The showing is a profit of $873.35 for the month of June, after every charge has been provided for, including some bet terments and improvements. It will be greater this month; more still for August, and it will mount month by month. The June showing was on spinning yarn only. Part of the month of July will be on both spinning and bleaching yarns for the eastern weaving mills; with some yarns furnished to the Miles plant, which is over taxed in its spinning depart ment. i The Miles mill has been operating at a profit for several months. . i. n When the spinning operations of the Oregon mills shall have been perfected and speeded up, then there will be weav ing. After a time, there will be more weaving, and of higher and higher grades. The flax and linen industries of Salem are now on a firm basis. They are on the up grade. There will never be any op erations again at a loss. The forces of employees will be gradually increased. In time, there will be thousands of operatives. Specialty mills will come. They will come as soon as they can have yarns of the right lea or fineness in quantity, and be sure of a contin uous supply. The specialty mills and those indirectly employed in the in dustry will have larger numbers of operatives than the orig inal spinning and weaving mills. IMPOSING ON THE PUBLIC Editor Statesman: Some of the supporters of Alfred E. Smith seem to take satisfaction in coining these words, "He made a good gov ernor" (assuming no doubt that upon this basis he would make a good president.) This remains to be seen. In 1865 some of the oldest inhabitants will remember a cer tain Andrew Johnson became president of the United States through the death of Abraham Lincoln. He was elected as running mate with the latter "because he made such a good governor for Tennessee." Therefore as vice president and by virtue of his official position the presidential honor was con ferred upon him. At this time, with President Johnson's career will tell you this prediction was not fulfilled. The accusations against him as being in sympathy with the Southern Confederal worked a severe handicap for him. His ascendency as president was followed by impeachment proceedings so in the course of time An drew Johnson lost all influence him and went to his grave "unwept and unsung." We all know there is enough will be to the end of the chapter, but Mj. Smith and his help ers don't have to tell us what tlie Republican party has done in the past any more than we have to tell him what charges can be brought against the Democratic party. He no doubt will make the attempt to get his innings on the strength of the weakness of the opposing forces. Laying all other differences aside, wre cannot avoid the con clusion from a rational standpoint that the Democratic nom inee is imposing on the public for it appears to the write; should the Democrats win in November, its president could not, consistently, pledge to defend the Constitution of the United States, because the 18th amendment would constitute a bar to his full fledged acceptance. We have enough faith in Herbert Hoover to believe he will in a large measure act independently for it is understood even President Coolidge has been subject to his advice in those affairs which have given him so much prominence over other nominees in the Republican party. Parents of any political party of the return of. the saloon, with all of its dreadful conse quences, will not vote for Mr. Smith. J. A. H. Pine Grove, Hood River County, July 8, 1928. A GOOD APPOINTMENT The prospective appointment of the state budget is a good one. The appointment is to be at the hands of Governor Patterson at an early date in Septem ber, when Mr. Kozer has indicated that he will resign the office of secretary of state, in order to be free to accept it At a date sufficiently early to begin work on the budget in order to have it ready for ginning in January. Sam A. Kozer, through long service and hard work, to say nothing of native ability, has become the best qualified man in Oregon for the duties of director of the state budget. The writer, with many others, will be pleased to know that his fitness for the duties of the office will not be diverted to some other field. The state of Oregon needs his services.

Poliai. paator of Marble Colleflate Church of New York City, president of Interna tional Society of Ohrlstlan En dearor. and editor-in-chief of the Christian Herald, Is on a brief Tislt to his parents. Dr. and Mr. C. C. Poling of this city, and oth er Oregon relatlres, and today will attend the reunion of the Alumni association of Lafayette Seminary and Dallas bcollege, at Dallas, of which he was an alum nua of 1904. before attending ed ucational Institutions elsewhere After attending and addressing eight state Christian Endeator contentions on hla transcontinen tal tour, on Friday erenlng he ad dressed tha Northwest conrentlon of the organisation at Portland, his subject being. "Crusade with Christ for ETangeliam, for good citizenship, and for world peace Optimistic confidence In the better element of youth of the present generation was one of the high points of his address. "I find young people as essen tially fine today jas erer." he said; and blames the older generation for much of the wrong-doing of the younger one. "They are not tbelr own parents, and teachers, and preachers." he said; "they don't write the books they read. compose the eongs they sing, nor paint the pictures they look up on. Many or us wouia ao wen to remember that we should go more seriously about the business of watching our own step, and set them a proper example . While many young people are do ing very sad things, they do not represent the whole, thank God. It Is unfair to bring an In dictment to the youth of America Just because some are given! to grave excesses. ' Throughout his work and trav