The library board baa voted
to decline tbe otter of Andrew

a library building la Salem. It
Is felt that sum la not enough
to construct an adequate build

CHICAGO. An attempt of tbe
socialists to briny about a "march

two sharp fights with the police
in which the would-be marchers
were routed after a number had
been clubbed.
Defeatism
ONE needs only to attend a few sessions of the legislature
or sit in on some of the hearings or circulate around in
the lobby to sense the defeatism which prevails. The legis
lature appears to be a congregation of cowardice rather than
courage. The' atmosphere of defeat and despondency is so
overwhelming that we suspect some of the politicians are
...scheming on trading the state back to the Indians.
This, malaria of surrender is deadly. Senators and rep
resentatives slink about as though expecting" commitment to
a hospital. Even" those who came with some hope and faith
seem to have caught the contagion.
Hearings become wailing walls for representatives of
group interests. Each group seeks to outdo the other in
meanings as to its own bankruptcy. Legislating develops into
a race for shifting burdens of government to some other
class or group.
Oregon, "land of the empire builders" thus appears to
be inhabited by pygmies. Where is the heroism with which
this state presumably was founded? Our wagon train is in
the desert of difficulty, and the well-nigh unanimous cry is
just to sink down and perish in the sands. The blood of the
founders has been diluted to an anemic fluid that pales the
faces of those presumed to be leaders.
WASHINGTON. Chairman
Tawney. of the appropriations
committe, warned the house yes
terday that the country was con
fronted with a 10 o.ooo.o ot d ta
cit unless estimates for the next
fiscal year should be cut down
materially. His w amine was seis
ed noon by Underwood as the
text for a lengthly address con
corning the recent depression.

If the resolutions adopted by

of public officials will be de
creased 25 per cent and no pub
lic servant will receive a salary
of over 15000. Furthermore the
University of Oregon and agri
cultural college will be required
to support themselves out of the
revenues of the present millage
tax entirely.

say that working people did not object to a sales tax on
gasoline because they could see that the gas tax was expend
ed on roads for them to drive on. But cannot working people
and everybody else see that schools are for their children,
fire and police departments for their protection, and courts
for the defense of their civil rights? And-aksw-can these
functions be maintained without taxation? And how should
they be maintained save by taxation imposed with due re
gard to ability to pay?
The Statesman denounces the atmosphere of defeatism
that has gripped the legislature and is fast spreading out
over the state. We deny that Oregon is licked. We refuse to
let the Oregon legislature run up the white flag and adver
tise to the world that we are going to welch on our debts,
going to revert to primitive peasantry, going to capitulate
to hard times.
It is a time for faith and action not for surrender; a
time undoubtedly for readjustment and strategic retreat but
not for relinquishing the field like quitters. We listen for
seme clarion call, for some heroic voice lifted to give cour
age to the people of the state. Such a call would be a chal
lenge to effort and renewed endeavor. That way lies our
salvation.

Oregon's many capitols:
Dating back to beginnings:
In capitols Oregon has been
singularly rich; dating from her
wilderness daya when this was a
no man's land, and the period of
joint occupancy, and her status
after the first missionaries came,
and while she was a territory, and
after she became a state. This
writer has attempted to trace the
capitols, with those results, sub
ject to corrections, if any:

1805-0: Old Fort Clatsop, camp
of Lewis and Clark. '
1811: Beginning April lt Fort

pancy after Oct. 6, 1818, but still
under the North West company.
1821: Fort Astoria, but under
the Hudson's Bay company, with
whleh the North West company
was merged, that year; and up to
1824.
1324: Fort Vancouver, under
the Hudson's Bay company.
1834: After the coming of Ja
son Lee to the first mission site,
10 miles below Chemeketa. the
present Salem, authority was di
vided. There were two capitols,
the Mission on the Willamette
and the Fort on the Columbia.

secretary's official record, "at the
American Mission House," a full
set ot officers was chosen, with
Dr. Ira u. Babcock supreme
judge, with probate powers, to act
under the laws of New York. A
committee to frame a constitution
and formulate laws was chosen, to
meet Tuesday, June 1, at the

CHAPTER FIVB
Look here Just take this on. I
don't want to bo fooled about any
longer."
Wolfe danced at Threadgold.
The little man's face looked pink
and suffused. His eyes were bis;
behind his rlasses.
"If yon care to let my assistant

