OUR GAINS IN TRADE
Since the first of the year the outside world has paid
down here a hundred million in gold.
This has been on top of many hundreds of millions
of merchandise shipped to us and many hundreds of mil
lions more of American stocks and bonds sold here
against the prodigious foreign purchases made from us.
" And yet the nations abroad, those at war and those at
peace, find no way to stop the downward crash of foreign
exchange.
This means nothing less than that, with all the goods,
with all the securities and all the gold they are rushing to
The government health service has issued a circular in
which there is the statement that ten thousand consump
tives annually come West to die. It estimates the con
sumptive population of Western Texas and New Mexico
at fiftv thousand. The circular rives warning against
consumptives in advanced stages going to that section of

being against the chances for prolonging life. The means
for taking care of consumptives are greater than ever
before in the older sections of the country where sani-1
tariums have been established and the outdoor cure is
administered. Much is being done to stamp out the disease
which has sent so many to the far West and Southwest to
endure hardships of travel and change, the lack of funds,
only to have death hastened. It is a timely warning the
government health service issues and it ought to be
heeded.

The story is that sweet potatoes are supplanting rice
over in China, being grown in all sections of the great
land and the natives taking to them with a greater liking
than for rice. The folks in China some day will look and
act far different after they're fed on the feed for years

Henry Ford, of Detroit, whose work seems to be chief
ly keeping people on the go and cutting melons measured
by millions, says he has no political ambitions. In other
words, Henry, notwithstanding he has amassed a com
petency, has no notion of dedicating himself as some
would say or, speaking in the terms of those who hear
the call of friends to get in the race, of devoting his time
to the service of the people in some political position.

The members of the city council park
committee und the city pnrk board have
been bombarded from nil sides with
complaints from citij'ns and taxpay
ers of the noise that is made by chil
dren turned looso indiseriminiitely und
allowed to romp nud shout to their
heart's content during the rendition of
the numbers at the public concerts in
Willson avenue and have been petition
ed to put a stop to this disturbance of
peace and luirinony.
The petitions have become so insis
tent nnd, in many cases, abusive that
the joint park committee and board
have decided to take steps to abate the
noisy romping and screaming of the
children while the band is rendering an
exceptionally choice selection of classi
cal music and to thts end, they claim,
they will call ia the services of the
police if parents will not pay attention
to reasonalde and polite reouosts to try
to keep their children within bounds
and as quiet as possible while the band
is playing. The din is so (,'reat, the
complainants say, at times tiiat when
the band is playing the soft and mel
low strains it is impossible to hear a
note of it on the outskirts of the
crowd.
The committee and board members
state that if the noise cannot be stop
ped the city will be obliged to with
draw its support of the band concerts
and they will bo discontinued, In a
final effort to curb the alleged "nuis
ance" the joint committee and park
board has drafted and requested pub
lished an appeal to parents in which
they say:
"These concerts are costing' the tax
payers of the city considerable money
and we believe they are entitled to tho
music for which they are paying, and
therefore feel it our duty to maintain
at least B reasonable umount of or
der during these concerts nnd attempt
to do this if it takes the entire police
force to accomplish it. It should bo
remembered that this park is not n
playground, so we will once moro ns!t
these parents to keep their children
quiet and help to make these concerts
a success, if you wish them to be con
tinued. "CITY PARK COMMITTEE,

A doctor from Brooklyn went all the way to San Fran
cisco to a gathering of medical practitioners to voice his
woe. He said that the great philanthropic foundations
Mich as tho Rockefeller and Carnegie are an ever increas
ing menace to the system of medicine of his brotherhood
of practitioners. That view of things as they are would
seem to take the wind out of the claim of medical met)
that their mission is to prevent rather than cure disease,
which would mean that the opportunities for fees would
be greatly lessened.
The Southern Pacific depot is again undergoing re
pairs. As our correspondent of today suggests,' the fear
t hat the historic relic which was regarded as a railroad
f'tation two or three decades ago is not likely to be re
placed by a showy, modern structure in the immediate
future is groundless. The vandal hand of progress has
been stayed.

OPEN FORUM
WOODMAN SPARE THAT TREE!
We are gliul to aanounco to the citi
zens of Salem that we arc not going to
have a new .Southern 1'ncir'ic depot.
Fof a time it seemed as though the an
cient edifice would be sacriligiously
torn down and a modern depot erected,
but public spirited citizens of Salem
after considerable cajolery, expense and
even threats finally persuaded the of
ficials that the historic, pilo must re
main for another generation at least.
It seems incredible to us thnt the great
Southern l'acif'ic Nvstem alumM lmn
for its officials, men, so unpatriotic,
so inusthetic, so unproc;ressive as to
even think of lowerinj,' this noble an
tique to the dust. How many times
have Salem citizens after showing tlieir
visiting friends the various modern
stnte institutions, the well paved
streets, the beautiful homes, the capitol
building, finally brought them to gaze
in silent awe on this one last relic of
bygone days. How often have our
hearts swelled with indignation when
some poor, ignorant brute spoke slight
ingly of our aged beloved structure;
called it a shack, a cowbani. Ah!
what associations! what memories hov
er about "ye olden station." Many
a time when boys have we wutched the
old "wood-burners" bring tlieir lends
of humanity to its hospitable doors.
Many a time and oft have we strolled
with our sweethearts to the depot "to
see the train come in." Jinny a time
we have watched the rats plav hide and
seek on the "wait in room" floor:
mostly " wuitin."
Tear this beloved temple down,
and build a new depot! NKVKK, MOV
Kl!, MOVKR!
Hut my feelings lead me to digress;
as previously stated the aesthetic peo
ple of Salem have prevailed upon the
officials of the Southern Pacific to
permit this architectural antique to re
main standing; however, it has become
necessnry through the defilement of its
floor by the common herd thnt a new
floor be built. It is hoped that no re
pair work be done that is not absolute
y necessary, as to alter the building
in nny wnv. or to imint it ..,i,i,i t.,.,.i

to remove some of that charm of sweet
simplicity tnat is so marked an
attribute, of the noble pile at present.
And then nnylhing having n tendency
toward modernization would be frowa
ed upon by those having the interests
of Salem at heart us ia that case the
structure would lose that air of au-
iiipnty tnat makes the depot n point of
attraction for the tourist.
