Voice of Small Nations
Wm.h have a great deal of sympathy for the small nations
who . ;,. was so eloquently pleaded by Dr. Herbert V. Evatt,
it mtr. titr o( external affairs who previously distinguished him
self : cr,ferences of the United Nations. At San Francisco Dr.
Evatt .'pcke up for the full right of small powers to participate In
decis-jen on world questions. Now at Paris he protests against
the rule f the big four which gives the other 17 nations really
only so ij-ory status.
It doubtful thouh if his declamations will swing the big
pow-r. :r,to making the concessions demanded. Russia In par
ticular has been unwilling to entrust peace-making and treaty
writir) to a general Conference. And the United States might
jibe Auftraha a bit and remind Dr. Evatt of the time when that
comnnor.wealth-continent was clamoring for aid from the United
State (on Britain's forced default) to protect it from a threat
ened Jap invasion. In the war it was strength that counted,
though Australia did its part well in proportion to its resources.
In p;te of all this however it has seemed in the past that
the m.U r powers were more concerned about maintain; peace
(as wil they should be) and that their judgments were more
hone! and sincere and less prompted by nationalistic consider
ation? That was true with the league of nations and the world
court Thr smaller nations like those of Scandinavia and the Low
Count rus and South America and Czecho-Slovakia through Jthelr
repren ntatives made important contributions to the cause of
peace It would seem therefore that their voice should be al
lowed rr.cie weight than merely to express a recommendation,
r rririfcUr a complaint. Even rf the machinery ia not altered when
the voice ,s as forceful and courageous as that of Australia's Dr.
.vfctt it moral force is one than cannot easily be ignored. May-
b th Mr.ail nation may play an effective role as the Voice of
Conm unce for the peoples of the world.

Falif. cation hy Russian officers to American officers ia
pretty hard to take, yet that is what must be endured m the
case of the- detention of two American euicers by Russians in
their y.n of oceMfMttion in Germany. Seized on July 4th when
they (KtsMd into the Russian zone they simply disappeared
until t-v were released on July 31st. Meantime Americans
Inquired r f the Russian high command if the missing men were
being H ta.ned nt the Russians replied 4 General McNarney's
inquiry to the effect they knew nothing; about them.
Tiatrr.ent like that is treated in commoner walks of life
w:h a punch in the no.e. It was contemptuous and inexcusable

ofru-t rv hi.ri violaU-d regulations both of Russia and the United
Sister It was all right for Russia to detain them and question
thm But it is re4ty low-down to deny any knowledge of
tht?e -n .'or a period of nearly a month.

2 Juveniles
Held for Trial
On Theft Count
Three of the five young boys
who admitted numerous thefts
and 40 car prowlings to county
and cJty ; officers were released
Thursday after questioning. The
other two are being held for the
Juvenile court.
The five are brothers, of ages
11 to 15, police Said. They were
apprehended Wednesday night by
deputy sheriffs. Upon additional
questioning yesterday by city po
lice one of them admitted recent
ly having taken $24 and some
checks in money bag from the
S. Pi Motors office. Of this loot
officers said that a $01 check Is
still missing. The boy also con
fessed to taking a silver watch
from a home near the Salem golf
course, and to several other re
cent breakings and enterings in
local homes and Stores.
The boys were quoted as say
ing that they started to prowl
cars only recently and that most
mt the other offenses covered sev
eral weeks.

