The Safety Valve - - Letteri from Statesman Readers The Forgotten Man THE real forgotten man is the fellow who is hanging on to his job, working steadily, paying his grocer and his doc tor, paying his taxes, and taking, his family for a ride in the family car on Sunday afternoons if the weather is good. He is NOT hunger marching to state capitols. He is NOT barnstorming budget meetings. He is NOT curbstoning half his time cussing the gov ernment. He is NOT lining up at the wailing wall with the rich to decry all taxes and agitate for tearing down schools and oth er institutions. He is NOT all through and washed up. This man is really forgotten while the press and the pol iticians exalt to unwonted fame and attention the ne'er-do-wells, the shiftless, the publicity-mongers, the half-bakes and nit-wits who neglect their own business (if they have any) while they try to tear down the business of other people and the government, and established institutions of the country. We are living in a psychology of failure, where the man who has made any success is viewed as suspect, a fellow to be looted of his goods ; and where we would pamper the idle, and extol the destitute. CALVE COOLXDGB America has lost a priceless friend; A nation's grief and adoration blend. Of Puritanic fiber soul and soil; Ha knew the tips and down of homely toll; ! In atmosphere of pious home was reared; Throughout the nation's heart was high revered. He exemplified Ideal democracy. Whose warp and woof were sin cere modesty. And qualities of true nobility. Tho strong re-urged for Nation's highest place, -He firm refused Its further prof fered grace; Tet from his native heath a bea con bright He shone a star of wisdom; Jus tice; might. His high example nought can ever dim; Aye, words were weak for proper praise of him. And Calvin Coolidge still we see and hear. As reverent we pause beside his bier. EDNA GARFIELD.

How Salem won fight for permanent capital i a (Continuing from i yesterday:) The tight for the location of the capital began even la the days of the provisional government whea the Oregon country was foreign territory; was under the Joint oc cupation agreement. The legislative body of the pro visional government designated Oregon City as the capital oa June 17, 1844, and again, or rather confirmed it, on December It, 1845. "W The long fight under the terri torial government was given la considerable detail In this column, several months ago, running through several issues. It began even la the first session of the territorial legislature In 1841, when the mandate of the aet of admission was overlooked, neg lected or passed by. . S U "it was at white heat when, la the second regular session of '50 51. at Oregon City, on Jan. 18, 1851, Salem was chosen as the seat of government. Feb. 1, 1851, it may be said, the capital was moved to Salem; rather, most of the territorial offices were moved to this then small town. Some of the officers, including the gover nor, John P. Gaines, refused to come, under the plea that the act of location was irregular, there fore not valid. Most of the mem bers of the territorial legislature elected la 1851 came to Salem and held the 1851-8 legislative session In basement rooms of the Oregon Institute. But four went to Oregon City and held a rump see- slon; three house and one council member; the latter being Colum bia Lancaster, who elected him self to all the offices, made mo tions to himself and passed res olutions In regular order, etc etc. S S A mass meeting was held May 8, 1852, at Oregon City, protest ing against the usurpations and abuses of the Methodist clique at Salem, which had, without due process of law, stolen the seat of government from the city by the falls, as the leaders there pretend ed to believe. S January 13. 1855, the 1854-5 session of the territorial leglsla ture, meeting in rooms of the un finished territorial capltol In Sa lem, changed the seat of govern ment to Corvallis. Rejoicing over this supposed victory of the embryo town up the river over their hated rival,- Sa lem, some of the leaders of the town of Portland fired a salute of 44 guns, to celebrate the event. Dec. 12, '55, the legislature meeting at Corvallis voted the capital back to Salem, where it reconvened on the 18th, in the then finished territorial capitol. standing where the state house is now, which was burned down on the night of Saturday, Dec. 29, '55, after which it reconvened in the Rector building, next north of the present Statesman building: also held the '56-7 sessions there, and, after that, beginning with the '67-8 session, and continuing until 1876, in the Holmaa build ing, still standing on the corner north of The Statesman building with the session of 1876 going to the partially completed state house, and all following sessions, of course, being held there. over from the New Tear's feast?

