Let Us Give Thanks
FiR our morning' grace let us thank "the constitution for
Ralph Hamilton, governor pro tern, who smokes a pipe
and promises to keep the peace.
Well do we need it, we Oregonians who have dozed com
fortably for three years under Governor Patterson, only to
be set on edge the past five months. This governorship bus
iness has gotten us all jumpy; our nerves have most gone
to pieces. Now comes Ralph Hamilton who smokes a pipe and
promises to keep the peace.
The late primary was a spirited affair and its result a
shock such as turns one's hair white over night, though the
Oregoniarj says such things never happen. Then the little
piece of unfinished business between the nominee and the
court gave the state twitches for a week. This was followed
with the tomahawk party of Norblad and the strategy
board. The combination proved most too much for us slow
moving webfooters. We were in need of a sedative; and there
xis no sedative better than a governor who smokes a pipe.
The picture of Ralph Hamilton smoking his pipe will do
more to soothe the frayed nerves of our citizens than any
thing else. Someltow you feel comfortable with a man who
smokes a pipe. He stops and pulli at his pipe; then he stops
and puffs out the smoke. The pause gives one assurance. Cig
arettes are different; they give one the fidgets. Did you
ever notice how nervous the ordinary cigarette smoker is?
A fag, a light, a few puffs; then he reaches for another. How
alow-moving is your pipe-smoker by comparison. Why, fiD
ihg his pipe is a veritable ceremony; and smoking it seems
the aeme of solid comfort.
We wonder if this is the reason why the pipe is chosen
for the ceremonies of peace. No one ever heard of passing the
cigarettes in the ritual of a council; nor a cigar; always it is
the pipe with its long stem and carved bowl.
So we may relax for a few weeks now. No disturbing
ukases will issue from the governor's office. No official heads
will fall into the basket. There will be no political huddles, no
tense air of expectancy. All will be quiet and serene. For
Oregon has as its temporary governor, Ralph, Hamilton, who
& mokes a pipe and promises to keep the peace.
Vacating a Street
THE paper mill is asking for the city" to. vacate a portion of
the end of Trade street where it runs into the mill just
west of Commercial street. If the owners of property and in
dustries affected will consent to the vacation of the par of
the street requested it seems to The Statesman the council
should grant the petition.
The opposition which has been voiced to the proposal is
that the city would be giving the company some valuable
land. Perhaps so, but that is nothing new. Whenever a street
or alley is vacated the land reverts to the abutting property
owners ; the same is true of country roads. So long as the in-
austnes most vi tally concerned witn tne use of this stub
street are agreeable to its vacation for the use of the paper
Ml 1 I ' it ?a a j mm mm
mm, we oeueve tne city can grant tne request, a. vacation CI
street was made a few months ago for the benefit of an in
dustry ; and such practice is not uncommon nor improper.
Salem ought to realize how important this paper ""H is
to the city. It runs night and day; where other mills have
run on part time it has operated with full crew, and is bow
willing to enlarge its operations. To get another industry like
it our people would gladly contribute thousands of dollars.
to hold it here we ought to be considerate, especially so when
such consideration involves no cost to the city. The paper
mill runs here under some handicaps as compared with ac
tual tidewater location. We ouffht tn h Willinc tn nf fpf
of these handicaps by extending support wherever the re
quest is reasonable.
Unless opposition comes from actual users of the por
tion of the street, we think the council is justified in va
cating the area requested, subject of course to agreement

Light Cannon-ade
THE country was braced for An old fashioned fourth of
July celebration when Bishop Cannon, Jr., took the
stand to answer the queries of the senate lobby committee
respecting his activities in the 1928 campaign. But the good
bishop declines to answer on the ground that the committee
exceeds its authority.
: The bishop is correct. The senate lobby committee has
no business to go far afield from the purpose for which it
"was created. These senatorial committees- think they can
function as a universal grand jury. The committee even
proposed to go into the bishop's private stock speculation
transactions. What is the relation between the bishop's
splaying the market and lobbying? The bishop answered all
the queries proposed to him on the subject of lottoying, but
shook his cratch at the committee and defied it when it
sought to go beyond its function, and bolstered his defiance

The country is apt to get the impression that the bishop
is trying to conceal something; and for this reason from bis
own standpoint he is in error to refuse to testify. The bishop
is active in the work . of his church; and ought to be en
tirely willing to publish, to the world, even to a senate inves
tigating committee, the nntrrn snd rtrtf Vf anrMKmm

