a A. Spsagui . Earl C Bbownlee Sheldon F. Sackett Publisher's General William Booth, S. A. THIS is April 10th. ' ) s Just a hundred yearsago today. William Booth was born in Nottingham, England. Just 75 years ago today he gave tip business for preaching. He started out with the "Methodist New Connexion," but fell out with the conference and with his valiant wife, who had been Catherine Mumford, he went out into the world "on his own". They started the East End Mission in London- in the heart of the slums and misery of the city. That was the beginning of what developed into the Salvation Army. Booth's slogan was "Go straight for souls, and for the worst." That was what he spent his life doing. 55ooth never planned an organization on the model of an armv. That develoDed bv accident. The title "Captain" was used first in imitation of the thinking it might appeal to the stuck, and before long there cers with Booth as the General. Booth was a bopi evange list m a time when revivalism was at its height." His tours took him around the globe and sands. The Salvation Army used at. What an odd sight it was odd uniforms marching down the street to the boom, boom of the bass drum ; or gathered at a corner singing primitive hymns or with one officer preaching a primitive gospel! But the Salvation Army withstood the scoffing and the ridicule; and today its program of social amelioration is universally respected. ' It has been a family organization up to this year. Gen eral Booth was the founder and commander-ichief ; suc ceeded after his death in 1912 who lately has been removed and replaced by General Higgms. Evangeline Booth, daugn ter of the old general, is the Wherever there is need, where .'or priests aad levites have passed by on another side, wherever humans grovel in sod den morality, wherever homes are wrecked by poverty, vice or disease, there is the Salvation Army. In prisons, in peni tentiaries, m tenements, among immigrants, men and worn en in the humble uniform of the Army are5 performing their works of aid and comfort. The Army may have lost some of Tts bizarre features, but it still is fired by the zeal of its founder, William Booth, whose bearded, benign countenance looks down from the walls of so many Army barracks. More Textile Strikes STRIKES in the textile mills O ed. A few weeks ago there was a strike in the new rayon mills in Tennessee. Last year the mills at New Bed ford, Mass., were tied up by strike for six months. Three years ago the worsted mills at Passaic, New Jersey, 'had an extremely bitter strike. Times have been bad in the war. The northern mills they were forced to operate tfxes, higher wage scales, restricted hours of employment, inousanas oi spinaies were that more favorable environment Other mills were dis- mantled or turned to other uses. r There is nothing more essential than clothing after looasiuiis.

Cranitoa was born In Lap eer county, Michigan., Dec. 2, 1875. He Is a graduate of the University of Michigan. From 1899 to 1905 he prac ticed law at Lapeer, then published thw T-Apeer Countv Clarion until 192S. He was law clerk of the Michigan state ennte for three sessions. In 1913 he was elected to congress from the sev enth Michigan district and has been re-elected each term since.) THE recent muddle over the Importation of Jlquors em phasizes again that it Is time that the state department, the treasury department, and the de partment of Justice collaborate in a definite program to impress upon the diplomatic representa tives of other nations accredited to the Nnlted States the need ef more respect for the fundamental law of this nation. Importation of liquors by these diplomatic representatives is un lawful. Transportation of such li quors from the point of importa tion to Washington is unlawful. A desire to conform to the de mands of International comity has led us to extend, reasonable cour tesy with reference to the repre sentatives of foreign governments. While In the main this action has been appreciated and most of these diplomatic representatives have shown a proper attitude of respect for our laws, an un appre ciative minority has not. This minority, exceptions to the general rule in the "diplomatic corps, has blatantly and conspicu ously made manifest on repeated occasions their lack of regard for Eats for Breakfast By R. J. HENDRICKS Speaking of the Mioto pass And the certainty that the ulti mate highway through that pass wUl be the only one that it will be economically possible to 'keep open the year through, because it is the lowest and will always be the most free from deep snows Also that it la the shortest pos sible way through the Cascades to Join the Inland empire with the Willamette valley; therefore Is likely to be constructed aoon, and certain to be built before very long Several writers of early. Oregon Country history say the Indians used that pass la the ages before white men came to the country. Under the caption. "Story of the Molallas," S. A. Clarke In his "Pi oneer Days of Oregon History," In two volumes, tells of the tradi tion that at far distant day there arose civil strife among the Cayuses who held a lanre Dart of central Oregon, and that after bit ter fighting a band of seeedera, with their families , and- posses sions, came over the Minto pass, by the ancient trail, after they had been denied a home spot . by the f le'reer Warm, Spring tribes, and the Teninos, claiming . the lands east of the Cascade range. b S So the Molallas settled la the foothills of the Cascades on the western side. They could not have the. Willamette valley, because that was occupied by the Cala- pooia race, which had not long before driven out the, tribes that Were before them, and more re cently had forced the- lfultnomahs further north, along the Colum bia. The Molallas were hunters, and the mountains were full of game, sad the streams abounded la fish. provisions In the constitution of the United States. By their course in this, they have embarrassed alike the people and law enforce ment agencies of the United States and their colleagues In the diplomatic corps In Washington The Importation and transpor tation of such liquor Is unlawful in the United States by diplomats as by everyone else, as the 18th amendment expressly prohibits such importation. So-called diplo matic Immunity, a creature of in ternational courtesy, is of legal effect only as recognized by the statutes of any nation. The act of importation and act of transportation are unlawful. There Is no problem as to what Is the law. The only problem is of enforcement. It is true that those entitled to diplomatic Immunity under our laws cannot be arrested, but that Immunity does not extend to any except the diplomatic representa tive or his domestic servant when such domestic servant has been properly registered in the depart ment of state and posted in the office of the United States mar shal. MANY BOUNTIES PAID Tamhill county has paid boun ties since January 1 on 23 bobcats and lynxes and two coyotes. Dur ing the month of March the clerk paid 10 cents each on 261 gopher heads and 284 moles. The Molallas made a treaty of peace with, the Calapoolas, which was never violated. But they hated the Cayuses, from whom they had seceded, and passed 'the quarrel to their children; though they spoke the same language a fact confirmed by several writers. Fin ally, the Molalla leaders thought they were strong enough to give battle to their Cayuse relatives, and so challenged them, and the Cayuses would not take the dare but came and fought a great and victorious battle, near the very summit of the Minto pass. The re turning victors thought they had taken the conceit out of the Mol allas, for the scalps of about halt their warriors dangled at the belts of their cousins beyond the Cas cades. - vv V But not so. A new generation grew up among the Molallas, har boring the same feelings of re venge, and a second challenge was given and another battle fought at the same place, with a like re sult. For all the rest of the time, before the coming of the white men, the Molallas, refused to use the Minto pass, through supersti tious fear. Ther were unwilling to travel . over the spot where so many of their forefathers had met their fate. , But after the, coming of the Im migrants, the Molallas again used the Minto pass, and-traveled the old trail each year to attend the great annual fair, at where The Dalles Is now, and Joined in that; famous event, with their skins and dried venison and traded and raced and gambled with the best of then. Some times, they lost all they had, even their wives and daughters, and their sons risked la the fierce rivalries; the sons being tskea as slaves by the wln-j nera. ; - - ' ir; Is JLm Civic Center in Salem is Extraordinarily Beautiful With EveryShrub in Place Foresight in Planning: to Capitol Building Set Amongst Sur roundings of Utmost Harmony CIVIC CENTER BEAUTIFUL.
