HENDRICKS- i Greetings to Veterans ajv ine opamsn war vets are coming to rown. rney are KJ holding- their 25th encampment here, starting tonight. It is 35 years since "Remember the Maine" ealvanized a na- ' tion to battle for "Cuba Libre". Thirty-five years since Ad- miral Cerveraland the battleship Oregon, and San Juan hill. Thirty-five years since General Shafter and Admiral Samp- son and Teddy Roosevelt. Thirty-five years since mauser Dullets, embalmed beef and typhoid fever. Thirty-five years since Capt. Hobson, Jacksonville, and Admiral Dewey and me second uregon infantry. The Spanish war is one of the vivid memories of our I boyhood in ah Iowa town. We followed each development I from the blowing up of the Maine to the treaty of peace . with tense interest. We recall the meetings following the declaration of war. Civil war veterans made stirring speech es ; one of them was justice of the peace, a one-legged vet eran. Another, J. R. Smith, intensely patriotic, but some-'- what under the ban because he was a free-thinker and a f oi ; lower of Bob ilngersoll, called for enlistments. Then they I would always call up Homer Darrow to play the long roll. He had been a drummer in the civil war; and no one could ever play the! long roll like he could. As was said of Na poleon's drummer boy, he could "make the dead fall into line". Maybe Walter Hall, another veteran, would play his fife; and the martial music would make a boy's blood riot through his veins. We remember the drilling on the town streets till the , men were mustered in, and then off to Chattanooga and Jackson ville and Cuba, or west to the coast and the Philip pines. We remember the celebration on a bright November day when the boys came back from the Philippines; and remember some who didn't come back. We can hear yet the delirious cries of those who were sick to 3eath with typhoid which they brought back from southern camps. All that was 35 years ago. I . In 1893 a Sunday newspaper was a sin; but as usual, piety yielded to patriotism, and the Sunday Burlington ! Hawkey e was obtained to get the latest war news. This 35 years have left their mark. The young men who stepped forth as volunteers are well past middle age now, only a f?w years younger than the Civil War veterans were when their own war memories were stirred in '98. The Spanish war yets went back into civil life. They were too few in number to become as powerful as the old G. A. R. The resistance was so slight and the war so brief that the 600 Glbbs Are Cottar Grove, Ore., July 20, 1921. To the. Editor; United Spanish war veterans are to be the guests of your bean tiful city three days of next week. Inasmuch as certain generals ana admirals have called the boys "thieves" and racketeers" be cause they were on the Pension Rolls, I would like to say a word about them and their service. In justice both to the city of Salem and the veterans themselves. The war with Spain, Philippine Insurrection and China Relief Ex pedition constitute the longest war in our history as a nation, April 1893-1902, and men who fought during. that period have to their credit the longest average war service. The armies were made up of 100 volunteers. The only such army to fight an Amer ican war. They" received $13 a month in the U. S. and $15.60 while in the war' zones. There was no "war risk insurance," no pay for dependents left at home, no bonus, no extra pay, no hospi talization. They suffered the highest mortality of any army in our history. In the first five months 25 out of . every thousand men died. The first pension law for their benefit was in June, 1920. They have never received the same rate of pension as veterans of other wars. Soldiers of this period nev er received more than $60 a month for TOTAL PERMANENT DISABILITY, while veterans of other wars have received $100. As a direct result of the war property worth $8,000,000,000 was brought under the flag. The federal government has received a good annual return as fehown by the annual trade reports, and the great commercial houses and banking interests have made round profits from our INVEST MENTS in those islands. Gen. F. T. Hinea, in a letter to me, under date October 24, 1932, says that Spanish war veterans have receiv ed an average of. about twenty millions a year in pensions. This is about 13 of the average an nual exports from the U. S. to the Philippines and Porto Rico in 1925-2S, and about three eighths of one per cent on the property value of the islands. We invested our health and our lives to make Cuba free and a safe place for American invest ments. Our INVESTMENTS were (at least to us) very real and very material. Reports of surgeon generals show that In the U. S. "fully 80 per cent of the volunteer regi ments contracted typhoid or ma laria within eight weeks after go ing into camp." In Cuba "75 per cent of tne onicers and men are shnw wm AVPr hpfnrp manv of trio hmra f tr. cmoll onamv 1 incapacitated for service because- a i of yellow fever, typhoid, and ma laria." The same condition main- powder. The Spanish war did however mark the end of the Civil war epoch. With the turn of the century new names, new leaders appeared. Swift changes occurred in political or ganization, in mechanics, and in foreign affairs. The Span ish war opened up the era of foreign expansion of American commerce. "Manifest destiny" became the moving force for our foreign policy. Brief though the war was, it has an im portance far beyond its record of military success. It in troduced the United States into world affairs and led to swift growth in our trade, our power and our prestige. The boys of 1898 are the mature men of 1933. And the members of the Oregon encampment are gathering here to 'review the memories of that brief adventure. Embittered many of them are over what they feel is a nation's ingra titude. They must be assured however that this country is not yet so small that