HOW TO WIN: -Trust In the
dwell in lb land, and verily thou
Commit thy way unto the Lord;
brio: it to pass. Psalm 37: 3, 5.
PITY THE POOR EDITOR
. 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

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

cost of operation is general.

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.

CHAPTER 474
What Grace Draper
Threatened
When She Discovered Kather- '
toe Was in the Next Itoom ;
"If you weren't so cross," Linda
whined childishly, "I could tell
you a lot more about that nurse.
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.
PROBLE
NECESSITY
Lay off the hooch, even, if you get
a chance to steal some cgain which
you won't. I settled that chef's
hash Just now." j ."
"Did you tell him I; snitched
some out of his bottle? 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.

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.
One of the scenes was an anlmai'
act in which two" really danger
oua lions were used mainly for at
mosphere. The first night's per
formance had not exactly met with
success." ; .,. ' 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."
"But, my word, old dear," inter
rupted the Briton, anxiously, "how
do you know' the bally thing is
there?"

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,

and impartial trial, was done.
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. (He bad excellent abil

congressman from March 4, 1877,
