
These developments havo brought
about a very remarkable Improvement
in the condition of the negro race.
Gradually,. DU surely, with the almost
universal sympathy of those among
whom they live, the colored people
are working out tlielr own destiny. I
firmly believe that it is better for
all concerned that they should be
cheerfully accorded their full constitu
tional rights, that they should be pro
tected from all those impos-1 ions to
which, from their position, they natur
ally fall a prey, especially from the
crime of lynching, and that they
should receive every encouragement
to become full partakers in all the
blessings of our common American
citizenship.
Civil Service
The merit system has long ben rec
ognized as the correct basis for em
ployment in our civil service. I be
lieve that first, second and third class
postmasters, and without covering . in
the present membership the field
force1 of prohibition enforcement,
should be brought within the classified
service by statute law. Otherwise the
executive order of one administration
is changod by tho executtve order of
another administration, and little real
progress is made. Whatever its de
fects, tho merit system is certainly to

I impart mental Reorganization
One way to save pubikt money
would b lit jkihji the pending bill for
the reorganization of the various de
l)arimi'ns.'j This project has een
pending for som time, and has had
tin most' careful consideration 4f ex
lerts and tlie tlMrongh study of a spe

legislation is ' vital ns -a companion
ptwe to the budget law. ",I-gal au
thority for a thorough reorganization
of tiia . federal .structure with some
latitude of action to the vxecutlve in
the rearrangement of secondary func
tion would make for continuing econ

Army and Navy
. Little luis develop'd in relation to
our national- defense which needs spe
cial attention. Progress is constantly
being mado in air navijpition and re
quires encouragement and develop,
ment. Army aviators have made a
successful trip arouud the world, for
whu-h 1 recommend . suitable recogni
tion through provisions for promotion,
compensation, and retirement. Under
the direction of t tie navy, a new Zep
pelin has been successfully brought
from Europe " across the Atlantic to
our own country. . : -"
Ime to tho efficient supervision of
the secretary of war the army of the
United Stales has been organized wltli
a small ImmIj of regulars and a mod
erate national guard and reserve. The
defense test of September 13 demon
strated the efficiency of the operating
plans. These methods anti operations
are well worthy of congressional sup
port. . . . I- . ; .
Under the limitation of armaments

a considerable decrease in aiaintenam-e

We should maintain , tttff policy I
constantly working toward the full
treaty strength of the isury. Careful
investigation is being made in if! is de
partment of the relative Importance of
aircraft, . surface 'and submarine.- ves
sels, in order that We may not fail
to take1 advantage of , all modern im
provements : for our national defense.
A special commission also- is investi

for the navy, considering the; best pol
icy to insure the future supply of
fuel oil and prevent - the ' threatened
drainage of -naval oil reserves, legis
lative action is required to carry on ex
periments in oil shale reduction, as
large deposits of this type have been
set aside for the use of the navy.
We have been constantly besought i
to engage in competitive armaments.
Frequent reiorts will reach us of the
masmitude of the -military equipment j
of other nations. We sliall do well to
be Utile Impressed by sucn , reports or
such action: Any nation unuertaKing
to maintain, a military establishment
with ae-urressive and imperialistic ue-
signs wilL Jind itself severely handi
capped in the economic, development
of the world; : I believe thoroughly in
the armyi and navy. In adequate de
fense and preparation. But I am op
posed to any policy! of competion in
building and maintaining land or sea
armaments. : ... ,.

