KEEPING A GOOD MAN DOWN Governor Speaks Boosts Prohibition Govern'.' fierce was the big at traction a', a meeting in the Interest of prohibition and law enforcement, held in the Normal auditorium Sun duy evening. Tlie churches gave up their services to the common cause. The governor uinied several broad sides at his political critics, especially in reference to an address to the dis trict attorneys of the state In which he is alleged td . have said that man's home to no longer his castle. He explained that this speech was written in advance and in it he said "a man's home is no longer his castle in which to commit crime." He told of the fuiore which the half state ment has made in the country, reach ing to the halls of congress, and singled out President Nicholas Mur ray Butler of Columbia University as a critic who took up several hour of his valuable time to indict an article aimed at the governor of Oregon. As the result of a letter of explanation and remonstrance sent to the univer sity man the governor received a sort of apology. He related also a number of instances which had arisen in his official contact with the peni tentiary and iU inmates which have arisen out of law breaking through violation of the prohibition laws. W. J. Herwig of the Anti-Saloon League put on two reels of moving pictures to illustrate the evils and perils of law-breaking in the manu facture and sale of "moonshine." An especial feature of the films was a representation of the killing of Sheriff Kendall of Linn county, who with a minister of the Christian church were both killed while raiding an illicit still. Other picturea show ed grafting and lawbreaking among officials and citizens in the handling of booze. . Mr. Herwig explained the nature of the work which the Anti-Saloon league is engaged in and said the next twenty four months were most critical in the preservation of the prohibition law and called for en- dorsemtit and financial aid in the prosecution of prohibition enforce ment.

(Continued ori page 4) . ; Awakened Suspicions ' Primary election day did not awak en a great deal of interest locally and a small vote was cast. Perhaps the vote would have been lighter still had not a list of endorsed candidates been left at each doorway in the city in the early morning with lists ., of the recommended for each party. ; : This operated to cause a few to im agine that some sort of conspiracy was in progress and caused a few to go and vote who would otherwise have stayed at home. They endeavored to vote as nearly opposite as possible to the recommendations. Splendid Concert By Salem Boy Singers Dr. II. C. Epley of Salem, a former resident of Monmouth brought to thia city Sunday afternoon, a chorus of boys and men who put on a program in the Christian church, under the auspices of the Dorcas society. To say that it was successful is putting it mildly. The church was crowded to the doors and many stood up in the aisles and hallway. The work of training the eighty boys was thor oughly done and their combined voic es rose and fell in a harmony that was much appreciated. There were enough men in the chorus to bring the total up to about one hundred. The chorus rendition of "111 Stand By" was received with every exhibi tion of approval. Other numbers which were received with prolonged applause were "The Sailor's Song" and a duet by a couple of small boys Paul Brown, the smallest member of the chorus, gave several popular harp selections, and Mrs. T.'E. Mc Croskey gave several delightful children's readings. The Happy Six, the Salem high school orchestra, ac companied the chorus and played a number of selections which were well received. At the close of the concert Dr. Ep ley at the request of old friends, sang a solo which was much enjoyed. The boys were invited to the base ment before their return to Salem, and treated to a luncheon. ' Mrs. J. H. Hawley It is fitting at the close of the life of our honored and trustworthy friends that we give cognition to the fitness of right living as an in spiration to lift ourselves above the strife of every day life. The life and influence of the sub ject of this sketch was such as to be worthy of all that confidence and commendation. Eliza E. Mulkey was born near Lexington, Missouri June 23, 1840, and came to Oregon with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Luke Mulkey, in 1847, where they became part of the pion eer stock of the early Oregon set tlers, living most of her life in Polk County. She was married to John H. Hawley, May 6th, 1857, and died in Portland May 7th, 1924. She, with her husband, passed their younger and most active years on their Bethel farm in Polk County where the rugged pioneer conditions were coped with in a successful way, and amid these scenes their children were reared to maturity. Mr. Haw ley afterwards engaged in mercantile business and later moved to Mon mouth where as president of the Polk county bank he won the reputation of a conservative country , financier whose institution weathered two pan ics with nptable credit and in this position he served until his death in 1911. Mrs. Hawley possessed those graces which made her every touch of life and association a testimony to the influence of