Matthew 21:14-16- CARNATION DAY TOMORROW "For your letter telling me War Mothers in connection with the sale of carnations for Mothers day, I am under obligations. I think the idea an ex cellent one, particularly in view of its purpose to assist the needy ex-service men. You have my sincere hopes for tne iuu est measure of success for the enterprise." Calvin Coolidge, s So wrote the president of the idea of Carnation day of the nd in Salem tomorrow, towns of the United States, carnations will be on sale by vol untary workers, who will turn the money over to banks, to be used by local and state and national chapters of the Ameri can Wai- Mothers, and by all the other regularly constituted organizations of the country devoted to assisting the needy ex-service men and women and their families Every cent going to such purposes. There are no paid work ers It is all a work of love and service for the men and wo men who served their country in the World War. . Jefferson City, Missouri, about half the size of Salem, sent an order for 30,000 carnations to be sold tomorrow! There will be great sums gathered throughout the country "Great oaks from littIe"acorns grow." It was an idea. It was tried. It brought results. It brings greater amounts each succeeding year. It reaches all the 110,000,000 people of the United States, giving every one an opportunity to give and thus to help, according to his or her ability, and according to his or her sympathy for the needs of those who respond ed to duty's call, and for many thousands of whom the war is not yet over. rf"--' .

Would it not be great, too, if the Champoeg highway con necting Portland and Salem could be finished by that time? The securing of what amount to an option from the state of Oregon for 160 acres of land at $150 an acre, for the. propos ed airport site, will put that proposition forward very mater ially, because the proposed south of the state highway department shops and adjoining the eastern city limits. It is convenient to the eastern ex tension of State street; is far enough from the main part of the city, and yet near enough to raise no objections froih any section of Salem. The securing of this option, at a very rea sonable price, will go far towards causing a favorable vote at next Friday's election. The airport will finally pay for it self. The fees will pay the interest and retire the bonds. So far as the writer knows, James W. Mott is conducting a clean campaign for the nomination on the Republican ticket for congressman from the First district. Mr. Mott is an able man. He is a Salem boy. Were it not that he is running against W. C. Hawley, whose defeat would be a state as well as a national calamity, the writer would be pleased to support and vote for Mr. Mott. The kind of a campaign Mr. Mott is conducting will leave him in good favor with the people of Oregon. He will make scarcely a dent in the usual sweeping majority for Mr. Hawley. But his defeat will be no disgrace. Some of the biggest men America has produced scored as nuiny defeats as victories, and came up smiling af ter each one. Mr. Mott is a young man and has a future.

May 10. AP) Colonel Robert W. Stewart does not care to inform the public, for the time being at least, as to whether he will comply with John D. RockefeUer's request that he resign as chairman of the board of directors of the Standard Oil company of Indiana. Arriving here today he left his New York train in the south of the city, and sought seclusion of his of fice where tor several hours he re fused to say, anything for publica tion or even see the newspaper men. ' Although he missed the greater number of reporters by getting off at Englewood, instead of going on downtown, he did not escape all. "Have yon a statement to make?" he was asked. "Nothing to say," snapplty. "I don't want to say a thing," and his six foot plus swung briskly along the platform. "Will you call a board of direc tor's meeting?" "Can't you understand, I dont want to say anything?" The formal statement, finally put out by the oil executive whose resignation was sought by Rocke feller following his testimony be fore the senate investigating com mittee at Washington, said "any communication from any stock holder of the company is entitled to, and shall receive from me, the most careful consideration. "The proceedings now pending at Washington make it untimely for me to make any statement to the public at this time, much as I might desire to." The district attorney at Wash ington today presented to the grand jury a transcript of Colonel Stewart's testimony before the senate committee and it was be lieved this was the proceeding to which he referred. Mr. Rockefeller, in a published statement, said he was asking for Colonel Stewart's resignation be cause he had "lost confidence in" his leadership. In a letter to the chairman April 27 Mr. Rockefel ler called on him to "make good the promise you voluntarily gave me some weeks ago that you would resign at my request." Colonel Stewart jn his last ap pearance before the senate com mittee, revealed he had received 8759,000 In Liberty bonds or a fourth share in the profits of the Continental Trading company.
