Per Copy S cent On trains and News Stands 5 cent Safety, Saturday! SATURDAY is the most popular day for automobile acci dents, according to the statistics compiled by Ray Con " way of the Oregon state motor association. 17.7 of all the accidents occur on that day. There is reason for it too. Thous ands of people are on the streets and roads. They are hurry ing to get home with the Sunday roast, hurrying to get out to the golf links, hurrying to get to the beach for dinner. The time of the day which is the peak for accidents is from 4 p. m. to 9 p. m. Last year 10 of all accidents occur red in these hours. , This is the way the accident total divides among days other than Saturday: Sunday 15.3; Monday 13.6; Tues day 12.9; Wednesday 13.7; Thursday 13.4; Friday 13.1. What should the motorist conclude from these statis tics? Well, hardly that he should stay off the road on Satur days and between the hours of 4 and 9 p. m. But at least that at those times he should exercise special precaution, drive a littleraore slowly, take fewer chances in weaving in and out of the lane of traffic in an effort to beat the other fellow. As Conway says : "Saturday motorists should keep In mind it is better to arrive home an hour late with safety than it is to take a chance 1 and risk an accident." No Freedom of the Press THE battle for freedom of the press, for freedom of as sembly and of petition, for freedom of speech and move ment from place to place has not been won. In the coal min ing regions of the east the feudal system still prevails with the company the government and courts and churches the vassals of the industrial nobility. Last week attention was focused oh the effort of New ton D.- Baker, former secretary of war to have lifted the ruling of a circuit judge in Kentucky barring reporters of Knoxville, Tenn. from attending and reporting a trial in Mount Sterling. The chief justice of the Kentucky court of appeals refused to issue the writ sought, which means that professional reporters seeking the facts for their papers will not be permitted in the court room during a murder trial which grows out of the industrial disputes, . Representation was made that the previous articles in the Knoxville paper were by no means incendiary, that the reporters had violated none of the proprieties. Nevertheless they are barred, which means that the bill of rights which was the very creed of the early day Kentuckian3 is flouted and nullified at the very place where it should be revered. Salem Bright Spots THE Salem Linen mills i3 busy with its new looms making toweling, crash, and material for tropical suitings. It re cently received a large order for yarn from the Cannon mills concern in the east, famous towel manufacturers. The Western Paper Converting company has installed machinery for manufacture of the popular cellophane bags and similar products. The nut-growers association is experimenting with roast ed filberts which it hopes to make a profitable item in its line. It already is building up a market for cracked nuts as well as the uncracked which it handles in large volume. Salem factories are alert to the times. They are adapt ing processes and products enabling them to stay in the lead. All of this means profit to the companies and employment for the workers. There is no stand-still even in times of depression. Com petition in fact quickens rather than slows down the pace. The clever, the aggressive a3 well as the strong survive. A Fresh Endorsement THE next ad of S. Martin, Ltd. in Seattle papers should read : "W. A. Scott, circulation manager of the Salem Capital Journal, wears one of our English topcoats 'and likes it'." For in connection with the tirade made by the Capital Journal upon Congressman Hawley because a topcoat he bought at Bishop's turned out to be of an English woven fa bric, it was learned that "Scotty" is clothed with the same raiment. , . It's a good coat, and we could call the list of a good many Salem men who wear the coat, bought in the retail stores of Salem. Congressman Hawley and the circulation manager of the C-J are to be congratulated on their good taste in clothing. . That cost Is an important factor in tho purchase of butter is . Indicated by the declining sale for oleomargarine In tho times when butter prices are down. Tho production of uncolored oleomargarine, -which is the general name for non-butter table spreads, was over 27 million pounds In September, 1920; but dropped to over 18,000,009 pounds la September, 1931, a reduction of one-third. Oleo prices hare come down too and some places are reported as very low but people prefer butter and buy it when its price is not above their In come level. Democratic politicians at Portland didn't seem very willing to gamble on their chances of victory, and all decried the possibility of raising a war chest of $25,000. They ,might appeal to the Re construction Finance corporation which Is designed to aid broken down treasuries.

