The lot of any conscientious editor of a newspaper in a city the size Of Salem, or in; most ny city, would be made much easier if his friends would observe some of the simple rules that are dictated by( common sense and a due consider ation for the time and patience of an over worked man For instance: M ; In sending news matter, please make it plain; and use a typewriter if possible, unless you write a plainer hand than w usual . :, ' : i-;- f" . - And, above all things, make the names, but the printer may be a new man, and so may be the proof reader, and even the copy reader. The names that are plain to you.may be as Greek to one or all three of these. -The editor regrets mistakes in names, or in words or sentences, as much as you do; more. But there are thousands of words and sentences and names in each issue of a news paper even the size of The Statesman. And to err is human. Consider this in i preparing copy for the newspaper. ; And another thing: ; j The editor qf The Statesman has been on the job a long time. He is known by 50,000 or more people in Salem and the Salem district. He would like to personally attend to the . matters of news of each of the 50,000. But this is manifestly impossible. The job has grown too large. There are only twenty-four hours in a day- t j ; So please remember that there are reporters and office help who can attend to your wants as well or better than the editor. However willing the editor may be, there are limits to his time and his strength. He is a willing slave for sixteen hours a day, all his waking moments; but beyond this he cannot go. f THEIR MEMORIAL " (Portland Journal.) j ' t Mothers who lost their sons in "the World war led a Memorial, day parade to the east approach of Broadway bridge Saturday. ,'! . j : It was a unique and pathetic ceremony. i Upon the quiet flood of the Willamette they scattered roses" in memory of the heroes slain. With the petals fell their tears, a more personal memorial to sons who never came home.- " - . . There were fathers, too, at the side of the bridge while and automobiles hurried by.? There were ex-service men men scarred byi the wounds of the'Argonne, and men almost equally scarred by the struggle and discouragement since in the economic order. r ; Ah escort for the War persons of military students whom another war would claim from their mothers ancf who would have a preparation for it - i. -ii ; T I : :Y-- ' ; They were reverent people those who had stepped out of the, ranks of life for a little time.

' '-' ' - - ;.v-W -" ' can GOVERNMENT Closer coordination is government, national, state and municipal, j Needless dupli cations are just as reprehensible in national departments at Washington as elsewhere. Duplication of work is waste since it requires more service anii larger costs to the taxpayers. In weeding out this duplicity of work and , in striving to coordinate departments to -reduce the requirements of em ployment ,to a! minimum the President, has' the commenda tion of the nation's citizenry. J , . S ; ' ' In state institutions there is much overlapping of boards and commissions.; But there are noted here and there move ments toward elimination and' coordination. Michigan,rIlli hois, Washington have been leaders in this effort to coordi nate and thus cut, expenses of government, and in spite of herculean, efforts of office holders and keen-visioned politi cians to discredit it, progress toward greater efficiency and reduction in costs of government; has been made. - -In most cities of medium size municipal and county government overlaps. For instance there is the police force and, the sheriffs force of officers covering practically the same; territory. The belief government can ordinarily be and county government with cost of operation is general. other cities and counties of What is true of the executive branches of city and county governments is also true of ,ither departments' of the 'same unit.

' J - . j-v I AN URGENT Is it possible that within this city a life saving j. instru ment of so great importance as the pulmotor could not be found ready for service on Sunday last ? Frequently in cities the size of Salem there is demand for, its immediate use. When through accident or otherwise human life is in the balance it is only reasonable to expect that through the city service departments as fire, police or health this instrument could be obtained for immediate use. j In Sunday's accidental drowning which shocked the community no pulmotor in working order was found; in this city. One was obtained from Independence but too! late to be of effective service. 4 i v No excuse had been offered to justify this neglect. And to acknowledge th lack of this public service equipment is our discredit., ,To provide at once against a repetition of the recent emergency heed or others in which the use of their instrument is essential, should be the city's first concern.

Grace Draper eyed her keenly. "I'm not cross, you little fool," she said indulgently. "Go ahead and spill all the gossip you've got in your system." s "Well, in the first place she isn't a prisoner, like this one" she . jerked a contemptuous hand toward me. "She's here to take care of the sick man, and she's allowed to go through the halls most times, and down to the kitch en at certain hours. And the man is somebody's white-haired boy all right. The Prince himself came to see him last night." ;"The devil he did!" Grace Drap er ejaculated. "Now, what does that mean?" Madge Pleads for Katherine. .She strode up and down the room for a few seconds, evidently pondering Linda's revelation. "I don't like the Idea of the nurse," she said at last. "The man ia probably one of us. I wonder if she Is. What does she look like?" :l - : ' "She ain't a bad-looking dame," Linda said judicially. "A bit smaller than this one, with brown hair and , brown eyes, and little bits of hands." Without warning, Grace Draper whirled and fixed her eyes upon my face. In my tense Interest In Linda's description of Katherine Bickett I had forgotten Lillian's first commandment of a "poker face," and I saw, too late, that Grace Draper, her memory chal lenged by Linda's description, had discovered my intense ' interest in Linda's description, j "So!" she said after a second's deliberation. "I think I'll get 'a lamp at this nurse." ! - ..' j, -; She hurried out of the room while i sat sick. with terror, and when she came back' a few min utes later, her body was quivering with' rage. ;;j : "! thought so," she said, tower ing above me. "She's your friend, and she's been planted in this job. Well," there's one -com fort! Neither she nor you will ever get out of here to spill anything." : For Katherine I did. what '. I would have scorned to do for my self: - ,.' . ; ' ; . . ,n : : . . I - i "She stood by you' once." I re minded her, "for weeks brought you back from death itself " " I'd Start the Third DegTee-r-" A sneering little laugh Inter rupted me. ; .. S You'll probably admit yourself that she might have been in better business," she said, and there was no hint of any. softening in her tone. "Nay, nay, little one,' she went on mockingly, "don't delude yourself.. I haven't a hundredth cubic inch of soft feeling left in my system for anybody, let alone any friend of yours." , -VI have no delusions concerning you," I answered with a steady voice, "nor would I have asked any favor for myself." She laughed again, and there was something in her laughter far more sinister than imprecations. "Which shows yon have a lin gering remnant of common sense,' she commented, then turned to Linda, r . ' f : J "YouH probably have this1 baby on your hands ' until tomorrow, Linda." she said. Til relieve you some time in the night so you can get some sleep, and I'll look In on you once in awhile. Blast her she can sleep if she wants to, while .I've got" enough on hand to 'wear out a yoke of oxen.! If I had my way I'd start the tWrd degree with her today, but the orders are to treat ; her pretty well ; until her time comes. Sort of fattening the missionaries for the cannibal ket tle stunt, I guess, i Now, you re member .what I. told you, Linda.