the Christian's consecration to service. Her crown ing act in this community was the gift to her church of a substantial sum which created the Hawley Me morial Fund for the carrying out of a definite purpose which was cher ished by her as a necessity to the success of the church life. The whole community owes a last ing gratitude to the life and memory of such characters. r A Friend. Club Has Visitors '". Many farmers in the vicinity of Monmouth took advantage of the op portunity to dine with thesCommer cial club at the hotel at the regular meeting of the" club last Tuesday evening. A number of impromptu speeches were made after expressing the appreciation of all at the oppor tunity of meeting and . talking over common interests. Among -, those who responded were Herbert Jones, Wm. Riddell Jr., Mr." Lane, Claude Boothby, A. H. Craven . and Ira C. Powell. Dr. Bowersox discussed the farm settlement problem and R. E. Derby spoke in the interest of road maintenance.' Grand Ball The4 Odd Fellows are giving a grand ball jn their hall this Saturday even ing. ; They will have two orchestras and use both halls. Luncheon will be served by the Rebekahs. ' Tickets to the dance, $1.00. The proceeds are to be used to pay for a stereopti con recently acquired. Big Prices Paid for Pure Bred Jerseys The sum total of bids received for pure bred Jersevs in thp (WA a a I am held in this vicinity Tuesday and Wednesday was close to thirty thou sand dollars. The sale on the S. J. Mc Kee farm south of Independence -vuescay totaled f 13,680 and on Wednesday the Lougharf herd brought $15,220. Becaune lnr tv,;. sort of merchandise buyers come long distances and some of the cows were sought for by breeders living as far east as the New England states, it might be thought the hoof and mouth disease scare might have act- ea as a dampener on business, but apparently it did not Bids were re cerved by mail and wire and Eastern buyers acted through representatives or in person. In case the buyer wished to tk. his stock into a district where there was danger of infection, the local breeders advertised that thev wotilH keep the stock until any danger was past. i he highest price paid at the McKee sale was paid bv Windsor, Vermont, F. A. Kennedy, who purchased Pauline's Raleigh, son of St. Mawes Lad, for $1050. The highest price paid at the Loughary sale was $1060 bid by Hal lenback Brothers of Hood River for St. Mawes' Lad's Labelle, greatest proved daughter of St. Mawes' Lad and holder of both gold and silver medals. There was a large attendance at both sales. About 1.000 Deonle cam a from all points of the compass to at tend the McKee sale Tuesday. Lad's Iota, ex-world's champion butter cow for all time was sold to Allen & Post of Rickreall, Oregon for $950 and P. U. Powell and Son purchased - the famous sire St. Mawes Lad. holder of many medals. Twenty five of " this herd sold for an average of $543. The herd sire of the Loueharv farm was sold to Ed Carey of Carl ton for $4o5. Carey bred this bull and sold him as a calf several years ago for over twice as much as he paid for him. At this sale the animals were sold to almost every dairy sec tion of the country. E. A. Ellison of Chippewa Falls, Wis., bought St. Mawes' Rinda Louise: Frank Bas- troth of St. Paul, Minn., took St. Mawes' Rinda Nancy. St. Mawes' Olga Rose and St. Mawes' Rinda Lucy. J. K. Conger of Castle Rock, Wash., took two animals and John Todd of Spokane, Wash., took St. Mawes' Oltra Kin p. 3-month-nld hull. Other bidders bought animals for shipment to Vermont, Montana and other states. Conducting 6uch a sale as this is an expensive business even though as in this instance two breeders com bined to pool expenses. For advertis ing, a manager, etc. over a thousand' dollars was spent. But the returns justified the expense. A Fine Concert Seventy-seven performers were seated on the platform when the cur tain rose for the combined orchestras' concert in the Normal chapel last Fri day evening. Violins predominated, but there were saxaphones, cornets, trombones and other instruments, not to overlook the piano and drums. The three orchestras were the regular company and the training school or chestra from Independence and Mon mouth. The combined orchestra played the introductory numbers and they were followed by the Independ ence players, the Monmouth orchestra next and the Normal orchestra last. A number of solos were introduced and the brass . quartette from Inde- . pendence and the string quartette . from the Normal orchestra also ap peared in special numbers. Special features were piano music by Beryl Ramp of .Independence whose small body had difficulty in reaching all the keys and the brass quartette from Independence who ill their last num ber came in as plantation darkies and accompanied it with appropriate music. The playing of Eldon Riddell also found hearty favor with the audience. , The closing numbers by the Nor mal orchestra were also' especially good. Much of the credit for a suc cessful evening is due to Miss Peter son whose patient and effective tiain ing is reflected in the results. , . . Morlan & Son have improved their establishment this week by addii'g a larger and finer back bar for their soda fountain. '
