tinctons. domestic habits and public
and private diversions OF the people,.
In the Constitutional History" on the
hand DR.. Bruce describes remaining
conditions prevailing In the Colony Of
Virginia during that formative CEN
fury. This new work is the matured
fruit not only of the authors re-
searches among the records In Vir-

animation OF the Virginia manu-

The latter are mainly philosophic in

Salem's Cherry Fair.
What mean the banners on the

What means the big parade?
What means the restless, happy
crowd
In "gladdest rags" arrayed?
What mean the many tented shows,
The booths around the square?
1t means that Salem holds again
Her famous Cherry Fair
They're coming in their autos ana
They're coming on the trains,
Through highways and through by.

And through the country lanes;
On steamboat and on bicycle,
All ways. except through air
All gathering to celebrate
The Salem Cherry Fair.
There's hurrying and skurryiug
And all are on the jump
Even Arnold's biggest camel
Had to get an extra hump;
For there's always something doing
And there is no time to spare
When Salem dons her gala dress
And holds her Cherry Fair.

contest for Senator Piles seat be-
gins, it is nevertheless believed that
the endorsement OF Poindexter by
the former chief executive will have
great influence, should he decide to
make the race for the senate.
AS a consequence politicians are
reviewing Poindexter's record here
with considerable interest and the
Washington insurgent is the subject
of conversation generally in political
circles.
Poindexter is one of the most rad
ical of the insurgent group in the
house. He was one of the nine re-
publicans who voted to unseat
Speaker Cannon after the memora-
BILE fight against the speakers rules
committee. He was one of the prin-
cipals in the rules committee tight
and he has played an important part
in all the insurgent movements.
Coming from Oyster Bay with the
official stamp of "T. RI on his
record, whether the stamp takes the
form of endorsement for any specific
Office or not, It is certain, as the pol
iticians here view the case, to have
tremendous influence when the po-
litical pot in the Northwest begins
to boil.
Poindexter's delight yesterday
with Roosevelt's approval of his
record and the statement which be
issued after leaving Oyster Bay
showed that whatever matters were
discussed at the Sycamore FILL con-
ference. whether they touched upon
the Ballinger controversy and the'
Washington senatorship, or whether
they were general, had pretty di-
lrect significance.
The insurgents here today arc
pleased with the interview, They
declare that it simply indicates
that Roosevelt is behind the insur-
gent move and that he has not
changed his mind through any
friendship for the president. Roose-
velt's "OK" of Poindexter is taken.
TO signify here that the former
president does not side with Ballin-
ger. An approval Of Poinde&ter
could hardly be consistent with any
approval of Ballinger and his poll
cies, to put It in the most mild form
possible according to the politicians

New York, July 6--Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt today declared
that he did not discuss the Ballinger
controversy when Congressman
Miles Poindexter of Washington
conferred with him yesterday at oy-
ster Bay. The declaration was made
in formal statement issued today
from Roosevelt's office at the Out
look.
Roosevelt will see many sena-
tors, congressman, assemblymen and
other public men representing all
phases of public opinion" the state
ment says Gle declines to be re-
sponsible for any statements except
those he makes himself.
He has said nothing and intends
to say nothing regarding any con-
test for nomination Regarding the
conference with Congressman Poin-
dexter, l will say l was pleased to
find his past record regarding con-
servation and similar subjects was
in hearty concord with mine.
"I did not express to him any
opinions regarding senatorial nomi-
nations and Poindexter did not ask
for any. do not believe Poindex-
ter was responsible for any state
ment in the morning papers except
as I have indicated. We did not dis
cuss political questions in regard to
the Northwest and we did not touch
upon the Ballinger affair"
Washington, July Politicians
here have had two distinct shocks
in the last two days. The first
came with the alleged information
that former President Roosevelt
would support Miles Poindexter OF
Washington for the United States
senate. The second came today
when Roosevelt declared that the
first statement was untrue.
That there is much political sig
nificance behind the conference be-
tween Roosevelt and Poindexter al
Oyster Bay yesterday all the politi-
clans agree. While Roosevelt's
statement precludes the possibility
of his openly espouslng the cause Of
Poindexter for the senate, when the

The Christian Endeavor Society,
with headquarters in Boston, today
also wedged into the fight Secretary
William Shaw wired every governor
in the country, in addition to the
mayors of many cities urging them to
exclude the pictures. He also urged
President Taft, former President
Roosevelt and Governor Hughes Of
New York to lend the anti-picture
movement their influence.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1910-07-06

In his telegram to the governors
mayors, Secretary Shaw, of the
IL ian Endeavor says:
e riots and murders already
have followed the announcement of
Johnsons victory. The moving pic
lures will create more violence. Will
you join in an appeal to the authori-
ties in the cities and towns to pro-
hibit the exhibition of the pictures? :?
Help save the young people from de-
moralizating shows"
On the success or the failure of
the anti-picture movement depends
the profit or loss of the American
Vitograph Company, owners and con-
trollers of the countless sets of films
that are being prepared for the mo-
tion picture houses. Recently the
company estimated that its receipts
would exceed a million dollars but it
is now unsafe to predict any figures
until the proportions Of the anti
picture movement becomes more de-
fined. Unless the picture men are
able to quickly squelch the opponents
of the pictures, it is probable that
their profits will be greatly curtailed.
Mayor Gaynor, of New York, looks
on the pictures tolerantly, and ap-
parently sees no harm. in them. So
far as he is concerned the Dictures
can be shown in New York.
