Men Wanted
Now is the time for all good men and true to come to the aid
orthe party. Now la the time for all. . .
No, it isn't our typing that needs brushing up. It s this
campaign. It started out so auspiciously, away back in 1949
ontirolv nut nf thp season, noliticallv-minded citizens
.began buzzing about a wide-open race for practically every
office in Marion county and in the city of Salem. It was taken
for granted that there would be a flock of candidates from
both parties in the county contests and another flock of non
partisan candidates for city offices.
Well, here it is less than a week before the deadline. It
is true that so far as quantity is concerned, the republicans
have an adequate slate in the primary for most county offi
ces. The candidates represent varying degrees of capacity for
the jobs they hope to fill and, assuming that the republican
voters exercise wisdom of choice, they will hare a strong slate
in most positions for the November final Yet with the re
publican field we are" not altogether satisfied; there are some
available citizens whose failure to "come to the aid of the par
ty" disappoints us.
As for the democrats, the figures speak for themselves.
The party that carried the county for president, sheriff and
a few other offices in 1932 and 1936 has scarcely mustered
a corporal's guard of aspirants for county offices and seems
unlikely to do much better in the few remaining days. And
while the bourbons' sorry showing might cause a republican's
heart to rejoice, it is not a pleasant spectacle for the citizen
interested primarily in good government Granting to the
Grand Old Party all of the virtues it has claimed down
through the years, it needs to be kept on its toes and there is
nothing capable of doing that excepting a dangerous minor
ity party.
There is disappointment too in the dearth of candidates
for the city council, where there is still danger that some al
dermanic seats will go begging or at best, will be knocked
down to the first bidder. The situation with respect to that
highly important agency, the water commission, is not much
better although it has improved in receitt days and there are
hopes of an adequate slate from which to choose before next
Monday's deadline.
In general, it seems that there is more interest in part
time jobs that in full-time jobs and there the answer with
respect to the county offices is the county's inadequate sal
ary scale. Marion county citizens should resolve to go before
the legislature next January with general demand that these
salaries be raised, so that there will be some incentive for
seeking them. The men entrusted with deciding the weighty
matters of county government should receive at least the
same pay as a rural mail carrier.
Custom Murdering
To start to talk about the Murder, Inc., organization now
being smashed (one hopes) by District Attorney O'Dwyer of
Brooklyn in the same breath as human progress may seem to
be laboring a fairly obvious negative unduly hard. Yet the
existence of the Brooklyn gang, the business of which was
custom liquidation of people for whom they had no personal
feeling one way or another whatsoever, is only another illus
tration of the patent generalization that as rapidly as tech
nical progress may scamper ahead, social progress is in many
respects, still rooting around in the European swamps along
with the Germans "about whom Tacitus wrote so nimbly some
two milleniums ago.
Murder, Inc., in fact, is perhaps most amazing because
it is bv no means new. Amnle nreoedents exit for its organ
ization and its activities. Hired assassins were a recognized
political convention of the late Roman empire, as Gibbon and
later writers testify at length; and they were only less evi
dent in the inchoate period before the crusades because few
people had the money to pay them and could do the job so
easily themselves anyway. Tyrannicide, demanding the serv
ices of a "punk" of some sort, was defended in highly respect
able political writing of the 12th and 13th centuries, and was
indulged in more than once. The Renaissance of the 16th
century, however, particularly in Italy, saw the heyday of or
ganized assassination, when Caesare Borgia, his serpentine
sister, Lucretia, and his disgusting father, Alexander, were
acknowledged masters of the art of not-too-gentle erasure of
political enemies. From the Italian precedents later grew the
Maffia societies of bloody memory, and in turn upon their
nnodel the "Molly Maguires" of the Pennsylvania coal fields
of the '70's. Even the England of a century ago (when Salem
was founded), had old ladies whose profession it was to drop
unwanted babies under the wheels of approaching cariages
. . . Progress, apparently, is mostly on paper.
The Brooklyn affair, of course, is shocking in the ex
treme, especially to an America which has complacently come
to believe that the FBI and the

with sickening force that we live too often in a realm of wish

carriage and utilitarian buggy, retreat in favor of Sylph

Albany Gets Plywood Plant
Albany is to be congratulated upon its success in at
tracting a major new industry, the plywood plant to be
erected byLPortland interests whose affiliation with existing
manufactories of similar type assure the new company's sta
bility. It is indicated that the plant will have a capacity
f 80 carloads of finished products per month and a payroll
at the start of $400,000 a year with good prospects for early
expansion. ;
; Albany is in favorable position with respect to peeler
log supply as is Lebanon which is expecting a similar com
pany to locate in its midst but Albany is not to be con
gratulated solely upon "good fortune" for its chamber of
commerce and its citizenry in general have played a part
in bringing about this development. The chamber's industrial
committee has been active and citizens have raised about
$30,000 for purchase of a site which will be sold to the ply
wood company at a nominal price. Albany's almost total
lack of labor trouble in recent years was undoubtedly another
favorable factor and one which can hardly be labeled merely
"fortuitous i
To sum it all up, Albany has earned this item of in
dustrial progress. Salem is not envious but despite its
population growth, Salem is lagging in the matter of new
industries while its neighbors go ahead. Unless something
"turns tip soon Salem will be left in the lurch and, as Al
bany's experience Indicates, these things do not just "turn
up." It's necessary to go oat after them. .

