Faono Main SI. POLITICS IN COUNTY OFFICES SALEM MAGAZINE TELLS OF SALEM SCENERY The Ladd & Bush Quarterly, a neat little magazine unique in character, in that it is published by a banking house, though wholly devoted to Oregon and especially the pioneer features of it and not to financial matters, came quite by accident into the hands of the writer a few days ago, although it was number 2 of the third volume and published in January of this year. . The cover page has the picture of a splendid looking man under which is the line: "A face well known by old Salemites Mr. A. T. Yeaton." Then for V,2 pages there follows a collection of as interesting matter, especially to old timers, as could well be crowded into the space. There is a splendid story of "Early Day Teachers," written by Mrs. Mary A. Cray Lench, concerning her trip to Oregon in 1851, reciting the death of delegate to Congress Hon. S. R. Thurston on board ship near Acapulco; and describ ing the men who afterward wrote their names large in Oregon history, who were passengers wuii uvr un uic trip. Then there is an intensely interesting story of the teachers, who they married and what became of them and theirs, and all told so concisely, yet so fully, that it is a model of historical writing. , Then there is a picture of the old flag tree at Fern Hazel, whose top was cut off to make a place for the flag stall' and give '"old glory" a chance to flaunt its beauties under the blue Oregon skies; and accompanying it a letter written by John S. Zieber from Fern Hazel, July 7, 1801, to his daughter. . Then follow a couple of pages of editorial matter con cerning Jackson day, good roads and bridges and other up to date matter; followed by a story about the naming of Mt. Hood, with a fine view of the mountain, the most majestic and attractive in the whole range. There is also a letter written by W. N. Barnhart in 1852 from Acapulco. An article on "Loju" brings one back from the long ago; and a series of short suggestions about road building brings one to the concluding article written by Mr. Bush himself. It matters not however who wrote it, so long as someone did, and that someone was intimate with Nature in her most delightful moods and appreciated her handiwork here in our own big valley. . , , Others wander far afield to write of Switzerland and the Alps, of vine-clad France or the blue skies of Italy. Still others carry us with them in imagination around the world and grow enthusiastic in fervid word paintings oi the beautilul that is iar away. It remained for Mr. Bush to call attention to the scenery here at our doors, in a delightfully yet simply told story of what he has seen and pointing out just where you may also see these same "wonderscapes." He takes you over the roads around Salem, pointing out here a little dell tucked away as though from very bashfulness. and there a glade, then a vista opening suddenly that lets the eyes gather in the full sweep of the Cascades with then snowy peaks ami again a noisy little stream that babbles out of the greenery, laughs at you, flees away and is lost in the tangle of vine and undergrowth. An old fence that Nature, always beautifying, has turned into a great stretch of wild roses that gladden the eyes and fill the air with fragrance, is called to your at tention. You have seen it, but it will look different to you next time. Then he takes you over the Folk county lulls, and everywhere he points out unsuspected beauties, or rather beauties we have overlooked because they were with us all the time and were common. He has grown up with it, been of it and it is part of his life. He lias seen the valley change from its original state when the Indian roamed over it, until it waved in yellow billows of grain or bloomed in the spring time miles upon miles of orchard. He has seen the cayuse with his ban nered mane give way to the railroad and the auto, but he has not forgotten. The Baseball season opens today. This ought to help push Villa and the European war off the front page, and give weary readers a much needed rest. The Multnomah county grand jury made its final re port Saturday and among other things denounced the methods in handling the county's business. It declared that: "Men unfitted for anything but politics were in charge of affairs, greatly to the financial loss of tax-payers and at the expense of efficiency." Personal differences between county commissioners were blamed for a general laxness and inattention to im portant public business. Almost criminal waste of money j was charged. This is one of the results of electing men to ! office simply because they are of this or that political j faith or pretend to be. j Politics should have absolutely nothing to do with a' county office, and men should be elected for fitness and 1 efficiency alone. Your true small politician has generally! no more real political belief than a monkey has religion, 1 but flocks to the stronger party as buzzards to a carrion,; and for the same reason, "the pickings." Men of one! political faith are as honest as those of another, and the reason why so many inefficients are found in office is be-1 cause as has been said, they flock to the stronger party and manage to work into office. When the people lay aside politics in selecting men for: non-political offices, they will get better men and better; service, and until they do this they have no kick coming' if the public affairs are badly managed. I Salem s H andy Repair Gui de "damn" back to its origin. So far they have chased it to Persia, where they say it was a very trifling piece of money, but was without the final "n", being just "dam." This recalls a rather odd use of the name in Cromwellian times in England, when the Roundheads used to furnish children with a real Christian name in the shape of a whole verse from the Bible. The Barebones family quite: prominent in those days, were examples of this one be ing named "Praise God" Barebones the other wearing the unhyphenated cognomen, "IfGod had'st not died for thee,! thou had'st been damned" Barebones. This was too long; for every day use, and so in true Anglo Saxon form it was shortened into "Damned" Barebones under which euphon ious title the doughty gentleman's deeds are recorded in history. Pronouncing that name would test a man's sobriety.

There was but little consola tion for the minister, in this disagreement, for the jury wanted to compromise with the judge, offering to return a verdict of guilty if the judge would promise to put the minister on probation. The judge refusing to do this the jury refused to find a verdict. His case will be called for retrial in the near future. Little Jack Horner Sat in a coiner. Kilting a " Loju ' ' pie.