it would do unjustly by those who fought its battles. Unfairness to individuals will yet be rec tified. Their service of a quarter century ago has not been forgotten, nor will it be, if those of this generation are worthy of their heritage. Responsibility for the Gambling Age THE administration professes to view with alarm the speculative excesses of stock and commodity markets. Yet such wild speculation dates from the decision of Pres. Roosevelt to abandon the gold standard. Wall street got its cue from the president. When he repudiated the idea of stabilization prices took a fresh whirl upward. Gambling in Wall street? When by official act of the chief executive the dollar is left to "find its own level" what is that but , an open invitation for inflation, and inflation always breeds speculation 7 As this paper has predicted, dollar devaluation became inevitable when the president slapped Europe in the face and refused! to stabilize. A dollar seeking its own level should not be a depreciated dollar, but an appreciated dol ' lar, because trade balances are normally in our favor. The reason the dollar sank to 70c in gold exchanges was due to the flight of capital, in 'anticipation of gold devaluation. This flight. may cease, might even reverse itself, and the! , resulting deflation would be worse than that of last week. In, another respect the responsibility for the outburst of speculation lies with the White house now, even more than it did in the Coolidge-Mellon era. The president has - repeatedly announced his determination to raise prices to ; old-time levels, and has been quoted as mentioning 1924-5. He has violated the laws of classic economics to promote this price ristj. So long as wheat and cotton kept climbing the president was hailed as the new xnessiah. The new deal was acclaimed from coast to coast. But price boosting al ways promotes speculation. -When raw materials like cop per and silver rise in price mining shares boom. When farm products arej scheduled to go back to pre-1929 prices there is an inevitable spurt in prices of farm implement stocks. wnen Doozej comes back by ukase from the administration, there is certain to be a boom in whiskey stocks. Ever since March 4 business has taken its cue from Washington; but when the new deal goes on the rocks, then the naughty, naughty speculators are blamed for the trouble. . This deflation is only temporary. There will be renewed buying and; prices will recover. But let us not scold hout this gambler's age when the chief impulse for the gambling M 11. 1 i . , .... . . cuiues irom me president wno started tne dizzy. drop of trie dollar, ! tained in Porto Rico, in the Phil ippines "The 8th army corps has undergone a complete phy3cal collapse." The great general who heroic ally stepped between them and the people's treasury now draws, after taking a "cut" of 15 ner cent, $18,250 per annum. An ad miral, retired because of a sprain ed ankle, became a national herd by sacrificing himself to tight the powerful pension lobby" and so put men at the doors of local relief agencies of the nation with Congressional and Purple Heart medals on their breasts. He now receives $4,000 a year. These gentlemen have succeeded in hav ing stricken from the Pension Rolls more than 18,000 war wi dows and their children. I carried a "citation" from the war department 34 years after the war was over to one veteran who was. one of 25 to live as the result of a hazardous detail. To tal permanent disability is his rating. His total income hence forth will be $30 a month. A feeble old men came to me the other day with a "Purple Heart" on his vest. He showed me his service records and a letter to the effect that from now on be will receive from a grateful gov ernment $20 a month. He left me in a daze of misunderstanding and humiliation, facing the shame of having to beg for relief. These men are coming, Mr. Ed itor, to Salem. They are coming to forget, if they can, the trege dies of the years. To march again to fife and drum and to feel again the touch of sleeve on sleeve, while memories recall the faces and touch of the buddies of their yesteryears. They will possibly cause nm- where amid the renewed comrade ships of their thankless service given for the Nation's honor to listen to the voice of duty. Duty to loved ones dependent upon them for bread, duties that they woum never want to conflict with the best interests of "the Country that is above all others the most like Heaven." I. O. SHAW, Chaplain, Department of Oregon, United Spanish War Veterans. Salem men at the death of Peopeomoxmoxt' (Continuing from yesterday): Captain Narcisse Cornoyer aim his K company were not through, with their first service, described heretofore, in the Yakima war. On January II, .1858, Governor George I. Curry Issued' an order for the reinllstment of a battery of five companies, to relieve those men who - responded to the first call and who wished to return home the newly organized force to be all mounted. In this new organization, E. J. Harding of Marlon county became captain of A company; B. F. Burch of B company, A. P. An keny of C, John H. Settler of D, and Wm. A. Cason of E. Gover nor Curry added to his order: "It is very desirable that com pany K, acting as scouts, . . . under Command of Captain Cor noyer, should be increased, to its full complement by a recruit of 40 men. For this purpose, addi tional to the battalion, it is re quested that Augustus Dollein, Esq., of Fairfield, Marlon county, will act as enrolling officer, to enroll that number of men." S This order was signed at Sa lem, by Governor Geo. L. Curry, and attested by B. F. Harding, secretary of state. It was a hur ry up order, and the battalion was ready to march toward Walla Walla by the middle of February, But the decision to make the former order for volunteer troops to go to the "Yakima war" had its inception near Butteville, Marlon county. That is rather In terestine: historians have so far generally overlooked the setting "At Home Near Butteville, Oc tober 10. 