BITS for BREAKFAST
By R. J. HENDRICKS-
I VV hy CAROLYN WELLS
CHAPTER XLTT
Stone went off to the station
and thence to New York looking
very much elated Indeed.
But the watchers hy Emily's
bedside ware not elated. There
were momenta when they thought
she was really coming bsek to her
rational senses, and then tho next
Instant the wonld be screaming in
hysteria.
Certain things seemd to throw
bar into a panic ef fear.
One was tomato soap. When
the nnrse brought her a small
bowlful for a mid-morning lunch.
she flew into such a spasm of mor
tal terror and anguish that the
frightened attendant ran from the
room with it.
She returned to find Emily
panting with fright and terror.
But given another sort of soup
she ate it with relish and seemed
grateful.
"Yes." Doctor Eaton said, told
of the incident. "She wiU be like
that Until we know what she has
been through, we can give no ex
planation. But doubtless tomato
soup was in some way connected
with her imprisonment Don't
bring U to her again."
By afternoon Emily was more
tranquil and the nurses began to
feel hope of her ultimate recov
ery.
Betty came over but was not al
lowed to see her, as it might
arouse memories for which the
poor disordered mind waa not
ready.
They arranged that Betty might
look tnte the room and catch a
peep of Emily la a mirror.
But when Betty did this snd
Emily by chance east ner eyes to
ward the door, the lackloster gaze
and the blank stare so frightened
Betty that she fell back sobbing
and despaired of Emily's ever get
ting better.
"Oh. Pete!" she said later.
"don't tell Rodney, bst I know
Emily's mind is gone forever! No
body could look like that and ever
get over it. Why. she is mad! She
can never recover.
"Now. new, Betty, don't look
st It that way. Give her time. The
doctors all say It may- bo a long
siege, but they think her youth
and - strength will pull her
through."
"Oh. J hope so, I do hop so,
but I don't want to set her again
while she's like that. And don't
let Rodney see her. It wonld
haunt him all his life."
Stone telephoned up that he
wonld remain in New York over
night. and asked Pete tt he had
any farther details for him.

So care waa taken to introduce

she saw no one bnt the attend

tatory of Emily's antipathy to the
Laurence baby, and nodded his
head.
"Of course," he said, as if to
himself, "ef conrse, tt would be
so."
But an explanation ef this cryp
tic remark he would not give.
"Don't ask questions now," he
begged of Pete, who was agog to
know the detective's conclusions.
"If Emily comes to herself, sll
will be well. If not, that is our
trouble, not the police."
And then the day came when
Emily did come to herself.
Doctor Eaton, arriving one
ma-rain g. saw the light of reason
In her eyes, and, hiding his ela
tion, spoke gently to her.
"How do we feel this morning,
my deaTT"
It was Sunday now. snd Emily
hsd been four nights in the hos
pital, hovering between sanity
and madness.
But each twenty-four hours hsd
shown some slight improvement
sad now the veil had lifted, and,
whether temporary or permanent
reason was again enthroned.
"I want to go home," Emily
said, looking at tho doctor tn a
half daxe.
nux her voice was normal and
her eyes clear and understanding. ,
"Yet, my dear, yon eta go
home whenever yon like."
The doctor was a little at loss
how to treat this new develop
ment, fearing to deny her any-:
thing lest the startled bird of rea
son tak fUb.t. aa saddaaly a It
bad come.
"Now!" Emily asked still seem
tsg rational.
"It yon'U take a nicev long nap

and he gart her a drtaght that
ensured the long nap whatever
was to follow.

She was refreshed and still sen-

and the nurse spoke with glad
truthfulness.
"I sm not quite well yet and I

"Yea, indeed. Now don't talk
any more until you have had some
breakfast"
"AH right." and Emily's eyes
closed and she lay very still until
the tray arrived.
As she sipped her cocoa, sue
seemed to be thinking deeply and
the nurse became anxious.
"Don't think. Miss Duane, don't

S9und nearly as strange as the
campaign for the present postof
flee buUding sounded when it was
started, along in 1895, by the
Bits man. He got the horse laugh
from many' prominent people of
the city, who thought the idea
fas long in advance of its time.
The Bits man made some bitter
enemies in that fight; mostly men
who were Interested for business
reasons in keeping the postofflee
where it was, or near there.
And it will be news io many
now. that the authorities at Wash
ington are looking forward to the
time -when they will be called
upon to junk the postofflee build
ing of the present and construct
one in keeping with the Safem ot
the future. Mr. Latamers, the ar
chitect who had charge of the
erection of the latest additon,
the finishing touches UDOn were
completed only a few weeks ago,
said he expected to see the putting
up of a $50,000 to $1,000,000
postofflee building a live issue
within the next JO years. The first
aaaition, ouiit only a few years
ago, it will be remembered by
most residents, was an archltec
tsral monstrosity, and most Sa-
lemites were surprised to see that
the present one, which took its
place, before It had been Ions un
der way, was to be still mere out 4
or Keeping with symmetry snd
good taste in the eyes of those
who understand such matters. Mr.
Ummerg said the reason was that
it. too, was to be temporary and
that it would ho impossible to
erect an addition for utility that
wouia o in keeping with the ar
chitecture of the original struc
ture; because, when it was put
up, there was no idea In the mind
of the architect who furnished the
plans, that there would ever ho
any call for additions.
The original structure waa hntlt
in 1902, and the force nrored in
the first of April, 1908, from ths

