Salem seems more natural today a leaden ky, heavy mist and general atmosphere of gloom. Ten or 15 years ago, we served as doorkeeper of the senate through out a legislative session, and never saw the sun shine, lint yesterday here, was bright above and dry underfoot, while in Portland and Eugene, the sun was on the job most of the time. All in all it was the finest bit of winter weather w have ever seen, in the Willamette valley. But today the Weather Man returns to normalcy. Dropped in to see George Putnam, editor and publisher of the Salem Capital Journal in his new plant, which is undoubt edly one of the fineBt and most up-to-date newspaper establish ments in the entire state. A mass of glass and steel, with chrom ium trimmings, the very latest thing in tubular presses, and all the fixings. Helen Yockey is still on the job, as pert and com petent as ever, weighs a bit more than she used to, but doesn't look a day older. George carries his years well too, and while he has mellowed somewhat since his fiery Medford days, he is the same "George" keen, snappy, aggressive, never asking quarter, never giving any, in our judgment one of the most capable newspaper men in the state. A second day at the legislature confirms our original im pression. Things are just starting to jell. In a week or ten days there will be plenty of newspaper copy, but there is little or none now. The lower house is trying to find itself. We have a hunch that thi process will be greatly accelerated by a change in the governor's leadership on the floors An infusion of new blood and younger blood is indicated, and would do the adminis tration a great deal of good. There are a number of cloak room rumors. Two of them are semi-sensational in character. No. 1 intimates that certain transactions conducted by Wm. Governor Meier will come in session is over. No. 2 has to do state liquor commission, which gators. Judging by past experience such rumors should not be taken too seriously. They bob up in every session and nine times out of ten amount to nothing. However this may be tlw tenth time. . , . No business would think of over receipts or expenditures. Yet that is what many people demand of the governor of Oregon. The governor is essentially business manager of the state, but when he asks to have some control over how money should be raised and how it should be spent, there is a terrific howl a nose in the trough and want Essentially all Governor Martin wishes to do in Oregon, is what. Governor Lowden did in Illinois and Governor ,M Smith in New York, putting the affairs of the state on a business basis, eliminating superfluous bureaus and departments, cutting down expenses, placing direct responsibility, centralizing authority. At the present writing, however, it looks like a tough job. Our own prediction is Governor Martin will have to be content with only partial success at this regular session, but with the experience thus gained and the time allowed, will have his full program in operation before the Representative Merrinm of keen eyed, aggressive individual, prominence as one of the few outspoken opponents of the Town send old age pension plan in either house. A recall has been filed against him by the Townscndites in Eugene, but if this fact is worrying Merrinm he fails to show it. The Townscndites suffered a defeat in the lower house, when that body refused to endorse the plan as drawn, but only endorsed it without the pension r.llowance mentioned, "or any similar federal old age pension plan." The goneral impression here is the Townsentl plan will not figure as a political issue at this session, it beinc of course a national not a state The reading clerk in the house must have been a railroad station announcer in kis time, lie yells loudly enough, but so entirely without expression or clarity of enunciation, that no one can understand a thing he says, that, is no one back of the railing. It is different with the their own names just ns passengers recognize their destinations, however badly scrambled. John Carkin. Medford member of the state tax commission is another enthusiastic, admirer of Governor Martin. John pre dicts he will prove to be one of the best governors Oregon has had sinco the late Governor Chamberlain. He bases his predic tion upon the governor's sound sense, his refusal to play politics, his unswerving devotion to the best interests of his state, regard less of partisanship.

William Brady, 263 El Camlno. Beverly Bills. Cal. A TARTAR I How do wild boyi get that way? What makes lome children who do not actually become bandit or their female counter parts develop Into such "holy terrors" in youth? A correspond e n t submits a picture of the process of train ing such a child: Dear. Dr. Brady: Some time ago I noticed the an swer to my question but did not need It then. My little boy will be a years old In February and still uses a paci fier. ... Note here, parents, that the little boy uass the pacifier In the active mode; mother la of course passive. I've tried several times to break him, but on account of the depres sion I am living with my husband's mother, and she won't stand to hear him cry. Whenever I tried to break him she gave him the paci fier. If your suggestion will cure htm I'll ge gateful because It's very em barrassing at his age. He has always been a fussy eater. I never could give him vegetables, soups, cereals or any other foods except so-and-so's vltamln-D milk. That was all he wanted, It seemed. Please don't tell me to give him so-and-so's yeast. He won't have It. Preferably recommend something else to Improve his appetite. Do you suppose his poor appetite accounts for his sleeplessness? If he naps for 1A minutes you may as well throw a party before he falls asleep again. Ir he retires at 9 o'clock then between 1 and 3 o'clock In the morning he Is raring to go places and do things. Two years of broken sleep have worn me out. How come the baby has the paci fier habit? Who first introduced the pacifier? How come any baby has the psyslc habit? Who gives the first dose of physic, and whyT The one hsblt Is lust as sensible as the other. The parent or other guardian who in flicts on the young baby a paciiier or who permits the baby to acquire! the habit of Bucking thumb or chew-j ing clothing or indulging In any sort of odd or whimsical habit or action! In order to get sleep, Is making a neurotic of the child. Whoever In- j troduces an infant to the physic habit Is likewise making a neurotic of the child. The pacifier Is as nec-1 eitsary and as defendable as la the physic. How long does it take to break the pacifier hsblt? It takes Just about as long bs It does to break the physic habit. That Is, from 24 hours to a week, depending on the intelligence of the guardian and the control of the addict. Prom "The Brady Baby Book (copy Mclntyre at Palm Beach Bv 0. 0. McINTYRE PALM BEACH.

