Deer Hunting Proclamation GOVERNOR PATTERSON was at least within his moral - VJI ana patriotic ngnw m usiuug uuauiowu ing the opening of the deer hunting season till the 20th; with Ko m nf mnkincr it effective till rains shall come. - - The same order was issued in 1926 by. our then Governor Pierce; though in that year rain soon came ana put a swp to the protests of some of the hunters who began to cry "un constitutional" and prepare to enjoin the right of the order. In both cases, our chief executives in taking this action were merely making ah attempt to prevent the loss of life - and property; acting within the domain of their duties as oc . cupants of the highest and most responsible official station of the state. . . , ' , In protesting against this action, deer hunters are plac ing themselves in a class with the man or woman who re fused to "Hooverrze" during the world war; scorned the plea of the man who was attempting to conserve food for the men overseas who were fighting and dying for their country, and that. the protestants might enjoy "life, liberty and the;pur suit of happiness" in smug safety at home.

Bad Boy! --' . " A New Penitentiary OREGON needs a new penitentiary ; new and modern build ings on a new site. Hie urgency of this need will grow with every passing day. The present quarters are outdated, in many particulars, including lack of space for the growing population ; including lack oi lacmties, tne mention, oi pan of which would bring a blush to the face of a person of fine sentiments And the present prison is a back number because of the fact that it has become virtually a large and growing manu facturing institution. t The land holdings of the present prison foot up 357 acres. Additional tracts making up a total of 350 acres arc rented for the use of its farming and gardening operations And the new prison ought to have at least 1500 acres of land. It should have water power available if possible, and, there should be streams; though wells would suffice This land will have to be located in Marion county, under a constitutional provision, f There is another reason. The city of Salem has grown - up to and around all the lands of the state allotecVto the pri son. The institution proper is now in the city limits, and all the acreage within its ownership will soon be. The sale oi the present lands would provide a large part of the , cost of a new prison, including the 1500 acre site needed, located a few miles out J r The operation of the prison industries will soon yield .enough profit to fully support the institution, and provide the interest and a sinking fund to provide the cost of a new prison, with shops and adequate machinery and equipment for the industries. This has been the record at Stillwater, Minn., where an entirely new prison was built on a new site, on accountof its industries. The new prison for Oregon might be built in units. The transfer might be gradual, over a term of years. But it will have to come. The legislature at its next session should at least make the beginnings of the transfer; should set the machinery in motion' for providing the new site and the erection of the new buildings. m - i , Opposes Experimental Venture ALFRED P. SLOAN, Jr., president of General Motors, is for the continuation of prohibition, despite its faults; believes the people of the United States would be foolish to turn away from the eminently satisfactory management of the republican party to. a more or less experimental venture with the present leaders of the democrats. Especially would this be fooUsh,,says Mr. Sloan, for the mere purpose of attempting to correct fancied or real griev ances against prohibition. Granting that there are plenty of "'"ifcf owm uiutiiiuu ciuuiceiaeut uai neeu correcting, he argues that it is aimed at an ideal of temnerance which is essentially right, and that the correction of its faults would be best made under an executive who is at least sympathetic wiwi me tuma ox proaiuiuon. In his remarkable statement, he sums it all un thus: am for Mr. Hoover because I believe in him personally, his .. recoro, ms experience, ana wnat ne represents. If Mr. Sloan's associates.

S . Salem T free employment office had last week 111 men and 25 women applying for work, and found jobs for 91 of the men and 19 of the women. "The rest must be rather particular, for there is more .work in these parts now than there are workers; though there wUl likely be a somewhat different story to tell after hop- plcking. Oregon wilt have to build a new penitentiary, to keep up with the growth of the prison industries. , ! A friend says he was in a Salem theater the other evening when the picture of Al Smith was flash ed on the screen. There was loud applause from one man. - Little Mary, who had fallen ill, begged; for a kitten. It was found that an operation was necessary for the child's cure, and that she must go to the hos pital. -Her mother promised thatjf she were very very brave she must go to the hospital. Her moth er promised that if she were very brave she should have the very fin est kitten to be found. As Mary was recovering from the influence of the anesthetic the "nurse heard her muttering: "It's a rotten way to get a kit ten'" r " poc M3erry sir, but we'll hare to operate again.