Court and Chemeketa. The new
building, as it was originally
turned over, was well proportion
ed and handsome, and ample for
the business it was designed to
accommodate. But Salem outgrew
it and is outgrowinc the
quarters, including the latest ad-
urnon.
No longer ago than 1884. the
postmaster and two clerks did an
the work of the Salem postofflee.
On July 1, 1887, metropolitan airs
was assumed by beginning a spe
cial delivery system fn Salem, with
two carriers. They were George H.
Hatch and Ben Taylor (the latter
a resident of Salem now, hut on
th retired list as to postofflee
work though in no ether impor
tant respect), and at that ttm
the office force was made up of
three persons, besides General W.
H. dell, the postmaster. They
were Sam Church, assistant post
master, Herbert Wilson, general
clerk, and Clarence Crane. maUing
clerk. Mrs. Crane Is now a prom

One of the emnloyeea of tha

ping from The Statesman of May

performed by tha rural f ru mail
delivery system ot the Salem poet-
onice tor tho first month ot Us

There were eight routes then. Ths
earners wer James A, Reming

Claude A. Johnson, James 8. Al
bert E. W. Cherrington, T. W.
Raymond and F. L. South. There
were eight routes then. The ninth
waa established later. Both Al
bert and Remington are still mem
bers of the force.
The report showed a total of
38,583 pieces of mail matter de
livered, and 5844 pieces of mail
matter collected. There was a re
port made of the same business
for 12 days lately, from March 31
to April 12, and the following
was the showing: 10 8.3 09 pieces
delivered and 11.338 collected.
That was for 12 days this year
against a month In 1901. with
one additional route route 9,
which shews the smallest business
of all. excepting route 2. Route 4
showed for the It days 14.6T
pieces deiirered, against 10,818
for route I. The total mileage for
all the routes has lacreased they
go farther out. on the average'
though they start longer distances
away from the postoffic building,
owing to the increase of city car
riers. The force of employees of the
Salem postofflee fs now 71 0f
whom 27 are city carriers and
nine rural carriers. There has
been s steady growth, and this
wUl be continued indefinitely
There Is now a checking up bo
ing made by the authorities at
Washington. They are asking the
present population ot Salem, an(1
of its suburbs. Of the Tftri All 01 I n
stitutions here, government, state,
etc. And a lot of other questions.
And they are asking the estimated
population of Salem 10 years
hence.
The Bits man, on account of his
position as supervisor of the cen
sus, has been asked to answer the
last question. His answer was that
Salem will have at least 60,000
population in 1910, if there shall
be added, as there should be, all
the immediate suburbs that ought
now to be in the corporate limits,
which would make the present
population around 32,000. That
would make necessary a growth of
only a little more than 50 per cent
and the Increase In th present
city limits waa nearly 54 per cent
In the past 10 years. Onejspecial
ty Unea mill that would have come
before this with an absolute guar
antee of an ample supply ot yarn
of the proper lea. or flnena&a.
would employ 4000 to 5000 peo
ple and that olone erould, direct
ly ana indirect!- add to nor Mn
to Salem and her suburbs. sir
will eventually get a number ot
specialty linen mills. There are
about 10 articles or mmmprM
made from flax fiber, to say noth
ing oi hemp. And Salem may get
many other factories and packing
houses in the next 10 years.
"Hint that has rita." Th.
homely truism aunties la eitiaa aa
well aa -individuals; to states and
nations as well as cities. A Salem
of 50.000 people, and headed for
aouoie than number, will get a
half million dollar postofflee
building; perhaps one costing
twice that sum; built to accom
modate the growing business that
comes with steady growth of pop
ulation. There are possibilities of much
greater growth than that la th
next 10 years, tor this is la truth
the land f diversity, and in good
time Salem will be a city that will
make Its $0,044 tnfls post look
like the period of Rs straggling
vniagehoed.
