The quarrel, which was a sen satlonal one, broke In ,19.09 as a direct outcome of -Senator Forak ROD EVELT.E DEO on QUARREL er championship of the cause of some of the Negro regular troops who were ; summarily dismissed ibm the army by Roosevelt after ' 4tye affair at Brownsrille, Tex. i '?). .,..-,....1:7. .1, The BrowusTlU riot, as.it was men c&iiea, lnToiTeu neiro iroop of the rerular army. It assumed the proportions of, a nationwide controyersy when : President Rooserelt dismissed a whole bat talion. Senator Foraker, one of the stalwart Republican leaders of his day, and one of the circle of confidants which surrounded President McKinley, occupied a position with President Rooserelt until the two men differed over the merits of the President's wholesale dismissal of at least some of the Negro troops. Senator Foraker assailed Pres ident Roosevelt's course openly in the senate and the President had struck back in characteristic fash ion. The smouldering volcano did not come into full eruption, however, until an occasion in Jan liarr. 1909. when both men were l guests at a Gridiron Club dinner li la Washington.

The Senator did for 28 minutest while 300 specta tors held their breaths for what was described as a battle between gladiators. Neither spared words or per sonalities and the report of the proceedings says that when Presi dent Roosevelt attempted to reply in rebuttal to Senator Foraker he was almost drowned out by the" hum of conversation among the excited diners. 'As a result of that occasion friendship between the two men was suspended. Their hostility became so much talked about In the news of the day that It furn ished the material for cartoons, quips and even stage jokes. Srf far as anyone knows. It re mained thus qntil 1912 when, a few .months before Col. Roose velt's nomination at the Chicago Progressive Convention, he wrote Senator Foraker complimenting him. on his pamphlet on the au thorship of the Sherman anti trust law and at its conclusion in.

" Salem, Oregon ;V . . ." L Governor Walter M. Pierce found time from executive duties to pilot the Fordson "iron horse" for a few turns around the state penitentiary farm, during the Fordson day tractor demonstration put on by the Valley Motor company. Governor Pierce is seen here at the wheel of the modern farm im plement. Sam A. Kozer, secretary of state, is seen standing second to the right of the governor, and Manager Phillips of the Valley Motor company is back of Mr. Kozer, to the right. The committee of Judges were Walter M. Pierce, governor, Sam A. Kozer, secretary of state; Oliver Pi Coshow, supreme court justice, Frank Durbin. Jr . Leroy Hewlett, Walter Taylor, farmer at the peni tentiary, and F. A. Doerfler, farm advisor of the First National Bank. Four acres of ground was plowed, disced ana narrowed, under bed was made at a cost of $1.33 an acre. vlting Senator. Foraker to call. 1 The senator, apparently wiping out old scores, wrote a friendly reply, but declined the colonel's invitation, because, he wrote: "I have some fear that knowledge of such a call, if it should get into the newspapers, might be exploit ed in such a way as to cause em barrassment to both of us. Some other time when circumstances are more propitious I shall drop in for a few minutes in memory of old times." The printed record of their cor respondence shows no more until 1916 when Senator Foraker sent Colonel- Roosevelt his two vol umes of meroirs and the Colonel acknowledged them in a letter in which he expressed what Senator Froaker's' friends may regard as an amende. Colonel Roosevelt In quite a lengthy letter which contained other refreences. wrote: "Not only do I admire your en tire courage and straightforward ness (in the railway rate legisla tion I respected you a thousand times more than I did many of the men who voted for the bill) but I also grew steadily more and more to -realize your absolute Americanism and your capacity for generosity and disinterested ness." w Then at its conclusion Colonel Roosevelt penned the following paragraph which will be of inter est to both his friends and Sena tor Foraker's and of special in terest to the latter 's. He wrote: "There is no use raking up the past - now, but there were some things told me against you, or in reference to you, which (when I consider what I know now about my Informants) would have car ried no weight with me at the time had I been as well informed as ' at present." The letter was dater at Oyster Ray, June 28, 1916. Friendly and brief acknowledgement folloVed from Senator Foraker. He wrote: "Notwithstanding our differenc es of opinions on some subjects, there never has been a moment since the beginning of our ac quaintance when I was not an ar det admirer of your great intel lectual power, fervent patriotism and fearless courage." Thus apparently . an historic friendship. Interrupted by an his toric quarrel, was resumed while both men lived: French Bike Races Vehicle for Jean Painleve's Film PARIS The classic six-day bi cycle grind is ' being to furnish Monsieur Jean Painleve, son of the mathematician and statesman, Paul Painleve, and a promising scientist himself, the theme for a sporting film that is to be sold for the benefit of French laboratories.

Salem, spent Saturday morn ing inspecting the state peniten tiary. y Mr. Mell, stopping over on his way to San Francisco, declared that the American Bible society secured its largest circulation dur ing 1925 of any year in its 110 years existance. More -than 9,- 062,000 volumes in 150 langu ages having been sold. Of these, 4,000,000 went to China and 2, 04)0,000 to Japan.

BLI6H THEATRE TO OFFER VAUDEVILLE New Show From the Hippo drome Circuit Is to Play in Salem Today The "Variety Follies" as the headline set at the Bligh theatre today, is an international dancing frolic. It takes the spectators from country to country, stopping in each only long enough to intro duce the most typical terpsicho iean steps of the several peoples. As staged, its personnel includes six people four girls and two men. Among the bright, colorful en sembles, which range from Span ish to Russian, are numerous solo or Phone Ray L.

These include toe and collegiate stepping, a duo ensemble for the hula, a trio for a pony canter and the dashing Bolahevic finale. Jonathan is a man of versatility and many parts. First he makes a thousand friends with his sure fire line of patter. "Being a sue cess" at that as his welcome be speaks, he surprises by turning cartoonist and draws national celebrities at lightning speed. His depiction of "The Vanishing Amer ican" in six colors in 60 seconds is a masterpiece. "Sweethearts" is a comedy sketch of sheer fun. It tells of the man who was "coaxed into a drink" and the ensuing events aft er he reaches home. As present ed by Bell and Bellgrave, its lines are clean, witty and always In good taste. Bray and Smith, "The Unique Acrobats Unusual, live up to their name in both startling and amusing fashion. Oae "does a dizzy waiter" in all his glory and the other imitates a frog with a dexterity that amazes. Not con tent with "taking" a dozen hard falls, one of them twists his body completely around and picks up a handkerchief with his teeth. Bbve, the eccentric violinist, plays the violin like a cello. His repertoire is tuneful, catchjng and altogether a treat. He is an artist and a comedian as well. Education by Mail Urged Upon Boys of All Nations YELLOW SPRINGS, O. Edu cation by mail, direct from subject to student, is being put in practice for American boys by Dr. Sven V Knudsen, professor at Antloch college here. "My Friend Abroad is the name given by Dr. Knudsen to his system which consists of letter writing between boys in America atid boys abroad from Lapland to the Argentine, from Jerusalem to Singapore, from Poland to Trinidad. "Education through letters writ ten from one boy to another can be made into a more personal thing than can text books written for quantity consumption," Dr. Knudsen believes. "If we can only bring geography, sociology and such subjects.-which deal with,the surrounding world, closer to a boy's personal life, he will like them ever so much more." It's Here!

"All summer long, but especial ly in the hottest weather, I work with fur coats and mittens on. I must chase husky dogs over Snow drifts.
