Why Not Chemeketa?
The Indian village that for centuries existed on the site
of Salem was known by the name of Chemeketa, a far more
original and attractive name for an Oregon city than that
bestowed by the pioneers who laid out the capital city. So
why not restore its ancient American title to the modern
American city? It would not only avoid confusion engendered
by a multitude of Salcms, but secure a .distinction and
originality that would impress the world. Instead of being
one of 57 varieties of Salems, let us be the one and only
Ciiemeketa.
Oregon pioneers showed a deplorable lack of originality
in applying names. Their cities they called by the names of
eastern cities. Mountains were named after Englishmen by
Englishmen, and streams, they called after the fauna of the
region with the result -that there is duplication in every
county. They neglected, in most cases, to utilize the pic
turesque and musical names applied by the aborigines.
Salem Oregon, was named after Salem, Massachusetts, as
are all of the other Salems. The latter city was settled in
1626 by Puritans leaving England for religious freedom and
in 1629 they established the first Congregational church in
America. In 1636, however, the pastor, Roger Williams, was
driven out and forced to flee to the wilderness, wnicn was nu
is, the puritan idea of religious freedom.
wii.in ninm MnBMflhusetts. is rich in historical associa
inn. w mnin r.laim to fame rests in the witchcraft illusions
of 1692 when 19 persons were hanged as witches. This made
Salem famous. But why should the capital of Oregon have
to steal her name? We don't want her fame, why keep
her name?
The name Salem is mentioned in three places in the Bible.
In Geneses 14:18, when Abram was blessed after the battle
of kings
And Moklitzedek, hlng of Salem, brought forth bread and wine
and he "was the priest of the moat high jou.
This is further elucidated in Hebrews 7:
King of Salem, which Is King of peace, without father, without
mother, without descent, having nettner beginning oi uays uur cuu
of life but made like unto the Son of God, anldetu a priest xorever.
It was however the allusion to Salem in Psalms 76 that
caused the pious puritans to name their new world set-
Jement:
In Salem also Is his tabernacle.
There is a Salem in each of the following states in addition
.NEW LOVES FOR OLD
Marie waa much Interested In
going to the house party at Caro
line Phillips, not merely because
it would mean taking her first step
back into life since she had gone
to Paris to bury herself In obliv
ion and get a divorce, and not only
because her new friend, Bob Ran-!
da II, would be there. I
She was interested In seeing the
offect on her self. Married at
soveiiteen, she had never had any
opinions, had hardly had any
thoughts, that were not her hus
band's. What Billy said, what Billy
thought and wanted and believed,
had ruled her lire. She had adored
him, had wanted nothing but what
suited him.
(Now she realized what a mistake
that had been. At twenty-two she
was in many ways still a girl of
seventeen. She had had no experi
ence of life. During the short time
after Billy's success, when they had
gone about a great deal and met
many people, she had somehow
boon too much bewildered to know
what she waa about.
"I'll send a car for you," Caro
line had told her when they said
goodbye. "It will be at your hotel
at two; that will get you up to the
house In time for tea. Bring come
sport clothes with you, dear; you'll
need them we're awfully countri
fied at Beechurst. And bring all
your prettiest frocks unless I'm
mistaken, Bob Randall has lost his
head over you, and Is quito likely
to lose his heart an well, with a bit
of encouragement."
Marie thought of that remark as
she dressed for the drive to Beech
urst. It seemed odd, to be consid
ering the attentions of another
man, when ahe couldn't help feel
ing that she waa still married to
Billy.
"I've got to get over that, I sup
pose," she reflected, as she fitted
a tight little hat down close over
her blonde hair. "Billy and I could
be friends now, If he wanted to,
but there's nothing more than that
between us." Her eyes filled sudden
ly with tears, and she brushed
thorn away with a filmy handker
chief. "Don't be a fool," she told
herself furiously, "You've got to
begin playing the game now you
can't go around in a fool's para
dise, the way you used to. It's new
lives for old ones now, Marie Lane
and you've got to hurry up and
find a new one for yourself, in
stead of moping over the one that's
gone!"
She was willing enough to accept
that, but not to accept Caroline's
suggestion that the new life might
Include a new husband, possibly
Bob Randall, among other things.
She had feared that he might
drive out to Caroline's In the car
with her, and was relieved to find
that this had not been planned.
Only Caroline's young daughter,
Sue, was In the car when Marie en
tered it.
"How do you do?" Sue held out
her hand with all the poise and
charm of a woman of her mother's
age, instead of a girl of twelve.
"You don't remember me, Mrs.
Lane I was away at school when
you used to come to our house."
Marie settled down beside her,
wondering if this could be the child
whose photographs Caroline had
always had on her dresser. Caro
line adored Sue, she knew, but so
did Caroline's first husband, Sue's
father, and the little girl divided
her time between them. She refer
red to that arrangement now.
"I'll be so glad to get back to
Caro," she remarked. "Seeing Dad
is lots of fun, but he la so anxious
to give me a good time that well
we Just go places every night, and
I get tired of It after a little while.'
"Oo places?" Marie echoed.
"Yes theaters and big reatau
rants and all that: I like It for
about a month, but after that
well, I do get tired of It. Dad's a
darling I love him, of course, but
if we aren't having some excite
ment all the time he's afraid I'm
not enjoying being with him. And
then he's very athletic, you know
plays polo and golf and handball
and everything, and that's so strenu
ous."
Marie leaned back in her corner
limply. A child of twelve, so so
phisticated as all this!
Caroline's motor was a beautiful
thing, perfectly appointed, for a
woman's use. Powder, rouge, lip
sticks, were in a tiny case that fit
ted Into the side of the car unos
tentatiously. There were cigarettes
holders, cunningly contrived ash
trays, bon bons, smelling salts, each
in 1U place.
Conscious of her position as
hostess, Suo offered Mario the can
dy. "I don't eat it myself," she ex
plained. "So bad for the complex
ion. But perhaps you'd like some?
Or a cigarette?"
Marie refused, more bewildered
than ever. Was It having two
homes, two sets of parents, that
made this child so unchlldllke?
Her thoughts swung back to her
own future, as they left the city
behind and turned into the coun
try. Could she do as Caroline and
so many other women had done,
leave one life and one love behind
and step into the next, with never
a look hack over her shoulder?
For the first time In her life" ahe
waa glad that she and Billy had
had no children. At least, 1n their
cases, the break was a clean one!
