WELCOME THE PoRrLANDERs.

The citizens and businessmen Of Salem
should heartily second the efforts Of the
Chamber OF Commerce TO give the Port
land businessmen who come TO the
state fair a cordial greeting on Port
land day. This lie duty Of hospitality
that we owe 10 ourselves and TO the
good name OF our city. OF course, as a
matter OF practice, Salem sends twice the
number Of people to any Portland event
than Portland ever sends TO Salem.
This is but natural, Portland being the
greater magnet to draw population.
But in some respects Salem is better
city than Portland. II is a better gov
erned city-the best governed city on
the Pacific coast. We have wider streets
and better sanitation, better water
service and better climate. There is
less rainfall here and more sea breeze In
hot weather. In fact 1t is not disputed
that Salem has the most ferIect summer
climate in the world. With more enter.
prise and greater civic pride the glories
OF Salem could be made 10 ring in the
ears OF the whole world, and we can
afford 10 give Portland hearty well
come.
But we must not depend on Portland
or any eastern newspaper syndicate
doing for us what Salemites must do
for themselves. We must put our own
best foot forward. We must meet and
greet the visitors during the state fair in
our happlest Salem way. II ist he only
way We have and II will be known as the
Salem way whatever II is, So clean up
the city streets. Sprinkle them.
Brighten up your premises. Don't just
stick out flag and leave the place look
ing shabby and dirty. Spruce up your
self and your place OF business and your
family and your horse and bnggy. Tie
a ribbon ON the dog, Quit walking on
your lower lip. The state fair week will
bring thousands 20 Salem. Let us greet
them cordially and in a way that they
will remember Salem and its people and
speak pleasantly Of us as long as they
live. Favorable business conditions are
going to prevail this fall IN spite of the
presidential election.

the daughter Of A. NJ. Witham. They
removed from Corvallis to Portland,
where they we're in busine g, and came
TO Pendleton a few months ago, about the

1t is stated that the parties took the
train for Portland. At the depot Mrs.
Fechter told friend of the family
that che was already sorry for what abe

drawn into it by power she could not
resist. She further said that che would

her.
The East Oregonian received a note
from DR.. Alkre Sunday stating that he
had been called 70 the East by the
serious illness of his father. 1t is thought
that the note was written for the purpose
Of throwing the detectives off.the scent.

ONLY N M,,und.r.,andinx.

Several years ago, in a well known
wholesale house in big manufacture
Ing town, an old bachelor bookkeepcr,
who had been many years with the
firm, suddenly announced that he was
to be married.
The partners gave him n weeks holi-
day, and his fellow clerks raised a
little purse and presented It to pay the
expenses of his wedding trip.
A couple Of days after the wedding
one Of the members OF the firm went
down TO n seaside resort, and there,
lounging about the parade and ap-
parently enjoying himself immensely,
he saw his recently married old book
keeper, but alone.

"She's at home" was the reply.

A woman who had come out of the
west, where she had been COW girl on
ranch, was boarding n car I'm this
city recently. She had just placed her
foot upon the step and was preparing
to take another step TO the upper plat
form when, with a furious "Step live
ly" the conductor pulled the strap.
The car Jerked forward, and the west
ern woman swayed back for n minute,
then just caught herself In time TO pre-
vent bad fall upon the cobbles.
She confronted the conductor with
angry eyes-eyes that had looked un-
dismayed into those Of mighty horned
monsters OF the prairies.
"What do you mean by starting the
car before | was on III" she asked.
Cant wait all day for you, lady,"
the conductor snarled. Just step In
side there"
In a moment the western woman,
with n backward golf sweep OF the
arm, lunged for the conductors head.
He lodged. The blow sent his hat
spinning back into the track. The
woman entered the car and sat down.
She was flushed, but dlgnlfied. While
the other women passengers were rath-
er startled. they all knew just how she
felt, Then the car stopped, while the
conductor went back for his hat. The
western woman rode free that time

Dangerous Etiquette.