quished the old standard' of dealing
with other I countries by terror and

This new policy snouia oe consmu"
kept in mina oy xne guiions
the army and. navy, by the congress
and by the country at large. 1 believe
iti holds a promise of great benefit to
humanity. I r shall resist any attempt
to resort to the oia memoia " "
old standards. I am especially solic
itous that foreign nations should com
prehend the candor and sincerity with
which we have adopted 1 this positian.
While we propose to maintain defen
sive and supplementary police forces
by land and sea. and to train them
through inspections and maneuvers up
on appropriate occasions in order to
maintain their efficiency. I ,wisn ev
ery other nation to understand that
this docs not express any unfriendli
ness or convey any hostile intent. . I
want the armed forces of America
to be considered "by all peoples not as
enemies but as friends, as the contri
bution which is made by this country
for the maintenance of the peace and
security of the world.
Veterans
With the authorization for general
hospitalization of the veterans of ail
wars provided during the present year,
the care and treatment of those who
have served their country In time of
peril and the attitude of the govern
ment toward themes ot now so much
one of needed legislation as on of
careful, generous and humane admin
istration. It will ever be recognized
that their welfare is of the first con
cern and always entitled to the most
solicitous consideration on the part of
their fellow citizens. They are organ
ized in various associations, of which
the chief and most representative is
the. American Ijegion. ,Th rough its of-fi-ers
the legion will present to the;
congress nnmerous suggestions for leg-
islation. They cover such a wida var
iety of subjects that it is impossible ;
to discuss them within the scope of
this message. With many of the pro- ;
pnsals I Join in hearty approval and
commend them all to tho nympathet
ie investigation and consideration of
the congress.
Foreign Relations i
At no period in the past 12 years!
have our foreign relations been in
such a satisfactory condition as they
are at the present time. Our actions
in the recent months have greatly
strengthened the : American policy of
permanent' peace with . independence,
Tim attltuiliv which our government
took and maintained toward an ad
justment of -Kuropean reparations, by
pointing out tliat it was not a politi
cal but a business problem, has dem
onstrated Us wisdom by its actual re
sults. We desire to see Europe rer
stored that it may resume its produc
tivity in the increase of industry and
its support iii the advance of civiliza
tion. We look with great gratifica

old-time recipe, improved.; by the

Ultimately nations, like individuals,
can not dt-iend upon" each nihnr but
must, depend upon Un'Alv8. Kacli

We have every desire to help. But
with all eur resources we are power
less to save unless our efforts meet
with a, constructive response. The sit

only by hard work und self-denial. It
is necessary to reduce expenditures,
increase savhiKS ami . liquidate debts.
It is in this direction tin.' there lies
the greatest hoixj of doinestk tran
quillity and International - peace. Our
own country 'ought to furnish the lead
ing example in this effort' Our' past
adherence to this policy, our constant
refusal to maintain a military -establishment
that could le thought to
menace the security of others, our
lit noruble dealings with other nations
whether great or small, has left us in
the almost constant enjoyment of

in all ways that were consistent with
our proper Independence and our tra

International Law
Our "country should nlno support ef
forts which are lteiug made toward the
codification of international law. We
tan look more hopefully, in the first
instance., for research and studies that
are likely to be productive of results,
to a' coojieratlon among representatives
of the bar and triemlwri of internation
al law institutes and societies, than
to a conference of those; who are tech
nicBllyVrepresentative of their respec

projects have been 'developed, they
must g to the-governments for -their
approval. These, expert professional
studies are going on in certain quar
ters and should have our constant en
couragement and approval. ,
. Outlaw ot War
Much interest has of late been man
ifested in this country in the discus
sion of various proposals to outlaw ag
gressive war. 1 look with great sym
pathy upon the .examination of this
subject. Jt is in harmony with the tra
ditional policy- of our country, which
is against aggressive war and for the
maintenance of permanent and honor
able .peace. While, 'as I have said, we
must safeguard our .liberty to- deal ac
cording to our own Judgment -with our
domestic policies, we can not fail to
view with sympathetic;; interest' all
progress to this desired.. end or care

Foreign Debts
"" About $12,000,000,000 Is due our
government from abroad, mostly from
Kuropean -goyernments. Great Britain.
Finland. Hungary, Lithuania, and, Po
land ,- have negotiated settlements
amounting close to $5,000,000,000. This
represents' the funding of over 42 per
cent of the debt since the creation of
the special Foreign Debt commission.
As the life of this commission is about
to expire,' its term should be extend
ed. I am opposed to the cancellatm
of these debts and believe it tor the
best welfakie of the world .that they
should be7 liquidated and paid as fast
as possible. I do not favor oppressive
measures, but unless money that is
borrowed is repaid credit. can not be
secured in time of necessity, and there
exists besides a moral obligation which
our country can not . ignore and no
other; country can ' evade. Terms and