The names of the SO .-17-4.0
postofflces In Marlon
county, what do they mean?
beginning with that of Pratum:
(Continuing from yesterday:)
Now we come to number 19. Pra
tum, the source of the Inquiry
which started this series. Here is
what the McArthur book says:
"Pratum is a Latin word mean
ing meadow. The name is said to
hare been applied to the place by
a group of the Mennonite church
established in the community.
The railroad was built through
the locality about 1880, and it Is
said a Mr. Larson opened the first
store and called the place Enger.
for his brother. The name was
confused with Eugene, hence the
change to Pratum. Postal author
ities Inform the compiler that
Pratum postoffice was established
with the n ame Switzerland on
Feb. 28, 1887, and with John
Green first postmaster. The name
of the office was changed to En
ger on August 21, 1887, and to
Pratum October 1, 1898. There is
a community named Switzerland
near by, and the office may hare
been mo Ted In addition to hating
its name changed."
S
Pratulum is a little meadow.
Pratum is a good name for the
postoffice of thai community, one
of the best and thriftiest farming
sections in Oregon, or elsewhere.
In the Pratum section, people own
their own farms and work on
them, live on them, and have good
houses and finesbarns. There is no
unemployment problem in the
Pratum section, and neither the
government, nor state, nor the
county, has to take care of any
resident of the community.
"a
Next, 20, is Saint Benedict. Says
McArthur of this: "In the year
1883, a Benedectine. . . came to
Oregon and established a Bene
dictine community, which is now
known as St. Benedict's Abbey.
When the community was first es
tablished it was less than a mile
from the present site of Mount
Angel, and the authorities would
not establish a new postoffice for
the abeby. In the year 1904 a new
abbey was built on the b u 1 1 e
southeast of Mount Angel and in
1914 the postoffice of Saint Ben
edict was established at the abbey.
The first postmaster was Wendel
Niederprum. . . Saint Benedict
was named after the founder of
the Benedictine Order, who was
born in Nursla, Italy, in the year
4 80, and died at Monte Casino. It
aly, In the year 543." (The Bene
dictine Order is known as a Pio
neering one; going largely into
and developing new countries.)
Next, 21, St. Paul. Here is what
McArthur says: "Saint Paul was
named by Archbishop Francis
Norbert Blanchet, who came to
Oregon in 1838, and established
Saint Paul Mission in 1839 at the
Catholic church on French Prairie.
The mission was named for the
Apostle Paul. The writer is in
formed that the first postmaster
was John F. Theo. Brentano. The
postoffice was established June
24. 1874."
The "Catholic churrh on French
Frairie," in which Blanchet first
held services' establishing his mis
sion was not at the exact point of
the present St. Paul church and
city. It was In a log church build
ing erected in 1836, "four miles
above Charajioeg," according to
Bancroft's History of Oregon.
That is rather indefinite as to lo
cation, especially as "above"
might mean above by road or by
river: also, Champoeg might have
meant then a place near the pres
ent main building and monument
of Champoeg State Park, or any
one of a half dozen other spots
near there, or near the very
crooked Willamette river.
S
It was probably some distance
south and west of the present St.
Paul Catholic church, which Is
near the center of the town. It
was a building made of two log
houses, connected by a walk be
tween them, with a roof over the
walk. Joining the two log build
ings: a kind of architecture com
mon in pioneer Oregon. There is
a hope that the exact location may
be found, and marked, though the
hope, with the passing of the
years, grows daily more dim.
Number 22 Is Salem. Here Is
McArthur's book on the subject:
"Salem waa named by W. H. Will-
son of the Methodist mission
about 1846. Up to that time the
place was known as Chemeketa
apparently the name of a sub-
tribe of tbe Calapooia Indians.
Willson thought Chemeketa meant
'place of rest.' and chose the Bib
lical name Sholum or Salem,
meaning place of peace, as being
a better name than the Indian
form.
s s s
"In December, 1853. efforts
were made in the territorial legis
lature. to c h a n g e the name to
Thurston or Valena. Chester N.
Terry petitioned to have the name
changed to Corvallls, but after
spirited debate the name Corval
lls was given to the Benton coun
ty community then known at
Marysvllle. Tbe names Chemawa.
Willamette and Bronson were also
suggested. Pike and Victoria were
mentioned, but by this time the
members concluded that tbey had
wasted enough time over the mat
ter and the various bills were
postponed. The final rote was In
January, 1S54. The name Valena
is said to have been suggested be
cause it was the name of Valena
Paulina Nesmith, later Mrs. Wm.
Markland Molson. but she was not
born nntil 1855. (She was an aunt
of McArthur; a sister of his moth
er, who was Harriet K. Nesmith.)
Chemeketa is also said to hare
meant 'our old home and 'meet