1855, 10 o'clock P. M Governor Geo. L. Curry dated an urgent letter to his adjutant, Gen. B. M. Barnum. He related that "Major Haller (Granville O. Haller, U. S. A.), who went out with 100 men against the Yakimas, is in a criti cal condition in the Simcoe val lev. belne surrounded by some thousand hostile Indians. He had a fight with them and lost 12 men. They have him nicely 'cor ralled.' He pushed through in the Tiiarhttime an express to Ma- ior Rains (U. S. A.) for help. I understand the major has made a reauisition to me for help. I have not received it, as it prob ablv went to Salem. . . . Haller has lost all his horses and provi sions. . . . This will embolden the Indians, and other tribes will join those already hostilely array' d. and a nrotracted Indian war may not possibly be avoided. should be pleased to see you witn out delay at Portland. 'I go to Oregon City this evening, and to morrow to Portland." How did Geo. L. Curry, gover nor of Oregon, happen at that time to be "at home near Butte ville?" He was born in Philadel phia. Learned the trade of a Jeweler. Had charge of the li brary at Harrisburg in his native state, and wrote poetry, etc. Pub lished a paper at St. Louis, Mo. Came to Oregon across. the plains in 1846. Was editor of the first newspaper on this coast, the Ore gon Spectator at Oregon City. Then published his own paper there, the Free Press. Was in the provisional government legis lature of 1848. Was one of the commissioners to get funds for the Cayuse war after the Whit man massacre, Jesse Applegate and A. L. Love joy being the oth er members. Was in 1849 the first postmas ter of Oregon City, the others in Oregon then being John Adair at Astoria, F. Smith at Portland, J. B. McClane at Salem, J. C. Avery at Corvallis, Jesse Applegate at Yoncalla, and S. F. Chadwlck at ScottsburK. When Joe Lane, Oregon's first territorial governor, arrived in 1849, and went away to attend to Indian troubles, he left Curry as actlnr covernor. He was clerk.ot the provisional government legis lator of 1848-9: cmei cierx oi the territorial council (senate) of 1850-51. President Pierce maoe him secretary of state in 1853. He became governor when Lane resigned. He was appointed gov ernor bv Pierce; was the last ter- cc PREMIERE ft n ROBERT TERRY Bv SHANNON ritortal governor; ( to 'St. Curry county was named f or him. He died , tn Portland July It, 1878. How did he happen to be "at home near Butteville?" A letter of June 30 from Nellie B. Pipe of the Oregon Historical society. reaaB: Perhaps the following notes which I took from some letters of George and A. D. Boone may clear up the point of Curry's residence referred to in your letter of yesterday: The Boone family came to Oregon in 1848 and bought a plaee from a man named Ladd six miles below Butteville. Alphonse Boone, the father of Chloe Curry, went to the mines in 1849, and the Currys (who had been mar ried in 1348) went to live on the place to keep it from being jumped. Alphonse Boone died in California in the winter of 1849 50. Boone's ferry was started by Chloe's brothers, A. D. and Jesse, a mile above the Curry home." That seems clear. The gover nor was "at home near Butte ville" on the farm of Mrs. Curry's people when the hurry-up call came to send the first volunteer troops from Oregon to the Yaki ma war. Boone's ferry Is now the WI1 sonvllle ferry. One of the own ers of that ferry, a brother of Chloe Boone-Curry, wife of the governor, was, in the pioneer per iod, killed by a man named En gel or a similar name, and the affair made a lasting Impression upon the people of the vicinity. S W S The records indicate that the Currys had also a home in Salem at the time the two calls tor troops were made to fight the Yakima war. Dr. W. H. WHlson, the town site proprietor, transferred to Geo. L. Curry by deed recorded June 8, 1855, lot 6 ih block 22, Salem. That is the second lot from the northeast corner of Court and Liberty streets. The consideration la the deed was $250. On December 18, 1858, there was recorded a deed by the Cur rys to Isaac R. Moores conveying the same lot, and the considers tion was given at $1000. As there was no boom In pro perty prices in the period, it is evident that the lot had been im proved, and the inference is that the home of the Currys was there, That property went by deed from Moores to R. M. Wade in 1866; from Wade to T. L. David son in 1902, and from Davidson to R. E. Lee Stelner in 1903. It soon thereafter went to the Elks lodge and the Woodmen of -the World, and became the site of the .old fraternal temple. Part of the lot is now owned by W. W. Uoore and part by Hawkins & Roberts On the part owned by Moore the Golden Rule store stands. e If that was not. the governor's residence in the fifties, the writ er would like to learn the facts In those years, the governor's of fice was in the Holman building, northwest corner of Commercial and Ferry, where the legislature also met and other state offices were housed; still standing. The word to Governor Curry, concerning the "coralled" condl tion of Major Haller, came from Orlando Humason of The Dalles and Humason told the governor he was not waiting for his order, but was speeding to Haller's re lief with his company. Clara Humason, who became the wife of Supreme Judge John B. Waldo, son of the original Dan Waldo of the '4S Applegate cov ered wagon train, was a member of that family. Governor Curry belonged to the famous "Salem clique" In the Orejron politics of those old days: was a great friend of Hon. Asahel Bush, owner and editor of The Statesman, then called the "Ore gon Bible." . , SYNOPSIS : Atteadims the areBsiere ef Iter latest saotiea picture, beaatifal Lent Laaeska. the star, Is-eea-fremted ky a shabby, ariatrd, am, whe esaerrea frees tae erewd crying.

