the same drivers are repeating the trip over virtually j the
tame route. But noi over the same roads. No, indeed. Twenty

l"The Old Scout" is due 1n Albany today noon and then

journey of 195, insisted on coming over the Santiam pass

toll road. I J . - .
This Seven Mile mountain gave Huss and Wigle their

it. However it is to be eliminated in the new Santiam high

Community Bldod-Letting
THERE is nothing like a good neighborhood row to get
people's minds off the notes they owe the banks. Here we
had a full-sized one! for a week in the country from Junction
City where the pupils "struck" because the sehoolboard fired
tlie teacher and hired a new "one. Just a' neighborhood row,
but it rated columns in the Portland and upstate press. Mem
bers of the sehoolboard made naughty charges , against the
teacher they I deposed and her supporters claimed she was
fired because she put the directors' 4Cows out of; her pasture.
A perfect setting, as one may easily see, for a large-sized
feud. Now the old teacher is back on the job when the par
ents installed her in-the school room; but many a tongue will
be sharpened on the whetstone of gossip -before the . last is
beard of the fuss. n H i ? . I '::)
Then Rainier is having another of its periodical blood
letting excursions. This time it is a recall election againit
the sehoolboard. The brief news item says charges zee being
hurled back and forth "in reckless abandon; It must be quite
an enjoyable hatef est with neighbors cussing each, other, out
and relating all their past sins. ! -. i
Fear, prejudice, passion, we are all the victims of our
emotions. little things-may get the village or the tty astir.
Gossip travels like swift lightning, and before one knows it
the community is split wide open, often over .very trivial mat
ters. Mass ignorance and emotionalism make our self -government
a treacherous "right", v- i I

mpNIGHT the Salem Drum Corps leaves for Detroit. They
go to represent the Department of Oregon at the Ameri
can legion national drum corps contest. They o also as rep
resentatives of Capitol Post No. 9 and of the city of Salem.
It goes without saying that they have iback of them the cor
dial and united support of Salem and of the state. Thousands
will listen with eagerness to hear the result of jthe contest
Wednesday night, Sept. 23rd and Oregonians are confident
that the Salem corps will finish in the top ranks.
These men ought to win. Anyone living in the vicinity of
North Fourteenth street will testify how continuously they
have rehearsed. Night after night, until late, at night, the
men have marched and counter-marched on Olinger field and
played their music and received the criticism of the director
" m the effort to make the performance absolutely perfect. So
the neighbors "out.our way" are convinced that the Salem
drum corps will be perfectly fit for the big event next week.
So goodbye and good-luck to the Salem drum corps as it

The possibility of catching; a
disease from a book is very ire
mote, so mueh so that we can aay
that there lis no danger. Dis
ease germs do not grow and mul
tiply on books; they need moist,
warm places. Books are dry.
and furthermore, they would fur
nish no food on which the germs
could exist.: Oaly a few disease
germs resist drying end : these
particular germs need to be ' In
troduced deep Into the tissues in
order to grow in the human body.
This applies particularly ' to the
organism ; which causes lockjaw
or tetanus, which is a spore form
ing germ and resists ordinary dty
lng almost Indefinitely?' i
One frequently hears or, reads
of eases of scarlet fever that have
supposedly developed by using! a
book which: a scarlet-fever iia
tient had handled during his ill
ness. TheBe accounts often relate
how books or toys have been laid
away for years iMr when .resur
rected, promptly cause another
child to hare the disease. These
instances are .very hard to sub
stantiate; aa a matter of fact the
scarlet fever germ dies Just as
quickly on a book as any other
germ If the ! book has been: kept
in a dry plae for a long time.
Libraries no longer destroy
books when they have been in a
home where a contagious disease
has developed, because competent
authorities have stated that there
is no danger of transferring the
infection- Jt reasonable i length
of time has been allowed to elapse
after the patient has handled the
book, and the book is seissued. So
parents may rest- assured thkt
there will be no danger Jn- allow
Inr their child to nse a book
formerly used by a child In an
other family. . l'y ::N

