pose to keep Blnger Hermann in congress-"

what the tone OF that paper was only few

about, or is Mr.. Hermann to be put out of
the way?

Salem Democrat: In an interview with
reporter Governor Pennoyer refers to the
Salem board of trade as the three tallors of

he believes he Is infallIble. Having made
false statement he conceives that obstinate
refusal to acknowledge a mistake clothes 1t
with the dignity of truth. He is suffering
from a "perverse profund of obliquity,"
out OF which we wish him a speedy deliv-
cry.

should be raised, and these may furnish our |
hnsbandmen means of securing money |
when crops fail or wheat commands little |
price in the market.
