Doubtless the same thing will be said of the New York department store owners who have -cieciuea w close their stores on Saturdays during July and August, giving their employes a full holiday on that day, instead of the usual half-holiday. We wish that more of our big employers might do that port of advertising. Motives should not be dissected too closely when good deeds are in question. It may have been the hope of advertising or it may have been self interest of the enlightened variety that led to this act, but whatever the motive there can be nothing but praise for the act. , . , , Which is not to say that it is one which all employers everywhere can follow. Mr. Ford was perhaps the only automobile maker in the country who could afford' to do what he did. Some of the New York dealers may not be able to close all dav Saturday. Certainly some of them would be called upon to make a greater sacrifice than those who have decided to close if they did the same thing. And outside of New York it is doubtful whether there will be any imitators. Yet they can all do something to make the work of their employes less onerous during the summer months, and, thank Heaven, a great many of them are doing a great deal. A "DAD" MEMORY The Cleveland Press interestingly notes that when Forbes-Robertson, the greatest living interpreter ot Hamlet, the most elusive of human characters, played the part in Cleveland last week the first floor of the theater with seats costing $2, was not filled, but the balcony and gallery were both packed, although the price of seats in each was higher than usual. The obvious deduction, says the Press, is, that "it isn't persons most appreciative of literature and the classic drama who have the most money." This observer also noted that every seat in the balcony and gallery was filled when the curtain rose, while One-third Ol the tlCKet holders On the IirSt HOOl tdme rendlctnn Eust Oreonum: More tlmn straggling in after the first scene.

Maybe in most cases a bad memory is a matter for con gratulation. The knowledge we need and use stays with us; only that which we do not use slips from us. Just as the physical organ which is not used, and therefore become superfluous, atrophies, so the knowl edge that is not useful or needful to us dies out of us. It is more than possible that a "bad" memory may be a selecting memory, which is not only useful for what it A good start toward getting together and staying tnrrntbpv wns mndp hv t hp Salem hnsinessrnpn last nie'ht. They should go right ahead perfecting the movement and Snfp".; getting everybody in line tor a Greater balem campaign that will make Salem the finest Capital City in the West. It can be done if the people want to do it because cities do not grow up they are built by the enterprise and loyalty of the people who live in them. It would not be a difficult task to build up a city here twice as large as the present Salem and much better in all respects as a place in which to live and do business. It is worth trying, anyway. bish, laxity in handling garbage and the dog nuisance. A town that will pass and enforce such an ordinance will be come a desirable place to reside, as the filthy will either reform or move out, leaving the town to those who want to be decently clean." The new chamber of j ,. uuhci i uiiiumi in p;iii lu acini a representative down here to show our local commercial club how to make its work more effective. The big city or ganization proposes to co-operate in every possible way with the local organ izations all over the stuto. Glorious news peace is in sight! The two old major leagues are conferring with the Federals and hope for a settlement is bright again. If this happens who cares about that other little scrap across the ocean!

The Medford Mail-Tribune has just printed the long little bewilderment as possible. j t.st editorial on record. It is entitled, "From Lincoln to These "bad" memories are often the best ; they nr. j Barnes." ' often the selecting memories. I hey may not win in school i , and college examinations, but they are apt to win n'r' A J snecial studies and in the supreme test of practical woi and achievement. They are apt to be incomparably superior to the miscellaneous memories that receive and retain only as boxes ami drawers receive and hold what ever is put into them. The best minds are as remarkable for the ease with which they resist and throw off what dees not concern them as for the permanence with which their useful truths engrave themselves. They are like clear glass which fluoric acid etches indelibly but which vitriol can not atl'ect at all. Squabble Bids Fair 10 Be Taken Into Court (Continued from Vnge One.) Colonel Roosevelt admits that he ignored the law, because it stood in the way of his becoming governor. Also the recognized Piatt, Harms and th eother bosses as lung as they kept him to the front. He says, however, that lie always did distrust them and was glad of the (pportunity to expose them. Most persons who read Roosevelt's story on the witness stand will conclude that if liarnes, et al, had continued to boost for the colonel he would have overlooked their tendencies to graft on the public. At any rate he admits that he worked in harmony with them for years, knownie; all the while that they were corrupt. i llitei i --1 think s,, t Miles. "Our :, I he eves ,,f tl lllill.
