Next to the Hungarian comes the
English Parliament with sixteen Jewish

The German Reichstag comes next in
the list with eleven Jewish members.
Most of these have been elected by the
Social Democratic party. The so-called
liberal parties refuse to take into their
ranks even baptized Jew.
In the Prussian Landstag there are
seven Jews. They bear the nickname,
''The Seven Wise Men Of Greece" be-
cause they always are silent when Jewish
questions are under discussion. In the
recent debates concerning the expulsion
of Russian Jews, these "Wicked Seven"
said nothing. Not one Of them felt
called upon to put in word for the ex-
PEELED Jews.
In the Austrian Reichstag there are
six Jews, but the size Of the Jewish
population entities them to at least
twenty-four seats.
France, Italy and Holland have four
Jewish representatives each. In Italy
and Holland there have repeatedly been
Jewish ministers in the government.

Steps will be taken at once to pay off

Cannery Force Reduced.

The force of employees at the Mutual
CanDery has been reduced from about
$50 to about 40 this week. This reduc-
tion was made necessary on account of
the end of the Cherry season having
been reached The attention of the
management is now devoted wholly to
the canning of raspberries and Logan
berries. When the berry season is over
the cannery will probably close tenn
porarily until the early pears and APP
Piles are ripe.
\ In number of ways the work done
by the Salem Mutual Cannery is an ex-
pertinent. 1t has long been asserted by
the fruit growers that the canneries do
not pay sufficiently large price for
fruit, and that the Gamers profits are
yleater than those Of the growers.
The growers own and control the Mu-
tual plant, and the work this year will
in measure decide the question Of
prices in Marion county.

"rhe World Against Him"

Last night at the Edison theatre a
large and appreciative audience greet
ed the Brigham Cooper Company in
their new play entitled "The World
Against Him" The play is one Of
sterling merit, and there was not a
dbl moment during the entire per
formance last night. Mr.. Percy Brig.

hearted man Of the world, won hisses
from the audience. which signify that
he played his part well. Mr.. Charles
Caulkins has a most difficult role this
week, one which requires much study,
His pathos were well-toned and his
comedy caused many a laugh. Miss
Iva Shepard has a part this week that
seems TO be well suited to her. She
gave neat performance Of 1t last

hard work. Taken on the whole. this
is one Of the most pleasing plays yet
