Scared But Saved
Mere mention of Bolshevism or Communism is sufficient
to throw the state department into panic. During the
Hughes administration the government was in a constant
state of terror over the Reds and the same condition prevails
under becretary Kellogg. So to save the nation. Shamir i
Saklatvala, British delegate to the annual meeting of the
Interparliamentary Union to be held in Washington on
October 1, has been barred from entry as a menace to the
peace and safety of the country.
This gentleman with the unique name is a mild-mannered
native of India, a big business man who has become a
theoretical communist,a member of the British parliament,
where his course has not yet shattered the Foundations of
empire. Had it not been for the advertising given by his
exclusion by Secretary Kellogg, with the approval of the
president, he could have come and gone and few in America
ever have known of his presence. He would have been power
less to have accomplished anything and remained in
obscurity.
It will be remembered that a few months ago a gag was.
placed upon Count Karolyi of Himgary during his visit to
America, lest his utterances disturb the country's serenity.
So he crossed into Canada, said his say over the radio and
attracted no attention, because the red story is a many told
tale in this land of the free.
What is bureaucracy afraid of, that it applies the gag and
exclusion to. anyone holding a philosophy of government
differing from the divine order of stand-pattism? Why
it necessary to alter the traditional policy of the republic,
which for 150 years let everyone have his - say, with faith
enough in the intelligence and common sense of the people to
know that they will reject the false? Does the bureaucracy
think its wisdom so superior that it must shield the public to
prevent our going astray?
Says the Oregonian, which voices Wie viewpoint of the
administration
Safely consists In rlRid exclusion of all evangelists of revolution,
their speeches and writings, no matter In what guise they come.
Which contrasts very forcibly with the experience of
democracy as expressed by Jefferson who found a free press
and free speech:
Monuments of the safety wllh which errors ot opinion may be
tolerated whore reason Is left free lo combat It.
line, but her voice wan weetly
cajoling an she replied:
"Oh, but I want to see you
You're not too much rushed for
that, are you? And, you see,
spend eo much time at restaurants
and aueh places when I'm in New
York that it's delightful to me to
be here there are such pretty
walks along the shore of the lake,
and the garden is so pleasant In
the evening: It's -a wonderful place
to Bit and talk.
She hated herself; she felt that
Ahe was cheapening herself In her
own eyes.
"I'll go anywhere and stay any
length of time if I can sit In a
moonlit gardon with you," ho ex
claimed eagerly, "Will you walk
by the lake with me, little Pat
"Yen, surely," she answered
faintly. He needn't know Just yet
that Keith would bo walking with
them! And if they Hat in tho gar
den, Keith would sit there, too,
lhank heaven! Thei'O'd be no tote-
a-tetes tills evening, she told her
self, quite forgetting that a man
who had hhown Hewitts amazing
skill in out-generallng some of the
smartest financiers In the country
for his own benefit was hardly
likely to be foiled In so simple a
matter as thin.

hours," he told her. "I've Just

at the little watch that you finally
let me glvo you and mark off the
time till I come, will you, child?
"Yes just two hours of It." she
answered, her voice rippling with
amusement, and hung up the receiver.
Keith was looking at her with
eyes wide with ndnilration.

