A NUISANCE If The Statesman is making: ing away on the idea that Salem should at once get behind the linen mills in a large way, and provide them with funds to carry oh capacity operations ..' Then this newsDamr is croud to be a nuisance. The late Mrs. W. P. Lord z ars of the people of this section, and of the whole state, " the fact that we could produce the highest quality of fiber flax in the world. iV She went to the Philadelphia centennial to prove it; and 'proved it. She went to the Courtrai of the best flax district in Europe, to prove it; and proved it. She attended the tariff hearings of the ways and means committee of congress in order to secure the proper pro tective duties for flax products; and secured them. Con gressman Fordney, chairman name honors the present tariff - work was the thing that clinched the matter. This story might be lengthened indefinitely. Mrs. Lord iii tm t 1 1 .1. T J ,1 A V, made nerseu a gracious nuisance, uui sue persiet-cu, ouu ; faithful and intelligent work brought results. The state ? flax industry was started. The two linen mills have come And we are on the verge of only a little more money, comparatively, to get quantity production of yarn, the raw and we will get the specialty mills Employing thousands of people. If a tax could be levied on the property of the valley coun '. ties, to provide the money now needed, it would all be paid f back in increased taxable property values in a few years. This is the biggest thing on for this valley; for this state. CORPORATION FORM FOR SALEM Mayor Livesley in his annual message informed the people of Salem that the council committee working on that task is expected to have the draft of the new city charter ready for submission at the Mav election Also that the new draft is cil-manager" form of municipal government. Salem has twice voted down proposals for different kinds of commission forms of city government. But it will likely carry the proposed form, if the work of the committee shall nrove to have been carefully performed. The commission form of city government had or so years ago. Among many cities of the country, Port land adopted that form, and has retained it. There, three commissioners both make and the kvws, and have general supervision over the control of all the-citv's activities. Then came the general manager style, in which one man, called ments and has charge of the city's business affairs, beverai Oregon cities tried this form. The latest is the "council-manager" form, or more gen ially termed corporation form, the mayor standing in the place of the president of a large corporation, the councilmen asdirectors, and the mayor with or without the consent of "the councilmen appointing the heads of departments; the laws or ordinances being made by the council. This is the easiest form of ment to adopt, lor tne reason r are likely to fear they will lose their direet representatives ; Viir xwnrrl.o: Theoretically, the commission form such as Portland has is best. Every commissioner represents the best interests of the city as a whole. But in actual practice that kind of city government is likely to favor. 5 GOOD SWEET CHERRY ADVICE .The' following is taken from the state market agent. As it rnlumns of the annual cherry man of December 29th, it is taken as a compliment by this awolfont oViprrv advice : "The following advice is recommended for the successful growing of sweet cherries in western Oregon: Use Mazzara stock, set in the orchard, for grafting; use pollenizers; keep fcnnpv heea: tmine DroDerly. , Decially is this necessary in most years in the production of high quality black sweet cherries, uxe LAmDerxs ana nui.

Some of the excerpts follow: "1 am very sorry to be em barrassed by your letter of in quiry as to Rev, R. L. Payne. 1 do not recall the paper to which you refer that has my eignature, but whatever it is it was given years ago. I expect I wrote the paper and there was a time when to have done so would have given me pleasure, but ales those days are long passed. I cannot believe that Mr. Payne would give me as a reference now. He went into the ministry from the church of which at the time I was pastor. I for years called him one of my boys, i When more than once he was charged with conduct unbe coming a minister I allowed It if true to be due to his youth and zeal I do hope a mistake may not be made there as was made tfa Warrensburg." M. P. Hunt, pas ter of ; the Eighteenth Street Bap tist church. Louisville, Kentucky. "Mr. R. L Payne was not called to my church. Nothing could in duce me to vote In favor of call ing blin. He does not bear a rep utation for being honeet. He had serious trouble everywhere he has been. I Two or three places in Mis souri. ( one in Oklahoma, one In Louisville, Ky.. and one In Flori da. I hare known Payne since be fore he went to college. X hare been thinking for years that his credentials ought to be taken away from him." Rev. E. W. Barnes, Lyons, Kentucky. . "I hare known Rev. Payne for some 1 15 year and there never has been any-personal matter be tween us. Ministerial ethics would well nigh prohibit my saying a word of censure now. Only for the good of our churches am I in duced jto speak, but knowing him and his work as-1 have for that time, will say that any church takes a grave risk in calling him for pastor unless they are desir ing to have their church torn to pieces. It grieves me to say what I have. If the affair at Warrens burg had been all one should try to overlook it." Rev. W. B. Mc- Graw, pastor at Sedalia, 'Mo. I wish to say we made a seri ous blander