Linda never knew how close

Bottinger was frantic. What ailed
the girl? He spoke to her sar
castically more than once, and
was doubly irritated to see that
it was lost on her. She didn't
know he'd said anything at all.
She'd been so sensible, so sane!
Such a model of a secretary.
Well, If she was going to act
like this, he'd have to get rid of
her.
But by the time he had hard

it, she was herself again. Quiet,
quick, efficient. Only her pale

That was all he said In the

word. Not even the assurance
that he'd write oftener now.
Time limped by. If he could be
casual, so could she. She'd
show him. .
Feverishly she threw herself
into her work. Mr. Bottinger
beamed. Perhaps he'd wronged
her. Perhaps she was ill a while
hack, when he thought she was
Just flighty. Anyway, she was
surpassing herself now.
He saw to it that she got a
$10 raise, which was to be a
secret, but somehow the news got
out, and some of the girls
weren't very pleasant about it.
Linda didn't care. It was only
a means to an end, that job of

It was herself, her looks, her

She never missed a French

to every literary event possible,
even went over to Tanya's, to
talk to King and Paul and Gladys
and Nola, and find out what was
going on. When Glenn came back
she'd have some things to talk
about, or know the reason why.
It was gratifying that King and
Paul were thrilled to see her,
and impressed with her new
clothes.
Gladys was a little edgey at
first. "Well, what brings you
back? Yon look prosperous
enough!"
"Just to see you."
"We've been sitting around for
a long, long while, waiting to see
you."
"I know. I've been a pig.

I was afraid that if I got back
here I'd stay, and wouldn't go

with my ideas, you know."
"And you never cared much
what I thought."
"I did, though. That was the
trouble. I've been so lonely for
you all that I could have cried
lots of times and more than
once I did."
"Then why didn't you come
back?"
"I've told you. Because I
was afraid."
" Gladys shook her head. "You're
a funny child, Linda, and God
only knows . why you've elected
to be the world's most successful
business woman. What does it
get you? Now look at me. I used
to be a secretary and a darn
good one. You may not think I
run this tea room very well, and
maybe I don't. But I know that
this is the why to have fun
while living. If I could have a
chain of tea-rooms and make a
lot of money I wouldn't want to.
This is fun the other way would
be Just work. . . . Are you hav

Bt PAUL MALLOW
WASHINGTON, March -Ways
of government are always
wondro to behold, but more
wondrous than aaytKln lately
Is the determination of tbo
agricnlture department to aive
way batter rather than sell It.
Rationed Britain, knowing the
United States had a bothersome
surplus In butter, tried to buy
about four million pounds with
out success.
Facts of the negotiation have
not been made public. In com
petent quarters, however. It is
known the British made official
inquiry about the price of such a
tremendous bulk purchase some
weeks ago. The Dairy Products
Marketing association, whose
policies are guided by the agri
culture department (because gov
ernment furnishes money for their
operations) quoted the British
31c on the first two million
pounds and SI He on the second
two million (market price then
was 20.76c), figuring apparently
that the disposition of the sur
plus would make the price rise.
The price was not conducive to
a sale as the fixed price In Brit
ain wonld enable British to pay
no more than 28 c.
That might be all right ex
cept that of the twelve million
pounds held by tbe Dairy Pro
ducts Marketing association
since last fall, about three mil
lion had to be bought by the
government's federal surplus
commodities corporation at 27c
or lower per pound, in order
to remove it from the market,
and this butter was given away
to reliefen.
Thus, while Mr. Roosevelt Is
bending every effort to sell planes
needed here In order to help the
allied cause, the British are un
able to buy a product of which
we have a surplus.
ARRANGING: If Mr. Roosevelt
Is not running, certainly most of
those around him are.
His old political manager for
Wisconsin and Minnesota In past
campaigns, Leo T. Crowley
(FDIC), has lately tiptoed into
the Badger state to promote the
third term primary campaign
there. In Wisconsin Mr. Roose
velt Is not running once but
twice. Two slates of delegates
have been entered for him, both
of which claim to be official.
Closest check that can be
made here Indicates neither Is
official. Mr. Roosevelt has not
authorized the use of his name
and, therefore, can not desig
nate an official slate.
MENDING?: The candidacy of
Robert (Brick wall) Jackson has
stopped gathering inside moment
um momentarily until tbe attor
ney general's situation with re
spect to the labor building trades
indictments can be straightened
out.
Jackson is second choice of
most of the third term workers
here, and will be first choice
when and if Mr. Roosevelt elimin
ates himself. Wide publicity for
him is being spread hereabouts.
but his strategists consider it
necessary to straighten out labor
objections as soon as possible. The
building trades Indictments were
promoted by Mr. Jackson's assist
ant, Thurmau Arnold, and
aroused union resentment.
There is a strong possibility the
indictments will be dropped.
UNANIMITY: Mr. Roosevelt
has won the first official poll
for a third term overwhelmingly
