Much of the trouble from intoxication, he says, is traced to fortified wine, now sold in wine stores, which has an alcoholic content of over 20 per cent. It was a mistake to have changed the law, as the 1935 ses sion didto permit private stores to handle liquors of over 14 pej cent alcohol. The Knox commission recommended three classifications: beer of low alcoholic content, naturally fer mented wine, and liquors of over 14 per cent alcohol. The first two were to be eligible for sale at private stores, the last ex clusively at state stores and agencies. This distinction was made in the first liquor act but changed to permit stores to sell fortified wine at the next regular session. i While we would not say that fortified wine is responsi ble for more of the intoxication and drunken driving than the hard liquors sold in the state stores, yet these heavy wines should not be exposed for sale and sold over the counter in orivate stores, without restraint. They belong with the more potent alcoholic liquors, both the profit to the state. - Unfortunately the state has not succeeded very well in tempering the appetite for hard liquor. The public , taste doesn't confine itself to beer and light wine. It demands the drink with a bite in it. If the Knox,plan is to succeed greatT er effort must be spent in educating the public against con sumption of alcoholic liquors, either by temperance in use of hard liquors or by total abstinence. Apparently the only ed ucation going on is the advertising encouraging the consump tion of liquor. We noticed one paper with a whiskey ad on the church news page. The state, drawing so heavily on li quor profits to finance its relief and pension needs, is callous to the moral implications of its partnership. It does not see in its control system the obligation to encourage sobriety. So observers see liquor consumption increasing and the grip of the habit tightening on men and women. The Willamette Highway People of Lane, Klamath and Lake counties are ponder ing the question of how soon to open the Willamette high way which leads up the Willamette through Oak Ridge to connect Eugene with Klamath Falls. The highway commis sion says it can get the road in passable shape by the fall of 1939. By waiting until 1940 money will be availablelo sur face and oil the important sections so the road can handle the traffic properly. The commission wants to.know what pub lic sentiment in the counties is, whether the people want the opening delayed to insure a better highway, or rushed. If the road is like other roads being constructed over the mountains the: motorists will decide themselves by tackling it no matter what the condition. On the Santiam highways cars have been right on the heels of the bulldozers wherever they were admitted. Unless they keep the Willam ette highway barricaded travelers from North Dakota to Ar izona will be pointing their cars over it, trusting they can get through. ' The Willamette highway, is going to be an important road, giving south central Oregon easy connection with the Willamette valley. It will provide a cross link from highway 99 to 97, and open a fast road to and from California. Sa 'lem is friendly to the road, because its customers will travel through this city on the main stem road; but we let the oth ' er counties say whether it should be opened in 1939 or 1940. When the writer last traversed it, in 1928, it was in about the same state as when it was originally laid out as a wagon road. A year one way or the other will not make very much -difference. Learning and Formal Education Recently there died in New York a man who was de scribed as one of the four or five best-educated men in the world. He was Dr. Wilberf orce Eames, chief bibliographer of the New York public library. His vast store of learning was recognized by honorary degrees from colleges and awards from learned societies. ' Yet Dr. Eames never attended college, did not even go to high school. He never traveled, living modestly in Brooklyn. The extent of his learnine may be indicated by the statement that he "was. an authority on North American Indian lan guages; could read Chinese and Japanese, and knew many of the Bantu dialects of Africa." His mind must have been peculiarly avid, one that re anired no stimulus or training in the schools. Nevertheless hit attainments raise the Question whether college training is not too formalized, whether the learning process too greatly, so the student merely oe- romes ski led in irettine swiftly by former scholars. Eames exposed himself to learning in the New York public library and his alert mind proceded to ab- iiorb learniner from its vast store of accumulated Knowledge. His record at least disproves informed mind must depend on college education, r or Barnes the learning process never stopped; for many it ceases when they get their diplomas.

