They made an effort to control the legitimized trade in 32 beer; but they will not be able to hold power. Turning to kidnaping many of them have been outwitted and caught. The capture of the kidnapers of Charles Urschel was a great victory for the forces of law. The recent out breaks of crime in the southwest are drawing swift retri bution. Now sleuths are working on the trail of some of these mid western outlaws in the belief that they may have been the ones to steal the Lindbergh infant. This country will never be satisfied until those men are tracked down. With out a doubt the law enforcement agencies will work on this case relentlessly, though the clues to work from are meagre. One element of strength in the round-up of the major criminals is the activity of the federal government. Hither to the federal operatives have not paid much attention to mere murders, confining their efforts to suppress counter feiting and dope-peddling. Now they are being stirred to action against kidnapers and gangsters; and their help should be potent in cleaning out the villains. Organized crime reached a position where it was suck ing the life blood of the country. What was needed was hon esty and intelligence and courage in law enforcement. Too often these men worked with the bought-and-paid-for pro tection from police and prosecuting attorneys. An aroused public sentiment is forcing action. When there is active co operation from federal authorities down through state and city police departments then the threat of crime against society may be ended. Snooping and Sniping mHE Capital Journal very piously exhorts the public to j X stop "snooping" on the president : "It Is about time that the snooping on Roosevelt that what he is attempting to do bo appreciated." The Journal is condemning the Baltimore Sun for crit icising the NRA, We .were not aware that snooping had gotten under way, or sniping either. But the admonition might come with better grace from a paper whose record for sniping had not made it so vulnerable. Did th Capital-Journal desist from sniping Hoover through his four years? Did it call on the public to cease snooping on Hoover, when, for example. he sought to enforce prohibition? Did it ask for any appre ciation on what Hoover tried to do through three harrow ing years? . There should be no partisan snooping on Pres. Roose velt, and no sniping. But his ideas, his proposals and his methods should be subjected to constant and honest appraisal and criticism. There has been if anything too general an ab dication of leadership on the part of the opposition. Loyal ty to the president should not mean the forfeiture of right j to think. cease. Extra Session Looms WHILE an extra session of the legislature seems certain due to conditions which have arisen since the close of the last session, it would seem advisable to await the de cision of the supreme court in the motor truck case. That should be coming down within six months; and unless pro vision for relief appropriations is too urgent, the special ses sion should be delayed. If the Levelling decision is upheld then new legislation will be needed immediately for motor truck regulation. There should be time for further consideration of liquor control legislation. The commission is now at work; and should have time to work out some definite policy which will conserve the cause of temperance in the best manner possible, lacking prohibition. It is expected that 36 states will ratify the 18th amend ment by the close of the year. Then state legislation will be needed or there will be loosened a flood of legal liquor. All in all December or January woud seem a good date for the special session, if adequate provision for relief work can be made in the interval. v - - - r . ..... ... -. , - - 553 "' "Sr?f sSr HEALTH v Royal S.

HENDRICKS' - Farmers are complaining, with justice, that NRA works back' ward for them. Batterfat is declining in price at a season when It should, ho. increasing. Eggs are not bringing in much. Fruit prices are low. Ia this area comparatively little wheat is grown on which a bounty is paid. Meantime NRA is resulting in higher prices for goods the farmers purchase. When will national leaders learn that intense economic nationalism is strangling the farmers, who are for I tne most part, producers or surpluses tor export? An official of the Portland General Electrle company Is quoted as saying that, his company now is confronted with an aggregate of taxes which equals, dollar for' dollar, the amount of the company's payrbjl. Of coarse rates could come down if taxes were wiped out. But uader the tax system, the public has worked out a plan of get ting the first drag on profits of utilities, without any of the re sponsibilities of financing and operation. Why doesn't that beat pub lic ownership? i Using a liquor tax to finance relief is an idea advanced by Portland legislators. The more booze people drink, the more tax revenues would come In; but the more they drink, the greater the destitution and need of relief. That cycle would be unique: the tax tne looser pays would provide relief for his wife and kids. TO TAKS stock or ourselves once In a While Is a good thing o do. No doubt many of you suffer from cer tain disorders yet yeu pay little at tention to them. If you have no pain or marked discomfort, you never think of your body. This is unwise. Many ailments are painless yet when neglected they d o ;;reat damage to the body. Attended to at the proper time they are gotten rid of, s they should be.

Severe cases may last all the year. The sufferer from chronlo bron chttla has difficulty ia breathing. He complains of shortness of breath " upon the slightest exertion. There Is a constant wheezing la the chest and the patient Is made uncemfertable by a hacking and persistent cough. Spasmodic attacks of coughing Is a common complaint In this annoy ing disorder.

Death ot Mattie Gilbert Palmer, early Salem pioneer: S There comes, to the desk of the1 writer a clipping from a West Los Angeles, California, newspaper of July 21; an article giving an ac count of the funeral of an early and well known pioneer resident of Salem. It reads: "Funeral serrices for Mrs. Mat tie Gilbert Palmer, who died Mon day following a fall at her home in West Los Angeles, were held Wednesday afternoon at the Price Daniel mortuary. "Mrs. Palmer fell from her porch at her home at 1783 Pur due avenue and was badly injured Monday morning. She was taken to the Santa Monica hospital and died shortly afterwards. "The funeral rites were in charge of the Rev. Wesley Good son Nicholson, pastor of the West- wood Congregational church of which Mrs. Palmer was a member. Cremation was at the Inglewood cemetery. "Mrs. Palmer was, SI years ot age when she died and had lived in this district for a number of years.