X vsaterdav. is the zone of illusion whither nolitical dema- why gogues promise to lead the people : no taxes, a chunk of gold for every citizen, one day of labor a week. Jackson county, however, represents what a visitor f rora Medford describes as the "State of Paranoia". There the citizens suffer from delusions of persecution and hill billies, fanned into frenzy iby journalistic contortionists, crowd the court house and threaten marches against county officials. Outsiders following the Jackson county f eudism through its local papers, have derived rare comedyfrom the hy drophobia of the Medford News. But the situation has pass ed from comedy to danger; and the county will be fortunate if it escapes without tragedy. The public mind is tense; it is easy to excite the spirit of the mob. The wilder the rumor, the easier for it to gain credence. And when newspapers merchandise distorted im aginings the public may be, swept off its feet That is the condition of affairs in Jackson. county where trivial inci dents are given an exaggerated importance until primitive f eudism runs riot. ! After a time when th frothing at the mouth stops, and the people have a chance to cool off they will wonder how they were transformed into wild-eyed paranoiacs. The vote for the location of the seat of government, bald at the general election of Jane, 1862, resulted In no choice; that Is. no town received a majority ef all the rotes. Salem got th highest number, 8417. But there were 1121 for Eugene, 1787 for Fort- land and 1028 for Corvallis, with a considerable number ef scatter ing; ballots for other towns. The three principal rivals ef Salem thus together garnered 8724 votes, a margin of 8 IT against a Salem victory, not counting the scattering ballots. - S The 1864 election, called by the 1862 legislature after th can vass ox the results of the first election had been reported to that body, resulted la a majority tor Salem In Baker, Clatsop, Colum bia, Douglas, Josephine, Linn, Marion, Polk, Tillamook, Umatil la and Wasco counties. Portland carried only Clackamas, Multno mah. Washington and Tamhill counties. Eugene carried Coos, Jackson and Lane. Curry county did not vote on the question. Cor vallls lacked 7 rotes of a major ity even of her own county, Ben ton, with 236 for that town, 117 for Salem, 76 for Portland, and 56 for Eugene. Is Baker gave Salem 764 votes, Portland 146, Eugene 20. Clat sop: Salem 78, Portland 1, The Dalles 56. Douglas gave Salem 334. Portland 13, Eugene 220.

Marlon county at that time had a larger population than Multnomah for Marlon cast 1435 votes for congressman that year, against 1242 for Multnomah; an dge of 192 for Marion, meaning nearly 1000 total in favor of Mar lon, for there was only manhood suffrage then. Votes of women were a long way in the future. In that time of large pioneer famil ies, voting population was not more than as one to five for the total. S Interesting now is the list of places receiving the 527 scatter ing votes in the election of 1864, and the number for each. Corval lis garnered 289 rotes, Jackson ville 11, Mt. Hood 4.

Of Old Salem Towa Talks from The Sta tee man of Earlier Days January 11, lOOS It Is ridiculous to think of a prise fight being pulled off in the city hall," said Mayor Rodgers yesterday. "As long as I am may or no city property will be used tor such purposes." As a conse quence, the ten-round boxing match between the Cuban Kid and B. Lynam, scheduled for last night, did not take place. The total Marlon county tax lory will amount to seven and one half mills. It was announced yes terday. The state tax will be 2.24 mills. Coach Paul Schissler agreed to cancel his contract with Oregon State. While it had over three years to run, he will consent te ter minating it June 30th next. It isi a decent settlement or a situation which was baffling OSC athletics. Schissler is getting the raspberry nlentr now: but Schlss save a epod account of himself during his itay at the college. He turned out some splendid teams which won i national honors. This season turned bad on him, so he had to walk ' the r&nz-nlank. Surely Orexon has learned now the folly of signing long-term contracts with coaches. When they want to leave they can usually pull out, contract or ho contract; and when the college wants to change coaches sometimes it gets stuck ior unexpirea contracts. Schissler leaves Oregon State with not a great many friends, not as many as his years of service and his better-than-ave- rage success should have earned for him.

