THE COMMON PEOPLE ARE HON.
EST.
Salem merchants testify to tho gen
eral nonesty of tho crowds; of people
who como to Aelr stores during the
holiday week to trade.
Tho majority of merchants confess
that very little was stolon. Somo ol
the dealers had oxports and floor walk
ers, and ovph detectives.
Tho stores wore crowded to the ut
most, and yet almost no cases of ac
tual theft wore discovered. When It
is considered that thousands of mon,
womon and chlldron jammed Into
these stores, and could have taken
thousanfls of dollars' worth of articles,
tho record is remarkable
REAL LAW MAKERS. .
Hon. It. p. Humo loft Christmas eve
for his winter home in San Francisco
As joint member for Ccos and Curry
counties ho took an Intelligent and
progressive interest In the affalr3 of
the intorlor of the state As a man of
largo property intorosts, but as a
friend of tho railroads ho championed
tho car shortage bill. Judge Halo, of
Josephine county is anclher man who
has been counted as a friend of the
railroads, who fought for tho rights of
the shippers. Both of these gontlemen
aro among tho best type of men who
aro sont to tho legislature being in
tho truo senso representatives of the
peoplo of tho stato at largo, and not
mero potty local graftors. It would
bo fortunate for tho taxpayers and
business Intorosts of Oicgon if more
such men couln be sent lo the halls of
legislation. Their record will bear investigation.