To the Editor: As there have been several write ups in your paper, supposedly from the district attornev's afllce. and most of them have appeared as though t was a croo and a fugitive from Justice I will endeavor to g.ve you mr statement, which 1 am T.1 ln, to t.ike my oah upon. I o 'e-ted j, j, a,. n mill ;n the EV id Indian district, mstvifaoturint cedvr. under contract sold to Mr. Ooeu of your city, William Smith acting as his agent. My lumber was to be paid for in three-quarters, when piled on the railroad right-of-way, Ashland. This lumber was to be 910.00 per thousand, f. o. b- Ashland. William Smith shipped three car loads In hia own name, I thinking It was going to Ooetz. I have never received full settlement from William Smith for those three cars. Finding that those were not being shipped by Ooetz, I appealed to Mr. Ooetz. He then shipped 106.000 in his own name to a company I did not know sny thing about. Th settlement Is in court. This made me unable to pay the full amount to my men, so I gave, them every cent I collected. Z ship ped three carloads In my own name, having my son collect the money in Oakland. On the 10th day of De cember I gave my clerk. Arthur Mo rang, a check for $107.40, to be di vided among my men. Ho ran away with the check. Z swore out a war rant for him. and he was arrested on the Oreensprlngs mountains by state cops, and brought back. When be delivered the money to the men, Z was kind enough to withdraw charges. Z told my men I was going to the city, and would return with my money, and fight out the Ooetz case, then settle with them, which they all agreed would be satisfactory. At this time Z had Mr. Brlggs of Ashland, employed on the Goeta case as attorney. From what I saw, I tig- Mured he was going wrong on the case Before Z got to Oakland. Mr. Brlggs had advised Morang, both holding a grudge, to get a couple more parties, and swear out a warrant of bailee. When I found out there was a war rant out. It delayed me In Oakland for a few days. Z phoned to the dis trict attorney's office, and a party answered, stating he was Mr. Codding I told him that Z understood that he had a warrant for me. and I would be glad to return as quick as I could get there. Z Immediately came to Ashland, called up the district at torney, and again a party answered, stating he was Mr. Codding. I to'.d him I was here to answer the war rant. He said, "Al right, we will ar range It at once. I went to Gus Newbury's office, my attorney. He arranged for a bearing on a later date. I went back to California, and my attorney wrote me to appear again I came back, bringing my sick wlf? with me. through the heavy snow and stormy weather, and went to Mr. New bury's office. He called the district attorney's office, stating that I was here and ready for a hearing the next day. Mr. Neilson, the deputy district attorney, had me thrown In Jail, post poning my hearing, giving me no chance to settle, and keeping me In Jail for 13 days, publishing through the paper everything he could think of. When my hearing came up, Z was taken into Judge Roberts' court of Ashland, After seeing what witness was there, they stated there was come other witness they wished to have Mr, Roberts stated that there wasn't at present evidence enough to hold me to the grand Jury, but he would continue the case, as he did not wan' to see me get out. He had an old grudge of his own to settle. Tills grudge was from a traffic violation. I was called Into his court early In the summer, on a "stop sign'' viola tion. I appeared in court, and there was no complaining witness. He call ed me back four consecutive Tues days, without any complaining wit ness. later that day he met me on the street of Ashland, and said that there was no complaining witness, but he was entitled to his costs. He stood on the street and said he wduld impose a fine of 95 with 4 50 cost, and would suspend the fine, as long as he could get his costs. I did n'Jt feel as though I should stand for any kangaroo courts, and 1 never paid the costs. If there had not been any warrant sworn out, I would have re turned to Ashland, and had this all settled up before the New Year. I am satisfied for anyone who wishes to write the Bank of Dorr Is. where 1 have operated for the last five years, and they will find that I have never lelt an employe without his pay. I am writing this statement to show the public that I have been rail roaded in on this trouble. It has cost me considerable money, and put my wife under the doctoi's care. P. S. DAINARD.
