now sit up and recite the famous "cross of gold" speech.
A gallant band fighting to preserve "the good name -of
the American dollar, fighting to preserve the moral integ
rity of the American nation, and to preserve the honor of
this country's promise on its bond, has gone down to defeat.

This,pot-pouri of legislation, which embraces revolu
tionary ideas for-restoring prosperity to agriculture, infla
tionary proposals"; which threaten the soundness of the
American dollar, is another "noble experiment" only on a
scale far more vast than prohibition. .
- It islmere spitting against the wind to protest the pas
sage of such 'an omnibus bill, anil the vesting of such great
Eowers over the lives and fortunes of the people in the
ands of one man. Yet earnestly as we pray for the restora
tion of good times in this country, we cannot endorse any
such legislation either in its scope or in its content We are
not worried over its revolutionary nature; but over its
threat of disaster to the American people.
Abolishing the Federal Employment Service
THE new deal calls for abolition of the federal employ
ment service." Miss Perkins, the new secretary of labor,
condemns the service as "too unsatisfactory to warrant its
continuance". She was the greatest critic of the administra
tion of her predecessor, Mr. Doak, so it is not surprising that
she would want to reorganize the department from top to
bottom. It is however rather startling for her to abolish the
whole service on the -basis of her statement:
That the direct operation of public employment offices la
test done by state and local governments. .
"That the. function of the federal government la to assist
"state and local governments to develop and maintain and expand . !
adequate employment services frith high standards and common -procedures
and to "veld them together Into an effective and na
tionwide system." : ;
While running the -employment exchanges may be
strictly a local function, so sloW have communities, been in
providing adequate offices to handle the work that we fear

will close. Here in Salem the employment office was sup-
ported largely by4 federal funds. They were cut of f a short
time ago ; but the manager has continued temporarily in ex
pectation of renewal of the federal grant of $110 a month,
lie cannot continue indefinitely on the $50 a month supplied
by the city and county; and these branches cannot increase
their budget allowances for this cause during the year. .

labor. To close it would be-a great calamity. It seems strange
that when the government is increasing its appropriations
for doles, it should at the same time cancel its small grant
for the employment service which does a great deal to make
the dole, unnecessary.: v , ' J . "
;i l A lot of people will never be satisfied with mere beer, not
because of its low alcoholic content, bat because of its pleblan char
acter. There are class lines In liquors as well as ladies' dresses. The
spelling; of on word tells the story; riikker'. "liquor";, and "li
queur". To those outside the hopvlne aristocracy beer la very com
mon; they call it "slop". Wine has long been the gentlemen's drink;
and champagne of course stands at the top of the social register.
Herein lies one reason why the wets will not be satisfied with mere
beer. , :- i-v- v:v.'- - -.i:-- .V

SYNOPSIS
We taxor moonlight saying. While this is not a night-owl town
there are many people .who nse the streets during the hours from
12:30 to daylight. And there is need of illumination tor their safe
ty and convenience in traversing the streets. The need -for lights
would be particularly great on foggy nights when the street light
is about the only means or keeping one's bearings. On nights when
the moon is shining there Is scant need for artificial Illumination.
Let's stick with 'moonshine during the economy days.