Did you?" Linda cried in dismay, j But Grace Draper swept out Qf the room without designing any other answer than a curt command to keep the door locked. Linda stood looking after her, futile an ger shadowing her .weak, face, while I, alternating between stark terror of the sinister possibilities at which Grace Draper bad hinted, and the belief that she was manu facturing most of hef cryptic threats In order to weaken my nerve, watched furtively eagerly, for a chance to play upon Linda's irresolute, enfeebled mind. (To be continued) :;-"!,'.-" The man who had just arrived at the summer resort turned to the man sitting in the next chair on the veranda. "Say, I don't understand," he remarked, "why they call this ho tel 'The Palms.' There isn't a palm tree in sight." . ; -"You just wait," his neighbor answered. "You just wait till you want some of the help to do. any thing for you." A troupe of ambitious actors, whose existence as such was due solely to their ambition, had un fortunately booked a college town.

' j The curtain was about to go up for the act of the two comedians. One of them was to enter from the far side. Suddenly his partner rushed around behind the curtain. "Get out on the stage! The lions are loose." ! "No." replied the other, who bad been peeking out at the audi ence. "You go on out on the stage I'll stay back here j with th lions." r An American in dear old Lon don was bragging about his auto mobile. He ended his eulogy by declaring: .'. "It runs so smoothly that you can't feel it; so quietly you can't hear it; has such perfect Ignition you can't smell It, and as for speed boy, you can't see it."

PEOPLE: , THE TRIAL OP ntALH AND BAKER IX 1805 fe r n. jntmre to the Memory of Lawyers In the 'Case 1 Editor Statesman: I ! Mem the The articles written by "Old Timer" and "Native jOregonian" concerning the trial ! and execu tion of Beale and Baker for ! the murder of Daniel Delaney in 1S65, which recently appeared in 'j the columns of The Statesman, were of an interesting character, particu larly to those who belong to the f pioneer period of Salem. However, the criticism of N.! T. Caton, David Logan land Rnfus Mallory, prominent and distin guished lawyers whi were en gaged in the practice .of law at that time in Salem .twere some- what severe if not un, ust to these gentlemen. N. T. Caton Was associated with David Logan, C. q. Curl sand Judge B. P. Bonhamj in the de fense of Beale and -Baker. ! He did nothing but what! any honor able attorney should ko see .that his clients had a fair tial trial. He stood and impar well as a lawyer In Walla WAIla, Wash where he moved to practice law. C G. Curl was clerk of the su preme court of Oregon, a splendid lawyer, and died in bur city re spected and honored by all;j our people. B. F. Bonham became in dee of the circuit court of the Third ju dicial district, including the coun ties of Marion, Linn, j Polk, Yam hill and Tillamook, consul to In dia and postmaster at Salem f David Logan was a notable law yer. His forensic ability was ad mitted by all. He was the, son of Judge Logan of S.pringfield; 111., the friend and associate of Abra ham Lincoln.'! ' He was a.- high minded and honorable member of the bar of this state, j He was not a politician.' He was too frank and outspoken to be what is called popular among the bass of the voters. Mr, Logan was no hypo crite; Everybody knew how he stood, on all .questions. ; Always said what he meant. iHad nothing to Conceal. ' This class of men sel dom hold office. The . trimmers and double dealers a$ a rule occu py positions of trust and as a con sequence the 1 taxpayers and citi zens suffer thereby. With the ex ceptions of the little frailties of life, there was no one among the pioneer lawyers of our state who stood higher for honor and In tegrity than David Logan. CAs no appeal ! was taken 'from the trial in circuit court to the supreme court, it clearly indicates that the lawyers for the defense were right in every way and that. which they were required to do, see that their clients had a fair TCHINGS I .

Legal ethics at least compelled them to pursue this course. As to Rufus Mallory, the repu tation as a lawyer which he had achieved in the trial of this case gave rhim the nomination for con gress and resulted in his election. The evidence was all circumstan tial and the way Mr. Mallory ar ranged and presented ' it to the court and Jury showed his ability as a lawyer. He was not a case lawyer, but well grounded in the principles of the law. His liter ary knowledge was well known. As a student of Shakespeare be had no equal at the bar. If he had seem fit to follow the stage he would have become an eminent actor. As an elocutionist he had unusual ability. : ' r : i Another ablelawyer who par ticipated: in the trial of this case was Richard Williams, well known to the pioneeer element of our city and state.
