SATURDAY,
A King And "Mr. Zero."
A beggar, ragged, dirtyill nnd thoroughly miser
able, had been brought into the presence of the king.
The monarch listened with sympathetic interest to the
recital of his woes, t was a tale peculiarly harrowing,
including as it did particulars ot the loss or great weulth,
position and family. By the time the beggar had fin
ished his recital tho king was in tears.' "Take him
away." he sobbed, turning to his guards. "Tako him
away and cut off his head;
Tho little story is brought to mind when ono, reads
about tno indignant protests being mauo by some jncw
Yorkers and somo New York newspapers against tho
recent demonstrations made, by a horde of down-and-outers
led by "Mr. Zero," who took his un-prctty crew
of ragamuffins into a .church for warmth and shelter.
Naturally, the incident and attendant publicity brought
a condition of human misery to the notice of a good
many peoplo who do not como in contact with such
things in their daily life. Peoplo of this class were
shocked and pained, all of them. Some few took steps
to extend help in one way or another to tho destitute.
' Others called upon the authorities to provido a remedy.
Still others denounced the demonstration by "Mr. Zero"
i and his ragamuffins as disgraceful. The New York
. J Herald-Tribune's comment was that "'Mr. Zero' is in
tho business of making misery theatrical."
j Misery, one deduces in seeking to interpret the
: 2Ierald-Tribu.no and others like it, should always hide
jits head. "Misery should never permit itself to become
j vocal. However ill-deserved its misfortunes may be,
( misery, with its cross on its shoulders, should, lest the
'sight of it grieve tho rest of us, always keep to the
'remote by-ways. "Tako him away," sobbed the king,
"and cut off Jus head; I cannot bear his grief."
Lynchings Decrease.
, Lynchings in tho United States are on the decrease.
, This is for American humanity a hopeful sign. There is
I much accusation of the present generation on many
'grounds. Numerous critics are earnestly of the opin
ion that we as a peoplo are growing worse. Tho sta
tistics on lynching tell a different story.
Tho annual report on tho subject of lynchings for
1924, issued by tho Tuskcgeo institute, famous Alabama
school for the training of colored young people, shows
that only 16 persons woro lynched in tho entire United
States during tho ycair, tho lowest number since the
keeping of lynching records was begun. In l'J2:t there
woro X! lynchings. In !)22 thero were 57. Thus 'a
steady decrease has been shown in recent years.
Of tho lynchings of 1924 fivo occurred in Florida,
two in Georgia, one in Illinois, one in Kentucky, one in
iJi'uimmm, i wu in jjj lSNISSippi, OllC in ,1U1SS0U1'1, 0110 111
South Carolina, one in Tcnnesseo and one in Texas. All
ot .tuo persons lynched wero
persons lynchod during tho year were accused of of
fenses against women.
Another hopeful i'cuturo of tho report' put out by
. tho Tuskcgeo institute is the showing that 45 attempts'
nt lynching wero frustrated through action by officers.
Eight cases of this kind wero recorded in northern
states and 37 in southern states. Altogether the report
indicates an aroused public and official conscience, and is
encouraging.
The majority opinion of tho Oregon supremo court,
in a case just decided, that thero is no right of search
under tho prohibition law of tho person of citizens not
under arrest except by authority of a lawful search
warrant, siftms liko sound senso as well as good law. It
is repugnant to tho American spirit of freedom and. fair
play that citizens bo searched for liquor on mero sus
picion. Any innocent citizen subjected to such an ordeal
has just cause for indignation. If nrohihitimi is in re
tain its standing in the public esteem its enforcement
must bo carried along lines of fairness and equity.
Lin Ching-Lin, military governor of Chilili, gives
the army commanders in the corps area whero a train
has been robbed until next Monday to bring in tho rob
bers. If they fail they nro themselves to undergo exe
cution. The best guess ono can make from here is that
tho robbers will bo brought in not later than Sunday
night.
Tho Oregon Statesman is out with a year-end edi
tion of 40 pages, devoted to a very thorough and com
petent exploitation of the resources, products and in
dustries of tho Salem district in particular and the AVil
lamctto valley in general. It is a credit to its publishers.
, Mussolini, fascist premier of Italy, has suppressed
the newspapers which have been printing truths not to
his liking. If Mussolini will look up tho facts he will
find that no government ever achieved permanency which
sought to muzzle tho press.
Jokcsmiths may as well forego the making of fur
ther witticisms based on tho supposed stimulation of
the marriago market by leap year. In 1924 we have
had fewer marriages than in 192,'?.
Optimistic thought for today: Only threo Fridays
fall on the thirteenth of the month during 1925.