Old world privilege and restriction
reign supreme in Spain, where there is
a law that no subject shall touch the
person Of the king or queen.
Alfonso XIII nearly suffered a Sc
we're fall from this rule In his child
hood. An aunt of his made him pres
ent Of a swing. When he used II for
the first time, the motion frightened
him, and he began TO cry, whereupon a
ackey lifted him quietly out of II and
20, no doubt, preserved him from fall
ing.
The breach of etiquette, however,
was fragrant and dreadful The queen
was obliged 10 punish It by dlsmlsslng
The man from his post. At the same
time she showed her real feelings on
The subject by appointing him imme-
llately 70 another and better place in
the royal household.
In another case n queen Of Spain
nearly lost her life In n dreadful way
owing to this peculiar rule. She had
been thrown when out riding, and, her
foot catching In the stlrrup, she was
dragged. Her escort would not risk
interference, and she would have been
dashed TO pieces but for the heroic In
tcrposltlon OF young man who stop
ped the horse and released her from
her dangerous position.
AS soon as they saw she was safe
her escort turned to arrest the traitor
who had dared TO touch the queens
foot, but he was not 10 be seen. Know
Ing well the penalty he had incurred,
he made Off at once, fed for his life
and did not stop until he had crossed
the frontier.

Girls OF today, give ear

Help men in the upward way,
Truly girl today
Is the strongest power in life.

REASONS WHY BRYAN
INTERESTS THE PEOPLE


Whatever else may be said Of Mr..
Bryan, he Is consistent and he is GER
tainly sincere. At least as consistent
and sincere as Mckinley. This is now
conceded by his bitterest and most un-
fair opponents. lie has also the courage
Of his convictions. Not only that, but,
believing himself TO be right, he has un-
bounded faith in the desire Of the Ameri.
can people TO do the right thing.
This accounts for several peculiarities
about Mr.. Bryan as politician. Hav-
ing convictions, resting upon a solid
foundation Of principle, which does not
change, he is enabled to talk with the
utmost freedom upon any public ques.
tlon at any time, without running the
risk Of having TO reverse himself the
next time he talks on the subject.
Having this faith in the people, he
does not consider II necessary to juggle
with public questions and TO use
language for the concealment OF thought.
Neither does he wait 10 see which is to
be the popular side Of a new question
before he expresses himself. He be-
lieves he is right, and he believes that
the people will, soon or lat), agree with
him because he is right.
He who tries - gauge public senti-
ment first aud then take his stand &C.
cordingly may, II very lucky, attain
some success, but he is sure to make
eggregious blunders, be Obliged 10 stul.
tify his record, and will eventually be
found out. The opportunist can never
be a great statesmRn or great leader Of
men.
Mr.. Bryan is not an opportunist. lie
Is not willing to change his convictions
to agree with what seems 10 be the trend
Of popular sentiment, Had the silver
question retained both it's absolute and
its relative importance, he would have
made exactly the same fight in 1900 that
he waged in 1895, His doctrine on the
money question has not changed one
iota since he expounded II at the Salem
State fair grounds six years ago.
But the money question is hardly at
issue this year. IL is OF less immediats 3
Importance OF itself, aud the issue Of i'm q.
p,rialism OF so much more moment, than
the money question was even in 1896,
taat the latter is now dwaried almost
into insigniheance. The Republican
campaign textbook puts the Tariff ques-
tion first, then expansion and then a
colonial policy.
The money question is not put first IN
the spellbinder's bible. Mr.. Bryan's
first recorded utterance on the question

The Word asnInrY.n -

The way languages are built up is
very interesting, and the derivation OF

In ancient times Roman soldiers re-
celved Il daily portion OF salt as part

salt, and when the salt was In course

plunged into the sea and, buffeting the
waves with lusty slnews, succeeded at