Silverion Club
To Meet Tuesday
SILVERTON The Business
and Professional women's Hub
will beld Its August meeting Tues
day night at the Silver ton Coun
try club. Dinner at the ekib will
be followed by motion sound pic
tures shown by Ernest Ekman. The
film to be shown is "The New
Oregon Trail." The dub house is
about the end of the old Oregon
trail, being the Allen Land dona
tion claim.
Miss Hannah Olson, president
of the club, is back from a sum
mer spent at Portland where she
attended the summer session of
the University of Oregon. The
executive board met t the home
of Mrs. Harold Larsen, program
chairman, Thursday night

But sugar was selling at a Va
line a pound, so the present price
on that is much sweeter. Hams
were 16-20c a pound, a price
which makes your mouth water
today.
Old names appear in the ads:
E. M. Wait had his printing of
fice in Gray's block; Chemeketa
hotel (now the Marion) was run
by Wesley Grave and advertised
Tree coach to the house"; S.
Durbin had an ad for his livery
stable and L S. Skiff, dentist,
announced "teeth extracted with
out pain." A. N. Gilbert it Co.
sold boots and shoes in the Hol
man block. W. L. Wade ran a
general store in North Salem. The
Commercial hotel in the Opera
house block (Miller's today) ad
vertised "No Chinese cooks em
ployed." The steamer Governor
G rover made trips to Corvallis
and intermediate places' on Mon
days and Thursdays and to Port
land Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Dr. A. M. Belt advertised as
"druggist and apothecary."
Ben Holladay, president of the
O it C railroad which had just
reached Salem, was in trouble,
being accused of fraud in the sale
'of bonds for his road which were
selling in Europe at 33 cents on
the dollar.
The Mercury reported that $20O
had been raised at a "fireman'
sociable" and that the Union Uni
versity directors were asking for
bids on 600.000 brick for the "state
university building" at - Eugene
City. The farmers were complain
ing about markets and srices so a
big convention was called. Sheriff
Scott reported he had collected
$70,000 in taxes during the year.
Messrs. Gilbert and Krumbein,
Portland architects, were drawing
plans for the new state capitol
to be submitted to the building
commission.
The Mercury was printed on
paper stock of excellent quality
as were the other newspapers of
that period, and its type is easily
legible. Its subscription price was
$3 a year. So far as I know there
is no complete file of it in existence.
Vets' Training
Policy Outlined
Veterans who are taking on-the-job
training were advised to
day by th veterans administra
tion not to quit their Jobs or
transfer to other employment
without notifying the VA fust.
Wayne T. Smith, VA trautin
officer In th Salem contact of
fice at th postoffic building,
explained Thursday that failure
to do so may jeopardize a veter
an's chance to resume training
at a later date.
"It Is to his positive advantage
to consult with a VA training of
ficer or contact representative
before quitting his training or
taking another Job," Smith stat
ed. "The VA will help the vet
eran set up a new program of
education or job training, or will
arrange to postpone his use of
GI training rights until a later
date."
Chang are permitted only for
good reasons, as the VA Intends
that th veteran should utilize
his educational benefits primarily
to further a life-long occupation, I
Smith pointed out.

Zarhary Taylor was president
of the United States for It
months and a soldier of th Unit
ed States for about 40 years. Th
time ratio Is just about right for
the imprint he made upon history
as politician and as soldier
Probably the brevity of his time
in the White House (rut short by
death after unwise partaking of
ice water, cherries and milk) ac
counts as much as any other fac
tor for his neglect by biographer.
But his record as eserutiv was
creditable and sound, and his
achievements in battle were as
brilliant as any in American war
annals.
Silas Bent McKinley and th
late Silas Bent have undertaken
here to bring Taylor's record as
n administrator of a nation to a
level with his stature as adminis
trator of an army. That they did
not quite succeed is more a crite
rion of their subject than of their
own labors.
Th authors' lob must nt hav
been an easy on. Th bibliogra
phy attests to assiduous search,
yet there is here little of th an
ecdotal, sometimes apocryphal but
always interesting, material which
enlivens such books.
There really is only on fault:

"When it comes to killing." said
Tom Horn. "I guess I've got a cor

Tom Horn wasn't a man to un
dervalue himself. Yet his word
couldn't rightly be called an ex.
aggeratiott. Ju.t how many men
he killed isn't known, and Tom
himself was a lilll vague Rit
there is no doubt that he was "an
exterminate' so-and-so."
