OUR GUESTS, THE DOCTORS AND NURSES
" Salenv is proud to entertain, this week, the physicians
and nurses: .They deserve our best.- The physicians are the
high priests of health, and the nurses their most devoted at
tendants. : - . - j . . --V,"
Once a" medical doctor, always a doctor of medicine,
said, in a language fundamental to many modern tongues, the
ancients. You can unfrock a clergyman and; unwed, a hus
band, but you can never put off he handle of the doctor.
l Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, physician, poet, novelist,
essayist, once said to a Harvard graduating class of physi
cians: 44 We reach the creator through his creatures. Whoso
gave the cup of cold water to the disciple gave it to the Mas
ter; whoso received the Master received the Infinite Father
who sent Him. : If performed in the right spirit, there is no
higher worship than the unpurchased service of the medical
priesthood. The "sick man's faltered blessing reaches heaven
through the battered roof ;of. the'hovel before the Te Deum
that reverberates in avast cathedrals.' .
I1 The practice of medicine reaches back to the dawn of
history. There was a doctor at the birth of Jthe race. The
lowly Nazarene broke the Mosaic law to heal the sick. The
doctor is the most unselfish of men. He risks his life for
that of his patient. His first duty is to suffering humanity;,
he considers himself , and. his own comforts and his own
life second o last. History is full of medical martyrs. There
is -no cellar or garret which the messengers of the medical
calling do not penetrate ; never was there a pestilence which
the heroes of . medicine did not brave in their errands of
mercy ; '
. ; And every present day practitioner worthy of his calling
is ready to be the servant of servants Tn the cause of hu.
manity--U.3; ' :u :
. i ; And the leaders standing high in the profession stoop
to of f ices which the white-gloved waiter would shrink from
performing,.. . . , J
-And the Healer of men, the pattern of .the true physi
cian, is. not to be looked down1 upon from any pedestal of
power or opulence in this world, . ;
Arid the heroes of the medical world . are as unselfish
in this day as thev have been at any other time in history.
Witness the great names in the World war; of the most dis
tinguished men of the profession in all nations giving their
unselfish labors and their very lives; to .the wounded and
dying - : - - , yy A
And counting it-a high privilege. .
The craft of the doctor and the nurse is one of the most
progressive of all callings. More important discoveries in
medical science have been made K in the present generation
than in all the generations of men that have gone before-r-And
we here in Marion county have ' reason to feel
grateful for many things at the hands of the physicians
and nurses. This county has been signally blessed by a
great foundation singling it out for demonstrations leading
to health that .will place our people in a favored class among
the whole country's masses in matters of health preser
vation and conservation : i
' ." ; And we are fortunate here in having a body of physi
cians and their, right hands,
best in the great centers of population-- 1 : ff .
And hospitals we have
at the call of. the humble as
need not suffer from comparison with some of the greatest
, For all of which let us
preciative, an4 , make the, honor jof the conventions being
held this week in Salem the occasion f or of f ering the best we
have in good wishes expressed . in hospitality.

a series of killings and hangings.

some of the hangings- particular

horribly murdered his daughter

Karl Wincer, who lives near

charge of bootlegging and lodged
Ju the Marlon county jail.- and R;
tt. Evans, who according to state
prohibition officers ' inadvertantly
led the mtoWincer's place, was
arrested charged with possession
of liquor, late yesterday after
noon. Evans, who Is proprietor of a
grocery store at the four corners
just east of the state penitentiary,
was released on his own recogniz
ance. The two men were brought
back to I Salem early last night
following the arrest of both on
Wincer s place near Mehama.
Evans guided iB. E. Oaks and
another, man, both belonging to
the state prohibition forces,' on a
trip which purported to be for
the purchase, of liquor according
Lto the account given by the" of
ficers. Arriving at their destina-
i tlon , Wincer was summoned and

pleted for the purchase of a gal
lon of moonshine. "This is pretty
good stuff," said Oakes upon ex
amining it. "I'd like to buy about
five gallons of It"
"NO," Wincer is quoted as say
ing. "This is all I have now. In
a couple; of weeks I'll bring some
good stuff down from the moun
tains." Evans had already pur
chased a gallon, but declined to
act as agent for Wincer when
Oaks offered to pay hfm instead

state urging development -, of the
Columbia Tiver basin reclamation
project; from the Farmers Equ

Careful study of the Columbia
river project was promised by the
president, 'who realizes that it in
volves a cost of more than $100.

ing such developments, he would
prefer to have these await the ac
crual of the money from he rec
lamation funds, lie will take
this proposition up with Secretary
Work.
Importance Cited
The Columbia river basin prop
osition, in the words of Senator
Jones, "probably is one of the
largest reclamation proposals in
the United States, a project, the
ultimate development of which is
of vital Importance to the. state.
- Thousands of acres of, arid
land, it is said, would be reclaim
ed for agriculture and northern

territory in Washington, Oregon

young man to b, and he has a
profound sense of duty. l feel

him."
"He's clearly a' remarkable
youth.! said Menelaos, "but 4 can
tell you now, you r mother will
never approve of him'. You "must

mother and Orestes. : ,
' 'l choose Orestes now,", said
Hermione. . : - '
"111 stand by you, said Mene

er won't have her way. How does
he feel about his parents?"
v "He worships his father," said
Hermione. "Of course he grieves
oyer his mother's conduct, but she
is his mother, after all. and Aga
memnon hasn't treated her any too
well. Orestes is terribly unhappy.
I've advised him at every stage'
he has no one else to consult."
"What's the matter with his sis
ter what's . her name Electra?"
asked Menelaos.
, "He can't see her.", said Hermione.-
"She's -at home, in a very
dangerous position. ; hoping to
warn her father, or help him, when
he gets back. She hurried Orestes-out
; of the way . as Soon as
Aegisthus became the head of the
house; she said Aegisthus would
n't let him grow up to take re
venge. That's why he's leading
such, an unsettled life; he's hiding,
yet watching for the moment his
father will return and need him."
"But even if we : grant thai
Orestes is in trouble not of his
making. "and that he knows his
own "mind, he still . may be the
wrong husband for you. How's
i( ; all going to come out? How
am I to arrange- a wedding lor
you?: can't, have anything to do
with Aegisthus, and I wouldn't be
caught in the'same town with Cly

Agamemnon comes home and puts
his house In order; then we can
his house in order; then We can
see what's left. In the meantime.
hadn't you better postpone making I
np your mind about Orestes? ! Oh,
yes, I know, you're In .love with
him -no objection to that but
don't do anything hasty. ' I haven't
a thing against Orestes nothing
whatever, and strictly speaking I
don't' blame him for his parents.
But Clytemnestra does spoil it all
for me, I must say. .1 wish, you
could find a safe young man whose