els, he finds Christian Endeavor increasingly strong, both numer ically and in its activities, he stated. "Many things contribute to the unusual demonstration of strength in the movement this year." he said, "until, 'like a mighty army moves the church of God," Is more than a poet's fancy or a mere marching eong." Dr. Poling particularly stress ed the importance of patriotic cit izenship, and its connection with the present national political cam paign, "the moral and patriotic considerations of which." he aver red, "lift it out of mere party pol itics. It is not enough to write the ISth Amendment into the fundamental law of the land,' he said, "but it is now for us to say whether It is possible foe s free people not only to perfect a mandate but to carry it through or whether free government must fall of its own weight." In no un certain tone he scored the defiant attitude and dual position of Al fred E. Smith regarding the fed eral constitution and our most sa cred institutions, and the coop eration of other law-breakers tc undermine them, as demonstrat ed by Governor Smith's personal practices and political acts, in cluding the signing of the Mullin Gage repealer in New York, which (to his deliberate knowledge) made thrice difficult the observ ance and enforcement of the 18th Amendment. "It is Alfred E Smith against the fundamental law of the United States a hap py sachem against the democracy of Jackson and Calhoun." Dr. Pol ing declared. He also mentioned the "soft- pedal" letter he had received from Nellie Tayloe Ross, (ex- governor of Wyoming, and now a campaigner for Smith) in which she assured him he was very much mistaken concerning Atf; Smith's attitude toward the 18th Amendment; to which Dr. Poling replied: "Do we gather thorns of roses, or figs of thistles? Do the 'wets' of the United States think it wonld make any difference how they cast their ballot? And would they vore for those oppos ed to their policies?" And why should we. for a moment, he put to his audience, have confidence in their role as 18th-Amendment-supporters while standing in a tropical deluge and singing "It ain't goln' to rain no more." "The constitution of the United States says one thing about pro hibition. The democratic party says one thing with regard to Its enforcement; but Alfred E. Smith, candidate for the presidency of the United States. Is his own plat form, and the plan of the 'crown prince of Tammany regarding the 13th Amendment is. state defini tion; state Interpretation and state determination. Abraham Lincoln once said. This nation cannot exist half slave and half free.' And I aay. this nation can not continue to exist with 48 def initions 48 Interpretations 48 determinations. Yet that ia en tirely consistent with the history of Tammany Hall entirely con sistent with the public record of Alfred E. Smith. And when that policy becomes a principle with us, the government thai George Washington was called the father of. and that Abraham Lincoln was called the savlou of. will perish such as the framing- of a proper automobile license law, which ought to be in the province of that body And it no doubt will be, through the overwhelming defeat of the initiative measure .oa-the November ballot. Congratulations are due to the people of the state, as well as to Mr. Kozer himself. from the earth. It would mean political bedlam, and the begin ning of national dissolution; and the man who presents It, what ever his party may be, Is Im measurably too small and too deeply dangerous to be president of the United States." In clostng. Dr. Poling, who at tended both recent national po litical conventions, reminded the delegates of the pledge of 17,000 Endeavorers at the International convention last year, that no po litical party or political candidate not committed unequivocally to prohibition and Its strict enforce ment, would hare their rotes or their support. Dr. Poling leaves tomorrow for Los Angeles to attend the World 8unday school convention, at which he Is one of the principal speakers. His latest novel, "The Here tics" (Doubleday-Doran) will be on the market In October. He Is also collecting material for anoth er Oregon book. His "Furnace has been reprinted la two English and one Swedish edition, and his "John of Oregon," has a wide popularity and appeal. It has a local setting, and embodies many of his own experiences of college days and service during the world war. It Is dedicated to his moth er. OREGON LINEN MILLS PAYING BUSINESS NOW (CoatiaooJ from pgm 1.) tlfy the total Investment; that the stockholders, under the proper management of their plant, may with confidence expect their prop perty to earn sufficient to pay dividends on their holdings from the operation of this branch of their plant only; that Is, without any weaving. Col. Bartram puts It this way: "The plant Is so far running on low. It will be speed ed up. It will be running on high before very long." It is selling Us yarn on quality; quality of the fiber produced here, and quality of yarn turned out by the spinning machinery. The bleach problem has been solved. This Is a thing that both ered the men in charge. The bleaching operations have been running under a real system since Monday. They are giving the yarns a beautiful bleach. This will Increase the profits of the spinning operations in ft propor tion that will show astonishing re sults. There Is a market for all the yarn; for all the bleached yarn. Increasing Payrolls There are 82 employees now on the payrolls. In a short time, the number will be Increased to 120. The average efficiency will be on n ascending Bcale. Then there will be weaving. And more weaving. More kinds of weaving. But things are not be ing hurried to the sacrifice of an ordered growth on a sure footing. The child must crawl before it can walk. It must walk before it can run. The time