of men. In Portland a campaign for an
. additional MS) men is beinir wased. The
reason for this is said to be the steady
' growth of tho city,
i ' Salem, too, is rapidly growing, and
1 the force here must "be t) Uarged with
it. Basing the police requirements hore
on a ratio w'th the number of men in
the Portland department, Snlem needs
a force of 34 men. Eight now we must
havfc at least ten more men if we are
to carry on the business of tho depart
ment, an-,1 provide any sort of real
protection."' ,
Chief Wanwy said that there isn't
one call box in the whole city. He said
that there arc no bents, because the
shortage of men have made the systematic-
patrolling of the city Impos
sible. There are onlv three officers, two
on beats and one on the desk, on duty
at night, Varney said. . - '
The men of the department are com
pelled to work 32 hours a day, and
much dissatisfaction because of this has
been voiced bv the men. They are call
ed to work at all hours without addi
tional pay, and the expectation that
some of the men may resign as a result
is held by Chief Varney.
The call box situation is held laugh-.
able. When an officer is compelled to
i call headquarters, or make other callB I
the present force would be unable-to
eope with it effectively, Varney said.
Pressure will be brought to bear on
the city council at the Monday night
meeting, it is said,' to remedy the situation.

Washington, Oct. 4. (1:40 p. m.) Dr
Gravson announced this afternoon that
President Wilson ' .' condition remains
favorable and that doctors called into
consultation agree with him in this opin
ion.- The examination of the president 's
eves made by Dr. De Schweinitz showed
Hhei'e had been no change since the last
examination six momkg ago.

Grayson, . ;
- There was an air of mote encertul
mwn lit the White House thia mornine
It was learned that the president slept
quite lute and awoke feeling much re
freshed. He wna said to appear cheer
ful and unworricd. Throughout his ill
ncss ho has not been concerned about
himself, a fat which his physician be
lieves will hasten his recovery. .
The president, upon awakening this
morning, chatted with thoso about him
aud laughed, aecordUg- tfl White Houae

Joseph B. Wilson, 1 the president 's
brother, was unable to remain-here, but
is keeping in touch with , the White
House by telephone.
Mrs. Wilson was in the sickroom, at
an .early hour todfiy. She rarely leaves
her husband s side. She is being assist
ed by two trained nurses.
Dr., Grayson, who had been, showing
evldenee of worry since the president
halted his speaking touf-Hn Wichita last
week, seemed more cheerful today than
he has'been for some time.'. -
When Dr. Grayson was taking the
president 's temperature this morning,
he remarket: "Your temperature
normal."
"Yes, my temperature is normal, but
my temper won 't be if you keep me tn
this bed very much longer," said ml
son with a Bimle. . -
There were no evidence of excitement
outside the White House early today, no
curious crowds, nothing to indicate that
the president of the United States lay
seriously ill. An occasional automobile
rolled slowly up the sweeping drive to
the stately, pillared portico. In tu
wing which houses the executivo offices
the motto semed to be "business as
usual." Clerks and stenographers were
at work. The telegraph department of
the White House, in fact, was busier
than ever, due to the volume of tele
grams and cablegrams of sympathy, and
expressions for Wilson's speedy rcco
ery, which were pouring in from all
parts of the world. Mrs. Wilson is rend-

their minds away from the important
question, "How is Salem going to meet
the demand for more huoscs!" ' , :
One would infer that some one had
complained about apartments being fit

some good citizen who wishes to house,

the bishop would condemn the members
of his church who would do his best to
answer his own prayer! Let those whu
do nothing ceaso censoring those who
are busy trying to meet tho problems of
the city ,and then, their minds will be
free to co-operate, and not hinder.
If tho city of Salem were real old
fashioned Methodist camp meeting, and
each person was called upon to give
their experience, how many of us would
ask for tho prayers of the good brethren
of the .church instead. of finding fault
with what the ether members had done.
My , experience as far as living in 8a
lein is concerned, covers Dut- run
poriod of my life, approximately eigh
teen months, but my activities have
been along the same lines through life.
I met a man who practices law in
Salem. He had two houses to sell or
tnwib. One was only a sholi of a house
and the other was in a very bad condi
tion, and renting for about eight or ten
do!!irs per month. I obliged tho attor
noy by dealing for these two houses. I
finished one of them by making it mod
ern, and today instead of being vacant
it is a fine residence for the people, to
whom I sold it. The other house I plas
tered, painted and -completely reno
vated. I planted shrubbery, and over