claimed, "lie wasn't going to come,

LINEN MILL
PROSPECTS
VERY BRIGHT,
(Continued Irum Pago One,).
board of directors will mean that
the mill will bo in operation with
in six months after the first moot
ing of the board in October. ' .
Plan Three Shifts.
Tho mill, according to present
plans, as soon as the first running
on an eight-hour shift ia put on
a satisfactory bais, will be turn
ed ovor to n 24-hour shift wit
fully 600 people employed an-i
probably more. This will be pos
sible through assurances that wn
mediate- market can bo found for
ill of the product of the mill as
fast as it is turned out.
rhunidtiys meeting of stock
holders will result, in the selection
ot seven or eight members of the
board of directors, the adoption of
'jylaws and probably election by
the directors of the president, vlcs-
prcsident and secretary-treasurer.
It is believed that shortly after
tho selection of directors, within
few days, probably early in Oc
tober, directoi'H will meet to take
immediate stepe for making con
tracts with farmers on the next
year's crop, consider selection of
manager and site, arrange for pur
chase of machinery and letter con
tracts for building construction.
Time Alan Saved..
Colonel Bart ram's recent trip to
Canada and New York directly In
behalf of the new organization,
he states, has resulted In the nar-
ng of fully three months' time in
getting the mill under way, as in
vestigations have been made and
knowledge gained for submission
to the board which would have to
have been secured following tho
election of the directors 't It were
not already gathered.
Colonel Bartram not only dis
covered that new and most modern
machinery can bo secured at a
materially lesser cost than first
estimated, but he also found that
skilled labor in various depart
ments can be brought from Can
ada and New York at a very rea
sonable compensation. No ar
rangements wero made for pro
curing this iabor, thla being a
matter for tho board of directors,
but all the facts In -regard to It
were marshalled and ready for
tho board when it needs them.
Hand Work Replaced.
Colonel Bartram stutud that at
Ontario ho located an automatic
scutching machine which replaces
all hand work It produces spin
ning tow with a capacity of 500
tons of straw per hour and will
mean that all of these operations
eau be centralized and cut down
overhead to a wonderful extent,
In addition to personally investi
gating the automatic scutcher, ho
llso. personally, investigated an
artificial drying machine, which
has been a proven success by turn
ng out over 400 tons ot straw in
perfect shape. This also assists In
centralizing operations and In ad'
dition does away with the neces
sity of reballng as the straw can
be sent directly from the drier in
to the automatic scutcher thus do-
ng away with further expensive
operations.
Colonel Bartram stated he went
over tho flax territory in Canada
and found the crop below par this
year, caused by too much cold
weather and to much rain at cer
tain periods.
Indications are that there will
be virtually a full representation
of stockholders at Thursday's
meeting, proxies-having been sent
out to all stockholders through
the chamber of commerce, and It
is expected there will be a full
representation
or by proxy.
ELECTION ON
4 MEASURES
ARE DEFEATED

ell quite forcefully.
Thoranson Not Satisfied.
"What I did say," answered tho
mayor, "was that I wanted the
council to go into them very thor
oughly and act on them on that
basis, and not pass them with the
expectation that I would veto
them."
Alderman Thompson arose and
said he believed he could under
stand the English language, and
insisted that the mayor had told
him, Alderman Kngstrom and
Johnson und City Attorney Kow
itz that he would veto the mens
ures if they passed.
This the mayor denied. "I did
say," he recalled, "that if the bal
lots were louded down so none of
them would have a chance to get
by I would rather veto them than
yee the city put to the expense of
placing them on the ballot.
Engtstrom euid his impression
of tho mayor's remarks was tho
same as Johnson's.
After some discussion of the dif
ficulty the city would have In fi
nancing a special election the
measures were tabled indefinitely.
Drunken Drivers HU.
The ordinance making the penal
ty for driving automobiles while
intoxicated conform to the state
law brought an attack from Alder
men Patton and Williams when it
came on for third reading, but it
yassed with only Williams voting
against It. Patton insisted that
the bill be amended so that hard
labor would be required of persons
convicted under the act, and Dan-
cy was inclined to the same opin
ion. William was against it, de
claring it was unnecessary dupli
cation of the ftate law, and that
offenders could be sent to the state
either In person courts. Mayor Gicsy said that hc
himself had introduced the mens-
ure at the request ot some ot the
best people in Salem and that It
wan not a matter ot dollars and
cents but of the lives of the peo
ple. Kosebraugh made a talk for
it.
Plumbiner Code Killed.
For some reason that was not
made known the plumbing code
was defeated. The council had
been wrestling with the measure
for several months. Mayor uicsy
expressed regret that the bill had
failed, declaring that It was very
important to the health , of the
city.
Other measures that passed
were:
Segregating the cost of finprnv

DUMB DORA
By Cluck Young
A Beer Compromise?
Brewers are said to have made a proposal to Anti-Saloon
League leaders for n compromise that would allow the ninnu
laciure ot beer wiln a larger alcoholic content than now
permitted, in exchange for a pledge to give all aid possihl
to driving out the boot-legger and slopping the sale of rum
The proposal does not include the making of light wines, i
which brewers are not interested, and is quite favorably
received by Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti
Saloon League, who stales that the League is open to a com
promise through which prohibition can be made eftective.
Light beer is not intoxicating and one would be nauseated
long before he became intoxicated drinking it and as a chang
of some kind seems imperative to save the Volstead act we
may see the strange coalition of brewers and preachers vs,
boot-leggers and moonshiners. The same alliance used to be
very effective in politics and might be equally so for
prohibit ion.
Any such change in the law would be n fortunate outcome
for the Willamette valley ns it would ensure a domestic
market for hops and rehabilitate our hop-yards, half of which
have been abandoned. Hops, in proportion to acreage, are the
most valuable and profitable crop, on the average, that can
be grown in this district, which is naturally one of the
premier hop sections of the world. At present the only
outlet for tho curtailed output is abroad, though home-brew
and boot-legging brewers furnish a limited domestic market,
