THE SAGE BRUSH HONORED CONCERNING COMPANY M Company M has a record that not only Salem, but the state and for that matter the nation so far as is knows of it, is proud. When the call came for .men for service in Mexico Salem's crack company was one of the first in the nation and the first in the state to say "Ready." It did good service, although fortunately there was no fighting to be done, and coming home under the change in the nature of the service, lost more than half its former mem bers. It is now below the standard required to give it recognition and unless it can be recruited up to standard, Salem will lose the company. With it the armory will be closed and the capital and second city in the state will be left without a semblance of a militia company. It will be a misfortune if this is allowed to happen. - It will be more than that, it will be a disgrace. If any city in the state i should have a military organization it is the state's capital. A vigorous campaign is on to recruit the com pany up' to standard, and surely there are enough patri otic young men here to fill its ranks to the limit. Many seem to think that any semblance of militarism is a crime ; overlooking the fact that such organizations are main- The Nevada legislature two years ago refused to iidopt the sagebrush as the emblem of the state, but the women's clubs took the matter up and the present legis lr.tiivo fYtvmn llv florlnred it the state emblem. It is peculiarly appropriate. The greater part of the state is tamed not for the purpose of attacking anyone but simply covered with this hardy plant, and as it is about the only as a means of defense should the occasion arise. Another thing that can thrive in that dry climate it deserves well feature of the service is the physical benefits derived. .. .. . , . i .i.: ,. it, ,nnU I rni i.Li. .:n . v Ot tne State lor giving H a vegeiauon it umci we wuuiu mere is miming uiai, win give a. young muii &utn a. not have. There is another bit of vegetation that few straightening up, such carriage, as military training. OPEN FORK. J I ' BY A SALEM MOTHER outside of the state are aware finds its home in all parts of Nevada, and that is the wild onion. Like the sage brush it is everywhere and performs a double duty. Its reddish purple flowers please the eye and its delicate fragrance reminds one of home when grandma has a cold. Besides with the sagebrush it forms a splendid combina tion for the culinary department of the state. The sage hrnsh enables the loneeared and fleeting jack rabbit to exist, not only furnishing him in times of stress the wherewithal to get through a hard winter, but it also aids him in eluding his enemy, the lank and always nungry rnvrvtn P-ivinr him something to dodge around as well as h!riA hohinH. It also is responsible for the sage hen which is some suffragette, bossing the family even, furnishing the name for the species. The sage rooster is seldom heard of, though he is, next to the turkey, the largest game bird in the whole country. He is also, PMwinllv nlnntr toward Serine:, when he has had a few weeks diet of succulent young onions mixed with his ,miinr row. the framest bird that ever delighted the palate of a sunbrowned and desert blown epicure engaged between meals in following his beloved burro between mining camps. The sagebrush furnishes the jack rabbit and the sagehen for his especial delectation. It also furnishes the flavor, and the fuel to cook him or her with. At the same time the burro fills up on the gray and delicately tasseled tops of the Nevada forest trees, ab sorbs a few gallons of sweet alkali water, and thus filled with a home-brewed sage tea defies the desert and drouth, and patiently plods along with his master in the chasing after the end of the miner's rainbow. The women's clubs of Nevada, Sagebrush clubs,' did well to force an unap preciative legislature to adopt the lowly sagebrush as the , state's emblem, for without it there would be no Nevada. NO MORE RAILROAD STRIKES . The decisions of the supreme court in the Adamson law case seems to be far reaching and to contain some elements not fully pleasing to the brotherhood leaders. It is claimed that under it employes on public utilities, such as transportation companies, are subject to regula tion by congress just as the roads are; and that congress can pass laws that will prevent strikes in such employ ments. It is the country's right to have its business pro tected, and it is probable it will not be necessary tb legis late on the subject. Labor now has an eight hour day, and as the court decides congress has the right to fix wages as well as rates on the roads, there should be no occasion ' for further strikes. Not only that but the managers and their men are closer by reason of the trouble just settled than ever before. Hereafter there will, perhaps be a quicker and fuller recognition by each of the others rights, and both will take a broader view of their mutual relations and interdependence It is probable the rail roads will ask congress for permission to charge higher rates, it being estimated it will cost them $50,000,000 more to run their roads than under the old ararngernent. So as the people pay the extra cost of peace, they are certainly entitled to have it. ; The latest report from Mexico is to the effect that Villa drew General Murguia into a trap and slaughtered 1,200 of his command. While it is probbale Murguia got badly whipped if he met the bandit; when the stragglers who skipped first get back to their company it will be found that a round dozen will cover the fatalities unless a few of the more badly demoralized outran themselves and died from fright. ; This is shown most emphatically in the appearance of the West Pointers and the boys from the naval academy at Annapolis.. They are the best drilled and finest appearing lot of young men in the world and their physical "set-up" is due entirely to their military training. An auto apparently has no mora sense than its abor iginal ancestor, the cayuse. At Portland Monday an auto owner cranked up his machine that was evidently cranky enough without it, and without throwing it out of gear. When the juice came on it switched its tail, so to speak, and with the same devilishness that governs its cayuse relatives started a stunt similar to those at Pendleton. It first' ran over its owner, or tried to. Making . a partial failure of this it dashed across the street mounted the sidewalk, struck a pedestrian with one of its fore feet, or wheels, or whatever it fights with; then it knocked down a woman and would have done further damage but ran against a fruit stand and as it could not turn around like its cayuse prototype it had to stop. Bystanders lifted it off the woman and turned it over to the owner, as peace ful a little auto as could be round anywhere1.

His father you know, fought in the Civil War, and no Frank naturally was attracted by the Guard." (Here the interviewer asked the lady if she would advise all young men who were free to do so to join the local compnny.) "That depends. Some bovs have other members of the family to provide for. Of course it weuld be inconven ient for those to go away with the soldiers. But there are many other bovs who don't have to support any one who would not only be serving their ( ountry J)y joining the guard but who would be helping themselves. Fortu nately our income is suffcient so that w hen the eall for service comes Frank can go away "With the knowledge that 1 and his sister are provided for. "I feel, too, that the guard really does something for .its members. In Frank's ease it has built him up phys ically and has helped -him develop self reliance to a large extent.

It matters nothing if the richer are held up when they buy a pitcher of cream or gasoline; the rich folk need to do no yapping if they, when in the market shopping, are taxed an extra bean. But I am sorry for the toilers, true victims of the heartless spoilers who make the prices soar; the honest men Whose kids are many, to whom the losing of a, penny is tragedy, and more. It is the marvel of the ages how they, upon their meagre wages, still seem to make their way; the burden on their backs grows broader, and still they buy the house hold fodder, and live from day to day. They live, but on a scanty diet, and now we hear of frenzied riot, led by indignant dames; and still we're stung when buying taters, and still the sinful speculators pursue their wicked games. anules to the eas't.

Was Clifford right, nnd would Leon ard "get over it" as ho expressed it? I realized that I didn 't want him to get over it, even while undecided as to my own course. When vou read a story in which a woman- especially one who has borne children plans to leave her husband, and the writer tells how easily, how smoothly this upheaval of her life is accomplished, don 't be too ready to be lieve it. A girl who has been carefully brought up. Who has never kuown but the one man has a hard and bitter fight with herself, her conscience, before she decides upon the irrevocable step. Ev en then she often doubts the wisdom of her eonrse. Clifford was a bit improved. But so slowly had it come about so slight wa the improvement that it was even yet scarcely noticeable. Finally I said he did not disapprove my returning to nurse Clifford. I had not seen him since my return, nltho he had written me several sympathetic letters.
