Evidently they banked too ; much on the south, or the south banked too much on tnem, : because Caldwell and company have failed and dragged with them a score of banks, some of them leading financial in stitutions. : 1 The rise of Caldwell and company' was one of the sky .: rocket varietv in the late afire of house-that-Jack-built fi - nancing; They extended their interest into multiple lines of ' activity: chain banks, insurance companies, newspapers, as well as real estate mortgages and government bonds. Cald- ? well and company was the I representng. over six hundred millions of resources, wnen ji thel drouth hlthe south, apd paic jjjt; the prices of securi- II tieiJlheente'rfof'gravity Wl Uijilathe base of support with the same result as in physics: the structure toppled with a resounding crash. The south is now busy digging out from under the . ruins. The Bancokentucky, a chain fostered by Caldwell and company, had its key bank, the National Bank of Ken . tucky, the largest in that state, go under, as well as smaller : banking institutions that were af filiated. The Bank of Tennessee at Nashville, another Caldwell bank, failed. The result, is a financial paralysis all over the southland. The failure of Caldwell and company ; is not due to fraud, nor to unprincipled promotion like the Foshay fail- ure of a year ago; but rather to a lack of conservatism in : the development of its business. The business slump caught i the concern unduly extended with" obligations it could not l meet, and its failure dragged the whole structure to ruins. The significance of this failure is the blow it gives to chain or group banking. The great advantage of group bank ; ing, it was claimed, was that it gave experienced manage- ment, "diversified the resources, and strengthened the indi 1 vidual bank. Here is a case where the whole chain sank when the capstan pulled out. This situation may be used, however, as an argument for genuine branch banking where the banking system is run by commercial bankers and not made the tail of a kite for investment bankers and pro : moters and speculators. We are willing to bank on the south whose marvelous :. resources will quickly bring it back to financial health; but ' it is amazing what wreckage can be strewn over the country by the failure of a concern whose financial ramifications are so extensive. -Better a little more independence than " , such a concentration , of control of; capital which .means widespread disaster if the control proves either faithless - or unwise. i ' i Give the Merchants a Break THE shopping public is invited to do its Christmas shop ping. early." This is an of t-repeated admonition; but the I continued dinning has been having its effect. Who does not recall the strenuous days just before Christmas, say twen : ty-five years ago when Christmas shopping was crowded Into the last week? Now the buying is spread out better through the month of December to the great advantage of the shoppers, the clerks and. the merchants. , We do not like this rushing of Christmas with Santa Gaus coming to the stores early in November; it takes all the spirit out of the event, but after Thanksgiving, that time belongs to Christmas. Using the whole of the month for shopping: and sending Christmas gifts, the task is one of pleasure and the lengthened time often gives profit to the more discriminating purchaser. - Stores have stocked their Christmas wares, buying the best the markets afford. They are prepared now for the visitation of the buyers. Salem people would do well , to respond and to follow the injunction of the Lions club and .start their trading during this week. j raospmmx via wisecrack Never mind the burial of Old Man Gloom.

Beet ex tract.- lirer. sweetbreads, brain and kidneys are rich in purine. Beef contains less than half as large a percentage of purines as lirer. Gout Is a disease familiar to ererybody. From the beginning of time Jokes hare been made about the poor rictlm of gout. But It Is no laughing matter for the one who has the aliment. Certain ly the pain and discomfort from gout are excuse enough tor the bad disposition of a saint. Treatment In the acute attack of gout the patient should be put to bed and kept quiet. The foot with the In flamed joint should bo derated and kept warm. Simple diet rest "and quiet are tho particular things. -which" Will give relief. A doctor should have oversight of the sufferer. There are cert .in kidney trou bles which are traced to gout. Skin and eye troubles are among its complications. Certain mineral waters have long been considered useful. Elec tricity, light and heat, when right fully employed, help a good deal. Strapping an inflamed joint with adhesire does much to ease the pain. The, victim should take wani ng from the least touch of gout. He sffould begin at once to aroid those foods which are . too rich in purines.. Milk, and all milk prod ucts are good. Eggs, bread, cer eals, fruits and Tegetables make foundation diet which contains no purines. Temperance In all things Is good for everybody. Temperance in eating and drinking la essen tial In gout. Alcohol should be omitted in' all cases. . i Overeating has been the curse of every age. One of the penalties of prosperity Is th daager of in dulging the palate. Moderate eat ing should be the rule for every body. ? : It Is not gout alone that fol lows excesses. All tho organs and tissues of the body, suffer. Good sense demands moderation. Editorial i Comment From Other Papers 8TICK TO ELECTION l , . ..... .--I?'. To fill vacancies in the legisla ture, an inexpensive election . can be held, so the senator or repre sentative elected wUI . represent the people not the governor, not the county court, not the chamber of commerce and not the party committeemen. : We had enough party committee last spring -to last us a long-time. In any legislative 'district. , not even excepting Multnomah coun ty, it is possible to hold an inex pensire election. Not more than one judge and one clerk. will. be needed, a these would be only one office to fill and only a few candidates for teat etnee. . It would not be necessary to have the polls open IX ' hoars six hours will answer the purpose. No separate counting board la needed: it wouldn't take th ona lodge and clerk more than a half hour to count the ballots and make the records. Onfy a few polling place would be needed. and they could be placed in cen tral places.'. Under the constitutional amendment just adopted, in anti cipation of exactly the kind of a situation that now has arisen from ..the lamented departure of Senator Reynolds, the -legislature east provide method for tilling vacancies. Nothing lees thsn n real election by the people them- scire erea though it is not a costly election will satisfy the people. Common sons- and a lit tle detail work Is equal to the task ef devising n election meth od through which legislative emergency recencies may be fin ed at little cost to the taxpayer Orgoi Vote.