CHAPTER XXVII
It snowed all day on Tuesday, the
.last of December. The ground was
covered with a blanket several inches
thick, and there' were powder-puffs
of feathery snow on the - electric
light globes that hung on either side
ef the entrance to -the apartment
house. : , -
All day Mary Faith had felt tired
and drowsy. All day, in obedience
to some blind law of nature, she had
taken little naps, sitting is her chair
beside the dining-room tabled as if
she were preparing herself for some
great ordeal - :
"Well, everything is in order now
for the baby," Mrs. Farrell said, to
her late that afternoon when the
street lamps were beginning to flash
their light out into the pearly winter
dusk. "Even the little bed's all made
np, isn't. it?"
"A year ago today Kim and
were down in Garrettsville," Mary
Faith murmured. "I remember we
took a walk in the afternoon and
there were a lot of little lads coast
ing down the hill near Aunt Ella's
house. I didn't dream then that I'd
be having a little baby of my
so soon. . . .
She stopped, and a look of amaze
ment and pain swept across het face.
Hanging on to the edge of the table
she pulled herself to her feet. She
was halfway to. the door of the room
when another , pain ran over her
body like a sheet of flame. . . .
- She heard Mrs. Farrell's voice be
hind her, "Where are you going,
Mary Faithr .
She tried to answer her bnt she
couldn't make a sound. . . . She knew
where she was going. She was going
to the telephone to call up Kim and
tell him that he mdst come to her
just as soon as he could. ...
-Then she saw the marks on' the
wall of the hallway where the tele
phone box had been. The black
twisted wires still stuck put from
the plaster, like the roots of burnt
trees. ... She had forgotten that the
telephone had been taken away.
"You're in ' pain, Mary Faith,
aren't you?" she heard Mrs. Farrell's
voice above the sound in her ears
that mi like a great flood of waters
rushing past her. "Ill run in next
door and call Dr. Thatcher Oh, my
dear Lord I T
Darkness closed over Mary Faith.
She knew cvaguely that someone
lifted her to a bed presently. And
later on she heard a voice, hoarse
with agony, shrieking for Kimand
never knew that it was her owa
voice. She only knew that the wo
man who was calling was in terrible
agony. Then a sweetish, sickening
smell was in her nostrils and she
knew nothing more. ...
A Eght was shining m her eyes
when she opened them. At first she
thought she was looking straight
into the sua, and then she saw that
it was her own little yellow-shaded
bed lamp. She was in her own
room, in her own, bed. She could
feel the pillow, soft and cool, against
her cheek. She ached all over and
she was too tired to move or speak.
She closed her eyes again.
Then aa at once, someone was
bending over her. A man's deep
voice was saying, "Are you awake,
Mrs. Farrell r" '..--'
She looked np. Dc Thatcher was
bending over her and beside him
stood Kim s mother. She was hold
ing a small white bundle in her
arms, and as Mary Faith tried to eft
herself from her pillows, Mrs. Far
reQ laid it down beside her.
Turning her head, Mary Faith
looked at the baby. Here was her
love for Kim in the flesh the little
soft body, tender as flower petals
and warm as life itself. One hand
was curled up tight against the tittle
face, like a tmy pink scasheu.
"Well, there's your son, Mrs. Far
rell born lust as the bells we
ringing in the New Year. What do
you think of him?" Dr. Thatcher
asked ia bis brisk hearty way. He
backed away from the bed, and be
yond him in the shadowy doorway
Mary Faith saw Kim. 1
Kim! , ; . He came toward her and
there was a white stony look on his
face. : He stood beside the bed and
suddenly she saw tears spring into
his eyes.
"Don't, Kim." She held her hand
out to him. ; "Don t, dearest. . . .
Everything's all right"
He knelt down beside her, bury
ing his face in the pillows close to
hers. So close that she could smell
the faint dry scent of his blond hair.
"Your hair it always smells like
birch bark," she murmured weakly
and foolishly, and began to cry be
cause she was so happy.
By the middle of February Mary
Faith was on her feet again and
not only on her feet but on the very
tips of her toes, more eager for life
and work and happiness than she
had ever been before.
The days were all too short now
although she got up at six o'clock
every morning when the baby stirred
in his little bed and began to shout
for his bottle in a voice that to her
was the most beautiful sound that
was ever heard. v
"Listen to our son and his little
hunger-song," she would say to Kim
as she slipped out of bed and hur
ried into the kitchen to warm the
first tittle six-ounce bottle of the
day. He s going to be - a grand
opera singer some day, and don t I
knowitt" .
"Or a radio announcer, at least.'
Kim would answer drowsily and
good-naturedly. He was as proud of
the baby as Mary. Faith was. Some
times when she came back from the
kitchen she would find him bending
pver the little bed,' touching the
baby's cheeks with one of his big
fingers and talking to him in a gruff
man-to-man way.
"Shut up or 111 bust you one on
the beezer hear me?" he would say.
"You make as much noise as a fire
whistle. Cut it out -
Every night Kim came home be
tween five and six so that he could
see Mary Faith bathe the boy and
tuck him into the warm blankets of
his bed. '
. On Easter Saturday he brought
home a chocolate rabbit for him, to
I the enormous amusement of Mary
Faith and the horror W Mrs. Farrell.'
And he bundled , him up aad took
him tor an airing on the seat of tus -
car.- .- ' r; '
"Our life is Just the way I always ;
pictured it," Mary. Faith said to bins,
that night as they sat ia- the living .
a waiting for the Maldons to.
come over and play " bridge with
them. "Long before we were mar
ried I used to dream of the -time
when .we'd have a home aad a baby
and friends to come ia to spend' the
evening with us once ia a while-
and now if s all come true " ' "
"You'd better rap oa wood." Mrs. ;
Farrell spoke up from her chair be
side' the window. "I always think
it's tempting Providence to tell your-,
self bow lucky, you are." - .
Vary Faith toughed. "You're
worse than a rainy day. Mother Far .
rell," she said cheerfully. "Kim and
have had au our bad luck." '
She got up and sat oa the arm of
his chair, rumpling up his hair and
twisting it ' somehow so that he
looked utterly unlike himself for a
second.
"Haveat we had all our bad luck
and alt our bad times?" she asked
him, her arms around him. "Haveat t
we come out oa the sunny side, and
aren't we most- - terribly frightfully
happy?" She kissed hua between
each word aad he looked as If he
liked it ' .
They were aa much ia love with
each other these days as they had
beea during the first year of. their
engagement, when Kira had wanted -no
one but her. . v -.
He wanted no one but her now.
Sometimes the Maldons called up
and said that they were coming over
to play a few hands of bridge and he
would frown aad look gloomy when
Mary Faith announced the news to
him.
"Why don't they stay at home
once ia a while be would ask.
Gosh, I never saw such a pair as
those two birds! In all the time I
stayed at their house I never knew
them to spend a quiet evening. They
were always calling somebody up to
come pver and make hoopla with
them or getting dressed to go to
somebody s house for the evening or
to go to some place and dance and
have dinner. . . It was Claire's
fault Jack's pretty quiet and steady.
She drags him around after her ilke
a kid with a Teddy bear."
The Maldons never made much
"hoopla" when they came to the flat
to spend the' evening. For one thing
the baby was asleep and they had to
keep quiet And for another Mrs.
Farrell always sat in the room and
looked over the evening paper while
the other four played cards, frown
ing at them every now and then.
I don t care very much for that
Maldon gjri," she told Mary Faith
the morning after one of the Mai- .
dons visits. "She gives me the jit
ters, the way she's always wriggling
her shoulders and singing under her
breath. . . . And I wonder if she
thinks her face looks pretty, all
painted up like a signboard I No, 1
don't like her."
About a week later Claire popped
ia one afternoon on her way home
from downtown. "Popped in" was
the only way to describe the way
she came rushing into the flat with
her bracelets jingling and the white
tipped tails of her silver fox scarf
swaying.
"I can't stay two minutes," she
said breathlessly. "I just wanted to
bring the baby in a little present
It's a cup and I have his name en
graved on it There's been enough
argument about naming him so his
Aunt Claire just settled it by having
'Kim' put on the cup."