It was a cheery letter, full of quips about mutual recollections of the old days in Salem. They had been neighbors and friends over a long period. S It seems thst Mrs. Palmer, on account of a weak heart, could not endure the anaesthetic necessary to be administered at the hospital after her fall. U In a series in this column last fall, giving a history ot the First Congregational church of Salem, second oldest in the capital city. much was said concerning the life and work of Mrs. Palmer. She was Mattie Gilbert to her wide circle of friends in old time Salem. She was present when the Salem church was organized, a babe in arms, about a month old. Her peo ple told her she behaved well in the little company. The day was July 4. 1852. The scene, the little log school house, first public school building erect ed in Salem, then standing at what is now the northwest corner of Marion and Commercial streets opposite Marlon square; then In a small clearing in a tangled for est. There were -present six peo ple: Rev. O. W. Good ell, who was on hand to organise the church and dedicate it with prayer, and I. N. Gilbert and wife and their baby Mattie, and Mrs. L. L. Wil liams and Albert M. Fellows. Thus the .church was organ ized with four charter members. S Is I. N. Gilbert and wife came to Oregon in the IS 4 4 wagon train immigration, at the urgent re quest of Dr. Marcus Whitman. Dr. Whitman and Mr. Gilbert were born in Rushville. New York, and were boyhood friends. The Gil berts stopped at Walilatpu and he engaged in work for the Whitman mission for, three years, until 1847, when they came by horse back to the Willamette valley, just before the massacre of Nov. 29. that year. S On Dec. S, 1S47, news of the massacre reached Oregon ". City, wnere tne Gilberts nad just ar rived. He responded to the call for volunteers ot Governor Aberne- thy; roda as first lieutenant of Capt. J.

C, 4th company, though It was the second to re spond. Mr. Gilbert carried the ef fects ot the hardships of that his toric winter campaign throughout the rest of his life. - Since the series in this column, mentioned above, was printed, the writer has found that Albert M. Fellows served as first lieutenant of Co. F in the Yakima war of 1855, of which Charles Bennett ot Salem was captain, and fought la the battle in which Capt. Bennett and Chief Peopeomoxmox were killed. Mr. Gilbert was converted by the Whitmans, and Mrs. Palmer prised and kept letters from Nar cissa Whitman to his . mother touching upon the fact. Thus the Whitman mission was the mother of the First Congregatio nal church of Salem. High history. The Gilbert donation land claim was in the Garden Road section. just east ot Salem. The old house, well preserved, still stands. There Mattie Gilbert was born, Ia June, IS 52. Mr. Gilbert surveyed the or iginal town of Salem and North Salem, . and, as Marion county clerk. recorded' the. plats; the North Salem plat first. Also, the nation was to stand by Luck Cava naugh in any and every way pos sible. She had not yet made up her mind whether Mulrooney was shrewdly stupid honest man or a cunning antagonist with the heart of a tiger in breast. "Is it the law am I compelled to answer yoa?" she asked, her finely pencilled brows pulling to gether. "Im trying to be nice to yoa,1 Mulrooney said getting up, for the He walked around on the thick pile of the carpet of this very elab orate living room. Habit asserted itself and he took out a cigar, cut the end carefully and began to smoke without in the least realiz ing what he was doing. Tiny red his commonplace I veins in his cheeks made delicate tracings. There was no doubt that he ap peared to be a thoroughly incom petent detective, yet he was, in fact. one of the three best of his kind in the United States. 1 "If yoa would do what I tell yon softly upholstered chair made him I yoa would be a lot better off," Leni feel hot and captured. "No, you dont have to answer me here and now. On the other hand, I can take yoa down to headquarters and hold yoa on charges, if I like.

"In the first place you ought to let Lucky Cavanaugh out of jail at once, and tell the newspapers that he Is perfectly innocent." "Why?" Leni tossed her golden head, the feeling of power surging through her stronger than before. "Why? Because he is innocent, knows who shot her. The jealous jm the first place. I dont care about woman theory is as good as any other. Now I ask you who would that jealous woman be? It might be yourself, for instance.

Despite I When he was In doubt, Mulrooney always grunted. It gave him a sen? sation of integrity.

McClane, which he (Me Clane) claimed to be the original town a valid claim. It was "Boone's Island," where the Lee mission mills and the Jason Lee residence were built starting the town, in 1840-41. S Mattie Gilbert was aa active church worker during all her act ive life. July 4, 1852, Rev. Good ell said, "now that the church Is organised, let as christen the child." This was done; and she labored up to full womanhood in that church; was present at its 1 8 th anniversary, and la . spirit at its. 70 th and 80th. She-was prom inent In the work ot the First Congregational church of Port land. (Sho went to- California from Portland, not Salem.) She was a large giver to California churches; recently gave $1000 to a new church near Saa Francisco. U m She- graduated from Willamette university with the class of 1870. Her end came on July 17th. Old time residents of .both Salem and Portland will be saddened on learning of her death. She was an accomplished woman, and she held high the ideals of true Chris tian service. Born ia a setting that linked the savage wilderness' with the arts of civilisation, she lived to see th territory west of the Rockies raised to the dignity of great commonwealths. And even so, her going was untimely. She possessed strength that might haver carried her long past the century mark but for the un toward accident that brought about the unnatural ending.
