SUDDEN MOVE
Attorneys Disappointed Delay Did
Not Continue Until Bar
Meeting
The long anticipated salvation of
Marion county took place yester
day.
The county court, completely re
tracting former announcements
and agreements, executed a com
plete about face and took action to
abolish the Marion county law li
brary.
Salem residents, including attor
neys, expressed disappointment at
the court's action, particularly in
view of the fact that It was an
nounced a few days ago that no
final action would be taken until
after the next meeting of the Mar
ion County Bar association, which
is scheduled for Saturday night of
this week.
"There Is a small faction in Sa
lem that has been very petulant
about this whole affair, and has
carried on a blatant campaign
against it," said one local attor
ney yesterday. "Among other
things they represented that a
good many lawyers were opposed
to the library. Saturday night
there would have Been a show
down on this point at least."
A total of $41.35 has been col
lected for the purpose of buying
books with which to settle points
of law that come up during trials
in circuit court. The average
amount per litigant has been be
tween 75 and 76 cents. This will
be returned to the sources from
which it was originally received.
A brief outline of the history of
the library is as follows:
February 8 Marion county
court takes action with view to
purchase of several sets of law
books, which circuit court judges
and Marion county Bar association
declare are needed for correct lit

that it is for the mere convenience
of attorneys who could just as well
or better go elsewhere.

ENGINEERING NOT
ROMANTIC AT ALL
SO SAYS HERBERT HOOVER IN"
XEW YORK SPEECH
Trip Absolutely Devoid of Politi
cal M olives, Ho Declares
Upon Arrival
NEW YORK, Feb. 21. (AP)
The romance and adventure of en
gineering exists chiefly in the
imaginations of laymen. Secretary
of Commerce Herbert Hoover said
tonight at the annual banquet oi
-he American Institute of Mining
ind Metalurgical Engineers.
Mr! Hoover was presented with
the Saunders gold medal for hit
accomplishments as a mining en
sineer. Earlier he inaugurated c
nation-wide inquiry into industrial
employment conditions at the first
meeting of the new economic sur
vey, and attended the quarterly
meeting of the American Child
Health association of which he is
president.
On arriving in New York Mr
Hoover announced that his visit
had nothing to do with politics.
"Living on the edges of civil
ization," he said to the engineers
"is a much more drab affair than
the current novels on frontier life'
would lead one to surmise. Yet
there endures to the layman some
thing of romance and adventure
n the engineering profession.
Kipling. Richard Harding Davis,
ind others have given high color
to the romance of our profession
"My own experience of the ro
mance of it haa made me wary7 at
imeg of the romance parts. When
hear of it I have a desire also tc
know how long ago it took place.
I have, learned that the romance
factor Increases with time.
."My experience with the adven
ure parts of the engineering pro
fession is even more dubious
anything of this sort from bad
men to armies, wars, shipwreck'
r floods which come across the
engineer's orbit, are disturbers oi
progress. They interrupt the job
hey all require repairs afterwards?
vnd no engineer gets satisfaction
from repair jobs."
Mr. Hoover made it plain, how
ever, that he thought no less of
the profession. Just because it
didn't seem to be painted In a;
bright colors when viewed from
'he inside as it did from without
"After all it is an occupation of
enormous diversity of Interest.''
he said, "of change of scene, ol
vivid and human relations. There
ts but little of repetition. It is e
constant call for all that lies in a
man."