for sprinting is in i he future; but It is coming The competition, even in the furnishing of yarns to the eastern weaving mills, is fierce. Fortu nately our local mill can offer high quality. That is important, it can build on this. Then must come efficiency of operations which means low cost; then quan tity production, which will mean still lower cost. Instead of feet of yarns, there will be miles of yarns Than thora will rnma low rnut weaving of the "bread and butter lines." that can be easily sold. And this will be followed by the high est classes of the weaver's handi work, competing with the best products of the looms of the world. Fortunately the higher the class, the higher the protective duty provided by our present tarifr. The news contained in this art! cle will be heartening to every one of the several hundred stockhold ers of this company in Salem, and to every resident of thla city Now, both of Salem's linen mills are on a paying basis. The Miles mill has been paying profits for a number of months, and Its mar kets are beyond the capacity of the machinery. The Oregon Linen Mills. Inc.. plant Is supply ing some of the yarns to the Miles plant, the spinning machinery of the latter plant being over taxed. Flax Harvest Soon Already, some small patches of flax, very early sown, have been harvested; by hand pulling. Flax harvest will be on In this district In about two weeks. The nulling machines are now being "spotted." That is. they are being hauled out to the flax districts, to be ready to pull the crop. These Include the 10 new machines that have been manufactured at the state flax plant. As has been said before, they are about 100 per cent better machines than the old ones, manufactured in Canada. There will be around 80 machines In all In the flax fields. Each ma chine will do the work that could be done by 40 to SO men and women pulling In the old way, by hand.

ITALfA DEATHS NOW TOTAL 1 9; HOPE MENS Nearly Score of Men Lost Although Original Crew But Fifteen N0BILE ONLY ONE SAVED Lieutenant Lundborg Surveys Sit uation upon Itetorn from Ice Floe; Tragedy Held Great est In History (Copyrighted by the A. P.) KINGS BAY, Spitsbergen. July 10. (AP) The greatest tragedy In the history of modern polar ex ploratlon was summed up here to day by Lieutenant Einar-Paal Lundborg.who spent twelve days on the lea with the five surviving refugees of the dirigible Italia. Fifteen men accompanied Gen eral TJmberto Nobile In the big air ship but the probable death list now totals It. Nine rescuers have been lost. One member of the Italia crew was killed when the big ship crashed on the ice. Six others were car ried away with the balloon-part or the craft. Three Btarted to walk to land. Five Remain on Floe Only the leader of the expedV tlon has been brought out. The fate of the five other survivors, all sick and one with a broken leg, depends upon the ability of the ice breakers to reach their camp on a floe off Cape Leigh Smith. Two aviators, the Russian, Ba- bushkln, and Lieut. Lundborg, went through extreme peril in their rescue efforts. Babushkln was adrift five days In the polar seas, then managed to make his way back to the ice breaker Ma ligin. Lundborg was rescued by another Swedish flier, Lieut. Shy berg, who had helped bring out Nobile. Fog Great Handicap "The whole tragedy now seems the greatest in the history of mod ern arctic exploration," said Lieut. Lundborg. "Every day is now more or less foggy and planes are handicapped In their rescue work. 'It is now forty one days since Dr. Malmgren and his two mates set out on their fatal walk toward the land that seemed so near to them. They were Doorlv eaulDDed in every way and must certainly have perished. "The Italians in the airship who drifted away after the gondola was torn loose, must also be considered lost. There were six men in that ?roup. "The dog team expedition of Captain Zora, with the Norwegi ans, v arming and Vandongen, in ill probability perished. "There is very little hope of nnaing alive Roald Amundsen, and the five men who were with him in the French plane piloted by Rene Gullbaud. Vessel Chief Hope "The five survivors of the ItaliaJr.J3 t0 a8SUme his unaer L.ieut. Vlglieri now have been camping on the iec forty five days and. the chief hope for their rescue is the ice breaker Krassin." Reports from the Krassin today aid that she was 50 kilometers (about 31 miles) from the camp. The sealer Hobby, with Captain Kiiser-Larsen and Lieutenants LAietsow-Holm and Lambrechts aboard, are seeking the Amundsen party in the stretches between Amsterdam island and the Green land ice. The Hobby carries two hydroplanes, and it intends to work toward the southwest until it meets the vessel Heimland. chartered by the French govern- ment to look for the missing res cuers. The general opinion here is that there la very little hope of finding Amundsen and his companions. kumk, July io. (AP) An- otner day has passed without word irom me rive survivors of the Italia encamped on the ice near Lape Leigh Smith. The conditions wnich have prevented communica tion by short wave radjo for sev eral days persisted. The ice breaker Braganza which is trying to reach the refugees by a different than route than that of .the Russian ice breaker, Kras- ain. reported to the ship Citta dl M llano tonight that sne vao near ing Beverly sound. That Is the point where all the land searching parties return artar they have fin ished their treks into Northeast land. The regular nightly report from the Cltta di Mllano said that the Braganxa had been urged to aet close to Cape Leigh Smith as soon as possible. T Story of Toy Dolls' Mortal Existence Finale to Junkr Chautauqua The Dolls' Toy Shop, the pag esnt planned by the members of the Junior chautauq.ua as the fin ale to their work, was ctvetf at Tuesday afternoon's performance at tne big tent.