Pioneer liquor fights:
Beale and Baker sentence:
1e
In his contribution In this col
umn on Tuesday. C. . B. Wood-
worth said: "Memory recalls
nerhans not correctly that . the
sentencing of Beale and Baker for
the murder-of Delaney took place
in tnis opera house. It was plan
ned t "create a panic by announe
lnxi la. some- war that the onera
house wasunsafe,' and while the
panic was oa to permit the pris
oners to e aae. The nanle Dart
worked ; ne; woman -fainted,
which added to the trouble, but
tne prisoners did not get away;
were . sentenced and hanged."
The writer1 Inaulredr "Can anv
reader explain why the sentenc
ing of Beale -and Baker (If so it
was) was in that (building?"
(Meaning the Griswold onerm
house, which was In the Griswold
block, still standing at the south
west corner ot Commercial and
State streets, and now called the
Murphy block, and that being the
first well arranged theatre tn Ra
le m.) ... . - ..'
- - -. -
Several persona have resnonded
to the inanlrr. One lonr tlm re.
ident suggests that the tradition
is not xounaed on fact; that the
sentence wag pronounced In the
old court house. But the recollec
tion of R. P. Boise of Salem Is
that the memory of Mr. Wood
worth serves him reliablv. TTon
R. P. Boise, the ables and longest
in service on supreme and elreuit
court benches of Oregon pioneer
Jurists, tried the Beale and Baker
case, . being at the time circuit
Judge of the district made up-of
several counties of which Marion
was one. He'waa the father of R.
P. Boise, who added Junior to his
name while the pioneer Judge
lived. Mr. Boise was a small boy
in 1865, but his memory from
hearsay funa like this:

The verdict was rendered March
IS, 118$. The execution waa on
the following May 17th. The par
ticulars, many ot them, have been
told in this column. Some more
are yet to follow, at some future
date.

at the time ef the sentencing;

The attorneys had been sug
gesting! during the week, that a
stronger building, and a larger
room than the one. In, the old
building, should be provided for
the' time of sentencing the mur
derers. So Judge Boise heeded
the suggestions. There was a
great crowd, and, as Mr. Wood
worth recalled, a woman fainted

But - the Griswold block " was
built strong, and there was no
danger ot its collapse, with all the
people crowded Into the theatre
who could be Jammed together
there. That was the sort ot crowd
present when the sentence was
passed. . - w .

The principal buildings erected
la Salem in the period, from the
fifties to the time when concrete
came into general use, . la the
eighties and nineties, as a rule
contained . good brick, and they
had (and most ot them still have)
basaltic rock foundations, from
near where the penitentiary an
nex to now, out Turner way, or
from aerosg the river beyond West
Salem. The principal brick yard
was that of John Baker, on the
Garden road, near where Kay
park to now. He was the grandfa
ther ot "Rare" Bonham, now and
for a long time In the immigra
tion service of the United States,
with his headquarters, la Port
land. If It can be shown that the tra
dition mentioned by Mr. Wood
worth, and confirmed by the mem
ory of Mr. Boise, is not a correct
one, the writer will be glad to
give this part of the long famous
case further space In this column.
