As far as central Oregon is concerned, this community
recognizes that an attempt has been made to leave an ob
jectionable bit of legislation on its doorstep, and central Ore
gon is not in the least bit enthusiastic over the unsolicited at
tention.
And if any are especially resentful it is the sportsmen
themselves.
A study made on relation of crime to prohibition by Miss
Nettie Spencer in the course of work for a master s degree in
economics and rural sociology at the Oregon Agricultural col

THE WORLD'S GREATEST CITIZEN
"Destroyed by German fury ; restored by American gener
osity." The equivalent of those words had been prepared as an
,Wrintinn on the balustrade of the library of the University
of Louvain, Belgium, which was wantonly destroyed by the
German forces in the World war and has been restored wun
American gifts.
There were protests. A fierce controversy raged for a
j?ar
And a message from Herbert Hoover, the world's greatest
citizen, sofved the trouble; and decided it in the right way,
of course. The offensive words, that would have done much
harm and no good, were not used at the time of the dedica
tion, July 4. They will not be used.
Mr. Hoover's message was calm, like the man. and to the
point. It informed the authorities of Louvain University that
they had the right of decision. It is their institution. The
Hoover message concluded with these words:
"The purpose of this great effort has been to make a gift
which would be acceptable to the university and a lasting
monument to American friendship. Representing the donors
of a large share of the funds employed in building the library,
I suggest you obtain immediate settlement of the present
controversy on lines eliminating war bitterness, reflecting the
true spirit of the great educational institution and being in
accord with mature public opinion."
from 2.06 per 1000 -population in 1903 to .54 in 1927. Total
crime dropped from 15.45 for the last year of saloons to
4.02 per 1000 population last year.
The Statesman commends to every reader the news article
in this morning's paper concerning the value to all of our
people of the research work of our canners in finding new
methods for securing marketing outlets for our fruits ami
vegetables' Great credit should be accorded to them. Read the
whole article, which is informative and at the same time in
teresting.
The people of Aurora deserve high commendation for their
contribution towards securing more industries. They have a
successful and flourishing pickle factory, which already
means much, and will likely mean much more to this whole
district in coining into dollars our sunshine and soil and show
ers. Dollars that come and will come largely from far places

PRINTED WITH THANKS
Editor Statesman :
I have read your editorial columns for 37 years to be
exact, 37 years on the Fourth of July and have admired
your aggressive campaigns for a better Salem, a better Wil
lamette valley and. a better Oregon. At times it has been a
fight for, and at other times it has been a fight against. Much
of the time you have scrapped it out very much alone. This
in my estimation, puts you into the same class with Bryan
and LaFollette men who had to die to be appreciated.
That you might better be appreciated today, I would sug
gest that mention be made, in your 25 years ago column, of
the things you were scrapping for 25 years ago.
Your present stand for a sane and civilized celebration of
the Fourth of July is a most commendable one, and with so
many people perfectly in harmony with your views you should
not have to scrap alone.
If any change is made in this "heathen" manner of ex
pressing feeling oi; the Fourth of July, time must be taken
by the forelock, as orders are hard to cancel.
Your progressive editorial policy will record your name in
history as a builder. We need more builders.

The chautauqua is the university of the common people. It
is carried to them, in the cities and the small towns through
out the country. It is a typical American institution. The
movement was started in this country. It has meant much in
Imparting information to the great masses. The movement
deserves to live and to be more largely supported and im
proved, from year to year. The present Salem chautauqua is
worthy and well directed and largely representative of what
a chautauqua should be.