Tally laughed,' sinking on a stone a tew minutes later, pre tending to gasp for breath. With a quick movement, he puUed Louise down beside him and lit a cigarette. "Have one?" She shook her head impatient ly. Just like a man, stopping to smoke, with Nancy off some where in the dark with that Beamer. So they sat there, side by side on a bould-r, with the river swirling swiftly below them and the star-flecked sky glimmering darkly Overhead. And sometimes the sound of the dancing came down to them, and once the tin kle' of far-away lauchter and lomeone calling "Nancy Nan cy." They both stared at that. Mat Tully month tightened. "Nancy is awrauy popular, isn't she?" Yes. she's always been pop ular." "I've hardly seen her since we came up here. ; 'If s because they've all known her so long they just run away with her." Louise lied. As if any one could run away with an un willing Nancy! She felt him- brightening. "I kind of figured that way myself. counted oa . seeing her, yon know. Matter of fact, that's the only- reasea I came up ' here not- knowing anyone - else very well, ' I mean. . But that Jack Beamer is monopolising: her, darn him. They're around here in the woods somewhere now, I saw them go out. 'Did you?"- Louise's head be gan to ache. She knew -all along that he had just come out to look for -Nancy, but it was worse. somehow hearing him say it. Her eyes smarted. Not even a handkerchief in her pocket. "I hate him, tat. old thing, thinking he's making a hit with her when it's just because she's too good netured to turn aim down!" She fairly. apat It out. 'Oa say. be isn't fat! A little overweight maybe, but not so much." Mat's spirits rose by leaps- and' bounds. A' pleasant warmth stole over him. He took n look at this discerning girl.

You have seen gos pel trucks with the sides or hood liberally sprinkled with bible verses. JSome super-pious soul may use his . tire cover to adver tise his religion. On. the highway just before the sharp turn into Aurora Is - the sign: "Prepare to meet thy - God." Roadside rocks are often observed labeled "Jesus Saves." The purpose Is often to fright en one into conversion, or to use la propagating religion the de vices of vendors of chewing gum; cigarette and aoaps. X think how- ever the result is the opposite of the one - intended. Religion is cheapened by such-erase methods of exploitation. Cars and trucks embellished with biblieal ; q nota tions put religion' on the plane of the ludricous when they rival the . ramshackle - heaps adorned with collegiate wisecracks.

Her heart was beating suffocatingly. But she let him lead her. docilely, back over the path, soft end fragrant un derfoot, thick with the pine nee dles of many summers. "I ought to go back and find Nancy," she was thinking guilt ily, every step taking her farther away. But her head ached and she was tired. It was sweet to feel his arm about her, to walk for once as other girls walked, as Nancy . . . It was his stiffening, his little whistling lntakling ef breath that told her. She knew before ahe lifted her eyes and saw .them, silhouetted against a spangled sky. '. .;" ' Two figures, lost in each oth er's arms, oblivious of them, ob livious of everything but each other.

Jacki Beamer kissed Nancy Hollenbeck on the month, the eyes, the throat. " . It was late when Nancy crept np the stairs, softly. Except tor a lamp in the living room and a dim light in the upper hall the house was in darkness; everyone had gone to bed. She had left Beamer, a little self-consciously, downstairs. Everything had hapened so much quicker than, ahe had dreamed it could. "He's certainly a fast worker!" she smiled to herself in the 1 darkness, . bnt it was an apprehensive smile, and she had a weak, slcklsh feeling la the pit of her stomach.

Many thousands could thus be put to work soon. building the foundations of a gi gantic industry. . In last Sunday's Portland Jour nal, Fred Lockley, former Salem boy and man. had the following which Is worth either reading or rereading: . . I "When I lived at!' Salem there were" two ; Chautauqua circles there. Mrs. William Ladue- was president of one j and Robert WhI taker, pastor of the Baptist church, was president of the other. Th MeNary'r girls, whose brother, Charlie, is l now United States senator from Oregon; Jack Winstanley, who has later written a number of books on geology, with myself and some others, used to meet at the Bap tlst personage each week, and wrestle with English literature and other subjects. , . For many years Robert Whitaker has lived in California. I believe he lives at Los Gatos. Robert Whitaker is a man of Intense convictions and when he read in his Bible that we were sons of God he be lieved that if this Wa the faet then. all men are brothers. Try as he would, he could not find any place in the Bible- that said that the Germans Were stepsons of God; consequently, 'before this country declared war- against Germany and. the central powers. with voice and pen he proclaimed the -futility and the wickedness of war. When our country went to war against Germany he still maintained i that the Germans were human beings and that when we . got to heaven, if we did. we would find Germans there as-well, as Americans. He was arrested and thrown into Jail for his beliefs, and his friends went by on the other side of the- street. He is stUl preaching and teaching that ft Is as wicked to kill men In ft wholesale way with liquid fire, poison gas and machine guns particularly men whom you nev er say and against whom you have no personal enmity as ft Is to i kill a private!