Kincaid's - reminMcencee :
(Continuing from yesterday:)
"The . gossips aaid - President
Johnson had a son in aa inebri
ate asylum. I do not , know
whether there was ny ; f oundar
tion for that. The 'president's
wife had died, and the wife of
Senator Patterson of Tennessee,
who was the president's daugh
ter or sister and another daugh
ter or sister kept house for him
and helped him with his recep
tions. "

- "Lincoln said he had not much
influence with his administration.
In fact, no king, president, gov
ernor or other important officer
has much influence with his ad
ministration. They are hedged in
with so many circumstances over
which they have no control, and
which must be controlled by other
human power, or by the Supreme
Power of the Universe, that they
are seldom free to - do as they
wish. President Johnson could
have said truthfully that he had
no Influence with his administra
tion. -
"Neamila. of Oregon said when
he goMnto the senate he wonder
ed how he got there. After he had
been there a little while he won
dered how the other, fellows got
there.
. "Andrew Johnson was not the
only man the world ia . full of
them whox have .held important
positions and no doubt have won
dered what evil influence ever put
them into positions which brought
so much trouble upon them. But
If they would reflect they .might
come to the conclusion that there!
are no two people just alike, and
no two. positions or conditions in
life Just alike, and Bomebody
must fill every condition and be
la every position, whether he Is
called Alexander, Caesar, Kapol
eon. Kaiser, Lincoln, Grant or An
drew Johnson.. Why Is it so? I do
not know. After Johnson went out
of the office of president he was
elected i a senator from Tennes
see. I sat on a sofa a few feet from
him aadTheard him speak in the
senate about one hour in defense
let his administration as president
Tne senators did not give him
much attention. He did not seem
to. have any more influence in, the
senate than he had with his ad
ministration when he was presi
dent.
"
L'There was more or less rival
ry and Jealousy, between the sen
ators of nearly every state when
there were two belonging to the
same party. When there was one
republican and one democrat they
got along all right, because one
could not Interfere with the arp-
pointments or party affairs of the
other. The one belonging, to the
party in power, was sole monarch
of all he surveyed, and, like the
devil in olden time, could take a
constituent up . on a high "moun
tain and show him that he owned
the whole world with a fence
around it. But if there was anoth
er senator of the same party to
butt in, there was usually a tow
in the family or a feeling that, one
was superior ta the other. Morton
was the great man from Indiana,
and any colleague -of the same
party who would have had the
temerity . to interfere with the
great war governor', would -have
been reprimanded. - Conkiing of
New York was the unquestioned
republican boss of New York. Ed
munds of Vermont did. not have
to worry about . old Morrill of
Vermont, who usually .kept quiet,
about him, but evidently Almee
has learned on her third marriage
to pick a young man."

but. sometimes read or spoke i
piece, slowly in a kind of stutter

heard for SO years until they had
become used to it. He did not in
terfere with Edmunds, the great.
tan, stoop, shouldered, bald head
ed lawyer who tore to pieces ev
ery, measure be failed to approve.
ana he usually disapproved of
nearly everything and iumned on
it with both feet. "Lot M. Morrill
of Maine, whose bald head often
rose when, in a loud voice, he laid
down the law to his fellow sen
ators, did not seem to disturb or
worry old Hannibal Hamlin, who
had been in j office nearly 50
years, part of the time aa vice
president. Hamlin seldom had
anything to say, and then only in
a few words, in a conversational
tone. In reply to a question or ex
plaining something, never any
thing like a 'speech.! But he al
ways delivered the goods. When
he went hunting he nearly always
brought in meat. While his col
leagues would be orating, Hamlin
would probably go pp to the
president or one of the depart
ments to get an appointment, or
order, or recommendation for his
state or for a constituent, and
take off his old batters i hat, and
that old hat would never- be put
on again until? he got what he
went for. It was current rumor
around the senate that every
president and every secretary for
generations had learned from ex
perience that when that old stove
pipe hat made Its appearance and
was set down on the floor or
desk, ; there would be -something
aoing neiore it would ever be tak
e? u asain, to 'ornament the head
of a statesman.
"Then, there was old Simon
Cameron of Pennsylvania, the
greatest -Roman of them all. He
started out like Ben Franklin as
a poor printer boy. When he got
into politics his party was in a
minority a the legislature. He
pulled over two or three: of the
majority party and elected Ifim-
self senator. It was never known
just how he did it. But it gave
him a great reputation all his life
as worker of wonders- For 40
years or more be controlled the
politics of the great state of
Pennsylvania, and made and un
made presidents, and was a sen
ator, a cabinet officer or foreign
minister for nearly half a cen
tury. He said he had been called a
leader of the people-, but he never
was. He-found ouf" what way the
people were going and marched
right along with them in the front
ranks. He could not hate a rival,
and did not need to be jealous of
any other senator: They might or
ate all day, or two or three, days
at a time, as Conkiing did in favor
of the electoral commission bill to
settle the dispute between Hayes
and Tilden tor the presidency in
1877, but that did not disturb or
arouse the eavy of Simon Camer
on, who bad then perhaps lived 0
years, and had been used te hear-.
lag outbursts' Of- eloquence all his
life. He never: made Speeches. He
knew better. "He would sometimes
take a string and pull it with his
fingers, and Say sv few words In
favor of an appropriation to im