Adame: "What the worker worries about now is that the dinner pail will be so full that it will spill over and spoil the up holstery in his sedan.' , "DeaT, John, I enclose my ho tel bill," came the announcement from the summer resort. "Dear Mary, I enclose cheek to cover the bill, but : please don't buy any more hotels at this price; they are cheating you, was the answer. Literary Guidepost "KW YORK tt was once said Donn Byrne that "in these i js times of realism, he is .as blade of green, romantic grass in a long, long stretch of sand." :Now that the blade, crashed under an automobile alongside an Irish road,' is dead, the critics may estimate . the stature to which it grew u the .field jt modern let ters. With' the posthumous publi cation of "Destiny Bay," it is ready for the measuring rod. "Destiny Bay" is a volume of shont stories. Or. specifically, six snort stories and three anecdotes of a family oa the north, coast of Ireland, as told by the youngest member of the clan, Kerry Mac Farlane. Pictured in them are Uncle Valentine, a huge, graft but unary oaronet; Aunt Jenepher. a sweet, little blind woman; Cons, la Jenico. and James Carabine, simple and loyal pngilist-valeL There are gypsies, Spaniards aad Chinese, too, to help along the romancing. in a is meioaious manner, Byrne told of their loves aad their tragedies, with here aad - (here some of the comedy in their lives. The scenes were often shifted, but the characters he sketched all came back to Destiny Bay. - Most lancirul. perhaps. Is the story of the drunkard. Uncle Cos- imo, for whom a gypsy shanghied a Chinese girl, and who ran away from - here to become a bishon. lost poignant, probably, is Aunt Jenepher's wooing. . er can hope is that there may sur. vire of bis work a fraction good enough to be drawn upon later to uphold or embellish some ancient truth restate, or some old de light reform." In aonther speech, he said, "the magic, of literature lies in the words, "and not in any man." Cer tainly, whatever there is of magic in Byrne's stories Is in his words. Speaking about fiction, he said: "It is not permitted to any gener. ation to know what, or how much, of its effort will be carried for ward to the honor and grace of our literature. The utmost a writ- forebears." More About Utopia Another Englishman as proli fic in his writing as Kipling and who conceived "A Modern Uto pia" more than 20 years ago, now proposes an "Open Conspir acy" for the unification of the world, politically, socially and economically. By a propaganda of education, H. G. Wells would create a world community, in which religion would be stripped down to Ser vice, population and disease bio logically controlled, and the col lective affairs managed by a world of directorate composed of "the most, interested. Intelligent and devoted people." Militarism mnA have no olaee la this scheme, which jast happens to be nreened at a time when powers are pledging themselves to outlaw war. Obstacles In the way of his plan, such as conservatism ana patriotism, jealousies and prejud ices, are recognised and comment ed upon. Wells himself attempts to analyze the attuuae in ue United States. "The American's habits of mind," he says, "In ipite of his recent realization of the enorm ous power and relative prosperity of the United States . . .are still limit ui-nrotectlve against a imaginary European perlL . But this attitude, he believes, along with other hindrances, can ha nrsrrnmA bv his Dlan for a "world revolution" which is "not so much a socialism as a more comprehensive scheme that has eaten and assimilated whatever was digestible of its socialistic ) Words The Thing - The man who ' wrote, - among more than a half-dozen " books.

DrJ s Dr. Caldwell watched the re sults of constipation for 47 years, aad believed that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet aad exercise, constipation will occur from time to time regardless of how much oae trios to avoid It. OT next importance, then. Is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting as close to nature as pos sible, hence his remedy for consti pation, known- as Dv. Caldwell's Syrup. Pepsin, is a mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the most delicate system and is not fa JiabiV fanning preparation. Syr up Pepsin is pleasant-tasting, and youngsters love it. It does not gripe. ) Thousands of mothers have written ns to that effect. Dr. Caldwell did not approve of frasue physics and, purges. He lid not believe they were good fox human beings to put Into their systems, : In a practice of 47 years he never, saw any reason for their use when a mcdl'ine like Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just as promptly, more cleanly and gently, without griping and harm to the system. rv&:- ; Keep tree from, constipation!

Trances Alda, grand opera star. wants a divorce from Giulio Gatti Casazza, the director. What on earth did she marry a man with a name, like that for, in the first place?

Ah ad says "A good car means much to 'your family." Bull's-eye! And -the family uses it most of the time, too. Ruth Elder blames her husband who wasn't with her, because she fell into the Atlantic.

It's a mighty , building 4 standing ff oun- square in 'sunken gardens and of the same architecture on each of its four street facings. It flies four flags, one in the center of each front, fluttering above tbe peaked jumble fof the roof. This day it flew none. Time Ball Still Drops One of the poles, on the east front facing the White House, still carries the time ball, dropped at noon on electric contact from the Naval Observatory, America's only official correct time factory. Time was when the streets from whic!i the ball was visible became con gested with folks, watch in haml. just before noon daily, all waiting to, check up on and correct the pocket time-pieces.
