Is provision, calculated to aid In and encourage, tho reformallon of prison ers. Tho last legislature), which met In Hcsiilon soon after West's Inaugural ion as governor, passed a law extending llie Indeterminate senlenco and parolo law, milking it applicable not only to those who might thereafter ho con victed of crimes for which tho maxi mum punishment was a definite nimi lier of years, but also to all prisoners, tit the sanio cIiihs, serving lime when the law was passed. This made the law at omo applicable t() a large num lier then In prison, and within a very short, time Governor West was, by that mimo law compelled to take net Ion lu their cases. Obeying tho law, he was forced to release within a short time ii large number of prisoners. Largely owing to this, and tho fact t I'll t few understood tho parole law, the Imprewdon, fimtercxl by some inim ical newspapers, got abroad that the governor vuh simply turning looso a largo number of criminals of his own volition. Few knew that tho law prac tically compelled him to do this.

Wilbur Gains, Capital Journal WEDNESDAY Dec. 4, 19lJi "Parcels post Is a great thing for the merchants of the city of Salem," said Alonzo Morrison, the cpresenta tlvo of tho United States Steel Prod ucts company. "Every Salem mer chant should be highly elated over the passage of the act. "How about the mail order business taking a strong hold hereafter," was askinl Mr. Morrison. "Every business house In the Capi tal City should bo content," said Mr. Morrison. Tho consumer will he con vinced sooner or later that to buy at homo means that they get what they buy and to cater to tho mall order liouses will eventually result In mis understandings embarrassing both to the dealer and tho consumer. The Salem merchants should be content with this: "If you secure your goods from my establishment, they will suit you and If they don't, bring thorn back. On the other hand, you patronize the mall order house and If your purchase don't suit, you have only one altorna the, and Unit Is, keep it. In fact, the present situation is th same as it has been heretofore If tho consumer would rather run a chance (and a chance it Is) by patronizing a Ann away back eat and after securing his or her goods lx dotdved as to the actual worth of tho article contracted point officers who w iui, uiey nave no recourse oilier man complain locally then It Is not tho Halein merchant's fault.

There aro a few, however, who are fearful that Mr. Shedeck will ap- meet with ill- favor by certain factions, and that the council may reject his recommendations.