"Yes. I do.
"Very well, sir, very well I have
nothinr more to say.
Threadgold pivoted round on one
check-patterned leg, strutted to the
hesxthrur, pulled the lapels of his
coat forward, and stood with chest
expanded.
In five minutes Wolfe had Sir
George Griggs stretched upon the
sofa. Tho surgeon had taken off his
left boot and was sitting on the
edsre of the sofa with his heel in
tbe baronet's armpit.
"I shall have to hurt yon badly
for about ten seconds, sir.
"Go on. I'm not a baby."
"Catch hold of Mr. Ruston's hand.
Nothing- Uko something- to grip.
Now. hold on."
There was a moment of writhing,
of grim, clenched anguish as Wolfe
nulled at the arm and worked at
the dislocated shoulder.
"In. That's good."
"What all over!"
"Yea."
The big man lay on the sofa and
panted, while Mr. Ruston flapped
hia hand.
"I aay, that was a twister!"
"God you gave me a squeezing."
"Get me a peg, someone; ifs
made me feel pretty funny."
He was sweating. Dr. Threadgold
turned and rana; the beu.
"Head of the bone was out, was
tit-
Tee. If you can ait up in a min
ute, sir. 111 Just see that everything
is an right"
Sir George sat up readily enough
while Wolfe manipulated the left
arm vary gently and made sure
that tho head of the bone was back
in Its normal position.
"Yes, that s all right, sir."
"Sykes, a glass of brandy and
water."
lit 'k
"I shall have te hart yon badly for about ten seconds," said Dr. Wolfe,
as ho grasped tho dislocated shoulder of Sir George Griggs.
Dr. Threadgold lingered at the
door.
"I say, air, I am confoundedly
obliged to yon."
Wolfe smCed.
"Oh, that's all part of tho cam
paign. I shall hare to tie yon up to
keep that shoulder quiet. What
about your forehead 7
"A little gTa veiling. Isnt it?"
Tea, nothing serious, m wash
it, and patch yon up with a bit of
plaster. By the way, though"
He remembered suddenly that he
was in Dr. Tbreadgold'a consulting-
room, and that a hot and rather
humiliated little man was fidgeting
on the hearthrug.
"Dr. Threadgold will teu you
what precautions yon onght to
take."
"Oh, all right," said the baronet,
gulping brandy and water.
Half an hour later Mr. Boston
was driving Sir George Griggs
homeward in his gig. It was still
raining hard, and the wet streets
of Navestoek were deserted. The
big man had so far recovered him
self that he was able to see the
humour of much that had passed.
"What a confounded old woman!
I always knew Threadgold was a
duffer. I wouldn't have come within
a mile of him only I knew Odgers
of Hinkley was in London."
"Well, that other chap"
"Jove, that's the sort of man for
me. Plenty of grip there. I cant
stand these counter-bouncing little
beasts like Threadgold. He's only
fit to slosh people with treacle and
water."
"Mrs. T. ought to run the prac
tice."
"Sophia Pudson dont, my dear
chap, dont! That woman's face al
ways acts on me like an emetic.
You should hear old Johnson's par
rot next door shouting 'Monte,
Monte,' all day in summer. A man
like Threadgold ought to be shot
for marrying such a woman."
And the gig, with ita lamps flar
ing through the rain, rolled out of
South Street into-tho wet night.
At Prospect House Wolfe eat on

smoking a 'day pipe. There had
been a alight scene after Sir
George's departure. Dr. Montagus
Threadgold had got upon his dig
nity and spoken with some beat.
"Mr. Wolfe, sir. I reproach my.
self with having allowed you to be
have with such rashness. A swollen
joint like that onght to be treated
with the eztremest caution."
Wolfe had a big heart and no
pettiness. He was rather sorry for
Dr. Threadgold.
"Well, sir, I felt convinced "
"When you are a little older, Mr.
Wolfe, you win not be convinced so
easily. Experience teaches a doctor
to be cautious."
Dr. Threadgold retired te the
drawing-room, where his wife was
sitting before the fire. Tho faint
tinkle of a piano came from the
next house, and the mellow piping
of a flute. The Misses Johnson and
the Rev. Charles Chipperton of St.
Jude's were playing old Johnson,
the wine merchant, to sleep.
Mrs. Threadgold looked up with
one of her expressionless smiles. If
you could ascribe any colour to
smiles, Mrs. Threadgold's resem
bled the yellowish wool in her lap.
"Everything quite successful,
Montague?"
"Most successful, my dear."
"A serious accident 1"
"Dislocated shoulder. Mr. Wolfe
and I reduced it."
Mrs. Threadgold.looked gratified.
"I thought the young man ought
to profit by yoar'experience, Mon
tague, aoSent him after you."
"Ezaetly, my dear, exactly."
-''Rather a raw young man, and
very ugly, but I have no doubt that
you wiU polish him and improve his
manners."
Dr. Threadgold poked the fire
rather testily.
"Mr. Wolfe," he said, "seems to
be a young man of some ability.
But a little forward, a little in
