Psalm WATER FOR There is plenty of water for still water in the Willamette, as has during the low water period been shown the past season j 'V 4': For the Salem Navigation company has been able to keep Its steamer, the Northwestern, making trips the whole season, drawing a barge, and it is the first time this has been accomplished in many years. . The last trip of the boat and barge up the river, arriving Sunday," more than two hundred tons of freight were car ried from Portland to Salem. All that is needed is the straightening of the channel, and the confining of the water in one channel at all of the points where such work is, essential. And the making of this work permanent. Not merely the dredging, out of the channel in the summer, which has been the practice up to this year, but the building of per manent wing dams, and, if found necessary, the construc tion of dams and locks, to give permanent still water, which, the writer understands, is to be the practice and policy of the United States engineers. NOT TARIFF The Portland Journal of last evening devotes a leading editorial to a condemnation of the present tariff law - Especially on account of the high cost of ship building in this country; claiming that it costs 40 per cent more to build a-merchant ship in America than it does in Ger many, England, the Scandinavian countries or Italy; claiming that the tariff rates of this country make "every thing that goes into the ship cost more than abroad " This is -not true ; not as to "everything that goes into ihe ship." As to salaries and wages, theprincipal items of cost, yes. This is true because of higher standards of Jiving in this country than those of the countries men tioned, or other countries where many ships are built. What the United States needs in order to secure more ship building in this country, and to build: up an adequate merchant marine, is not a lowering of our tariff rates and a consequent lowering of American wages and standards of living, but p3eferentjal duties in favor of American bottoms. ' J This was the thing that built up the great' American marine during the 61 years up to 1850 It was the policy of the fathers of our Republic; it was in the first tariff law passed by them. " The editorial writer of the Portland Journal, will create no ripple over its attacks upon our tariff rates. The "members of the party of that paper (the Democratic party) in most if not all sections of the country, including the south, are clamoring for the retention of the protective duties, 'or higher rates', or the inclusion of articles now on the free list - '' " j And the fact is that the protective tariff is the established American policy - And it is the established policy of Great Britain and Ger many and all the other commercial countries of the world ? Attacks on the tariff In this country are mostly made with ihe Idea of stirring up blind partizan zeal; a sop to a senti ment that is about as dead now as Julius Caesar, excepting in the breasts of Silurians who have riot" kept up with the trend of events - , ..- ;- ; Either this, or in the interests of a 'few international bankers and a coterie of importers' of foreign good); who think lower rates 01 more articles on the free list might help their business. ' ' . , :f These latter are no friends ofiAmrica.: They are friends of no one but their own selfish selves And Americans who are hired or duped bv them are little if. any better or higher in the scale of manhood. '' TRAVELER'S AND ' A well informed man remarked yesterday -upon the new buslines of the Southern Pacific being established y . i 'Perhap? more than seven round trips in And put of Salem. v He id this' will mean a number of , new fnmflies Jn Salem; tie families of the drivers-wha will be obliged; to or will rrefrr to live in the capital city. ;r ; But this is not all. bv any means. The new buses wi!l make more'travel. More peopje will come! into and.iro out of Salem, and make. Ions: or short Rtops here. This will increase the number of dollars pf the traveler and tourist left here - . Nimble dollars: dollar's; that will p!iss through ' many hands and stimulate trade in all -times v i j r' ' v r- Tlie man being quoted predicted that the Southern Pa cific buses will make more travel on all other bus lines in and out of Salem. :n .'v'- v I Will standardiiT.thai;tkiiid f ' People will come to, Salem to atterrd our splendid theaters, to sec our first skyscraper, to visit our state institutions, - etc., etc. - - ' V'' -4 - Thus Salem is becoming a transportation center. : That means a constant increase .of r the nimble dollar ; of the 4ravelcr arid touriL It means a greater and greater Salem.

' "Can the messenger reach him before he starts ;or shortly af ter?" said Helen. 'It wouldn't do to turn him back from your very door. If you coud get word that your brother ia dead, and that my sUter kiled him Phrrhus be glad to understand why we can't have him at present." "I'll do that" asid Menelaos. i i never wanted him and it's not too late if the messenger hurries. There's another -4hing. Helen. hear that one pf 'your girls In the house has been misbehaving." "Nope of them,' so far as I know," said Helen. "Yes. ' what's her name Adra- ste is In trouble." 'If you call it misbehaving," said Helen. Trouble is the more accurate word.: A very respectable young man. in the neighborhood has been making love to her." "Damastor Isn't it? Ycju told me something about the affair a while ago.' "Yes," said Helen, vit's Damas tor." A very decent sort of boy, I've always thought. I didn't imagine he'd do anything improper.' "He -wouldn't in a direct way, but he has plenty of what you might call negative meanness. He made love to Adraste, as 1 say, and persuaded her that they "were soul-mates, with vows of eternal-j faithfulness and promises, to marry her. A very old story. He meant it aU- he's not a bad boy. But his mother has sent him out of harm's way, as she puts it and he has allowed himself to be sent. In plain words, Adraste is de serted." "You mean she has been living with him?" "She wil have a child very soon. I'm trying to cheer her up all I csn. She's little more than a child herself; I wish she had been spared this early cruelty." "Before it's too late we'll send the girl to some place where the child can be born without involv ing us," said Menelaos, "After ward I'll provide for its support so long'aa they stay away. Have you any place to suggest?' "None," said Helen. "And It's not necessary. This is really the most convenient place I know.' ; , "I don't, think you understand mo,' said Menelaos. 'I said that the child should not be born in this house. It will do Hermonie no good to become accustomed to such events in a supposedly well- ordered home. She Is full of rath er advanced ideas already and environment should be more nor mal rather than less so." "If Hermione were to talk with Adraste now." said Helen, "she would see in the poor girl no encouragement to vice, no possible inducement toward indiscreet con duct. She might even learn frcm Adraste in her present de spondent mood, to avoid love al together, and. to distrust all men." ""'Take your choice," said Mene laos. 'Either you will aid me in sending that girl to a place we agree.on or I'll have her put out of this house." "I dare you to!" said Helen. "Now that's a fair challenge.- I doubt if you can get any one to A Picture-Story of the Drama by Laurence Stallings and .