Former CowiwUttionar ef Health, Nev York Ctt DURING THE summer months the health of our people la at Its beet Outdoor life and exercise are largely responsible for this. There are other factors, Including dally bathing; sun bathe, drtak Ing generously of water and par taking of a diet oontalnlng an abundance ef vegetables and fruits. The sim ple rules ef good health are fol lowed durtng the summer months but neglected during the faS and winter. There caa -be no doubt that many persons fall te enjoy health because they are not eut-of- doors enough. They appear te Here that the winter months should be spent Indoors, free from the healthful activities of summer. Mere Food, Lees Exercise Many persona drink half as much water during the winter as they de la summer. Ia cold weather there Is teas persplratlea and the body re oulree leas water, but the nenefldal effects of drinking an abundance ef water must not be overlooked. Water dilutes the body poisons and helps te fiusa the kidneys and Intestines. There are these who avoid dans- baths te the winter because they fear colds. Yet during the summer these same persons bathe deny and are 1 good physical health. ' The seasonal change of habita dees not end with bathing. They eat mere food and take teas exercise during ue winter months. If they tinned . their summer activities throughout the year.

It was he brought us here! It's bis fault so it is. that we're eaught with never a keel under us: trapped like rats tn a gin, and help less at th mercy of Morgan!" He flung out an accusing arm. so that his hand almost struck Monsieur de Bernls in th face. "It's Char ley's doing! Bad cess to him!" With that be thought to destroy de Bernls, aad might hare de stroyed any man less prompt and resolute. As it was, and as he was presently to learn, he merely sup plied de Bernls with a weapon at once defensive and offensive. Before tit rag whbh Wogan fanned in tho wild ruffianly souls could bias forth, ds Bernls was answering- him, and by tone and manner and very words was com pelling attention. wui yon make a scapegoat of me for your own blundering In competence, you lubberly oaf?" He paused upon that question which struck Wogan dumb with amassment and arrested the atten tion of all. Then, with an increas ing vehemence, with a simulation of indignation, he went on te scar ify th Irishman. "If we are helpless as you say, the fault lies between you and that dead cut-throat Tom Leach whose worthy lieutenant you are. If either of you had known anything of your trade, there would be guns em placed on that bluff with which to hare given Morgan a warm wel come." Again he paused, and this time no fear of interruption made him hurry to resume. He knew that what he had said must whet the men's appetite for more. It was something; that leapt to the eye whea uttered. One and all of them must perceive the fore ef It, and, perceiving; this, they would wait for bis amplification of the charge he brought, he, the accused, turned suddenly accuser. "Pardieul Ton eome bleating here to make it seem that I am to blame, you numbskull! Hal Why, you and Tom Leach between you were never fit to command any. thing;, afloat or ashore!

"How do you know that I did not warn him? De you suppose that I did not advise aim t set op earth' works a th bluff there, and Wogan. quivering with fary, interrupted hiss.

"Ifs a Uel Dont be listening to him! He never adrlsed It at all! Ifs a Uel" "Is It?" quoth de Bernls, and now he was actually smiling, tf very grimly. "We will agree it is a lie. We win agree I never warned him; I never told him or you that guns should be emplaeed there." And now bis roice suddenly swelled up, "But aur faith, what were ron doing;, what were you and he doing;, t&as you did not think of it for yourselves? He was the captain and you were his lieutenant Wo gan; and between you lay the re sponsibility for the safety of your men.

But you are alive, and you can an swer. There are your men: the men who, through your carelessness and Incompetent leadership, are now trapped here as ron ear. An swer to them, then! Answer them!" And from the throats of those buccaneers whom de Bernls' indict ment had lashed into sudden fury came in a raucous roar the de mand: "Answer! Answer!" "By Jupiter!" screamed Wogan, In sudden affright to see the storm so swiftly and craftily deflected upon his own head. "Win ye be lis tening; to this liar?

"If ye can invent anything- ssH help us, Charley," cried HelliweO, "well follow you anywhere after this!" And from the men came a rcac of confirmation to encourage d Bernls.

There came from that rfflainous multitude an inarticulate sound such as Is made by a great war against a rock, It was a gasp ex preasive of their incredulity before such an announcement And then, as the sound of It was dying down, a gun boomed from the flagship, te turn them startled towards the eea once more.