in calling Mr. Payne without making a thorough inves tigation. He divided our church in a short while and gave us un told trouble. So far as his debts are concerned, I think he paid them. But the money debt was not the thing that disturbed us. He did not live up to his promise to the church. You cannot rely on what he eays, unless he has changed since leaving here. We would advise you if you want to keep out of trouble and save your church do not call him." W. J. Wells, ! church clerk. Plant City, Florida. "Haying read in the columns of a Salem paper of the unpleasan tries which the "First Baptist church of Salem is passing through at this time, will say that they are no surprise to me. There Is a cor rection In said columns that I wish to make, and that is, 'under the pastorship of a former lecturer of the Klan, these records have been erased from the church in the past month. I do not belong to the Klan, nor never have, and I have never ; lectured for them, nor against them either. His state ment' therefore is absolutely false. The reason that the minutes have been expunged from the records of the First Baptist church of Warren8burg, Missouri, is. that they were so demoralizing, that it became necessary for the advance ment of the church, that such ac tion be taken. Therefore the KV K. K. had nothing to do with eaid action. My observation is that the Klan did not figure in his troubles here at all. He precipitates his own trouble, and blames it on the Klan. I hare never followed a man who wrought such havoc, nor found a ; church that was so de pleted as the First Baptist church ot Warrentburg. Mo. He retired great number of the beet and most Influential members, and ex cluded the entire board of dea Storage j Crating 143 So. Liberty cons, and' created and fostered animosity between the members Cndr the pastorate of Payne, the church lost her prestige in the Ministers' alliance, and the half hea never yet been told."- Pres ent pastor at Warrenaburg. "Enclosed you will find names address and amount of debts one R. L. Payne owes here." The ac companying list, ten In all amounts to more than a thousand dollars. All are In Warrenaburg, "He claimed at one time here to be a member of the K. K. Klan end made speeches for them and helped take In members, and when the Klan began to look him up he got mad and then fought them with all his might. X am not member of the Klan and only just give yon this Information thityon may know what he is." "His statement that the church owes him over IS 00 is untrue. have it from the eharch treasurer that the church overpaid him $20 When Payne resigned the church owed him according to his own statement $850.9 i for which they gare him a note, and Instead of him paying his debte, he traded the note for a new car end drove out of town the same day he traded. Here Is what he did. Ke went to folks he owed and told them the church owed hiasadrnd that he had Instructed the church to pay Cheatham end in turn Cheatham was to pay his .bills out of funds received. What the facts were the church had already set tied with him In full and he had the settlement in his pocket and after he had done as I have eaid the next morning; he traded the note for the car and left town at once. When folks went to Cheat ham for their money he had none nor was there any to be had." W. B. Moore, pastor at large in Johnson and Harmony association. "With no personal feeling against him I regret that I can not recommend him as a pastor of any church." President E. L. Hendricks of Central Missouri Teachers college. "R. L. Payne was a student of mine in the high school depart ment of William-Jewell college. For him personally I have only the kindliest feelings, but knowing his record as a preacher, I would not recommend him to any church as pastor. I do nofthink Payne is the kind of a man to preach. Cer tainly, according to my idea, he does not know the things about Christianity most worth knowing." Ward Edwards, librarian. Cen tral Missouri Teachers college. 1 Bits For Breakfast Fox breeders today The big men in the business will be here attending the state con vention. S .

It is believed that within the next few dayr Governor Smith will Issue a memorondum concern ing today's hearing, explaining In detail his reasons for whatever action he may deeide on. Today's hearing opened at noon with Edgar F. Hazelton and Dana Wallace entering thier pleas for Mrs. Snyder before a crowded chamber. Hazelton told the gover nor that he only recently had dis covered that in her youth Mrs. Snyder suffered from a serious sunstroke and a serious fall. He said psychiatrists had advised him that bectfuse of this she was all the rest of her life subject to al ternating moods of great joy and great depressions. He said that while doctors of the older school had found both Mrs. Snyder and Gray sane, they were psychopathic cases, and should be dealt with as such In stead of as criminals. He asked for a stay ot 30 days in which psych iatrists and psycheanalists might study their impulses and see If they were not so emotionally dis eased as to render them incapable of doing right even though they could distinguish between right and wrong. The principal address for Gray was made by William Millard, who described Gray as "a poor human mannequin in the control of that tragic and abnormal woman, Ruth Snyder." He also asked for a thirty day stay of execution and added that if this were granted commutation of sentence to life imprisonment would be sought. Governor Smith 6poke bltingly to both defense attorneys of "this psycbeals stuff."
