Jones and her three i i follower declare! they will tramp to Christmas In a prison! To many minds the thought seems Incongru ous. To such people, men go to prison to ho punished, therefore why grant respite for a day? .Men are sent to prison bo that their neighbors will thereby have an example placed he fore them, one Unit will set the seal of the fear of the "law" upon their hearts and deter them from break ing Its statutes; men are sent to pris on so that they cannot infringe upon the rights of their human brut hers; as If any of us were worthy to cast tho first Btone. Hut when we g- back in thought across the lapse of many centuries to a tiny cradle and see the wisest of men paying homage to one In whom they recognized their peer: when we recall the incidents of His life which consisted In canning hope to the weary and dlscourag'si, in Nerving men and giving, from the fullness of his great heart, all that he had that he might bring tliem to the appreciation of their divine heritage; we realize that those who are in prison, of all people, need to have their hearts touched by the vitalizing force of love which this glorious season of Christ mas symbolizes. Sa potent, though, Is tills force of good-will and benevolence, of kindli ness and cheer which pulsates through the hearts of all and throbs In the very air at this joyful season, that even prison walls cannot, restrain It or prevent prisoners from feeling its vivifying force. At this time some of the men are remembered by their friends, but most are friendless and forlorn. The Btate endeavors to remind them of the day by serving a little better dinner than common and usually the managers of the local theatres kindly furnish a show, thus turning their minds from the consideration of their troubles, out and away, Into the liquid depths of Imagination and back to tho time when they were boys, when Innocence reigned supreme In their hearts and the day was clothed in magic and mystery, bringing into their hearts for a moment tho true meaning of Christmas, and reminding them that there Is more real pleasure In giving than In receiving or taking.

Ity Lou Is I.ai'limiinil, Mayor. After Bleeping peacefully in the arms of .Morpheus for a period of 0 years, dear old Salem woke up, stretched itself, wiped Its eyes, nte a hearty meal and determined to get on the mai, and who can gainsay hut that, it made good. From a "dead as a door nail" town to a live, wide awake '(immunity s a wonderful and remarkable transition, but we have the "goods" to show for it and are willing to enter a plea of guilty. Let the old-timers look hack to Salem as it was and compare it with Salem as it Is today, nnd note the nnnzlng growth which has taken place "right, down the line." Compare our streets of today with the nnullioloB of the past, com pare our modern buildings of today which have superceded the shacks of the past, comparo tho prosperity of the merchants of today with the traf fickers of the past, compare the live, wide-awake character of our present citizenship with the mossback-do-nothlng ('lenient of tho past and you will readily understand why our splen did city has made such remarkable snides along progressive linos. Our wide streets, most of which have been paved, are the envy of the whole coun try; it appeals to the newcomer. The splendid agricultural country sur rounding our city is the fountain-head of our prosperity and tho railroad lines already constructed nnd in the course of construction are an abso lute guarantee that Salem Is nnd al ways will bo a verltablo Garden of Kden. Tho present administration has been unselfish In contributing Its best ef forts to make Salem a bigger and a better city in which to live. It has ever been on tho alert to minister to Its wants, careful and conservative In the expenditure of the moneys en trusted to Its care, and ready ntid w ill ing at any time to render an account ing for Its deeds. Salem has ceased to be a town; it Is a live, wide-awake city, a Greater Salem would he cor rect, and largely brought about through the efforts of our splendid citizenship, coupled with a body of administrative officers the like of 't.ML,UFW U.'IsVWIHtaiiiiUlUitt.ia'v'" THE SALEM ICE CO. General contractors, have operated In Salem about one year and all their work will bear close Inspection. It Is a pleasure for them to turn out good work, as this is their home town, and they believe In employing entirely homo labor, nnd place ns many mar ried men on their payroll ns possible, The payroll averages $3000 a month. As they employ only home labor, this money is kept in circulation In our own town. It seems as though the peo ple of Salem should consider all these things and give as near as possible (considering price, mntcrlal and work manship) firms making and spending their money In Salem In preference.