T CASE HILTS DELAY CAUSED BY LACK OF LIBRARY AT COURTHOUSE Judicial machinery of Marlon county came to a standstill yester day afternoon while the judge and opposing attorneys withdrew to the state library and to private li braries to secure legal authority that became necemary during trial of the case of Frank Osborne vs. Dr. C. A. Eldriedge. Osborne was suing Dr. El driedge for alleged wrongful con version of a quantity of wood. Counsel for the defendant sought to question the sufficiency of the plaintiff s complaint by objection to the evidence. After some argu ment this objection was overruled by Judge Kelly with little or no authority on many of the points raised. Shortly afterward the defense Interposed another objection which raised the question of whether a certain agreement be tween the two parties to the action was a contract or merely in the nature of a license. Since it was held that one would be assignable and the other would not, the point became so vital to the case that it was found necessary to dismiss court while attorneys and judge scattered to various parts of town to secure legal authority. The case is expected to be con eluded today. Yesterday forenoon B. S. Martin took a voluntary non-suit in his action against C. Milligan. He was suing for $278 for alleged damages to a saw mill, and other damages. KOZER ACCEPTS BUDGET OFFICE PROFFERED HIM (Con tinned from pe 1.) regent of the institutions of high er learning and member o fmany other boards and commissions, Mr. Kozer has gained an experience that will prove valuable in budget work." Governor Patterson said he had considerable work on 'the forth coming budget completed, which will be turned over to Mr. Kozer new duties. The state budget officer wae created under an act of the last legislature at the request of Gov ernor Patterson. An appropri ation of $25,000 was authorixed to cover the expense of the depart ment during the current biennium. The office has remained vacant up until this time. Secretary of State Kozer entered the employ of the state as auditor clerk in the state department un der the late F. I. Dunbar January 1. 1S99. He served in this capac ity until January 1, 1907, when he was promoted to chief clerk In the state department by the late Frank Benson. On March 1, 19 09. when Sec retary of State Benson was ele vated to -the office of governor fol lowing the election of Governor Chamberlain as United States sen ator, Mr. Kozer was appointed state insurance commissioner. On September 15. 1911. Mr. Ko zer resigned as state insurance commissioner to accept the office of deputy secretary of state under Ben W. Olcott. who was appointed head o'. the state department to fill the vacancy caused by the re tirement of Secretary of State Benson. Mr. Kozer served as deputy sec retary of state until May 28, 1920. when he was appointed secretary of state by Governor Olcott. He previously had been nominated for the offlec at the republican prima ry election. Mr. Kozer was elect ed secretary of state in 1920 and reelected in 1924.

July 10 (AP) President Coolidge in tends to accept the resignation of Secretary Herbert Hoover from the cabinet, leaving the latter free to engage in his electoral campaign for the presidency un hampered by the duties which the commerce department would Im pose on him. The exact date when the resig nation will be made effective was said at the White House not to have been decided upon. It Is un derstood, however, that this will depend chiefly upon the selection of a suitable successor to Mr. Hoover. The chief executive and the re publican nominee will discuss the matter next Monday when the latter will visit the summer White House. Mr. Coolidge, however, has already made up his mind not to ask Mr. Hoover to remain in the cabinet during the campaign, and it was said that President Colldge In arranging for the withdrawal of the commerce secretary, would hardly take Into account the polit ical situation and the prominent part played therein by Secretary Hoover. Before Mr. Coolidge came to this decision reports had reached Superior from Washing ton that Secretary Hoover was very anxious that the administra tion should be in no way embar rassed by his campaign activities. He was represented as ready, how ever, to continue In his present capacity If Mr. Coolidge desired to retain him in the cabinet. No date has been set for accep tance of Secretary Work's resig nation. Numerous names have been highly recommended to Mr. Coolidge for both forthcoming vacancies in the cabinet, and al though the chief executive has as yet reached no definite, choices, he is rapidly thinning down the possible candidates for the posts. President Coolidge has practic ally decided to attend the cere monies at Cannon Falls, Minn. July 29. on the occasion of the unveiling of a monument of Col onel William Colvllle, of the First Minnesota Volunteer Infantry, who fought with great distinction at the battle of Gettysburg. The first public ceremony ol my magnitude . at which Mr. oolidge will appear in Superior vill probably be the opening of .he head of the lakes baseball tournament, July 26.
