Rev. Roland ID. Grant In bic lecture
at salem took pains to declare that h'
was not q member Of the A. Z. A.
Organization or lecturing In its behalf
His positIon has been mistated by th'
Portland press and even the Catholic
Sentinel has been deceived.
IL ia not generally known but the
United Presbyterian church Is the
most pronounced against secret societ
Ies Of any Of the Evangelical denom-
ination and stand on the same plat
firm with the Catholics ou that ques
tion. IL WIS funny mistake to get
II. f. Wallace among the A. p. A
organizers and this department makes
the ERECTION and without prejudice.

"Ive boen trying to grow poor for
two years and / don't believe can
make IT," saId Attorney Geo. q. Bing-
han 10 another lawer.
"You are the only man who has not
been able TO be gratiied In that direc'
tIon," said the thin lawyer.
Mr.. Bingham was not talking about
his puise, but his avoIrdupOis.

"Without Prejudice" was mistaken
Ia listing II. II. Wallace among the A
p. A. organizers. Hugh +. Wallace
ID. d., is a Portland minister Of the
United Presbyterian church, just
plain, quiet preacher and not q pulpit
eensationalist. He is q brother OF J.
NJ. Wallace Of Salem aud is interested
IN the water works and trustee Of the
Wallace estate. The Portland preacher
by name Of Wallace, who Is after the
gamblers, aud discusses Catholicism
from his pulpit, Is Rev. George p.
Wallace

Mr.. Bingham says the supreme court
is year behind In iis work and that
appeals are piling up to the detriment
of litlgants and disgust Of counsel. Mr.
Bingham says that law should be
passed limiting appeols TO sums involv.
Ing $3.50 or over, as at present an appeal
can be taken to the supreme court In
any sum. In place Of electing more
judges there should be less litigation
ON appeals. In England there is law
allowing parties to suit, by agreeing
to submit It's adjudication 10
the trial judge. Then there is got rid
Df the too frequent temptation to APP
peal under the sting Of defeat.

Mr.. Leo Willis, Of Salem, is q Demo
rat OF lifelong standing and an intelli
rent business man. He has recently
written a private letter to his brother
n-law, Senator Morgan Of Alabama,
ielllng him II he could see his way tu
,ast a vote for the restoration ofa duty |
IN wool he hoped he would do II, as
'ree wool had proven a failure In the
West. Mr.. Willis regards the placing |
" wool on the free list as one OF the
most serious mistakes OF the Demo
'ratlc party aud one that will go far
oward driving Democrats out Of the
)emocratic party. He also consider
hat Mr.. Mckinley, of Ohio, is the log
cal candidate Of the Republican party
nd 1t would not take much TO induce
dr. Willis and hosts Of Democrats like
lin TO vote for Mckinley In preference
o n Democrat who favors free wool.

DdersloOd that he would not do 80