A STUDY IN CONTRASTS
LOS ANGELES. July. 7. (AP)
Mimeographed copies of a tele
gram sent by Mrs. Minnie Ken
nedy to her daughter, Aimee Sem-
ple McPheraon, in . which Mrs.
Kennedy accused the pastor of An
gelas Temple here of "scheming"
to mortgage church properties for
personal gain, were received by
members of the temple congrega
tion today.
Mrs. Kennedy, who has been at
Kelso, Wash., in the telegram of
several hundred words, indicated
that she might return to Los Angeles.
"Conditions have come to such
a pass, Mrs. Kennedy s message
read, "that I am coming to the
conclusion that the proper steps
for me to take will be to return
and with evidence and information
now in my possession and endea
vor to completely clean and clear
up the whole matter, past and
present."
In another part of the telegram,
which Mrs. McPherson says she
;did not receive but which she ad
mitted was in the hands of mem
bers of her congregation in the
form of mimeographed copies,
"Mrs. Kennedy discussed her
daughter's denial that she told her
mother about arranging to mort
gage Angelus Temple.
Mrs. Kennedy expressed herself
as surprised at Mrs. McPherson's
reported denial that "you told rae
about arranging to mortgage the
temple for a quarter million dol
lars for yourself personally, and
your attempts to sidestep the truth
by stating that the mortgage
would be for dormitories and
school only."
The mother further stated In
the copies of the telegram, after
praying that her daughter "would
shake off the parasites, douMe
crossers and blackmailers who
have dragged you down 1 npubnc
esteem and confidence." that "I
fear your present headlong course

BO ROASTING
MERCURY CLIMBS TO NEW
HEIGHTS YESTERDAY
CHICAGO. July 7. (AP).
Hot weather records for Chicago
and other middlewestern points
for 1928 were smashed today
when the mercury climbed to 92
here and over the 90 mark else
where, climaxing a two week per
iod of rains, humidity and erratic
temperatures.
The soaring thermometer was
accompanied by two more deaths
here, bringing the total to ten for
the week.
Thermometers In Nebraska set
the pace tor the country yester
day with readings above the 100
degree mark. Lincoln repotting
101 and Texamah 103, and to
day the neighboring states to the
east had taken the cue.
Two persons died from the heat
In Kansas City today. M. W. Pyle,
64, was overcome white mowing
his lawn and fell dead, and Mrs.
Mary Hamilton, 40, died In a hos

i
Very truly and aptly, says the able and conscientious
editor of the Portland Telegram : 'In no previous campaign
have the candidates for the presidency presented such start
ling contrasts as are now discovered between Herbert Hoov
er and Al Smith. Herbert Hoover has long been not only a
national but an international figure. Al Smith has but lately
stepped off the sidewalks of New York and all his fame has
been manufactured by the ballyhoo of the Bowery. Herbert
Hoover has been, all his life, a builder, an executive, exper-l
ienced in handling great enterprises and directing many men
to their accomplishment Al Smith has functioned only as a
routine official of a single city and a single state. Herbert
Hoover has probably, reliered more of human suffering, hun-
ger and anxiety than any one man that ever lived. Al Smith
has confined his phllanthronic efforts to Coney island picnics
and other similar entertainments, the traditional tools of
New York politicians.
Herbert Hoover represents intelligence trained to the
highest performance. Al Smith represents emotionalism tar
ried to the greatest extravagance.
fln such a choice, the result becomes not so much a judg-
that the people of the United States can be so bewildered by j downfall and possible loss of tem-.ot H M. Blackmer," missing Tea-

One of the irritating things about the measures proposed
to close the Deschutes, McKenzie, Umpqua, and Rogue rivers

Italian Premier Inaugurates
Summer Fashion for So

ROME. July 7. (AP). Pre

Rome'3 hot season today, setting
the summer fashion for all male
Italians.
In England, from time Imme
morial, the Prince of Wales has
given style and tone to his future
subjects regardless of whether his
choice of garments fits the av
erage Briton's architecture or not.
Italy's heir to the throne how
ever, has always been too busy
with his duties as an army offi
cer to appear often without uni

is how:
A leghorn straw hat shaped
something like a panama; pale
gray silk tie, with a glowfng ruby
colored stripe socks matching the
gray and ruby: a pale gray silk
shirt with soft collar and no vest,
a single-breasted, fairly dark blue
coat with a thin black braid: a
linen handkerchief with multi
colored stripes peeping over the
edge of his left breast pocket;
trousers of an Ice cream hue with
cuffs upturned. White shoes with
tan leather trimmings.
Premier Mussolini also flies in;
the face of custom by discarding
suspenders and wearing a belt.
Thus attired, his 45 years seem
to fall from his shoulders, and his
appearance is that of one of the'