True enough. Most every house has Its special plate used only on special occasions. It may be a silver platter which gathers tar nish most of the year, to be pol ished till it shines like a mirror for Thanksgiving or Christmas. I have one of those vast blue-ware platters, an heirloom, reachlifg back into' family history I know not how far. It is pat In service only on some "great occasion" and then with appropriate ceremony. It Is invested with family tradi tion, with the beauty of a rare antique, more precious by far than the newest platter from the gold smiths. Then there are the usual clutter of pots and pans, of china bowls with nicks in them, of wooden spoons familiar like the next door neighbor, and kettles with warped lids and coffee potl with loose handles and knobs. They got tho brunt of the household service. We call them everyday dishes, and we feel a bit chagrined if some one of taste comes in and finds us us ing them. Life does have Its "area area. sionS." Weddinsrs and annivnrKATs. iea. grand dinners, family re unions, the vlBlt of soma one of eminence each date ranks as a great event. For It we have our sliver service (rarely any gold plate since china became com mon) and we have our Bavarian or Haviland ware or our newer glass ware. The event must have apnroDriate settine. The breakfast dishes stay on the shelves. The best the house af fords, perchance the heat whins the generous neighbor's house af- rords are all pressed Into use on the "great occasion." It is so easv for life to aettl in. to a monotone, for the common war to be in daily use week-fn, week-out. The wooden and earth en utensils answer the purpose for such living. And wooden and earthen do folk become who live their lives out on some dull, dead level. It is the "great occasion" which challenees the soul in risa above the routine of mere living, just as the grand dinner inspires me nousewue to show her finnst skill as a cook. (One virtue of go ing .to church Is that convention demands that one dress nn in hie "Sunday beat". 'and that gives one a Detier opinion or himself.)

So he may die having lived a well-ordered but event-less existence. But Paul flaw that man should seize his opportunities, for in ine verse which follows he said "So if a man will cleanse himself from these things he will be put to great uses." We do not scorn the familiar kettles and crocks of the scullery, nor the knives and forks whose base metal is showing through the plating. Thev are all in ntAariT. worthy service.

January 10, 1923 The Salem Ministerial asnnMa. tlon yesterday protested an al- iegea discrimination on the part of the press, claiming that in a public discussion between Protes tant and Catholic writers, the lat ter had been given a more promin ent place in publication. Jamea R. Linn of Salem yes terday was elected president of the state fair board; H. C. Brown of Portland, vice president; A. H. Lea of Portland, secretary, and A. N. Bush of Salem, treasurer. The annual report of Sam A. Kozer, secretary of state, shows that during 1921 a total of 118, 615 motor vehicles, excluding mo torcycles, were registered in Ore gon, New Views "Do you think-the democrats can convince the nation they should be given political control after 191 2 T" This was the que, tion asked yesterday by States man reporters.

TOFO(3oSH- GooesGoffr Tuesday "Man has Mora o I Jill j9l w 1 1 -" waaaasaaaMaariaae AiO Too A 1 Impatient People Irritated By Patient Ones; Strange? By D. H. Talmadge, Sage of Salem Folks, more esDeciallv folks, are so differentl The same creatures, yet. Following the same general tenor of existence. But one woman looks at a man and sees only his soulful eyes, whereas another looks at a man and sees only his soilful shirt col- lor. Folks are of two sort, patient and lmDatient. and for son or other the patient ones ag gravate ine impatience of tho im patient ones. Patience is a most admirable quality. Far be It from me to assert, or even to hint, oth erwise. Nor would I question the w 1 a d o m of Mr. Longfellow's "learn to labor and tr wait" counsel. All the same, it doesn't evidence very good sense to at tempt the removal of a tiny finger sliver with a darning needle. It is better. I think, tn i am ait and very sharp needle and do the J f . . a . uarning vocally. The sidewalks of Salem, in common with the sidewalks of other cities, are now and then spat upon by thoughtless people, mostly young. I recall an anti spitting ordinance passed by the city coucil 20 years ago, which is, presumably, still alive. This or dinance was quite vigorously en forced for a time and there was considerable ducking into alleys and stairways, particularly stair ways, on the part of harrassed spitters. Chronle spltters have confessed to me that spitting on a sidewalk is a dull and spiritless business, anyway, compared to ah-p-tooing on a nice clean secluded-stairway. The thrill to the spitter lies in the spatter I sup pose. Every man who has been elect ed to a state or national legisla tive body is referred to at one time or another as a "construct ive statesman". It is a general custom, like scratching the head. I once knew a "statesman" who was clearly and definitely quali fied as "constructive". He was a brick-layer by trade.

The evening star, Venus, shines brilliantly in the southwest. Some of us find It Pleasurable to keep In touch with the comings and goings of the other planets In our own small so lar system. It is possible we bene fit somewhat in so doing by the thought thus engendered. Certain ly such thought if any does us no harm. Goal for 1932: Fewer and more musical head colds. There is a person, sometimes a man, sometimes a woman, whose way it la to stand up firmly against life in its uglier moods. Such person is not commonly given to word in profuse quan tity. Nor does he or she laugh frequently, except with the eye, nor weep copiously. Rather grim. But a marvellous fighter. Stands up and takes trouble on the chia and sends it back again. A mighty comfort, a pillar of strength, such a person. Ona for the sick at heart, the terrified, to cling to. Every family should hare one. But few families are thus blessed. However, I have known such persons. Local snow prophets have had a hard winter thus far. What with observing w;ather indications, spreading the prophecies and manufacturing alibis, some of the more intensive ones are pretty well worn out. But it ta not yet too late for snow. Quite a stretch till tulip time. You may travel "up" from Sa lem to Portland: or you may tra vel "down", as appears to you most proper.