She refuses bat he says he will wait for her te think it ever. CHAPTER FIVE With the return of Lent to the box, Cavanaugh lost all interest in the story unfolding on the screen. Gates had moved over to the seat next the rail and was sitting utterly quiet with his head dropped slightly forward. The fragrance of Leni's perfume preceded her into the box. Without removing her cloak, aha sank into the inside chair beside Gates. Cavanaugh was so close to her that he could easily have reached out and touched her shoulder. - The color had not come back to her face; be sensed the painful beating of her heart. When she leaned toward Gates, Cavanaugh heard her disjointed utterance. M. . . If I marry you ... no mat ter what scandal ... protect me from the whole world I Douglas . . She waited for an answer, but none came. The squareness had left the mans shoulders; he was re laxed and a trifle rounded. His breathing was deep and steady. This was the greatest Ironic trag edy that ever happened to Leni Luneska. A man had drowsed away in the midst of his wooing. Tears formed in her eyes aad one of them glistened on her cheek. Of the four thousand people. in the theater. Lucky Cavanaugh was the only one to see and to under stand. Slowly his hand reached for ward and grasped one of hers' in the darkness. His grip was warm firm young. I Leni did not know whose hand "I detest these pathetic and appealing roles," try te protect me . Leni stated. "And deat Almost immediately she ceased to be unstrung. Like all people who have reached a mountain peak she had virtually expended herself in the effort. Star dom and exhaustion were synony mous and now the return of Karl Krager! Life, at last, had succeeded in wringing tears from her. The strong hand holding her own seemed, at this moment, her only grasp on safety. "I will go with you," she said. She made the statement as though she were about to leap off a precipice as though it were sheer madness. One of the side doors of the the ater had been opened for ventila tion. Cavanaugh, with his hand under Leni Luneska's elbow, stepped out into the feeble light of a concreted areaway between the buildings.

"Well do anything yon want to door behind this box Is open," Lucky Cavanaugh leaned forward and said in a low voice. "Let's slip outside and get a breath of air." And all the while on the screen, Leni Luneska was smiling and laughing. But it was quite a dif ferent story in the box.

They had strolled along the area- way to the end and were forced to retrace their steps along the sweat ing concrete. The air was close with the smell of buildings a dank con tradiction of the buoyancy in Cava naugh's breast. "How long before you want te go Back inside?" he asked abruptly. "I don't want to go back at aU but I must," said Leni. "All I needed was a cigarette and a breath of air." But Cavanaugh detected the hol lowness in her words. "You are not going back yet," he told her succinctly. "I wouldn't con sider taking you back under a half hour, at least. You are still a very beautiful but groggy young lady." Leni raised defiant eyebrows. "I detest these -pathetie and ap pealing roles," she stated. "And dont try to protect me. Yon are a nice man but dont spoil It. Yoa caught me off guard for a minute. That does not mean I have placed my life in your hands." Cavanaugh had heard many peo ple talk with a curdle of aggres siveness in their voices. They had never impressed him as being se cure. But he was not certain now whether Leni Luneska was finding her lost poise, or whether she was stni acting. "Whatever made you think I wanted to protect you?" he asked her lightly. "Dont you?" "Only against every man ex cept myself." "Yoa are like all the ethers, then?" "Only more so." Leni sighed. "I suppose I shall have to put up with you." Her small hand inside his arm pressed slightly. "You're a nice man. I think I shall know yoa better." "Positively," Cavanaugh assured her. T B Coatfaraed) CyrWW. 1M2, br Kofcert Trr Amn Pwtnstca r Sine Peatercs SyaOKau.
