IaX the. brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted.
James 1.9.
Abas the Bee!
Dispatches in the past few weeks have carried the news
oT half a dozen automobile smash-ups due to the pernicious
activities of buzzing bees, circling about drivers' heads locat
ing suitable landings for attack. Sooner or later, in repelling
the aerial invaders; control of the machines was lost and the
cars landed in the gutter and their occupants in the hospital.
For a bee to wreck an auto constitutes a crime that should
no longer be tolerated. It calls for speedy action by our
welfare societies to provide drastic measures for suppression.
Our roads must be made safe. There "orta be a law" com
pelling busy-body bees to keep off the highways and away
from motor-cars,' providing compulsory progressive penalties
of fine and (not or) imprisonment for violations.
Inasmuch as no sober, respectable, law-abiding bee would
be found bumming on the public highway, the mere fact of
the presence of one in or about motor cars thereon, should be
prima facie evidence of a mixture of nectar and gasoline
fatal alike to bees and autos. It should not be necessary to
even sniff the breath of a bee for evidence, and the federal
supreme court will doubtless hold a search warrant as
unnecessary for the bee as the auto, both being transients.
Here is an opportunity for a new uplift movement a
society for the suppression of boozy bees. Show the public
on the films the true character of the bee, what a terrific
looking creature it really is under the microscope, illustrate
the tragedies resulting from the buzzing challenge to the
chauffeur, plead eloquently for the defense of society from
such a monster, and it will be easy to pry the pennies from
the pockets of the poor to be spent without accounting in a
"holy cause.
Such laws, once on the statute books, where they would
be speedily placed by a complaisant legislature, would become
sacred and the salvation of the government depend upon their
strict enforcement, necessitating a special Boozy Bee bureau,
with a staff of snoopers paid at public expense to locate and
suppress, not only the offending bee, but the sweet-scented
flower that brewed its jag and caused its downfall.
This nation must and shall be saved cost what it may!
Abas the bee!

I went back to the living-room

Build Up Salem
The best way to build up Salem and Oregon and create
permanent prosperity is to firmneg our enterprises at home,
This keeps both the control attd profits here, and insures a
policy favorable to the community and the state.
Many of our industries have been established by outside
capital. This sends the profits away and so helps keep the
state poor. With non-resident control, the profits become
the sole consideration and there is no interest in the welfare
of the community.
Oregon capital has too frequently been sent out of the
stale for bonds and securities that develop other sections
and upbuild other cities, instead of being kept working here.
Industries, like canneries and fruit processing, we have left
to outside capital. Consequently many of our canneries are
owned in California, their output is misbranded as California
product, their only interest is to pay as little as possible to
farmers and in wages and send to California as large profits
as possible a policy destined to impoverish the state and
enrich California.
Oregon has been kept poor and lagging behind her sister
states in the program of development simply because her
own citizens had so little faith in their own state that they
make their investments elsewhere. The profits made here
consequently go away to enrich -those who have had faith
in Oregon's future and put it into industrial production and
Oregon remains a backward state.
The proposed linen mill offers an opportunity to Correct
this situation, to develop a great Oregon industry and keep
its control and its profits in Oregon. With Oregon manage
ment, the welfare of the country becomes inseperately linked
with the welfare of the industry. Climatically and otherwise,
the Willamette valley is superbly adapted-for the growing
of superior flax fibre, and undoubtedly such an industry will
be developed by outside capital and its profits leave the
country, if we do not underwrite the project ourselves.
It is therefore, not only sound sense and good logic to
subscribe for stock in the proposed linen mill, but fine
business judgment. In no other way can the money be better
invested for upbuilding Salem and developing the valley.
As the Portland Journal remarks:
Nobody lias ever hoard a derogatory word concerning a pcvwlhte
groat flax Industry In Oregon. Nobody hua aver hoard from any
flax expert anythtug but the most glowing expressions of what can
he done here In the flax field.
The fibre eqilnN In bent In Rrlglum or Iretaud. 8otl and climate
are -perfectly sultnd. The lndualry would he another avonut Into
which to draw agricultural production and thereby help diversity.
And the world needs llnenn nnd other products of flax, and Ih
cl unorlng to pay big nrleea for thmn.
And Salem In so located a lo be tho natural center of a hlg flax
enterprise. At this dUt nitre, tt looks llVe this Is the time for Salem
rltUens to bittld up Salem.

"Yea I haven't aeen Louisa foi

gretfully as if Louise had really ex-

talk about old limes at school."
"Well, of coarse, under those cir-

clumsy iraiety. "Of course. If it was

My heart turned a few hand-
Kprlnsi just a warding of impend
lug danger. But I ami led calmly
enough.
"Where does Louise live, dear
I've forgotten," Virginia asked,
moving the humidor to where he
could easily reach It. I could see
th:it she was trying to place this
friend of mine.
'Ye we could drop you at her
house when we go to dinner,"
Frank added.

I stood up so quickly that my
tea cup crashed from the arm of
my chair to the floor. .
"I can't let one of my friends be
slandered In my presence!" I said
i harply, turning toward td door.
en thjusn I'd knawn Nick Just a

"The child is so loyal to her

Virginia say as I rushed out of the

Park Avenue address while Vir

sank when I realized that it not

private one. And he had the car

steps to the front door!

bravely enough. What would I do!

'We've been waiting for ycu."