outlandish names - of . Ohio towns
In which old Ben Wade and John
Sherman were interested, .such as
'Sandusky and 'Ashtabula-' When
he wanted anything he did 'not

At Mouksiiver, a country place

Creyke, dead from a stab wound
in a car inside the grounds. Hear

"Bad luck , that," said Martell
sympathetically. "One can only
hope that some clue will be forth
coming yet." j 'i
"Oh. a clue's going to .be found
both, to Creyke's murderers and
to the whereabouts of that-man In
their power,: before we re
through." Jim Wynter's voice was
grimly determined. '
For a moment he paused.
"But what puzzles me is why
these men should have troubled
to; bring me all the way , from
Richmond, leave me in a doctor's
hands, instead of letting me strug
gle back to my senses In that
empty house. What had they to
gain by it? Queer that," he said
thoughtfully. "Well I mustn't lose
any time now In getting Into

kind" enough to say I, might use
your telephone, Dr; Martell?? 1
"Of course. You vould like to

; .With a dressing gown over his
pajamas, Wynter went downstairs

ertion of rising; but the doctor's
pick-me-up savored of wizardry.

Wynter rang up the Graysons

Dear Sir; ; . -
Regretting that your otherwise
excellent paper is rather wabbly
on its. prohibition lers I submit
the following. . I i
1st: If our officers find it dif
ficult ti prohibit Under . prohibi
tion, how could they hope to reg
ulator under regulation? How
much more difficult to detect the
violators! Wouldn't they look
funny trying to determine the
percent of alcoholic content pre
viously Imbibed by a suspect? li
. . 2nd: Many people, due to wet
propaganda,, think the drinking
among young people is caused by
prohibition. What about ' the
greatly Increased prevalence of
smoking? That has not been pro
hibited. Quite the reverse.
3rd: While It is tre that -the
rackateer or gangster is usually
a trafficker in liquor, still the
removal of restrictions would not
prevent the pperatioas of : rival
gangs, would it? If bootlegging
becomes " unprofitable,!' there , are
plenty of other opportunities', to
make ' violence and Intimidation
profitable. i
As a means of helping the
needy this winter, I wish ' your
paper would sponsor a canning
campaign.. . Through your col
umns., urge every housewife to
2111 every, available Jar with: the
fruit and vegetables now going to
waste. Perhsps the merchants
would belp by furnishing Jars. ,
.They could easily be stored at
home until needed. Perhaps a
canning kitchen could , be ar
ranged where the farmers could
bring the things they j could not
sell.; Or. Is the Associated Chari
ties equipped to take care of such
work? . -" j -
At any rate, such an activity
needs wide publicity.. I. feel sure
many women, would do extra can
ning! if the matter-was called to
their attention and the campaign
organised. Through 1 sufficient
urging, a lot of expense could be
saved and waste products utilised.