A fire alarm was sent In from the Hollywood theatre a few days ago. Happily, it was not much of a fire. But there are folks In town who held their breaths for a mo ment.

I was very fickle about my escorts. At times he was dark and anolce in Spanish and had a mandolin hung over his saddle, and sometimes he was slender and soft-voiced and had blue eyes.

He smiled. She shook her head. "Certainly no very nice ones Cke you." Ted threw mesquite on the fire uatu it leaped again and crackled like a thousand roasting chestnuts. On the farther aide of the fire he spread out the girl's poncho and placed the saddle at its head. The saddle- blanket was already drv and warm from the flames, and this he laid over the poncho. The result he con templated dubiously. "I've seen softer-looking beds, but it will be warm enough unless the night turns cooL Try it" Obediently she rolled no in the blanket and laid her head on the saddle. Looking up she made a face at him. "This isn't going to be either warm or soft, big man, but it's life in the areat Southwest" She closed her eyes. Tios, but ant tired, she murmured. For an hour Ted sat smoking and at last reDlenishina the fire with wood, he lay down beside it Already tne girl s eyes were closed, and her hands were clasoed about the saddle. horn. He stooped and pulled the Blanket Higher about her throat, for a cool current of air was pouring down out of the mountains. For a brief second she opened her eyes. "You're a dear," she told him, and went to sleea araia. Dawn had already brightened into sunrise when Ted awoke. He arose. coxa and sua from hours on the hard sand, and looked about him. Mist was still rising from the desert, and as yet the sunlight held no warmth. Tethered in a clump of mesquite, the mare raised her head and whinnied impatiently. Ted looked up. "I know," he said half aloud, "you're hungry and thirsty, and you've got nothing on me." A rustling in the saddle blanket made him 'turn. Two sleepy eyes were being rubbed, and a mop of hair frantically smoothed into submission. BITS for BREAKFAST By R. J. HENDRICKS Mount Angel: When the Indians prayed there: S . There was printed in the March, 1904, number of the Quarterly of the Oregon Histori cal Society a theretofore unpub lished extract from T. W. Daven port's "Recollections of an Indi an Agent," that, in connection with the present uses of tha "Mount of Communion" of the red men, Is peculiarly Interesting for that Is the Engel Berg (An gel Mountain) or Mount Angel- long occupied by the Catholic Order of St. Benedict for its Mount Angel college and other in stitutions.

Her fingers, still clinging, slipped down his arms, then j "The Indians of the west coast were given to amulets or charms, and generally kept them secreted. They believed, too, in a multiplic ity of spirits distributed among the objects of nature, such as the spirits of the mountain, the stream and smaller things. That is, the mountain had a 'ta-man-a-was;' that was the name given by many. They also believed In a Great Spirit, but whether that idea was obtained from the mis sionaries. I cannot tell. When 1 arrived in Oregon in 1881, the In dians everywhere I met them talked about tha Sohll Tyee, or God, though they still spoke of the spirit of things. ". "In either case he is not so far removed from civilised man and his religious habits as some sup pose, and If logical perception is not sufficient proof of this, the conversion of tha savage to Chris tianity and tha adoption by hint of tho Christian symbols with en tire satisfaction of his Inherited trait ought to be- conclusive. Through such manifestations It is not hard to discover that the In dian is a religious being and given to worship.

"I'm going to ride the first hour and you'll ride the second hour," she told him, as they turned toward the dark outline of Eagle Rock. "Even in riding boots 1 can walk with a fine swinging stride that's a joy to see." But walking was to prove an necessary. Far down among the mesquite they first saw a faint move ment that neared and became a cav alcade of people and horses slowly making its way out of the desert up toward the slopes these , two were descending. For a time thejr watched the slow, trudging figures, then Adela clapped her hands in delight "It's Anton, and his Yaquis, re turning to their mountain home. He will let you have something with four legs." Ted's thoughts flashed back to the encounter between the Yaqui and Morales two nights ago. For a mo ment he hesitated. But already one of Anton's men caught sight of them and called back to the others. Al most at once three warriors detached themselves and pounded up the slope at a dead run. Anton himself greeted them, holding the hand of each a moment in his own while he listened silently to the girfs tale. At time his black eyes turned to the man be side her. bat alwava tS- ruhir.. to Adela. At last he stepped forward and put the reins of his own horse in xeas nana.

The t . a. . - - ne turned to the girl, speaking in Spanish too rapid and low for Ted to understand.
