remove their evil features and tendencies."

Japan Seeking To

Wahlngton, March 5. Deeply con-j

desire the creation of a buffer state be
tween it and soviet controlled Russia.
Is believed here lhat the erection o.
such a state may be made one of the
first considerations ln any future rela
tions between Japan and Russia. To
what extent this has determined the
policy of Japan to withdraw Its troops
from Siberia, however, officials here
are unable to say.
Establishment of an antonnmous Si
berian state centered about Irkutsk has
been contemplated recently by the bol
shevik!, according to official dlsia!ch

possess of sufficiently Independent
character to satisfy any Japanese de
sire for a buffer between Japan and

"The growth of the city demands a

The hospital should have been con

vented and postponement of activity
toward securing It was made until this
time. But now it must be built to
bare for the Increased population
brought on with the paper mill, Phez
company, and other manufactories."
"The Salem general hospital will be

Keep them here, and watch them
work." .
The Salem General hospitnl, will be

The Salem fire department was

had barely left the station when an
alarm came In from the Tioga block
at State and Liberty streets.
The latter alarm was answered by
the remaining engine, the crew of
which son had control ot a small

from the furnace' room, had caught
fire. Smoke from this hud atraoted
atentlon, which is considered fortu
nate as the upper floors ot the build
ing were deserted at the time.
That portion of the fire apparatus
answering the first alarm found a

from a nearby flue, at the south lStfc

DEMOCRA TS ASKED TO SIGN
HOOVER NOMINATING PETITIONS
Petitions have been sent to the Capital Journal office and
can be signed there to place Herbert Hoover's name upon the
primary ballot as a democratic candidate for president.
The fact that Hoover has refused to state his party alleg
iance does not prevent the people of either or both parties
from nominating him against the wishes of the politicians,
and his own wishes. It is a case of the job seeking the man.
Only registered democrats are eligible to sign these
petitions, but if any republican will get out similar petitions
to nominate Hoover, the Capital Journal will render similar
aid in securing signatures.
It is up to the people to beat the politicians to it and name
the next president. If you are a democrat, sign this petition.
If you are a republican, get out a petition of your own.
