':, At a meeting: of the Salem,
school - board held last evening
Prof. J. M. Powers was reelected
superintendent of the eity schools.
Mr. Powers has been holding that
position tor the past two rears.--:
Probably one of the finest spec
imens ef the bison owned In the
world is now on display In the
window ' of Watt Shipp's sporting
store. It belongs to Superinten
dent Chalcraft of Chemawa to
whom it was given by a wealthy
Indian rancher residing in Mon
tana. - - -. .

the press, will show that the pop
ulation of Salem 'has - Increased

years. . - ' ' :V ,- ,' - '. . --
U ' Rift in the Ranks , .
THE old laws of politics still bold good because they are
founded on certain characteristics of human nature.
1 Whenever a man heads a new movement which sweeps him
! into power; he finds.it impossible to reconcile the demands
iof all his followers. Many want office. Others have ideas
Mrith varying degrees of soundness. So the ranks soon divide
and those who. were flag-bearers become open critics.
I Gov. Meier is now passing through that experience. One
j by: one segments of his vast following drop off. The" first
' open ; defection comes in Marion county with Judge Mc-
Mahan : and his , following over the dropping of Charlie
Spaulding from the highway commission. The veteran judge,
never ardent as a Meier man although he was called m to
do the official annointing to office, doesnt hesitate to voice
his hostility to the way the governor has been running
tWngS4,; '
Now the radical wing in Portland is off the reservation.
This was foreseen a year ago when Kenneth Harlan was
foiled in, his ambition to move into a position of authority
on the power program. Instead of relying on Harlan who
had claimed the title of people's advocate on the power
i question,. Go vv Meier turned to a stodgy, legalistic lawyer,
Cot A. E. Clark, whose radical tendencies are limited by a
wholesome respect for the constitution. Harlan and Harry
; Gross denounced the Clark power bills as false to the Jo
I seph platform. In truth they were, as this newspaper pointed
j out when they were pending. However probably George
Joseph himself would have worked out some face-saving
- formula representing a middle-ground on the power ques
, tionu And the Clark bills doubtless represented more accur
i ately the public will than the radical ideas of Harlan and
j Gross did. -. '
The News-Telegram has trained with Harlan and Gross
; and is now turning its front page columns over to editor
.j ials against Henry Hanzen, the governor's political advisor.
While so far it .3 not attacking the governor except by in-
i ference, the breach is apparent. Whether part of the cause
I for the News-Telegram's turning sour is due to the failure
I of Jhe paper to retain the large volume of M&F advertising
I alter the News absorbed the Telegram it is hard to say.
J TL f w...-t. i J Tl i i.1 A. Si. ' T L
lius uxucii 19 uuuuiiess true uiai it is vne omy paper in iron-
land with courage enough to stand up and fight the gover
nor in spite of loss of advertising. The Oregonian was re
puted long ago to have made its peace.
The crux of the fight will come in the senatorial pri
tnary this spring. Col. Clark trotted out by Gov. Meier and
Hanzen as an entry against Sen. Steiwer will have to face
fire from both flanks because Kenneth Harlan, noted Port
land rate "expertf is a candidate for the same office. His
j- purpose is to defeat Clark. That is evident. He will prob-
abty succeed though he fail to defeat Steiwer. The Clark-
! Harlan ; feud. promises to be bitter, and will doubtless en
1 gross public attention as the most important battle of the
1 campaign. -
1 .The importance of these breaches cannot be definitely
1 lorecast. ine cleavage may resurt m the wreck of the Han
: sen machine. Holman is regarded as none too docile a fol-
lower of the governor's and if he thinks his ambitions may
! be served may head up this" revolt against the Hanzen dic-
! tatorship l
Quarrel over, the spoils has always spoiled the fruits of
j victoryj It is going: to take some clever headwork by the
1 astute Hanzen to localize and minimize the present defec-
irom Duu-irog soiiaanty.

l mHE proposal has been revived for a general government
jl guarantee of bank deposits, using a portion of the earn
ings of the federal reserve banks as the base of such a
j -guarantee fund. It is pointed out that the actual losses in
! liquidation of banks that have been members of the fed
eral reserve system have not been large in the past. The
, virtue of the guarantee scheme would be that it would
make the funds of depositors almost immediately available
rather than dependent on slow liquidation of assets. " "
j Yes. the government might work out some such guar
; aatee for bank deposits. Likewise we have those who want
! thexgovernment to guarantee certain earnings to railroads
and to farmers, and employment to workers.
1 But theresources of governments are, not inexhaustible."
When such a vast industrial enterprise as -Kreuger-& Toll
which has financed governments itself comes, to the brink
of; disaster, it is apparent that; size is not guarantee of
success nor of invulnerability from the vicissitudes of for
tune. 4 , ' "-i
' IX may be possible to work out some such guarantee sys
tem through the operation of the well known principles of
insurance. Likewise something may be done to provide em
J ployment- insurance and such i like. But we doubt if any.
' scheme could be provided by" which the government could
; .; successfully make blanket guarantees for diverse interests.
When the hurricane of business adversity blows even gov
Cmments tremble in the blast. v ' , : li - r ?
Ultimately there is no guarantee about the future. For
M what guarantees the guarantor? The endorsement of . a note

'TJe, business of the world is done on credit; and credit

risk. We may temper these risks through insurance or guar
anty schemes. But no one can foretell the trends of the

distributed t, the International
convention of Women's clubs to be
held at Seattle in June. -
Monday's club meeting was un
usually attractive because of. its
being garden day. A color scheme
of yellow and green was carried
out. Yellow daffodils and tapers in
green holders, little yellow and

Aug. 24, 1835: "Jason Lee set
out for Vancouver accompanied by
Mr. Nuttall. who has been with
us for a visit for a few weeks
past." (This was Thomas Nutt

J. K. Townsend came the year be

and Nuttall found and named
many new specimens of flora and

There is under Aug. 3 date a
statement that the brother of
Kenoteesh came and demanded
that the body be disinterred that
he might "once more have a view
of his countenance, etc., and see
how he was buried. He appears
satisfied with what has been
done." But tbe Sept. 1 record
shows: "Have heard this day that
the Indian who has lately visited
us, although he appeared satis
fied, was nevertheless qalte dis
satisfied and intended taking the
life, of Messrs. Daniel Lee and Cy
rus Shepard the night he tarried
here but was prevented from ex
ecuting this design by another In
dian who accompanied him. This
may be true or it may. be false.
Report came from the Indians on
the other side of the river, with
whom he had a skirmish after he
left here and killed several of
them."

For Aug. 29 the record reads:
"Lessee, a Calapoola girl, was sent