Your men wouldn't lay a' finger on that girl. I defy you to give the order. Wouldn't it be rare justice if Pyrrhus came along Just as the heroic Menelaos was throwing out into the street "a Bick and helpless girl, about to become a mother! You : could explain it to him afterward couldn't you! You could say it was a belated but needed house cleaning. The servants, you could say, were beginning to behave as badly as the gentle folk, and since you couldn't reform your relatives you had decided to discharge . the domestics. I. wish Achilles could hear that!" "Very witty, I'm sure," said Menelaos, 'but you can't taljc me put of it. Adraste can leave quietly, or if she insists on stay ing where she isn't wanted, I'll have to put her out!" He waited for Helen to speak, but she said nothing. She looked calm and much at her ease. "Now see here, Helen," said Menelaos, "what will you do with Adraste if she stays? She won't be of any possible use to you, "with a baby to look aftar, and there's no future for her when the child grows up." "She'll be a companion always she's one of the best and I like children," said Helen. "She'll be a daughter in the house when Hermoine marries and leaves us." "Hermoine isn't going to marry very soon," said. Menelaos. "She won't have Pyrrbus and I won't have Orestes." "But Hermoine will, I think," said Helen. She's going to marry Orestes. Didn't you know that?" "I didn't and I don't," said Menelaos. "Well she is," said Helen "and you might as well make up your mind to it. I don't want it any more than you do, but we can't stop it." f "She shan't marry Orestes! I've forbidden it!" "You've done all you could." said Helen, "and she will do what she likes. Don't worry about having to negotiate with Clyteninestra; I'm sure Hermione will tell .us some day they're al ready married or she'll . tell nre I'm to ; be a grandmother. I shan't ask you to throw her out of the house." "Helen I'd like to meet you half way," said Menelaos." "You were right about OresteW, when I still believed - In him . I'll join yo-fl in preventing his marriage to Her moine if you'll arrange with me to get Adraste off. somewhere to aVn old talk.- People like ymr neigh bor Charitas " 4 "In this case Charitas won't talk." said Helen. Yon forget she is hiding the missing husband. As for Hermione, ! mant'what said - we are powerless. Bu whether We are of not, I stand by Adraste. It's a point of honor. I love the girl and she is in trouble. Menelaos, if you are cruel to Ad raste I shall become your impla cable enemy. My family have a gift for bate though until now I never cultivated it." "I daresay you could emulate Clytemnestra if you wished," said Menelaos. "My dear husband, if I wished I could surpass her! Clytemnestra was crude and unnecesarily vul gar. But I shan't become your enemy unless, you force the issue World War back" to Char nacK to wnar- . uuxeu up wiin jnem. . . r.

MI hope I may be able to dis cern the difference when you stick the knife into me,", said MenelaoM. . "Meanwhile I'll 1 take, my chance. Adraste Is to go; that's understood. You and I are to be mortal enemies; that's understood also. Do you mind telling me just how the war between us is to begin?" ' "There are several possible ! ways." said Helen. You might kill me consider Troy merely! postponed. That would be rather nea t ; ; Agamemnon's brother gett-! irig even with Clytemnestra' sister! Or you might "carry -out your threat and tell your men to put Adraste on the street.; If l hey disobey, you might carry her but yourself. I advise the first course." , ' ' . "And I flaresay.-in your present resigned mood, you'll wait for the faar blow to fall." ' "Yes. said Helen, 'unless Pyr rhus arrives first." "Ah, that's it. Is it? What will he do for you?" "I suppose that depends on what I ask him to do and that of course, that depends on what you decide to do. . . Oh, Menelaos, what's the use of this half-hearted way of quarreling? You are a kind man, and naturally easygoing. You won't do any thing unkind to Adraste, I know perfectly well and I understand the embarrassment her plijs causes you. I'm sorry! If I let such things bother me, I should be' em bar rased too, for people will say my bad example led her to do wrong. As' things have turned out I'm sorry I asked you to have Pyrrhus; you invited him because I wanted it, and now I own it was a mistake on my part. But wouldn't you say all this is a small matter in comparison with what you and I .have on our hearts? When I think of my sister, of our girlhood, of what she has done, Adraste's predicament seems far from the worst of tragedies. Mean ness and treachery are the. tragic things, aren't they? And seeing life out of proportion. Let's be friends, dear husband! Why should it be unpleasant to remem ber that once we were lovers?" (to be continued) Copyright. 1925, by the Bobbs Merrill company.