Progress at Saltm
(Salem Statesman)
Salem has one linen mill provided
for, to commence running July first;
with two or three more in prospect
and many to follow. There are two
or three beet sujar factories for Sa
lem in the offing. There is a potato
stBrch and dextrine specialty factory
among the probabilities. There are
many more industrial concerns whose
backers are looking this way. We are
going to hitch up the wheels of in
dustry to' the raw products of our
land, and build here the most pros
perous city in the entire world. How
large? It will be 50,000 before very
long. It will not stop at 100,000. The
flax and linen industries have made
Itelfast a city of 550,000, and one of
the soltdest cities in the world, and
a greater Belfast Is possible here. We
have all the natural advantuges of
Belfast for manufacturing articles
from flax und hemp, and we can pro
duce the flax and hemp, and Belfast
must import all but about 10 per cent
of her raw muteriuls.
Portland's Weather.
(Albany Herald)
When we compuro the relative ef
fects of the cold snap and itB varying
temperatures as shown by the official
weather reportB of Albany and Port
land, we are at a Iosb to account for
the seeming discrepancies.
Albany reported a minimum tem
perature of 3 degrees below aero;
whilo Portland's loweBt mark, as we
remember it, was 13 degrees above
zero.
Yet at Portland the Willamette
river froze over so that an automo
bile bearing a number of men passed
over it safely. At Albany the Willam
etto river did not freeze entirely over.
At Portland water pipes under
neath the pavement froze and broke
with much attendant inconvenience.
At Albany the city's water pipes did
not freeze.
Far be it for us to cast anw insinu
ation on the accuracy of the govern
ment a weather observer at Purtlund
But we confess we con't understand
how it is that weather so much more
moderate at Portland can be so much
more freezing in Its effect at Portland
thau a lower temperature at Albuny
can affect Albany.
Doubtless 'some allowance must be
made for the variation of the rapidity
of the current of the Willamette river
and perhaps for different depths of
tho two cities' water pipes but even
then, wo arc from Missouri.
Oregon Apples In Arkansas
(Fayettoville, Ark., Democrat)
It seems a curious thing that in
Favcttevillc, the center of tho finest
apple regiou in tho world, it is al
most impossible to buy at retail the
best grade of Washington county
grown apples. Oregon apples on the
other hand are at times plentiful in
tho local morkcts. Somebody ought to
look into this and find out where the
trouble is.

KENT CLOSES THE DEAL
Chapter Mi
The next night Kent came to me
beaming.
"Victor Lnchman took that apart
ment on Fifth Avenue, Babe," ho ex
clajmed delightedly as I weut to
meet him at tho front door. ,
"Oh, Kent, ,1'm so glad," I breath
ed softly against his shoulder as ho
hugged me up to him fervently.
"Yes, ho wna very much pleased
with it thought It just the thing,
and it is a beauty, Bobs."
"Better than ours, Kent?" 1 teas
ed. "Well, I'm afraid just a little, but
we'll be moving up or. Fifth Avenue
ourselves some day, little wife," he
promised.
''Wo couldn't be anj' happier, dear
est, and that's wlmt counts." 1 re
turned warmly with my arms about
his neck.
Kent was doing so well in busi
ness nnd it had beeu a wonderful
stimulus to his faith. I was so
thankful. It seemed almost like the
answer to i.ur determination to re
trieve Kent's mistake. Kent showed
plainly that ho was tremendously
pleased and encouraged, but he never
spoke directly uf its being the act of
I'roYidcncc. Belief like that comes
more slowly to a man. My faith made
me look for tho answer, for some
reason for it all, and 1 found it in
the fact that Kent had risen above
his mistake.
"Did you have any difficulty get
ting the apartmcut fur Mr. Lach
loan?" 1 interrogated as we sat dowu
to dinner.
"Yes, thought I wasn't going to
get it at first. You sea another Vgent

"Mow did you inansge to procure

That smooth, fresh whiteness that you prize In
your soft collars the only way to keep it is to
have your collars laundered professionally in
mild, rainsoft water with pure soap. Hard water
only makes the yellow stains of perspiration more

leaves the surface smart, smooth and unwrinkled.
Just try this better method well send for your