HENDRICKS Facts for Salem Junior 12-24-37 high students about the history of their city, and their district and their state: V V (Concluding from yesterday: William Waldo, to his familiars Bill Waldo, a man with a .great heart and a sympathetic soul, could not resist the pathetically pitiful plea of Quinaby. He gave the old fellow the key only cau tioning him that his people must not be so noisy. And he remem bered ever after that speech of simple and untutored eloquence. Knowing it was full of truth, he did not hare It In his heart to deny Quinaby what he regarded as his right The rersion here given of the true story came from Reuben P. Boise, Jr.. son of the pioneer great Oregon lawyer and Judge. Wil liam Waldo was the man who planted on his then unplatted home property the twig which grew into the great .redwood tree that stands in the smallest city park in the world, at Summer and Cnlon sereets, Salem. Daniel Wal do was prominent in the 1843 Ap plegate train, first to come clear through to the end of the old Orregon trail with their covered wagons. m Quinaby died happy, Thanksgiv ing day. 1878. On high holidays, he had each year gone about the town and been given handouts at back doors from the groaning boards. This bounty was overdone on the festive day mentioned, and the ancient savage gorged himself to death. He had moved his camp to the jungle on what was "then called Arbor creek, now Pringle creek. There is where Quinaby drew his contented last breath and his spirit took Its flight to join his deceased tribesmen in the happy hunting grounds of the blessed of the red race. S The exact spot was on land of the Bush school, west of that mag nificent new building, bordering Pringle creek as it murmurs Its way north to South Mill creek, the Willamette and Sam Simpson's "moon-mad sea." - How did the whites decide upon the spelling of the name Quinaby? Your speaker can relate an Inci dent in this connection. u w When the Oregon, Electric rail road between Portland and Salem was being: completed, Elmer Mal Jory was employed by the com pany building that line. He was a Salem boy, born and raised here. His father was Rufus Mallory, congressman from Oregon. 187- 9; had commenced his law prac tice in Salem and became after his term in the lower house of the federal legislative body a leading lawyer of Portland. Elmer's mother was a daughter of Aaron Rose, founder of Roseburg, Ore gon. N 4 . Thus he had pioneer traditions. and was anxious to give stations along the Oregon Electric line names in conformity with that at- atmosphere like Choppunnlsh, Waconda, Quinaby, etc.; Indian names. . N But Elmer Mallory was not sure of the correct spelling of Quinaby: he found several versions. So he wrote to your speaker, who, to make sure of the right way, ap pealed to Hon A. Bush., pioneer editor and banker, founder of the Oregon Statesman and the, Ladd & Bush bank, who was an author ity on spelling, and a stickler for correct orthography. "Spell it like It sounds, Quin aby," said Mr. Bush, and added that this was the rule for all like words and names. So it is Quin aby, and will so remain. H Many people contend that the original. Indian, name of Salem, Chemeketa, should have been left as our white pioneers found it, partly because it was distinctive, and there are so many Salems scattered over the world. In this country 26 of our 48 states have Salems, not to mention Salem Station, Winston-Salem, Salemburg, and Salem Chapel, N. C: Salem Center, N. Y.; Salem Depot, N. H., and Salemville, Pa., and perhaps other variations now, for the list 'just named is taken from a Postal Guide of 1928. V Said Macaulay, English histor ian, statesman, essayist, poet: "A people that take no pride in the noble achievement of remote an cestors will never achieve any thing worthy to .be remembered with pride by remote descend ants." It is not too early in the junior high school grades to begin the study of world, American and Oregon history, and to create an atmosphere of interest and pride in such pursuit of knowledge. This phase of public education, espe cially as It relates to Oregon his tory, has been too long and too generally neglected In this state, Lately a wide appreciation of this fact has been noted. No more n couraglng trend could possibly be seen than this, promising great and brilliant things for the future of our Oregon, potentially bright est star in our or constellation of free American commonwealths.

There are reasons 'for thinking that folks ret up. early Sunday mornings to read The Statesman. At any rate some of them do. Anyway, If they don't how did ft come that the information reached me from three different sources last Sunday morning that Sir J. Forbes-Robertsori had died several weeks ago, end all of them before 10 o'clock? It seems that somebody , had stated In the paper of that morning that he (the somebody) did not know 'tether the great actor was or was not dead, which shows per haps thesort of newspaper reader the somebody ' Is, and he should be ashamed of himself, which he te a little but not much, and ha is Just a bit gratified by the fact t h t Sir Forbes - Robertson's friends In Salem ire of the sort whose way it is to stir folks up when folks are in need of stirring up. I reckon some of you when you were young stirred butter and su gar together to make pudding sauce on Christmas and other feast days. That sort of pudding sauce is called "hard sauce," I seem to remember, and it certain ly was hard to stir it to a consis tency which satisfied the dear woman who was in charge of the exercises.

Pres ently, perhaps, we shall have a certain red ray in our auto lights that penetrates fog to a sufficient extent that photographs taken within Its radiance are quite aa clear as if no fog existed. This magic was set forth in a news weekly during the week at the Grand theatre.
